WEBVTT - Hour 2 - NFL Roundup, Mike Florio 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.560 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:08.119 Sports Radio. Beat was restored on the field, transferred to 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:12.160 the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment. Currently sedated, 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.960 listed in critical condition. That's all we have, PAULI just 0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:20.200 checked the Buffalo Bills website. There's no further update there. 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.880 We've spoken about the injury. If you missed the interview 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.320 that we did with a reporter who was on the scene, 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.080 Joe Danneman from Fox nineteen in Cincinnati, did a wonderful 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.479 job putting you in the moment down on the field. 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.040 Behind the scenes there at Cincinnati last night with the 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:41.160 Buffalo Bills. We could only see enough that we knew 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.520 how serious it was. And you're watching, and then when 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.159 Troy and Joe Buck kept going to commercial break and 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.720 coming back, and then they would go to commercial break, 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.000 they'd come back as long as that ambulance was still 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.200 on the field. I thought that you had a football player, 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.680 a person who was fighting for his life, and Damar 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:05.440 given CPR. You know, the NFL did not. The NFL 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.000 did a great job in reacting to it. The first 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.000 responders there for both of these teams did a wonderful 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:17.120 job and hopefully saving his life, prolonging his life. But 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.480 you're watching that. And the longer the ambulance stayed on 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.640 the field, the more serious that I realized that it was. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.479 And I didn't think they were leaving that football field 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:31.959 until they had gotten a heartbeat. And the longer they stayed, 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.679 I thought that he might not make it out of 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.040 the stadium, got to the hospital and sedated right now 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.560 in critical condition. But no updates on that, and once 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.120 we get that, if we get that this morning, we'll 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.960 certainly let you know. Also, you have to look at 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.680 what happens to these two teams they have to play 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.840 this weekend. The NFL has to make a decision here. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.320 Do they make a decision today? Is that game going 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.720 to be a tie? Means a whole lot with the standings, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.000 And I'm not being insensitive. I have to cover the 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.360 totality of this story, and that is you have a 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.200 young man who's in a hospital right now, and when 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.680 we get an update, we'll give that to you. But 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.600 the NFL is running a business. Now. There's a part 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.600 of this that feels like it's backlash against the NFL 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.359 because Joe Buck four times last night on the broadcast 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.560 said the players are being told they have five minutes 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.960 to get ready to play. Now. I don't know who 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.040 told Joe Buck that, but it feels like there's a 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:38.000 backlash with the NFL. How insensitive could they be to 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.440 say to these players? I mean, I couldn't imagine even 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.960 if you said you got a half hour, judging from 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.480 their reaction with what was going on right in front 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:52.760 of them. So you know, we're removed from it. We're 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.400 watching on TV. Imagine you're fifteen feet ten ft five 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.200 feet away, your teammate is dying right in front of you, 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.079 and now all of a sudden, you're gonna put him 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.280 in an ambulance and send him on his way, and 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.920 you got five minutes to get ready. It doesn't seem 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:13.440 plausible that they could possibly say that. But Joe, who's 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.680 doing Monday Night football, somebody had to tell him, and 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.200 he told us multiple times last night. Yeah, Seed, how 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.200 sticky of a situation? Do you think this is? Slash 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.800 could be? Well, you have the NFL Troy Vincent, who 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.480 works for the commissioner, and he said afterwards in a 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.800 conference call, we did not tell Joe then, Yeah, Polly, Yeah. 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.200 The conference call was after midnight with Troy Vincent, the 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.960 executive vice president NFL Operations, when asked about that specific 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.320 five minute warning given to the teams, he quotes said, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.160 I'm not sure where that came from. Frankly, there was 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.400 no time period for the players to get warmed up. Frankly, 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.040 the only thing we asked was that referee commute to 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.480 both head coaches that they had proper time inside the 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.080 locker room to discuss whatever they felt was best. So 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:56.960 I'm not sure where that came from. It did not 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.920 come from us. Yeah, that's pretty direct from the NFL. Yeah. See, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.720 so there's a I'm not gonna say somebody isn't telling 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:07.400 the truth, but somebody's clearly mistaken here, right, So maybe 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.400 there was a five minute thing that Troy Vincent's not 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.360 aware of, or maybe there was just a bad report 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.640 that then made it on air from the other side 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.520 of things, you know, but clearly there's miscommunication here. Yeah, 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.760 somebody's not telling the truth here. Now you can say 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:30.320 maybe it's miscommunication, but still five minutes, hey, guys, five 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.200 minutes to get ready to play. That just doesn't seem 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:39.920 plausible in a situation like this, given the reaction, the sensitivity, 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.000 the emotional fallout from that. Even if you said, go 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.480 in the locker room for thirty minutes, we're gonna gather here. