1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. H I hope you had a great weekend.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: Gangs here ready to go on this Monday. Fritzy Dylan

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: in the back row, Marvin Pauli upfront, yours truly, and

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: the back room guys.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: We'll check in with the host of the World Cup.

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: Rebecca Lowe did a wonderful job. I thought Fox did

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: a wonderful job as well throughout all of this when

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: you consider it was thirty nine days, one hundred and

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: four matches and came down to Spain dominating Argentina. And

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: it's weird to say dominating when you win one nothing

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: an extra time. It should have been five or six

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: to nothing. Argentina hung in there, and you could tell

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: Spain realized if they went to penalty kicks, they might

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: have been in trouble. But they hold on, they dominate,

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: they shut down Messi and they win the World Cup.

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: And by the way, in case you're wondering, I have

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: odds for the next World Cup already sent to me

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: by DraftKings Spain. Spain will be hosting a portion of

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: the World Cup in twenty thirty, then followed by France, Portugal,

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 2: also hosting some of the World Cup England, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Netherlands. Dylan,

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 2: where is the United States on this list?

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: The United States is cruising in at plus eight thousand.

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: Okay, for example, Spain plus four fifty, France plus six hundred,

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: Portugal plus nine hundred, England plus nine hundred, Brazil plus

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: one thousand.

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 4: We're down the list just a little bit, yes, Dylan.

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are tied with Nigeria, Mexico, Japan, and Cameroon.

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Right, there's time for improving, all right. We just

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: need to get somebody to de fact here. Maybe we

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: need we need dual citizenship. Now you want to come over,

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: you'll be a citizen. Kind of a Joe Ellenbiid leaving

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: Cameroon to come to the United States.

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: Chess Paul, we got to hit the portal. Well.

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: Dylan will come up with the poll question. As far

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: as the World Cup goes, I was curious and I'll

51
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: be curious how many in the United States tuned in Ford.

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't exciting, but it was a showcase. It was

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: a beautiful day at the Metal Lands. You just didn't

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: have any scoring. I didn't think you would. In fact,

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: Eric Winolda I said to him last week, first team

56
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: that scores is going to win, and that proved to

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: be the case. And then you have to look at

58
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: the messy moment that he had in this World Cup

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: and it solidified his goat status. They did shut him

60
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: down yesterday, and but Spain shuts down everybody. Three hundred

61
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: and nine goals were scored in the World Cup Spain

62
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: gave up one.

63
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 5: Who stell of a day, stanle of a day, start

64
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 5: of a day, scan of a day.

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: This is the style of the day.

66
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: Brought you by Canadia America. But Argentina could have stolen it.

67
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: If it got into penalty kicks. I think they would

68
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: have won. They had the better goaltender and you have

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: better individual scores.

70
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: There.

71
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: Boy, Spain's got a philosophy and that is a suffocating,

72
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: unbelievable defense. Now, I also said this early in the

73
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: World Cup. We can talk about all the great scores,

74
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: and we did. It's going to come down to defense.

75
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: And you saw that with Spain. I don't care you

76
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: know what league, what sport. Eventually it comes down to defense.

77
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: And you saw that Spain was throwing a no hitter.

78
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: Not a perfect game, close to it, a no hitter,

79
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: but the outcome was still hanging in the balance.

80
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: It was fun to watch.

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: I thought it was great for the United States to

82
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: showcase the event because look, I had two people who

83
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: were involved in this, involved in the World Cup, and

84
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 2: they said this could be a disaster before it even started.

85
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: Tickets you know, sluggish, are we going to have incidents?

86
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: There are gonna be issues security, like they just kept

87
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: running down the list and I kept going ow okay,

88
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: like I seem to go into it where I'm waiting

89
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: for something to happen. It went smoothly, I think for

90
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 2: the most part, I think people had a great experience there.

91
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: Now I don't know if that translates to success for

92
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: US Soccer. I think the guests that we had on

93
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: during the World Cup, I mean Kevin Fraser from Entertainment Tonight,

94
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: Eric Winalda, I think their comments on our show could

95
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: go a long way in helping Team USA. Maybe not

96
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: twenty thirty but maybe twenty thirty four, where we'll look

97
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: back on those comments that were really stinging for USA

98
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: and what's going on inside the world of travel, soccer teams,

99
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: trying to get you know, youth soccer programs, inner city,

100
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: all of those diferent things. Two of the greatest players

101
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: of all time grew up in poverty, Ronaldo and MESSI.

102
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: Now I'm not.

103
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: Saying that's where you're looking, but I'm saying they found

104
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: those players. We need to find those players to help

105
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: them work their way up to maybe get on a

106
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: big stage like this.

107
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 4: So there was a lot that.

108
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: Happened over the course of three weeks, four weeks. But

109
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 2: I thought Fox did a wonderful job. Dylan, let's pull

110
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: question today.

