Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I am Ahmed Freed, first time here, first
Speaker 1: time in the man Cave. So we have pretty good
Speaker 1: studios at NBC Sports. I mean the Premier League studio,
Speaker 1: which I've been in. I've been locked in that like
Speaker 1: the last five days. Huge TV's in there. Huge TV
Speaker 1: is in the background everywhere, and it's like, I've never
Speaker 1: seen a studio like that before. So I walked into that.
Speaker 1: I was intimidated. I walk in here. We have basketball courts,
Speaker 1: we got helmets everywhere, and then I just saw this,
Speaker 1: my favorite player of all time. I'm from Michigan. Barry
Speaker 1: Sanders signed jersey on the wall. Are you're gonna try
Speaker 1: to take it? Can I have it? Is it like
Speaker 1: a parting gift? Like you don't need it? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Dan doesn't give stuff up very much. You can't see it,
Speaker 1: you really can't. It's like off camera, so honestly, you
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't even miss it. You know. Dan's got a
Speaker 1: long history of Barry Sanders, going back to the draft.
Speaker 1: He interviewed them and he talked to him like the
Speaker 1: day he retired, and they've got a long history. He
Speaker 1: was you know, as a Lions fan growing up, you
Speaker 1: had very few things to be happy about. They really were.
Speaker 1: I mean you might have like Eric Kramer was our
Speaker 1: best quarterback and like, no one knows who Eric Kramer is,
Speaker 1: but he was like my best quarterback growing up. And
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders was that guy. It's like, we're not making
Speaker 1: the playoffs, we're probably not even gonna get close, but
Speaker 1: we have Barry Sanders, who has the most exciting one
Speaker 1: yard runs of anyone in NFL history. But the problem
Speaker 1: was it was like that was most of his run, right, No,
Speaker 1: it's like in some games that they were super cool.
Speaker 1: I loved Barry, I loved him. Studio is so I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, like the Premier League studio is intimidating
Speaker 1: because he's got the TVs. This is intimidating. This is
Speaker 1: this is big. But I mean, how long did it
Speaker 1: take to get all this stuff? Wow, that's a big question.
Speaker 1: I believe a lifetime. I think about half the stuff
Speaker 1: in here is just from Dan's attic that we took
Speaker 1: when we moved and we opened the studio about two
Speaker 1: years ago on TV. And if you look around, there'll
Speaker 1: be like a pair of socks and there Arnold Palmer
Speaker 1: sock you know, or there's like a helmet from you know,
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin. It's kid. So we have three hours, right,
Speaker 1: we can spend the whole three hours just I'm just
Speaker 1: like looking around looking at the book covers. We do
Speaker 1: have three guests though today, and three really good guests,
Speaker 1: and a couple of them I know really well. Matt Mayoko.
Speaker 1: I used to work with him out in the Bay Area.
Speaker 1: I was out in San Francisco for about five or
Speaker 1: six years. He has covered the forty nine ers for ever.
Speaker 1: We're a week away from the draft, and the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers really do have one of the most interesting
Speaker 1: picks in the draft because I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people think Trevor Lawrence going number one, obviously, got Zeke
Speaker 1: Wilson going number two, number three, Who's going number three?
Speaker 1: I do a podcast at NBC Sports with Chris Simms, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, when you guys ask me, you go,
Speaker 1: who do you want on the show? I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get someone to talk Premier League. Let's
Speaker 1: get Chris Sims on the show if we can. And
Speaker 1: then I'm watching Tuesday, there's Chris Simms on the show.
Speaker 1: Rebecca Lowe's on the show two days before I get here.
Speaker 1: I was like, you stole my ideas, you took him,
Speaker 1: took him from me, just blocked here. What every every
Speaker 1: turn that everyone that you had planned to talk to
Speaker 1: his previous guests. No, it's good. We got We got
Speaker 1: Robbie Earl talking talking to the the Premier League, so we
Speaker 1: did get one of my friends there. But yeah, Matt
Speaker 1: Mayoko will break down kind of what the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers are going to do with the number three pick,
Speaker 1: and it really does. And there's been so much debate
Speaker 1: on what they should do, what they could do. Who
Speaker 1: is the better quarterback because clearly you have the flashy
Speaker 1: can do it all. Run throw new age quarterback out
Speaker 1: of the Kyler Murray, Josh Allen, mold In, justin Fields
Speaker 1: or maybe Trey Lance if you like him a little
Speaker 1: bit better. And I get that, but I like I said,
Speaker 1: do a podcast with Chris Simms, who loves Mac Jones
Speaker 1: loves him, and a lot of people in the NFL
Speaker 1: love him too. Polly, you worked out there for a while,
Speaker 1: you know the Niners and Jimmy Garoppolo is twenty nine
Speaker 1: years old, twenty seven touchdowns, was in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and was maybe two first downs away from having a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring. Is premature to get rid of them
Speaker 1: is obviously they're going in a different direction. That's a
Speaker 1: great question, right. What changed? Nobody's talking about that? That
Speaker 1: is a premature What changed because they spent a second
Speaker 1: round pick on him and he was their new quarterback
Speaker 1: because all the talk before that was Kirk Cousins going
Speaker 1: to come here at some point Kirk Cousins I was like, well,
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. Let's get our guy then,
Speaker 1: and that guy was Jimmy Garoppolo. And I will be
Speaker 1: so interested to ask Matt what happened there? What changed
Speaker 1: over this past year? Mclovin, He only doesn't Jimmy G
Speaker 1: only play six games a year at a certain point
Speaker 1: ten year window. Maybe they don't think he's durable. And
Speaker 1: part of it too, I wonder, you're right. You need
Speaker 1: a guy who's durable and can be there. And they
Speaker 1: have seen how the whole season, every NFL team sees
Speaker 1: how every season can all fall apart if you lose
Speaker 1: your quarterback. I wonder if Jimmy G can still stay.
Speaker 1: There are some people to say, no, you cannot keep him.
