Speaker 1: terms do apply. We are set with the World Cup
Speaker 1: for France and Argentina. That will be Sunday at ten
Speaker 1: in the morning. Great time slot. Yeah got that, and
Speaker 1: then you got pregame shows, and then you got football
Speaker 1: all afternoon long. But France the defending champs, the first
Speaker 1: defending champs to return to the finals since Brazil back
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two. I picked France to start,
Speaker 1: but then four years ago I picked France to start,
Speaker 1: and hello, I may not know anything about soccer, but
Speaker 1: I know something about soccer. Bop. Hey, you speak a
Speaker 1: little French, right we folks shanlee ruh. Every time you
Speaker 1: say that sounds German to me. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: Le bouche. Oh yeah, I love that guy that means
Speaker 1: shut your mouth. Yes, it does, at least I hope
Speaker 1: it does. Because when I took French in high school,
Speaker 1: we had two students who were from French Canada. They
Speaker 1: were from Quebec and they came down. They took French
Speaker 1: in high school, and of course they got a's, but
Speaker 1: we wanted to know what are some of the words
Speaker 1: that you can use or expressions you could use outside
Speaker 1: of the classroom, And then they told us a couple
Speaker 1: of those. It's cool. Yeah, they came in handy. But
Speaker 1: my French name in class was Pierre de Bonaire. Is
Speaker 1: that self? And yes, so I picked my name, and
Speaker 1: I picked Pierre de Bonnair. Yes, it's not that Patagolia. Well,
Speaker 1: missus good. Madame Bunn was my teacher and everybody got
Speaker 1: to pick their name, and mine was Pierre de Bonaire. Yes. Point,
Speaker 1: I once dated a French Canadian girl at Southerner University.
Speaker 1: Went back to visitor in Quebec, Montreal. Yeah, and we
Speaker 1: all went out to a movie one night. They took
Speaker 1: us to a movie theater. It was in French, so
Speaker 1: we saw aliens with Sigourney. We were in French. They're
Speaker 1: less threatening the bad guys in the all the words
Speaker 1: they're in French. Sigourney Weaver. An alien looked good in
Speaker 1: any language. Yes, absolutely, all right, Peter King will join us.
Speaker 1: Coming up. Are we going to have another play that's
Speaker 1: reviewable and that's Roughing the Passer. The owners met outside
Speaker 1: of Dallas yesterday. Peter will give us an update on that.
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee from Football Night in America will stop by
Speaker 1: as well tonight. The Niners and the Seahawks. Not sure
Speaker 1: if Brock Purdy is going to be able to play.
Speaker 1: But if I would have told you, let's say, two
Speaker 1: months ago, hey, you may not want to watch the
Speaker 1: Thursday night game because Brock Purdy may not be the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the forty nine ers. Well that's where
Speaker 1: we are because I don't know if Josh Johnson is
Speaker 1: going to start. But Brock Purdy has a rib injury
Speaker 1: and Gino Smith, Gino's got to make sure he continues
Speaker 1: to play at a pretty high level. Here, I still
Speaker 1: feel like Seattle is going to draft a quarterback. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a top five pick, you don't get
Speaker 1: up there very often. You could still keep Gino Smith,
Speaker 1: give him a two year deal, give him twenty million
Speaker 1: dollars a year, and then all of a sudden an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get a quarterback that's going to be your future.
Speaker 1: And you got a top five pick. You got Denver's
Speaker 1: pick right now that would be the number two overall pick. Ouch,
Speaker 1: sorry about that, Todd, Let's ride. Let's right when we
Speaker 1: talk about paying running backs. And I saw this. Todd
Speaker 1: McShay of the Mothership had his mock draft and he
Speaker 1: was looking at what certain teams are going to do
Speaker 1: and the upcoming draft, and he had the Eagles, who
Speaker 1: have right now the fifth overall pick, taking Jean Robinson
Speaker 1: out of Texas. Well, he's a great back, but do
Speaker 1: I want to take a running back that high? And
Speaker 1: I don't you look at Christian McCaffrey. That's a twelve
Speaker 1: million dollar cap hit, but he's got six total touchdowns,
Speaker 1: average over one hundred and ten yards total offense per
Speaker 1: game since he's gone to San Francisco and San Francisco
Speaker 1: six and one with Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, Price, I love it.