111
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: Well, Dan off of that Spanish defense, Marvin actually sent

112
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: this one over. What's the best defense in sports history?

113
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty six? Spain, the eighty five Bears, two thousand Ravens,

114
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: the Purple People Eaters.

115
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: Well, no, it can't be the Purple People Eaters. They

116
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: didn't win the Super Bowl. Be the Steelers. Steele Curtin

117
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: was to me, that's the most dominating defense I ever saw.

118
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: Now I'm just talking football, but when you're winning four

119
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: Super Bowls and you're and your offense that has Hall

120
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: of Fame players on it at quarterback, at running back,

121
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: your two wide receivers, some offensive linemen, but they're in

122
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: the shadows of your defense, that tells everything you need

123
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: to know. But this Spain team kind of reminded me

124
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: of the Ravens, where the Ravens defense was so great

125
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: they kind of just said to Trent Milfort, give us

126
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: maybe ten points and then we'll win. That's kind of

127
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: what you had with Spain. Their defense was unbelievable and

128
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: they're like, just give us a goal one.

129
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: But it was fun. It was fun to watch.

130
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: Even though there was not a long it felt like

131
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: the field at the metal ends was tilted and everybody

132
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: was towards the other. You know, Spain was always in

133
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: Argentina's end. It just felt like man three quarters of

134
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: the match was played that way, where Spain was in

135
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: Argentina's territory the entire time. Yeah, Paul, they.

136
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 6: Were joking around about the Spain goalkeeper. He didn't do

137
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 6: anything all day. He wasn't asked to do anything all day.

138
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: But it did stand out. I thought it was great.

139
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: There were a lot of stars here. Rebecca Lo does

140
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: a wonderful job, Zula Dan was great, Stu Holden did

141
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: a wonderful job, really sneaky great. Any other pol questions

142
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: here first hour deal?

143
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, Well, thoughts on the World Cup halftime show.

144
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: I loved it, hated it, or didn't watch.

145
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: I didn't need it. I don't need Madonna out there.

146
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: I don't know.

147
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: Justin Bieber, I mean Ted Lasso came out, the Muppets

148
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: were ound. Shakira. Shakira like okay, yeah, all right, yeah,

149
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 2: Well I don't.

150
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 6: Think I'm gonna let you bris smirch Shakira. She gives

151
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 6: you what you want, a little singing, little shaking, and

152
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 6: let's get out of here.

153
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: She could give me more than the hips, don't they don't. Yeah,

154
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't know anything else she does other than that.

155
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 7: Fine.

156
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hey, congratulations, you look wonderful. But Madge

157
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,959

174
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,679

Speaker 2: gets out there. Shakira, Shakira.

181
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: What is she fifty? Maybe a little less than a

182
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say fifty two. I don't know, but I'm

183
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 4: gonna say fifty two.

184
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 5: Closest to the whole.

185
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're you're good? Forty nine years.

00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 7: When you get to sixty? Let's what's the magic number?

00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 4: What happens when she gets hip replacements? Sir disappointed the

00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 4: whole new video.

192
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 8: It changes the whole dynamic.

193
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: By the way, you can buy a portion of the field.

194
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: According to the Athletic FIFA, is is hoping to generate

195
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: over eleven million dollars if all the pieces sell out,

196
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: so you can between four point fifty and twelve hundred

197
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: dollars you can get a patch of grass.

198
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 4: How about that?

199
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: The three thousand dollars version, it's a three by three

200
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: y three section, a gold etched metal souvenir ticket, a

201
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: mini replica World Cup Final ball in a crystal cut

202
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: glass World Cup trophy. All right, sign me up for

203
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: three grand for that. I still couldn't help but watch

204
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: that and say, boy, that field looks gorgeous. Why can't

205
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: the Giants and Jets play on that field? They can,

206
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: It's just the NFL owners aren't going to do it.

207
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Mike Florio from Pro Football talk about

208
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: that moving forward. Not gonna happen any other pole questions,

209
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: By the way, best and worst of the weekend? What

210
00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: you saw that? You like?

211
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: We do it every Monday, Yes, Tom, I want to know.

212
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 8: Is it such a financial burden to switch it to

213
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 8: protect the player's health? But maybe I'm ignorant to if

214
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 8: you've got billions of dollars and you're gonna be able

215
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 8: to have these players last longer playing on grass versus turf,

216
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 8: why they would be so hesitant to do though?

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: What else could it be?

218
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 8: Just it seems like there's more than enough money going around.

219
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 8: The NFL gets bigger and bigger, and the networks and

220
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 8: they all get a bigger share of things, and just

221
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 8: seems like I don't understand why they can't well get

222
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 8: together and do this. It's for the benefit of the

223
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 8: players and being able to stay around longer on their

224
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 8: teams that.

