Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh, it's the day before the Day. Come on, end,
Speaker 1: stay a while, seton, Paul, Fritzie mclovin. Yours truly here
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show. A lot to talk about.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with Chip Kelly, ucla head coach a
Speaker 1: little bit later on. McKenzie Milton, the Florida's state quarterback,
Speaker 1: nearly had his leg amputated thirty four months ago and
Speaker 1: nearly came to the rescue, providing a Rudy like moment
Speaker 1: for Florida State. But unlike Rudy, this was actually real.
Speaker 1: Although Seaton gets upset, he and PAULI think that Rudy
Speaker 1: was a documentary, Notre Dame. It's the greatest documentary of
Speaker 1: our time. Remember when we had Joe Montana on and
Speaker 1: Joe Joe put an end to the all that Rudy
Speaker 1: story because Joe was there at the time. It's like
Speaker 1: the most damaging thing to Joe Montana's legacy. F Rudy take. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's hard to find somebody saything negative about Joe Montana
Speaker 1: except for when he basically said, yeah, that Rudy story.
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's a Rudy Denier. Yes, yes, he is. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: We had him on and you were asked about Roody
Speaker 1: and he was kind of hesitant to heaven and haunt
Speaker 1: he goes. You know, we were kind of goofing on him,
Speaker 1: having fun with him. When we started chanting his name.
Speaker 1: It wasn't quite what it looked like in the movie.
Speaker 1: And he was off signs hater. He was off signs encroachment. Rudy.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. Already in progress, as you can
Speaker 1: tell each seven seven three d P Show email ADDRESSDP
Speaker 1: at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show.
Speaker 1: Say good morning to our radio and TV partners. Remember
Speaker 1: all of those Tom Brady quotes in New England. Oh
Speaker 1: that's right, he didn't have any there. But he's certainly
Speaker 1: making up for lost time in Tampa. He recently told
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Times that he had COVID during the
Speaker 1: off season, got it at the victory parade. He plans
Speaker 1: on keeping, plans to keep on playing in Tampa for
Speaker 1: a while. But the one thing that hasn't changed is
Speaker 1: his attention to detail. He's complained about a new rule
Speaker 1: that allows players to switch numbers. Here is Tom Brady
Speaker 1: on that topic. I'm gonna talk about Jersey numbers too.
Speaker 1: I could get on there. I feel pretty strongly about that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into it. I've already talked
Speaker 1: and nausea about it. I think it's a stupid rule
Speaker 1: just to be to put it out there one more time.
Speaker 1: He's got the Cowboys tomorrow night. He said, last minute
Speaker 1: number changes makes his job much tougher because if you're
Speaker 1: seeing a number and you think that's a defensive back
Speaker 1: and you find out it's a linebacker the other way around,
Speaker 1: you know, you might adjust your throw differently. Now somebody
Speaker 1: who has more speed, you think it's a defensive back
Speaker 1: as opposed to a linebacker. Right, I understand it. It
Speaker 1: does sound a little bit like the get off my
Speaker 1: long take. But I don't doubt Brady not with his
Speaker 1: success because he doesn't win necessarily with talent. He wins
Speaker 1: with being obsessed with small things, attention to detail. I'm
Speaker 1: sure he'll figure this out. But the complaints once again
Speaker 1: showed just how he approaches the game and why he's
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. But you know, you still
Speaker 1: understand this with what he is revealed in Tampa. The
Speaker 1: fact that he had COVID, that he had a knee
Speaker 1: injury that needed surgery. We didn't know anything about that nothing.
Speaker 1: And it feels like he's Tom Brady unplugged. He is
Speaker 1: got some things to say and he's finally found the
Speaker 1: platform and the audience to say it too. Whereas in
Speaker 1: New England we never would have heard this. That comment
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady just had about he hates the Jersey
Speaker 1: number rule, that never would have happened in New England.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't have said anything about the knee, probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: say anything about COVID as well. But it just feels
Speaker 1: like with Bruce arians, Hey, I'm going to tell you
Speaker 1: what's on my mind, and I've earned that right to
Speaker 1: do it. What is the point spread with Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: in Dallas? Do we have a number right now? Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is giving eight man feels like a lot.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the Cowboys, and the Cowboys start
Speaker 1: out on the road. They've got Tampa Bay and then
Speaker 1: they've got the Chargers. Now they're underdogs in both of
Speaker 1: those places, and then they have three home games. You
Speaker 1: have the Eagles, you have the Giants, and you have
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. They should be favored in all three
Speaker 1: of those. Maybe you go three and two out of this,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's name doesn't come up as one of the
Speaker 1: first names on the hot seat this year. Jerry's always
Speaker 1: been too patient with his coaches. You know, you go
Speaker 1: back to Jason Garrett, he waited too long. But I
Speaker 1: think Jerry at his age doesn't have that same time
Speaker 1: frame or at least in his mind of hey, we
Speaker 1: can give Mike McCarthy a few years here. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Jerry is as patient as he was with
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett. Therefore, Mike McCarthy's name maybe not on the
Speaker 1: hot seat list, but it should be just because of
Speaker 1: the resources they put in the draft picks the time
Speaker 1: frame to win another Super Bowl, and he turns seventy
Speaker 1: nine next month. You know, that's the difference here. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like Bill Belichick. He doesn't rebuild, he wants to reload.