Speaker 1: I just don't want my running back to be getting
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty million dollars a year. And the Giants have
Speaker 1: this conundrum. Sae Quon Barclay's played, Well, do you want
Speaker 1: to pay him this next contract? Well, he's missed a
Speaker 1: lot of time due to injury, so it's different. Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry has played and taken a lot of hits, but
Speaker 1: they did extend him. Alvin Kamara is more of a
Speaker 1: hybrid back like Christian McCaffrey. If you can give me
Speaker 1: that and I can offset that with somebody else, who's
Speaker 1: going to be your primary running back Like the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: if you could have Afford Zeke and Tony Pollard, Pollards
Speaker 1: your hybrid. Zeke is going to be your power guy
Speaker 1: if you can afford to spend. But you're spending fifteen
Speaker 1: million dollars on Zeke, which I never would, but it
Speaker 1: may work out for them. With McCaffrey, he's different. There's
Speaker 1: a few of those running backs there. But what I
Speaker 1: take Bijean Robinson, as great as he is or was
Speaker 1: at Texas top five pick, I wouldn't. Yeah, pol almost
Speaker 1: like a flawed position financially, because you take someone in
Speaker 1: the top ten and they work out, let's say Sequon
Speaker 1: Barkley works out or Derek kind of works out. You
Speaker 1: got to pay them big money twice the top ten
Speaker 1: draft pick money, and then they're a new contract money,
Speaker 1: which is you know, let's say it's four years, fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars. That's a big chunk for a running back
Speaker 1: when you can get Look who's a kid for I
Speaker 1: can't say Isaiah Pacheco. Yeah, I bet she costs like
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand a year. Yeah, and he's doing fine. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You can find those running backs. You can find wide receivers,
Speaker 1: hard to find quarterbacks. Although you got Geno Smith versus
Speaker 1: Brock Purty tonight, all right, play of the day, staut
Speaker 1: of the day poll question, who's doing the honors today?
Speaker 1: Fritzie I got it? Okay, which would you rather a
Speaker 1: Polly special brock Purty starts tonight for the Niners or
Speaker 1: a big snow for the Dolphins Bills game Saturday night? Okay?
Speaker 1: Can I have both? You cannot one that you'd want
Speaker 1: a little more than the other. The choice involve Well,
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins and Bills will be a great
Speaker 1: game no matter what the weather is. Like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be disappointed if we don't have snow, because now it
Speaker 1: feels like that's been the storyline here is Mike McDaniel,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins head coach, on the impending weather. To me,
Speaker 1: you just decide if you're gonna let it factor in
Speaker 1: or not, and then you adjust as best you can. Um,
Speaker 1: we will be playing the game in the same elements
Speaker 1: and as a competitor, man for man for our football team.
Speaker 1: That that's the objective, is that you're uh, you know,
Speaker 1: are you gonna let the elements matter more to you
Speaker 1: than them? H It is the same field, the same elements,
Speaker 1: so U you just decide mentally, m how much you're
Speaker 1: gonna let it affect you. Okay, Well, hold on. If
Speaker 1: I'm playing for the Dolphins and my coach has that speech,
Speaker 1: I'm going let's get them. Oh all, coach, you're done?
Speaker 1: What what what do you say? It's about a mindset
Speaker 1: or something like that? Oh my goodness, come on, yeah, point.
Speaker 1: Did the Dolphins coach just give the weather bulletin barbitarial?
Speaker 1: He said it the weather's overrated. You don't want to
Speaker 1: give weather b whoa weather is going to take this personally? Hey, back,
Speaker 1: here is two a tongue of ioloa on the weather.
Speaker 1: For me, at least I can speak for myself that
Speaker 1: it's a mindset thing. Really. Um and if I'm too
Speaker 1: focused and worried about you know, is it too code? It?
Speaker 1: Can I can I really grab the ball? Can I not? Like? Then?
Speaker 1: You know, I would say I'm focused on the wrong things. Okay,
Speaker 1: could you give me an update on the weather forecast
Speaker 1: in Buffalo Saturday? Of course, Buffalo, New York Friday night,
Speaker 1: one to three inches expected, So there's the base coat
Speaker 1: during the day on Saturday, thirty two degrees another one
Speaker 1: to three inches. That's said. I checked some local reports
Speaker 1: that could change drastically because of how the jetstree goes
Speaker 1: through Buffalo. Keep an eye in the barometric pressure Saturday
Speaker 1: night twenty five degrees ten to fifteen mile hour win,
Speaker 1: which is big chance of snow sixty percent. Doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like a big snowstorm, but right now snow is expected
Speaker 1: for twenty four hours. I'd like a wintry mix, is
Speaker 1: what I would like. There By the way, in case
Speaker 1: you're wondering, the Niners are three and a half point
Speaker 1: favorites against the Seahawks tonight, the over under listed at
Speaker 1: forty three. That according to draft Kings, here's one who
Speaker 1: has the best chance, who has the best chance to
Speaker 1: score a touchdown at any time tonight best on. If
Speaker 1: you said Kenneth Walker Junior the third, you'd be correct.
Speaker 1: And then Christian McCaffrey is also in there as well.