225
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: They well, there's maintenance costs. What's it going to be

226
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: like in December in Green Bay? What's it going to

227
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: be like in December at the metal Land price of

228
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: doing business? Thank you to But they want something that

229
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: they don't have to water, they don't have to cut

230
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: all right, you know what somebody got, you know, the

231
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: medalland's famous for players getting injured in that you know,

232
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: environment on that turf. So you would think, let me

233
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 2: protect my investments instead of saying, next man up, I

234
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: don't want to have a grass field.

235
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, there's an article just yesterday and Forbes about

236
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 6: this topic and they said artificial turf is one cost

237
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 6: up front, but less to maintain over the years. Of

238
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 6: the turf grass is you got to have a staff,

239
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 6: you got to have people deal with it, and it's

240
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 6: not as consistent. They also the NFL or the past

241
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 6: five years has released a few studies air quotes that

242
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 6: said the injuries are similar at both turfs.

243
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: Okay, the Open Championship, you had Ryan Fox win Foxy.

244
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: They like the call came out of nowhere.

245
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: This is the guy who made his PGA Tour debut

246
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: at age thirty seven, and at age thirty nine, he

247
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: rolls in a birdie putt to win for the last

248
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: six holes. That's one of those where you watch somebody

249
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: and you say, that guy's winning the Open Championship. Down

250
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: the stretch, big putts and they thought it was going

251
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: to be around nine or ten under to win it,

252
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: and he rolls in the birdie. After round one he

253
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: was eighty fifth. After round two he was fifty second.

254
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: That's where you just played the long game instead of

255
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: saying I'm gonna try to shoot something really low and

256
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: win it here. It just you don't want to shoot

257
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: something high and take yourself out of the running.

258
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 4: A lot of fun there.

259
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: You had a moment with Bryson de Shambo, he was

260
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: going to take his ball and go home. We'll talk

261
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: about that coming up. And Rory McElroy with one of

262
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,240

281
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: wonderful job as the host with Alexi Lawless, Thierry Henri

282
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: and Zolaton. And we spoke to Rebecca Loe earlier this

283
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: morning before she was getting on her flight. She did

284
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: a great job as the host of the World Cup

285
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: and I started our conversation by asking her which country

286
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: she feels like today based off her performance in that role.

287
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 7: Oh Dad, that's a hard question, you know.

288
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 9: Did okay the group stage held my own in the knockouts,

289
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 9: that's right, will guy.

290
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 4: Are you like, are you like Belgium or.

291
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 7: Oh crikey, that is difficult. We can do Belgium.

292
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, but then they're not to have the United States

293
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 9: and that would make me unpopular. So no, we're not

294
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 9: doing Belgium. I mean, should we do England? Just got

295
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 9: to the semason? No, No, you're ry, Let's not do England. No, No,

296
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 9: I mean I don't know.

297
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 7: I'm not answered that.

298
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 4: I'm it's straight.

299
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 9: Can I just say, Dan, the morning after World Cup Final,

300
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 9: you are straight in with the heart.

301
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 7: That's why I love you.

302
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: That might be the most dominating one to nothing match

303
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: I've ever seen.

304
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, that would be about right.

305
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: Like it was so one sided, but it was so close.

306
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: How do you explain what happened yesterday?

307
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 7: That's football? That is football.

308
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 9: And at one point I was a bit concerned, actually

309
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 9: for the watching millions who probably don't watch a game

310
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 9: of football until the World Cup Final comes around, because

311
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 9: it was nil Neil going into extra time and I

312
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 9: was thinking, come on, guys, this is not a good

313
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 9: advert for the game. But I keep telling everybody it's

314
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 9: the greatest in the world. And I also thought we've

315
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 9: seen this movie before. I think I said that at

316
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 9: some point on the broadcast where Spain have all that

317
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 9: possession and all those shots in Argentina do nothing and

318
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 9: then they then they win it, which is the only

319
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 9: sports you can actually perform Matt adly in and then

320
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 9: win the World Cup. But luckily that didn't happen because

321
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 9: that wouldn't have been right. It was one sided. But

322
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 9: sometimes it takes it takes a while. Then the football

323
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 9: is a game of patience as much as anything else.

324
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 9: So yeah, in the end, as the guy said on

325
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 9: the show Football One, which is the right things fame

326
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 9: with the right winners of the better team. But yeah,

327
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 9: it wasn't the greatest final of all time, that's for certain.

328
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 9: But as okay, we had the greatest World Cup. We

329
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 9: can't have everything down.

330
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: Is that the end of messy on this stage?

331
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 7: I think so.

332
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 9: Although although although coming into this World Cup people had said, well,

333
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 9: he's gone to the Major League soccer and to retire,

334
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 9: so he's not going to be at the level when

335
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 9: it comes to the World Cup, and we were all

336
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 9: proven hugely wrong.