Speaker 1: He's got to go. He makes a lot of money,
Speaker 1: But I think that's a good way to convince him. Hey,
Speaker 1: Jimmy g you make a lot of money. You can
Speaker 1: make a lot of money over there just as well.
Speaker 1: We might need you. I don't know I'm gonna pick
Speaker 1: Matt's brain about that, but I'm fascinated with mac Jones.
Speaker 1: And one of my pet peeves is right around this
Speaker 1: time of year, we get drunk on some draft value.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean, Poullie. It's like, it's like,
Speaker 1: if mac Jones goes number three, that's crazy. He doesn't
Speaker 1: have a strong enough arm. That's a bus type pick.
Speaker 1: But if mac Jones goes mid first round into the
Speaker 1: first round, great pick. He's accurate quarterback, he can make
Speaker 1: all the plays. That's a good spot to have Mac Jones.
Speaker 1: It's like we're talking about two different humans here. If
Speaker 1: the Dan always says this, if the Bears had taken
Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky in the first pick of the second round,
Speaker 1: then he would have been a really nice quarterback and
Speaker 1: a nice value and not expensive. Remember Andy Dalton, I
Speaker 1: think mclub and he was a second rounder, right high
Speaker 1: second rounder. He was a really high end production guy
Speaker 1: for a second round. Yeah, Dad's big one was Reggie Bush.
Speaker 1: If Reggie Bush had been a second rounder, he did
Speaker 1: have a nice little career. Yeah, but he was I
Speaker 1: think the second overall pick. It's a different story altogether.
Speaker 1: And I get it with Mac Jones. He's not flashy,
Speaker 1: he doesn't look great in or out of a uniform. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like I get it. So but he's highly successful
Speaker 1: in that one year at Alabama. And so, yeah, we
Speaker 1: do have the death of the Super League. We're gonna
Speaker 1: make sure it's still dead. Right the super League it
Speaker 1: was born. I was there. I was sitting on set
Speaker 1: with Robbie Earl and Robbie Musto and doing the Premier
Speaker 1: League show on Sunday, and our producer in my ear
Speaker 1: Adam goes, goes, hey, I think we got to talk
Speaker 1: about this Super League thing. It's kind of seeming like
Speaker 1: it broke when you guys were on the air. It
Speaker 1: broke one hundred percent when we were on the air,
Speaker 1: and it was during halftime of our game, and I
Speaker 1: we go, okay, we'll mention it. Because the New York
Speaker 1: Times had just come out with a big story on
Speaker 1: it that this is happening, and Robbie Arrow was a
Speaker 1: little skeptical because we've heard this before. It's like we've
Speaker 1: heard Super League. We've been hearing this for ten twenty years,
Speaker 1: all these big clubs are going to get together in Europe.
Speaker 1: But there was something really different about this and we
Speaker 1: did see it because all the clubs made the formal
Speaker 1: announcement that had never been done before that we are
Speaker 1: joining this big European football league. And so Robbie and Robbie,
Speaker 1: the two Robbies were despondent almost because we're talking, you know,
Speaker 1: top four. This win could get this team into the
Speaker 1: top four. West Ham's in there, Chelsea's trying to get in.
Speaker 1: And then they get done saying that and they go
Speaker 1: does that even matter anymore? Because top four normally gets
Speaker 1: you into the Champions League? But as the Champions League
Speaker 1: even gonna be around, so they understood in the moment
Speaker 1: what that would mean to the Premier League and the
Speaker 1: second tier teams in the other leagues. And I mean
Speaker 1: is that what happened there that they went too big
Speaker 1: too soon and the reaction was overwhelming. They did they
Speaker 1: should have consulted the two Robbies or any other football fan,
Speaker 1: you know, and part of me is like, I get
Speaker 1: it right. You want to have the biggest clubs playing
Speaker 1: each other all the time. If in the Premier League
Speaker 1: we didn't have Manchester City Manchester United playing twice a
Speaker 1: year or Arsenal Tottenham playing twice a year, we'd say
Speaker 1: what are we doing? We should those teams should be
Speaker 1: playing all the time. And so I get it from
Speaker 1: the owners standpoints of like Real Madrid in Manchester City
Speaker 1: what we've played maybe three times in the past twenty years.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You didn't have to look at it
Speaker 1: if if you happen to meet in the Champions League,
Speaker 1: that's basically the only time you're going to play some
Speaker 1: of those big European clubs from other countries. So I
Speaker 1: get it, But it was just the structure there is
Speaker 1: so different, and it's what they hold on to. These
Speaker 1: smaller clubs can rise up in that idea, even if
Speaker 1: they never do. They could. I'd be curious to know
Speaker 1: from Robbie Earl where this is going to be in
Speaker 1: five years or ten years, right, because like you said,
Speaker 1: the concept has been rumored for ten or twenty years
Speaker 1: and it's clearly not going away. As because at last
Speaker 1: I saw Real Madrid and Barcelona we're still in It's
Speaker 1: just odd. So what happens in five years, say like
Speaker 1: the economic fallout of all this, right, or even of
Speaker 1: COVID Right, that every sports franchise is dealing with what
Speaker 1: happens in five or ten years from now, where the
Speaker 1: super League or the European League is still very much
Speaker 1: on the table because the big clubs are still gonna
Speaker 1: want an ownership of some of those biggest tournaments out there.
Speaker 1: They're still gonna want to guarantee profits and guarantee their valuation.
