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 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two. 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: On this Thursday, Lewis Riddick from the Mothership will join us, 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 2: get his thoughts on the Giants, closing in on John 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: Harball not official yet, and then we'll start to look 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 2: at some of these other coaching vacancies. 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 3: Eight seven seven to three. 8 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 2: DP Show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handled at 9 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 2: DP show. Just got this from Pat forty, great college 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: football writer, college basketball writer. Federal investigators are filing sports 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 2: bribery and wire fraud charges against twenty people in relation 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: to game fixing, point shaving, and performance manipulation in college basketball, 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: and among those several former players. So keep an eye 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: on this. But Pat forty is reporting it's it's not 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: a question of if, but when, just there's money, and 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: it feels like, as I've said before, nobody's going to 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: be watching this game or this performance. A couple of 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: missed free throws. We don't cover this spread and Vegas 19 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 2: has to monitor this. That's their livelihood. But the only 20 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: way this really goes crazy is if you have a 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: marquee player who's involved in something like this or an 22 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: important game, but most of your important people are already 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: making good money, so you don't want to jeopardize that 24 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: it's the person who is not getting big nil money 25 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: or playing for a school. That nobody would ever think 26 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: that this could happen, that we would be doing this, 27 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: but Vegas is keeping an eye on this. But Pat 28 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: Forty reporting that up to twenty people, Yeston, I. 29 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: Feel like you would. 30 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 4: Maybe I just don't get it, but I feel like 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 4: if you're a player, I feel like it would be 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 4: hard to shave points. But maybe it's just not. 33 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: Well, all you have to do is now thankfully they 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: took away the prop bets from college kids, which I'm like, uh, helloo. 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 2: But all you have to do you don't have to 36 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: lose a game. You just have to know that it's 37 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 2: nine points and then do something around that to make 38 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: sure that those who think you're going to cover the 39 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: nine or you're not going to cover the nine, you 40 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: make sure you take care of that. And it could 41 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: be and in basketball it's five guys. It doesn't take 42 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: long to be able to manipulate something like that. 43 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 4: Yes, you like, all of a sudden, you're like, dang, 44 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 4: dribble the ball off my foot again. 45 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: You can miss a shot. You can miss a shot 46 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: and nobody would think anything of that. You missed a 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: shot happens all the time. Missed a free throw, it 48 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: happens all the time. You know, the obvious turnover where 49 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: you throw it out of bounds or dribble it off 50 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: your foot or whatever, then that can be suspicious. But 51 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: if you miss a shot, you miss a shot or 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 2: two or three. 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, Paully in the book and the documentary about BC 54 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 5: basketball in the late seventies and the point shaving the 55 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 5: first few games, they said you could still win the 56 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 5: game again, win by ten instead of whatever, and they 57 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 5: had to have the point guard involved. They said they 58 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 5: couldn't do it without the point guard. And they just 59 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 5: made a couple misses, a couple passes went out of bounce, 60 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 5: and then they asked them to actually lose a game. 61 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 5: And that's where the players were like, no, we're going 62 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 5: to stop, and we're gonna call. You can't call the cops, 63 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 5: you can't call the NCAA. 64 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: Speaking of college, cam Newton snubbed by the College Football 65 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, So the doors of the College Football 66 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame opened on Wednesday to welcome in twenty 67 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: two new members. So this is an article that is 68 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: from Auburn Football that Cam was snubbed by the College 69 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame, mark Ingram first Alabama player elected 70 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: from the Nick Saban era. Let's see and then they say, well, 71 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: where's Cam Newton? He won the Heisman carrying his team 72 00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: to a national title. Says he fell short of the 73 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: required threshold for induction. I don't know what the threshold is. 74 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: Wisconsin running back Monty Ball got in on his first try. 75 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: He was a big deal there for a couple of 76 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: years at Wisconsin. Let me see any other Ooh, Jordan 77 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: Lynch got in. Jordan Lynch, former Northern Illinois quarterback, Did 78 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: he get in? 79 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 3: Yes? 80 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 5: He had a monster's career. 