1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: game analysts, and of course the radio show that precedes

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: ares Two Pros and a Cup of Joe alongside Labar

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: Arrington and Jonas Knox. Also, Brady will be in Lincoln,

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: Nebraska for Saturday's big noon kickoff on Fox with the

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State taking on Nebraska. Brady joins us, Now, what

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: happened to Nebraska? Well, I think they decided to leave

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: what was the Big Eight, Big Twelve and joined the

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: Big Ten, where I don't know that they've ever really

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: found their footing and the ability to compete within that conference.

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: I think from a recruiting standpoint, which we all know

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: is the lifeblood of college football programs, really any athletics

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: program at the college level, and they've struggled to be

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: able to do so competitively within that ofference. So I

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: think that's part of it. I also think they kind

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: of got away from what was success with Bo Polini

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: thinking they were going to get back to the heydays,

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: and it's just a different time in college football. And

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: it's harder now than ever, I think for some of

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: those blue bloods to understand that what you did in

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: the past, you're not going to be able to replicate

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: now in the future. You've got to change, you've got

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: to adapt and adjust, and I think they're still trying

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: to figure that out right now at Nebraska. What did

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: you think of the top four rankings with the committee.

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with it, and it was

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: really for this reason. I think so many people who

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: were outraged by it, they were manipulated by the associated

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: press pool, the ape Pole, which here's the truth. We

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: gave away the power to this college Football Playoff committee

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: seven years ago, back in twenty fourteen. So if you

34
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: who wanted to buy into where people were ranked preseason

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: polls and throughout the season up until the point before

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: the committee actually came out with their first poll, that's

37
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: on you, like you were putting your stock and wait

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: in something that doesn't matter. Like I'm sorry, it just

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: it hasn't mattered since we've gotten to the College Football

40
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: Playoff and since we've anointed a thirteen person committee. So

41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't really taken back by it. It was really

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: more what I thought it was going to be because

43
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: we've seen throughout its history at this point of season

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: they rely on the eye test and factoring it essentially

45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: strength the schedule and who you've beat, not who you've

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: lost to, at least at this point in time in

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: this season. So it didn't bother me. I think both

48
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Oklahoma still have paths to be able to

49
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: get up in the top four and be in the playoff. Yeah.

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: I think if their goal was to get people upset

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: and talking about it, they did a really good job.

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: And let's not kid ourselves. This is a TV show.

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: This this whole event is about TV ratings getting the

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: right teams in there. I think Cincinnati is going to

55
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: be on the outside looking in even if they run

56
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: the table, because it may not be fair. But if

57
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: you're saying a one loss Ohio State or a one

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: loss Alabama or a one loss Oklahoma, they might leap

59
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: frog or they might stay in front of Cincinnati. What

60
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: do you think, Todd, what's the update on Brady Quinn?

61
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: If he can just join us over the phone, then

62
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: that's fine. It doesn't have to be a zoom call.

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: It looked like he is reconnected. Yeah, but it doesn't

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: have to be a zoom call. We had trouble reaching

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: him on the phone, but I think he's back as

66
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: a zoom. Okay, we'll wait until he pops up on Man.

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: There he is. I thought you gave great thought to

68
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: my question by Brady that Cincinnati is going to be

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: left out of the final four. I think they're definitely

70
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna be left out if indeed you see Alabama be

71
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: George and SEC championship game, because if you look at

72
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: how the top twenty five is constructed as we speak,

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: seven teams are from the SEC, six teams are from

74
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: the Big ten. That's over half. So clearly they're still

75
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: telling you right now we can act like there's a

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: power of five. There's a power two essentially, and so

77
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna give more way to those two conferences, and

78
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: they're going to allow a one loss Georgia team in

79
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship game to be in as well as Bama. Now,

80
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna Georgia beats Bam even a

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: close game. I know that narrative has been float out there.

82
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: We've never seen a two loss team get in. Bama's

83
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: not getting in if they have a second loss, but

84
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: that really the SEC Championship is the biggest way that

85
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: Cincinnati could get knocked out. But the real question then becomes,

86
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: as well, look, if Ohio State wins out, they're gonna

87
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: be in. The winner of that SEC Championship game will

88
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: definitely be in. But I think George is in two.

