Speaker 1: Last night, the Nets snapped their eleven game losing streak,
Speaker 1: and the Nets were without Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, but they got the win over Sacramento. The
Speaker 1: Nets are right now the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 1: The way things are going, the Nets could continue to
Speaker 1: drop in the standings. Durant is rehabbing his sprain knee.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons still needs to get into game shape and
Speaker 1: build some chemistry, and Kyrie's vaccination status will allow him
Speaker 1: to play in just eight of Brooklyn's final twenty six games.
Speaker 1: You're not going to be climbing up the Eastern Conference standings.
Speaker 1: You know, when you start to look at your roster
Speaker 1: the Nets when the big three returns, then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're going to be a different team and
Speaker 1: they could do damage in the postseason. But you still
Speaker 1: have the Kyrie Irving issue. Does Ben Simmons have enough
Speaker 1: time to mesh with this team? I did love them
Speaker 1: getting Seth Curry. Seth Curry was big last night. The
Speaker 1: Nets talented roster could be looking at a trip to
Speaker 1: the play in tournament and who would have thought that
Speaker 1: when this season began. Pole question for hour two, how
Speaker 1: about the results from our one seat, and then we'll
Speaker 1: turn our attention to our two pole question from our
Speaker 1: one Kyler Murray is misbehaving, running away with it over
Speaker 1: half the vote, followed by miserable misunderstood only ten percent
Speaker 1: of the vote people not buying That didn't Cindy Crawford's
Speaker 1: son get a tattoo under his time under his eye
Speaker 1: that says misunderstood. Do you imagine. And he's a young kid,
Speaker 1: a good looking kid. He's a model. But I think
Speaker 1: Cindy Crawford, one of the more famous models, a supermodel,
Speaker 1: and I think her son had misunderstood under his eye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: handsome kid, Look, mom got a tattoo where? Oh? Under
Speaker 1: your eye? It's like, I don't understand why you would
Speaker 1: do that, exactly exactly. You never get me. I don't
Speaker 1: understand why you would do something that. You know. You
Speaker 1: think a guy who's a young kid, who's Cindy Crawford's son,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get understood under there, right, You wouldn't be
Speaker 1: understood right, Yeah, Paul. You think that kid's got a
Speaker 1: great life. His dad's a rich guy, his mom's rich
Speaker 1: and successful. But when he was like in fifth and
Speaker 1: sixth grade, Hey can I sleep over your house tonight?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna have a sleep every time? You know,
Speaker 1: being Cindy Crawford's son, all the local kids want to
Speaker 1: hang out of here. I'm missus Crawford. What are you
Speaker 1: having to cook out? I want to see your mom again.
Speaker 1: You guys got a pull this Crawford. I went on
Speaker 1: the internet and I googled your mom. Tad you needed
Speaker 1: some help with homework. Gonna come over. And then Cindy's
Speaker 1: husband is Randy Gerber, who helped start the tequila brand
Speaker 1: with George Clooney. Constam egos. Good for him, Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: he's don't Okay, Randy finally got a got a break
Speaker 1: in life, got a break in life. Okay, our two
Speaker 1: pole question, then I'll give you my information on Sean mcvagh.
Speaker 1: Our two pole question. We're going with this one from PAULI.
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is going to the Hall of Fame and
Speaker 1: should go. It's going to the Hall of Fame, but
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to call it yet. If you said
Speaker 1: I had to decide today, I think he's going to
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, but I'm not ready to call
Speaker 1: it yet. Well, you know, he's got a couple more years,
Speaker 1: and if he would add another Super Bowl, then I
Speaker 1: think it would be a slam dunk. And yes, I
Speaker 1: understand this when you say, Matthew Stafford, has he ever
Speaker 1: been the best quarterback? No MVP, no Ben do how
Speaker 1: many All pros, not Pro Bowls? How many All pros
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw for sixty seventy thousand yards? Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is gonna cough negative. I'm just rating stats. Matthew
Speaker 1: Stafford has made one Pro Bowl in twelve It's impossible
Speaker 1: to make one Pro Bowl thirteen years. One Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: He has never led the league in any category of
Speaker 1: Step Jones has as many Pro Bowl appearances as Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: Mitch Chubisky has as many. Bens Young has more Ben
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Okay, he has never led a league in
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. He has never led a league in yardage.
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, he has never led a league
Speaker 1: in completion percentage. He has led a league in one
Speaker 1: category in his career interceptions this season. So here's my question.
Speaker 1: If somehow, on the last play of the game, remember
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows about to fall down, Jamar Chase got loose.
Speaker 1: If Joe Burrow hits Jamar Chase for the game winning touchdown,
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is not being discussed as a Hall of Famer. Correct? Yes?
