1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. The last three unbeaten teams in the NFL

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: this season were Steelers, Titans, Seahawks. All three of them

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: have balled out of the postseason final hour. Here best

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: words the weekend, we'll get to phone calls, more phone

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: calls coming up. We'll also talked to Brady Quinn, former

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback working for Fox Sports. Got a National title

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: game coming up tonight with Alabama and Ohio State APM

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: kickoff with what happened yesterday, I couldn't help it wonder

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: the difference the disparity between the ages of the quarterbacks

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: in the NFC and the AFC. The quarterbacks left in

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: the AFC, Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: nobody's over twenty five. In the NFC, Brady Breeze, Rogers,

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: and Jared Goff. Everybody but Golf is over the age

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: of thirty six. So if you're looking at forty three

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: for Brady, forty one for Breeze, thirty seven for Rogers,

17
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: golf is old at twenty six. In the AFC, Lamar's

18
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: twenty four, Bakers twenty five, Mahomes is twenty five, Josh

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Allen is twenty four. It's like out with the old,

20
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: end with the new. You know, you're seeing what could

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: be Drew Brees's last game if they would happen to lose.

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: We saw that with Ben Roethlisberger. It could be his

23
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: last game. I feel like Brady is going to play

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: one more season, and I don't know why he would

25
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: not want to play one more season. Breeze already has

26
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: a job at NBC waiting for him. But if he

27
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: beats Brady again and they go to the NFC title game,

28
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: I wonder if Drew Brees and Drew is as competitive

29
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: as anybody I have ever met, and I've been around

30
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: quite a few sports figures over the last forty years.

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: Drew is as competitive as any of them. I just

32
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: don't know if Drew's gonna go. You know what, I've

33
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: had a great career, Hall of Fame, didn't make it

34
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. I'm going to go into broadcasting.

35
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he does. If they beat

36
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Brady and the Buccaneers and they go to the NFC

37
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: Title Game, I don't know if I can see that

38
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: see it happening. Doesn't mean it's the right decision, but

39
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, you look at what's going

40
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: on with the Colts with Philip Rivers, Like Philip Rivers

41
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: played well, but if you're the Colts, at what point

42
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: do you say, maybe we need a younger quarterback in there,

43
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: Maybe we need somebody who's a dual thread in there.

44
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: Maybe we need to keep up with everybody else in

45
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, because they do have a great nucleus there.

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: I love the Colts, I love the roster, and I

47
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: thought they were better team in Buffalo. But I don't

48
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: know if you want to keep Philip Rivers around for

49
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: another season. I know Frank Reich said that he wanted to.

50
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: That's the right thing to say publicly. It's like the

51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: Steelers with Ben Roethlisberger. You say, hey, we'd like to

52
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: have him come back. Privately you get together with him

53
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, we need to move on.

54
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: But you're moving on to Mason Rudolph, probably because of

55
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: the salary cap issues in Pittsburgh, Like you're not moving

56
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: on where you go. We're gonna bring in Sam Darnold,

57
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring in Matthew Stafford, who are you bringing

58
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: in unless you say, well, we don't want to stunt

59
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: the growth of Mason Rudolph here, and we want him

60
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: to get a chance. We've already seen what he can

61
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: do Duck Devlin, We've seen what he can do with Ben.

62
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Do you want him to come back one more year?

63
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: He's going to cost you either way. You know it's

64
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: going to be a hit one way or another. But

65
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: do you want You're going to know in March what

66
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers are doing. I think they owe him fifteen

67
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: million dollars. But then it's going to take one quarterback

68
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: to get moved. Let's say Matt Ryan gets traded. Now,

69
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Atlanta's on the clock taking a

70
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round. Where is Matt Ryan going?

71
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Is Sam Darnold going to be on the move if

72
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: the Jets draft a quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. I still don't

73
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: think the Niners. Like if you said to Kyle Shanahan privately,

74
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: is Jimmy you're happy with Jimmy Garoppolo? I think he'd

75
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: say I'm happy, but I'd love to upgrade. I think

76
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: that that would be an honest answer from him. Don't

77
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: know it don't know Kyle Shanahan. I'm just guessing that

78
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: he would love to have that run pass option. I

79
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: think he'd like to have somebody who not his injury

80
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: prone is Jimmy Garoppolo. All it's going to take is

81
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: one one happens and then the dominoes fall. It's like

82
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: when quarterbacks get drafted. Usually it takes one quarterback getting drafted,

83
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: the second one, and then all of a sudden, you know,

84
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: teams go, oh, we'd better go get ours. And that

85
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: may be the case this offseason. But if I'm Pittsburgh,

86
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: what can I bring in? Who can I bring in?

87
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: Can I afford? Who's an upgrade? Like the Bears situation

88
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: with Mitchell Trubisky, All right, what are you gonna You're

89
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: a no man's land? Who are you bringing in? What

90
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: are they going to cost you? Do you franchise Mitchell Trubisky?

