Speaker 2: of the Day. A little bit later on, Jim Beheim
Speaker 2: will join us on the program former Heisman winner Robert
Speaker 2: Griffin Junior third. He can react to the latest news.
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Vikings are not pursuing Aaron Rodgers. It's official.
Speaker 2: There are two reports the Vikings are not pursuing Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Steelers still are. I don't
Speaker 2: know if the Giants are. I don't know if pursuing
Speaker 2: the Giants. Is he pursuing the Steelers. We tried to
Speaker 2: kick the tires on this Viking situation, and I wondered.
Speaker 2: I was skeptical, but I thought, okay, if the Vikings
Speaker 2: are interested in him and JJ McCarthy's not ready to play, okay,
Speaker 2: then I would take it. I would take a chance
Speaker 2: on Aaron Rodgers for one year. JJ McCarthy is your future.
Speaker 2: You trade it up to get him at number ten
Speaker 2: in the draft last year. But I just didn't know.
Speaker 2: It felt like maybe Rogers was interested. I just didn't
Speaker 2: know if it was reciprocated, and maybe internally the Vikings
Speaker 2: were saying, hey, what about this? What do you think?
Speaker 2: Maybe you talk to JJ McCarthy, maybe you get an
Speaker 2: update on his recovery time, and then you finally come
Speaker 2: to the realization we're good now. I do think they
Speaker 2: made a mistake in letting Daniel Jones go, because I'd
Speaker 2: like to have a little bit of experience there as
Speaker 2: a backup. Sam Darnold was going to cost you more.
Speaker 2: I got that, But Daniel Jones, I think you could
Speaker 2: have kept him there and he would have been maybe
Speaker 2: okay as a backup. But you're getting somebody who is
Speaker 2: going to be basically a rookie and playing, but coming
Speaker 2: off knee surgery, and there's going to be an adjustment period.
Speaker 2: This is a team that was a playoff team, had
Speaker 2: aspirations of going to the super Bowl. But now if
Speaker 2: you're Aaron Rodgers, does Aaron Rodgers want to stay in
Speaker 2: New York? If you wanted to go to the Steelers,
Speaker 2: you probably would have gone to the Steelers. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's a great fit. It's just because it's
Speaker 2: you know, if he goes into Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh is the star.
Speaker 2: He went to the Jets and they're like, what do
Speaker 2: you want? Do whatever you want? You want to change
Speaker 2: the Colors. I don't care. They were desperate. The Steelers
Speaker 2: aren't desperate. But it feels like you go in there,
Speaker 2: that's Mike Tomlin you're dealing with, You're dealing with, TJ. Watt,
Speaker 2: Minka Fitzpatrick. Cam Hayward had something to say he's the
Speaker 2: Steeler defensive lineman on the Not Just Football podcast on
Speaker 2: what would your recruiting pitch be to Aaron Rodgers to
Speaker 2: join the Steelers.
Speaker 3: I ain't doing that darkness darkness treat retreat. I don't
Speaker 3: mean any of that crap, like either you want to
Speaker 3: be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don't. That's that's simple.
Speaker 3: That's the pitch. If you want me to recruit that's
Speaker 3: the recruiting pitch. You know, Pittsburgh Steelers. If you want
Speaker 3: to be part of it, so be it. If you don't,
Speaker 3: no skin on my back exactly.
Speaker 2: That's what I've been saying. You're the Pittsburgh Steelers. Don't
Speaker 2: lower yourself. Oh Aaron, could you please come here? Move on?
Speaker 2: You should have kept justin Fields. At least that gave
Speaker 2: you a bridge quarterback for the next two years. Maybe
Speaker 2: he develops into something. Now, what do you have Mason Rudolph? Okay,
Speaker 2: are you gonna bring Russ back? If it's true that
Speaker 2: Russ and Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator, didn't get along
Speaker 2: at the end of the season, or maybe you didn't
Speaker 2: see eye to eye. But you're the Steelers, now, I
Speaker 2: get it. The Giants, they are gonna have to beg
Speaker 2: to get Aaron Rodgers, the Giants who would have thought
Speaker 2: one of the blue bloods. And you're waiting to find out,
Speaker 2: would Aaron Rodgers please come and play for our team?
Speaker 2: It feels like the Giants are taking Shadoor Sanders. I
Speaker 2: don't have any information on that other than it feels
Speaker 2: like Shadoor has thought all along that's where he was going. Now,
Speaker 2: can you bring in somebody. Do you bring in Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers and let Shador Sanders sit a year? Maybe? But
Speaker 2: the once proud New York Football Giants they're waiting for
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. And if you're the Steelers, move on, move on.