Speaker 1: Not sure about brock Purty, but that might be a
Speaker 1: game time decision. All right, what else do we have, Fritzie,
Speaker 1: We've got. Being great a home and terrible on the
Speaker 1: road aka the Warriors is fairly common. No Biggie signs
Speaker 1: of a big problem. The Warriors are two and thirteen
Speaker 1: on the road this season. That matches their worst road
Speaker 1: start since nineteen ninety seven, when they also started out
Speaker 1: two and thirteen. I don't worry about the Golden State
Speaker 1: Warriors during the regular season. I do worry about the
Speaker 1: margin of these losses on the road when you get
Speaker 1: blown out, and I think it's been an average of
Speaker 1: fourteen at least fourteen points with all of these losses
Speaker 1: on the road, and I'm not sure what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. I don't know if Steve Kerr has been
Speaker 1: able to provide an explanation on this. Steph Curry banged
Speaker 1: up his non shooting shoulder last night, still had thirty
Speaker 1: eight points and a loss to the Pacers. I'm just
Speaker 1: waiting for see. You know, you got to tie this
Speaker 1: correctly because you have the older players and then you
Speaker 1: have the younger players. I'm still waiting for some of
Speaker 1: the younger players to step up and cominga wiseman. You know,
Speaker 1: I like Jordan Pool, But you know what is Draymond
Speaker 1: going to give you the rest of this season? Is
Speaker 1: Clay gonna be able to recapture the old Klay Thompson.
Speaker 1: Steph being healthy keeps you in the conversation, and you know,
Speaker 1: he's the basketball's version of Patrick Mahomes. He keeps you
Speaker 1: competitive there. But you've seen as great as Steph has
Speaker 1: been this year, it doesn't matter because they haven't won
Speaker 1: on the road. Yeah, Paul, I got last year's Golden
Speaker 1: State Warriors. They were twenty two and nineteen away on
Speaker 1: a season there three games above five hundred. There is
Speaker 1: no team in basketball I think last year the worst
Speaker 1: team in basketball on a road, because actually I think
Speaker 1: the Portland Trailblazers they were They were not good on
Speaker 1: the road. All right, any other poll question suggestions there?
Speaker 1: We have a couple more. Okay, should the NFL add
Speaker 1: roughing of a passer to instant replay? All right, Yes,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Peter King about this. I think roughing
Speaker 1: the passer calls are down dramatically. I just want them
Speaker 1: to be more consistent. That's the problem I have. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins had a defender who was called for roughing the passer,
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips roughing, But that was in the Chargers game
Speaker 1: and he I mean, he didn't lay Justin Herbert down,
Speaker 1: but he did do his best to avoid landing on
Speaker 1: him after the sack. And then they called that like
Speaker 1: which I you know you're watching it. You go, what
Speaker 1: are you seeing that I'm not seeing? Because to me,
Speaker 1: be more consistent with it. They're calling less, but be
Speaker 1: more consistent when you call it what else Todd? And
Speaker 1: one other one was when it comes to the World
Speaker 1: Cup final, I am team Mbope or team Mbope, however
Speaker 1: you want to say it, team messy or not interested
Speaker 1: at all. I would love to see Messi go out
Speaker 1: this way. Bope has already won the World Cup, and
Speaker 1: you know he's very young, making one hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: a year right now for Paris singers. But you know
Speaker 1: here's Messy. But is he thirty five? This is it?
Speaker 1: Go out this way? You never won this. This is
Speaker 1: where you cement goat status. You know Ronaldo had a
Speaker 1: horrible World Cup. Yeah, I guess they're part of me,
Speaker 1: even though I picked France to win it. That I
Speaker 1: would love to see Messi win the World Cup, all right?

Speaker 1: columnist NBC Sports dot Com set to join us, coming
Speaker 1: up here momentarily. We're not sure about Brock Purdy. Did
Speaker 1: we get any listing by the Niners? Is he gametime decision?
Speaker 1: Do we know if he's doubtful? Questionable? I saw questionable?