91
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Like the Bears made the playoffs, Like it's strange. It's

92
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: like they made the playoffs, but you feel like Bears

93
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: fans are going, oh God, I don't know, like what

94
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: are we doing moving forward? Washington went seven and nine,

95
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: and I would feel better as a Washington fan than

96
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: I would a Chicago fan today, because it feels like

97
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: Washington knows that they have a quarterbacking issue, whereas Chicago

98
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: they have a quarterbacking issue. I don't know what they

99
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: can do about it, Washington. You know, maybe you bring

100
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: in Cam Newton, reunite him with Ron Rivera. But you know,

101
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: there's this state of flux here. Look at these teams.

102
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore's got their quarterback, Brown's got their quarterback, Kansas City

103
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: has its quarterback, Buffalo has its quarterback. Bear in the playoffs,

104
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, Brady at forty three will have one more year. Breeze,

105
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: You're not sure. And even behind him, you know, Taysom

106
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: Hill to me, is not their starting quarterback. Aaron Rodgers

107
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: at thirty seven, they already drafted his successor. And then

108
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: you got Jared Goff, who people were wondering if John

109
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: Wolford gave them a better chance to beat Seattle. So

110
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: you're only as good as you've got to have that

111
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. And the Rams defense is so good they

112
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: were able to overcome maybe really the lack of any

113
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: kind of presence that Jared Goff had in that game

114
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: just enough, just enough. Go back to when the Ravens

115
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer. It was always

116
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: just enough. You know. They famously would say, just get

117
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: give us ten points and we'll win the game. And

118
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: they ran the football. They had some big time players there,

119
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: and you saw that with the Rams and hopefully Aaron

120
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Donald is healthy to play against Screen Bay. But they're

121
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: a fun team to watch. And it's not just Aaron

122
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: Donald or Jalen Ramsey. That defense played extremely well. And

123
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: I give Sean McVay a lot of credit a lot

124
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: of these guys who were offensive geniuses. You know, they

125
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: want the offense to be great, therefore you're the offensive genius.

126
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: Go back to Brian Billick. He was an offensive genius

127
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: and what do we know him for? One of the

128
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: great defenses of all time? The offensive genius? Like when

129
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots Bill Belichick defensive minded guy. What do we

130
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: think with the Patriots the offense in Tom Brady eight

131
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: seven seven three d P Show email address dpit, Dan

132
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com Twitter handle at dp's show Phil and

133
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Indiana leads us off this hour best and worst Phil, Hey, Dan,

134
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: always a pleasure. Really unfortunately two worst. I think Frank

135
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: Reich's coaching decisions cost the Cold say that he left

136
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: at least four points on the table. And then Dan,

137
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your thoughts. The second to me

138
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: is Mike Tomlin, Dan, I want to know, it seems

139
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: like this guy always seems to get a pass and

140
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: really doesn't get called out. But they were out coached Dan,

141
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: and I wanted to get your thoughts on that. Well.

142
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: I was really surprised that Cleveland came in with a

143
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: true identity and it felt like the Steelers weren't quite

144
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: sure who they were, you know, the first play and

145
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: then after that you're trying to regroup. Then it's twenty

146
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: eight to nothing, and even some of the calls by

147
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: Mike tom you know, the second half of the season

148
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: was not a good second half of the season for

149
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: Mike Toman. They had injuries. We always say that like

150
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: when you're trying to have you're gonna have some defense

151
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: for somebody. Well, they had a lot of injuries. Yeah,

152
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: I got it, Covid. I know that they got jockeyed

153
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: around a couple of times. I get it. But when

154
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: you barely beat the Ravens, when it felt like the

155
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: Ravens were just bringing people off the street during a

156
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: regular season game, that's when I started to really be

157
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: concerned about the Steelers and how good they were. And

158
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: then I realized they're not great. They're not very good.

159
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: They might be good and having home field advantage might

160
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: be enough to get them a playoff win, but I

161
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: had serious doubts. And that's why I felt better about Cleveland.

162
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: I at least knew who Cleveland was. Now they lose

163
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: their coaches and get ready for the game on the

164
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: road and end up putting up a performance like that.

165
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: But you see what's happening with the Texans. You know,

166
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: the Texans and Deshaun Watson, like, you got your franchise

167
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and you're not keeping your franchise quarterback happy, which

168
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was going to take that

169
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: much to keep him happy. You get rid of DeAndre

170
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Hopkins and you don't get him anything in return. All right,

171
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: we'll start there. You don't like what was going on

172
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: with the nepotism in the front office and who's in charge,

173
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: and it felt like there were a lot of people

174
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: in charge until nobody was in charge. You're head coach

175
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, who was your GM who made you know,

176
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: some of these decisions, and now you think you're bringing

177
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: in the GM that you want to bring in that

178
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: you're you hire a search firm, and the search firm,

179
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: which I I don't understand, like a search firm has

180
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: to tell you who to hire. Shouldn't you know, shouldn't

181
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: there be people in the organization who could say, you

182
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: know what, we should bring in this guy. Now, let's

183
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: spend a couple one hundred thousand dollars and we're going

184
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: to wait and then they do their due diligence and

185
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: then you go against them and you go nope. The

186
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: owner goes no. This is when the owner gets involved

187
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: and the owner goes, nope, We're not going to take

188
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: the guy that you said to bring in. We're not

189
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: even taking the second guy on the list that you

190
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: said to No, that's not what we're gonna do. So

191
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: now you have Deshaun Watson not returning phone calls, and

192
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: if you're the Texans, he has the no trade clause.