81 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: He didn't have a Cam Newton career. 82 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: He had a longer career than more than the one 83 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 5: year career. 84 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: Cam Newton had an incredible impactful and might have been 85 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: the best quarterback that we've ever seen in college foot It'd. 86 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 5: Be fair to say Cam Newton's season is at worst 87 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: the top three single seasons in college football quarterbacking history. 88 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 5: Here's the I've looked back at this a lot. I 89 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 5: followed the College Football Hall of Fame. They don't have 90 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 5: a normal like five years. Now you're on the ballot 91 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 5: and you go, let's put this way and Doma can 92 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 5: Sue got in one of the great defensive tackles in 93 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 5: college football history. He graduated in two thousand and nine, 94 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 5: so he had to wait fifteen years. 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: Well, eligibility begins ten seasons after your college career is over, 96 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: so you got to wait ten years before you're inducted. 97 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: All right, So twenty two players got in and Cam 98 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: Newton didn't. He'll get in, but hey, you know what, 99 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: it gives him a topic on his podcast. Wasn't he 100 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: upset that the Colts didn't reach out to him when 101 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: they brought in Philip Rivers? 102 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 3: Like, how dare you not reach out to me? 103 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: But he insisted on wearing that cowboy hat when he 104 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: was on the field, and they couldn't find a helmet 105 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: that would fit over that. 106 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, just because of who was on that Auburn team. 107 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 6: He dragged the Auburn teams to the national championship that 108 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 6: had Nick Fairley and who else? Yeah, I don't remember either. 109 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 6: Like Joe Burrow, he was throwing the two All Pro 110 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 6: NFL wide receivers in college Johnny Manziel. Mike Evans deserves 111 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 6: like an arm or a leg when that hides me, yes, 112 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 6: because or at least the hands, at least whenever he 113 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 6: was in trouble, let me just throw him in the air. 114 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 6: Mike Evans will go get it. Like who was on 115 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 6: that team? 116 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? Who was it? 117 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 5: The running back was Michael Dyer? Really nice running back? 118 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 3: Yeah. 119 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 2: But we had Gary Danielson on longtime CBS analyst and 120 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: I said, who's the best player you ever saw? And 121 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,239 Speaker 2: he said Cam Newton because of what Cam did at Auburn, 122 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: with what he had at Auburn, certainly offensively. 123 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: You know, it's I would love to vote on these. 124 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: Committees, but it is a thankless job because hey, I 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: just changed the lives of twenty two people, and then 126 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: there's going to be the next twenty people that you 127 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: didn't change their lives or you gave them disappointment. 128 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: Same thing with the Hall of Fame. I've never voted 129 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: on those. I've only voted. 130 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: For like regular season awards with the NBA, and I 131 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: vote for the Heisman. But Cam Newton not in. I'm surprised, 132 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: but he will get in. I go back to Christian Laightner. 133 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: I've been banging the drum for Christian Latner being in 134 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: the Basketball Hall of Fame given what he did in college. 135 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: Coaches get in for what they did in college. Christian 136 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: Laytner should be in the Basketball Hall of Fame. And 137 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: it's not the NBA. It is the Basketball Hall of Fame. 138 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: Nay Smith. 139 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, and I am with you only because of 140 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 6: who's gotten in. Guys like Dino Raja and Tony Kok 141 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 6: coach and Vladi Devac are in the Basketball Hall of Fame. 142 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 6: So I am with you completely on that aspect. 143 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: Bloody debak. 144 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: All right, some phone calls coming up, by the way, 145 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: Good morning if you're watching on Peacock. That's our streaming 146 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: partner RG three. RG three didn't get into the Hall 147 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: of Fame this time around. We'll talk to him coming 148 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: up final hour, and we'll also talk to Lewis Riddick 149 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: of the Mothership coming up. But the reports are that 150 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: John Harball and the Giants are close to solidifying a 151 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: contract that'll pay him probably twenty million dollars over the 152 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: next five years. Now we have eight coaching vacancies. We'll 153 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: talk about that coming up. Seaton Poll question today eight 154 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: seven seven three DP show operator Tyler sitting by, He'll 155 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: take your calls. What are we going to go with 156 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: in hour two? 157 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 4: We have right now? We have up there. I'd rather 158 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 4: be a starter at Nebraska or a backup at Oregon. 