Speaker 1: So is it that tenuous? Yes? Fascinating right? Yes. If
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan beat Tom Brady in the year he won
Speaker 1: the MVP, he's in now you might have doubt even
Speaker 1: though he was an MVP. I think Matt Ryan's going
Speaker 1: to be a Hall of Famer. I think Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: is going to get in, But I'm far more lenient
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Hall of Fame than the voters. Yeah. Point.
Speaker 1: In comparison to Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan has been a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowler four times, an All Pro once, and an
Speaker 1: MVP once. We have Eric Weddle coming up. Can you
Speaker 1: check his career because I started to wonder, is Eric
Speaker 1: Weddlele a Hall of Famer? I think he played like
Speaker 1: fifteen years and he might have been All Pro quite
Speaker 1: a few, maybe six times, so I thought he had
Speaker 1: that any All pros, not Pro Bowls. All pros, Yeah,
Speaker 1: point Daniel right. Six Pro Bowls for Eric Weddle, two
Speaker 1: All Pros. Eric Weddle he led the league in interceptions
Speaker 1: one season with the Chargers. He did go to Baltimore
Speaker 1: during the back half of his career and kind of
Speaker 1: got mixed in with all the talent there. But he
Speaker 1: has a six Pro Bowls. He didn't win a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl with Baltimore, did he He did not? Okay, but
Speaker 1: he spent the lions share of his career with the
Speaker 1: Chargers and didn't give as much national attention yes, he
Speaker 1: quick sidetop Okay from our one twenty eight minutes ago,
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald put on his Instagram story just the words
Speaker 1: world champion. That bothers you, Well, I think it bothers
Speaker 1: me more if I've upset Aaron Donald. Okay, that's not
Speaker 1: a dude to be like, hey, I said world champion. Yes.
Speaker 1: Seaton had a problem with Sean McVeagh during the game,
Speaker 1: say hey, this is this is for the World Championship
Speaker 1: instead of for the super Bowl, Like did he need
Speaker 1: to exaggerated to get his players excited? Like if you
Speaker 1: just said, hey, this for the super Bowl, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is for the World champions Oh in that case, oh okay,
Speaker 1: now I'm going to go out there. Just seems like
Speaker 1: funny timing that he had just put just those two words.
Speaker 1: There's no picture or anything. The timing of it with
Speaker 1: us bringing up World Championship right lines up that timeline
Speaker 1: right right? Congratulations, Yeah, congratulations here ring is still awesome.
Speaker 1: Not taking that away all right. I heard from the
Speaker 1: source this morning because I was curious about Sean McVeigh
Speaker 1: and sent me a note about twenty minutes ago. Been
Speaker 1: told by a couple of people who would be close
Speaker 1: enough to Sean. Maybe leverage, but there's enough interest on
Speaker 1: both sides for him to go to ESPN. So just
Speaker 1: something to file away. Interest on both sides. And he's
Speaker 1: thirty six years of age. Two Super bowls, got the
Speaker 1: win in one of them. I don't know he's getting married.
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you know he would you jump
Speaker 1: into Monday night football then all of a sudden, that's
Speaker 1: a job you can keep for a decade. You can
Speaker 1: always come out of the booth, as John Gruden did.
Speaker 1: But this is just from a source who knows people
Speaker 1: who are close. I'll give you the wording because I
Speaker 1: said my source reached out at nine oh five this morning,
Speaker 1: and I didn't see it till around nine thirty. McVeigh
Speaker 1: going to the mothership question Mark and I went, oh,
Speaker 1: really been told by a couple of people who would
Speaker 1: be close enough to him. Maybe a leverage move, but
Speaker 1: enough interest on both sides. Yeah. Sean McVay, the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl winning coach, makes eight point five million per season, reportedly,
Speaker 1: which is exactly half of what Tony Romo makes to
Speaker 1: call games. Think about that for a second. It's no
Speaker 1: longer a pay cut to go to the media and
Speaker 1: Sean McVay has total leverage today. Yes, and I would
Speaker 1: think this is a leverage move. But I don't know
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. I don't know if we've ever had him
Speaker 1: on the show. Yes, he dude's thirty six years old. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta walk away from the NFL after getting a rain.
Speaker 1: He could he could stack up ten more of them.
Speaker 1: You can go back. John Madden retired at forty I think,
Speaker 1: and plus you leave as the Super Bowl winning coach,
Speaker 1: you can put him in the booth. And I don't
Speaker 1: know how good he'd be as an analyst. I also
Speaker 1: wondered about Odell Beckham because at some point is a
Speaker 1: network or network's going to reach out to ob J
Speaker 1: and I would think being a in studio analyst, not
Speaker 1: a game analyst. But I think that that's a real possibility.