193
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: But if you say to him, where do you want

194
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: to go because we have to make sure we get

195
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: a king's ransom in return for you? Do you do that?

196
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Do you risk doing that? Do you do that without

197
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: a coach? And how less attractive is that if you

198
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: don't have Deshaun Watson there, and these are all these

199
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: decisions that are made. I just mentioned all these teams

200
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: in the NFC. These teams, there's like six teams that

201
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,599
Speaker 1: have quarterbacks who are thirty seven or older. You know,

202
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: throw in Philip Rivers, throw in Ben in there, Like

203
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: we're seeing a whole new wave of quarterback in the NFL.

204
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: And then all these quarterbacks coming in with Trevor Lawrence

205
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields and Trey Lance, Kyle Trash, Zach Wilson.

206
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can play, but they're coming

207
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be ready to play right away. You

208
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: got Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Like this is this is

209
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: the end of an era for a lot of us

210
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the NFL. Brady one more year, Breeze.

211
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: Probably not Philip Rivers, I'm guessing probably not. Ben. I'm

212
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: guessing probably not. You got these new quarterbacks here they

213
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: come and you have your quarterback wrapped up, Deshaun Watson.

214
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: But they're the Texans, and somehow they tend to screw

215
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: things up. Mo in Vermont joining us on the program. Hi, Mo,

216
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey? DP? Five, nine, two ten.

217
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: I want to give you my best and best of

218
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: the weekend. Back in March, I called in and thank

219
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: you in the dance for what you're doing, kind of

220
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: keeping the spirits up for both myself and my dad,

221
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: who's a regular listener. He owns a small restaurant. I

222
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: work in emergency medicine. You know, COVID's been tough. But

223
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: now to my best and best one of them, spending

224
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: my dad sixty first birthday with him. He's healthy, getting

225
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: to watch him football yesterday, and my other best for

226
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: the weekend is being lucky enough working in a hospital

227
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: to get my second COVID vaccine, feeling really lucky, and

228
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: also sending my thoughts out to your collar from earlier

229
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: today and his dad and hoping that he pulls through

230
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: any after effects. When when you got the shot the

231
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: first shot, after my first one, I was a little tired,

232
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: but honestly, they say after the second one you feel worse,

233
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: and I didn't. I had a little bit of a headache.

234
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: That was it. I had a regular weekend and more

235
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: than anything, just feeling happy and lucky. How readily available

236
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: is the vaccine? It was for us here in Vermont

237
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: you had to get it through a hospital system, but

238
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: for all of the workers and the ICUs and the

239
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: emergency department, which is where I work basically at this point,

240
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, from what I'm aware, if you if you

241
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: want the vaccine, you've been offered it or it's been

242
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: scheduled for you. So it's not easy to get for

243
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, the public, but hospital workers and first line workers.

244
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: It's becoming more and more readily available here. Thank you, Moe.

245
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: My best to your dad and those who have the

246
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to get the vaccine. I know a couple of

247
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: people in the medical community who have gotten it, and

248
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, they say it's like when you get a

249
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: technis shot and then your your arm is sore, but

250
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: you get, you know, the first one, then you get

251
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: the second one. And I don't know when it comes

252
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: around that we can get it, but hopefully we get

253
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: that opportunity here soon. I've been in lockdown pretty much

254
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: for eleven months here, not doing much of anything here

255
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons, but I just want to make sure

256
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: frontline workers and those in nursing homes, those are the

257
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: people who get it because those who are serving us,

258
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: helping us with us every day, and those who are

259
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: in more need of help than any of us, those

260
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: in nursing homes as well. But hopefully we get a

261
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: chance to I'd love to be able to try the vaccine.

262
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. When somebody says, hey, would

263
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: you get the vaccine? Yeah, yeah, I'd love to be

264
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: able to try it. Sure, because I know what it's

265
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: like to not have the vaccine, and that is I work,

266
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: I practice social distancing, and then I go home, and

267
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: then I come back to work the next day, and

268
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: then I go back home. That is pretty much. Yet,

269
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's life has changed in the

270
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: last year. I say, the five of us whose life

271
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: has changed the least in the past ten months through

272
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: the new the protocol Todd, Yeah, I'm pretty much doing

273
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: the same thing. I go to work, I go home,

274
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: and go to work, go home. That's you know. The

275
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: only thing I'll be different is, you know, like going

276
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: out to dinner on the weekend. With VAM, we had

277
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: avoided restaurants. We're not ready to do anything like that.