89
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: So then you're really looking at three teams jocking for

90
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: that fourth spot, and you've got a COMPARI Sincinnati's strength

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: of schedule and they're wins versus Oregon and versus Oklahoma's

92
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: when it's all sa and done. Yeah, I think in

93
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: that scenario, if Bama beats Georgia, they'll be left out.

94
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: But I think if Georgia beats Bama yet two spots left,

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: I think you see Oklahoma and since Natty go in

96
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: and it's the PAC twelve in Oregon, that you know,

97
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: end up getting leap frog when it's all said and done,

98
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: which would be unfortunate for the Pac twelve, But we've

99
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: seen that in years past, and they really haven't been

100
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: a part of the College Football Playoff National Championship conversation

101
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: since it started. Yeah, you start to look at all

102
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: of this and how it unfolds and I'm also curious

103
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: about if Michigan loses to Ohio State. I guess, do

104
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: you think Jim Harball's job could be in jeopardy? Is

105
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: he on a warm seat, hot seat, any seat at all.

106
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: He's on a seat, that's for sure. Not wearing cacus anymore,

107
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: but he's on a seat. I think it really more

108
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: comes down to what he wants personally and professionally, because

109
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: I think he's well respected enough in certain circles where like,

110
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: if an NFL job came open, I could see him saying,

111
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go take that opportunity, and it doesn't look

112
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: as bad leaving your alma mater and leaving Michigan if

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: you go to the NFL. He has improved Michigan from

114
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: where they were. They just haven't been able to get

115
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: on top of the mountain yet. And so it really

116
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: comes down to his personal preference personally and professional as

117
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: to what he wants to do with the rest of

118
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: his coaching career. You know, does he want to keep coaching?

119
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: I was and there he goes, No, we tried, Brady,

120
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: thank you. If you can hear me, then save travels. Yes,

121
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: But the Michigan thing, it's like Harbaugh has good seasons

122
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: and bad losses. Yeah, nine and two, ten and one,

123
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: ten and two. But then when there's an opportunity for

124
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: the signature, when it seems like it never happens. Brady

Speaker 1: the last time you waited in on picking up somebody

134
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: a free agent or a draft pick? Probably I probably

135
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: waded in to coach t a lot through like a

136
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: text on something I don't but you know, it's not

137
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: like it's hey, get this guy or else. It's just

138
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: a hey, what do you think about this guy? Or

139
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: maybe he'll shoot me a text? Do I know any

140
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: think about this guy? But but not a whole lot really?

141
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: All right? Whose idea was it to have fun with

142
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: coach Tomlin on the USC rumor what do you mean, well,

143
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: then you guys show up with gloves and follows at

144
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: your fight on there? Oh oh no, I just was

145
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: saying hey, like, um, yeah, I was because I had

146
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: actually um texted like earlier in the week. I think

147
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: when the news like kind of I don't know if

148
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: you called breaking new whatever you say. When Carson put

149
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: it out there, my agent called me and said, did

150
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: you hear a Carson said, and I'm like no, and

151
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: he told me and then um, Coach T just happened

152
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: called me or I called him. I think he was

153
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: at his out of town for some personal reasons and

154
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: I said, hey, I said, it looks like you got

155
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: some things to talk about. He's like, what are you

156
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: talking about? And he had no idea and I told

157
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: him and he's like, are you serious, Like it's news.

158
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think you're gonna have to answer for it,

159
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: and I think he's just press the next day and

160
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: that's what all this stuff came out. And so I

161
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: was speaking to the media the day after that and

162
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I was like, I you know, I gotta I go

163
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: with Coach T long enough, I gotta go so I

164
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: was looking for like stuff in Juju's locker and I

165
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: tried he had a sweatshirt, but it was a large

166
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: and out of look too ridiculous. So I just put

167
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: I put the gloves on and had him in my

168
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: in the hoodie and I tried to just like, you know,

169
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: tip the cap. Just a very subtle thing. So, um,

170
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: just have some fun. How did how did that go

171
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: over with coach tomlind He you know what, surprised He

172
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: never said anything, so maybe he didn't see it. Um.