Speaker 1: I would want to see Odell Beckham. I don't want
Speaker 1: to necessarily hear him as much as take advantage of
Speaker 1: how he looks, the charisma that he has. But I
Speaker 1: could see where OBJ would be an in studio analyst
Speaker 1: as well. You know, people didn't think Randy Moss was
Speaker 1: going to be a good analyst, and he's entertaining Michael Irvin.
Speaker 1: You know they're guys who and normally we put coaches
Speaker 1: in the booth, you put quarterbacks in the booth. But
Speaker 1: as far as an analyst and a panel, Now, do
Speaker 1: you want to go to the mother's ship? Get a
Speaker 1: lot of run there, a lot of exposure there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Paul Sean McBey, I saw a couple articles comparing him
Speaker 1: to John Gruden when he left the sport. Gruden was
Speaker 1: forty eight years old when he left coaching to take
Speaker 1: the job at ESPN, twelve years older than McBey. A
Speaker 1: couple of phone calls in here and we spent a
Speaker 1: little time talking about Kyler Murray and somebody's got to
Speaker 1: tell him this goes along with the territory. You get scrutinized,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the scapegoat, you're gonna get blame. You're
Speaker 1: gonna get a whole lot of credit. You're gonna get
Speaker 1: a whole lot of money as well. Time to be
Speaker 1: a leader. You want to be a leader, now's when
Speaker 1: you show it. Hey, when when we're down, we didn't
Speaker 1: do well the second half of the season, we bowed out.
Speaker 1: It was disappointing. Be a leader, not Hey, I want
Speaker 1: out of here. Feels like that's a leverage play as well.
Speaker 1: Is everything going to be okay? If you give him,
Speaker 1: you know, forty five million dollars, you give him a
Speaker 1: Josh Allen kind of contract, I'd make him play this
Speaker 1: next season. How about we do some damage in the postseason. Now,
Speaker 1: He's made two Pro Bowls and he was Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year, and I do think he is a starting quarterback,
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback in the NFL. But you need an
Speaker 1: organization to be buying into what makes him great, his skills,
Speaker 1: and it feels like Arizona has done that. Paul in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Hi, Paul woulds on your mind today? Hey Dan,
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call first time, long time. See
Speaker 1: five two quick things for you. On the Kyler Murray story,
Speaker 1: this should not be a surprise to anybody if you
Speaker 1: go back to twenty fifteen when he was a first
Speaker 1: time starter at Texas A and M. He crumbled under
Speaker 1: the pressure. He couldn't beat out Kyle Allan. He threw
Speaker 1: a temper tantrum and transferred out. This story is just
Speaker 1: a replay of what anybody who's an A and M
Speaker 1: fan knew long long time ago and secondly, real quick.
Speaker 1: One of the things I love about the straighter Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: He's going to one of the best to a coach
Speaker 1: who's one of the best free throw shooters in the league,
Speaker 1: Steve Nash. If Steve can turn around this guy's free
Speaker 1: throw shooting, we'll see a complete turnaround in mid simmons career.
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call, all right, thank you, Paul.
Speaker 1: I agree. You know, it's all about confidence. You go
Speaker 1: to the line and you want to go to the line.
Speaker 1: I always wanted to go to the line. I wanted
Speaker 1: to get found. I knew I was going to make
Speaker 1: at least eight out of ten. I was confident. Ben
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to the line because he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to be embarrassed. There's certain players that and we
Speaker 1: saw this with Lonzo Ball even you know Lebron is
Speaker 1: not a good free throw shooter like you want to be.
Speaker 1: You want the ball, You want to go to the line.
Speaker 1: And if Steve can help him with form, if KD
Speaker 1: can help him a little bit there, you know, then
Speaker 1: maybe you have something. Maybe the ceiling is really high
Speaker 1: for Ben. I just want to know. If Ben wants
Speaker 1: to be great, he might just want to be a celebrity.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, we got a problem. Kevin and
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Hi, Kevin, what's on your mind? Hey? What's
Speaker 1: going on? Guys? I go, oh, so you got Brady
Speaker 1: and Stafford, you know, back to back, coming from different teams.
Speaker 1: I know, different spectrums of the win loss thing. But
Speaker 1: where does this put players and other gens Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Deshaun Foster. Now it becomes more
Speaker 1: appealing to salvage the future from where I'm saying as
Speaker 1: a Vikings fan, oh has changed two to three first rounders,
Speaker 1: and let's go get it. Got a bad connection there, keV.
Speaker 1: But you got Kirk Cousins. I think you're a Viking fan. Yes, point.