337
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 7: So can you bet against this guy?

338
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 9: I mean thirty nine, he'll be forty two by the

339
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 9: time the next one starts.

340
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 7: Off the bench.

341
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 9: Maybe little cheeky, little last ten minutes in every game,

342
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 9: I'd take him, probably would.

343
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 7: Take him at forty two forty three.

344
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it's reacting because it just happened,

345
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: but he seemed his age yesterday. But I have to

346
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: give Spain all the credit with that, that they probably

347
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: make everybody look a little slower and a little older

348
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: and entire.

349
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think so, but he didn't see in his

350
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 9: age just a week ago, So you know, I do

351
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 9: think you're right. We have to give Spain the credit

352
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 9: for that. I did see still flashes of genius. You know,

353
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 9: I've only I haven't seen MESSI play life that many times,

354
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 9: just because my career has always been Premier League in

355
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 9: England based. I still saw moments that I just thought

356
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 9: this guy's a joke. Still he's just a joke. And

357
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 9: then the rest of the time just watching him walk around,

358
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 9: I mean it's actually he's creating a whole new type

359
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 9: way of playing football that only the topsnop point, not

360
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 9: not one percent can play.

361
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 7: So there were still flashes for me.

362
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 9: He needs a good rest obviously now, but I wouldn't

363
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 9: bet against him for anything down honestly.

364
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 2: Don't What about the ceremony where Argentina has their back

365
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: to Spain as they're celebrating.

366
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 7: I don't like that. I don't like that one day.

367
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 9: I would be amazed if any other country had done that.

368
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 9: I'm really disappointed in the and they're kind of disappointed

369
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 9: that Messi did that too.

370
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 7: I mean, he's a classy guy. That wasn't for me.

371
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 9: As a group of players, that wasn't classy, That wasn't

372
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 9: classy one bit.

373
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 7: That was disappointing. Sets a bad example.

374
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 9: But you know, I don't know that's that's sometimes the

375
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 9: way that Argentina play like they are.

376
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 7: They are an unusual Sorry, that's right.

377
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 9: I'm in an airport, so as people walking by with suitcases.

378
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 9: Sorry if you can't hear me. But it's an it's

379
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 9: an it's a different way of approaching a game.

380
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 7: Let's just put it that way.

381
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 2: We're talking to Rebecca Low, the host of the Premier

382
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: League and of course the World Cup host on Fox.

383
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: If you were going to offer encouraging words for the

384
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: United States about soccer for twenty thirty, go ahead.

385
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 7: I think they may progress. I think they may progress.

386
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 9: Now who will the manager be is the big question

387
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 9: is just how many encouraging words I can offer them.

388
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 9: If they can hold on some ritchie a pocaccino, that

389
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 9: will be the right thing. My senses that they won't.

390
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 9: My sense is that he will leave and return to

391
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 9: the club game. Plenty of really good players. This country

392
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 9: continues to produce really good players. The other most encouraging

393
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 9: thing out of this World Cup is that the country

394
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 9: fell in love with them. And yes, the Belgium game

395
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 9: was a massive letdown of that, there is no doubt.

396
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 9: But I think when the dust are settled, this country

397
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 9: will look back on the World Cup twenty twenty six

398
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 9: down and they will still love that team for all

399
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 9: that they did in the build up to that Belgium

400
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 9: team in that Belgium game. So I think tons of

401
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 9: credit in the bank. The only way is up. Let's

402
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 9: get our heads together them and try and make some

403
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 9: good decisions in this country where football is concerned. We

404
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 9: need a few decisions to start happening so that everyone

405
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 9: is working together and we're not working apart.

406
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: I also think it was important for us to host

407
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 2: it and do a great job hosting. Therefore, I think

408
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 2: we more people here in the United States got to

409
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: witness it. And there are certain sports you have to

410
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: see in person. I think soccer is to see in person,

411
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: Hockey as his sports see in person, and then I

412
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: think you take away a little bit more of the.

413
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 4: Feeling the atmosphere.

414
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: So I think with that building on that probably helped,

415
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: you know, to a certain degree.

416
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think two things on that.

417
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: One.

418
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 9: Isn't it funny when you look back to six seven

419
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 9: weeks ago when everybody was like, Oh, it's going to

420
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 9: be a disaster, that's going to be able to see it,

421
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 9: and you're like, okay, we hear this before every Olympics, Dan,

422
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 9: you and I weren Soji, we heard it before Sogi

423
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 9: and twenty fourteen, we heard it before Rio, Like we

424
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 9: hear it before every major tournament. Everything is pretty much

425
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 9: nearly always okay, and this one was more than okay.

426
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 9: But the other thing is it's not just about twenty

427
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 9: thirty the kids that you're talking about that have watched

428
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 9: this World Cup and maybe not.

429
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 7: Even attended a game, because I know what you mean.