278
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I never understood that where you wear your mask,

279
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: you're really diligent. You wear your mask all the time,

280
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: and then you go to a restaurant and then you

281
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: take off your mask. And I love supporting the restaurants

282
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: around here, but we do take out. I just it's,

283
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's like now I can take off on

284
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: a mask. I don't know. I just I don't know

285
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: if you guys feel that way as well. It's there's

286
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: this this inert uncertainty where you're going. Okay, I guess

287
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be hard to eat this meal with

288
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: my molescone. Yeah. A few small grocery stores like markets

289
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: up in Vermont. I've noticed, you know, they couldn't have

290
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: because these places are small at general stores, so they

291
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: can't have tons of people. And they've been doing like pictures.

292
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: You send them pictures of what you want, order what

293
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: you want. You walk up to the front little window

294
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: and they have like a side window just to the building,

295
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: not like a dedicated you know, takeout area, but just

296
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: they open a window. And I go to this market

297
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: up of Rot and they just hand you a bag.

298
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: They leave it on the thing and you call in

299
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: your order. You don't touch anyone, you don't see anybody,

300
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: but you get all your groceries and stuff. I think

301
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: the thing I'm most excited about is the opportunity to

302
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: spend more time with a stended family on both sides.

303
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: Oh god, I'm not taking it. I had almost considered

304
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: not taking a vaccine for that reason. I did. I

305
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: told this to my brother and uh, he said, you know,

306
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,560

332
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: Only my neighbor Bob, when I left him alone in

333
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: my bar area with Johnny Walker. I think it was

334
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: blue label, and I didn't have it open, but it

335
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 1: was there and then I didn't realize, but he noticed

336
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: it and then he grabbed it. And then next thing

337
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: I know, I come down and Bob has done some

338
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: damage to the Johnny Walker blue What was he like

339
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,480

00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: that's that's he was drinking it. He was drinking it straight.

341
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: So and then my wife goes, well, don't put it

342
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: down if you don't want people to drink it. But

358
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: for him for the coming vaccine. Best and worst of

359
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: the weekend. The best was season five final episode of

360
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: Long Mayer. It's been a great show. That's because the

361
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks defenses are excuse me. The offense was just

362
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: the worst of the weekend. And a quick question, would

363
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: you trade Russell Wilson to the Jets for the number

364
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: two pick to get just the field? Calm down, Bob,

365
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: you had me for a while, but no, not trading

366
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson Junior. The third I started watching Halt and

367
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: Catch Fire. Seton had been talking about it, so I

368
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: eased into I don't like period pieces, and it's like

369
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: Computer World in the early nineties, I think, or something

370
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: like the eight eighties. Okay, so I'm I think three

371
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: and a half four episodes in. That's pretty good for you. Yeah,

372
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold on here.

373
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a little bit more room. Yeah, mcloven,

374
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: did you finish Cobra Kai? Oh yeah, oh yeah, last

375
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: episode you weren't fired up, right, yeah? Oh yeah, oh yeah.

376
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: There'll be a season four. Yeah. Yeah. I spot its

377
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: wheels a little bit in Okinawa. Yeah, and then Vietnam

378
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: like there were flashbacks and I went, okay, yeah, Paul,

379
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm two episodes into the undoing with Hugh Grant and

380
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman and I'm trying to fight off spoilers, mostly

381
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: from mcloven because he was talking about a couple of

382
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Yeah, I'm not gonna spoil it, but you

383
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: will do what you're doing now because I did it

384
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: and Seaton did it, and that is trying to figure

385
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: out did he do it? Should I he didn't do it?

386
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: Would you going to write down my prediction for the results?

387
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 1: You want to do it right now? Yeah? And then

388
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: you know you can hold it all hold off until okay, okay,

389
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: we'll do that. Let me take a break. More phone

423
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: works for Fox Sports or college football analyst. How did

424
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: you celebrate the Cleveland Browns win last night? Brady? Well,

425
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: it's pretty late. I've got three little girls, so usually

426
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: we're exhausted by it, but I was excited about it.

427
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: I actually think my wife's smat at me this morning.

428
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: I kept her up, made sure she understood the historical

429
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: significance of the Browns winning that playoff game, and I've

430
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: been in the dog house ever since she woke up

431
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: this morning. Okay, but explain that to people, your former

432
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: first round pick. With this franchise, it feels like once

433
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: you're a Brown, you're always going to be a Cleveland

434
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: Brown the rest of your life, no matter if you

435
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: play for another team. Well, and part of it too

436
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: for me, is I grew up in a northwest suburb

437
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: of Columbus, and so I rooted for all the Cleveland

438
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: teams growing up, and so getting drafted there was a

439
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: dream come true. But even afterwards, you know, things didn't

440
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: work out the way I wanted to or wish they could. Have,

441
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: but I've still remained a fan of the team, and

442
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: obviously I can relate to that fan base. I think

443
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: the struggle when the team left and moved to Baltimore

444
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: and then came back for a lot of fans, you