173
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: So next time I was gonna, I was thinking about

174
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: doing like just like literally any school's got availability. I

175
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: was going to try and do it, just see what happens. Well,

176
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: Carson sent it, said it on my show, and I

177
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: was saying, I was saying, hey, you know, you know,

178
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: are you helping with the you know, getting us you know,

179
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: coaching candidates there? And he goes, yeah, you know, and

180
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're looking at a variety of guys and

181
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: he goes, yuh, and maybe a wild card would be

182
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. And then he could tell from my reaction, goes, oh,

183
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: you haven't heard that, and I go no, And I

184
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: don't think America has either they had, he added he

185
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: was he was, so he's like, are you serious. I'm like,

186
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: I tell him, you're being at dance reporter. You know.

187
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: I keep looking around the league and it's a war

188
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: of attrition. And we've added a seventeenth game. They're going

189
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: to add an eighteenth game, but you'll probably be out

190
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: of the league by then. But I mean, does this

191
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: makes sense. I know that there's money attached, and that's

192
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the bottom line, but man, it's tough to stay healthy

193
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: no matter how long a season is it is. And

194
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: I think my wife and I were just talking about

195
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: this last week, like literally, every time you turn on

196
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: the TV, whether it's the bottom line or breaking news

197
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, so and so gets hurt. So and so

198
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: gets hurt. I get it's football, And I'm not trying

199
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: to say it's because of the extra games or whatever

200
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: it is, or lack of preseasons or training camps or

201
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what guys are bigger, faster,

202
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: or stronger, but I mean, guys are just getting banged

203
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: up left and right. And maybe it's no different than usual,

204
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: but my mind, it feels like it is. And you're right,

205
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's how can you get healthy at

206
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: the right time, you know, towards the stretch of the

207
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: end and enough to win games? And um, you know

208
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: it's kylie. We went through it with We had groins

209
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: and hamstrings there for a little stretch and um, you know,

210
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: luckily those aren't as serious as some of the other

211
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: ones that were going around right now. Okay, but it

212
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: used to be that we would talk about you and

213
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: it'd be well, Ben Roethlisberger can extend to play like

214
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: you would take on a defender or have two guys

215
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: hanging off of you. Are you still capable of are

216
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: you willing to do that? Or have you changed your strategy? Yeah,

217
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: if it takes it to win. Did you see me

218
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: go for that two point corson the other day. I

219
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: know you're confusing with you know who's back there, but man,

220
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: that was quite an athletic move there that you had. No,

221
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: I didn't say athletic, said there was no athleticism. It

222
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: was more about heart and all that. What it was.

223
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that was your heart on display? Okay, all right, yeah,

224
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: that was that was that took about fifteen seconds to

225
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: a run two and a half yards, So you can

226
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: undy right, you can still run Brady. He gets weighed

227
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: down by all those Super Bowl rings though. You know,

228
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: how do you explain Brady? I don't know. Um, you know,

229
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: obviously the guy puts his body through avocado ice cream

230
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: and all these crazy you know, the craziness that he does.

231
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: And um, I know that he puts the work in

232
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: the timed effort, like through film study, through work things

233
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: like that, and um, golly, he's just he's unbelievable. I

234
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: don't know how to explain it. I wish I knew

235
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: he's five years older than you. I know, it's unbelievable, unbelievable.

236
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: What do you think he'll be doing at He'll stand

237
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: in the pocket. It still blows my mind that he

238
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: stands in the pocket sometimes like completely flat footed, looking

239
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: around like I feel like if I'm flat footed for

240
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: like a half a second, like someone's about to kill me.

241
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's unbelieving what he does. What will you

242
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: be doing at forty four, um, being a dad and

243
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: a husband and probably coaching Little League something. Um, I

244
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: don't know yet. That's that's that's the ways down the road.

245
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: I was want how far down the road? Well, I'm

246
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: gonna be forty in March, so it's like four and

247
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: a half. That's lots of ways. Okay, Is that is

248
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: that your way of trying to ask me if I

249
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: want to play, tell i'm because that's that's the most

250
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: unique ways. I'm gonna ask me how I'm gonna play,

251
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: and how would you answer it? I promise you I

252
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: won't be playing football forty four. Okay, this just in

253
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: breaking news. Ben Roethlisberger announces the retirement in five years.

254
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: I can go with that. Well, I'll be playing football

255
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: in the backyard with my kids probably doing that. What

256
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: do you do better now than you did ten years ago?