Speaker 2: You might not have somebody as good as Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 2: or the ceiling might not be as high, but move
Speaker 2: on the Steelers. You don't do this, please, And then
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, I still think Kirk Cousins plays a role
Speaker 2: in this somewhere, at some point, somehow. Now the Falcons,
Speaker 2: you know, they have him, they're paying him, they want
Speaker 2: him to be their backup. And it feels like every
Speaker 2: team needs a you know, a good backup. If you're
Speaker 2: going to be a playoff team, you've got to have
Speaker 2: a good backup. Chances are your quarterback's going to get
Speaker 2: dinged up a little bit at some point somewhere down
Speaker 2: the line. Michael Pennix Junior, the third has been banged
Speaker 2: up in his career, early in his career when he
Speaker 2: was in Indiana. So the quarterback in carousel, I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's stopped or stalled, but it doesn't seem
Speaker 2: like it's going at the same speed that we thought
Speaker 2: it was going to. I thought Aaron Rodgers would make
Speaker 2: a decision by last Friday. But he's Aaron Rodgers. Maybe
Speaker 2: he waits. Maybe you wait until after the draft. And
Speaker 2: this is what I wondered with some of these teams.
Speaker 2: You're to get a quarterback, you might get a quarterback.
Speaker 2: If you don't get your quarterback, then things change a
Speaker 2: little bit. Then all of a sudden, maybe there's more
Speaker 2: people interested in Russell Wilson. Maybe there's more people interested
Speaker 2: in Kirk Cousins. Maybe he becomes more valuable in it
Speaker 2: as a trade possibility. There's always the chance that Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers just says I'm done and this came out. I'd
Speaker 2: love to give maybe it was dying in Racini. I'd
Speaker 2: love to give the credit to the person. But it
Speaker 2: felt like there is that option on the table, and
Speaker 2: that seems obvious at his age, what he went through
Speaker 2: with the Jets. But then we always come back to
Speaker 2: the phone, Well you don't want to go out this way.
Speaker 2: How do you think Aaron Rodgers is going to go out?
Speaker 2: Probably not on a high note unless he goes to
Speaker 2: the Vikings. You can't all be John Elway. And if
Speaker 2: you're going to go to the Giants, how do you
Speaker 2: think you're going to go out? This isn't Travis Kelsey
Speaker 2: who played in the suit. Hey, I want to come back,
Speaker 2: Okay Aaron Rodgers does he want to play? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Does he know? But if on the Steelers, I make
Speaker 2: you an offer and you don't want to come, we're
Speaker 2: the Steelers, then I say, all right, we move on.
Speaker 2: Were the Vikings ever really interested in him? Was he
Speaker 2: more interested in them? Now? There are reports that he
Speaker 2: loves New York wants to stay in the New York
Speaker 2: area if he's going to play, Whether that's true or not,
Speaker 2: but he would go from you know, one locker room
Speaker 2: to the other locker room in the same building, from
Speaker 2: the Jets to the Giants. But that's the updated news
Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers holding us all hostage. Not much longer though,
Speaker 2: right eight seven seven three DP show email address DP
Speaker 2: at danpatrick dot com Twitter handle a TP show. Watched
Speaker 2: basketball last night and I was curious just how good
Speaker 2: North Carolina was going to be. And this doesn't This
Speaker 2: doesn't prove really anything. I know. This is where Tarhill
Speaker 2: fans will say, oh, are you going to apologize today.
Speaker 2: No for what I didn't think you deserve to be
Speaker 2: in the tournament. It's not the end of the world.
Speaker 2: It's okay. If you're really honest about your team, you
Speaker 2: probably would say you didn't deserve to be in the tournament.
Speaker 2: But you take it. Okay, Fine, you beat San Diego State, great,
Speaker 2: maybe you make a run. We've seen teams in the
Speaker 2: first four end up in the final four and you
Speaker 2: know they they're on a mission. Here Alabama State at
Speaker 2: the buzzer gets by Saint Francis Pennsylvania. Not a great
Speaker 2: couple of days for West Virginia basketball. West Virginia doesn't
Speaker 2: get in the tournament, thought they deserve to get in
Speaker 2: over North Carolina, and then, to make matters worse, they
Speaker 2: lost their basketball coach. He went to Indiana, Darien Devrie.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he would have gone to Indiana
Speaker 2: had West Virginia made the tournament. After they get bounced,
Speaker 2: you you eventually go to Indiana. I'm not sure. But
Speaker 2: Mike Woodson, who got Indiana to the doorstep of making
Speaker 2: the tournament, got fired. Darien Devrees, who was kind of
Speaker 2: the I think the guy after the guy to clean
Speaker 2: up Bob Huggins mess at West Virginia, but he goes
Speaker 2: from West Virginia. I don't know if the governor holds
Speaker 2: a press conference and has anything to say today about
Speaker 2: losing their basketball coach. Yeah, your alma manor Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think the big part was Bob Huggins. This is
Speaker 4: kind of the after I think Darren Derees he was,
Speaker 4: like you said, kind of the guy after the guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, And now going to Indiana. Steve
Speaker 2: Alford never got a shot. Now Steve's at Nevada, And
Speaker 2: I thought that that was one of those that was
Speaker 2: always going to be inevitable, and then all of us
Speaker 2: sudden it wasn't.