430
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 9: About seeing soccer in person, but I also think there

431
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 9: was something about this World Cup of the time zones.

432
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 7: The way that Fox.

433
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 9: Did it, it kind of encapsulated everything, and it gave

434
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 9: people magic even if they weren't in the stadium.

435
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 7: And I remember as.

436
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 9: A nine year old watching the nineteen ninety World Cup

437
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 9: and falling in love with the game in that summer

438
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 9: of ninety ninety, and I'm getting chills thinking about it.

439
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 9: But I want summer of twenty twenty six, and I

440
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 9: think it will to have affected a whole generation of

441
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 9: say ten twelve year olds, who will take this forward

442
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 9: not just into twenty thirty, but to beyond as well.

443
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 9: And I really think this summer has changed a lot,

444
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 9: which thank goodness, that was the intention.

445
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 7: I think has done it well.

446
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 2: It's a lot of times surprise you a little bit.

447
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: When he said this is it. I'm done with the

448
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: doing studio show.

449
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 9: No, because he had told me a couple of times

450
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 9: that he would be done. I said to him afterwards, though,

451
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 9: what about the return of Satan. That's got a whole

452
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 9: nother great branding situation.

453
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 7: I don't put anything past that guy.

454
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 9: By the way, he's the greatest, and what an absolute

455
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 9: honor to stand next to him for six weeks.

456
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 7: I mean this guy is I've never.

457
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 9: Met anyone like him. I'll ever meet anyone like him again.

458
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 9: I adore him.

459
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 4: He's the best I've avoided bringing up England.

460
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 9: Thank you, Dan, No, I do appreciate that you've show

461
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 9: You've shown some sympathy there for me on this eight

462
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 9: o'clock in the morning, Monday morning after the World Cup.

463
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 9: I'm still hurting, but you know, much with every passing hour,

464
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 9: I get more angry at the way we went out,

465
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 9: but I get more proud of what we did achieve,

466
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 9: which is the best finished since nineteen sixty six, So

467
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 9: you know, I have to be happy with that.

468
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: Dan, Did your son cry when he cried with England?

469
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: Did he cry with the United States?

470
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 7: He didn't? Is that okay?

471
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 9: I feel I feel like maybe he should have done.

472
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 9: He cried with England, definitely. He was very disappointed with

473
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 9: the United States. He was, he was, but but I

474
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 9: think with England it was it was it was a

475
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 9: little closer, you know, semi final. And he knows that

476
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 9: we're both, you know, Mum and Dad are just obsessed

477
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 9: with England, and that he's you know, I think he

478
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 9: gets that a little bit more.

479
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 7: One day he might cry with.

480
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: The US one day I picked England to win.

481
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 7: Did you really, Dan, you didn't tell me that.

482
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: I didn't want to get your whole your thoughts. You

483
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 2: know I love Harry Kane.

484
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 9: Oh well, a legend by the way you've loved him.

485
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 9: You have Harry Kane for blooming years. To be fair,

486
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 9: you were a ground floor investor on Harry Kane.

487
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I thought that this was a different England team.

488
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was different and that's why I'm growing in

489
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 9: love with them every passing day that goes by after

490
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 9: them being knocked out, because they were likable. They seem

491
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 9: to like each other, which often hasn't been a case

492
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 9: with England squads. They're often very sort of divided by

493
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 9: which team they played for domestically. This team was very

494
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 9: united and very likable and gave everything. I was so proud, honest,

495
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 9: they so so proud.

496
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's difficult when you're hosting but you have an

497
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: emotional tie. But you still got to be a professional,

498
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: or at least try to be. But there's certain things

499
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: you can't overcome.

500
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 9: I got to tell you at one point yesterday and

501
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 9: the build up to the World Cup Final, I did

502
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 9: have a moment to think maybe the silver lining here

503
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 9: is England.

504
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 7: I'm in the final.

505
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 9: Because the personal investment into that semi final was very, very,

506
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 9: very difficult when we went out to Argentina. You're right,

507
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 9: you have two professionals, there's no question about it. But

508
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 9: that was I've never experience that sort of full of

509
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 9: different emotions that I had on the semi final when

510
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 9: England went out. So had it been the final and

511
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 9: having been lost, or even quite frankly, had they won,

512
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 9: you might not have seen me for the dust.

513
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 7: I mean, I might not have even been on that

514
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 7: platform mater after the final whistle went.

515
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 9: So that actually, in a funny way, kind of worked

516
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 9: out personally for me that England were on it because

517
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 9: that would have been hard.

518
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you got the third place, A third place, yeah.

519
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 7: Third place.

520
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 9: We love third place. I mean I'm not really a

521
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 9: third place person. It's not like the Olympics for me.

522
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 9: Those bronze medals. I'm not sure we'd be giving out

523
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 9: bronze medals. But it's better to win it than lose it, right,

524
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 9: That's better than fourth.