257
00:13:52,760 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Um man, I don't know. Probably read a defense, um,

258
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: you know back then it was just, you know, use

259
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: your athleticism make people hang off you. I think you

260
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: have to you have to grow in that in that area.

261
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: I think, UM, understanding um my teammates and men and

262
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: trying to be a better leader. I think there's ways, Um,

263
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: I've learned this through through the many years I've played.

264
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: There's there's ways to motivate to talk to um different

265
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: guys and each guy's difference, not like you just go

266
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: talk to lineman the same. In receivers, literally, if you

267
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: if you learn and want to be a great leader

268
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: of men or of a football team, you have to

269
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: learn how to speak to each person and what motivates

270
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: each person. I think I've I take pride in trying

271
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: to know how to do that, how to pull a

272
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: guy aside um. Some guys you just give them a look,

273
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: you know. So I take pride in trying and leading

274
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: um football players and men. I obviously read into a

275
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: lot factoring in how long you played. But I'm watching

276
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: the game against the Browns last year in the playoffs,

277
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: and it was emotional for you. You know, you were

278
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: crying on the bench, and I thought, this is it,

279
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, losing to the you know, the team from

280
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: your hometown. And then you beat the Browns last week,

281
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: and then like there was true emotion in beating the Browns, Like,

282
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: help me understand the significance of where you were last

283
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: year in that reaction to where you are this year

284
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: in that reaction playing the same team. Well, you know,

285
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: you hate to lose the playoffs, right, We always say

286
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: one team, only one team ends the season the way

287
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: they want to, and of course something's probably in the

288
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: season they just want to get done. But you know,

289
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: it's Uh sitting there with with pounds, knowing that it

290
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: was probably it for him, and what that guy meant

291
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: to me, I think that was as much of the

292
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: emotion as losing the game. Obviously, I hate to lose,

293
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: so you get emotion. You hate to lose at home

294
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: against the Browns, all those things, the visional oponent, But

295
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: that guy's sitting next to me just means so much

296
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: to me, and so I knew it was going to

297
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: be tough to get him to come back for another one.

298
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: So that was part of the emotion of last year

299
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: and then this year. I think it's it's going to

300
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: a place that I've played many times. It's an AFC

301
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: North opponent. I've won many times up there, and I

302
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: told the guys after the game, the young guys especially,

303
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: don't ever take winning up there against that team for granted.

304
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: I've done it many times. I don't take it for

305
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: granted like that. That win meant as much to me

306
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: as as any of them, just because of what you

307
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: have to go through to win at that place. The

308
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: fans are awesome, like I'll never you know, those those

309
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: fans are unbelievable, and so to go there where it's loud,

310
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: where it's a good team, it's an opponent. That's why

311
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: I think I had that emotion after the game, because

312
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: if you just don't take it for granted, he's the

313
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger joining us, He's got the game

314
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: Monday night against the Bears with the Aaron Rodgers News.

315
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: How what kind of safety protocol do you go through

316
00:16:53,320 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: every single day? I have my tracer on NFL tracer, okay,

317
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: so you know where I'm at, who I'm around. You

318
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: can't take that off, Oh you get well, you can

319
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: take it off like for a shower maybe, but you

320
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: better have it on you if you if you leave

321
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: in your locker for a second, they're gonna bring it

322
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: to you. So that's the that's the one way I

323
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: don't want to get fine, so I keep my tracer

324
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: on them. But you know, you got guys who are

325
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: probably not vaccinated. Do they have a certain protocol, like

326
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: they go one way when you go into building and

327
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: you go another way. I don't, like I said, I

328
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, I think you're supposed to have your

329
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: mask on if you're not back. So I don't know

330
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: who on our team is and isn't Um, I know,

331
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: I am so I don't have to have my mask on,

332
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: but um, you know it's you still have to live

333
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: your life. Last year was such a bubble that we

334
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: all lived in. It was so crazy. Um, we all

335
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: sacrifice so much. People are still sacrificing obviously now and

336
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: doing the smart thing. But I, um, you know, I'm

337
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: still trying to live my life to the best, you know,

338
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: the best I can. I saw where you reached out

339
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: to some quarterbacks in the offseason. I think one of

340
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: the mannings. I don't know if it was eliar Peyton. Uh,

341
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if you reached out to Drew Brees,

342
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: just sort of kind of understanding of what this moment means.

