1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. With the Super Bowl behind us, the NFL 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: will have nothing to distract fans from the Steven Ross 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder allegations. Ross has been accused of offering one 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars per loss to his former coach Brian Flores, 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: so basically the same thing as fixing games or tanking. 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: And then there's Daniel Snyder. Snyder and Washington commanders are 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: facing widespread allegations of harassment. Again, not the type of 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: image at the league once and to make matters worse 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: for the NFL, are no longer games to hide behind 11 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: because normally the news cycle is, hey, we can talk 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: about it during the week, then there's football games, and 13 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: then we forget about it. We sweep it under the rug. 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: But between the timing and seriousness of the allegations this time, 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: it could be different for both of these owners because 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: reports are both could be at risk of losing their teams. 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: That would be an interesting first step for the league, 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: but the power that the owners, it's hard to imagine 19 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: these two going down without a fight. Also, it's the 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: owners who have to vote to get rid of these 21 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: two owners. And if that's the case, the NFL offseason 22 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: could get ugly very fast. And normally in the off 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: season we're talking about quarterbacks, quarterbacks. You're going to draft 24 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who are free agents, quarterbacks who could be traded. 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: And here we are with Kyler Murray. You know, on 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: our NFL quarterback Bingo card I did not have Kyler 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: Murray an issue in the off season. But you have 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, maybe Russell Wilson Junior, the third 29 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's under contract got another year. Now he's making 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: under a million dollars. I can throw Tom Brady's still 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: in the mix because I don't know if it's officially 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: official until later on this summer, and Tom it feels 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: like it's still leaving the door open. The Buccaneers are 34 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: still leaving the door open for Tom Brady. We'll talk 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: about that coming up in a moment. But Kyler Murray 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: is shaking off the critical coverage. He brought about the 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: critical coverage because he scrubbed his social media accounts and 38 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the Cardinals. This is during 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl week. He decides to do this. Then 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: he says, I play this game, for the love of it, 41 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: my teammates, everyone who has helped me get to this position, 42 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: that believed in me and to win championships. All of 43 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: this nonsense is not what I'm about, never has been, 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: never will be. Anyone who has ever stepped between those 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: lines with me knows how hard I go. Okay, where 46 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: there's two messages here because Chris Mortenson had to report 47 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: over the weekend that there were some finger pointing with 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Kyler Murray was embarrassed with the playoff 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: laws and that he was being made a scapegoat. Well, 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: somebody else to tell Kyler Murray this goes along with 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: the territory, the highs and the lows. Every quarterback's the scapegoat. 52 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: You're the number one pick in the draft. There's expectations, 53 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: you want to Heisman Trophy. It's not like we go, Wow, 54 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: where did this guy come from? What a really unique story. No, 55 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: this is what he signed up for and he brought 56 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: about the If he doesn't scrub his Instagram account, we're 57 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: not talking about Kyler Murray right now. He wants us 58 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: to talk about this situation. Now he can distance himself, 59 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: but this is what you sign up for to be 60 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback, to be a number one overall pick. 61 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: This is about money. He wants. He wants to get 62 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: the Josh Allen treatment. Well he's not Josh Allen. And 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Are the Cardinals going to trade him? 64 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: Do you want Kyler Murray? Are you going to give 65 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: up three first round picks and then something for Kyler Murray? 66 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: And I know, you know, Pro Bowl player, a couple 67 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: of times, Rookie of the Year. I understand all of 68 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: those things. Do you want to sign up for Kyler 69 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: Murray as your franchise quarterback? Do you want to be 70 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: giving him forty forty five million dollars a year? That's 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: where you got to roll the dice here. If you 72 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: you think he's available, maybe a knock on their door. 73 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: Does Arizona want to give up Kyler Murray? I don't 74 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: think they do, but with this and yes, there's been 75 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: talk of Kyler Murray before. You know, I had a 76 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: source tell me this was prior to the start of 77 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: this year and talked to somebody in Arizona and they said, 78 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: you know, he's not a leader. He doesn't know how 79 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: to lead yet. And that's really important. And immature was 80 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: a word that came up. Immature came up in Chris 81 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: Martinson's report. Look, Aaron Rodgers has been accused of not 82 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: being a great leader or being immature, but he's a 83 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: lot older and he's proven himself. You know, it goes 84 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: along with the position. You know, Ben Roethlisberger. You've had 85 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: varying degrees of criticism with Ben as a leader and 86 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: off the field. I mean it goes with the territory. 87 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: I mean, Kyler Murray is not being treated any different 88 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: than any other quarterback here. We expect greatness out of you, 89 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: and you know when all goes, you know south, then 90 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: you go, hey, I want to get out of here. 91 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not be a leader. Step up? Why 92 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: did you scrub your Instagram account? I mean, that's what 93 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: I want to know. Just tell me that what led 94 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: you to think? If I do this? This won't create 95 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: any kind of news headlines. But Chris Martinson, I trust 96 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: Mort's report had a detailed report about Kyler Murray. But 97 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: he's shaking off the critical coverage. No word on his future, 98 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna imagine he's probably gonna say, hey, you 99 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: know what, everything's gonna be better if he didn't like 100 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury and the play calling. Okay, now we got 101 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: a conversation here because I've been critical of Cliff Kingsbury. 102 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he's an NFL coach. I mean he's 103 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: currently employed as one. But everything he does in the 104 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: first half of the season and then what happens in 105 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: the second half of the season, and not just in 106 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: the NFL in college, I mean, this is a coincidence. 