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, looking back on history, don't you think that's
Speaker 5: a bad idea? You saw Patrick Ewing at Georgetown and
Speaker 5: Chris Malling at Saint John's at Penny It's going okay
Speaker 5: for Penny Hardaway at Memphis. But isn't it tough to
Speaker 5: be the greatest player in the hit not one of
Speaker 5: the greatest players in the history of a program going
Speaker 5: back to be the head coach.
Speaker 2: Like Clyde Drexler at Houston. You can't hire somebody without
Speaker 2: the thought that you may have to fire them and
Speaker 2: with you know, Chris Mallin at Saint John's, Patrick Ewing
Speaker 2: at George Like, these are your all timers, and of
Speaker 2: course it has to be awkward when you come back.
Speaker 2: You know, there's there's a Hall of Fame ceremony alumni
Speaker 2: weekend and yeah, you're introducing Chris Mallin or Patrick Ewing
Speaker 2: and everybody's thinking the same thing. The school fired them, yes, Martin.
Speaker 5: And it's hard because those two are easily the greatest
Speaker 5: players in the history of that program, so everyone's looking
Speaker 5: for them. Steve Alford, I'm not sure if he's the
Speaker 5: great I don't know much about Indiana BASKETAB. I don't
Speaker 5: know who the greatest player is that ever went there.
Speaker 5: But it's got to be difficult if you come back
Speaker 5: after getting fired.
Speaker 2: But this was a guy who played for Bob Knight.
Speaker 2: He's a local, he's an Indiana kid. You won a
Speaker 2: national title with him. I just and I think Dan Dakis,
Speaker 2: who played at Indiana radio hostel join us tomorrow and
Speaker 2: I can ask him more about this. But it just
Speaker 2: felt like Steve Alford wasn't considered for that job. You know,
Speaker 2: he had UCLA at Iowa Nevada, but Indiana now has
Speaker 2: West Virginia's head coach. All right, see what's poll question today?
Speaker 4: I was gonna go with most sure thing in the tournament.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, by the way, a sure thing. The Dodgers won.
Speaker 2: They just beat the Cubs and get a load of
Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki. If you get a chance to watch him pitch.
Speaker 2: His first three pitches hundi, hundi, hundi, and then his
Speaker 2: next pitch was ninety nine. Then he had a splitter
Speaker 2: at eighty two. Sh he. It feels like he either
Speaker 2: strikes you out or walks you. But you want to
Speaker 2: talk about some electric stuff. They may not need Otani
Speaker 2: to pitch this year. Imagine if you're in the Nation
Speaker 2: League West and you're like, damn, we're already two games
Speaker 2: behind the Dodgers because nobody else has played except for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in the Cubs, but they ended up winning
Speaker 2: Otani homward in the game. This is just business as usual.
Speaker 2: But Sisaki has I'm trying to think, who reminds me
Speaker 2: of Yeah, polling nuke lalush.
Speaker 6: Well, a little nuke us three innings, one hit, one
Speaker 6: in run, five walks in three k Yeah.
Speaker 2: But as far as Man. He's got some stuff, but
Speaker 2: they ended up beating the Cubs, you know, and you
Speaker 2: get sometimes you'll get that Japanese player who might be
Speaker 2: twenty six or twenty seven each row. I think was
Speaker 2: twenty six twenty seven when he came over. Susaki's twenty three.
Speaker 2: But that's that pipeline. They spent the money, They outspent
Speaker 2: everybody for him, and they you know, their pitching staff
Speaker 2: was decimated last year with injuries. And I mean, you
Speaker 2: have Clayton Kershaw's a luxury. He could be he could
Speaker 2: be your pitching coach at thirty five million dollars a year.
Speaker 2: May not need him that much. But I don't think
Speaker 2: the offense is going to be as good. But they're
Speaker 2: still going to be the overwhelming favorite to win the
Speaker 2: World Series. In fact, according to DraftKings, the Dodgers are
Speaker 2: plus two to ninety the second favorite. The Braves are
Speaker 2: plus seven fifty, the Yankees plus eight to fifty. Then
Speaker 2: it's the Phillies, and then the Mets at plus twelve hundred.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, the bases where there's two men on for
Speaker 6: Otani and they intentionally walked Otani. Not a good reaction
Speaker 6: from the local crowd.
Speaker 2: No, no, all right, seatan I interrupted you. You know what,
Speaker 2: Let me take a break. We'll come back. We'll run
Speaker 2: down all the poll question options, and your phone calls
Speaker 2: always welcome. So you have basketball coming up tonight. If

Speaker 9: UNC last night. We could be on vacation right now.
Speaker 2: Dan, Why would we be on vacation if we bet
Speaker 2: North Carolina last.
Speaker 10: Night because that was the clearest script of what was
Speaker 10: going to happen.
Speaker 9: Ever, everyone and their mother's talking about how they don't
Speaker 9: deserve it, and then they go out and win by thirty.
Speaker 2: So we would have made so much money that we.
