WEBVTT - 11/06/20 HOUR 3- Mike Florio

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. It's a meat Friday at that smoked cherry

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>bomb chicken on the trigger. Dann's have to wait forty

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>minutes or so before they get to dive. In Coming up,

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Mike Florio will join us. The Raiders got financially spanked yesterday.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Five hundred thousand dollars stripped of a sixth round pick

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>for more COVID nineteen violations, plus one hundred and fifty

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars fine for John Gruden. So you're talking about

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 1>over a million dollars so far. And this is punishment

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>for Trent Brown not wearing his tracking device at times

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>while at the team facility, testing positive after his teammates

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.160
<v Speaker 1>tested and as well as safety Jonathan Abram they were

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>in close proximity with him without mask on. So the

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>third time this season the Raiders have been punished for

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen violations. Hey, we lead the league in one category.

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>What's that be punished by the commissioner for COVID? And

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>this is a playoff caliber team. Remember Gruden was fined

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>for not consistently wearing his master in the Raiders season

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>opener against Carolina he was fined one hundred thousand dollars

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>for that team Find two hundred and fifty thousand. The

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>second punishment came after several players appeared at a charity

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>event without mask on. That's thirty thousand dollars for one player.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Other players, including Derek Carr, find fifteen thousand dollars. So

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that puts your grand total two over one million dollars.

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations Area Raiders, and this is a good team. I

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>think they're playoff caliber team. They're a good ish team,

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>played well in Cleveland last week and here we are again.

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>And this is what the NFL agreed upon, the players association,

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and the owners, everybody agreed on this. These are the protocols,

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and you have to adhere to these because if not,

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get a situation that is, it's not

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>quite what Wisconsin football is right now, but Wisconsin may

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>have to shut down their season. If you're not going

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to follow these protocols, chances are you're putting your season

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>at risk and the NFL will just not stand for that.

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, the nc DOABLEA isn't finding or you know,

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>taking away whatever scholarship from Wisconsin. But if I'm the NCAA.

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I would look into that because and I don't know

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>if they have the power to it. I'm guessing or

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the Big Ten should be looking at this. You have

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to police your own conference, your own schools. Look at

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>what happened in the Pac twelve already. They haven't even

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 1>played yet a game. Cancel Cow. How is it Cow

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>can't play a game with positives but basically in the

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>same area the Niners could play last night with positives.

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's just the difference between the NFL and

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Pack twelve football and the amount of money that's at

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>staked there. But last night, Aaron Rodgers looked brilliant four

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes and he had this to say, you know,

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>we've gotten off to a good start every single week

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.399
<v Speaker 1>and that's been important for our football team. Yeah, that's

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>been you know, the scripting than Matt does. And then

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we've just kind of out and executed really well. In

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the last two and a half years, he's had seventy

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 1>five touchdown passes and eight interceptions. Hey, let's draft a quarterback. Hey,

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what we need on this team. A quarterback.

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>No one's gonna see it coming. Yeah, and the Packers

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>select Jordan Love out of Utah State. Yes, I did

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>watch Utah State last night against Nevada. Good good helmets.

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah State, Yeah, it was good. It was fun. Good

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to watch some football and Boise State and by you

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>will be on my TV set coming up tonight. Clemson

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame. Now it's down to five. It was seven,

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Now it's down to five. Florida Georgia. I just like

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>saying Florida Georgia line. Todd always goes, wait, what are

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you talking about? I go, know the group, Florida Georgia line,

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and then Todd always give me the point spread. It's

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>just us Todd having a little fun there. Michigan and Indiana. Yeah,

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Michigan three and a half, last hour. This is one

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of the better teases I've had since I've been doing this,

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and I've been doing this a long time. Ryan and

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Honolulu called in, and I was up against a hard out,

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>as we like to say in the radio industry. So

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I was going to commercial break. I had to be

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>out at the certain time, and you know, Ryan, one

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>of our long time listeners, and I said, look, you're

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to wait till next hour to give us

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the mock headlines that you have, and I think that

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.799
<v Speaker 1>kept a lot of people in their cars. So people probably,

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, five minutes late for work right now. But

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Ryan joining us from our honolul affiliate. Ryan, thanks for

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>staying with us in the final hour. You're welcome. Dan.

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm an amateur. I can handle it, Okay. So I've

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of comments on Todd and then I've

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.239
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of mock horse lines to finish off with. Okay,

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:20.120

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:24.839

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>booker in the bits. Yes, yes, he did win. Now,

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you guys talked about complimenting. Now you gotta compliment your

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>wife because I tell her she's pretty every day. You

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have to lie when it's the truth. Now, I

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>was blessed to meet with Todd and his family in

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Hawaii when he came, and he has a beautiful family

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and they were amazing last year. And see over complimenting

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>his good Todd, didn't that feel good? Didn't that make

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you feel good? It did make me feel very good,

0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>very warm feeling. And I'll do a hard hour here

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Mark horse lines Stallion of the Day first time for

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a long time, and this one for Poli fol Liage.