107 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: So if he has a problem with that, Okay, seemed 108 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: like that was a match made in heaven for those 109 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: two guys. But Kyler Murray's a good player, and I've 110 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: said that from the beginning. I thought he was a 111 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: starting quarterback and you know, everybody talked about he was 112 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: too small. He said he can play. He makes plays. 113 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: You watch him play. But this part of it is 114 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: what concerns me. Be a leader. Step up, Hey, you know, 115 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm disappointed. Hopefully we make this better or if you 116 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: just say you want out, then say you want out. 117 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: But to me, it feels like it's Josh Allen got 118 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: a head start on his contract. I should get that. Okay. 119 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: Then asked the Cardinals, and they don't want to do it. 120 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: If I'm the Cardinals, I'm not giving you your contract 121 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,559 Speaker 1: extension now. Now, he might say I've earned it, Well, 122 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: you have a contract that allows us to get players 123 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: to build around you. I mean the Browns are gonna 124 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: wait for Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson. Now you can get 125 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: a head start on this. Buffalo decided they were going 126 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: to get a head start with Josh Allen. You know 127 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: I would. I would let this play out this year 128 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't even be sold. I'm going to give 129 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: him a long term I want to know, are you 130 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: a leader? Are you the guy who's mature? Are you 131 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: going to be the guy that we can count on 132 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: next Year's his fourth year, but this nonsense started because 133 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: he created the nonsense. Here Rookie of the Year, two 134 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, but this is the first time the Cardinals 135 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: made the playoffs this year and being a scapegoat. Just 136 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: ask every quarterback who's ever played the position. At some point, 137 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: you get a lot of blame. You get way too 138 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: much credit and way too much blame. That's what goes 139 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: along with the territory.

I just scroll through 170 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: like Instagram and Twitter, just to see, like what's happening. 171 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: You know, you can usually get a good idea of 172 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: and for some reason then being like this for the 173 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: World Championship, It's like, what are you talking about? Nobody 174 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: else in the world plays this game? How is it 175 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: like we're not disqualifying people from other countries to play? 176 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: And I mean, I guess the Canadian champion can't come 177 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: down here play Fritze and they could technically it's not accurate, 178 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: but it would be weird if you get look at 179 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: that extra motivation to say we're gonna be the best 180 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: team of these fifties Nates. You know, you feel like 181 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: you need to say the globe of the world and 182 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: the galaxy. How about this is for the super Bowl. 183 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: There you go, that's all that works. Done it. It's 184 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It's a super Bowl. Let's go and Wow. 185 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,599 Speaker 1: What a great prognostication prediction there by Sean mcvayh that 186 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald was going to make a play since he'd 187 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 1: made just about every play in the second half for 188 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: this for the World Championship right here, It's like, oh 189 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: my gosh, it just sounds so dumb to me. I 190 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: had more of a problem with Sean photo bombing everybody 191 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: after the game when they would be getting interviewed. Then 192 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm gonna get in, Hey, let 193 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: me pat you on the back, uh, and then go 194 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: down the you know the road there there'd be somebody 195 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: else getting pat them on the back, like hey, just 196 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: in case you want to talk to me, I'm here. No, 197 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: we're talking to Cooper Cup and Aaron Donald and Matthew 198 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: Stafford right now. Coach. So they won the World Championship. 199 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: Seaton has a problem with that, like in the NBA, 200 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: like you can't be a world champion in the NBA. 201 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: It's like the NBA. They play that all over the world. Right, 202 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,479 Speaker 1: there's no it should be if it's an international competition, 203 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: then you could be the world championship. O that the NBA? 204 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: Is it? Okay? What sport? Yeah? What sport can right? 205 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm taking over against the grain too. Whoa what sport? 206 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: Can you claim that you're a world champion? It is 207 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: the World Series even though it's not the world correct, 208 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: the World Cup is the world Yes it is. Yes, 209 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: boxing heavyweight champion of the world. You got boxes from 210 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: all over the world fighting each other. Hockey they play 211 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: hockey in lots of different places. Yeah, it could be 212 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: a world champion in hockey if they had an international 213 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: competition amongst. When you win the Stanley Cup, you don't 214 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: win the world Championship. I don't know. I hope I 215 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,599 Speaker 1: think that hockey players say they're Stanley Cup champions. I 216 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: don't think that they say we're the world champ. No, 217 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: they wouldn't. They wouldn't do that. We're a world champions time. 218 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: But again, you can't be like, come on, do you 219 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: want to be the best in the continental United States? One, 220 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: let's get out there and finish the talk. All right, 221 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: I guess you got a point there. Doesn't exactly roll 222 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: off the tongue. If you're giving an inspirational talk on 223 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: the sidelines Northern Hemisphere champs, that would be funny if 224 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: Sean McVay said that to Aaron Donald. Eric. Eric, let's 225 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: be the Northern Hemisphere champion. Get out there. This is 226 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: the continent. This is the continent. You check this continent 227 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: and we'll worry about the other continent will be at 228 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: the time. Do you think people on Antarctica you know 229 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: we're going Wait a minute, come on, we're not involved 230 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: that we don't get a chance to play. I think 231 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: we could beat the rams anyway, if we've got our 232 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: group together in the backyard. Is that how they sound 233 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: an Antarctic weeks? Our cameraman just said, yeah. And how 234 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: come miss Universe is always from Earth? Fair question?