343
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: And I was always told, if you're thinking about retiring,

344
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: then retire. Uh. Is that fair? Um? To a certain extent,

345
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: I think you're I think that's a fair point. Um.

346
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: I think it depends on where you are in your

347
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: retirement thinking or you know, it's just what you know.

348
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Um are you Are you sitting there saying, man, fifty

349
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 1: fifty do I come back? Do I? You know, do

350
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: I retire? If you're at that point, then you're probably right.

351
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: If it's entered your mind that Okay, this this could

352
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: be it, or this is the last stretch. Then then

353
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: I think you could probably you could probably still do it.

354
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 1: I think each person's probably a little different too. You know,

355
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: when did your kids realize what dad did for a living? Um,

356
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: probably about two year my oldest one, probably about two

357
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: years ago. He's going to be nine, so probably about

358
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: right off the six or seven mark. When kids at

359
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: school started to be like, oh, your dad does this,

360
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: or um, you know, going to games, like understanding people

361
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: wearing your jersey, or people horror nat you when you're

362
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: driving in the car, or you go to go out

363
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: somewhere and they're they're holler nat you. The kids are like,

364
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: I remember the first time someone like holler like big man.

365
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: My kids like, what how does that part? Like? Who

366
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: is that? Dad? Okay? Does your son wear your jersey

367
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: or does he like another quarterback? No, he wears mine.

368
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: He likes other guys. I mean he's got like he's

369
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: got a Claypool jersey. He had James Connor jersey. Juju

370
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: but he always but it never fails. He always goes

371
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: back to Dad on game day. Have you brought out

372
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: the super pop, big guy like he love. He wears

373
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: his little like the remember we all had the like

374
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: the starter uniform, like the one with a little like

375
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: rub the small helmet with a little bar and the

376
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: he's got like nineties on the side of his helmet,

377
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: you know. So he's got the guy to it. And

378
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: he likes to hit his little brothers. So he does.

379
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be a quarterback? Um? He's very talented

380
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. He wants to play football. We haven't

381
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: let him play, not let him, but we just haven't

382
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: done it yet. He's a very good golfer, and so

383
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: I think he might do golf. The younger ones done

384
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: are probably pretty good. He's a little wrecking ball. I

385
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: have played golf with Ben and uh, I think you

386
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: were just starting out playing when we got to do

387
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: it again? When when when when we played in Tahoe,

388
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: and I remember, I tell the story and I've said

389
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: this to Breeze too, because we played with Drew Brees

390
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: and he's the most competitive, Like how competitive was he

391
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: that day? Very crazy? Very crazy? Yes, he bogey's the

392
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: eighteenth and Ben and I are finishing our whole and

393
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: and Breeze he might have parted. He didn't bird it.

394
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: He walked off the green and and and so you're

395
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: supposed to shake hands and all and and and uh,

396
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: Breeze walks off and Ben goes. Uh. I guess I'll

397
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: shake your hand twice. I'll represent both quarterbacks. And he

398
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: was intense. You can be competitive and still you know

399
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: he can still shake a hand after a rabbit. All

400
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: I went. And the next day I saw him on

401
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: the driving range and I thought, oh man, I'm not

402
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: gonna say anything. He walks over and he goes. Day dann,

403
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: I had so much fun yesterday. I go, you did?

404
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: He goes Yeah. I said, oh okay, well I did too.

Speaker 1: breezes retirement here from football? Yeah, okay, I'll say that

407
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,359

411

430
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

431
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: get your podcast from. If you go to Pro Football

432
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: Talk and you read what Mike Florio has been writing,

433
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: then you're ahead of the game because he's been all

434
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: over the Odell Beckham story and Aaron Rodgers as well,

435
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: and the co host of Pro Football Talk Live celebrating

436
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: the twentieth year of Pro Football Talk. He is Mike

437
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: Florio back on the program. All right, Mike, we knew

438
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: that Beckham was going to be released. Now, can you

439
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: explain the process here of him going onto waivers and

440
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: then what happens after that? Yeah, Dan, after the trade deadline,

441
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: any player, no matter how many years in the league,

442
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: must pass through waivers. If for a least, if this

443
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: is happened a week ago, he'd be able to go

444
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: anywhere he wants. It happens now he's got to go

445
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: through waivers. And what I'm going to be curious to

446
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: see is what they exact he did to his contract.