159 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 4: Forty excuse me, seventy four percent of the audience have 160 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: a starter at Nebraska. And is John Harbaugh in better 161 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 4: football situation now than he was a month ago? Sixty 162 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 4: one percent say no. 163 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: Well, he had a team that was a super Bowl 164 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: caliber team. 165 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: I think he needed a fresh start. 166 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 7: Yeah. 167 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 4: A month ago he was fighting for the playoffs. 168 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I think for him personally, you know this, 169 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 2: this allows him to show that he can build a team, 170 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: he can be the CEO. I don't like he didn't 171 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: want to leave Baltimore. Tomlin wanted to leave Pittsburgh. John 172 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: did not want to leave Baltimore. So maybe you look 173 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: at it that way that he wanted to stay at 174 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: a place that didn't want him. So how can this 175 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: be a better place? I think it will turn out 176 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: to be a better place for him. I think he 177 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: had gone as far as he could go. And if 178 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: you can't get that team over the top with that 179 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: quarterback and that talent and that running back. It is 180 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: time to move on. Same thing with Tomlin. You know, 181 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: as great as he is, oh man, he's the CEO, 182 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: and that's the guy you want and players will run 183 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: through a wall for. 184 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: But they didn't. 185 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: They didn't accomplish anything in the last ten years other 186 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: than hey, we're better than average and we made it 187 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: into the postseason. So it was time to move on. 188 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: Step down. And you know, he's going to get an 189 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: opportunity to do TV, and I don't know if he's 190 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: going to be good in TV. There are guys who 191 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: have been good in TV or were good in TV 192 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 2: that I never thought they would be. And then the 193 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: other way around, where you go, well, that guy, he's 194 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 2: got a lot of personality. If you would have said 195 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: Sterling Sharp was going to be good in TV, I 196 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: would have been probably on the other side of that. 197 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: But then meeting him and understanding his personality and his 198 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: knowledge of football, I go, no, he'll be successful. But 199 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: there are certain guys where you go, he's a good 200 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: analyst for a game, and that guy's good for the studio. 201 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: But I don't know if Mike Tomlin's going to go. Hey, 202 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: I can give you fifteen seconds on this or in 203 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: the studio. Hey, I've got an answer. I already know 204 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: what your question is going to be. In the game, 205 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 2: you don't know what's going to happen. Therefore, you better 206 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: be really good on your toes. You better be able 207 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: to add lib, break down something. What do you see 208 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: sense a humor timing getting along with your partner. There's 209 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: a lot that goes on you when you have a 210 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: successful broadcast team. It is more than just the two 211 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: guys on the air. It's everything that goes along with that. 212 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: And like Tony Romo and I said this before, Jim 213 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: nance is unbelievable, even better than he's ever been because 214 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: he has to be, because I think Tony puts him 215 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: in a position where Jim's got to clean up the mess. 216 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: Tony came out of the gate. I didn't think he 217 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 2: would be good in TV. I remember Rich Eyesen telling 218 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: me that he was part of the audition with Tony 219 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: said he's going to be great. I go, really, he 220 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 2: was refreshing. But this is what I would say to 221 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 2: anybody who's doing that job. You know the players now, 222 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: but when you get to year seven or eight or nine, 223 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: you have to do even more homework. You can't go 224 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: a thirty two or forty five or fifty four when 225 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: you're out of the game, like Tom Bray, the further 226 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: he's removed, the more he has to dedicate himself to 227 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: knowing who these players are. 228 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: You can't just throw out a number. 229 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: Now, if you were playing, you can say that, hey, 230 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: thirty two or forty five or fifty four. When you're 231 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: the analyst, can't do that. And Collinsworth had to rededicate himself. 