Speaker 1: And I do think some of this maybe all the
Speaker 1: sports leagues. Honestly, every business around the world this past
Speaker 1: year has seen where they are vulnerable. They see where
Speaker 1: their business is vulnerable. If it all goes away, we
Speaker 1: have another pandemic boom, this is where we're vulnerable. This
Speaker 1: is where we could have some trouble. And so I
Speaker 1: don't doubt that the football world saw that and said, wow,
Speaker 1: we have invested millions and billions of dollars into some
Speaker 1: of these clubs and we just saw in a year
Speaker 1: how it could all go away. Let's try to think
Speaker 1: of a different way to make this structure and yes, um,
Speaker 1: so we'll see if that if that can happen. NFL
Speaker 1: some rule changes proposed, actually voted on and are going
Speaker 1: to happen. Nothing major in the NFL, but we do
Speaker 1: have some interesting new rules. We've got Ben Volan on
Speaker 1: from the Boston Globe senior writer. We'll talk about some
Speaker 1: Patriots stuff. They didn't get my favorite rule of the
Speaker 1: no on side kick anymore, but you get you want
Speaker 1: to eliminate. I want to. I would. I'd be open
Speaker 1: to it. As you'll find out in these three hours,
Speaker 1: I'm open to some crazy changes. They might turn out
Speaker 1: to be terrible and then I'll say they weren't my idea.
Speaker 1: But I've always opened to some crazy changes. What about
Speaker 1: the overtime spot and choose that got shot down yesterday
Speaker 1: where the teams we talked about this like a month ago.
Speaker 1: Where the team wins a coin hip gets it aside
Speaker 1: who gets the ball and where that whole it's very complicated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can say, like the other team gets the ball
Speaker 1: out to twenty. I didn't get the benefit of it.
Speaker 1: So one team would pick the spot on the field
Speaker 1: where the ball would be right, and the other team
Speaker 1: would say all right, we want to be offense or defense, right,
Speaker 1: So wouldn't that just you'd end up putting it on
Speaker 1: the twenty five every time or thirty five. You're own right,
Speaker 1: it's like named that tune, named that yard line, like
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the thirty one, we'll go to
Speaker 1: thirty eight. But it would be like Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 1: You know how Wheel of Fortune turned into rst N
Speaker 1: l N E. Wait, not two ends, but you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, and so everyone just kept doing that.
Speaker 1: So then we'll go, all right, we'll just give you
Speaker 1: those letters and now give us three extra letters. So
Speaker 1: he is, that's what's on Wheel of Fortune. Now, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen the show in years. They give you R
Speaker 1: S D and LT. Yes, I know, I haven't watched
Speaker 1: it in a few years, but last time I watched it, right, RI,
Speaker 1: LT and E. And then you get at least another
Speaker 1: two continents an avowal three contents about it's like almost
Speaker 1: half the alphabet does already paid exactly because everyone would
Speaker 1: go up there, this is the final right at the end,
Speaker 1: rst l N E. And then Pat say, Jack and
Speaker 1: Vanna got sick of it, and they go, all right,
Speaker 1: you will give you those, and it's we gotta be
Speaker 1: at least fifteen years into the doing that seriously, I mean,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah. Now I haven't watched that show in
Speaker 1: at least a decade and they did it then, So yeah,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they give you letters? I know it's obvious
Speaker 1: new thing they're doing. Yeah, does it prices right? Give
Speaker 1: you the first two numbers of the how much of
Speaker 1: refrigerator caused place? Do you think Bob Barker is still
Speaker 1: the host? Bob's not, He's gone but a minute? What? Uh? Yeah? So,
Speaker 1: but wouldn't it be like that, like every NFL team
Speaker 1: would figure out the yard line that's optimal and that
Speaker 1: that would be it every time? And then I guess
Speaker 1: it's just the other team if they trusted to their
Speaker 1: offense or their defense more. But you said you were
Speaker 1: in the crazy rule change. I know that's a crazy
Speaker 1: rule change, but it doesn't make sense to me. I
Speaker 1: don't get the benefit of that one. The onside kick
Speaker 1: one is interesting to me because that proposal, right, is
Speaker 1: that you would have instead of an onside kick, you
Speaker 1: have a fourth and fifteen from like your own what
Speaker 1: was it twenty five or something like that, So your
Speaker 1: own twenty five, fourth and fifteen. If you get it,
Speaker 1: you just keep going drive as usual. If you don't
Speaker 1: get it, the other team gets the ball right there.
Speaker 1: Oh so if it was an incomplete pass right at
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, or if you get ten yards,
Speaker 1: they get it there on the field. And I thought
Speaker 1: that was going to pass because on side kicks have
Speaker 1: become no one recovers on side kicks anymore. Well, they
Speaker 1: got a couple of years ago, they got rid of
Speaker 1: the run up, so they I think it was down
Speaker 1: to it was four percent a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: I think it was down to two percent of on
Speaker 1: side kicks are recovered, and I think it was something
Speaker 1: even less of team's winning after they recovered the on
Speaker 1: side kicks. So even in the rare cases where a
Speaker 1: team would get the on side kick, they didn't win
Speaker 1: the game. They might go to over time. So I
Speaker 1: was intrigued by this because, Okay, this gives teams an alternative,
Speaker 1: But I think what happened with that rule and why
Speaker 1: teams are reluctant to accept it, is it does seem
Speaker 1: to favor the teams that have a quarterback that have
Speaker 1: an offense. If you're the Bears, and you have Mitchell Trubisky.
Speaker 1: You're probably saying, no, I don't know that I want
Speaker 1: to do the fourth and the fourth and fifteen. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about all this with Ben Volan, who
Speaker 1: has been all over it for the Boston Globe. Talk
Speaker 1: a little Patriots with him as well. Robbie Earl, my
Speaker 1: friend and colleague over at NBC Sports, on the death
Speaker 1: of the Super League and maybe Paully if something like
Speaker 1: this and Seaton could ever happen again. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: into MLB uniforms, and that's gonna be the hot button
Speaker 1: topic of the show because Polly has some opinions that
Speaker 1: I cannot stand behind. Your West Coast guys. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: save it, but I thought you'd be with me, okay,
Speaker 1: And speaking of the West Coast, Matt Mayoko, my friend
Speaker 1: at NBC Sports b Area, talking forty nine ers the
Speaker 1: Key to the Draft. This is The Dan Patrick Show
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three DPS show. Email at DP at
Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com, at DPS show on Twitter. We're
Speaker 1: live on Peacock all across the country Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine until
Speaker 1: noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
Speaker 1: FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app. Are
Speaker 1: you guys in favor of a full sky judge replay
Speaker 1: umpire who can call the plays on the field from
Speaker 1: the booth without even right now, they sort of went
Speaker 1: in a middle ground where he can influence the officials
Speaker 1: on the field. You can call down. But would you
Speaker 1: like to have an official who's in the booth one
Speaker 1: hundred percent of time and can call pass interference if
Speaker 1: he wants to, yes or no? What if it just
Speaker 1: moves that way completely? You have no on field officials.