Speaker 1: Check where it is right now? Okay. Stat of the
Speaker 1: day brought to you as always, buy Penine America, the
Speaker 1: official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. We'll hear
Speaker 1: from the Commissioner Roger Goodell coming up. They had the
Speaker 1: owners meetings outside of Dallas yesterday. I saw some of
Speaker 1: the topics that were discussed, including the roughing the passer
Speaker 1: and how do you legislate that as we move forward? Yes, Polly,
Speaker 1: as of last night, brock party is questionable. Oblique okay,
Speaker 1: not optus, but oblique. Okay. Let's bring in Peter King,
Speaker 1: who joins us. Before I talked football, I know you
Speaker 1: knew Grant Wall, the great soccer writer, and also got
Speaker 1: an opportunity to spend time talking to his wife. Would
Speaker 1: you like to share some of that conversation. Yeah, sure, Dan,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yes. Selene Gounder, who is now Grant's widow,
Speaker 1: I think is you know when she was discussing with
Speaker 1: me Grant's death, I think it was a cross between
Speaker 1: trying to be clinical and also talking about someone who
Speaker 1: she obviously loved dearly, and it was hard at times
Speaker 1: for her. I did an interview with her that I
Speaker 1: posted as a podcast yesterday, but the one thing that
Speaker 1: really stood out to me is that she feels so
Speaker 1: incredibly grateful for everyone who has basically sung the praises
Speaker 1: of Grant Wall as the greatest soccer writer and the greatest,
Speaker 1: the most influential sports media person in the United States
Speaker 1: about this growing sport and Dan back in twenty ten
Speaker 1: when we both worked for Sports Illustrated, I went to
Speaker 1: cover the World Cup in South Africa, and Grant was
Speaker 1: basically my entree into this world of soccer. He took
Speaker 1: me everywhere. He introduced me to everybody. He said, Hey,
Speaker 1: go talk to Bob Bradley, the coach. He's a big
Speaker 1: Parcels guy. You know, you'll have something in common. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a New Jersey guy. And so it was all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And you know, some people might say, well, geez,
Speaker 1: this is Grant's giving you time with people who he
Speaker 1: cultivated and who he wanted to be able to work with.
Speaker 1: And I always thought that the reason he did that
Speaker 1: is not only for total unselfishness in class, but because
Speaker 1: he wanted to see the game grow in the United States.
Speaker 1: And so that's why he's introduced to meat everybody. He
Speaker 1: wants me to write about it to a non soccer crowd,
Speaker 1: you know. So he just was an unselfish guy who
Speaker 1: had so many people around the country who can say
Speaker 1: right now that He was a huge influence in their lives,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what Selene right now really appreciates
Speaker 1: about him. Yes, I think that people might know the
Speaker 1: name Grant Wall because he did the profile on Lebron
Speaker 1: James when Lebron was still in high school, did the
Speaker 1: cover story and the first one to really say America,
Speaker 1: here's the future in Lebron James and then but he
Speaker 1: really was known for being a soccer writer and help
Speaker 1: grow the sport immensely. And I hope there's some posthumous
Speaker 1: honor for him that his wife can share in, his
Speaker 1: widow can share in that's soccer related. I do too,
Speaker 1: and I think US Soccer, Hey, look, you know you
Speaker 1: heard Becky sowerbrun Abbey Wombach, Tyler Adams from this year's
Speaker 1: team really get very very emotional talking about Grant and
Speaker 1: so I'm sure that US Soccer is going to do something.
Speaker 1: They should do something. I hope a lot of people
Speaker 1: do something because his is a memory that we all
Speaker 1: should cherish. We're talking to Peter King. Football Morning in
Speaker 1: America columnists comes out every Monday morning, and a contributor
Speaker 1: to Football Night in America. NFL owners meetings, the review
Speaker 1: on roughing the passer. If I'm correct with the numbers
Speaker 1: that they haven't called it as often based off last year,
Speaker 1: but they've been inconsistent in how they're calling it. Is
Speaker 1: that a fair way to look at this topic. I
Speaker 1: think it's fair. I think the issue is that you
Speaker 1: basically because roughing the passer dan, if you think about it,
Speaker 1: is almost exclusively called by the referee. There's two of
Speaker 1: the seven officials, two of the seven game officials who
Speaker 1: call the game from the backfield. One is the umpire
Speaker 1: and he's mostly watching the offensive line, and the other
Speaker 1: is the referee, and he is charged on that specific
Speaker 1: play with watching if it's a pass play, watching the
Speaker 1: hits on the quarterback, and you have seventeen people, and
Speaker 1: you have seventeen even though the NFL tries so hard
Speaker 1: to make it an absolute equal standard, it's impossible. They're
Speaker 1: human beings. So you have one guy who's going to say, well,
Speaker 1: that looked like he was the quarterback was flung to
Speaker 1: the ground, and I'm going to call it, And another
Speaker 1: referee would say, hey, he's just throwing the guy to
Speaker 1: the ground. He was his momentum carried him. He didn't
Speaker 1: do that. Maliciously, and so that's the issue right now.
Speaker 1: And look, I'm all for the NFL trying to make
Speaker 1: the game as well officiated as possible. And Dan, what's
Speaker 1: the old cliche about you know, you're never going to
Speaker 1: be perfect, but if you seek perfection, you'll be the
Speaker 1: best that you can be. That's fine. But for everybody
Speaker 1: to want to have pass interference in roughing the passer
Speaker 1: called the same by seventeen crews, it's a pipe dream.