Speaker 1: You know, at his age, he plans on coming right
Speaker 1: back and having a championship team. And they spent money
Speaker 1: in the offseason. But with Mike McCarthy, do I put
Speaker 1: him in here with Matt Nagge in Chicago? No, But
Speaker 1: once Naggi goes to Justin Fields, it feels like he
Speaker 1: has a chance to extend or maybe lower the temperature
Speaker 1: on that hot seat. He has a chance to extend
Speaker 1: his stay in Chicago, staying with Andy Dalton. They're not
Speaker 1: a very good team. They're not a playoff team. That's
Speaker 1: when you have a coach who is in maybe the
Speaker 1: final year, and then you draft a rookie quarterback. Now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're like, oh, okay, we got
Speaker 1: to give him a chance with him, and that might
Speaker 1: extend Matt Naggie. If they win seven games this year,
Speaker 1: they go seven and ten, When does Justin Field's play?
Speaker 1: Does he show promise right away? And then do you go, well,
Speaker 1: we don't want to change coaches. And you know, when
Speaker 1: you have a young quarterback, you try not to change
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinators and you try not to change that
Speaker 1: head coach. Now, there are quarterbacks down through the years
Speaker 1: who have gone through that and they suffered as a result.
Speaker 1: Who's the coach, who's the offensive coordinator, what's the system?
Speaker 1: And I think that'll be interesting with him. Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: should be on the hot seat because he's really never
Speaker 1: done anything as a coach. He didn't have a winning
Speaker 1: record in college, and that's hard to do. But they
Speaker 1: went eight and eight and they got Kyler Murray, Larry
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald's not there your two big additions or guys who
Speaker 1: are injury prone, AJ Green and JJ Watt. You're in
Speaker 1: a really tough division, really tough and Cliff Kingsbury. Are
Speaker 1: we going to see magic? Yeah? Cliff Kingsbury was hired
Speaker 1: with that track record though, so it can't be counted
Speaker 1: against him. Now. It's not like all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they're going to be like, dang, this dude never won
Speaker 1: in college. Why'd we hire them? Well? No, but if
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this, I'll go, oh, yeah, but he
Speaker 1: always figures it out. You know. May they're okay right now,
Speaker 1: but hey, in college he always figured this out. He
Speaker 1: didn't figure it out. We had Patrick Mahomes, so he
Speaker 1: should be on the hot seat. And if they're you know,
Speaker 1: they win eight games again this year, that seat gets
Speaker 1: a little warmer there. So if you have Naggie and
Speaker 1: you have Cliff Kingsberry, I guess Vic Fangio in Denver.
Speaker 1: He's nondescript. He's a defensive minded coach, can't find their quarterback.
Speaker 1: Whoever goes into Denver. If they were able to get
Speaker 1: a quarterback, that's good. You could probably do some damage.
Speaker 1: Now you're in a tough division. But Denver does have
Speaker 1: a young nucleus, like a sneaky young nucleus. There can't
Speaker 1: find a quarterback, and you got one of the great
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the history of the game. He's running the team,
Speaker 1: Kami club. Aren't they all geared up to make a
Speaker 1: rod at Aaron Rodgers next year? That's why you can't
Speaker 1: carry in Denver. Like when people talk to Nashley about them, Oh,
Speaker 1: well Rodgers will be there next year. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: know if he has to say where he gets to go,
Speaker 1: or if let's say he decides that he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to play in Green Bay. What if he says, I
Speaker 1: want to play for Washington. Got a great young team,
Speaker 1: great defense there. They're a quarterback away from being a
Speaker 1: very good team. I don't know. Or did they say
Speaker 1: there's no way you're going to stay in the NFC,
Speaker 1: Which if i'm Green Bay, if I have to get
Speaker 1: rid of Aaron Rodgers, then I have to say, look,
Speaker 1: we can't let you be in the NFC. Yes, Ton
Speaker 1: does they front off us way in things like how
Speaker 1: tough the division is or they don't want to hear
Speaker 1: about that. As far as the Kingsbury, it's like, well
Speaker 1: we are I look at look how packed this divisions.
Speaker 1: We got to give him benefit of it down and
Speaker 1: give him a little more time than we normally would
Speaker 1: in a mediocre to No, I don't think you can
Speaker 1: do that, Cliff Kingsbury. Sorry, you're in the toughest division
Speaker 1: in football. Good luck. Yeah, Paul, it's kind of fascinating
Speaker 1: how he got this job his last three years at
Speaker 1: Texas Tech five and seven, six and seven, five and seven,
Speaker 1: then he gets a usc offensive coordinator job for about
Speaker 1: a half an hour, and then that makes him so
Speaker 1: hot that the Cardinals call him that's a wild upswing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's a quick trajectory. Is it based on looks?
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Does he look like a star head coach? Yes,
Speaker 1: I think think Sean McVay fallout and I'm I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'm kidding or not. It looks like a
Speaker 1: star head coach. Well, it's like Mike McCarthy never looked
Speaker 1: like a head coach, but he had results for a
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, Cliff Kingsbury's never no offense, has never
Speaker 1: had a winning season in college football. His first year
Speaker 1: in college football he had a winning season. Otherwise he
Speaker 1: was under five hundred. His coach, he was thirty five
Speaker 1: and forty eight at Texas Tech. Usually they get you fired. Yeah, McLoone,
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think there's another coaching tree, a different
Speaker 1: set of looks, like the Mike Holmgren tree, the non
Speaker 1: good looking coach said the owner is also like Andy
Speaker 1: Reid to Mike McCarthy, who maybe not be as nutritionally
Speaker 1: focused as you can win with those guys too, or
Speaker 1: the good looking guy that's the Charlie Weiss tree, you know,
Speaker 1: smart guy, Romeo Crenell, the Bill, the Bill Parcells coaching tree. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: it's actually like the worst division for Cliff Kingsbury to
Speaker 1: be in because aside from Pete Carroll, all the other
Speaker 1: coaches are young too. It's like, well, that young guy
Speaker 1: figured it out, why can't you. This program brought to
Speaker 1: you by Dollars Shaved Club up grade to a Dollar
Speaker 1: Shave Club six blade razor for a noticeably smooth shave
Speaker 1: thanks to their six precision cut stainless steel blades. Find
Speaker 1: your perfect shave wherever your shop in store, online, Dollar
Speaker 1: Shaveclub dot Com, Dollar Shaveclub dot Com. Yes, mcclumb hottest
Speaker 1: division of coaches. I've been trying to do the hot coach.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the guy at Green Bay is a
Speaker 1: number one seed you got on the floor McVeigh, Kingsbury.