Speaker 1: It's just all the big in the sky we can
Speaker 1: see better sometimes anyway that way, that'd be horrendous for
Speaker 1: the officials who work out all year to get their
Speaker 1: arms jacked, to be in those tight uniforms, and what
Speaker 1: would they do with their arms? They couldn't show them
Speaker 1: off anymore? Good call. You'd have to get a camera
Speaker 1: in the replay booth and even tighter tease McLevin. Yeah. Oh.
Speaker 1: The other poet was what would you do if you
Speaker 1: ran the san Francisco forty nine Ers at number three,
Speaker 1: and I would throw in, By the way, you could
Speaker 1: have Mac Jones justin fields trade lance a three quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: or how about you take Kyle Pitts. I know you
Speaker 1: trade it up and you wouldn't trade up, but if
Speaker 1: you and San Francisco, how about Jimmy g throwing up
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. It's funny because a lot of forty nine
Speaker 1: Ers fans say, if you're gonna do that trade, you
Speaker 1: gotta know who you're gonna pick. And then you tell them, well,
Speaker 1: I think they might pick mac Jones. They go, you
Speaker 1: gotta be able to change your mind. You can't get
Speaker 1: stuck on one guy. So we'll see. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: Macmyoko about what the forty nine ers are gonna do.
Speaker 1: But let's welcome in Ben Volan from the Boston Globe,
Speaker 1: senior NFL writer. Hello, Ben, Thanks for taking time to
Speaker 1: talk to us here today. Regis story about the rule changes.
Speaker 1: So just right off the bat here, what do you
Speaker 1: think the rule changes that should get us most excited
Speaker 1: for this coming season? Doesn't seem like anything major, But
Speaker 1: what would you say? No, they really didn't try to
Speaker 1: do anything major, especially in a COVID year. They didn't
Speaker 1: want to, you know, rock the boat too much. But
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing is adding these responsibilities to the
Speaker 1: instant replay judge. And they're they're towing a line very
Speaker 1: very carefully here. You can tell it's it's like a
Speaker 1: half measure to appease the coaches who want less pressure
Speaker 1: on them to have to challenge, and the coaches just
Speaker 1: want the calls to be made right. And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people in management and the competition committee, the
Speaker 1: ownership level who aren't very comfortable with the idea of
Speaker 1: the instant replay official having sway you know, on officiating
Speaker 1: and throwing a flag from the booth and let's slow
Speaker 1: everything down to the nanosecond and frame by frame to
Speaker 1: see if there should have been offensive holding calls. So
Speaker 1: this is kind of like a half measure that I
Speaker 1: think some people inside the NFL are viewing a little
Speaker 1: skeptically because it is taking them to another threshold that
Speaker 1: they don't usually like. They did that for a year
Speaker 1: when they allowed instant replay to be reviewed, and they
Speaker 1: hated it and they got rid of it. So this
Speaker 1: is kind of a measure to make the coach is happy.
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh from the Ravens and the Coaches Subcommittee were
Speaker 1: the ones who really pushed this role, and so they're
Speaker 1: making them happy, but they're also kind of towing the line.
Speaker 1: And I think there are a lot of people skeptical
Speaker 1: of allowing the replay official to have too much influence.
Speaker 1: Is it almost to prevent the disasters like the big
Speaker 1: egregious missed call, just the big play they don't want
Speaker 1: because I almost feel like I've seen officials over the
Speaker 1: past couple of years, and I don't know how much
Speaker 1: communication is between New York and on the field, but
Speaker 1: you know, dressed as officials, they come out with the
Speaker 1: earpiece in. It seems like there is some communication already
Speaker 1: going on. But is this going a little bit further?
Speaker 1: Been No question, it's going a lot further. And I
Speaker 1: think the thing that Rich McKay, who who's the chairman
Speaker 1: of the Competition Committee, he's the Falcons president, what he
Speaker 1: said yesterday is there only going to allow the replay
Speaker 1: judge to view objective things. What did a guy step
Speaker 1: on a line? Was the ball over the goal line?
Speaker 1: Things that you would think would be objective. Although anyone
Speaker 1: who's watched football know there's a lot of gray area
Speaker 1: and a lot of that stuff. Interestingly, this proposal would
Speaker 1: not fix the Saints defensive pass interference call for the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship a few years ago, because that's a that's
Speaker 1: a judgment call, that's a penalty. This is only four
Speaker 1: very objective things that the guys step on the sideline,
Speaker 1: Did he complete the catch? Did the ball hit the ground.
Speaker 1: So they're trying to finesse it and we'll see how
Speaker 1: it works this year. But I think certainly this is
Speaker 1: something to appease the coaches. Clearly they don't want to
Speaker 1: have to challenge anymore. They want the decision taken away
Speaker 1: from them. So I think the NFL, you know, in
Speaker 1: a best case scenario, this helps get the calls right,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't take away from the powers of the
Speaker 1: officials on the field. But we'll see how it works.
Speaker 1: You know. In reality of the other rules, Ben, what
Speaker 1: was most interesting to you, I mean, they're all kind
Speaker 1: of boilerplates off. I mean, the jersey thing is very interesting.
Speaker 1: They have opened up the single digit uniforms to linebackers
Speaker 1: and wide receivers and everyone's gonna be fighting for number
Speaker 1: one and number two, and you know they're old college uniforms.
Speaker 1: But what I found so fascinating about this I didn't
Speaker 1: know this rule existed until this rule got approved yesterday.