Speaker 1: I think he was trying to say, reading between the drops,
Speaker 1: that if I'm a Vikings fan, I move on and
Speaker 1: pursue a new quarterback like the Rams did. Don't stand
Speaker 1: pat with Jared Goff, don't stand pat with Alex Smith
Speaker 1: like what the Chiefs did. How about this? Tom Brady
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Super Bowl is where
Speaker 1: next year? Kyler Murray Arizona. No pressure, No, no pressure,
Speaker 1: it looks like the street's gonna end with thank you. Buzzkill.
Speaker 1: Gibbs in Virginia's back. Hi, Gibbs, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1: What's up? Dan O? You kind of took the wind
Speaker 1: out of my sales with that last Kyler Murley Murray comment.
Speaker 1: Gay in Arizona had a good take though, doing his best.
Speaker 1: Bill Polian on the air, shout out to seamen and
Speaker 1: the international kids are doing the cross country trip. I
Speaker 1: want to give Polly prop to given me the best
Speaker 1: when I was doing my cross country trip. I called
Speaker 1: in last year and Polly gave me the best barbecue
Speaker 1: spot in Kansas City. Slaps barbecue. Kudos to you, Polly.
Speaker 1: We hit it excellent. Thank you for all of that.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to call in and ask if y'all
Speaker 1: have been listening to mclovin show, and I'll answer that
Speaker 1: neither of I So thank you mclovin. Not exactly Atticus
Speaker 1: Finch here, but I wanted sort of a little bit
Speaker 1: of a legal question, uh this block Brian Flores situation. UM,
Speaker 1: I haven't been listening to y'all full content all the
Speaker 1: time recently, but like, where do you see that going?
Speaker 1: I don't think that the final ring was handled well,
Speaker 1: the fact that it's a class action suit and everything,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't. I don't know where it's going. Gibbs,
Speaker 1: thank you. Not a lawyer with this, but I wonder
Speaker 1: does the NFL want this, you know, to go to
Speaker 1: court arbitration? Do they want that? How does that look?
Speaker 1: I think it's hard for Brian Flores to prove the
Speaker 1: other part of this that he didn't get hired. He
Speaker 1: even thinks it was retaliation by the Texans that he
Speaker 1: filed the lawsuit and then they didn't hire him either.
Speaker 1: The part that I think he can win is the
Speaker 1: Stephen Ross with the Dolphins, because there's a dollar figure
Speaker 1: attached to this this and we said this at the time,
Speaker 1: and I think this is going to happen Stephen Ross.
Speaker 1: I was joking right that to me is going to
Speaker 1: be part of the defense of Stephen Ross. From what
Speaker 1: I'm told, he will use the all I was joking.
Speaker 1: This program brought to you by Panini America, the official
Speaker 1: trading cards of the DP Show. We'll talk to Michelle
Speaker 1: to Foyum about her final performance, her final game on

Speaker 1: past tense. She worked her fifth Super Bowl on Sunday
Speaker 1: on NBC in Peacock. A four time winner for Sports
Speaker 1: Emmy Outstanding Personalities Sports Reporter, former colleague at NBC. Man
Speaker 1: not retiring, But what was it like when you walked
Speaker 1: off the field for the final time? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: Dan him. I'll tell you something. I had kept it
Speaker 1: together and kept it together because you know, I've been
Speaker 1: planning on this for years now. And then I decided,
Speaker 1: as I was leaving, you know, maybe I should just
Speaker 1: sort of look back at where I am walking away
Speaker 1: from and look back at the field and just sort
Speaker 1: of take it in and remember this. And I lost it.
Speaker 1: I lost it. I didn't like sob, but I cried.
Speaker 1: I looked back. That stadium is beautiful at so far
Speaker 1: as you know, it was still full of energy and people,
Speaker 1: and I just looked at the lights, and I looked
Speaker 1: at the field and I said, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: feed back like this here again, or at any stadium
Speaker 1: for that matter. And I kinda I kind of like
Speaker 1: the whole thing sort of flashed before my It was.
Speaker 1: It was. It was a moment um, sort of bittersweet,
Speaker 1: but amazing. How physically demanding it take us onto the field.
Speaker 1: You're trying to get Aaron Donald after the game, and
Speaker 1: how does that work? Where your game ends? And then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's chaos, they tell you, and
Speaker 1: I'm when I say they the team's pr staff, your
Speaker 1: camera crew, your sidelined producer, everyone that's helping, says, you
Speaker 1: stand here, will get Aaron. And you're standing there, and
Speaker 1: it's my nature to go chase the guy down myself
Speaker 1: because it's like, where is he, you know, so we
Speaker 1: gotta get this done. So it's um. You know, it
Speaker 1: can be physically, it is chaotic, but you don't care
Speaker 1: because you're you're you're single mindedly pursuing this this person
Speaker 1: and thinking about what you're going to ask, and so
Speaker 1: you care less about the chaos. You see right through
Speaker 1: it somehow and you just you just get it done.