Speaker 1: We know the names top to bottom. NFC West though,
Speaker 1: chuck full of hot coaches. Brian Flores got a great
Speaker 1: jaw line that people have been talking about. That Robert Salaz,
Speaker 1: great shape, great skull. Yeah, people still love you know that,
Speaker 1: that silver hair. And with Pete Carroll, you know that
Speaker 1: we were just saying Pete Carroll hot, older guy, no doubt,
Speaker 1: always chewing gum immediately Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, um.
Speaker 1: Well that Cincinnati Bengals. That young guy z Taylor, Zach Taylor.
Speaker 1: Nobody thinks Zach Taylor's could look at Oh he's like
Speaker 1: suburban dad hands what are you talking about? Zach Taylor
Speaker 1: looks like he's he's fourteen years old. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: how did that guy break out of the sophomore year
Speaker 1: of math class to go coach a team? Chargers coach
Speaker 1: Dayton Grand Brandon easy on the eyes, he's okay. I
Speaker 1: think he's Middletons. He's got Gruden, Fangio and Andy Reid.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, he's coming king that in that division.
Speaker 1: Fair kidding? Yeah. And then Arthur Smith, the new coach
Speaker 1: of Atlanta. He's got an old guy named but he's
Speaker 1: only thirty nine years old. Arthur Smith sounds like my
Speaker 1: my grandfather's best friend. Yeah, he looks like he's fifty nine,
Speaker 1: though he's always a looked older, like the words ye
Speaker 1: old should be in front of ye old. Arthur Smith, Artie.
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's an unknown. He can walk into this room
Speaker 1: right now and say hey, I'm Nick, and not a
Speaker 1: single person I'm Nick Sirianni and we'd still go, who
Speaker 1: were you? The Sopranos? Yeah, yeah, where it's Gruden the
Speaker 1: Old Dinner. He's fifty eight, he's not young anymore, but
Speaker 1: he's still kind of hot. No. I think he kind
Speaker 1: of aged out of that. The hair looks good. I
Speaker 1: think kind of let himself go a little bit. You know.
Speaker 1: I think on that Corona hot line he might have
Speaker 1: been having a few too many coronas well. You're a
Speaker 1: hot guy, barometer's way off. Yeah, you're you're spiraling out
Speaker 1: of control. I respect a legend. It's like making fun
Speaker 1: of Kirkurse. John Gruns still a good looking guy for
Speaker 1: fifty eight. His moss is not good. Die on this hill. Oh,
Speaker 1: Bruden's kind of let himself go a little bit. You know.
Speaker 1: It's a fellow dating alone. I'm a little disappointed. Yeah, yes, see,
Speaker 1: we might all have different tastes. Though that's true, we do.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't project up that on Paul. Yes, mc gruden
Speaker 1: and his owner Mark Davids are going to the same
Speaker 1: bar he's following. Way, don't lump them together. It's pretty close.
Speaker 1: It's pretty close. If I'm John Gruden and he's paying
Speaker 1: me ten million dollars a year, I'm gonna get a
Speaker 1: minivan and I'm gonna get my hair cut the same
Speaker 1: place he does, and I'm gonna go to Applebee's every
Speaker 1: Friday and sit at the bar. Absolutely, Yes, mclub Kevin Sefanski.
Speaker 1: Friend zone definitely, Oh you think so great, coach. But
Speaker 1: I mean, like, if he walks into a bar with
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and McMahon those guys, he's gonna be in the
Speaker 1: friend zone. Yeah. Actually, I don't really even remember what
Speaker 1: he looks like. He's one of those guys who could
Speaker 1: walk out to him. And then you have Belichick, who
Speaker 1: you got the the intelligence that that he comes in
Speaker 1: and you know he's very m he's distant, a little bit,
Speaker 1: a loof, a little bit. Yes, I would say, are
Speaker 1: we allowed to broach the topic of coaches girlfriends, like
Speaker 1: at our guest list today for example, Uh no, the subcoaches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like Belichick's girlfriend, who's very out front, is very pretty. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Nantucket magazine. Never forget the cover. Oh, just Belichick looks
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable with that photo shoot back in the wagon
Speaker 1: the air. Oh, and you know that she's like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, we're gonna be on the cover of Nantucket magazine.
Speaker 1: The body language is great too, because he's leaning while
Speaker 1: trying to hug He's like he's trying to be out
Speaker 1: of the picture while being in the picture with her
Speaker 1: big fake smile. Yeah, yeah, Paul, do you think that's
Speaker 1: one of those things where he's down in the basement
Speaker 1: watching film and the girlfriend says, hey, in about three months,
Speaker 1: we're doing a shoot for nantuckem Er and Nantucke magazine.