445
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: know a lot of people in Cleveland, it's not the

446
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: same team as far as what left. And so now

447
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: we've finally gotten too a position where I feel like

448
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: from an organizational standpoint, they're at a different point. They

449
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: found a head coach that I know it's only one year,

450
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: but I think anyone would be it'd be hard to

451
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: argue that this team isn't heading in the right direction. Obviously,

452
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: Baker's playing some of his best football, and really the

453
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: team's playing inspired and that's just something that you know,

454
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: you didn't see consistently over the course of really the

455
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: last two decades. How do the Browns beat the Chiefs? Well,

456
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing you've got to do, especially

457
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: with an offense that can score the way they do,

458
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: is you've got to find a way of one playing

459
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: really good red zone defense. You gotta figure out what

460
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: you can't just give up the big play for a touchdown.

461
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: You got to go to that short and condensed portion

462
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: of the field and figure out a way of getting

463
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: off forcing field goals if you can do that, and

464
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: then on the other side, you know, I think you

465
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: can make the case that, yeah, you can try to

466
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: eat up the clock and win the time of possession.

467
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: We saw the Colts try to do that this past

468
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: week and versus the Bills, But in the end, it's

469
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: not gonna win because if the Bills have the ball last,

470
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up winning the football game or more

471
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: often than not be able to put up enough points

472
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: once they do find their rhythm. So I think you

473
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: almost have to look at what the Raiders did this

474
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: year when they beat the chief You've got to be

475
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: able to go toe for so blow for blow with them,

476
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: and you've gotta be able to stretch the field, run

477
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: the football, make all those big plays too, and not

478
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: be scared offensively to take some chances. So to me,

479
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: it just comes down to eliminated big plays, red zone defense,

480
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: and offensively, you know, taking some risks, taking some chances,

481
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: trying to throw all you can at the cancer Chiefs defense,

482
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: which has improved this year compared to what they were

483
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: last year. We'll talk about the national title game here

484
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: a moment. I'm curious because you've got Breeze and Brady,

485
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: and you've got Rogers, you got Roethlisberger. I don't know

486
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: if a team is more apt to make a decision

487
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: one year early than one year late when it comes

488
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: to these older quarterbacks, because everybody wants to have their

489
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes or Deshaun Watson or Josh Allen, Joe Burrow justin

490
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: Herbert Like, there's so many of these great talented young

491
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: players coming out that I don't know if I'm Indie

492
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: that I go, let me have Philip Rivers again or

493
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and let me have been Breeze in New Orleans.

494
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: Brady obviously will be back if he wants to be back.

495
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: But can you see that philosophy in the NFL? Well, yeah,

496
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: I could see the philosophy. I mean, I think from

497
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: an economical standpoint, especially as you're looking into next year,

498
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: not necessarily knowing what the cap is going to be.

499
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the floor we know is on one hundred

500
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: and seventy five million. It could be a little bit

501
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: higher than that. We'll have to wait and see. But

502
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: from an economical standpoint, you can understand why they maybe

503
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: want to get younger and cheaper, but there's a big

504
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: risk in that, right, I mean, is your fan base

505
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: going to be okay with having to go through a

506
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: rebuilding process potentially and being patient with that quarterback position.

507
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: I do think the one thing though, that you look

508
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: at now with quarterbacks coming into the league, and it

509
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: was pretty apparent that Tampa Bay Bucks Washington football team

510
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: game is the ability for a quarterback with mobility to

511
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: impact a game. I mean that is now becoming a

512
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: must for and requirement for any quarterback coming into the

513
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: NFL right now. Is the ability to keep the football

514
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: and run a pick up a few first downs and

515
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: challenge the defense to have to situationally at a minimum,

516
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: put someone out there who is responsible for them. And

517
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: we saw Taylor Hennike be able to kind of keep

518
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: with the washing And football team in that game in

519
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: part because of his athleticism. So when you're talking about

520
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: the Rivers, the Roethlisbergers, the Bradies, the Prize, none of

521
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: these are those are the older age drop back prototypical

522
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, drop back quarterbacks. You don't see that so

523
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: much anymore coming in the NFL. So I think if

524
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna make that change. Yes, part of it's economical,

525
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: but the other thing is a little bit schematic too,

526
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: with the type of players that are now coming into

527
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. He's Brady Quinn working for Fox Sports, their

528
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: college football analyst. Tonight's National title game will come down to, well,

529
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to whether or not Ohio State

530
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: can limit the amount of big plays that this Alabama

531
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: offense can create. And we saw that throughout the course

532
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: of the season, but in particular in the semifinal game

533
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: vers smile on the mater and none on the flip side.