Speaker 10: Would have eight to ten billion dollars and.
Speaker 2: Then I still would show up for work today eight
Speaker 2: billion dollars. Yeah, yeah, I would.
Speaker 10: What about on Monday.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Really, yeah, I like going to work.
Speaker 10: We can do the show from like Turks and Caicos
Speaker 10: or something.
Speaker 2: No, I don't need that. I mean, would I do it?
Speaker 2: Maybe for a week or so, maybe in February. Yeah maybe,
Speaker 2: but no.
Speaker 10: Then you get used to the island life.
Speaker 2: N I can't get used to the island life. Really, yeah, can't.
Speaker 2: I try. It's just I don't sit at the beach.
Speaker 2: I'm not a guy who reads a book. I gotta
Speaker 2: be doing a couple of things something. But uh, and
Speaker 2: then leave it to me and our family. We go
Speaker 2: on vacation. We get on one of those banana boats,
Speaker 2: you know Lebron and d Wade and Carmelo Anthony banana boat.
Speaker 2: Next the last day we're done with vacation, the guy
Speaker 2: who is you know, he's got a motor boat and he's,
Speaker 2: you know, taking the banana boat all around and hitting waves.
Speaker 6: Captain Banana.
Speaker 2: He's trying to get you to fall off the banana boat.
Speaker 2: And then you know he does well. My sister's boyfriend
Speaker 2: elbow goes right into my daughter's collarbone, so she breaks
Speaker 2: her collarbone. And we're in another country, and that's not
Speaker 2: a pretty sight. When you have to go to a
Speaker 2: hospital and you're like, we're not having surgery here, could
Speaker 2: you give her some pain meds? But I mean that's like,
Speaker 2: let's do something. How about a banana boat sounds great?
Speaker 2: Next thing, I know, my daughter's got a broken collarbone,
Speaker 2: got a flyer back home the next day. We could
Speaker 2: have just stayed, stayed at home, played board games or something.
Speaker 6: We've all been together a long time. I can't remember you.
Speaker 6: You're not an island sit at the beach guy.
Speaker 2: In anyway, I gotta be moving, got to do something.
Speaker 6: What's your ideal vacation like like art galleries and stuff
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 3: No, I.
Speaker 2: Just movement. You got to be like what's there to see?
Speaker 2: Like when I went to Wine Country, it was great.
Speaker 2: You're moving. It's constant. I can't just sit there, sit
Speaker 2: there in the sun, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: the sun reminds you you missed a spot and you're like, godly,
Speaker 2: that's that hurts. And then reading the book and all
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I'm a terrible person to go
Speaker 2: on vacation with because I start to relax usually the
Speaker 2: next to last day, and I'm like all right, you know,
Speaker 2: and everybody else is like, you've been miserable the whole time.
Speaker 2: I go, no, no, not really, not really. By the way,
Speaker 2: march madness is built on chaos, right, the first four
Speaker 2: games we usually dismiss because well, it's the first four.
Speaker 2: Nobody cares. We may focus on the eight nine matchup
Speaker 2: that's always competitive. Maybe you go Cinderella Story. By the way,
Speaker 2: for some reason, every time I look at my bracket
Speaker 2: and I see liberty, I always go liberty bibberty, Like
Speaker 2: I always think of that commercial with the guy who's
Speaker 2: by the statue liberty, liberty, beberty. Can't pronounce it, Marvin,
Speaker 2: you've seen Puzzled. Have you seen that commercial? It's on
Speaker 2: like fifteen twenty times. It feels like an hour.
Speaker 5: Is that the same commercial words liberty, liberty, liberty, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: then yes, I have.
Speaker 2: As opposed to what other liberty commercial it's not for
Speaker 2: the university.
Speaker 5: I've seen those. I've seen tons of those.
Speaker 2: Liberty, beberty. Fairleigh Dickinson stunned Purdue in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: That's the second number sixteen seed to tomp will number
Speaker 2: one at large. First four teams have done pretty well.
Speaker 2: VCU in twenty eleven went from the first four to
Speaker 2: the final four. Ucla did it twenty twenty one, taking
Speaker 2: down Number one Michigan along the way Number ten Colorado
Speaker 2: last season kept the trend to line, beating Boise State
Speaker 2: and then number seven Florida. I don't know if one
Speaker 2: of these teams Xavier, Texas, Alabama State goes any further
Speaker 2: than what they did. You know, Alabama State last night.
Speaker 2: You've got Xavier and Texas. I don't know if Mount
Speaker 2: Saint Mary's or American is going to advance, but it
Speaker 2: feels like there's always going to be one or two
Speaker 2: of those teams. And when you're filling out your brackets,
Speaker 2: like I've moved from the twelve to five to the
Speaker 2: thirteen to four, I just think teams have gotten better,
Speaker 2: more balanced, and you know you're going to take a
Speaker 2: shot here they'll be at probably a double digit seed
Speaker 2: who goes to the Elite eight, maybe the final four.