Speaker 1: It's never gonna happen. Are you against replay review for
Speaker 1: roughing the pastor? I mean, I'm sort of Dan, you know,
Speaker 1: I think replay ought to be used on any play
Speaker 1: that a coach wants to challenge. And you know that's
Speaker 1: a that's a belichick ism too. But the reason that
Speaker 1: I feel that way is that if you only have
Speaker 1: a certain amount of challenges in a game, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be judicious with them as a coach. So it's not
Speaker 1: gonna be oh my god, there's gonna be so many
Speaker 1: more stoppages. Coaches are gonna have to save a challenge
Speaker 1: or two for late in the games, so they're not
Speaker 1: gonna throw a flag on something that happens with ten
Speaker 1: minutes left in the first quarter most likely. So all
Speaker 1: I'm saying is I'm in favor of being able to
Speaker 1: challenge anything. But I mean, I think there are a
Speaker 1: lot more important things that can be challenged honestly then
Speaker 1: hits on quarterbacks. It's it's some thing that is not
Speaker 1: just going to be done in h in a uniform way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I worry that if we start to go a little
Speaker 1: bit closer to college. You have automatic objections here. Um,
Speaker 1: you know those review you know they do look at those.
Speaker 1: But still you're talking about automatic ejections. I don't know
Speaker 1: if the NFL gets to that point, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I can't see it. I can't see you know, Micah
Speaker 1: Parsons five minutes into a into a playoff game, driving uh,
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts into the ground and uh, you know, and
Speaker 1: Sean Hockeyley saying ejection. It's just it's too these games,
Speaker 1: even regular season games, they're too important I think to
Speaker 1: make Now. Look, it's one thing if if Micah Parsons
Speaker 1: rears back and slugs Jalen Hurts in the jaw with
Speaker 1: a punch, you should be ejected, but not for a
Speaker 1: football play that maybe is over the line. The NFL
Speaker 1: talked about the lowest average score margin for a season.
Speaker 1: There's closer games. This is the lowest average score margin
Speaker 1: for a season since nineteen thirty two. But scoring is down.
Speaker 1: How concerning do you think this is for the NFL
Speaker 1: and the competition Committee. I think it's a little bit
Speaker 1: too early to say we need to make such and
Speaker 1: such a rules change about this. And I know the
Speaker 1: NFL is really really into scoring, time of game, all
Speaker 1: those things. But look, I think the and I think
Speaker 1: the NFL will say we don't want the scoring to
Speaker 1: go down that much. But again, this is one year.
Speaker 1: It's fourteen weeks. And the one thing Dan that I
Speaker 1: think that I would say to sort of counter that
Speaker 1: that the reason why I don't really think it's that
Speaker 1: big a deal. I think it's just, you know, sort
Speaker 1: of the vagaries of a season. I don't you can't
Speaker 1: point to something and say, ha, that's the reason why
Speaker 1: scoring is down a little bit, not a lot. I
Speaker 1: would just look at some of the ratings that the
Speaker 1: NFL has gotten this year. Fans are not saying, oh boy,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, scoring is down three points a game.
Speaker 1: I'm not watching. They're not saying that. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: you want to be cognizant of this, and you want
Speaker 1: to see if there are things that you can do
Speaker 1: to make sure that this doesn't become you know, six
Speaker 1: points a game, eight points a game, ten points a game.
Speaker 1: I get it, but I think it's a little bit
Speaker 1: early to be very reactionary about that. If we had
Speaker 1: a friendly bet, is Daniel Snyder still owning the Commanders
Speaker 1: next year? My friendly bet would say no. But I
Speaker 1: have no inside information on that. Dan. I just I
Speaker 1: can't believe that the league will continue to count owt
Speaker 1: to Snyder and to allow and look, you can say
Speaker 1: whatever you want about what's fair what's unfair, But if
Speaker 1: I'm one of the thirty two owners in the league,
Speaker 1: and I read testimony before the Congress of the United
Speaker 1: States that Bruce Allen, who he can be Daniel Snyder's
Speaker 1: dread enemy right now, which he is, But there was
Speaker 1: a time when they were the closest, you know, president
Speaker 1: and CEO or I'm sorry, owner and CEO, president, whatever
Speaker 1: title Allen had, they as close as any two people
Speaker 1: in the league. And so for Bruce Allen to say
Speaker 1: that even Dan Snyder hinted at I'm gonna have Roger
Speaker 1: Goodell tailed so we can find out some dirt on him.
Speaker 1: How do you have somebody like that in your league?
Speaker 1: How do you do that? And how does Roger Goodell
Speaker 1: continually just pooh pooh this like it's no big deal.
Speaker 1: It's just I just think the NFL has given Snyder
Speaker 1: way too long a leash. But it be precedent, and
Speaker 1: the commissioner never wants this to get to a vote.