534
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: I think Justin Fields has to have a similar game

535
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: to what he had in the semifinal game, which was

536
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: his best game as a college quarterback. So if he

537
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: can go toe for toe or again blow for blow

538
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier in the NFL games. But if

539
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: he can do that versus this Alabama offense, I think

540
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: they say and a chance. But the biggest question mark

541
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: right now, Dan is you know how big of an

542
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: impact COVID will have potentially on the d line and

543
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: how healthy Justin Fields is going to be with that

544
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: rib injury that he's dealing with. What is Alabama's weakness

545
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: to me, I think it's their defense, you know, I

546
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: think we saw glimpses of that this year, and you've

547
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: even heard their head coach Nick Saban admitted that this

548
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: is not you know, a game anymore that's dominated by

549
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, great defense being able to stop great offenses.

550
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, at times they can, and I think they've

551
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: even had to kind of adapt to uh, you know,

552
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: bend but don't break at times, you know, philosophy and

553
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: how they're playing defensively. I mean, Pat Surtan's going to

554
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: take away one wide receiver for Ohio State, but there's

555
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: plays to be made on the other side of the

556
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: field versus this secondary for Alabama, I don't think they

557
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: have you know, as good of an edge rusher either.

558
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: So to me, if you're looking at you know, the

559
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: biggest difference right now, I think for Obama it's it's

560
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: that their defense isn't what we're accustomed to seeing. And

561
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: maybe you want to say that's a product of their

562
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: offense being so explosive, but for me, I think it's

563
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: just more of the changing of times with college football.

564
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: The offense has the advantage of eventually the defense will adjust,

565
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: but we just haven't seen that of late which running

566
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: back has to have the bigger game. Nag Harris or

567
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: Tray Sermon. Tray sermon, I trace sermon just just because

568
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: I think you look at what again, not knowing the

569
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: injury to fields, but you look at how important it

570
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: is for the Io State offense to have balance. That

571
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: to me is crucial in this game because I do

572
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: think Sir Tan can take away Chris o'lave which basically

573
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: leaves Garret Wilson and some other targets too. But it's

574
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Gary Wilson to be able

575
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: to carry that. And Olavey missed the Big Ten championship

576
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: game versus Northwestern and how it fields playing that one.

577
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: So that's a concern for me. I mean, this Pat

578
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: sur Tan kid, he doesn't get enough credit. You know,

579
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one of the top prospects taking

580
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: the next year's draft. And talking to the Notre Dame

581
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff before the semifinal game, they're like, if we

582
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: throw it this kid, it's a mistake, okay, Like but

583
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: Ian Book made a mistake if they throw his way,

584
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: and they did once and it would have been interception

585
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: if Curtang got his foot in bounds, but he didn't.

586
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: So I think you've got to have that balance. You've

587
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: got to have the ability to run the football and

588
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: also to potentially give their defense a bit of a

589
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: break and not have to have them out on the

590
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: field all the time trying to cover. You know, the

591
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner in Smith and if Waddle plays, but

592
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: all the other playmakers they had with Naja Harris too

593
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Isn't it amazing that Waddle was considered

594
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: the better prospect coming into this season. Davante Smith wins

595
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: the Heisman. Yeah, I mean, and give him credit for

596
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: the way he steps up when when Waddle went down.

597
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: You know a lot of guys sometimes maybe fade in

598
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: that or they can't handle the fact that they're seeing

599
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: the best cornerback. They're seeing maybe more cloud coverage or

600
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: bracket coverage at times. Begin going back that semifinal game

601
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: versus Notre Dame, talking as some of the coaches with

602
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: that staff, you know, one of the things that was

603
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: mentioned to me was you don't realize how fast he

604
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: is until you get out there on the field, because

605
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: he's this smooth, long strider and you think you've got

606
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: a good angle on him and next thing you know,

607
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: he slides up the sidelines or he's running across the

608
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: field and you end up missing a tackle or you

609
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: end up not even be able to get a hand

610
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: on them. So that's gonna be the challenge for a

611
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: High State. And look, they've got talented wide receivers who

612
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: have speed, but they don't move the same way as

613
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: that slim repress they call him in DeVante Smith and

614
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: the way he kind of slides around and smoothly gets

615
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: yards after the catch. So you know, and that's the

616
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: thing for a High States defense. You know, Dan, when

617
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: you're watching the film from the Clemson game, I thought

618
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: they missed Tony Elliott a lot because there was times

619
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: when they had the ten or twenty yard range completion

620
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: all game long. Ohio State was willing to concede that.

621
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: But whether it was Brennan Street or a Dabo Sweeney,

622
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: they didn't want to adapt or change that game plan

623
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: to allow Trevor Lawrence just to pick them apart on

624
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: the sidelines to the outside. That kind of plays the

625
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: Mac Jones wheelhouse. And this is the worst past defense

626
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: we've ever seen in the National Championship game in the

627
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: college football playoff. Eric given them about two hundred and

628
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: eighty plus yards a game, So it's gonna be tough

629
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: for this Buckeye secondary to stop Alabama's passing attack. I

630
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: remind people a lot of times that Usain Bolt might

631
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: be the fastest man in the history of man kin,

632
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: but he didn't have top end speed for the first

633
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: sixty yards. For sixty meters, DeVante Smith. DeVante Smith would

634
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: probably beat Usain Bolt in a sixty yard dash, in