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, I think that's I think that's a trot

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>off Dan. All right, thank you Ryan. That's Ryan in Honolulu.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that you had met with Ryan. I

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>went to a University of Honolulu Hawaii basketball game while

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>we won vacation and you met Ryan, and Ryan was there,

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>introduced me to his lovely wife and I we did

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit in like between the seats. They did

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>like a little interview with me. It was very nice.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine you go to Hawaii with your wife

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and you say, you know what, let's don't go to

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the beach, Let's go inside and watch a basketball game.

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>The girls weren't as excited as my son and I were,

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>but like it was like one of those classic things

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 1>with like with other schools. It wasn't just like the

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>University of Hawaiian there were like teams from around the

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>country doing one of those like the Maui Classic. Thay. Yeah,

0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that made it that much more excited for

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>my wife and we got through it all right. Well,

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>that's that's Ryan. Ryan and Hollolulu. Yes, Ryan, the Fritzie

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of callers, the Golden Booker. You know. By the way,

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Ryan bringing up something we mentioned two hours ago, which

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't always translate to the audience listening. If Todd had

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>done that, looks like Ryan just did. He would have

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>been spoken to. Yes, Todd, No one even knows what

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they're talking about, right, Yes, yes, those two hours ago Todd. Yeah,

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>no one even knows what that means. Yeah, But Ryan, Ryan,

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>No one even knows what that means. Yan. I don't

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>know Ryan. I didn't meet him in a basketball game,

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>so I can't say, Ryan, you can't do that. You

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>got to be topical right down, not something happened two

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>hours ago. You're better than that. Uh, Packers roll over

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the Niners and Davante Adams. I guess grabbing some headlines.

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we were just trying to grab something out of

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 1>this game other than Aaron Rodgers is still really, really,

0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>really good. But here's the question and the answer that's

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>creating some headlines here. I think you're at the point

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>where you can say you're the best wide receiver in

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. Do you think that's fair to say? Uh? Yeah,

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's fair to say, I think that's not

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that's not being conceited, that's just being confident. I think, Um,

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you know obviously what I've what I've done, and UM,

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>what I'm going to continue to do is going to

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>prove that, um to anybody who isn't on board with that.

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>But I truly believe that just based off of the

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.239
<v Speaker 1>work that I put in. Um, you know, the connection

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that I have between my quarterback. You know, it's not

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>just about me, I mean just running a route and uh, yeah,

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.959
<v Speaker 1>you get you get the gist of it. Yeah, I

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's boasting. He's confident, and the reporter is

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>leading the witness to basically saying, hey, do you want

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to agree with me, you're the best receiver in football?

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 1>I would hope my receiver if it's Davante Adams or

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, we go around the league and uh, you know,

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>there's quite a few of those. DeAndre Hopkins, none of

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the Bears wide receivers, they answer a question that way.

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I can guarantee you there's there's a few teams if

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.439
<v Speaker 1>you ask the wide receivers, you're the best wide receiver.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.719
<v Speaker 1>But Davonte Adams has put up these big numbers I

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>mean these I'm surprised when he doesn't put up these numbers.

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>But it always feels like Green Bay wide receivers get

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>overshadowed by Aaron Rodgers and Brett Farve. Now they are

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>lifted up by them, so they're overshadowed. But then I

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>can also say, but because of Aaron Rodgers, you know,

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>if you have somebody else in there as Davante Adams

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the same wide receiver, no he's not. But you're playing

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>with Aaron Rodgers and those who played with Brett Farve,

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you were you were going to get the ball. You

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>were playing in big games, you're playing on national TV.

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.319
<v Speaker 1>You get a lot of a lot of publicity, and

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>you know there's some nice, you know, wide receivers there.

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.079
<v Speaker 1>I thought that Sterling Sharpe was a wonderful receiver and

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>headed to the Hall of Fame before he got injured.

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.599
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, you know, it doesn't feel like

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>these receivers get elevated to the point where we go

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.599
<v Speaker 1>they're the best in football. The group always feels like

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it can be one of the best groups in football,

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 1>But singularly you don't feel that way. But with Davante Adams,

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>he wants to, you know, look at himself as the

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>best receiver. Great. I love when you walk on the

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.839
<v Speaker 1>field and you want to prove it. You feel like

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you have to prove it every week. Yeah, can I

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>ruin your Friday with the system argument? Yes you can.

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>It feels like there's certain teams where the wide receivers

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.079
<v Speaker 1>leave and they stink like there's an even Eli Manning,

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Like there's all these giants receivers have huge numbers in

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>that system, then got paid and fell apart. The Steelers

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>bad elsewhere, the Patriots terrible elsewhere, the Packers so like

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>this certain like you know, it's like you don't trade

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>for a Braves pitcher. You don't want a Steelers receiver,

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>you don't want a Patriots receiver. So there's got to

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.719
<v Speaker 1>be like a connection there. Well, it's hard to be

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>a great receiver with an average quarterback, right absolutely, But like, yeah,

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Marry Fitzgerald survived. He's such a miracle because of that, yes,

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean he did have Carson Palmer and

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>he had Kurt Warner, but you look at those other quarterbacks.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.679
<v Speaker 1>You have to have a great quarterback there. I mean,

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you could have receivers in Chicago, who might be good,

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you just don't have a good quarterback there, And you

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>could be great in Jacksonville. And Alan Robinson was really

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>talented there. Nobody cared. It's like, you'd be good in Chicago,

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>He's just he doesn't have a quarterback. Yeah, but Santonio

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Holmes gets fifty million after being with Big Ben and

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 1>is a complete bus with the Jets. You know, sometimes

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you can overrate the guy maybe who is his quarterback? Yeah,

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.439
<v Speaker 1>with the Jets, Yeah, nobody. I don't no idea. If

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you're playing a lot of things. There's there's so many

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>things that factor into this. You're not just this singular

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 1>talent there where. If there's a basketball team and there's

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>five guys, the one guy can take you to the

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>next level. In football, how good is my offensive line?