525
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 7: We'll take it.

526
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. Do they raise a banner somewhere in England?

527
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 9: No banner rays for third, no banner rays. We just

528
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 9: I think we will celebrate the players, manager, the managers.

529
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 7: Another story.

530
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 2: Wonderful job. Thanks, Yes, take a bow, certainly deserve it.

531
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: When's the Premier League start?

532
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: Four weeks on Friday? Let's go, let's go.

533
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 9: We're going to go to England working in the Premier

534
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 9: League form England. So I think it's August the twenty first,

535
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 9: So I'm just going to sleep until then and everything

536
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 9: will be great.

537
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 4: Safe travels.

538
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,560

548
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 5: Good morning.

549
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 10: First of all, Second, this was one of those Friday

550
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 10: afternoon summertime bad news dumps where the NFL announced that

551
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 10: Ryan Gold, the team's director of college scouting, had been

552
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 10: definitely suspended for two violations two separate categories under the

553
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 10: gambling policy, one making parlay wagers and two providing inside

554
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 10: information about the team's draft picks to others, and he

555
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 10: hired a lawyer. Lawyer issued multiple statements on Sunday explaining

556
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 10: his side of things. But I look at it this way,

557
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 10: and a general manager from another team reached out and said,

558
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 10: there's no way they're going public with this unless they

559
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 10: are damn sure it happened. Why are you welcoming this scandal.

560
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 10: The NFL has avoided much of the stuff we've seen

561
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 10: with the NBA and MLB.

562
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 5: Why would you say, hey, everybody, look over here.

563
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 10: We got a guy who was giving inside information for

564
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 10: the purposes of wagering on Cardinals draft picks. Unless you

565
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 10: are one hundred percent sure that the guy did it.

566
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: Okay, But let me understand this. This isn't the top

567
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: five picks of the draft. This is the top five

568
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: picks of the Arizona Cardinals. And is this person in

569
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: the war room, you know, texting somebody moments before, Hey,

570
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: here's the pick.

571
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 10: But we know that that happens anyway, because there's already

572
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 10: a lag between when the pick is made, and when

573
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 10: the pick is announced. That's how and that's why the

574
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 10: NFL is very very clear with the broadcast partners, tell

575
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 10: your reporters not to report until the pick is officially

576
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 10: announced by the commissioner. But yeah, this is a guy

577
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 10: who's in a position and director of college scouting is

578
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 10: the top scout in charge of college players who arrive

579
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 10: through the draft. So unless the GM Monti Austin for it,

580
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 10: is completely freezing out his top executive in charge of

581
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 10: scouting college players, this guy's in a position to know

582
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 10: as it relates.

583
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 5: To their first pick. Third.

584
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 10: Overall, it wasn't hard to know who the first two

585
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 10: picks were going to be. Number one for Nanda Mendoza.

586
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 10: Number two was either going to be David Bailey or

587
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 10: RVL Reese. So someone had to have an idea what

588
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 10: the cardinal's going to do at number three. And then

589
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 10: after that, as you go farther down the board, you

590
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 10: know who the team likes, You know where this is

591
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 10: all going, you know how it's playing out. Even if,

592
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 10: as Ryan Gold's lawyer said, only the owner and the

593
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 10: GM knew the picks, you still are in a position

594
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 10: where you've got a pretty damn good idea which way

595
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 10: the wind's blowing.

596
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: Okay, but what I'm told is he placed a twenty

597
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: five dollars wager parlaying the results of the team's first

598
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: five draft picks. The wager paid out seven hundred and

599
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: thirty two five hundred dollars.

600
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 10: Well, and you're in a position to make a pretty

601
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 10: damn good educated guess as to who's going to be there.

602
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 5: You know who the team likes.

603
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 10: It's not unreasonable, and a lot of things still have

604
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 10: to far your way, because we know once the picks

605
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 10: start it can go haywire.

606
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 5: One pick changes everything. But you know who the team likes.

607
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 10: You got a good sense as to who's going to

608
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 10: be there, and if that's what happened, look, it's still

609
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 10: a lot of luck.

610
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 5: But he's in a position to know who they like.

611
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: He's in a position to.

612
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 10: Know what their board looks like and when the players

613
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 10: are likely to exit the board, and if that's what happened,

614
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 10: he nailed it.

615
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: I mentioned I had a little bit of an update

616
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 2: on Kawhi Leonard that situation, and I've just told maybe

617
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: the NBA is making sure that this didn't happen with

618
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: other teams where you kind of give somebody a little

619
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: sweetheart deal on the side, or you know, we'll give

620
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: you something that's off the books.

621
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: Here does the end it doesn't know.

622
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like the NFL would do this, and

623
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: only if they did it maybe at the quarterbacking position.