Michelle Tafoya, 243 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: NBC Sunday Night Football sideline reporter, past tense.

But 247 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: what was it like when you walked off the field 248 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: for the final time? Oh my gosh, Dan him. I'll 249 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: tell you something. I had kept it together and kept 250 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: it together because you know, I've been planning on this 251 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: for years now. And then I decided, as I was leaving, 252 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, maybe I should just sort of look back 253 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: at where I am walking away from and look back 254 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: at the field and just sort of take it in 255 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: and remember this. And I lost it. I lost it. 256 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: I didn't like sob, but I cried. I looked back 257 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: That stadium is beautiful. It so far as you know, 258 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: it was still full of energy and people and and 259 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: I just looked at the lights, and I looked at 260 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: the field and I said, I'm not going to feedback 261 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: like this here again, or at any stadium for that matter, 262 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: and I kind of I kind of like the whole 263 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: thing sort of flashed before my eyes. It was. It was. 264 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: It was a moment um, sort of bittersweet but amazing. 265 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: How physically demanding it take us onto the field. You're 266 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: trying to get Aaron Donald after the game, and how 267 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: does that work? Where your game ends? And then all 268 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's chaos, they tell you, and I'm 269 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: when I say they, the team's pr staff, your camera crew, 270 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: your sideline producer, everyone that's helping says, you stand here, 271 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: will get Aaron. And you're standing there, and it's my 272 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: nature to go chase the guy down myself because it's like, 273 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: where is he? You know, so we gotta get this done. 274 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: So it's um. You know, it can be physically it 275 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: is chaotic, but you don't care because you're you're you're 276 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: single mindedly pursuing this this person and thinking about what 277 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: you're going to ask, and so you care less about 278 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: the chaos. You see right through it somehow and you 279 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: just you just get it done. But I will say 280 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: I was talking to him and when McVeagh came up 281 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: behind him to hug him, my arm was stuck between them. 282 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: That was a little bit of an uncomfortable moment. It 283 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: was kind of a weird sort of position of being. 284 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: And how much time do you know you have with 285 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald post game on the field? I really didn't know, Dan, 286 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I know someone in my ear will 287 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: go wrap it, you know, if I'm wannt too long. 288 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: But for me, it's as long as it's compelling and 289 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: as long as it's you know, you don't want to 290 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: keep the guy forever. He wants to go be with 291 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: his teammates. You know you have a job to do, 292 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: but you're trying to be sensitive to all those elements 293 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: of the moment. And so I knew it was going 294 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: to be three questions, maybe four, Max, and I think 295 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: that's what we did. But also, you know you have 296 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: something because he's crying, and then you want to be 297 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: sensitive to him being sensitive himself. And there's that fine 298 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: line of am I milking this? And how do you 299 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: judge that You just put it really nicely, You don't. 300 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: You don't want to milk it. You don't want to 301 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: be like you let's just see how much we can 302 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: get him to cry, But you do want to let 303 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: him be authentic. You want to know what's behind the tears. 304 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: You obviously, on a human level, we all know what's there, right, 305 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: It's this moment of incredible victory, of a lifetime of 306 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: waiting for justice. You know that's all there. You don't 307 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: want to put that into his mouth. You want to 308 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: ask him, You want him to tell you what it is. 309 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: So you're trying to find clever ways to get there 310 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: and at the same time let him. Let him talk 311 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: about that final play because that that did the game in, 312 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: that iced it right. So there's just a I don't know, 313 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: it's a balancing act that and you never get it 314 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: perfectly right, but you try. And then Rodney Harrison pregame says, hey, 315 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised. Aaron Donald walks away, and I'm like, wait, 316 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: Rodney's now an insider. And I was going to text 317 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: him to say, Rodney, do you know what you just said? 318 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: Because now it's a part of the game. And even afterwards, 319 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, are you thinking, can I ask him? Should 320 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: I ask him? How do I ask him about retiring? Yeah? 321 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: And I had to because if you don't you damned 322 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: if you do, Damned if you don't in that minute Dan, 323 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: because people, if you don't ask, you get criticized. When 324 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: you do ask, you get criticized. But I had to, 325 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: and in fact, I used it in my open too, 326 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: because Rodney had reported that to us that he was 327 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, look, if I win this thing, 328 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: maybe I'll go away and call it a career. So 329 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: we use that in my opening on camera, and then 330 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: you got a bookend it. You have to ask the 331 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: question you just and and I thought it was kind 332 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: of telling that he said, I'm just going to soak 333 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: this in for now, and I totally respect that, and 334 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,479 Speaker 1: I knew we probably weren't going to get a definitive answer. 