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>How good is my quarterback? Who's my offensive coordinator? What

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>is the system that we play? If I look back

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>on Seattle, if DK Metcalf played with Seattle two years

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>or three years ago, they might be still just running

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the football and we wouldn't know about DK Metcalf. They

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>had Tyler Lockett and that was it, and they get

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>DK Metcalf, who drops to them now? All of a sudden,

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>they're a passing team. Yeah. Point, It's almost like a

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>psycho though. If you're a team with a great quarterback,

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.719
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to spend on the receivers because you know,

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you just need good receivers. You don't need to spend

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>on great You can go back to Dion Branch. Remember

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>when he broke out with the Patriots. What twelve thirteen

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 1>years ago, I was a Super Bowl MVP. I think

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>he was a household named Dion Branch and they said,

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna get paid here, I'm gonna go to

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Seattle and get paid. And he became irrelevant. He became

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:54.719
<v Speaker 1>good but irrelevant. Yeah, yeah, I'm a club. There was

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>some thinking DeAndre Hopkins, well, you know what, if he

0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.199
<v Speaker 1>leaves to Shawn Watton, he's gonna not be that good

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and doubt that he was that good. You know, sometimes

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>a guy leaves a good quarterback and is go to

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>another good quarterback. It's great, but there are a lot

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of people say, wow, I don't know if Hopkins is

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.320
<v Speaker 1>could be as good outside the Texas well, he has

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray, and Kyler Murray can can run end throw.

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know how good, consistent. He would be at throwing,

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>but he's capable of doing that. DeAndre Hopkins is on

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the shortlist best receivers in the game. Yes, I I

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>think an interesting one is Michael Thomas because he's well,

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.559
<v Speaker 1>we're going to find out. Yeah, if if Taysom Hill

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>is his quarterback next year, I'm not looking at one

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty catches from Michael Thomas. If we did

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>this pole last year at this time with Michael Thomas,

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:47.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe with it, yes, yeah, because it felt like you

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>knew he was getting it. And he's one of those

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>guys that not beating you with speed, he beats you

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>with position. He like he finds, he finds spaces or

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>he creates space, and you know, extremely difficult. And Chris

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Carter was like this. Chris Carter wasn't going to run

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 1>by you, but he was had that ability. If you

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 1>threw it, he was catching it and creating space there. Yeah,

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Taysom Hill fan. I think he's very underused.

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.559
<v Speaker 1>He should be a running back, receiver, slot guy. I'm

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 1>ready to go shower pie in the face on under

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 1>seven and a half games started at quarterback for his

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 1>entire career for Taysom Hill. He's thirty years old. He's

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>at Nune so far, you're taking under seven and a

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 1>half total starts starting quarterback position. Quarterback position, not like

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 1>coming into a game at halftime where he is the

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>declared starter for a team. Anybody want to take Paulie

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>up a pie to the face Taysom Hill. Anybody a

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Taysom Hill fan in here. He'll be thirty one next

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>year and has had no starts. He hasn't played quarterback

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>since like twenty twelve. You're banking on Taysom Hill not

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>being the starting quarterback next year when Drew Breeseley. I

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think they're going to go that direction because then

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that's a rebuild. See. I think Jameis Winston is their

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>their quarterback of the future if he's a quarterback. Looking

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>at the roster, Jameis Winston makes more sense than Taysom

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>He'd be like saying, we're gonna put Jameis Winston at

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>tight end. Well, he's a big guy. He could probably

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>catch like a page. He should have just stuck with

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Julian Edelman and had him at quarterback. Taysom was pretty

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>competitive in college, but he was a He was a

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>half back playing or a fullback playing quarterback. Jesse and

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles, Hi, Jess, what's on your mind today? Happy

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 1>positively Friday gents. It's always great to hear from guys

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>like the old Guard, guys like Mustard, you know, Van

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Michaels and Bob Mucker, people like them in sports their

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 1>national treasures. So thank you for that. But that's not

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>on Roger's projection. Forty eight tds to four interceptions. Now,

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously you don't expect that to hold, but if it did,

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>that's insane. And I have one more thing for you guys,

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>polite Friday in mind, there's no question you guys are

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the best sports talk show on the air. I mean,

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you guys got Elmer Fudd doing mock horse racing names

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's incredible content whether it's good or bad. And

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Todd with one D you did well today, my man.

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 1>You guys are the best, hands down. Thank you, Thank you, Jesse.