Speaker 1: And then that morning, she goes, remember what I asked
Speaker 1: you about three months ago? We all have to deal
Speaker 1: with talking Nan. Yeah. Actually this sort of makes sense
Speaker 1: with all of his press conference energy, because it's like
Speaker 1: when he gets home, it's like, oh, I got Nantucket Magazine,
Speaker 1: then the Blueberry Festival, and then I gotta go over
Speaker 1: to Tim and Jan's house. I went. By the time
Speaker 1: he gets in front of the media, he's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Guy. Really does he say we're I'm onto
Speaker 1: the Bloomberry Festival? Or you know when his girlfriend says, uh, Bill,
Speaker 1: can we can we talk about? Um? I'm onto uh
Speaker 1: Sally and John's barbecue. When he's out to like a
Speaker 1: couple of dinner he doesn't want to be at. He's like,
Speaker 1: we're onto the main course? Can you ask Belichick football questions?
Speaker 1: If you're with him and his girlfriend? I wonder, Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I could You're at like a
Speaker 1: cookout neighborhood? Yes, how's the line look this year? Coach?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't do It's he always got
Speaker 1: to be the guy that has a couple of cocktails
Speaker 1: and he's like, uh so, Bill, what's that time he
Speaker 1: talked to Tom Brady. Uh, it's been a while. Yes,
Speaker 1: don can he be non committal in its relationship like
Speaker 1: he always lists everybody? It's questionable. But here's some upcoming
Speaker 1: events that we need to attend. I'm questionable for all those.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'm coming to go with you
Speaker 1: with that. What does his girlfriend ask? Where she stands? Like?
Speaker 1: Is it week to week? That's probably questionable right now,
Speaker 1: she's with me, doun dountfabl uh. Let's take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll see when you come up with a pole question.
Speaker 1: Your first air GF one Q one your GF your
Speaker 1: girlfriend one? No worries, Yeah, your GF one. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: but but wait a minute, honey, you said that cam
Speaker 1: was you know QB one? Yeah, I'm onto Mack Jones, yes, pably.
Speaker 1: Nobody previews the NFL kicker. No they don't, No, they don't.

Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Mackenzie Milton will
Speaker 1: join us at the top of the hour of the
Speaker 1: Florida State quarterback, Chip Kelly, the UCLA Bruins head coach,
Speaker 1: and then the coach that never punts. Kevin Kelly was
Speaker 1: a legendary high school coach. Now he coaches at Presbyterian
Speaker 1: and their quarterback Juice just through for ten touchdowns on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and his philosophy is to never punt. So we'll talk
Speaker 1: to Kevin Kelly. It always helps when you put up
Speaker 1: eighty four points in your opener, but we'll talk to
Speaker 1: the coach. Coming up. NFL kicks off tomorrow. The college
Speaker 1: rankings Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, A and M and Clemson.
Speaker 1: UCLA was out of the top twenty five. Now they're
Speaker 1: in the top twenty. I think they're sixteenth, and you
Speaker 1: have a little bit of time. They don't have a
Speaker 1: game this week. I don't think they play for two weeks.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good thing or not,
Speaker 1: because you get two weeks of people saying nice things
Speaker 1: about you. But do you want to play that game
Speaker 1: right away? Stanford just lost and Stanford now has USC
Speaker 1: after a loss, I think you want to dive right
Speaker 1: back in after a win. Hey, go ahead, spend an
Speaker 1: extra week saying nice things about us MC club. And
Speaker 1: what's the pull question? Okay? I have one that hits
Speaker 1: a ton of NFL fan bases and storylines. Okay, including
Speaker 1: of course at Dallas Cowboys as mandatory. Okay, who do
Speaker 1: you like the most for a comeback player of the year?
Speaker 1: These are the Vegas odds. Dak Prescott is number one,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is number two, Christian McCaffrey three. Then you
Speaker 1: go defense, Nick Bosa, San Francisco, say Quon, and then
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Is there a guy who stands out? Well,
Speaker 1: I would take Carson Wentz because I probably get better
Speaker 1: odds there. Yeah, you would. He's plus nine hundred, ware
Speaker 1: is like Dak is plus two fifty. But um, okay,
Speaker 1: but he's got a foot injury, so how much you
Speaker 1: invest in him? But he's also got a shoulder or
Speaker 1: throwing issue. But It just feels like they have so
Speaker 1: many offensive weapons there. He's gonna put up good numbers.
Speaker 1: Are they gonna win ten games? Sure? I could see
Speaker 1: them winning ten games. Carson Wentz is the tricky one
Speaker 1: because that's a really good team and if he's back
Speaker 1: to being really good, then they're a super Bowl caliber
Speaker 1: Team's trying to have the other one. Say, Quan, are
Speaker 1: you excited? We haven't talked at all about him this offseason, man,
Speaker 1: but it's a running back and what do you expect
Speaker 1: out of him? It's tricky with Daniel Jones. Are they
Speaker 1: Are they more of a passing offense now than relying
Speaker 1: on sae Quon Barkley. I don't know if he's been
Speaker 1: cleared for the season opener. Nope, not officially yet. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pulling Saquon Barkley's rookie year. They used him perfectly. He
Speaker 1: ran the ball two hundred and sixty one times, not
Speaker 1: three hundred, but he caught ninety one passes. Yeah, now,
Speaker 1: ye know, not the short passes and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: but that's they really try to get him out that way. Yeah, mclub. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one more Joe Burrow. Uh doesn't feel fair to give
Speaker 1: him Comeback Player of the year. He played, it's seven
Speaker 1: games his rookie year. He still hasn't been there to
Speaker 1: come back yet. Yeah, I don't know what he's coming back.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's coming back from knee surgery. But he
Speaker 1: played seven games. He played well, Um, yeah, I probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't jump on Joe Burrow odds. I would say Dak
Speaker 1: because that offense is good. They're gonna put up big numbers.