335 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: But you know, when I did my first Super Bowl, 336 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: it was Pittsburgh, Jerome Bettis was thinking about retiring and 337 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: I did a I recorded my postgame interview with him. 338 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 1: He told me he was going to retire, and then 339 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: they they ditched my recorded interview with him and grabbed 340 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: someone to do it live. I think it was Tarico 341 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: who stole that moment. Oh you know, so I was 342 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: just gonna I was gonna ask more likely to walk 343 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: away Aaron Donald or Sean McVeigh. Aaron Donald, I mean 344 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: if I if I had to weigh those this. You know. 345 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: We asked Sean McVey about that on Saturday. We had 346 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: a final conference call with him and he's like, shoot, 347 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: they asked me, you know, am I going to do 348 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: this till I'm sixteen? Well so, But but then I've 349 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: also seen some interesting little or I should say, picked 350 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: up on some interesting vibes coming out of industry folks 351 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,239 Speaker 1: that think, you know, he has an opportunity to go 352 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: do what John Gruden once did, which is walk away 353 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: from coaching for a while, do some TV, relax, and 354 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: he's young enough he could go back to coaching again. 355 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: My gosh, he's a Super Bowl champion. I was told 356 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: that this morning by a source who said there's interest 357 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: on both sides with ESPN and Sean McVeigh, and my 358 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: sore said, I don't know if it's a leverage play. 359 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 1: The same thing with Aaron Donald. I don't know if 360 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: this is a leverage play. Same thing with Kyler Murray 361 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: with what's going on with him, leverage play. Well, with Kyler, 362 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: it would seem more of a leverage play. He's so 363 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: early in his career. And we were talking about Aaron Donald, 364 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: how great he is but think about you know, guys 365 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: that did walk away when they were at their prime 366 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: and they were still able to enjoy the rest of 367 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: their lives. I mean, Aaron Donald has worked his un 368 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: Am I allowed to say ass off on your show? Yes, 369 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: you just did? Okay, Okay, He's worked his ass off 370 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: for so long. I thought one of the things he 371 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: said in the interview was so sweet. He said, I 372 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: promised my five year old daughter that I would win 373 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: a super Bowl, and now he's delivered that to her. 374 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: Maybe he's promising her more daddy daughter time too. We 375 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: don't know that. And so you know, for a guy 376 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: who just his whole life is about work and staying fit, 377 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: maybe he's ready. Who knows. Yeah, but maybe a buys 378 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: are a couple of ponies, Michelle, and he continues to play. 379 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: I mean if I if you say to your five 380 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: year old, do you want a couple of ponies? Or 381 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: do you want daddy to be home all the time. 382 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: I know what my five year old would have said, ponies, 383 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: Oh of course not. Of course. I'll take cash. Mom, 384 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: I don't don't buy the pony, give me money, give 385 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: me the American Express card and I'm good. No, you know. 386 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: I do remember my daughter once I came home from 387 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: the end of a season and there was a note 388 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: on my desk that said, I'm so glad football season 389 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: is over, and you know it just yanked it. It 390 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, you don't think your kids 391 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: are thinking about that, but they are. They love you 392 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: being around um. Everyone has their own story, So I'll 393 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: be really eager to see what Aaron does. He's a 394 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: phenomenal player. He look, he's achieved about everything you can achieve, right, 395 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: what do you have left to do except, I guess, 396 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: make more money. Michelle Tafoya, NBC Sunday Night Football sideline 397 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: reporter Odell Beckham and that storyline postgame for you, the 398 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: importance of hearing from OBJ was what, well, we didn't 399 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: get to hear from him. I didn't get to see 400 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: it either, Dan. What did he say a postgame was 401 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: there was there somewhere that he spoke because what I 402 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: saw was he came back out onto the sideline dressed 403 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: in you know, his sweats. I saw him celebrating. He didn't. 404 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: He looked happy, but for a guy who had caught 405 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: a touchdown in the in the Super Bowl, and then 406 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, you saw it happen. It's one of those 407 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: No one hit him, it was non contact. It was 408 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: this this moment. If the guy has torn his acl again, 409 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm crushed for him. We had a really great discussion 410 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: with OBJ the week of the Super Bowl where he 411 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: confessed a lot of stuff about how the catch in 412 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: New York was a blessing and a curse, be careful 413 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: what you wished for, because it changed his life, both 414 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: good and bad. How he was too young maybe for that, 415 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: all that attention in New York City, what happened in Cleveland, 416 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: how he felt when he left Cleveland, how much soul 417 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: searching he did, and how he's really he feels he's 418 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: grown up a lot from all of those things. It 419 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: was a truly compelling interview with him that we had, 420 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: and so we were all a little heartbroken for him 421 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: not to be able to finish that game. I was 422 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: also wondering about him in the media. You know, it's 423 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: another knee injury. Good looking guy, charisma. Could you see 424 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: him in a studio environment. That's a great point. I could, 425 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: because I don't think people understand how deep this kid 426 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: is as the thinker, and because you don't get that 427 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: opportunity very often to just sit down with a guy 428 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: with no cameras around and just talk. And that's what 429 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: we did with him during the week when we went 430 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: up to Ram's practice, and it was we were all 431 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: just like spellbound. I mean, we were all just I 432 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: don't want to exaggerate, but we were all I don't 433 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: know that people were taking because we're just listening and 434 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: absorbing what this guy's been through and it was fascinating. Now, 435 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: I think he can find a way to channel that. 436 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: He is a good looking guy, He's got a lot 437 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: of accomplishments on his resume, he knows the game, people, 438 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: he can you can think of him as a polarizing character. 439 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: I think he's going to come around to being a 440 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: beloved character. Well, we've seen wide receivers do this. Who 441 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: knew Randy Moss would be a good studio analystter Michael 442 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: Irvin would be a charismatic guy like this happens and 443 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: it feels like he would be a natural. So let 444 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: the audience know what is next for Michelle Tafoya. Well, 445 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: you know what's gotten picked up the most is that 446 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm I'm helping to run a campaign in Minnesota. We've 447 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: got a guy running for governor there, Candle Falls, who 448 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: I'm very supportive of and am going to be the 449 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: CoA chair of his campaign. Dan. I know this is 450 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: going to sound corny and dumb. I don't care. I 451 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: really don't care what people think. Every morning I wake 452 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: up and there is a palpable whole at my chest, 453 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: like you've got to go do something that helps people out. 454 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: We are in a bad place in this country. I 455 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: am the daughter of American dreamers. You know. My dad's 456 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: a first generation Latino here. My mom grew up poor, 457 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: dirt poor in the Depression. My whole family lived the 458 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: American dream. I believe in it, and I I gotta 459 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: help in whatever way I can. I've taken enough of 460 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: the American dream. I want other people to believe in it. 461 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: I want people to be stopped being told what they 462 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: can't do and being told what they can do, because 463 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: the opportunities here are limitless, and I'm tired of people 464 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: being told you can't get that now. It's unfair here. 465 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: There is a lot of unfairness in life, but there's 466 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: a lot more opportunity, and I just seem to find 467 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: a way to help move that along somehow Someway. It's 468 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: an honor to have worked with you. And back at 469 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: your Pali and uh and good luck and hopefully you 470 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,479 Speaker 1: get that that quality time at home because you know, 471 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: I left ESPN and people said you're crazy, and I said, 472 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: I'm not crazy if I'm going home to my kids. 473 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: But exactly, you know what mix in a Viking game 474 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: occasionally maybe do like a preseason sideline, you know, just 475 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: to keep ready, just in like Tom Brady.

It's just it's not how old you 485 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: are young, if you're male, female, are you professional? And 486 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: two of the most professional people I ever worked with, 487 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: Andrey Kramer and Michelle, and I've worked with so many 488 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: and they are professional, but when you have somebody who's 489 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: so buttoned up, they make you kind of reconsider are 490 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: you buttoned up when you're ready to do your job 491 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: as well?