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 1>We appreciate that. Yeah, Todd looks like Elmer Fudd with

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>his outfit today. I did get the look. She didn't

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>just give me a look when the wife actually said,

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>what's what the Elmer Fudd get up? And uh, I

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>just rolled with it. Now you're you're all in. You're

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>all in with my best pro shops Cabella hand. I

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>went a little too crazy made with the red and

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>black flannel scheme to look like an old Bugs Bunny character.

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>But I feel good on Friday with that. If you

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.560
<v Speaker 1>had the hat with the flaps on it, the ear flaps,

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, the winter hat, I could see that, you know,

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>And you had your gun, I could see you out

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 1>there a little musket looking around. Uh Perry and Alabama.

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey Perry, first time callar six foot two sixty five.

0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I wanted your opinion on something. All right? All right,

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>j mccarein is sitting on the bench in Houston, and

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>his go to receiver Alabama was Amoy Cooper, who's going

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to be the second all time touchdown career leader after

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 1>the LSU game. Now you got three backup quarterbacks in

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Dallas that really don't amount to anything. Why don't Jerry

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Jones go get mccair and at least try to save

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the season. What else? How bad could it possibly get? Well?

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for the phone, called Perry. I don't know what

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 1>he would cost you, and I don't know how much

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones wants to salvage this season. You don't have

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.159
<v Speaker 1>a fan base showing up your normal fan base. You

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:45.159
<v Speaker 1>don't have to play kate to them. But I I

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:46.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much they want to win right now.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Because even if you if you feel like you could

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>get healthy by the end of the year and you

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>win the division, host a playoff game, and you could

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 1>actually win that playoff game, then I could understand where

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go all out and maybe bring in another quarterback.

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming Andy Dalton will come back from this concussion.

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you look at AJ McCarron just

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.879
<v Speaker 1>because he played, you know, college ball with Mariy Cooper,

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 1>what's he gonna bring out the best in Marie Cooper?

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know is Aj McCarron he didn't start

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 1>over Andy Dalton in Cincinnati. Yeah. You know one guy

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>that they probably could have with Josh McCown who was

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>on the Eagles practice squad and just signed with the Texans,

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And I think I know he's in Texas. I thought

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 1>that was a name they might look at forty one

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>or so. Yeah. Yeah, but I don't know how invested

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones is in this season now because it's super Bowl.

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not just winning the division. This was about winning

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl with Jerry. He spent all the money.

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 1>We dealt with Dak's contract on and off for eighteen months.

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>It felt like, Okay, I got Dak at least under

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>contract for one year. We're all in, I'm in a

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 1>bad division. We're going to breeze through this, and you

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>know we're going to be the team to beat in

0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the NFC, and then you have this. I don't know

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.400
<v Speaker 1>if he just says, you know what, let's just kind

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.120
<v Speaker 1>of go through the motions, get through the season, try

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 1>not to lose too many more players to injury. But

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how motivated is at this age. I

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Take a break. Mike Florio on loan from

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>to join us. What did the Raiders do wrong and

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>did it warrant that kind of punishment? Well, Dan, it

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 1>all flows from the Trent Brown positive test that was

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>followed by Trent Brown not wearing a contact tracing device,

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.440
<v Speaker 1>which is one of the key mechanisms for determining who

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 1>was exposed to a player who eventually test positive. That

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 1>was part of it, and it was an accumulation of

0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the various things we've seen the Raiders punished. Fourth from

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.160
<v Speaker 1>John Gruden not wearing a mask that was three hundred

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and fifty thousand dollars in total fines, and unauthorized person

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room that was another fifty thousand dollars fine.

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.640
<v Speaker 1>The event where several players were present in a confined

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>space with too many people and no masks in sight,

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 1>players were fined for that. So this is that system

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of progressive discipline the NFL uses. When the first effort

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't take, they hit you a little harder than next time,

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and they'll keep hitting you harder and harder. So this

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 1>time six hundred and fifty thousand dollars in fines, a

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 1>sixth round draft pick goes away, and if they don't

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>straighten up, there will be more punishments and they will

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 1>be more severe. And the draft pick usually is what

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>gets a team's attention. They don't like giving up those

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 1>unscratched lottery tickets that can become anything. They don't want

0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to have those stripped away from them. I don't know

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 1>if his comments matched the headline, and it was fair

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 1>to Davante Adams. He was asked basically, are you know

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 1>are you the best wide receiver in football? And he

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 1>said yes, and then he explained why he thought he was.

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I have no problem with it. It's like we criticize

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the athlete when he doesn't say anything, and when he

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 1>does say we criticize him for saying something. Davante Adams,

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Is he the best receiver? If I Okay,

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>here's the question we had earlier, Mike, you can have

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 1>any receiver, any receiver for the next four years. The

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>cost is the same. Who would you take? Dk Metcalf?