Speaker 1: You know, he probably would say to Daniel Snyder, Look,
Speaker 1: I don't want this to get to a vote. You
Speaker 1: need to sell the team, you know, Robert Sarver with
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns. Let's not put this to a vote.
Speaker 1: Let's just you make a smart decision, quote unquote, sell
Speaker 1: the team, make your money, and then move on from here.
Speaker 1: Let's not make this worse. And this is why the
Speaker 1: commissioner makes sixty million dollars a year. He's got to
Speaker 1: represent all of these owners, including the one that they
Speaker 1: may want out, but he still has to represent him
Speaker 1: as well. I get it, Dan, I really get it.
Speaker 1: I think the biggest issue, one of the biggest issues
Speaker 1: right now is that there's so many new owners and
Speaker 1: people who have come in in the last ten years
Speaker 1: who basically, you know, like the Denver Broncos owners, now
Speaker 1: you know the Walton Penner people. They basically they're just
Speaker 1: sitting back and trying to figure out what this league
Speaker 1: is and trying to figure out the business of football
Speaker 1: and all that. And I get that it's and that's important.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be knee jerk in this, but
Speaker 1: at some point you have to say, we just don't
Speaker 1: want to be in business with this guy anymore. And Dan,
Speaker 1: the other thing is, the NFL has spent so much
Speaker 1: time and energy dealing with a rogue owner. It reminds
Speaker 1: me in a little bit of a different way of
Speaker 1: Al Davis. You know, because even though Daniel Snyder is
Speaker 1: not one of these guys who who in a football
Speaker 1: sense is at war with the NFL, it's kind of
Speaker 1: in a in a business sense, he is okay, And
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say it war, you know,
Speaker 1: he just he has run a once proud franchise into
Speaker 1: the ground over the last quarter century. There's no arguing it.
Speaker 1: And and you know, I think it's long past time
Speaker 1: for somebody to get to a woman to say, listen,
Speaker 1: for the good of your family, for the good of
Speaker 1: the game, for the good of the fans of Metro Washington.
Speaker 1: You've got to sell this team. Pete. Good to talk
Speaker 1: to you is always. Thanks for your thoughts on Grant
Speaker 1: Wall and safe travels. Thanks a lot, Dan, take care
Speaker 1: of Peter King, Football Morning in America and contributor to
Speaker 1: a Football Night in America. Tom in North Carolina leads
Speaker 1: us off. Hi Tom, what's on your mind today? Good morning? Dan? Him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about when I looked at the
Speaker 1: schedule this weekend, the game of the weekend to watch
Speaker 1: is going to be the Lions versus the Jets, and
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game is going to be the Commanders
Speaker 1: versus the Giant. Ye. I don't know, thinking back in July,
Speaker 1: if we would think that was yeah, But that's what's
Speaker 1: great every year, Thank you Tom. Every year, every single year,
Speaker 1: for what the last thirty years, we've had four new teams,
Speaker 1: at least four new teams every year going into the
Speaker 1: playoffs that weren't in the playoffs the previous year. And
Speaker 1: the beauty is you don't know who those teams are.
Speaker 1: Rob in Orange County, Hi, Rob, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan?
Speaker 1: Can you hear me, Yes, I can run. Oh that's
Speaker 1: taxall and thank you for taking my call. So I
Speaker 1: do want to say this. I thought about a lot
Speaker 1: of things in life, and I want to say that
Speaker 1: your communication style you are with Dave Chappelle, Freddie Mercury,
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick, and I'm trying to put this foursome together
Speaker 1: as far as golf, but if I throw in Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan two, it's your communication style of excellent. And that's
Speaker 1: all I have to say is the way you communicate.
Speaker 1: Freddie was very dark. You were very light, and Chappelle
Speaker 1: is very light as well, and I put you in
Speaker 1: that class of that. Well, thank you, ron Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: If Mount Rushmore were you Dave Chappelle, Ronald Reagan and
Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury, we'd have a lot of people showing up
Speaker 1: to check it out. That's a very original call. Well,
Speaker 1: they'd probably go, I know the three, but who's that
Speaker 1: guy over there? That's some great company though. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: have you met any of those three? Dave Chappelle? Yes,
Speaker 1: what backstage? It's something right, I don't remember, but he's
Speaker 1: from the Dayton area or Yellowstone, I think yellow Springs.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yellow Springs up that Northern Dayton. But I
Speaker 1: did not meet Freddie Mercury and did not meet Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1: They were rarely at the same party. They Yes, we
Speaker 1: didn't socialize. Yeah, didn't social artive party. Here's Ronald Reagan
Speaker 1: and Freddie Mercury. Well there you go again. Uh, let's see.