447
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: The Browns wanted to reduce their financial obligation to him

448
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: moving forward, but there's a sweet spot there because if

449
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: you make it too attractive, then one of these other

450
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: teams says, we'll just claim the contract on waivers. Beckham

451
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: wants to be a free agent for the first time

452
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: in his career, so that's what to watch during the

453
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: waiver period. That window will open once he's officially released,

454
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: presumably at four pm Eastern today, teams will have the

455
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: ability to make their waiver claims and then we just

456
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: have to wait and see what the results are. All

457
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: it takes is one team. One team claims him. He

458
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: goes to that team, whether he wants to or not.

459
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: And how does it start with? The pecking order of

460
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: the Lions are on the clock for Odell Beckham correct,

461
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: that's right. There's an order that gets updated every week

462
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: during the regular season. After the third week is when

463
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: it starts to change. It's locked in going into the

464
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: season for the first three weeks. After week three, every

465
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: week it's updated. The Lions as the only winless team

466
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: have DIBs, and then you'd have the Texans and the

467
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins and whoever loses that game this weekend, assuming the

468
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: waiver period doesn't close before Sunday, that team would have

469
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: second digs and so on until we get down to

470
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: the best teams. That's how it goes, and you don't

471
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: know what other teams have done. Everybody either says yes

472
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: or no, puts in a claim and then the league

473
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: sorts it all out. You could have in theory thirty

474
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: teams make a claim for him on waivers. But the

475
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: team with the highest priority is the one who gets him. Okay,

476
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: more likely that he clears waivers or that he's picked

477
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: up by a team. Got to see the contract, got

478
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: to see how they have negotiated it. I would like

479
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: to think his agent insisted on a structure that will

480
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: make it more likely that he's not claimed on waivers.

481
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: And let me give you a quick example without getting

482
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: too far into the weeds. Browns want to reduce his salary,

483
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: want to pay him less? Okay, fine, Well, let's put

484
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: in the contract a clause that he gets five hundred

485
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: thousand per game when he's on the active roster per

486
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: game roster bonus, an enormous amount that would scare a

487
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: team off from claiming him on waivers, because that automatically

488
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: becomes part of what they owe him if they take him.

489
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Browns don't have to pay it, but if you take him,

490
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: you have to pay it. Something like that would be

491
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: advisable if the goal is to help him clear waivers.

492
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: Who should who should pick him up? Well? Look, I

493
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: think the Packers should. I think the Chiefs should. The

494
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs have been struggling to find someone who can step

495
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: in and supplement Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey. There are

496
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: some high end contenders out there that should want him.

497
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: The names that have bubbled up so far, though, I'm

498
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 1: told Seahawks, forty nine Ers, and Saints. The Saints already

499
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: were talking to the Browns about a trade, they couldn't

500
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: work it out. I think the Saints would be very

501
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: interested in adding him to the mix. My understanding is

502
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: he'd like to play for the Seahawks, and if those

503
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: are the three eight teams that are most intent in

504
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: pursuing him, Seahawks had the best quarterback in Russell Wilson

505
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: wants he's healthy, so it would make sense. But yeah,

506
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: there are plenty of teams that I think should want

507
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: to see what he can do. The question is nobody

508
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: really knows what he can do. Yeah, he's been open

509
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: a lot this year, but her defense is really paying

510
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: attention to him the way they used to. I don't

511
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: think so. What if Baker Mayfield is the issue? Well,

512
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: if he is, the Browns have chosen Baker Mayfield over

513
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior. And when they did the trade out

514
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: of the Blue March of twenty nineteen, my first reaction was,

515
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland is a town that's not big enough for both

516
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and OBJ. And I remember when the off

517
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: season program started in April of that year and everyone

518
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: was there for the first day they did the press

519
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: conference with OBJ and Mayfield and Jarvis Landry who's been

520
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: close with Beckham dating back to their days at LSU.