Speaker 1: He does play for the Cowboys. You're gonna get extra
Speaker 1: attention there. But Carson Wentz would be the one that
Speaker 1: I would probably go. Let me take a flyer on
Speaker 1: those odds when it was a little lower. Jameis Winson,
Speaker 1: what's he coming back from? He didn't you know, he
Speaker 1: only played a couple of games last year. I guess
Speaker 1: the comeback can be benched. It doesn't have to be Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you gotta have an injury, I think so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a narrative award like Mackenzie Milton at Florida State
Speaker 1: that's coming back from an injury. He's probably already won
Speaker 1: the Comeback Player of the Year in college football? Can
Speaker 1: NFL give it to a college plan But we talked
Speaker 1: about this to start the show like that. Here it
Speaker 1: is against Notre Dame and he has one of these
Speaker 1: incredible moments, a Rudy like moment, and it made me
Speaker 1: think about and when we had Joe Montana on. This
Speaker 1: was eleven years ago. Is my question included in this
Speaker 1: seaton with Joe Montana? You speak at some point, but
Speaker 1: it's brief, okay, because I asked him if he was
Speaker 1: there when Rudy was there at Notre Dame. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a movie. You remember. Not all that's true? Well what
Speaker 1: wasn't true? Well, the crowd wasn't chanting, Nobody threw in
Speaker 1: their jerseys. You know, he did get into game, he
Speaker 1: get carried off the game, and really he we played
Speaker 1: back then they tried to play someone at the end
Speaker 1: that everyone, all the seniors could get into the last
Speaker 1: home game, so they the schedule kind of was set
Speaker 1: that way, and so he got in, he did get
Speaker 1: a sack, and then the guys just carried him off,
Speaker 1: kind of playing around. I won't say as a joke
Speaker 1: that's playing around. So but you know he did, you know,
Speaker 1: he worked his butt off shore and to get where
Speaker 1: he was and to do the things he did. Do
Speaker 1: you remember how this blew up because when Joe said it,
Speaker 1: we went to commercial break and I went, I don't
Speaker 1: know if Joe knows what he just did. Because people
Speaker 1: love that Rudy movie. Oh, that Rudy moment. And you know,
Speaker 1: here's Joe, mister Notre Dame that we didn't turn in
Speaker 1: our jerseys. We kind of made fun of him after
Speaker 1: the sack and hey worked real hard and we carried
Speaker 1: him off on our shoulders. Kind of a joke, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a joke. She got so upset. He's like Rudy is
Speaker 1: a documentary, so being so petty for I can't what
Speaker 1: the guy can't have him? Why that's to be all
Speaker 1: about him? No, I'm the only great Notre Dame legend.
Speaker 1: It's all about me. I don't know what it's like
Speaker 1: to lose in the super Bowl and four and off. Okay,
Speaker 1: he can't share the stage with little Rudy Gee, which, yes, Paul,
Speaker 1: I wish we had the two minutes of audio after that,
Speaker 1: because see and I are like, Joe wasn't even there.
Speaker 1: He probably wasn't even there on the bench front row
Speaker 1: took it personally. I'm like, all right, so much, you know,
Speaker 1: did they have fun with Sean Aston. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: it was Rudy Off signs. Yes he was. Dad didn't
Speaker 1: even really work in a steel mill. He's like. They
Speaker 1: never went to the bar. Actually, they never played pool,
Speaker 1: They never took the bus out. He never stayed at
Speaker 1: the janitor's room. Vince Vaughn wasn't there at Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: There was no All Americans that year. They never did. Yes,
Speaker 1: mcglov Do you guys remember the Eagles movie with Mark
Speaker 1: Wahlberg called him vincible. The last play he somebody fumbles
Speaker 1: a punt, he picks it up and runs in for
Speaker 1: the game. When he touchdown, then they in the real
Speaker 1: world he did the next same thing, but the NFL
Speaker 1: rules you can advance him off punt, so they took
Speaker 1: the play back. But they never mentioned that in the movie.
Speaker 1: That is right up there with Rudy. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: know if like nationally, nobody cares about you know, invincible.
Speaker 1: A lot of people from Philadelphia care about that night.
Speaker 1: I was totally kidded. Yeah, of course, nobody, nobody ever
Speaker 1: mentioned that. That's the first time nationally that's ever been
Speaker 1: brought up. Like nobody naturally cares about anything in Philadelphia. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's not true Ben Simmons, well, only because he might
Speaker 1: be going elsewhere. He's basically an LA player in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Oh did you see where or did you hear where?
Speaker 1: Rashid Wallace, the former NBA player, was on a million
Speaker 1: dollars worth of game podcast I think this is barstool,
Speaker 1: and he talked about Lebron James. If Lebron James played
Speaker 1: in a different era, in my era, he probably probably
Speaker 1: would have done good because with his physical stature, with
Speaker 1: him being a little bit bigger than a majority of
Speaker 1: the rest, So he probably would have held his own.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he would have been as successful
Speaker 1: as he is now. Like now it's man, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like he's doing it, young boy doing it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, but it was a
Speaker 1: whole different era back then. Bro, So beast is soft.