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Without question? Dk Metcalf, That's who won the poll. Yeah, yeah,

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:27.120
<v Speaker 1>without question. But I don't have a problem with Davantae

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Adams saying he thinks he's the best receiver because you

0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>need to believe that in order to put that uniform on,

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>in order to cross that thick white stripe and go

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.639
<v Speaker 1>onto the field and accept the various physical risks that

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you're taking every time you play, and to play at

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the highest possible level, you need to have confidence that

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 1>borders on delusion and sometimes crosses over into delusion. I'm

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.679
<v Speaker 1>sure there are plenty of receivers not as good as

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Davantae Adams or DK Metcalf that would say, yeah, I

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>think I'm the best. You have to think you're the best,

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think one of the key ingredients and for

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the best receivers that we see now is not being

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.360
<v Speaker 1>a first round draft pick, because not being a first

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:10.680
<v Speaker 1>round draft pick lights a fire under these guys. Davante

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:13.159
<v Speaker 1>Adams was a second round pick. Michael Thomas, who was

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 1>motivated and like anyone else at the position, second round

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 1>draft pick saw receivers that he looks at and says,

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm better than them go before him. He came at

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Calf said yesterday it was a blessing in disguise that

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.920
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't a first round pick because it caused him

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to not take for granted the opportunity in Seattle, bust

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>his ass and be who he is now. Should that

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:37.280
<v Speaker 1>game have been played last night, Well it depends on

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:41.680
<v Speaker 1>which team you ask. Well, the Packers getting Aaron Jones

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>back certainly helped, but right I just it felt it

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:48.719
<v Speaker 1>was a bad look for the NFL. In my opinion.

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Here's the problem. When the NFL has an opportunity to

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.640
<v Speaker 1>move forward with a game, it is going to move

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 1>forward with the game. Because if you bump this game

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:04.639
<v Speaker 1>to Sunday, Monday or Tuesday in order to allow the

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 1>forty nine ers to get back Trent Williams, who was

0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:12.400
<v Speaker 1>removed from the game because he possibly was in sufficiently

0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 1>close contact with Kendrick Bourne to end up getting COVID

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:18.920
<v Speaker 1>nineteen or Brandon I, first round draft pick receiver who's

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 1>done a great job for them. If you get those

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:23.439
<v Speaker 1>guys back, okay, fine, But the problem is between now

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.439
<v Speaker 1>and Sunday or Monday or Tuesday, the forty nine ers

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.679
<v Speaker 1>could find out that there are other problems and they

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:31.920
<v Speaker 1>could get to a point, well, you can't play that game,

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 1>then what do you do? Then that becomes the first

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.440
<v Speaker 1>game of the eighteenth week of the season that we

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:40.399
<v Speaker 1>believe is inevitable, but they want to resist it as

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:42.119
<v Speaker 1>long as they can. So we saw this for the

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>first time Dan with the Buccaneers Raiders game. They went

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.400
<v Speaker 1>forward even though the Raiders had their starting offensive line

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>unavailable until Saturday or Sunday morning, I think it was

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Saturday morning. They weren't prepared and they got blown out.

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 1>But the NFL got to play the game. The NFL

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>got to cash the check from the networks. I think

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a big factor in all of this. Even though

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you know you don't want to make it all about money.

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:08.639
<v Speaker 1>They want to get these games in because they want

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.159
<v Speaker 1>their money, and they got their money last night for

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:14.680
<v Speaker 1>having the Packers forty nine Ers game on Fox. And

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>if you would delayed that game, there's no guarantee that

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get that game in. Is that how

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:24.359
<v Speaker 1>it works that NBC will write a check weekly to

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the NFL? No, No, I'm okay. I was thinking, Wow,

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm making it as simple as possible and

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>as linear as possible, and it's probably not that way

0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>right if games are ultimately lost at a time when

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>there are broader negotiations happening with all the networks. I

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know that there's a rebate per se that would

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 1>go back to the networks. But you avoid that conversation

0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 1>entirely if you're the NFL, if you deliver all two

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty six games, which do they have a

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:54.239
<v Speaker 1>strong motivation to do? I mentioned this yesterday. There are

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 1>two things I know that are true in the NFL.

0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I know that the City Chiefs are the best team

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:04.920
<v Speaker 1>right now, and I know that the Jets are the

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:09.160
<v Speaker 1>worst team in the NFL. I don't know much in between. Mike,

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:13.040
<v Speaker 1>do you have any definitives where you say absolutely positively.

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I know this. No, it's great, and anytime you try

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:17.879
<v Speaker 1>to do that, that's when you find out that you

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:23.920
<v Speaker 1>know nothing. And I will agree that the Chiefs are

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>on paper the best team, But I don't know what

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:30.640
<v Speaker 1>would happen if you put the Chiefs on the same

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:34.320
<v Speaker 1>field as the Steelers right now, because the Stealers have

0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 1>something and Dan. I think it was born in last

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:39.760
<v Speaker 1>year's adversity and the way they dealt with not having

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberger and had to have a couple of what

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 1>team did you grow up a fan of? No No.

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I grew up sixty miles from Pittsburgh, but I had

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to be different. I had to be a contrarian, so

0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like the Steelers. I wish I had. It

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 1>would have been great seventies for me for Super Bowl trophies.

0:27:56.119 --> 0:28:02.640
<v Speaker 1>But I think that I've been around Pittsburgh my entire life.