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.080 We're gonna make sure he gets to the hospital. Now 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:55.039 come out and play. Even then, we're so accustomed and 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.599 maybe we're callous to it, numb to it. Player gets injured, 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:05.040 players take a knee, player taken off, gives the thumbs up, 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:11.640 and we resume the football game. We see it. Well, 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.919 that wasn't the case here, And that's where you have 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.680 to look at these players as people and say you 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.599 can't play football. We're not playing football. And I thought 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.599 the first person who said it, Booger McFarlane of ESPN, 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:31.200 he said, we're not playing football, and he said it 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.480 early when it was in question. We're not playing football. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.680 There's other things to be thinking about. Yes, now you 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.400 got to start thinking about those other things. This man 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.960 is in the hospital. Now. The NFL has to make 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.720 some decisions here. These players, they have usually Monday or 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.640 after a Monday game, Tuesday you're off and then you 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.720 go back to practice, and then you got to turn 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.000 around and try to play a football game. Here. What 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.520 happens to that game? Last night? Cincinnati leading set than three. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.479 NFL has got to sort through all of this. Yeah more, Yeah, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.200 excuse me, and I forgive me. I think it's a 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.200 different thing because when you see ambulances, they always on 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.720 the field as far as injuries and all that torn 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.039 ACL's broken legs, but not anybody being resuscitated. So I 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.080 think that's the shock was more than anything. Those players 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.600 were just you know, out of it. Well you're not you, 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.600 I mean, you're accustomed to seeing somebody who's injured. I 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.559 get it's football and it happens, but not when they're 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.520 trying to save your life right in front of them. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.080 And that's when you look at the player's reaction. I 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.160 don't need the words of anybody else. All all I 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.880 was looking at was the player's reaction. Then I knew 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.279 this was life and death. Yeah. Yeah, That's why I 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.800 think the five minute thing is is kind of an 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:55.280 important story because it in some angles of this story. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.080 It really shaped some angles of this story, you know, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.839 of the everything that you were just talking about, the 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.760 emotions of the players and all of this, and well 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.760 we got five minutes to warm up. I mean that 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.320 was that became a big talking point and it still is. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.080 It's it feels like a big story. Yeah, po Yeah, 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.320 and a lot of people when after they heard that, 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.640 they start they're showing the sidelines, and they showed Joe 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.520 Burrow grab a ball, and then they show Stefan Diggs 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.800 grab his teammates and he was yelling at them about something. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.120 Maybe get their heads together. Whatever he's yelling. You could 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.040 barely hear what you're saying, but they were. There was 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.400 a couple of people that were preparing to get back 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:28.960 in the game. There were others sitting on the sidelines 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.520 stone face and just looking. But there are other players 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.840 you could see warming up again. Peacock hast is the 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.120 most live sports of any streaming service. Watch live games 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.240 and events from the Premier League, NASCAR, PGA Tour every 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.160 Sunday night football game in this program as well. It's 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.000 all streaming now on Peacock. We don't have a poll 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.840 question today. I didn't know if it was apropos, I 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.840 didn't know if anything was applicable to what happened last night, 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:58.720 and trying to show sensitivity here of what could we 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.920 ask you that you could be part of the program. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.360 Phone calls are welcome today eight seven seven three d 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.560 P Show email adrasdpat dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle, 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.440 a DP show The other story two a tongue of 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.600 violoa likely out as the Dolphins faced the Jets in 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.120 a must win situation. Here we go with concussions, and 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.640 I have been critical of the NFL with their concussion 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:25.160 procedure protocol because I think it needs to change. And 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.800 when I hear, hey, we did everything we were supposed 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:33.720 to do, well, that's not good enough. And as much 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.480 as they've improved tried to improve, we still keep coming 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.840 back to this and here we are with two a 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.360 tongue of violoh who I don't know if even cleared 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:47.040 should be playing again this year, but I do think 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.280 we need to reassess what is NFL protocol when it 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.840 comes to concussions. You know, Kenny Pickett is planning for Pittsburgh. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.920 He's had two concussions. I know you can have my 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.439 old concussions used to be a long time ago. You 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:05.000 got your bell rung. It's just different now. But to 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.400 it probably not going to play for the Dolphins against 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.840 the Jets and it must win situation. Also, we touched 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:15.480 on Donovan Mitchell. He scored seventy one last night against 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.640 the Bulls Bowl Games. Yesterday, Toulane with a wonderful come 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.000 from behind win against USC. And as I said yesterday, 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.800 give me the team who wants to win that game 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:32.840 more that. This is the biggest game in Toulane football history. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.480 For USC, it was a letdown that they didn't make 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.079 the Final four and now you're going to be playing 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.760 in the Cotton Bowl against Tulane. Caleb Williams look wonderful, 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.920 but man where there's some questionable decisions made by USC. 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.280 But Toulane give them credit. They wanted it more than 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.880 USC did. And we hear that sometimes somebody wants it 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.079 more than somebody else and you're thinking, no, they should 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.960 both want it. No, that was not the case. USC 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.640 thinks they're one of the top four teams in the nation. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:10.280 Tulane they won two games last year, great story, and 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.960 they wanted that game more. Penn State blew out Utah. 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:18.360 Utah's quarterback got injured and it was a blowout. After that, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:23.520 the Mississippi State Illinois game. This was one of those 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.320 where and I always want to know and I used 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.320 to be a big better I used to be a 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:34.320 big gambler, but I don't do it. I always encourage people. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.679 If you're gonna gamble, gamble with what you have, not 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.520 what you think you're going to have, and don't chase. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.000 If you lose three games, don't go I'm gonna double 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.520 up on Monday night. Then you're really in trouble. So 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.560 I'm watching the game very end. Mississippi State can they 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.199 cover against Illinois? They're up three, they were favored by 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.520 three and a half, and I'm thinking, oh wow, that's 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.920 a bad beat. And then all of a sudden they 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.920 do that flee flicker whatever lateral back and forth. Here 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.840 we go and Mississippi State takes it back for a 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:15.320 touchdown final eighteen ten ouch. Because imagine, imagine you go, 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.960 I got three and a I'm good. You know, guys 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.000 just don't screw up, all right. They're having fun throwing 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.400 the ball around. Then all of a sudden, you're going 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.880 balls on the feet. No, he's got I just lost. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.839 That's when you go, you know what I'm gonna I'm 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.000 gonna double up. I'm gonna go usc to blow out 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.120 to Lane. And then that doesn't happen. Then you go, 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.959 Utah is gonna beat Penn State. You know, then you're 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.200 in trouble. That's when you start chasing. Yeah, Seaton, there 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.800 was this moment in the all of those flee flickers 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.960 right where the ball is just flying around all over 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.160 the place and one of the Illinois players gets popped 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.520 and the ball flies straight up and goes right to 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.360 another Illinois player who's like cutting left to right, and 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.640 in that moment you're like, holy crap, it's gonna work, 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.920 and then bang, another dude gets smashed, Like oh man, 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.800 yeah it feed. It felt so close at one moment 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.000 where it was like, that's exactly the kind of lucky 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.240 break that happens in this kind of play in order 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.680 for it to work. L s Hue roughed up produce 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.920 sixty three to seven. I think yes they did, and 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.800 yes they did to Lane was down sixteen in the 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.240 fourth quarter. Penn State used some big plays to win 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.760 by fourteen against Utah. Not a good bowl season for 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.800 the Big Ten. Speaking of which Mike Floria was going 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.120 to join us. Coming up, we'll talk about what happened 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.839 last night, what are contingency plans for the NFL for 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.000 these two teams coming up this weekend, But also some 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.320 light stories about Jim Harbaugh going back to the NFL. 