624
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: But have you heard anything where there's like sweetheart side

625
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: deals that are off the book salary cap with the NFL.

626
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 10: Well, there was an issue with the Broncos years ago

627
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 10: where they did something with Elway. They created some sort

628
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 10: of an issue after the fact they lost a couple

629
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 10: of third round picks. I believe this was back in

630
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 10: the days before we had an army of people covering

631
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 10: everything that happens in the NFL. But that's out there,

632
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 10: that's already happened. And there was speculation that something was

633
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 10: going on with the Patriots and Tom Brady and TB

634
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 10: twelve being used as an outside resource. And as I've

635
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 10: had it explain to me many times, look, this was

636
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 10: an era where the league was looking for anything they

637
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 10: could use to hammer the Patriots with. The league made

638
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 10: sure there was nothing untoured happening when TB twelve was

639
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 10: this outside resource for the New England Patriots. But Dan,

640
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 10: I remember back in the early days of the salary cap.

641
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 10: I think the forty nine ers went out and bought

642
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 10: a team of free agents, and there was all this

643
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 10: joking and speculation about briefcases full of cash. How could

644
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 10: you ever completely police that unless you truly devote massive

645
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 10: resources to ferreting it out.

646
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: The Aaron Donald situation kind of hanging there a little

647
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: bit feels it feels more likely than less likely, at

648
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: least in my opinion. In your circles, What do you

649
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: think happens with Aaron Donald in the Rams?

650
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 10: I feel like at some level the Rams are milking

651
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 10: this thing just to make it dramatic and cinematic. I mean, hell,

652
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 10: they're in Hollywood, they may as well make it as

653
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 10: interesting as possible. And I also think there's value in

654
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 10: not making it obvious during this period where we're searching

655
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 10: for anything to talk about, because the moment the Rams

656
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 10: add Aaron Donald, if that happens, they've already got the

657
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 10: highest bar of any team in the NFL. They're already

658
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 10: the betting favorites to get to the Super Bowl and

659
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 10: win it. You had Aaron Donald, and the pressure on

660
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 10: that team goes through the roof. And if you're Sean McVay,

661
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 10: you got to be able to motivate your players.

662
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 5: And if all these guys.

663
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 10: Are hearing from everyone they know and looking everywhere they

664
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 10: go that they're already going to win the Super Bowl,

665
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 10: you're still zero and zero with everyone else, and every

666
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 10: team you play is going to be coming at you

667
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 10: even harder, and people are going to be sick about

668
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 10: hearing more and more about how great the Rams are.

669
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 10: And they're in a division that's got two other Super

670
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 10: Bowl contenders in it, so I can understand why they're

671
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 10: taking their time.

672
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 4: I'll take that baggage.

673
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: If I can find out today Aaron Donald's playing, I'll

674
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: be happy to take the baggage.

675
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 10: But good I just think there's no reason when you

676
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 10: combine the fact that we're just trying to make it

677
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 10: interesting and let's just not push the bar all the

678
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 10: way to the top at a time when there's nothing

679
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 10: else to talk about. It's less noticeable when all the

680
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 10: teams are in training camp and.

681
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 5: There's just this flood of news.

682
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 10: That's a tiny little point because no matter when he

683
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 10: comes back, we're all going to be saying it's the

684
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 10: Rams of the field, and a lot of people are

685
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 10: just going to assume the Rams will win it.

686
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 5: And we've seen this before. We know that all it

687
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 5: takes is one injury.

688
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 10: I don't want to put the milkio on anyone, but

689
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 10: all it takes is one injury and everything changes. And

690
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 10: you got a thirty seven year old quarterback with the

691
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 10: history of back problems. Anything can change at any time.

692
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 10: There's no guarantees. As a wise man once said.

693
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: They sweaty talking to Mike Florio Pro Football Talk The

Speaker 2: Big Shield. Big Shield available on Amazon ebook form only

696
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: sports in the age of legalized gambling. When Mike McDonald

697
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: was on the show when we were in Tahoe, he

698
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: said that he had somebody with a conflict of interest

699
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: who might have helped them Seattle beat New England. If

700
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: it's a different team than New England, Mike, do people

701
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 2: care about it as much as they did that?

702
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: He didn't mention a name, but it was the Patriots.

703
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 10: Well, I think that's part of it, Dan, But the

704
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 10: choice of words conflict of interest.

705
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 5: In the twenty five years that I've been covering.

706
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 10: The NFL, the only time the term conflict of interest

707
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 10: has been used is in relation to Tom Brady and

708
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 10: his role as minority owner of the Raiders and primary

709
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 10: broadcaster at Fox.

710
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 5: And that's just been in the past couple of years.