Speaker 2: Feels like it's that way every year. Jim Beyheim, mister
Speaker 2: Sunshine will join us coming up a little bit later on.
Speaker 2: He filled out a bracket. I think he won the
Speaker 2: bracket challenge last year. Behein was pretty good a couple
Speaker 2: of phone calls in here. Let's go to Curtis in Illinois,
Speaker 2: High Curtis, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3: More?
Speaker 11: In DP, I was wondering if maybe you thought Aaron
Speaker 11: Rodgers finally came to the realization that he's not the
Speaker 11: end all be all and as opposed to just paying
Speaker 11: for anybody that'll take him, he wants to play for
Speaker 11: like a Kevin O'Connell, an offensive guru under that Shanahantree,
Speaker 11: and maybe he's just going to hold out for maybe
Speaker 11: somebody to get injured so he could have that opportunity
Speaker 11: of the team where.
Speaker 2: He can be coached a little.
Speaker 12: In an offensive system that seems to work in today's
Speaker 12: the NFL.
Speaker 2: I think going to Minnesota and having that coach to
Speaker 2: coach you, if Aaron would let that happen with those
Speaker 2: weapons Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson, I mean that to
Speaker 2: me would have been an ideal situation. You get to
Speaker 2: go back to the NFC North that you know quite well,
Speaker 2: but you know at some point you have to just
Speaker 2: say we as an organization are moving on. You can
Speaker 2: be intrigued by Aaron Rodgers. I would have brought Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers in just to pick his brain. That's why I
Speaker 2: don't know why more teams don't interview more coaches, because
Speaker 2: they bring in all of this information. They tell you
Speaker 2: exactly what, but they think of your team. And if
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers came in, I'd love to hear what he
Speaker 2: would have to say. Now, if you do bring him in,
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, that's when it starts to
Speaker 2: you know, explode, Oh he's in, and then you know
Speaker 2: you got to talk JJ McCarthy down off the lead. No, no,
Speaker 2: you're still you know, teams are still from what I
Speaker 2: was told inquiring about trading for JJ McCarthy, which if
Speaker 2: I'm Minnesota, no, no, you got your guy. You traded
Speaker 2: up to get your guy, You got a great, great
Speaker 2: coach for quarterbacks, and now you have that rookie contract.
Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers, if you wanted the Steelers, you know,
Speaker 2: he would have made that decision. It feels like it's
Speaker 2: the Giants or retirement or a Giant retirement. But I
Speaker 2: don't know if there's anything else for him. I do
Speaker 2: know that this story will linger if he retires and
Speaker 2: you don't fill out papers. You know, JJ Watt told
Speaker 2: us a couple of weeks ago. He didn't fill out
Speaker 2: any papers that that will always be there. Let's say
Speaker 2: just throw this out. Matthew Stafford gets hurt. There was
Speaker 2: talk that maybe Aaron Rodgers would go there. If Matthew
Speaker 2: Stafford went to the Giants, got a playoff team, got
Speaker 2: two really good wide receivers. Oh, you happen to have
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams there. Aaron Rodgers will always be the Hey,
Speaker 2: what about Aaron Rodgers. That is a storyline that will
Speaker 2: persist in the offseason and then the regular season. Somebody
Speaker 2: gets hurt. That's why I think Kirk Cousins is really
Speaker 2: valuable for Atlanta. If a quarterback on a playoff caliber
Speaker 2: team gets hurt, I mean, who's Cleveland's quarterback? Can he
Speaker 2: pick it? Russell? Like, what's Russell Wilson gonna do? Is
Speaker 2: he going back to Pittsburgh? I don't know if they
Speaker 2: want him. If they wanted him, they would have said,
Speaker 2: we're keeping you the Browns. Does he want the Brownes?
Speaker 2: The Giants? I think you would go to the Giants.
Speaker 2: I think playing in New York that whole thing, and
Speaker 2: maybe you bring him in and you know, once again,
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna go after Shadoor Sanders. Somebody's going
Speaker 2: to take Jackson dart At of Old miss maybe somewhere
Speaker 2: in the first fifteen picks. That will change things up
Speaker 2: for some teams. And then all of a sudden, we
Speaker 2: didn't get our guy, or we did get our guy.
Speaker 2: We're not interested in Russell Wilson or the Giants bring
Speaker 2: him in because they want to have him there for
Speaker 2: one year, because they're going to bring in Shador Sanders.
Speaker 6: Yes, Pauline, I went to Cleveland Browns dot com. You
Speaker 6: can go to every team's website and see their depth chart.
Speaker 2: I told you not to go to those not safe
Speaker 2: for work websites.
Speaker 6: There, big red flag. My computer's locking up. Yeah, why
Speaker 6: are you looking at this? They don't have a depth
Speaker 6: chart up on their website. It says check back in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five. It's twenty twenty five. There's no depth chart.
Speaker 2: But I think they have Jamis went well, they don't
Speaker 2: even have James Winston.