Speaker 1: I just told you beasted. You know. I think I
Speaker 1: think he would have held his own. I can't necessarily
Speaker 1: say he would have been a beast, but I think
Speaker 1: he would have held his own. Okay, you know what
Speaker 1: this is. This is the Paul Pierce school of Hey,
Speaker 1: Lebron was better than me, and you know, let me
Speaker 1: let me be critical him. I didn't like him for
Speaker 1: whatever reason. Paul Pierce doesn't like Lebron. James. Rashid Wallace
Speaker 1: wasn't Rashid Wallace on the Pistons team that Lebron scored
Speaker 1: forty eight against in a playoff game. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he was on the team where Lebron scored twenty
Speaker 1: five consecutive points. It feels like um little sour grapes
Speaker 1: there on Rashid Wallace's part, And even Paul Pierce, Yes,
Speaker 1: Seaton wouldn't Rashid Wallace and Lebron in the league together
Speaker 1: for like ten years? What do you mean my day
Speaker 1: by area? You guys played game for ten years. She'd
Speaker 1: retired eight years ago. He played in the in the
Speaker 1: late nineties, and it's not like he's from the eighties.
Speaker 1: Didn't play with alex English. Okay, So Lebron back in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven scored twenty five consecutive points beating
Speaker 1: the Pistons Game five of the Eastern Conference Finals. He
Speaker 1: scored Cleveland's twenty five. He scored all twenty five, including
Speaker 1: twenty nine of the teams last thirty. During a final
Speaker 1: sixteen minute stretch, he had the game winning layup with
Speaker 1: two seconds to go in Overton. He finished with forty
Speaker 1: eight points eighteen to thirty three from the field, nine rebounds,
Speaker 1: seven assists and two steals. What the hell is Rashid
Speaker 1: Wallace talked, what's he smoking? Because Lebron Well, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: ask that Lebron dominated. It's like Paul Pierce can't give
Speaker 1: Lebron his due for whatever reason, he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: give him his due, and that became his kind of
Speaker 1: thing on the Mothership. Did you see where Paul Pierce
Speaker 1: finally came out and he was talking about his days
Speaker 1: at that ESPN and Chris Mannix did a profile on
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce who was going into the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: and he said something about all we had to talk
Speaker 1: about Lebron James on every show. Yeah, and you're surprised
Speaker 1: at that. If you didn't like it, you could have quit.
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about Lebron or say it
Speaker 1: on the show. That would be good, that'd be good theater.
Speaker 1: But it feels like Paul Pierson and Rashid Wallace in
Speaker 1: the same company here of not saying anything nice about
Speaker 1: Lebron James. Yes time would Rashid's definition of a beast
Speaker 1: to beat scoring like sixty in a quarter. How do
Speaker 1: you become a beast? If that isn't beast like stats?
Speaker 1: That what he pulled up. I don't know why he says,
Speaker 1: you know, in our generation or when he played, they
Speaker 1: played at the same time. I think Lebron might have
Speaker 1: been a How old was he? Lebron was a rookie
Speaker 1: one oh two. That was Rashid Wallace's sixth year in
Speaker 1: the league. He's only six years older at NBA. Wise,
Speaker 1: what am I missing here? Back in my day? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like your day? What? Yes, He's not the only one
Speaker 1: to say Lebron wouldn't be great in those eighties nineties
Speaker 1: hard hitting leagues. But Lebron, it's fair to say, is
Speaker 1: the most physically fit wing player of all time. He's
Speaker 1: the biggest, strongest guy who plays outside. Other than maybe
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson, He's more Jack than Magic was. Lebron if
Speaker 1: he played in the eighties nineties would have played like
Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties. Lebron matches his zero, he takes charges,
Speaker 1: he's you know, sells charges, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: He would have done that height he's nobody did right.
Speaker 1: He would have been to the free throw line a lot,
Speaker 1: the physicality of the game. I mean, how would that
Speaker 1: have been a negative for Lebron James. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: he's six to nine, he's two fifty or two sixty
Speaker 1: because he worried about contact from Scottie Pippen. He weighs
Speaker 1: forty pounds more than Scottie Pippen does. It seems like
Speaker 1: an easy criticism. You're back in our day. Look, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm you know, one of the get off my long guys,
Speaker 1: because I can remember back in my day. But Lebron
Speaker 1: in any era is going to be unbelievable. And there
Speaker 1: are players who played back then if they played now,
Speaker 1: you know, is Magic different? Is he better? Is Larry better?
Speaker 1: What's Jordan like? Now? You know you can make those arguments.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the fun part of this. But for
Speaker 1: Rashid to make it seem like he played like fifty
Speaker 1: years ago and he played against Lebron James. And the
Speaker 1: fact that you got torched for forty eight, including twenty
Speaker 1: five consecutive points, I'd be a little frosty about that,
Speaker 1: but I don't think I could say it with a
Speaker 1: straight faith. Yeah, but now would you have done back
Speaker 1: in the Day probably put up forty eight on you, Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: you could also you could also look at the other way.
Speaker 1: If the bad boys had to play in this era
Speaker 1: where you know, they're calling everything and they're not letting
Speaker 1: you like, throw elbows and beat each other up, Like,
Speaker 1: wouldn't they miss a step? They wouldn't be quite as
Speaker 1: dominating if they weren't allowed to do all those intimidating
Speaker 1: things that they got away with. Oh, I think it's
Speaker 1: a great point. I mean, as Bill Lane Beer able
Speaker 1: to be Bill Lane Beer, now you know, does Rick
Speaker 1: mulhorne get to be an enforcer here? I mean, there
Speaker 1: are a lot of guys who wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: play in today's game, or they would have to truly
Speaker 1: adjust in today's game. Lebron could play in any era.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter any era. Do you see where Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant liked a tweet that talked about Kyrie Irving is
Speaker 1: the only thing Steph Curry does better than Kyrie Irving
Speaker 1: is shoot and kad of course like that because Kyrie's
Speaker 1: his guy. Yeah, I mean, Kyrie is a wonderful player.