521
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: And then Mayfield has to be there as the quarterback

522
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: after OBJ just walks out the door and disappears for

523
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: the off season program. That's your opportunity to build chemistry,

524
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: to get to know a guy, and OBJ is nowhere

525
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: to be seen. I think that threw a wrench into

526
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: it early on, the pressure to constantly get the ball

527
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: to OBJ. Think Mayfield resented that he's the quarterback. He

528
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: makes the decision as to who's open and where the

529
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: ball goes, and I just don't think it ever really

530
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: got them on the same page. He's Mike Florial Pro

531
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: Football Talk Live co host the Aaron Rodgers situation. How

532
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: complicit is the team in this situation? Was there a

533
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: cover up? You know, is Aaron Rodgers is going to

534
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: be suspended? Maybe fine of go ahead, pick pick one

535
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: of those questions. Literally, there was no cover up because

536
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: he repeatedly did press conferences in the facility without his

537
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: face cover. And this is what's strange about the COVID protocols.

538
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: DAN and a lot of teams are watching this because

539
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: the league has a history of being selective in its

540
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: enforcement of rules. Last year, handful of teams got hammered

541
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: for coaches not properly wearing masks, when a lot more

542
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: coaches than the ones who got hammered weren't wearing masks.

543
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: So there's teams out there that repeatedly land on the

544
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: NFL's radar screen, like the Saints and the Patriots, who

545
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: were wondering what are they gonna do to the Packers here? Right?

546
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: But what do the emails look like between Jeff Passion,

547
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: Mark Murphy, the CEO of the Packers, how friendly are they?

548
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: Is he going to look the other way? Has he

549
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: been looking the other way? And there's no denying it

550
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: when it's in plain sight. He's at press conferences, they

551
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: know he's not vaccinated, and there isn't a mask on

552
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: his face. Preseason games, he was on the sideline, not

553
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: in uniform, no mask. I read the protocol as being

554
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: very clear only active players are exempt from wearing a

555
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: mask during a preseason game if they're not vaccinated, and

556
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: the league's already twisting itself into old pretzel to excuse

557
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: it because they let it happen. That's the real question here.

558
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: They rely on the teams to enforce the COVID protocol.

559
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: But then the league, you know, they can see the

560
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: same press conference as we see. Why wasn't the League

561
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: saying to the Packers, are you finding this guy fifteen

562
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: granda pop for not complying because he clearly went in

563
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: the public eye, was going to keep the masks away

564
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: because he wanted to perpetrate the ruse that he was

565
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: actually vaccinated. And yeah, it's where the Packers enforcing the protocol.

566
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: And was the league asleep at the switch because it

567
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: looks like both were true. Well, it feels like the

568
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: Packers and Rogers were collectively winking at this. That's right.

569
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: You know, we're not going to tell and don't worry,

570
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: and like nobody wants to upset if you know, in particular,

571
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: the Packers don't want to upset him. Like they need

572
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: to fall on the sword here the delicate genius who

573
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: decided seventy two hours before the start of training camp

574
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to retire. You think they're going

575
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: to antagonize him or do you think they're going to

576
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: look the other way if they can? And you know what,

577
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 1: this is one of those where you do the analysis

578
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: in advance. This is the old saying it's better to

579
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: ask for forgiveness than permission. Let's just keep our mouths

580
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: shut about this, and if it ever hits the fan,

581
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: we'll write the check. We'll deal with it then. But

582
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: we don't want to undermine our very tenuous relationship with

583
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: a guy that we are trying to make feel good

584
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: about us. What better way to make him feel good

585
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: about it than to not hassle him every day about

586
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: wearing a mask, especially when he's in the public eye

587
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: and he wants to be able to advance the false

588
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: narrative that he's actually vaccinated. So it doesn't surprise me

589
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: at all. And that's why the league should be in

590
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: charge of this. Somebody said to me yesterday, somebody one

591
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: of the teams said, you know, the teams aren't expected

592
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: to find the coach when the coach goes to a

593
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: press conference and rips the officiating. The league does it.

594
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Why isn't the league the one that's intervening and disciplining

595
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: a player when he fails to comply with the COVID protocol.

596
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: Who did you have yesterday that you posted about Roger's reaction?

597
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: He was he livid? Or what was the curious? Curious? Curious, curious, curious?