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:50.640 Where's this come from? Where's this coming from? He'd take 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.040 a job if offered. I saw a report Bruce Felden, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.760 well respected, well connected college football ride. He'd take one 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:06.840 if it's offered. This is driving me crazy. Why because 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:11.160 who if if offered a job, he might take it? Yeah, 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.080 no kidding. That's a blanket statement over every living person. 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.240 If you're offering the right job, you might take it. Yeah, 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:22.120 no kidding, that's not news. I wonder if Jim Harbaugh says, 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.840 I don't want to deal with an ill anymore. I 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.520 don't want to be recruiting. I've taken them to the 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.480 final four twice. We beat an Ohio State back to 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.720 back years. It's not going to get any better than 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:38.160 this and probably not going to get any better than this. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:43.120 So if you don't go now, do you ever go? 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.240 I always love when coaches stay. Now it's a better 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.560 story when they leave, because then we could talk about 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.319 all the possibilities and why they left, and buyounce and 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.320 bad blood or any of that stuff. It's it's better content. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.360 But I love it when coaches stay. But I grew 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.560 up in an arrow where coaches stayed. Now you know 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.320 coaches are in the transfer portal. As much as players 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.920 are Yes, Ton, couldn't Michigan have the same attitude at 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.720 this point? You know, he's flirting with the NFL again. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.360 This as far as Hobo is going to take this team, 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.280 maybe it's time for a change. He wants to go, 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.080 We're not going to play this game and worry every 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.440 other year. If he's staying on, I don't think Michigan 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.360 is in a position to go, hey, Jim, we're gonna 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.800 move on from you. Hey, you're flirting with the NFL Harball? 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.800 If I'm horriball and say, hey, I can't control these rumors, 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.280 I mean he can, but he's probably going edge flattering 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.680 and you guys should be lucky that you got me here. Hey, 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.560 ask him if he's all in or that's how dare 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.560 you asked? Jim Harball the guy that beat Ohio's. All 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.480 he has to do is say yes, I'm all in? 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.200 Then what happens? He's got a three million dollar buy 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:57.680 on who are you going to replace him with? Not? Good? Yeah? 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.480 Playing do you think that the story is based off Harbaugh? 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.280 Third party putting it out there publicly? The NFL like 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.040 I'm open for business, but I have complete deniability. Well, 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.240 he wanted the Vikings job, the Vikings turned him down, 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.120 or did he want a raise based off flirting with 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:17.120 the Vikings? No, he got turned down. Okay, yeah he 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.320 got turned down. He can't coach on a dome. He's 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.240 not a dome guy, No way, Jim Harbor cannot coach 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.480 on a dome right there. They should should never coach 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.960 on a dome. That's so soft? Yeah, oh, real quick? 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.560 Did you I buried the lead? Did you see that? Um? 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.000 Jim Harbaugh was not wearing his traditional khakis in the 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.240 bowl game the other day? If I knew that, I 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.080 would have totally done. I did. I did? I should 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.120 have called you guys him. He has to accept the 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:43.680 pay cut a while back, so maybe this is his 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.760 here's my chance to recoup some of that. And if 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:47.640 I'm the hot ticket now and they don't want me 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:48.920 to go to the NFL, I want me to stay 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.280 about making things right by me and get me some 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.480 of that money back. Is Michigan ceiling the Final four? 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.560 I thought they were bigger program. I thought their ceiling 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.400 would be a national title or goal. Well they're closed, 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.560 but this might be as close as they get two 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.600 straight years. You got there beat Ohio State, but I 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.480 don't know that might be your ceiling. We'll talk to 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.720 Mike Florio, We'll see if he has any further information 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.080 on last night. And then moving forward, and once again 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:25.000 we understand the sensitivity of this. I hope you have 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.600 taken that from this program over the years. We're trying 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:33.000 to be fair to the totality of the entire situation here, 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.880 not just his health. And as we move forward the schedule, 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.000 end of the regular season, all of them more phone calls, 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.920 we'll get to those coming up as well.