Speaker 1: But I will say I was talking to him and
Speaker 1: when McVeagh came up behind him to hug him, my
Speaker 1: arm was stuck between them. That was a little bit
Speaker 1: of an uncomfortable moment. It was kind of a weird
Speaker 1: sort of position of being. And how much time do
Speaker 1: you know you have with Aaron Donald post game on
Speaker 1: the field. I really didn't know, Dan, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I know someone in my ear will go wrap it,
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm going too long. But for me,
Speaker 1: it's as long as it's compelling and as long as
Speaker 1: it's you know, you don't want to keep the guy forever.
Speaker 1: He wants to go be with his teammates. You know
Speaker 1: you have a job to do, but you're trying to
Speaker 1: be sensitive to all those elements of the moment. And
Speaker 1: so I knew it was going to be three questions,
Speaker 1: maybe four, Max, and I think that's what we did.
Speaker 1: But also you know you have something because he's crying,
Speaker 1: and then you want to be sensitive to him being
Speaker 1: sensitive himself. And there's that fine line of am I
Speaker 1: milking this and how do you judge that? You just
Speaker 1: put it really nicely, You don't. You don't want to
Speaker 1: milk it. You don't want to be like you let's
Speaker 1: just see how much we can get him to cry.
Speaker 1: But you do want to let him be authentic. You
Speaker 1: want to know what's behind the tears. You obviously, on
Speaker 1: a human level, we all know what's there, right, It's
Speaker 1: this moment of incredible victory, of a lifetime of waiting
Speaker 1: for justice. You know that's all there. You don't want
Speaker 1: to put that into his mouth. You want to ask him.
Speaker 1: You want him to tell you what it is. So
Speaker 1: you're trying to find clever ways to get there and
Speaker 1: at the same time let him let him talk about
Speaker 1: that final play, because that that did the game in
Speaker 1: that iced it right, So there's just a I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's a balancing act that and you never get it
Speaker 1: perfectly right, but you try. And then Rodney Harrison pregame says, hey,
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised. Aaron Donnad walks away, and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: Rodney's now an insider. And I was going to text
Speaker 1: him to say, Rodney, do you know what you just said?
Speaker 1: Because now it's a part of the game. And even afterwards,
Speaker 1: you know, are you thinking can I ask him? Should
Speaker 1: I ask him? How do I ask him about retiring? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I had to because if you don't, you damned
Speaker 1: if you do. Damned if you don't in that minute Dan,
Speaker 1: because people if you don't ask, you get criticized. When
Speaker 1: you do ask, you get criticized. But I had to,
Speaker 1: And in fact I used it in my open too,
Speaker 1: because Rodney had reported that to us that he was
Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, look, if I win this thing,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll go away and call it a career. So
Speaker 1: we used that in my opening on camera, and then
Speaker 1: you got a bookend it. You have to ask the
Speaker 1: question you just and and I thought it was kind
Speaker 1: of telling that he said, I'm just going to soak
Speaker 1: this in for now, and I totally respect that, and
Speaker 1: I knew we probably weren't going to get a definitive answer.
Speaker 1: But you know, when I did my first Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: it was Pittsburgh, Jerome Bettis was thinking about retiring, and
Speaker 1: I did a I recorded my postgame interview with him.
Speaker 1: He told me he was going to retire, and then
Speaker 1: they ditched my recorded interview with him and grabbed someone
Speaker 1: to do it live. I think it was Targo who
Speaker 1: stole that moment. Oh you know, so I was just
Speaker 1: gonna I was gonna ask more likely to walk away
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald or Sean McVeigh. Aaron Donald. I mean, if
Speaker 1: I if I had to weigh those this. You know,
Speaker 1: we asked Sean McVey about that on Saturday. We had
Speaker 1: a final conference call with him, and he's like, shoot,
Speaker 1: they asked me, you know, am I going to do
Speaker 1: this till I'm sixteen? Well so, But but then I've
Speaker 1: also seen some interesting little or I should say, picked
Speaker 1: up on some interesting vibes coming out of industry folks
Speaker 1: that think, you know, he has an opportunity to go
Speaker 1: do what John Gruden once did, which is walk away
Speaker 1: from coaching for a while do some TV relax and
Speaker 1: he's young enough he could go back to coaching again.
Speaker 1: My gosh, he's a super Bowl champion. I was told
Speaker 1: that this morning by a source who said there's interest
Speaker 1: on both sides with s and Sean McVeigh, and my
Speaker 1: sore said, I don't know if it's a leverage play.