Speaker 1: But if you're a player and you change your jersey
Speaker 1: number for next year, you have to buy all your
Speaker 1: excess jerseys that are hanging around the warehouses for the
Speaker 1: NFL shop. You have to buy out the jerseys. But
Speaker 1: if you say I'm going to change my uniform in
Speaker 1: two years from now, that gives the NFL enough time
Speaker 1: to still sell your jersey for next year. So there's
Speaker 1: a big financial component to this, and guys have to
Speaker 1: decide is it worth changing their jersey if they have
Speaker 1: to spring for four thousand jerseys of their old numbers.
Speaker 1: So not only do you have to decide if you
Speaker 1: want to change your number, ben, you have to call
Speaker 1: around to warehouses throughout the world. How many do you have,
Speaker 1: how many do you have of my jersey? How much
Speaker 1: you're selling them for. That's a lot of work for
Speaker 1: these players. And I'm like, Okay, you just bought three
Speaker 1: thousand of your own jerseys and you're gonna any change
Speaker 1: the numbers, So what are you gonna do with them?
Speaker 1: It's it's a fascinating dilemma. Is there a rule ben
Speaker 1: that was not approved that you expected to get approved,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's been tabled for years to come. The
Speaker 1: only thing that surprised me, frankly, was that they did
Speaker 1: approve this rule that gave the expanded responsibilities to the
Speaker 1: replay judge. I actually didn't think the NFL was going
Speaker 1: to move that far. They had a bunch of fun proposals,
Speaker 1: and basically all the fun ones got voted down. And
Speaker 1: I think I did see that coming, just because the NFL,
Speaker 1: like a lot of these owners, they don't do change lightly.
Speaker 1: And you know, instituting fourth and fifteen as an alternative
Speaker 1: for the onside kick sounds great. I love it. It'd
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. You know, it might make
Speaker 1: the NFL look a little being a football ish, so
Speaker 1: I think the owners are always kind of wary of
Speaker 1: that the sky judge. As I said before, the NFL
Speaker 1: does not really want to take that step if they
Speaker 1: don't have to, and said they created a half measure.
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills had an interesting proposal about the
Speaker 1: timeline for when you can hire coaches. They think it's
Speaker 1: a distraction for their coaches who are in a playoff
Speaker 1: run to be interviewing for jobs, and maybe they're at
Speaker 1: you're at a disadvantage if you make it all the
Speaker 1: way to the super Bowl and the hiring team just
Speaker 1: wants to move on for the NFL table and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. So we've seen it the last two years.
Speaker 1: There have been fewer proposals and the NFL has accepted
Speaker 1: fewer proposals. Just with COVID. They're not trying to rock
Speaker 1: the boat. They're trying to keep things as normal as possible. Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: if you'd asked me a couple of years ago, I
Speaker 1: would have said the on side kick is gone. It's
Speaker 1: going to be gone within five years, too dangerous player safety.
Speaker 1: Now it almost seems like they're trying to make it work,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't bet against it sticking around for years
Speaker 1: to come. Am I wrong in that? Ben? No? And
Speaker 1: you know that's another area where they approved of a
Speaker 1: half measure. You know, fourth and fifteen would have would
Speaker 1: have taken a blowtorch to the on side kick. Instead,
Speaker 1: they're like, let's see if we can bring the play back.
Speaker 1: You know that they change the kickoff rules so much
Speaker 1: because of health and safety that it rendered the onside
Speaker 1: kick completely, you know, impossible to recover. I think the
Speaker 1: numbers I saw were that four of sixty seven on
Speaker 1: side kicks last year were recovered. That's like five percent.
Speaker 1: You need more than that. You need the play to
Speaker 1: be competitive again. So they instituted this half measure where
Speaker 1: they're limiting the number of players the defense could have
Speaker 1: in the box. You can now only have nine players
Speaker 1: in the box. The offense can only have five on
Speaker 1: either side. So you know, maybe that maybe that measure
Speaker 1: will will help improve the odds of the on side kick.
Speaker 1: It's just a one year thing. The fourth and fifteen
Speaker 1: will always be around, and if they just can't get
Speaker 1: the on side kick, you know, back to a competitive play,
Speaker 1: then I think, you know, then they'll seriously look at
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen. But they don't want to just take
Speaker 1: that major step. They want to see if they can
Speaker 1: fix the play. First, Ben, I'm going to give you
Speaker 1: a chance to be wrong. What do you think Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick and the Patriots do on draft night? Well, that's
Speaker 1: an area specialty. Especially being wrong about the Patriots in
Speaker 1: draft is my specialty. Look, I think the play is
Speaker 1: for the quarterback is definitely there. I don't think there
Speaker 1: are as many teams in front of them that want,
Speaker 1: you know, the final two quarterbacks, whoever they may end
Speaker 1: up being, whether it's Lance and Fields, maybe Matt Jones.
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of teams would like to
Speaker 1: trade out of their picks, and I think the Patriots
Speaker 1: really have to be more worried about the teams behind
Speaker 1: them trading up in front of them for a quarterback
Speaker 1: like a Washington or a Pittsburgh or New Orleans then
Speaker 1: you know, Atlanta, Philly, Carolina. I just don't see these
Speaker 1: teams being in it right now. So of course, you know,
Speaker 1: the play is there for the Patriots to go get
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, and I think that'd be terrifics sat him
Speaker 1: beside Kim Newton for a year, maybe even find a
Speaker 1: role for Trey Lance, you know, while maybe do the
Speaker 1: two quarterback thing like the Saints did with with Taysom
Speaker 1: Hill and Drew Brees. You know. So I would like
Speaker 1: the Patriots to make a bold move to get one
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks. And I think the opportunity is there.