Don't 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:19.840 have any update so far, has the NFL or Buffalo 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:24.240 Bills said that when they could provide a further update 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.560 on his health. Mic The last update that we've seen 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.959 Dan one forty eight am from the Buffalo Bills, explaining 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:36.600 that DeMar Hamlin had cardiac arrest, heartbeat was restored and 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.960 is at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, sedated and 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.399 in critical condition. There's been no further update from that. 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.639 Jordan Rooney, a marketing representative and a friend of Damar 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.120 Hamlin and the Hamlin family, was making the rounds this 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.200 morning Good Morning America and elsewhere, saying they're taking it 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.560 minute by minute at this point confirming he is sedated 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.719 and doctors continue to evaluate and treat DeMar ham The 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.879 NFL's reaction to this as far as the game itself, 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.320 what kind of time frame do you think the NFL 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.119 is under to let us know is this a tie? 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.600 Can they play this game? The importance of it. There 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.200 was a conference call held just after midnight and Jeff Miller, 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:22.679 the NFL's chief spokesperson, said that there will be a 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.600 conversation at the appropriate time about the game, that that's 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.439 currently not a consideration. The reality, though, is time is 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.800 passing as we await the appropriate time, and I agree 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:33.760 it's not the appropriate time for the NFL to make 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:39.120 any decisions. But four days from now, the week eighteen 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.400 games begin. Five days from now, the Bills are due 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.800 to play a team other than the Bengals the Patriots. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.840 The Bengals are due to play the Ravens, so at 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:53.040 some point decisions will make themselves and Dan, I see 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.640 two possibilities here. I hadn't thought of declaring the game 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.359 a time. My thought was, Number one, you play Bills 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.399 Bengals this weekend bump week eighteen back wipe out the 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.600 two week break between the conference championships and the Super 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.000 Bowl like they did back in two thousand and one, 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.359 where Week two was taken out and tacked onto the 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.119 end of the season. The two week by was eliminated. 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.359 That's one possibility. The other possibility would be to say 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.920 game's not going to be played. Bills and Bengals play sixteen. 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.399 Playoff positioning will be based on winning percentage. They were 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.680 ready to do that in twenty twenty during the pandemic 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.480 when they assumed there would be canceled games and there 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.840 just weren't. The other reality, though, Dan, is when will 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.600 these players be ready to play? The top concern is 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.399 to mar Hamlin. The secondary concern is the mental health 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.160 of the players who witnessed it. Think of the trauma 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.840 that the rest of us experienced seeing it through TV. 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:51.520 If you were there on the field and you experienced 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.240 it firsthand, lived at firsthand. When will you be ready 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.000 to play football again? I don't know the answer to 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.480 that question, and I think right now nobody knows the 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:02.240 answer to that question. That is something that the NFL 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.320 needs to take up again at the appropriate time, and 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:08.360 we don't know when the appropriate time will be. Speaking 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:12.520 of the game, the NFL kind of the time lapse 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:14.200 of were they going to play? Were they going to 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:17.439 come back? Joe Buck mentioned four times that you're going 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.000 to get a five minute warm up period and then 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.959 come back and play. The NFL said, no, that's not 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:27.679 the case. Why the miscommunication between the NFL and what 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:33.880 ESPN was reporting. Dan The best I can glean from 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.760 this because Troy Evince, at the executive VP of Football Operations, 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.639 on the conference call I mentioned earlier, was very very clear. 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:43.440 He said, I don't know where that came from, and 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:50.680 it's insensitive. It's ridiculous to even have that out there. Now. 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:57.080 It's possible that standard procedure when there is an injury 0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:00.160 that stops the game for a certain period of time, 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.520 that there's a minimal amount of time that goes by 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:07.760 that they'll say the teams get five minutes to get 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:11.560 ready to resume that someone was operating off of that 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.760 manual until they realized we're dealing with a situation for 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:17.359 which there was no precedent, there is no manual, and 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.600 that became the right solution. So they got to the 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:22.680 right place. And it may just be as folks were 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:24.720 trying to do the best they could along the way, 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.720 someone thought that that would be the procedure that would 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:31.480 be implemented. But it became abundantly clear that the teams 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:34.640 were not in a position that they could continue last 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:36.399 night in the NFL made the right decision at the 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:38.240 end of the day. But I wonder did the NFL 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.800 make this decision or did the head coaches and the 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.680 captains make this decision that they weren't ready to play football, 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.960 Because it felt like they were passing the phone around. 0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.680 You saw the two head coaches conferring the NFL rep 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:56.639