598
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: Now is he furious? Because well, tell me why is

599
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: he furious? Well, he's furious that it got out that

600
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: he's not vaccinated. And you know, Dan, this has been

601
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: an issue for years, and didn't it have to get out, Mike,

602
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: if he's on the COVID list, that people are gonna go,

603
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: are you vaccinated? Well, if he's on the COVID list

604
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: because of a positive, that doesn't necessarily show that he's

605
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: not vaccinated. If you're on the COVID list because of

606
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: a close contact, then you're definitely not vaccinated because if

607
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: you are, you're not knocked out for five days as

608
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: a close contact. But if you're positive, it doesn't matter

609
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: whether you're vaccinated or not. And when you throw on

610
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: top of it that it was the NFL's media conglomerate

611
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: that reported that he isn't vaccinated, and the league is

612
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: NFL media. An NFL media is the league. I'm just

613
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to anticipate what his next appearance with Pat

614
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: McAfee is going to sound like, what his next press

615
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: conference with a mask on, I assume is going to

616
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: sound like. And he's gonna be looking for somebody to blame.

617
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: Look the books out on this guy. I'm sorry, one

618
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: of the great quarterbacks of all time, but we know

619
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: how he is. He wants to blame somebody, and I

620
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: can see him fashioning an argument that he had the

621
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: right to lie to all of us about being vaccinated.

622
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: He had the right to choose to that secret, and

623
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have been outed by the league. Wow, I

624
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: mentioned I can't wait, must see TV. Get your popcorn

625
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: the next time he talks Dan Jordan Loved. Do you

626
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: want him to play great or bad for the story?

627
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: I think this story is better if he plays incredibly well.

628
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: Isn't it that makes it more likely the Packers move

629
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: on from Aaron Rodgers after But if he doesn't play

630
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: well and you know Rogers is likely to move on

631
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: and Jordan Love is not your future, oh that could

632
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: be awkward. Well, then that proves his point from all along.

633
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: Why in the world did you trade up in round

634
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: one to draft a quarterback when we had other more

635
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: immediate needs that would have maybe helped us win the

636
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year. Hey, I don't rule out, and

637
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: I've learned through twenty years of doing this you have

638
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 1: to be ready for everything, and the thing that you

639
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: aren't ready for is the thing that will happen. We

640
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: haven't heard a word from Aaron Rodgers in the two

641
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: days since this hit the fan. Not a pet, not

642
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: a tweet, not a word, not a thing, not a statement, nothing. Well,

643
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: what if this is the thing that causes him to say,

644
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: I've had enough of this crab. I've had enough of

645
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: dealing with this league. I've had enough of dealing with

646
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: this team. I've had enough of dealing with this game.

647
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm done. I'm not saying it's going to happen,

648
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: But wouldn't that be amazing if that's what he decides

649
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: to do, just walks away in middle of the season

650
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: because he's pissed off that he got outed for being unvaccinated. Again,

651
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: very small chance of it happening, But if you don't

652
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: account for it, that's when it happens. Maybe maybe I

653
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't have said it, Maybe I don't say it. It It happens.

654
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: But I've got everything's on the table for me on

655
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: this day, and I can't wait to hear what he

656
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: has to say. Would you put him in front of

657
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: the media, Well, he has to be, I mean, he

658
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: has to be and now should he? Should he speak now?

659
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: I just feel like, and Peter King said this earlier

660
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: day on PFT Live, the silence is deafening. And what

661
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: happens is when you choose not to speak in the

662
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: aftermath of something like this, you allow everyone else to

663
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: create the narrative. And the narrative is he's a big

664
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: fat liar. So if you've got an explanation, and I

665
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: hope he doesn't try to parse words and say that

666
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: immunized means something other than vaccinated. I mean, I've watched

667
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: that clip. You've seen that clip. Are you vaccinated? Yeah?

668
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: I've been immunized, And I'm not going to judge my

669
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: teammates who aren't vaccinated. I mean, he's telling the world

670
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: he's vaccinated by saying it that way, and if he

671
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: tries to navigate the words, that's not going to help him.

672
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm ready to have an open

673
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: mind whatever his explanation is. But The longer he waits,

674
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: the harder it's going to be to turn everything around.

675
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend, Mike. Thanks Dan,