Speaker 1: That said this is the Patriots will probably take a
Speaker 1: guard from Rutgers, you know, And I do like the
Speaker 1: idea too. I maybe they take a real player at fifteen,
Speaker 1: but they can always trade up into the back end
Speaker 1: of the first round, go get number thirty one and
Speaker 1: go get Kellen Mond or Kyle Trask or whoever they
Speaker 1: like there. So to me, it's a major disappointment if
Speaker 1: the Patriots don't come out of the first two days
Speaker 1: of the draft, the first three rounds, if they don't
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, because clearly they just don't have the
Speaker 1: answer on their roster and they can't keep doing this
Speaker 1: where they're just kind of hoping and praying that a
Speaker 1: quarterback falls in their lap. They need to be bold
Speaker 1: and go do something about it. If you could pull
Speaker 1: the fans right now, who do you think they would
Speaker 1: pick to be their quarterback next year and maybe into
Speaker 1: the future, Cam Newton rookie quarterback or trade back for
Speaker 1: Jimmy g Jimmy Garoppolo. Yeah, Jimmy G is the guy
Speaker 1: that I think fans realistically won as the answer. I
Speaker 1: just don't think it's going to happen this year. Just
Speaker 1: get the sense the Niners feel they have a championship
Speaker 1: caliber roster and they're not ready to turn that team
Speaker 1: over to some rookie, especially coming off a COVID year
Speaker 1: and a strange pre draft process. So I think they're
Speaker 1: serious about keeping Garoppolo. I think I do think he'll
Speaker 1: be a play next offseason, but I just don't see
Speaker 1: it right now. The Patriots fans are not into Cam Newton.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of unrest from the fans, like
Speaker 1: this is the best that you guys could do again
Speaker 1: after the season that Cam just had. So we'll see.
Speaker 1: But clearly rookie. You know, the fans are ready for
Speaker 1: the team to invest in a rookie. I don't get
Speaker 1: the sense that they necessarily want fields over Lance or
Speaker 1: anything of that nature. I keep hearing that Lance would
Speaker 1: be a tremendous fit for the Patriots offense. Again, he's
Speaker 1: a guy who needs to sit. So that's, you know,
Speaker 1: no pressure situation with the Patriots. Cam can play for
Speaker 1: this year and then and Trey Lance could sit. But
Speaker 1: the fans overwhelmingly want this team to go big, go bold,
Speaker 1: and invest in a quarterback. Well, Ben, I'm rooting for you.
Speaker 1: I don't want you to be wrong. I want you
Speaker 1: to be right. You're right about a whole lot. Ben Vollan,
Speaker 1: senior NFL writer for the Boston Globe a lot of
Speaker 1: great insights on the rule changes in the NFL and
Speaker 1: what the Patriots may or may not do. Thanks Ben, guys,
Speaker 1: that's kind of I was a little surprised by that.
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to say, rookie quarterback, Patriots
Speaker 1: fans want a fresh start, get one of these rookie quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Are all about the dynamic ones in the in the draft. Um,
Speaker 1: but I guess Jimmy G one, man, what's the what's
Speaker 1: the quote? One man's what is another man's what? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I forgot the garbage. Yeah, trash is another
Speaker 1: man's treasure? Is that what it is? I didn't want
Speaker 1: to call anyone trip It's not that should be because
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty good. Yeah, but I guess I could
Speaker 1: be mclovin. Wasn't Jimmy g like the Golden Tiffers? Did
Speaker 1: they pay him like eighty million dollars? Or wasn't he
Speaker 1: the one true answer? A quarterback just three years ago
Speaker 1: took him to the Super Bowl? What happened to all that?
Speaker 1: I don't know. You gotta win it. If he had
Speaker 1: off to raheemstered about two more times, you've got to
Speaker 1: ring the past down the middle. Of the field right
Speaker 1: at the end. Mclovin. Doesn't it feel though? And I know,
Speaker 1: I think everyone in this room feels this way that
Speaker 1: if the Niners take Mac Jones at number three, it's
Speaker 1: almost like they're drafting Kirk Cousins at number three. The
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. I feel like everyone says Kyle Shanahan's ideal
Speaker 1: quarterback is Kirk Cousins, and I wonder if that makes
Speaker 1: him mad at all, Not that Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: I think is an underrated quarterback. I think he is
Speaker 1: legitimately a top ten quarterback. Is he properly rated? He
Speaker 1: seems like you know, some guys are not overrated or underrated,
Speaker 1: he seems properly rated. He's rank thirteenth in a league
Speaker 1: or but I think most people would put him in
Speaker 1: the twenties. Don't you think when they talk about Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 1: they're like, Kirk Cousins, he's twenties. Can't win on prime time?
Speaker 1: Ten ten fields. Top ten feels gaudy for Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to list them, we could
Speaker 1: do it in the break or now. I think you
Speaker 1: could get to ten pretty quick. All right, we can
Speaker 1: do you that. You look at some of the numbers.
Speaker 1: I know stats lie, but passing yards, passing touchdowns deep
Speaker 1: down the field. With a team that has a heavy
Speaker 1: run game, he was able to make a lot of
Speaker 1: impact in the passing game and do it without one
Speaker 1: of their top receivers from last years to find digs
Speaker 1: and bring along a rookie Justin Jefferson, who probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been able to do that without a good quarterback
Speaker 1: on his side. I can make a case for Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins top ten. I also want you guys to make
Speaker 1: a case because I've already said that I am totally
Speaker 1: on board with any new crazy rule change in any sport.
Speaker 1: Quite honestly, I have a lot of them for baseball
Speaker 1: that my friends have heard over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: And maybe I will stick you with here today. At
Speaker 1: some point we should do that though. We should do
Speaker 1: a rule change. You all come up with a rule change,
Speaker 1: us four, you four, We come up with one. Okay,
Speaker 1: you come up with one. And what I'll do is
Speaker 1: I'll rule good rule, bad rule. We'll do rule bad rule.
Speaker 1: Seat And that sounds like a second good rule bad rule.