Speaker 1: The same thing with Aaron Donald. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is a leverage play. Same thing with Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: with what's going on with him, leverage play. Well, with Kyler,
Speaker 1: it would seem more of a leverage play. He's so
Speaker 1: early in his career. And we were talking about Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald how great he is, But think about you know
Speaker 1: guys that did walk away when they were at their
Speaker 1: prime and they were still able to enjoy the rest
Speaker 1: of their lives. I mean, Aaron Donald has worked his
Speaker 1: un am I allowed to say ass off on your show.
Speaker 1: Yes you just did, Okay, Okay. He's worked his ass
Speaker 1: off for so long. I thought one of the things
Speaker 1: he said in the interview was so sweet. He said,
Speaker 1: I promised my five year old daughter that I would
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl, and now he's delivered that to her.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's promising her more daddy daughter time too. We
Speaker 1: don't know that. And so you know, for a guy
Speaker 1: who just his whole life is about work and staying fit,
Speaker 1: maybe he's ready. Who knows, Yeah, but maybe buys are
Speaker 1: a couple of ponies. Michelle and he continue used to play.
Speaker 1: I mean if I if you say to your five
Speaker 1: year old, do you want a couple of ponies or
Speaker 1: do you want daddy to be home all the time.
Speaker 1: I know what my five year old would have said, ponies.
Speaker 1: Oh of course not. Of course, I'll take cash. Mom,
Speaker 1: I don't don't buy the pony, give me money, give
Speaker 1: me the American Express card and I'm good. No, you
Speaker 1: know I do remember my daughter once I came home
Speaker 1: from the end of a season and there was a
Speaker 1: note on my desk that said, I'm so glad football
Speaker 1: season is over, and you know it just yanked it
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh my gosh. You don't think
Speaker 1: your kids are thinking about that, but they are. They
Speaker 1: love you being around. Um. Everyone has their own story.
Speaker 1: So I'll be really eager to see what Aaron does.
Speaker 1: He's a phenomenal player. He look, he's achieved about everything
Speaker 1: you can achieve, Right, what do you have left? To
Speaker 1: do except I guess make more money. Michelle Tafoya, NBC
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football sideline reporter Odell Beckham and that storyline
Speaker 1: post game for you, the importance of hearing from Obj
Speaker 1: was what, Well, we didn't get to hear from him.
Speaker 1: I didn't get to see it either, Dan. What did
Speaker 1: he say a post game? Was there was there somewhere
Speaker 1: that he spoke because what I saw was he came
Speaker 1: back out onto the sideline dressed in you know, his sweats.
Speaker 1: I saw him celebrating. He didn't. He looked happy, but
Speaker 1: for a guy who had caught a touchdown in the
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and then you know, you saw
Speaker 1: it happen, it's one of those No one hit him,
Speaker 1: it was non contact. It was just this moment. If
Speaker 1: the guy has torn his acl again, I'm crushed for him.
Speaker 1: We had a really great discussion with OBJ the week
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl where he confessed a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff about how the catch in New York was a
Speaker 1: blessing and a curse. Be careful what you wished for,
Speaker 1: because it changed his life, both good and bad. How
Speaker 1: he was too young maybe for that all that attention
Speaker 1: in New York City. What happened in Cleveland, how he
Speaker 1: felt when he left Cleveland, how much soul searching he did,
Speaker 1: and how he's really he feels he's grown up a
Speaker 1: lot from all of those things. It was a truly
Speaker 1: compelling interview with him that we had, and so we
Speaker 1: were all a little heartbroken for him not to be
Speaker 1: able to finish that game. I was also wondering about
Speaker 1: him in the media. You know, it's another knee injury,
Speaker 1: good looking guy, charisma. Could you see him in a
Speaker 1: studio environment. That's a great point I could, because I
Speaker 1: don't think people understand how deep this kid is as
Speaker 1: a thinker, and because you don't get that opportunity very
Speaker 1: often to just sit down with a guy with no
Speaker 1: cameras around and just talk. And that's what we did
Speaker 1: with him during the week when we went up to
Speaker 1: Rams practice, and it was we were all just like spellbound.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all just I don't want to exaggerate,
Speaker 1: but we were all I don't know the people were saying,
Speaker 1: can note because we're just listening. I'm absorbing what this
Speaker 1: guy's been through and it was fascinating. Now I think
Speaker 1: he can find a way to channel that he is
Speaker 1: a good looking guy. He's got a lot of accomplishments
Speaker 1: on his resume. He knows the game. People. You can
Speaker 1: think of him as a polarizing character. I think he's
Speaker 1: going to come around to being a beloved character. Well,
Speaker 1: we've seen wide receivers do this. Who knew Randy Moss
Speaker 1: would be a good studio analyst, Michael Irvin would be
Speaker 1: a charismatic guy like this happens and it feels like
Speaker 1: he would be a natural. So let the audience know
Speaker 1: what is next for Michelle Tafoya. Well, you know what's
Speaker 1: gotten picked up the most is that I'm I'm helping
Speaker 1: to run a campaign in Minnesota. We've got a guy
Speaker 1: running for governor there, Candle Falls, who I'm very supportive
Speaker 1: of and am going to be the co chair of
Speaker 1: his campaign. Dan. I know this is going to sound
Speaker 1: corny and dumb. I don't care. I really don't care
Speaker 1: what people think. Every morning I wake up and there
Speaker 1: is a palpable hole at my chest, like you've got
Speaker 1: to go do something that helps people out. We are
Speaker 1: in a bad place in this country. I am the
Speaker 1: daughter of American dreamers. You know, my dad's a first
Speaker 1: generation Latino. Here, my mom grew up poor, dirt poor
Speaker 1: in the depression. My whole family lived the American dream.