Speaker 6: Now, Pickett is under contract, Watson is under contract.
Speaker 2: Okay, dang thikes. See, most of the time, as NFL fans,
Speaker 2: we think there's a chance for our team every year. Now,
Speaker 2: even if you're a bad team, you go, you know,
Speaker 2: schedule draft picks. I don't know. It's rare when you
Speaker 2: go into a season and you go, we have absolutely
Speaker 2: no hope? How many? How many no hopers are out there?
Speaker 2: Like I have more hope for Carolina than I do Cleveland,
Speaker 2: the Titans, I mean, unless cam Ward proves to be
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels, probably no hope there any other no like
Speaker 2: Arizona has the potential. The Giants probably a no hoper.
Speaker 2: The Jets are they a no hoper?
Speaker 4: They always have hope?
Speaker 2: Delusional hope, yes, Martin.
Speaker 5: Jaguars no hope. Nah, they on Earth, on Earth.
Speaker 2: Now, I think they do. I think they have hope. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that division decent off season. Yeah, I'm okay with Jacksonville.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, Paul, like the New England Patriots, there were
Speaker 6: four and ten. But Drake May had a very sneaky
Speaker 6: nice season. Not Jane Daniels sish. That feels hopeful but
Speaker 6: not in near future.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But you might say, all right, can we be better
Speaker 2: than the Jets? Yes? Can we better be better than
Speaker 2: the Dolphins? Yes, We're not as good as the Bills.
Speaker 2: Can we get nine wins? Can we be a wild
Speaker 2: card team? Yes?
Speaker 5: Mark, So we guys are saying, no hope. Do you
Speaker 5: guys mean a playoff team, like a potential Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 5: so I'm gonna stick with the Jaguars.
Speaker 2: So you don't have any hope for the Jags not
Speaker 2: on this planet? Okay, all right.
Speaker 4: They seem a long way from hope. They feel like
Speaker 4: they're just on the downside of that last bit of
Speaker 4: hope they had that clearly isn't working out.
Speaker 2: I think that they set their gps to hope and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden they got.
Speaker 4: Sidetracked recalculating yes, recalculated yes.
Speaker 2: Wait where you take Surrey? Where are you taking me?
Speaker 2: You are not going to the playoffs?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 2: Oh we it was straight ahead there. Now I'm taking lefts.
Speaker 2: And by the way, how many times you had asked
Speaker 2: for directions and they take you you know what, you know,
Speaker 2: the quickest way to go someplace, And all of a
Speaker 2: sudden they have you going like three or four different
Speaker 2: turns than you would normally, And I go, I don't
Speaker 2: know if I can trust you. I think she's deceiving me,
Speaker 2: she's lying to me, And I always go, how did
Speaker 2: you get these directions? Maybe she's giggling at me. Would
Speaker 2: it'd be great, though, if I would love to be
Speaker 2: a Surrey voice, you know, like car directions where you
Speaker 2: could actually say to somebody, you know, hey, that's terrible music. Hey,
Speaker 2: keep your eye on the road. She doesn't like you
Speaker 2: crack a window. Please let's do that. No, because then
Speaker 2: you have to do all of those lines that you know,
Speaker 2: you have to record everything, and then they piece it
Speaker 2: all together all right. Uh. Josh in Indianapolis, Hey, Josh,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13: What up? DP?
Speaker 12: Hey Josh, second time long time five nine, two twelve. Hey,
Speaker 12: So I'm calling because I'm heading out to Vegas for
Speaker 12: opening weekend March Madness, and Uh, I just wanted to
Speaker 12: hear what Dylan's got rolling? Uh for the weekend?
Speaker 2: Dylan, what do you have rolling for the weekend?
Speaker 13: Well?
Speaker 9: Then, traditionally I bet every game Thursday and Friday, just
Speaker 9: for the numbers game. I like, I have one big upset,
Speaker 9: which is actually a team that's been a hot topic
Speaker 9: on this show, Arizona. I'm finally gonna smarten up, and
Speaker 9: I'm taking them to lose in the first round. Akron
Speaker 9: is plus seven to fifty money line.
Speaker 10: Okay, I've been bedden by them. Too many times.
Speaker 2: Oh, I have too many times. Like I say, I
Speaker 2: call them the Chargers of college basketball, or the Chargers
Speaker 2: or Arizona Basketball of the NFL. Where you go, I'm
Speaker 2: all in and then all of a sudden and the
Speaker 2: Wildcats have been shocked again.
Speaker 4: I fall for that every.
Speaker 2: Year and like, Nope, not anymore.
Speaker 10: They're like, you know who the best four seed is
Speaker 10: in the tournament?
Speaker 9: Arizona bounce in the first round by Yale.
Speaker 2: Wait, Arizona's playing Yale.
Speaker 10: No, they're playing Akron.
Speaker 9: But okay, I think a year or two ago they
Speaker 9: did lose in the first round to Yale.