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I know how this team works, and I think what

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>they went through last year planted the seeds for this

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>year because they have Ben back, and they fight and

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 1>they scratch and they claw. I watched that Raven Steelers

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 1>game back on Monday. I don't know how they hell

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers won. But you know what, throw out all

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the stats. Only one matters points scored points aloud, and

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>they keep finding a way to do it. So I

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:26.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like if they played the Chiefs right now, they'd

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>find a way to outscore the Chiefs, even if the

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs would be going up and down the field all

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:35.120
<v Speaker 1>day long with Patrick Mum. Maybe. Yeah. I came into

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.399
<v Speaker 1>this season I said the Steelers are the most fascinating

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 1>team to me because I thought they had everything. They

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>just needed Ben to be healthy. And Ben has stayed healthy,

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 1>and here they are undefeated. You're a good friend. Aaron Rodgers.

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>In the last two and a half years, seventy five touchdowns,

0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>eight interceptions. Hey look, I have become a tremendous Aaron

0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers fan. And I think part of it is hanging

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 1>around Chris sim every day because he regards Aaron Rodgers

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 1>as the greatest quarterback of all time over his own

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 1>father Phil. And also I think that he was done

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>wrong by the Packers earlier this year, which makes him

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:15.720
<v Speaker 1>more sympathetic. I don't think they should have drafted a quarterback.

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 1>They should have gotten him help at receiver, and I

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 1>think that makes these last years of his in Green Bay. However,

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 1>many there will be more compelling and it makes me

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 1>want to see him do well. And I think he

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>has incredible physical gifts and he's done more with limited

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 1>talent around him, and I think any quarterback has in

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>recent memory. So yeah, I think he's tremendous. And last

0:29:37.000 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 1>night it was great to see what they were able

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>to do. Now it's hard to tell against the forty

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>nine Ers B team, but I like what the Packers

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>have and I just wish he had more help around

0:29:45.680 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 1>him because he'd have a better chance to add to

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 1>his legacy. Yeah, and we look at these quarterbacks. You

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Drew Brees is probably going to end up with one

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl. Farv had one super Bowl. Rodgers may end

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 1>up with just one super Bowl. What is that second

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl mean? Do you think the perception wise of

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback? Well, I don't know. Maybe we want to

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>ask Jim Plunkett that because he's got two and he's

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>never mentioned as a potential Hall of Famer, and he's

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 1>got two super Bowl wins that he earned as the

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 1>quarterback of the Raiders. But I think it does start

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to separate you from the pack of grats. You know,

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 1>there's this echelon of quarterbacks, and Tom Brady has become

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I think once he got to five the guy that

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 1>we would admit is the greatest of all time at

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the position. Once he gets to six, I think the

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 1>debate ends. But then you start filling in under that

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and super bowls are part of it. Statistical achievement, longevity

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 1>is part of it. There are different ways that you

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.120
<v Speaker 1>can look at it. Brady was the first one to

0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>unite championships, longevity and statistical achievement. But yeah, they look

0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:50.000
<v Speaker 1>they all want as many as they can. Ben Roethlisberger

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 1>said before the season, Dan, he wants to win super Bowls.

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't want just one more, he wants two more

0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 1>or more than two more. I mean, that's the way

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 1>these guys are wired. It's the Davante ad thing. They

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:02.479
<v Speaker 1>all want to be the best every time. They want

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to win every game. They want to win every championship,

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's got to torment them if they only have

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>one when their otherwise great career ends. The Dolphins situation

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>with twa Adam Schefter reported that they basically this a

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 1>ten game trial for him because they have all these

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.560
<v Speaker 1>draft picks, including the Texans, and that they might be

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 1>in the market for a quarterback, which, all right, it

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:28.040
<v Speaker 1>surprised me, but it was schefty reporting it. Brian Flores,

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins coach, comes out and says, you know, we're

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>not doing this, not that he would say, yes, they

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>aren't doing this, but what do you what do you

0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 1>make of this situation with Tua tonga volo? Is he

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:44.400
<v Speaker 1>auditioning to keep this job next year? And Dan, look,

0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't really think we need a report from anyone

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 1>to lead us to the common sensical conclusion that when

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:57.480
<v Speaker 1>you are holding the Houston Texans first round draft pick

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and they currently are in the top five in a

0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.960
<v Speaker 1>field that's going to have Trevor Lawrence and justin fields,

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 1>you need to know what you have. You need to

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 1>know what Tua is. And look, here's the reality. Tua

0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:15.040
<v Speaker 1>tong Ofvloa was an ownership pick by the Dolphins this year.

0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't a coaching staff GM. Who's the best guy,

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 1>what's our best option? The owner wants a franchise quarterback.