Speaker 1: Shooting is important, Like, could you rather be Steph Curry
Speaker 1: or Kyrie Irving like I mean, I'd rather be I'd
Speaker 1: rather be the greatest shooter in the history of the
Speaker 1: sport and have a couple of championships MVP. I mean Kyrie,
Speaker 1: I think will always go what could have been? What
Speaker 1: should have been? Because he teases you with this unbelievable ability.
Speaker 1: But the fact that Kad liked the tweet and had
Speaker 1: Kyrie and Steph Curry in there, I found it. I
Speaker 1: found it entertaining. All right, let me let me take
Speaker 1: a break here. We'll come back. Phone call Settle on

Speaker 1: forty nine ers quarterbacking situation. To have that for you

Speaker 1: Alonzo trails this one in the air deep till let
Speaker 1: center failed. This one's gonna go and it's gone a
Speaker 1: home run. There's number one hundred in the career of
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo and has taken up only three hundred forty
Speaker 1: seven Major League games to hit a hundred homers. He
Speaker 1: is the second fastest in major League history to get there,
Speaker 1: and in the same ballpark that Alonso hit his first,
Speaker 1: He's hit his one hundred and the Mets take a
Speaker 1: twn up in league. Courtesy of w f AN Mets
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Pete alonzo one hundred home run mark second
Speaker 1: fastest in major League history. The only player to get
Speaker 1: there faster Ryan Howard of the Phillies. He needed about
Speaker 1: twenty two less games. There, you got the list of
Speaker 1: those guys quickest to one under their polling. By the way,
Speaker 1: our play the day brought you my Dollars Shave Club.
Speaker 1: You can pick up that Dollar Shave Club six played
Speaker 1: Razor noticeably smooth shave thanks to their six precision cut
Speaker 1: stainless steel blades. Dollars Shave Club dot com yest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a buttet of Ryan Howard, Gary Sanchez three hundred
Speaker 1: fifty five games, Aaron Judge three seventy one, then the
Speaker 1: old days, Ralph Kiner three hundred and seventy six, Ronald
Speaker 1: the Kuna Junior three hundred and seventy eight games. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of modern guys. Mark McGuire did it in
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety three games. Okay. Jimmy Garoppolo listed
Speaker 1: as the starter on the Niners initial regular season depth chart.
Speaker 1: According to Mike Florial, the Niners released their Week one
Speaker 1: depth chart, and they have Jimmy Garoppolo's to start. Um Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Jonestmin gloving. It also
Speaker 1: says in here trade layers, a rookie will get a
Speaker 1: package of plays. How do you feel about that sort
Speaker 1: of package of plays? Saying where the other QB comes
Speaker 1: in a little bit. Yeah, I'm fine with it if
Speaker 1: I have a weapon, being able to use that weapon,
Speaker 1: also getting in there, get some reps, being in the huddle,
Speaker 1: sort of seeing what happens with Garoppolo. I mean, we
Speaker 1: know it's his job after this year, maybe even during
Speaker 1: this year, but sure, I mean, this is what Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan loves, Sean Payton, Sean McVay, like they live for
Speaker 1: this stuff. Like, Gay, you know what I can do?
Speaker 1: I can do this. I got this little wrinkle here
Speaker 1: that we can do. I love this stuff. Yeah, pulling,
Speaker 1: But isn't the danger or is it a good thing?
Speaker 1: Like let's say Jimmy Garoppolo plays average football and in
Speaker 1: those short stints of package of plays, Trey Lance plays, well,
Speaker 1: how do you hold him off? How does the fan
Speaker 1: base hold it off? It feels like everybody knows what's
Speaker 1: at stake here in San Francisco. Thank Jimmy Garoppolo knows,
Speaker 1: Trey Lancelos, Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch knows, and This feels
Speaker 1: like Garoppolo is auditioning for another job while Trey Lance
Speaker 1: is auditioning for Jimmy Garoppolo's job. What could go wrong?
Speaker 1: You know? You start to look at that NFC West
Speaker 1: and everybody's all in on the Rams. The Rams make
Speaker 1: me a little bit nervous because they do have top
Speaker 1: end talent, they're top heavy, they don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of depth there, and with an extra game, seventeen games now,
Speaker 1: the Niners could go from worse to first. Seattle I
Speaker 1: think is sneaky better. It's just I just never quite
Speaker 1: sure with Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson being on the
Speaker 1: same page, Like what what is their philosophy? What's their
Speaker 1: offensive philosophy? Because I never know how many times you
Speaker 1: tune into a Seahawks game and it's nine to seven
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter, and then you know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. Hey, Ross, can you help us out
Speaker 1: the first three quarters? That offensive game plan didn't work?
Speaker 1: And then Russ somehow makes some magic there, but that
Speaker 1: very very can you get three teams out of that division? Yea?
Speaker 1: And can you get home field? Even if you're the
Speaker 1: best team, you might have to go to Lambeau or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just trying to figure out how many teams in
Speaker 1: the NFC can actually go to the super Bowl, because
Speaker 1: you know, it's very small. It feels like AFC is stacked.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of really good teams,
Speaker 1: maybe some great teams Buffalo, Kansas City. But other than
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Green Bay, is there somebody else who's on
Speaker 1: that level right now where you go, they could go
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. I could see that happening. I
Speaker 1: think you have other teams that are that second layer,
Speaker 1: and that could be the Rams. That could be Seattle,
Speaker 1: it could be the Niners. I guess it could be Dallas.