Speaker 1: How about Adam in Indianapolis joints us on the program?
Speaker 1: Hi Adam, Hey, good morning fellows, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1: They had a had a quick, uh, a quick thing
Speaker 1: about the Detroit Lions. So I heard you last week.
Speaker 1: He called him dangerous, which is kind of rare air
Speaker 1: for the Lions to be in. Yeah, So I had
Speaker 1: a had a proposal. Is there a benchmark that's possible
Speaker 1: for the Lions to hit this year? They would green
Speaker 1: light DP authorizing some form of bite the Kneecaps T shirt.
Speaker 1: Oh oh so a T shirt idea? Well, I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could take biting kneecaps because
Speaker 1: that's Dan Campbell's I mean I would. I would need
Speaker 1: to reach out to coach and say, I mean we
Speaker 1: could come up with a T shirt there. Yeah, ple
Speaker 1: Lions have won two in a row. They've got at
Speaker 1: the Jets at the Panthers host the Bears at the Packers.
Speaker 1: That's tough, you know what, it's doable. They're gonna three
Speaker 1: and one. I think, yeah, I thought that they would
Speaker 1: be this good. I just you know when they started out,
Speaker 1: what were they won in six? Yeah? Yeah, they won
Speaker 1: the second game of the season that they were at
Speaker 1: one six. Yeah. But they're in every game now. It's
Speaker 1: usually five points or less. With their losses, you're not
Speaker 1: blowing them out. But this is where now everybody's focused
Speaker 1: on the Lions. They're like, oh, they're gonna play the Jets.
Speaker 1: Before it was like, uh no, no, all the lines,
Speaker 1: all the Lions gave them a pretty tough game. All
Speaker 1: the Lions almost beat them, and then they were favored
Speaker 1: again the Vikings. I think that's the first time people
Speaker 1: went Vikings or frauds and the Lions. They're real. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Poll As of right now, the Lions have the fourth
Speaker 1: pick of the draft from the Rams with the Stafford Dream,
Speaker 1: and they have their own pick, which is fifteen more
Speaker 1: likely to take a quarterback. The Lions or the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: both with top five picks, both have quarterbacks who have
Speaker 1: played well this year. Jared Goff has played well, Houston
Speaker 1: has the number one pick there and you know they're
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback. Yes, Bears in a three spot would
Speaker 1: either take someone else or trade down. Phillies five, Arizona sixth,
Speaker 1: Indie at seven. Isn't that third best quarterback off the board? Model, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could see that, but who's going to be left over?
Speaker 1: It still goes back to what I've always said when
Speaker 1: it comes to quarterbacks, when you say, well we got
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback, No, get the right quarterback, because
Speaker 1: if there's a run on quarterbacks, then you get these gms,
Speaker 1: these coaching staffs scour who've spent all this time looking
Speaker 1: at all of these quarterbacks, and then you start to panic.
Speaker 1: And if you go back to what year was that
Speaker 1: where there was the run on quarterbacks? Where it now?
Speaker 1: This has happened a couple of times, about like twelve
Speaker 1: years ago with the Christian Ponder Jake Locker year, Yes,
Speaker 1: and it felt like everybody had to have a quarterback,
Speaker 1: and I went, no, take the quarterback who works for you.
Speaker 1: The Bengals did this with Achilles smith Ye out of
Speaker 1: Oregon years ago. That was the McNabb draft, where you're going, no,
Speaker 1: you don't know, you don't have to do that, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: A few years ago. I think it's twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons had a really bad year. They had
Speaker 1: the fourth overall pick, and we said, we were discussing
Speaker 1: should they take a quarterback because they rarely have a
Speaker 1: top five pick. Yes, Zach Wilson went to Trey Lance
Speaker 1: went three. They didn't get one of those if Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence went one, so three quarterbacks were off the board.
Speaker 1: They went with Kyle Pitts. I was okay with that.
Speaker 1: He was high end. Yes, I just thought everybody has
Speaker 1: to have that tight end. Who can you know beat
Speaker 1: you can be a real weapon. They passed on Justin
Speaker 1: Fields and mac Jones. Yes, and I thought that they
Speaker 1: made the right choice. And you know, Pitch has had
Speaker 1: his moments there. Do you see where Marcus Mariota not
Speaker 1: starting Desmond Ritter is and Marcus Mariota left the team.
Speaker 1: Did he quit on the phone? It's unclear. It was
Speaker 1: an unexcused apps yes, a wall yes, huh. I initially
Speaker 1: thought he was just taking his ball and going home
Speaker 1: and being a malcontent. Okay, but it sounds like he's
Speaker 1: got some kind of injury rehab related thing, which at
Speaker 1: least is part of the reason why they're saying, you
Speaker 1: know what, go get yourself healthy since we're going in
Speaker 1: the other direction. Yes, those are called hurt feelings. That
Speaker 1: was the injury DNP feelings. Yeah, all right, let me
Speaker 1: take a break. Play of the day coming up next here.