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>The Bengals said no, thank you. When the Dolphins tried

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to trade up. I still don't know what the Dolphins offered,

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 1>but the Bengals said no, so Stephen Ross wants his

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 1>franchise quarterback. They picked Tua over Justin Herbert may have

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 1>been a mistake based upon what we've seen from Herbert

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>so far. The next ten games will tell us, but

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 1>they have to know what Tua has. They have to

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 1>see what Tua can do, because maybe there's going to

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 1>be a josh Roseen Kyler Murray situation for the Dolphins

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 1>next year. And you only know whether or not to

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 1>pursue that potential franchise quarterback by looking at what you

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:00.800
<v Speaker 1>have and the guy that you think could be your

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>franchise quarterback. And Dan Look, there's three types of teams

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. Teams that have franchise quarterbacks, teams desperately

0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>looking for franchise quarterbacks, and teams that have a guy

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>that they're not quite sure yet whether he is a

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 1>franchise quarterback. Dolphins are in category number three. They need

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:17.720
<v Speaker 1>to know whether they're in category one or category two

0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 1>before they're on the clock with the Texans pick. When

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:23.240
<v Speaker 1>April rolls around, I think it's a no brainer that

0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 1>this is what they're doing, because you want the guy

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:28.040
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be your guy for the next fifteen

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:32.280
<v Speaker 1>or twenty years Andrew Siciliano tweeting Mike McCarthy still won't

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>name a starting quarterback for Week nine for the Cowboys.

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 1>If you ran the Cowboys right now, what would you

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 1>do well? I would have signed Colin Kaepernick a long

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:45.760
<v Speaker 1>time ago to be the backup to Dak Prescott, frankly

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>instead of Andy Dalton. So if Kaepernick were healthy, he'd

0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 1>be playing right now because Prescott's not available. But based

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 1>on what I currently have, you just have to hope

0:33:57.400 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 1>for the best because it's not like you could sign

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a guy bring him in right now because of the

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen protocols. It's not like you could have an

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 1>emergency option today and bring a guy in. You're stuck

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:11.560
<v Speaker 1>with Garrett Gilbert or Cooper Rush. You've decided Bend Nucci's

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:13.959
<v Speaker 1>not the answer, and you just hope for the best.

0:34:14.080 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know, Jerry Jones I heard the last segment

0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:20.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about what the Cowboys are doing. Jerry Jones has

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:24.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of words salad radio interviews every week on

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:26.799
<v Speaker 1>one O five three the Fan in Dallas, and it's

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a fascinating exercise in let's figure out what Jerry is

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 1>actually saying and a lot of times you can't. But

0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 1>he talked about this concept of possibly tanking, and he

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:39.600
<v Speaker 1>danced around it. I mean, look, tanking never happens from

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the perspective of the player or the coach, although sometimes

0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the coach is in on it if he's got job security.

0:34:44.800 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Tanking happens when you decide to see what your third

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:52.200
<v Speaker 1>string quarterback can do, what your backup defensive back can do,

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 1>what your backup offensive lineman can do, and then it

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:58.440
<v Speaker 1>just kind of takes its course. And if you're the

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys right now, you know it's done, and you know

0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you look, it's just done. If you're watching the Cowboys,

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:05.959
<v Speaker 1>it's done. Yeah, they could still win the division. Okay, fine,

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it's done for the Cowboys this year. Once you know

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 1>what's done, you win by losing, You gain in the

0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:17.879
<v Speaker 1>draft order by plummeting in the standings. And the NFL

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:20.080
<v Speaker 1>never talks about that because they don't want to legitimize it.

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think Jerry Jones is smart enough to know

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>he's got one of these weird years where the team's

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:25.960
<v Speaker 1>going belly up. The last time they had a year

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:28.360
<v Speaker 1>like this, they got Ezekie Elliott. They may get somebody

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 1>great this year, and wouldn't that be something If the

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are in position to decide, do we take Trevor Lawrence,

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 1>do we take Justin Fields, or do we pay Dak

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Prescott thirty seven million dollars for one more year in

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one. If I said you could have Dak

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:46.239
<v Speaker 1>or Justin Fields, I'd take Dak because we don't know

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:48.279
<v Speaker 1>what Justin Fields is going to be. We just don't know.

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to spend thirty seven million dollars. Well,

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that's a different issue. You didn't tell me of what

0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:57.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pay. Do I want right Do I want

0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys situation right now? Given the way they've managed

0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>it for the last two years and not paid Dac

0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the moment that the window opened on a second contract.

0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want that situation because here's the thing. Thirty

0:36:08.600 --> 0:36:11.399
<v Speaker 1>seven million is just the starting point. I can't tag

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:13.759
<v Speaker 1>him in twenty twenty two because he gets a forty

0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 1>four percent raise over thirty seven million. That's fifty four

0:36:16.880 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 1>million in twenty twenty two, So I can't do that.

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking Justin Fields under that scenario. But you always

0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:26.160
<v Speaker 1>take the proven guy over the unproven guy. If you

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 1>have the cap space and the cash to pay. The

0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>proven guy. Always great to talk to you. We appreciate

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:32.800
<v Speaker 1>your time. Have a great weekend. Mike, all right, Daniel

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:11.440
<v Speaker 1>from Chloe Chloe Huntman in Memphis, Tennessee. She wanted to

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:15.880
<v Speaker 1>give a shout out to her boyfriend David, and Mario

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:17.920
<v Speaker 1>just handed this to him. So I'm not sure why

0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:19.440
<v Speaker 1>she wants him to get a shout out, but he

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:22.040
<v Speaker 1>got it. Chloe goes on to say about David, he

0:37:22.440 --> 0:37:28.360
<v Speaker 1>is second year internal medicine resident physician and he cares

0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 1>for multiple COVID positive patients every day in the hospital.