Speaker 1: I believe in it, and I I gotta help in
Speaker 1: whatever way I can. I've taken enough of the American dream.
Speaker 1: I want other people to believe in it. I want
Speaker 1: people to be stopped being told what they can't do
Speaker 1: and being told what they can do, because the opportunities
Speaker 1: here are limitless, and I'm tired of people being told
Speaker 1: you can't get that now. It's unfair here. There is
Speaker 1: a lot of unfairness in life, but there's a lot
Speaker 1: more opportunity, and I just need to find a way
Speaker 1: to help move that along somehow, someway. It's an honor
Speaker 1: to have worked with you. And right back at your
Speaker 1: Pali and uh and good luck and hopefully you get
Speaker 1: that that quality time at home, because you know, I
Speaker 1: left ESPN and people said you're crazy, and I said,
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy if I'm going home to my kids.
Speaker 1: But exactly, you know what mix in a Viking game.
Speaker 1: Occasionally maybe do like a preseason sideline, you know, just
Speaker 1: to keep ready, just in like Tom Brady, I mean,
Speaker 1: who knows, Michelle, who knows more likely to come back?
Speaker 1: You were tom Brady, Tom Brady, Okay, no question, Thank you, Michelle,
Speaker 1: thank you, Jan appreciate it well. Michelle Tafoya NBC Football
Speaker 1: Night in America's sideline reporter and that was her fifth
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and uh once uh sports Emmy four of
Speaker 1: them first sideline reporting. Uh. You know, I'm lucky, lucky
Speaker 1: to work with quality people, and she was certainly up there,
Speaker 1: you know, as far as being professional, And really that's
Speaker 1: what it's about. It's just it's not how old you
Speaker 1: are young, if you're male, female, are you professional. And
Speaker 1: two of the most professional people I ever worked with,
Speaker 1: Andrey Kramer and Michelle, and I've worked with so many
Speaker 1: and they are professional. But when you have somebody who's
Speaker 1: so buttoned up, they make you kind of reconsider are
Speaker 1: you buttoned up when you're ready to do your job
Speaker 1: as well? You want to stay on their level, and
Speaker 1: she was certainly one of those people. All Right, We'll
Speaker 1: take a break. More phone calls coming up. We're back

Speaker 1: Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast. If you
Speaker 1: were watching on Peacock the live looking we were talking
Speaker 1: about Valentine's Day. You try to get through Valentine's Day unscathed. Well,
Speaker 1: I forgot it was Valentine's Day yesterday. So I left
Speaker 1: the house out the door, taking the dog, going to work.
Speaker 1: And then my wife text me and says, oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, happy Valentine's Day. And I went, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and I was like too late. To do anything, and
Speaker 1: I said sorry. She goes, no, no worries. I forgot too.
Speaker 1: I went, okay, that's good. She remembered before I remembered.
Speaker 1: So all day yesterday I think I called her four
Speaker 1: times and I had to say Happy Valentine's Day, and
Speaker 1: then i'd see her late, Happy Valentine's Stay. She goes, okay,
Speaker 1: point made yes, be awesome. If Flynn she said, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, happy Valentine's they'd be like, yeah, I've
Speaker 1: been waiting. No, he just flipped it and be like,
Speaker 1: yeah Valentine. Yeah, but we should get stuff too, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's Valentine's Stay. I didn't get a gift.