Speaker 1: Do we need music for good rule, bad Rule? Or
Speaker 1: are we just gonna leave it on? What kind of
Speaker 1: music do you have in mind? I'll come up with
Speaker 1: something special just for this special music for a good
Speaker 1: rule bad Rule. I like it. Thanks for listening to

Speaker 1: podcast is called All Ball. We usually talk all basketball
Speaker 1: all the time, but it's more about the stories about
Speaker 1: what made these people love their sport and all the
Speaker 1: interesting interactions along the way. We talked to coaches, we
Speaker 1: talked to players, We tell you stories. You download it,
Speaker 1: you listen to it. I think you like it. Listen
Speaker 1: to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, or ever you get your podcast. The Knicks
Speaker 1: are good? Are they kind of good? I mean, have
Speaker 1: you even noticed something that? Can you smell it in
Speaker 1: the air? Because I haven't noticed this in about a decade,
Speaker 1: maybe over a decade. Knicks fans are out again. They're
Speaker 1: out on the community, they're talking, they're on social media.
Speaker 1: Fritzie's wearing a Knick sweatshirt that he got for free,
Speaker 1: probably an OH seven, and he hasn't worn since. I'm
Speaker 1: guessing the Carmelo Anthony had to dig it back into
Speaker 1: the deep recesses of the closet. There was some cobwebs
Speaker 1: and some you know, a little bit of a mustiness
Speaker 1: going up balls. We dusted off and we'll see what
Speaker 1: happened to. But this is a good day, good day
Speaker 1: to where the where the Knicks up. I think if
Speaker 1: you ask me to name Knicks, I'd probably say like
Speaker 1: John Stark, Mark Jackson and Oakley and Ewing and people
Speaker 1: like that. The Louis orr Roy Sparrow. I'm a Sixers fan.
Speaker 1: I don't want to put that, but but the Knicks
Speaker 1: are not good. We all know this, right. They've beaten
Speaker 1: a bunch of load management or scrub teams. They're Julius
Speaker 1: Randall and seven G League players. But they don't need
Speaker 1: to be good, they just need to be not bad.
Speaker 1: But they I mean, you have to understand. Off, these
Speaker 1: guys were on the baker Field Jam in the Delaware
Speaker 1: eighty seven Ers last year. They are not like a
Speaker 1: robust NBA lineup seton. Don't take anything that Andrews saying
Speaker 1: seriously right now, Okay, this is nothing more than a
Speaker 1: Sixers fan wanting the attention back on Philadelphia rather than
Speaker 1: the New York names and a Sixers fan who lives
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and likes to attach himself lightly to the nets. Correct,
Speaker 1: as long as the Bucks aren't playing right, well, you
Speaker 1: guys are right, we should get the Knicks talking because
Speaker 1: those five playoff games they play before bowing out will
Speaker 1: go quickly, so we should get to talk in right.
Speaker 1: They would kill to have five playoff games to see
Speaker 1: what you did that quickly? Who hit the three? Coming
Speaker 1: from a Lions fan, five playoff games sounds amazing. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: But isn't it like that with some franchises like the
Speaker 1: Oakland A's one eleven in a row, I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're contender and the Phoenix Suns, you know they're
Speaker 1: almost in first or they're right close to first. If
Speaker 1: the relevancy makes you feel better as a fan, and
Speaker 1: you know you obviously want to win the title, relevancy
Speaker 1: it just feels better, or do you, guys? Buy into
Speaker 1: the fact that basketball is better. The NBA is better
Speaker 1: when the Knicks are good, or the Celtics are good,
Speaker 1: or in the NFL, the NFL is better when the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are good, which hasn't happened for a while. Do
Speaker 1: you guys buy that? I think I kind of do.
Speaker 1: I think I kind of do it. It's I think
Speaker 1: that's sports are better when the bigger markets are doing
Speaker 1: well and are getting taken down by smaller markets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Knicks are also easy to cover all the medias
Speaker 1: within a couple of blocks, and then they have their
Speaker 1: own network. Celebrities still go to their games when they stink,
Speaker 1: and when they're good, every celebrity comes out of the woodwork.
Speaker 1: Mclovin's shaking this well. I feel like the NBA has
Speaker 1: proven small markets could be big, like that everyone would
Speaker 1: stayed up to watch the Warriors, and then when that
Speaker 1: team broke apart, the ratings nose dived and everyone loved
Speaker 1: when Lebron was in Cleveland. So I'm not sure you
Speaker 1: need the big markets. I almost wonder if we're just
Speaker 1: get old because people now would say, oh, why is
Speaker 1: basketball better if the Knicks are good? The Knicks have
Speaker 1: never been good. Why is that good? We can't refer
Speaker 1: to San Francisco as a small market, no, well, Golden State,
Speaker 1: is that the whole San Francisco? I don't know, because
Speaker 1: you were out there, It's like, yeah, I mean they
Speaker 1: were Oakland, but they were bad for so long, and
Speaker 1: and Oakland a lot of times does get over overlooked,
Speaker 1: like the Oakland a is eleven game winning streak. The
Speaker 1: bigger story out in San Francisco and the Bay Area
Speaker 1: is I'm sure the Giants exceeding expectations, haven't won eleven
Speaker 1: in a row, but the Giants are the bigger club
Speaker 1: out there. So that's like New York with the Nets
Speaker 1: and the Knicks, and the Nets are always the B
Speaker 1: team to the Knicks. Yeah, you would never say Brooklyn
Speaker 1: is a small market, but they are still overshadowed a
Speaker 1: little bit. Going back to the Knicks, it feels like,
Speaker 1: like Mcluban said, they're not great, they're not contending, but
Speaker 1: they feel like they have somewhat likable players. They don't
Speaker 1: have a bunch of overpaid guys who are past their prime,
Speaker 1: like No Offense, Penny Hardaway, Steve Francis. In the days
Speaker 1: where they'd pay some guy after he got injured. You're
Speaker 1: saying they're likable, likable, likable Knicks team. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 1: know them. Nobody knows except for you is Randall. But yeah,
Speaker 1: likable Fritzie. If they lose three in a row, will
Speaker 1: you will you put that? You'll go right back in
Speaker 1: the hand. And the likable mix you have to remove
Speaker 1: yourself from the owner, which seems to be a very
Speaker 1: unlikable character. But you know, if you want to root
Speaker 1: for the Knicks, it's also gonna pad the pockets of
Speaker 1: mister Dolan, which some people prefer not to their moment
Speaker 1: in the sun. We'll give him that, did you guys?