Speaker 1: Robbie and Iowa, Hi Rob, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: ADP just had an idea for possible poll question. I
Speaker 1: know it's probably a little bit too late for putting
Speaker 1: a boat on the website, but best DP show impersonation
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two and here's my rundown. We've got
Speaker 1: Paulie with Andrew look eaten with coach O and Chris
Speaker 1: Berman see with Springsteen and a Valley Girl. And I'll
Speaker 1: give you some credit because your Chris Burman is so
Speaker 1: spot on along with the round here for the County Crows.
Speaker 1: Happy Holiday's boys, take care all right? Well, thank you Robbie,
Speaker 1: who does the best impersonation here where it's really good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: See his coach Odaron is like you could probably fool
Speaker 1: someone if he really like dialed it in. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: my Andrew luck is more of a parody. Yes, Fritzie's
Speaker 1: Valley Girl had a very big year. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: big year for the Valley Girl. Oh that was some funny,
Speaker 1: funny stuff. But you know the thing is it was real.
Speaker 1: The conversation, the dialogue was real that these girls had
Speaker 1: with Fritzie that night. It was painfully real. Yes, and
Speaker 1: they wather the impression I was trying to take them
Speaker 1: home with me, but you weren't. I'm a very flirtatious type,
Speaker 1: but that was not something I was looking to be
Speaker 1: the result of the evening. Going to get that on
Speaker 1: their record? You have sa you could just clip that
Speaker 1: and send it to the wife. That would be helpful.
Speaker 1: Oh you. The setup is though. We're at Big Dean's
Speaker 1: this bar, and there's a lot of show fans there.
Speaker 1: We put it out there so everyone knows the show,
Speaker 1: they know all the guys, they know Marvin, they own everybody.
Speaker 1: And Fritzie having to be sitting next to the one
Speaker 1: girl who was with her girlfriend who likes the show.
Speaker 1: She had no idea about sports, and nobody who any
Speaker 1: of us were. And then she did her thing. Oh
Speaker 1: she just kept not going to bed with you. They're
Speaker 1: not going to your hotel. You could buy me a
Speaker 1: drink if you want. That's where it stops. That girl
Speaker 1: has your picture on her shirts? Are you famous? Should
Speaker 1: I take a picture with you? This is weird. You
Speaker 1: could be my grandfather. What you have no hair? Atz
Speaker 1: doesn't let's not make personal. It looked like you used
Speaker 1: to work out like thirty years ago. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And these are actual comments from this girl. Why would
Speaker 1: you say such things? I don't know. It was one
Speaker 1: of those where you're senior going she's actually saying these
Speaker 1: things to you, getting a little too close. You're so old.
Speaker 1: No one wears it's so weird. Is that high karate
Speaker 1: you have on I'm gonna leave now. Don't you have
Speaker 1: to get up? Who talks for three hours straight? Uh?
Speaker 1: Dan in Pennsylvania? Hi? Dan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: But I really enjoy I really enjoy when Peter King
Speaker 1: comes and calls into the show. I wanted to touch
Speaker 1: upon your brief conversation with him about scoring being down
Speaker 1: in the NFL this season. So, for how tough it
Speaker 1: is to play defense in the NFL and with all
Speaker 1: the rules against them, scoring being down tells me that
Speaker 1: defenses are actually doing a great job across the league.
Speaker 1: Do you think that we can blame the lack of
Speaker 1: scoring a little bit on Thursday nights and shortened weeks
Speaker 1: for teams. Maybe this year is just an anomaly, but
Speaker 1: it seems pretty safe to say that NFL fans have
Speaker 1: been treated to Joseph That's an awful football on Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it's the matchup, the short turnaround. I agree,
Speaker 1: but we've had Thursday night football for quite some time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of people on Twitter, like NFL
Speaker 1: type people, and they speculate on scoring being down in
Speaker 1: the NFL on the lack of preseason preparation. There's never
Speaker 1: been a preseason where good players played less, and it
Speaker 1: seems like more and more the preseason is about the
Speaker 1: third stringers and the star players don't play a lot.
Speaker 1: So in September, your offenses, your defenses aren't that wrapped
Speaker 1: ramped up, or your star players aren't that rapped up.
Speaker 1: I think what you're finding is and we saw this
Speaker 1: this year in you know, different periods, different games of
Speaker 1: how defenses are trying to defend the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: everything's in front of you, or the Dolphins, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to make sure that you keep them out of
Speaker 1: the middle of the field where they do their damage.
Speaker 1: I you know, there's a heightened awareness to better defense.