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah. There's certain teams where I've been burned that
Speaker 2: if they win, I'll be like, hey, good, good for you,
Speaker 2: round of Paul, toast to you. But for the most part,
Speaker 2: they're just certain teams where you go, Nope, not going
Speaker 2: to do it. You're not going to make me do it, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5: And on the opposite end, Michigan State. No matter what
Speaker 5: seed they are, Oh Tom, is it on March they
Speaker 5: could be the eleventh seed. Oh man, they got to
Speaker 5: the final four again.
Speaker 2: John Swoltz would always win our bracket challenge because he
Speaker 2: would always have his alma mater, Michigan State, or he
Speaker 2: was going to go to Michigan State, decided to play
Speaker 2: for the Braves. But he always has Michigan State in
Speaker 2: the final four or the championship game. And for somehow,
Speaker 2: some way, some reason, Tom Izzo always has his team
Speaker 2: ready to go for a guy that you probably can't
Speaker 2: name more than five players, marquee players who have played
Speaker 2: for him. I mean, you go back to matteen, Cleeves,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean he's had players, you know, Draymond Valentine,
Speaker 2: There's been some good players, but he doesn't have one.
Speaker 2: And Donners. He's one of those guys that is just
Speaker 2: a basketball treasure. He knows how to coach. And there
Speaker 2: are coaches who know how to coach early, in the
Speaker 2: middle of the season, late in the season, and then
Speaker 2: the postseason. Very few can do it at all four
Speaker 2: of those times, and Tom is always one of those guys.
Speaker 2: I haven't filled out my bracket yet. I hate it,
Speaker 2: but it's just like when I took the SAT and
Speaker 2: I didn't give any thought to it, I did better
Speaker 2: than when I actually gave it thought. I just go
Speaker 2: b see hey, b d see didn't matter didn't care.
Speaker 2: Did better when I did that? All right, We'll take
Speaker 2: a break. Phone calls coming up, settle on our poll question.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to RG three about the Vikings no longer
Speaker 2: interested in Aaron Rodgers. Jim Beheim will join a little
Speaker 2: bit later on as well. But our Play of the

Speaker 2: Uh oh, better make up. Watched a lot of the
Speaker 2: Alabama State game and Saint Francis. I think they had
Speaker 2: nineteen losses going into that game. Does that sound about it?
Speaker 2: They had a losing record, but you have that baseball
Speaker 2: pass and then it's like defensive backs knock the ball down,
Speaker 2: knock it down, had a ricochet and then put in
Speaker 2: with seven tenths of a second there. I want to
Speaker 2: make sure I got that stat right with Saint Francis.
Speaker 2: Do we have? They're the nineteenth team to enter the
Speaker 2: tournament with the losing record. Those teams are oh for
Speaker 2: nineteen all time? They were sixteen and eighteen, so not nineteen?
Speaker 2: Well maybe are they nineteen losses with last night checking? Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, how about the poll results there? Seton?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got up there right now? More of a
Speaker 4: sure thing in the tournament. Your options are Duke, Florida, Auburn,
Speaker 4: and Houston. Okay, right now, Florida running away with that
Speaker 4: one at about forty six percent of the vote, followed
Speaker 4: by Duke. Auburn is in last there, and I've seen
Speaker 4: Auburn in a couple of different places referred to as
Speaker 4: possibly the greatest team of all time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm not going to subscribe to that.
Speaker 4: Possibly the greatest team of all time.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Florida is going to leave its mark here.
Speaker 2: At least that's what the analysts say. I mean, Seth
Speaker 2: Greenberg said Florida is Noah's Ark. They have two of everything,
Speaker 2: which is a great line. I don't know, it's just
Speaker 2: it's always weird when you have a team that's really,
Speaker 2: really good dominating. I just want to see when you
Speaker 2: don't have your a game, when you have to win ugly,
Speaker 2: when you have to win a close game now, because
Speaker 2: for the most part, you're going to have some blowouts,
Speaker 2: but you're going to have one of those games. Feels
Speaker 2: like just about any team that wins the title, there's
Speaker 2: always one of those games where you have to get
Speaker 2: by somehow, and sometimes it's not the guy that you
Speaker 2: would expect to help you. Move on, Tim and Ohio,
Speaker 2: Hi Tim, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13: Good morning, Dan? Good morning, Hey Saturday, I got Saturday here.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 13: The nineteen the n Tournament started one day before the
Speaker 13: nastals Ta turnlet. It was hell at bastesb Garden sixteen
Speaker 13: for picked up play and the winner of the tournament
Speaker 13: temple out over the Colorado Buffalo's.
Speaker 2: All right, steat of your day today, Boss?
Speaker 3: Stat of the day?
Speaker 2: Stat of the day?
Speaker 3: Here comes that? What stat of the day.
Speaker 2: I was watching a little n I T last night
Speaker 2: with Saint Bonaventure. Uh, it's not that exciting at my house.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you know, sometimes it can get crazy.