635
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, like the ability to get to a top

636
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: end speed, because Bolt, once he got to sixty, if

637
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: you weren't ahead of him, then you weren't going to

638
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: beat him. And I know that that's you know, Joey Galloway,

639
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: you know an Ohio stagger. There's certain guys who have

640
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: top end speed, like Tyree Hill, right, Tyreek Hill to me,

641
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: if he's with Usain Bolt would beat him for the

642
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: first sixty meters. He wouldn't beat him for a hundred,

643
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: but he beat him for sixty. There these receivers who

644
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: get you look at me like I'm crazy. You think

645
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: you just send you Satan Bult, who may be the

646
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: fastest human being in my lifetime. And I don't know,

647
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna go side with that, I understand what

648
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: you're saying. Though he's a taller, longer strider, you know

649
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: Waddle for example. One of the reasons why he's you know,

650
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: a better prospect if you will, because he gets zero

651
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: to one hundred. How about this, DeVante Smith is a

652
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: better receiver than you seen Bolt. Would you agree with

653
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: me on this? Yeah, but you've been around guys who

654
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: have great speed, but they're guys who have quick like

655
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: they get to their top gear quicker than the other

656
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: guy does. And Davonte Smith that's the difference, Like when

657
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: he gets it out on the side and you go, okay,

658
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: you got him, and then he has that next gear

659
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: that very few players have in all the sports. Well,

660
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm always you know, wondering, especially like

661
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: Sean Wade for example, who's the best cornerback at Ohio State.

662
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: And you didn't see them do this much in the

663
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: semifinal game, and they've kind of limited how much press

664
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: man to man coverage they play. But usually when you've

665
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: got a guy who's like a longer sider like you're

666
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: talking about, and doesn't get zero to one hundred, you know,

667
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: in a few steps. You'd like to get some hands

668
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: on him at the line of scrimmage, just for up

669
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: the timing and see if you can stop him before

670
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: you ever get started. Right, And you don't see that

671
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: quite as much. And again, go back to the semifinal game.

672
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Watch something that's eight. You'll see them playing eight ten

673
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: yards off and willing to concede some of those passes

674
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: in front of them as long as they don't give

675
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: up a big play. I don't know that that's a

676
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 1: recipe for success versus Alabama and DeVante Smith, because once

677
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: he gets going, it's not only the fact that he's

678
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: got that second gear. He's so smooth in and out

679
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: of his cuts. You know, when he wants to set

680
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: up a double move, he can really sell it because

681
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: of just the way he's able to cut while still

682
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: having that long stride that gate, but then get back

683
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: up the full speed or kicking in that second gear.

684
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: As you're talking about, did Ohio state off for your scholarship?

685
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: They did? Okay, Yeah, but why'd you pass? Oh jeez,

686
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: there's there's a number of reasons. You know. I thought

687
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and when Michigan's other school, I was looking

688
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: at you know, Notre Dame was the best fit for me.

689
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: One thing that always kind of lead it in the

690
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: back of my mind in looking at all three schools, was,

691
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, who was the best NFL quarterback to have

692
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: come from each school? And obviously Michigan's got a rich history,

693
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: arguably the greatest of all time, and Tom Brady and

694
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of others. Notre Dame you could throw

695
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: that into that category with Joe Montana and thisman and Meyern,

696
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: so many others Ohio State. You know, I would probably

697
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: say Arch Sleister. I mean, I'm not sure who else

698
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: you're throw into that category, But that was something that

699
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: was always going on in the back of my mind,

700
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: outside of the fact that, you know, it was a

701
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: smaller school academically at fit Moore. What I was looking

702
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: to get out of the education? Could you have taken

703
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: the heat though Brady coming from Columbus Ohio going to Michigan. Well,

704
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: bo Schembeckler asked me that question. I was with my

705
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: dad on a recruiting visit, and the first thing he said,

706
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: when I think it was one of me, Tom Herman,

707
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: was it was a linebacker coach at the time. He

708
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: was my error recruiter. He introduced my father and I

709
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: and he said that at least from Columbus, Ohio, and

710
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: he's looking to come into Michigan. And Bo Schembecker looks

711
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: at me and says, are you ready to go in

712
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: there and kick those Buckeyes ass? And my dad My

713
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: dad was done. He was like, you're going to Michigan.

714
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, let's hold on for a second.

715
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: So that was one of the core stories of moments

716
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: I got to share with my dad along those recruiting visits.

717
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: But Notre Dame gave you a nicer car. She ended

718
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: up at South Bend. I wish that was the case.

719
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: You know, you hear about that stuff all the time.

720
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: Did you were you offered? And let me will take

721
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: away any school names? Yeah, what was the best thing

722
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: you were offered? I wasn't. I wasn't offered anything. You know.