711
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 10: So you say conflict of interest and Patriots are in

712
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 10: the conversation and Brady's getting ready to hire the Seahawks

713
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 10: offensive coordinator to be his head coach, which would give

714
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 10: him a little extra incentive to have this guy riding

715
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 10: into Las Vegas who's got a brand new Super Bowl ring.

716
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 10: He can flash around a locker room that hasn't had

717
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 10: a Super Bowl ring in forty years, forty plus years.

718
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 10: Conflict of interest, I think was the match to the

719
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 10: fuse for the people in New England.

720
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 2: Well Everbreddy thinks it's Brady and it's not. But it

721
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. It's just like people are like, yeah, I

722
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: don't care what you say. It's Tom Brady before I

723
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: let you go. And maybe the biggest reason I wanted

724
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 2: to have you on I couldn't help but look at

725
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: that field at the Meadowlands, and that looked like a

726
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: beautiful field to play football on. But why can't we

727
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 2: get to that point? And that's a field that there's

728
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 2: a history of injuries with that field. But where do

729
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 2: we stand with the NFL NFLPA about implementing these grass

730
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 2: fields again?

731
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 10: Oh Dan, I've got a copy of Big should right here.

732
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 10: I don't know how well you see to cover. My nephew,

733
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 10: Anthony Zeach designed it. It's got a bunch of twenty

734
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 10: dollars bills on it. It's all about money. It's all

735
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 10: about cost, the cost of maintaining a high quality grass

736
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 10: field versus the cost of is laying down a carpet.

737
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 5: The lost revenue.

738
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 10: If you don't have a system to protect the grass,

739
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 10: you can't do all these other events. So you've either

740
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 10: got to have the tray that slides out like they

741
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 10: have an Arizona in Las Vegas. You're going to have

742
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 10: one of these complicated systems like Real Madrid has, where

743
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 10: they take the thing like on an elevator and the

744
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 10: grass field goes underground and then it's covered up by

745
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 10: whatever else they want as their surface. And the problem

746
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 10: is this, it's now a collective bargaining issue. And ninety

747
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 10: two percent of the players can say we prefer grass, well,

748
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 10: at least fifty point one.

749
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 5: Percent have to prioritize grass.

750
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 10: When it's time to negotiate with the league, what are

751
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 10: you willing to give up to get grass fields across

752
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 10: the league? And it's going to be expensive, it's going

753
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 10: to cost money. You're going to say, give up money.

754
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 10: And what the NFL would want is, at a minimum,

755
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 10: they'd want to take the full expense of putting high

756
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 10: quality grass in every stadium, and they'd want to split

757
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 10: it fifty to fifty with the players. And I'm sure

758
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 10: the NFL would put together this ridiculous calculation that would

759
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 10: be trumped up to look even bigger than it's supposed

760
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 10: to be, and they'd say to the players, here's the

761
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 10: price tag for having grass fields.

762
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 5: If you want to share it with this fifty to fifty,

763
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 5: we'll do it. So I think the only way to

764
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 5: do it is to try to shame them into it.

765
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 10: That's why we saw the pr campaign on Friday and Dan,

766
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 10: here's what I would do.

767
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 5: I would go one team at a time.

768
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 10: For example, you got new ownership coming into Seattle, they

769
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 10: got artificial turf there. They need to start a pressure

770
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 10: campaign on Vinode Coslay and his family to do the

771
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 10: right thing by the players and choose to put in

772
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 10: grass there, and I think the way to do it

773
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 10: is focus one team at a time.

774
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 5: But the league's gonna want all the teams.

775
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 10: That currently have turf to hold the rope because they

776
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 10: know they've got something here, they've got something valuable for

777
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 10: the next CBA. So I don't think it's ever going

778
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 10: to change unless teams choose to do it one team

779
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 10: at a time. Back to tom Brady for a moment.

780
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 10: What's he doing slapping Logan and like this we're gonna

781
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 10: be in WWE, right Dan. We all need someone who

782
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 10: will tell us when we're doing something stupid, and nobody's

783
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 10: telling tom Brady he's doing something super and look.

784
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 4: There there's there's money attached to this.

785
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 10: But he's like at some point, I hate the phrase

786
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 10: whenever someone directs to me, you're better than that, because

787
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 10: my response is, well, I'm actually not. But tom Brady

788
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 10: is better than this. Tom Brady is above this. It's

789
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 10: just a bad look. It's hokey and it's goofy, and

790
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 10: I'm not really tapped in to the wrestling crowd. I

791
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 10: got a feeling they're not clamoring for tom Brady to

792
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 10: come running down the the stage and slide into the

793
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 10: ring and jump up and beat the crap out of Logan.

794
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 5: Paul. I'm just said the other word.

795
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 4: He's not gonna He's not gonna beat up Logan Paul.

796
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, if if the script calls for it,

797
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 5: he will.

798
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: But this is what's gonna happen. The Paul Brothers, I

802
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 10: all of us because if they do it right, we're