Speaker 2: But hey, I'm gonna flip back and forth with an
Speaker 2: NIT game. Maybe I'll see Woje there at Saint Bonaventure's game, yes, Seaton.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, last night was one of those nights
Speaker 4: because I found myself here like just flipping around. I
Speaker 4: watched hockey for a while last night. That was a
Speaker 4: lot of fun. You know what they do in hockey
Speaker 4: two that had ever realized. So I apologize hockey fans
Speaker 4: for your head's all about to explode. But if you
Speaker 4: do like a coaches challenge on a play. I was
Speaker 4: watching Islanders Penguins I think it was, and there was
Speaker 4: like a goalie interference question on a goal and the
Speaker 4: coach challenged it because he thought that there was a
Speaker 4: coach's challenge he thought there was interference, and then they
Speaker 4: found that there was no interference, they got docked for
Speaker 4: delay a game, and then the other team ended up
Speaker 4: getting a power play. Oh so there was like consequences
Speaker 4: for if you're gonna challenge this and waste our time,
Speaker 4: we're gonna take a guy off ice for I forget
Speaker 4: how two minutes or whatever it was, I forget. But
Speaker 4: you like, there's way more skin in the game about
Speaker 4: like I just throw it and see what happens. Like, No,
Speaker 4: if you do it now, you immediately not only does
Speaker 4: the goal stand, but when you come back, you're in
Speaker 4: a past. Yeah, the other you're short on ice.
Speaker 2: You imagine if you did that in basketball, where if
Speaker 2: somehow you're wrong, then the other team gets to shoot
Speaker 2: a technical.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah exactly, Like all right, well you messed that
Speaker 4: up this other team, I'm gonna get to shoot.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's kind of awesome. Yeah, you're wasting our time,
Speaker 2: you interrupted the flow of the game. You guys get
Speaker 2: to shoot a technical foul. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The more the more you pay attention, hockey is a
Speaker 4: fantastic game. It's a great sport.
Speaker 2: But how many sports do we say the following man
Speaker 2: come playoff?
Speaker 11: Time.
Speaker 2: Now football, you will say we love the regular season,
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Baseball, man, postseason's great. Basketball man, postseasons great. Hockey, definitely,
Speaker 2: postseason is great. It's just not a great philosophy to
Speaker 2: have that everything is about your postseason. College basketball is great,
Speaker 2: you know, the postseason is great. Regular season is not. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean that's why people have a hard time filling
Speaker 2: out their brackets because they're going, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: didn't watch Yeah, I think I watched the Maley Invitational,
Speaker 2: but that was, you know, back in October. But you
Speaker 2: have you know, like baseball, you get excited at the beginning.
Speaker 2: There might be moments during the season, a no hitter,
Speaker 2: somebody hits you know, four home runs, all Star game.
Speaker 2: But it feels like the NBA starts after Christmas. Baseball
Speaker 2: we sort of get after the All Star Game, maybe
Speaker 2: July ish, where people get a little more ramped up
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, Yeah, hockey is one of those sports where
Speaker 5: I know, great goalkeeping, like man Tim Thomas when he's
Speaker 5: with the Bruins, Dominie Hashik with the Buffalo Sabers. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and was that Mike Richter. Richter, I can't name anybody else,
Speaker 5: because they were like, man, it's about goalkeeping. It's like
Speaker 5: pitching in the playoffs in Major League Baseball. Man, great pitching.
Speaker 2: Yes, and that's what hockey is. And then they I
Speaker 2: had never heard the expression, oh he was standing on
Speaker 2: his head out there the goal he was, And I go, no,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't. I know it's an expression here. Yes.
Speaker 6: Do you think with youth hockey it's the kid? Do
Speaker 6: people aspire to be a goaltender or is the kid
Speaker 6: out there who can't skate too well has to kind
Speaker 6: of try out in goal early in.
Speaker 4: His career aka the first baseman.
Speaker 2: No, no, I don't think it's like this stereotypical heavy
Speaker 2: kid is going to be the catcher in the movie.
Speaker 6: That's what I was asking.
Speaker 9: Usually hockey boys are actually a lot of times the
Speaker 9: best skater on the team.
Speaker 2: The best skater. Yeah, well they're probably the best athletes,
Speaker 2: or at least I think a lot of them. Maybe
Speaker 2: it didn't used to be that way, but I mean,
Speaker 2: just what they do, it's and to do it on skates,
Speaker 2: it's pretty You got things flying at you one hundred
Speaker 2: miles an hour. I wouldn't sign up to be a goalie,
Speaker 2: but there are people who have that mindset of this
Speaker 2: is what they love. You're in the action all the time, yes, yes, Dyli.
Speaker 9: It is pretty insane that, in like modern society, at
Speaker 9: one point hockey boys had nothing on their head or.
Speaker 2: Face or face yeah yeah, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you're soft. If who was at Jacques plant was he
Speaker 2: the first to have a goalie? You imagine these hockey
Speaker 2: guys got stitches all over the place they see him.
Speaker 2: You're soft. You got to wear a mask.