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:35.280
<v Speaker 1>He took care of the very first COVID nineteen patient

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:38.560
<v Speaker 1>in Memphis. He listens to the show every morning getting

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.719
<v Speaker 1>ready for work, and I know it brings him such

0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:43.800
<v Speaker 1>joy if you could give him a shout out. Also

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:46.800

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:52.560

0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:02.919

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh let's see, let's go home for phone. I love

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:23.400
<v Speaker 1>when Seaton just here's enough of a comment where he

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:30.600
<v Speaker 1>pops his head up. Yeah, uh, yes, Seaton. And if

0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:33.400

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:45.440
<v Speaker 1>phone calls. Let's close up shop here George in Ohio. Hey, George,

0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:50.640
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today? Hey? Good morning? Hey, another

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 1>shot out for Todd. WHOA okay he could. I'm a

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 1>little late with this, but he I know, he gets

0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to tease a lot about the mock headlines and trying

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to be funny and everything. But earlier in the week

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the Harry Carey story, I mean, oh man, I was

0:39:06.280 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 1>just laughing so hard. I think it's the funniest thing

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:13.359
<v Speaker 1>he's ever done, except with a Chrissie Diggan. Oh man. Well,

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:16.839
<v Speaker 1>George's George has been around for a long time. Thank you, George. Yeah,

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:20.479
<v Speaker 1>when Fritzie would, when Chrissy Tegan would would visit the show,

0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I'd lose Todd. I remember when you were lying on

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the couch and singing to her. Yeah, that was a

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:30.440
<v Speaker 1>good time. Not for her. By the way, here the

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys options this week. Garrett Gilbert hasn't completed a pass

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL in six hundred seventy nine days. Cooper

0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Rush hasn't completed an NFL pass in one one hundred

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and thirteen days. I hope on Monday that's still not

0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the case for at least one of them. I hope

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:54.120
<v Speaker 1>they complete a pass coming up this weekend against the Steelers.

0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Esteban in California. Esteban has a bet with Fritzie. I

0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:01.680
<v Speaker 1>think it's I find over nine and a half. Oh no,

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:04.719
<v Speaker 1>it's Paulieu that the Raiders will end up with at

0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:08.040
<v Speaker 1>least ten wins this year. Hey, Asketebon, how are you doing? Dan?

0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, gentlemen. I was I was calling to uh

0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:15.160
<v Speaker 1>just a couple of points. I wanted to know what

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Brent would think about my bet. That would be funny.

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.040
<v Speaker 1>We can call him up and find his thoughts on that.

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you would take it or not. Uh.

0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Number two uh is I don't think we made any

0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:29.719
<v Speaker 1>trades as a Raider fan because we knew we were

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:31.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna find all this money. We just had no money

0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:35.400
<v Speaker 1>to make any trades. Um. And then and then lastly,

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 1>is you know in a in a twenty twenty type

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of scenario, if the Raiders were to get their hands

0:40:40.520 --> 0:40:44.440
<v Speaker 1>on Davante Adams and marry up David Carr or Derek

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Carr and DeVante Adams again from from college days, how

0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:50.400
<v Speaker 1>good would the Raiders be this year. That would be

0:40:50.880 --> 0:40:56.319
<v Speaker 1>that would be nice, thank you, asked Debon. Yeah, yeah,

0:40:58.239 --> 0:41:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I didn't see that one coming. That all

0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, You're gonna get Davante Adams from the Packers.

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna guess that seems unlikely. Kyle in California, Hi, Kyle,

0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:09.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you have for me? Ay BP? I was

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:15.399
<v Speaker 1>just thinking maybe the Cowboys could grab Aaron Rodgers. Maybe

0:41:15.440 --> 0:41:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a little Julio Jones in there too. Yeah, I think

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that that worked. According to Sabon's logic, it can happen anyway.

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:27.360
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about the Cowboys in like at the beginning

0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of the season, they were a Super Bowl pick, and

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:32.239
<v Speaker 1>now it seems they're so freaking far away. I mean,

0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:34.719
<v Speaker 1>if you thank for Trevor, I don't know what that

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 1>stops giving out forty points a game. The old line sucks,

0:41:38.520 --> 0:41:41.040
<v Speaker 1>they're injured. I mean, it went from a team that

0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 1>was so close to a team that seems so far

0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>away with a lot of holes unless we can get

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers. Thank you, Kyle, have a good weekend. I

0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:55.680
<v Speaker 1>got a trade for you. I remember when we get

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:58.200
<v Speaker 1>those phone calls. I was thinking maybe and it was

0:41:58.280 --> 0:42:02.520
<v Speaker 1>always how does this benefit the Yankees. I was thinking,

0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:06.359
<v Speaker 1>we give up Louis Soho for Big Poppy, I'll hang

0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:10.840
<v Speaker 1>up and listen. I'm like, no, no, we give up

0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:15.359
<v Speaker 1>job at Chamberlain for Roger Clemens, I'll hang up and listen. Todd,

<v Speaker 1>was in Atlanta and somebody said, you want to go

0:42:24.280 --> 0:42:25.919
<v Speaker 1>shoe shopping? And I go, I don't have any money,

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:29.720
<v Speaker 1>because just bring singles. I go, what, yeah, shoe shopping

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:32.360