I mentioned 506 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: that a source told me this morning that there's real 507 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: interest on both sides of the Mothership and Sean McVeigh 508 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: for him to be an analyst. I don't know if 509 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: it's in the booth, I don't know if it's in studio, 510 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: and I don't know if it would actually happen. But 511 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: Sean is thirty six years of age. He didn't rule 512 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: out maybe stepping away. He's getting married Aaron Donald, he 513 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: did not rule out retiring. After he told that to 514 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison. I think Rodney's joining us on the show tomorrow. 515 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: Is that right Thursday? So we'll talk to Rodney on 516 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: Thursday about that. But you know, it was sort of 517 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: an off handed uh. Aaron Donald said that if they win, 518 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: he might retire, and then all of a sudden he 519 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: was sort of looming there as you're watching the game, 520 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. He was ask are you going to coach 521 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: you forever? And he said no, And I think people 522 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: started to massage that however they wanted to. But I 523 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: don't think Sean is ruled out maybe looking at being 524 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: a broadcaster. But I'm just going by what my source 525 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: told me. He said. A couple of people who are 526 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: friends with Sean, close to him, say, don't rule that out. 527 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: Might be a leverage plague, but that there is interest 528 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: on both sides. Look, this is great timing. Anybody who's 529 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: ever negotiated a contract, all you're looking for is somebody 530 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: else to be interested in you. There were times when 531 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: I had networks who were interested in me, and I 532 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: wanted to use that as leverage to stay at ESPN. 533 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: People do this all the time, and could I see 534 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: Sean McVay coming back to the rams. Absolutely be hard 535 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: to walk away from that. But if you do walk away, 536 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: you can always come back. Coaches go into the broadcast 537 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: booth or an analyst. That happened at ESPN when I 538 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: was there numerous times, and want to have a pit 539 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: stop breather. You want to come back after a couple 540 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: of years, maybe you find that you like it, Maybe 541 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: you like that routine, and maybe that's something that Sean 542 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: McVay is actually seriously exploring. That's our poll question for 543 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: the final hour, I believe, is that what we're going with, Paulie. Yeah, 544 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: that's it. By the way, Sean mcfay is thirty five 545 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: years younger than Pete Carroll. By the way, thirty five 546 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: years younger. Well, Pezza lifer, though Pete's gonna coach I 547 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: don't see Pete doing media, but Sean, Yeah, he loves 548 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: the limelight, he loves the camera. It's got charisma. But 549 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: LA is a great place to be. I mean, he 550 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: can still live there and do media. But from what 551 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm told, there's interest on both sides. With the ESPN 552 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: yes seton yeah. I mean he's only been a head 553 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: coach for a couple of years or me a handful 554 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: yes have been on a five years, six year or 555 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: something like that. I think, so, yeah, we'll get some 556 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: phone calls in here. By the way, you know, Tom 557 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: Brady announced his retirement. That was a couple of weeks ago, 558 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: and everybody assumed that Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be in 559 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: trouble because it's gonna be hard to replace him. But 560 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: they still have a good roster. I don't know if 561 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: they resigned Chris Godwin, Leonard Fournette, still have a young defense. 562 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, or Deshaun 563 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: Watson will be in play for them. Bucks don't have 564 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: a lot of cap space here, but they have some 565 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: draft picks, so a trade could be done. But Tampa 566 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: could once again be a force to be reckoned with 567 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: in the NFC, and Tampa was not ruling out Tom Brady, 568 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, totally retiring. And I don't think Tom Brady 569 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: is totally ruling it out. But I think right now 570 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: it's just I am retired. I'm happy and I get that. 571 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean that's the case. Then I understand that and 572 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: happy for him. But it's going to be really tough 573 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: later on this summer because you know, as athletes, your 574 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: creatures have it. You get into that rhythm. This is 575 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: what I do, this is when I do it. And 576 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: I think that this is last podcast with Jim Gray 577 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: and Larry Fitzgerald and people. I think, you know when 578 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: Tom said to Jim Gray, you know what, let me plant, 579 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: let me plan. This is a portion from the podcast 580 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: on Monday Night where people ready into this answer with 581 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: Jim Gray and Tom Brady. How are you going to 582 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: go about your life? And if somebody sees you out 583 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: working out because you're staying in shape, that's going to 584 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: lead to all kinds of rumors. So what will you 585 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: be doing next with yourself? And will you stay in 586 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: shape or are you going to start running over to 587 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: eat a few key line pies. You know, I love 588 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: those key line pies too. That's my deserted choice. So 589 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: there'll definitely be a few more of those. And I'm 590 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: super content and happy with how I feel on my decision. 591 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, as I said, all you gonna do is 592 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: take a day by day. Nothing's promised for us. I'm 593 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: going to do things I really enjoy and spend time 594 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: with people that I really enjoy spending time with. Okay, 595 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: I think, Hey, I'll talk to you in September, and 596 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: then people thought, well, wait a minute, what's going to 597 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: happen in between talk to you in September? Are you 598 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: going to be playing when we do this podcast in September? 