Speaker 1: You know, it'd be nice, yes, Fritz, but you shouldn't
Speaker 1: feel bad that you didn't say it first. Though. The
Speaker 1: world is very different now, there's no like you know,
Speaker 1: who says it first and the guy has to say
Speaker 1: that girl. I just we're in a whole new world
Speaker 1: where she said it first. Good for her, and then
Speaker 1: you go, yeah, you're too happy Valentine. What colors the
Speaker 1: sky in that world? Todd, you must be new here.
Speaker 1: It's dark. I'm sorry, that's guy. And today is is
Speaker 1: Singles Day National Singles Day. Single Awareness Day s a
Speaker 1: d sad, but it's a real thing, Singles Awareness Day.
Speaker 1: You would think, if you're single after Valentine's Day, you
Speaker 1: don't need to have any awareness that you're a loser, right,
Speaker 1: But if you look at the letters, Singles Awareness Day sad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: see see I think they mess this up or the
Speaker 1: singles all right, they shouldn't have it the day after
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. They should have it the day before Valentine's
Speaker 1: Day because some people who are single just spent the
Speaker 1: whole day yesterday being like, I'm alone still, I'm never
Speaker 1: gonna find anyone, and then today it's like, oh no,
Speaker 1: it's okay, you're gonna be okay, it's fine to be thinking. Instead,
Speaker 1: they should have done a preemptive like, hey, just a
Speaker 1: reminder tomorrow there's gonna be a holiday about people who
Speaker 1: are don't worry about it, You're good. They have a
Speaker 1: holiday about you being a loser. That's right after Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1: No offense, Yes, Paul, did we get a hall pass
Speaker 1: this year here with Valentine's Day at all? Because the
Speaker 1: super Bowl was on a Sunday, the thirteenth, so our
Speaker 1: head was there. If you're like a bro who watches
Speaker 1: a lot of sports, do you get that kind of
Speaker 1: hall pass this year? I don't think so. I took
Speaker 1: my wife out to dinner on Saturday night, like a
Speaker 1: preemptive strike. Okay, it seemed to work. Yes. What about
Speaker 1: those that say conscious choice that they're single and a loser,
Speaker 1: that they're busy, they got work, they got other responsibilities,
Speaker 1: that they have no time for a relationship, or are
Speaker 1: they rationalizing their loneliness by saying I choose to not
Speaker 1: have it. I chose to be single for a long
Speaker 1: period of time when I was getting out of high
Speaker 1: school going to college. My first two years of college,
Speaker 1: I was choosing to be single. Yes, I yeah, and
Speaker 1: long hair, I had a uni brow, and I had
Speaker 1: acne and come on, who wons some of that sixty
Speaker 1: three about one seventy five height and weight? Bell Marvin,
Speaker 1: let's go sleep at the wheel? Come on, come on, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's me single awareness. It's somebody for everybody, though, someone
Speaker 1: out there somewhere I just maybe didn't run into, would
Speaker 1: have found that hot that whole. No, definitely, no, not
Speaker 1: at all, not at all. Yeah. See the you know
Speaker 1: it's funny too, because I've never had any interest in
Speaker 1: getting married at all. I never wanted to get married
Speaker 1: and never wanted to have kids. And that's actually one
Speaker 1: of the first things that me and my now wife
Speaker 1: and mother of my son talked about the day we met,
Speaker 1: and never getting married and never having kids. You two,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go grab a drink. All right, girl,
Speaker 1: who is single the longest here? I got married at
Speaker 1: thirty todd twenty days after my thirtieth birthday. Okay, Seaton,
Speaker 1: Uh think us? I was somewhere in my early thirties,
Speaker 1: maybe thirty something like that. All right, Paulie got married
Speaker 1: at thirty five years old. Loser or winner? Think it
Speaker 1: through before. I don't know. I fell love, found love
Speaker 1: five years before, you know, so I was lucky. I
Speaker 1: found a lot of love. You thirty thirty five, you
Speaker 1: didn't last you felt like I think a lot of
Speaker 1: like I'm getting texts from single people now, by the way, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: very unhappy today. It's not a good day for you.
Speaker 1: And I agree. Singles Awareness Day the day before Valentine's dead,
Speaker 1: it should be. Yeah, yeah, point. I have a couple
Speaker 1: of buddies who are single, and they're going wire to wire.
Speaker 1: They declared it like when they were young, and now
Speaker 1: they're not young anymore, and they're perfectly at least out
Speaker 1: they've got convertibles, they don't. They've got a lot of
Speaker 1: credit card debt. I notice that they're just substituting one
Speaker 1: thing for another thing. That's all. I can't put a
Speaker 1: price tag on uptown. And you can't choose to be said, well,
Speaker 1: if you got special soulmate somebody that's out there, you
Speaker 1: can't just declare I'm never walking down the aisle. However,
Speaker 1: But Leonardo Dicapriol, is he really happy? He's ecstatic? I