Speaker 1: Brainstorm any rule changes so h mclovin, Yeah, there's wait.
Speaker 1: I think for this game we have to take off
Speaker 1: the fumble out of the end zone. He's nobody on
Speaker 1: Earth likes that word. You know there is one person
Speaker 1: on Earth who likes that sims. Yeah, he's done it
Speaker 1: on this show with you guys. Yes, yeah, it's annoying. Okay,
Speaker 1: So but mine is. There's a small penalty on a
Speaker 1: kickoff at a putterer when the gunner runs out of bounds,
Speaker 1: and it's a fifteen yard penalty. That drives me insane.
Speaker 1: Do you guys know that rule where the guy the
Speaker 1: guy who on the kickoff team runs out of bounds
Speaker 1: and he draws a flag because they say, if you
Speaker 1: run out of bounds, you'll get a full head of steam.
Speaker 1: It's totally, really nuts. So what you you want to
Speaker 1: allow them to fully go as far out of bounds
Speaker 1: as they want and come back. Yeah, they can weave
Speaker 1: in out out of the coaching staff. I think that'd
Speaker 1: be awesome. But second of all, I mean, it takes
Speaker 1: a long time to run out of bounds. It's not
Speaker 1: like you get this huge advantage anything to get less
Speaker 1: flagged on punt plays. I will do anything for it,
Speaker 1: because it's the worst. If you allow that though, players
Speaker 1: who were on the sidelines can hit. Are you okay
Speaker 1: with that? I'm totally I like the old Jets staff
Speaker 1: they used to form a wall and trip like three out. Yes,
Speaker 1: I say, make it all and play good rules. So
Speaker 1: I'm got to give that a good rule. You're approving
Speaker 1: that one. I'm approving that rule. So basically everyone on
Speaker 1: all fifty three on both sides are in play during
Speaker 1: the punt exactly if you're going to go on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: You can do that, You're gonna get hit. You're gonna
Speaker 1: just in. Coaches too, want to stick a foot out whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the guys in the big jacket too, you know those guys.
Speaker 1: I like it. Good rule. All right, Well well done, Fritzie,
Speaker 1: you going. Yes. I can't stand the running the guy
Speaker 1: trying to crush the pylon and to you know, on score,
Speaker 1: and then the penalties the other team gets it at
Speaker 1: the twenty yard line that you're getting penalized. I cannot stand.
Speaker 1: I think at the worst you got to put the
Speaker 1: ball ten yards away or twenty yards away. Is you're
Speaker 1: you're talking about the fumble out of the end zone
Speaker 1: touch back for the other team, right, well, I think,
Speaker 1: which I think is way too harsh to penalty. Mclovin
Speaker 1: just said that. I just said that we shouldn't even
Speaker 1: discuss I thought you were talking more about the running
Speaker 1: out on the sidelines guy during a during a specialties play.
Speaker 1: Wasn't well, I said that I thought that rule even
Speaker 1: I haven't done the time, I wasn't listening to the segment, wasn't.
Speaker 1: Although if we are going to put that into into play,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no, you know, what because we said
Speaker 1: that that's not allowed. Bad rule change. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what the rule change would be. Where would you
Speaker 1: where would you put the ball? If you're if you're,
Speaker 1: if you were not, I're gonna make this could be
Speaker 1: the whole This could be the whole show. This could
Speaker 1: be the whole show. Uh. You know, I've always thought
Speaker 1: with that rule, if we are going to do the
Speaker 1: fumble out of the end zone whatever, dada da da,
Speaker 1: I think that you should get the ball back at
Speaker 1: like that the five yard line or something like that. Actually,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't know. That seems
Speaker 1: about reasonable, but you got to keep the ball. It
Speaker 1: seems it seems very punitive to give the ball to
Speaker 1: the other team. But no, Fritzie, we're not even discussing
Speaker 1: that one. No good rule or bad rule, Seaton, Do
Speaker 1: you have one? Yeah, I would change the rule where
Speaker 1: on a punt or a kickoff you can't run out
Speaker 1: of bounds and come back in. I would do that. Sorry, No,
Speaker 1: I have a rule. What I would think you should
Speaker 1: be able to do is trade draft picks for information.
Speaker 1: So for example, right, so you're the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: and you call up the Jets and you're like, hey, look,
Speaker 1: I'll give you a sixth round or if you just
Speaker 1: tell me who you're taking, who are you taking number
Speaker 1: two in the draft? And then I won't tell anybody.
Speaker 1: But if I give you this sixth round pick, you
Speaker 1: have to take the person you say, or I get
Speaker 1: my pick back, okay, And then the Falcons at the
Speaker 1: four spot could call up the forty nine ers and say,
Speaker 1: we'll give you a six if you tell us so
Speaker 1: we could plan our strategy. And then they'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: how about a fifth okay? Cool? And then everyone knows, yeah,
Speaker 1: did you just trade? You could trade draft picks for
Speaker 1: information if the other team is willing to do, which
Speaker 1: the Bears could have done it a few years ago
Speaker 1: with the nine Ers in your biscuit. It'd have to
Speaker 1: be more than you just get your pick back, though
Speaker 1: I think it's like you'd have I'll give you a
Speaker 1: fourth round pick for this information if you don't pick
Speaker 1: that guy, though, I get a third rounder back. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's even better. Look at mclovin, But why don't you
Speaker 1: just tell the team you're gonna take a guy who
Speaker 1: you know will already be gone as you're lying and
Speaker 1: you can take it. You say, oh, we're gonna take
Speaker 1: this guy who's going in the second round, so there's
Speaker 1: gonna be so bunch gamesmanship. Yeah, okay, I want to
Speaker 1: see it play out. I want to see a playout,
Speaker 1: good rule approved, seating your rules in. Yes, Pallie, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go quick. But I've brought this up a
Speaker 1: long time ago and Dan kind of liked it. A
Speaker 1: starting position player should have to handle all kicking on
Speaker 1: a football team.