599 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: I think once you get to he's gonna take a 600 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,719 Speaker 1: couple of vacations. Then all of a sudden, you're gonna go, 601 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: Now what do I do. I'm used to working out 602 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: with my teammates, you know, the OTAs. I'm looking forward 603 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: to all that stuff. But that pole, that centrifical force 604 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: that you have where you go, oh my god, I 605 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: can't get away from this. You get through the first year. 606 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: Like Larry Fitzgerald, I think a lot of people thought 607 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: that he would come back when DeAndre Hopkins got hurt 608 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: that he would come back. No, he was good, but 609 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: getting through that first year that's the hard part. It's 610 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: like Eric Weddle, who's going to join his coming up. 611 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: He was on his couch. Reason why I was on 612 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: his couch and nobody called, and then all of a 613 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: sudden the rams go, hey can you play sure? When 614 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: can you get in shape? Be there tomorrow. Next thing 615 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, he's in the super Bowl. Hill Joan is 616 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: coming up in about fifteen minutes, Matthew and California joins us. Now, hey, Matt, 617 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey morning Dan, Thanks for 618 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: taking my call. But hey, can you ask Eric why 619 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: he thought it was necessary to take shops at Tom 620 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: Telesco and the Chargers and the endgame pressor um, I 621 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: guess I can bring it up. Maybe he wanted to say, see, 622 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: I told you that I was going to amount to something, 623 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: all right, wasn't done? I don't I don't know. I 624 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: know there was bad blood when Eric led the chart 625 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: left the Chargers and Tom Telesco was the GM. But 626 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, take a shot, just let people know. Don't 627 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: give up on me. Yeah, you know it. Once again, 628 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: you don't know what motivates these athletes. What drives these 629 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: athletes and that could be part of it. He wanted 630 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: to prove the Chargers wrong, even when he went to 631 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: the race, evens I don't know. Uh, Luke Fickle is 632 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 1: staying at Cincinnati. That's a big deal because I thought 633 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: that he could get a job he was going to 634 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: get if Ohio State opened up, if Michigan had opened up, 635 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: if Notre Dame when it opened up. You know, Luke 636 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 1: Fickle wasn't interested in interviewing because they were playing in 637 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: the Final four. But he was a hot commodity a 638 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: couple of months ago. But Luke Fickle staying at Cincinnati. 639 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: Here's a headline. Now you want to get clicks, This 640 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: is what I would use if I was trying to 641 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: get clicks. Lebron interested in a three way see got 642 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: Todd's attention? Yeah, mega clicks. They could break your finger. 643 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: He wants he wants a three way parade, then in 644 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: and out order, in and out burger. He would like 645 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: to combine it. Maybe you have the Lakers and the 646 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 1: Rams and the Dodgers and you have one big parade there, Yeah, 647 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: a three for one yes time? And who would be 648 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: leading the parade The childhood buddies of Matthew Stafford and 649 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: how great would that be? They got the lead car 650 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: and then let's get it going, okay, and then Lebron 651 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: is with them. No, he could be in a separate car. 652 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: I think the two of them could be in one 653 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,479 Speaker 1: because of their you know, they won the same team 654 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 1: as kids. So Los Angeles, now in the city of champions, 655 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,720 Speaker 1: have a parade. I think the timing with the Lakers 656 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: not being very good, you know that that's where it's like, 657 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: got to include the Lakers here. Yeah, Paul, that's a 658 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: tough one though, Like let's say this actually happened. The 659 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: logistics of trying to get that many egos on the 660 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, in one place, and who goes first, who 661 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: speaks first? Is it? You know, because a lot of 662 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: people think it's a Lakers town, but it's a Dodgers town. 663 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: Do the rams are most recent? Do they go last? 664 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: I mean, there would be a lot of jockeying for position. Yeah. 665 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: It is interesting though, But if you're the city and 666 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: you say, let's just do it one big one, um, 667 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: you know the cost of doing one parade with security, 668 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: having people have that one day, that one special day, 669 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: city of champion. Sure, why do I'm up for it. 670 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,439 Speaker 1: I'm always up for a good parade. Have you guys 671 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: ever been to a championship parade? Yeah? Paul in Chicago 672 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,919 Speaker 1: Bears Shocking Lane. Oh, very very cold, Skip School. Saw 673 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: actual teachers there from my school. Yeah. See, when my 674 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: little league team won the town championship, we had a 675 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: we had a parade that day. Wait, what constitutes a parade? Um, well, 676 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: we marched around a bunch and then went and got pizza. 677 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: It was about as big as it. Guy, We went 678 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: to species. It was a big deal. Okay, all right. 679 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: I remember when the Mets had their parade, when the 680 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: Rangers had there, Like, I've been involved in a few 681 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: of those parade, but I had to cover them that. 682 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: It's not as much fun to cover a parade because 683 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: you're trying to get sound bites with guys who were 684 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: going by in the car and they're all hammered and uh, 685 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of taking your life into your 686 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,720 Speaker 1: own hands. So much confetti, though, I get, just pours 687 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: out of these buildings. It's cool, you know that that 688 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 1: New York does this. They're what Canyon of champions there. 