723
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that I look like the type of

724
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: a guy that you know and based on my family,

725
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, a hard working, middle class fan like I

726
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: don't know if they were walking into our household saying like, hey,

727
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,959
Speaker 1: what do you need? And plus like my parents would

728
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: have never accepted that you know I was. I was

729
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: someone who had a job throughout the course of my

730
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: time and Notre Dame. I worked at the CADIB Center

731
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: there on campus and the Office of News and Information

732
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: in the Golden Dome. Just to have a little extra

733
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: grocery money, gas money, and and just a little money

734
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: to get around. I used to take the lineman to

735
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: this Italian restaurant that and all you can eat buffet

736
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: on the south side of town, and I think it

737
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: was like eight bucks a pop. And we basically on

738
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: Thursday nights go watch football and see you can eat

739
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: the most chicken parm colors. Oh, they lost money on

740
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: you guys when you guys came in all you could

741
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: eat for eight dollars of pob. I was out eating

742
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Harris. You can ask Ryan Harris. He used to

743
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: call me a snake for basically waiting all day to

744
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: eat dinner and just to outeat him that night. Great

745
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: to talk to you, have fun tonight. We appreciate your

746
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: time as always. Brady, always a pleasure. Guys, have a

747
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: great day. That's Brady Quinn. Former Cleveland Brown's quarterback schem Beckler.

748
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: I we had him on the show. I met him

749
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: once but I only met him when I was introduced

750
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: to him, and that was yet I never got a

751
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: chance to talk to him. But I had bow on

752
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: with Bob Knight, and we surprised Coach Night because he

753
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: loved Boshem Beckler. And it was back in two thousand

754
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: and three and we had Coach Night on and we

755
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: got a hold of Boschem Beckler and wanted a surprise

756
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: Coach Night and they started. I just got out of

757
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: the way. I just wanted those guys to tell stories.

758
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: And Coach Night called back and said, I just want

759
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: to thank you. It's one of the greatest things and

760
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: that anybody's ever done for me. And then a year

761
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: later or a couple of years later, he's working for ESPM.

762
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,560

777
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: you have? Hey? Damn that start of the day really

778
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: stings best and worse start with worse. You know, the

779
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: Titans just didn't do it offensively. Defense did much better

780
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: than anticipated. The offense just couldn't get anything going. You

781
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: know that the defensive line just suffocated us. But my

782
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: best at least the Colts laws. So you know, the

783
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: weekend to wash than right, Thank you, Nate, Thank you.

784
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes you find solace and others other people's misery. Anybody

785
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: have Ohio State tonight? What's the line? By the way,

786
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: are we just talking straight up? Straight up? Paula Abduel?

787
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: Anybody got Ohio State? McLevin? No, I don't. Can I

788
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: ask you a question? Doesn't this feel a little like

789
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: the Cardale Jones Ohio State team? I was wondering if

790
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: if that. I really I don't know enough to make

791
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: that pick, but is there a possibility that they're gonna

792
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: roll like that? I've seen a reference too. I think

793
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: that's twenty fourteen with Ohio State that they blew out

794
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. Then they got

795
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: into the playoffs and nobody thought they just irved it

796
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: or earned it, and they ended up winning the national title.

797
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: You got to score a lot of points, and that's

798
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. You gotta have you know,

799
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: Sermon and Fields. I don't know how healthy Fields is,

800
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna guess you have to score at least

801
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: thirty five points to win this game, maybe forty, maybe

802
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: maybe more than that. Alabama doesn't have a great defense.

803
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: They got one great defensive player, But can you run

804
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: the ball? Can you keep Alabama's offense off the field?

805
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: If Tray Sermon is able to have a real impact here,

806
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: now I make Mac Jones press a little bit. You know.

807
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: Now you gotta start making plays. You gotta you gotta,

808
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: you know, you want to have them have a little

809
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: bit more anxiety there. But Ohio State nine point underdog?

810
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Polly? Yeah, nine pounderdog over

811
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: under seventy five points. Hm, you know the U and

812
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: I never bet under. The over under the Bears Saints

813
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: was one where I go, I don't know if anybody's

814
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: going to get to twenty points in this game. And

815
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: then you had not even the betting line. I'm just

816
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: talking about the over under. I don't know what it was.

817
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess he was probably forty five something like that,

818
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: but that one definitely screamed out under Todd would you learn?

819
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: On today's show, Brady Quinn thinks Alabama's weakness is their

820
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: defense at times not what we've been accustomed to seeing

821
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: in recent years. Mclovin, John and New Zealand said that

822
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: American football players can't tackle. He's right, Seaton. Don't take

823
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn to a buffet, Paulie. Brady Quinn almost went

824
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: to Michigan. What we learned brought to you by M Drive,

Speaker 1: more items we close out the show. It's LifeLock. In

833
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: a new year, that usually means one thing New Year's

834
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: resolutions that most of us probably will have a hard

835
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: time keeping. But here's one resolution that's easy to keep.

836
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: New will be glad you did get LifeLock Identity theft protection.

837
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: One out of every five Americans has been affected by

838
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: identity theft, and if you've ever lost your identity, it

839
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: takes a long time to get it back. It's a nightmare.

840
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats, like

841
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,799