Speaker 1: Who else is in the New Orleans Even Dallas feels
Speaker 1: like a long shot. Yeah, I know. But in that division,
Speaker 1: that's another thing you have to factor in is who
Speaker 1: are you playing? You in your division? How many wins
Speaker 1: can you count on? Green Bays fortunate because I think
Speaker 1: Minnesota could be a mess this year. You got Detroit
Speaker 1: and you got Chicago. Feel like they're in a state
Speaker 1: of flux and you could pick off some wins there.
Speaker 1: Whereas you look at the AFC North with Cleveland, you
Speaker 1: got Pittsburgh. It will still be a tough out and
Speaker 1: you got Baltimore in there, you got AFC West. Chargers
Speaker 1: could be a playoff team this year. Denver can be
Speaker 1: a competitive team. The Raiders will be the Raiders. They'll
Speaker 1: have those moments where you go, wow, the Raiders are back,
Speaker 1: and then you go, no, the Raiders aren't. NFC West
Speaker 1: very difficult. So those games in your division, how many
Speaker 1: of those can you pick off? So when you play
Speaker 1: outside of your conference, green base schedule outside of their
Speaker 1: division is pretty tough. Yeah, point Dan, You've liked the
Speaker 1: Chargers for about what I can remember, maybe two decades now.
Speaker 1: You've liked the Chargers. You've dipped your toe into picking
Speaker 1: the Chargers in the Super Bowl. It's like that franchise
Speaker 1: is always close and always talented, I know, And it's
Speaker 1: always whenever you read something on the Chargers, it's, well,
Speaker 1: if everybody stays healthy, well, yeah, if everybody stays healthy,
Speaker 1: But what happens when they don't stay healthy, which seems
Speaker 1: like every year with the Chargers. A couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: I thought they had the most talented, They had the
Speaker 1: most talent in the NFL. And you know, even with
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers there, I thought that is a good team
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Yeah, I'm the club they
Speaker 1: got kind of a raw deal because it remember they
Speaker 1: had to go to New England in that playoff game
Speaker 1: just because of the conference A division alignment. They were
Speaker 1: a tough division. It screwed them yes time. But they've
Speaker 1: had self inflicted wounds in recent years. All those games
Speaker 1: there was all those status were come brombarded with. Have
Speaker 1: they lost games at the very end and they lost
Speaker 1: by like eight points or last or at five points
Speaker 1: or lesten so many games that they should have pulled up,
Speaker 1: but they found a way to get hand off to
Speaker 1: the other team. Dan, and New York joins us this morning. Dan,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? So? I have a comment about
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick in the Muggle world. I saw him at
Speaker 1: a bagel shop in Jupiter, Florida one time, and he
Speaker 1: just wanted plain cream cheese. The manager at that story,
Speaker 1: we're really pushing flavored cream cheese on Bill Belichick, I
Speaker 1: mean really giving him the cell and Bill Belichick steady
Speaker 1: as can be. No, I'll just take the plane, just
Speaker 1: the plain cream cheese. Thank you, Thank you, Dan, playing
Speaker 1: cream cheese. Think that's a great report from Dan Belichick.
Speaker 1: Just plain cream cheese. Hey, you gotta try this flavors,
Speaker 1: just the plain cream cheese. But we got some locks
Speaker 1: to just plain cream cheese. Gus and Los Angeles. Hi, Gus,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Well, I mean, you know, I
Speaker 1: was coming in guns loaded, but I'm trying of brought
Speaker 1: up the plain cream cheese. Um. You know that was
Speaker 1: a big, big, big tape. Yeah, Um no, I'm calling
Speaker 1: because dude. Look, I remember the day when Joe Montana
Speaker 1: was the pettiest man in the world. All right, du
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? Dude? This
Speaker 1: still pisses me off. And I'm a usc trojan and
Speaker 1: it pisses me off. And he did that, Like, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? Dude? Seriously, and now you've got this
Speaker 1: walking technical foul rashid Walls trying to tell bed Lebron
Speaker 1: you know he's decent. He's decent. Look, bro, shut your mouth,
Speaker 1: grabbed your clipboard, Go do what Penny tells you to do.
Speaker 1: Go grab him some data. Rade. Thank you guys, we
Speaker 1: need Gus on first take with Steven Gus and having
Speaker 1: it no tang a walking technical foul rashid Walls. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know Lebron if you had played back uh in
Speaker 1: my days? He did. He did. He's like, I'm a
Speaker 1: USC fan and I can't stand what Joe Montana did.
Speaker 1: Seaton goes during the commercial break, he goes, why are
Speaker 1: we doing this? Why are we doing this? Why are
Speaker 1: we bringing this all back up? It had to do
Speaker 1: with Mackenzie Milton. So he joins us in ten minutes.
Speaker 1: And this is a rudy like a true rudy moment.
Speaker 1: Nearly lost his leg comes back after thirty four months.
Speaker 1: He's on the sidelines, starting quarterback, loses his helmet, he's
Speaker 1: in the game and next thing you know, he's leading
Speaker 1: him down for a touchdown. And probably if they'd gone
Speaker 1: to him earlier, they might have pulled off the upset
Speaker 1: against Notre Day. That's a real story. He'll talk about
Speaker 1: that comeback coming up. Chip Kelly, ucla Bruins head coach,
Speaker 1: will join us coming up next hour as well. And
Speaker 1: the college coach who never punts even when he was
Speaker 1: in high school, Kevin Kelly at Presbyterian. His quarterback just
Speaker 1: threw ten touchdowns over the weekend. One hour in the books,
Speaker 1: two more to go, settle on a poll question, Seaton