689 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: But parade not fun. To cover. All Right, some phone 690 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: calls here, Let's see Elliott in California. Hi, Elliott, what 691 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: do you have for me? Hey? Dan, thanks for taking 692 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: my call, appreciate it. Just two quick questions. One, watching 693 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: the game the postgame interviews. I just felt like we 694 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: were rushed off, you know, kind of the last game 695 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: of the season. You hope you kind of get commentaries 696 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: from both sides, the losing coach, and it just felt 697 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: like they rushed just off to kind of get to 698 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: the Olympics. You'll have to get your thoughts on that. 699 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: And secondly, in Tampa, there's so many good quarterbacks that 700 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: are kind of coming up. It would be ironic that 701 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy G gets to Tampa. As you know, Lynch, former 702 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: general manager, played there. What are your thoughts, Oh, I 703 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: don't know where Jimmy You know, if I'm the Niners, 704 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: I keep Jimmy G. I do because I don't think 705 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: Trey Lanz. From what I'm told, Trey Lance is just 706 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,479 Speaker 1: not ready for the moment yet and he hasn't played 707 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: that much football. I would keep Jimmy G for another year. 708 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if Jimmy G's gonna want that, But 709 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: if I'm and that's a really good roster and maybe 710 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: gets another chance to prove himself. And I thought Pittsburgh 711 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: could be a place that he could end up, but 712 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: I don't have any information on that. I would just 713 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: be speculating on that. West in Indiana High West. What's 714 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: on your mind? Hey, Dan? Have we doing this morning? 715 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 1: So on the topic of Sean McVeigh, I actually met 716 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,359 Speaker 1: with a family member of his this morning, let's say, 717 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: like an antra uncle or cousin to be. To not 718 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: give my source away, but I went up to him 719 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: or her and said, Hey, Sean retiring. They looked at 720 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: me and smiled and said, what have you heard? And 721 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: I said, well, there's reports coming out all over the 722 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: news that he might be retiring. Individual just smiled and said, 723 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: I've known for months that this is coming. So I'm 724 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: willing to put a shower of shame or pie of 725 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: the face down that he is retiring. Based off my 726 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: sty journalists flow Anthony, who claims to have spoken to 727 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: us source with knowledge from someone close to Woods, says 728 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: Tiger is struggling. Okay West source close to a source 729 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: and maybe he's got saying okay, who wants a piece 730 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: of this West bet. Anybody up for a pipe, Paulie. 731 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: The bet is he is saying that Sean McVay is 732 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: going to retire this offseason. Yes, I'll take it, all right, Yeah, 733 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: I'll take that. Seaton's going pie in the face all right, 734 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: tire Okay. Now, when you say retire, retires a head coach, 735 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,959 Speaker 1: not retire and then you know, go live someplace Los 736 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: Angeles rams coach. Okay, So we got two pies to 737 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: the face here with Sean McVeigh. Does he retire? All right? Wes, 738 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on this. We'll keep an eye 739 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: on that. Uh, let's see Blake in New Orleans. Hey, Blake. 740 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 1: Since Ryan said the bar solo this morning, I wanted 741 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,320 Speaker 1: to call it with an obvious BP show Valentine name. Okay, 742 00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: Jinny Lipper, Oh okay, thank thank you. Blee. You guys 743 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 1: feel good about your Sean McVay bet. I sometimes think 744 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: our callers dump bets just to get some maritied. I 745 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 1: don't think you talked to anybody. I'm fine with that content. 746 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: I would be shocked if he retired and took the 747 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: broadcasting John. I would be shocked. Oh man, nothing shocks 748 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: me in this business. Nothing. I would be nothing shocks me. Yes, 749 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,919 Speaker 1: this is the only thing I could see. If if 750 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: somehow ESPN decided to blow up their Monday night football 751 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,919 Speaker 1: booth and Sean McVay is part of that master plan 752 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: and they've kept it quiet, That's the only thing I 753 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,280 Speaker 1: could see, because that is a that's a monster stage, 754 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: and that's what Gruden did. What if Al Michaels went 755 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: to ESPN and Sean McVay was in the booth with it, 756 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: That actually makes more sense if you came up with 757 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: something like gigantic like that. What if Al's you know, 758 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: Al's got a couple of opportunities here. He could go 759 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: to Amazon. Troy Yakman could go there, he could go 760 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: to the Mothership. He could also go to Fox and 761 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: H and do some of those big games when Joe 762 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: buck is doing baseball. And you know, I don't know 763 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: how much Al wants to work. You want to work 764 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: every every weekend. But he's still at the top of 765 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 1: his game. That was obvious when listening to him in 766 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Drew in New Mexico. Then we'll take 767 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,439 Speaker 1: a break. Hey Drew, what's on your mind today? Hey? 768 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: What's going on? Hey Drew? I just really wanted to. Man. 769 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 1: Michelle Sapoya has been one of those sideline reporters that 770 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: you just enjoy watching. Most of the time, it's just 771 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: a sideline reporter talking to a coach. But when Al 772 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: Michael said that this was her last game, I looked 773 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,879 Speaker 1: at my girlfriend and went, oh, man and h I'd 774 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 1: also like to I want to bring up Logan Wilson, 775 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: that linebacker from the Bengals. He went to NHS High 776 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: School and Casper, Wyoming, went to the University Wyoming and 777 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: now as their play caller on their defense. And I 778 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: talked to my dad on Sunday afternoon, who live in Wyoming, 779 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 1: and he said, oh, no, we're going to the Angles. 780 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: This is the first time that an entire state has 781 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: been rooting for the Bengals based on a linebacker. Well, 782 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: thank you. He had a really good game and I 783 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't have thrown that flag on the interference with Cooper 784 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 1: Cup would not have thrown that flag.