232 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: Troy Aikman had to rededicate himself. If you want to 233 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 2: do this for a long haul, you got to know 234 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: who these players are. 235 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 8: Yes, Tod, I know it's not easy in the moment 236 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 8: to look down, but they have roster sheets and all 237 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 8: the information that's in front of them. I know that's 238 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 8: you know, in that second you can't necessarily glance and 239 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 8: find number fifty three or whatever, but they have a 240 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 8: lot of that stuff at their fingertips. 241 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: Well, you got a spotter who's there to help you, 242 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: like they'll point out who that guy is. 243 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: You just you know, you got to do your homework. 244 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 2: And Tony has been labeled as somebody who's not doing 245 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 2: his homework, whether it's true or not. But you know 246 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 2: you got Jim nanc who's doing an unbelievable job. 247 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: There are too many. 248 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: Rumors, whispers articles about Tony that you know some of 249 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 2: this has to be true. And did they have an 250 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: intervention with him to say, Tony, you got to go 251 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: back in and you got to study. 252 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 3: You know you can't get by going. 253 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: I don't know, Jim, I don't know what's gonna be 254 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 2: a runner bas We're gonna see, like that's not an 255 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 2: analysis there. And I think Aikman in the last couple 256 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: of years, I just think he doesn't give a bleep. 257 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 2: Like he gets on there and he's going to tell 258 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: you what he thinks. And he's done a really good job. 259 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: Greg Olsen has done a really good job. I think 260 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: JJ Watt is doing a good job. But he's got 261 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: Iron Eagle with him that helps so much and having 262 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: fun doing the game. You know, you go back to 263 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: Madden in summer. All Here's what I was told a 264 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 2: long long time time ago. Work really hard to make 265 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: it seem like you're not working hard. 266 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 3: That's it. 267 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: It's just preparation. Bob Constas would work really hard at 268 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 2: making it look easy and it's not. That's what great 269 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 2: ones do. They make it look easy and it's not. 270 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 2: We'll take a break, we'll talk to some of these 271 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 2: coaching vacancies.

And we'll go around 273 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: the rest of these openings.

He 301 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 7: was an assistant. Don't know if he's a grad assistant 302 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 7: or just an assistant on our staff at the University 303 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 7: of Pittsburgh when I was there as a freshman and sophomore. 304 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 9: I believe he was there with his dad, Jack So, 305 00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 9: who was a great friend of Mike. 306 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: So. 307 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 7: I've known John a long long time. I know what 308 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 7: his family values and how they look at the game 309 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 7: of football. I've been able, I've been fortunate enough, along 310 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 7: with our team to call multiple Money Night games and 311 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 7: talk to him multiple occasions about team building, player development, 312 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 7: roster construction, coaching staff construction, philosophical beliefs. You know, as 313 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 7: far as how the game needs to be played. And 314 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 7: I'll tell you to me, he is the true definition 315 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 7: of a CEO when you're talking about a head coach 316 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 7: and what that role really does entail, because he started 317 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 7: off as a special teams coach, right, and then Andy 318 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 7: gave more exposure to defense to kind of round out 319 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 7: his resume a little bit more when he was coaching 320 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 7: there so he could become a head coach. I think 321 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 7: he is someone who you know on the way out 322 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 7: in Baltimore, like, something just doesn't sit well with me 323 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 7: with the way that all went down because of the 324 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 7: role that I know that player accountability plays in team underperformance, right, 325 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 7: And obviously we live in a world in a society 326 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 7: where everyone's looking for I gotta find that guy who 327 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 7: I can hang it on, that guy who I can 328 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 7: put it around his neck, and that guy who I 329 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 7: can hold accountable. 330 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 9: And there's a lot of. 331 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 7: People who behind the scenes who sit back and just 332 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 7: kind of go, who will I escape that one? 333 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 9: Who? 334 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 7: Well, I escape that There's a lot that went into 335 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 7: that team's underperformance, in my belief, and I think, yeah, 336 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 7: spinning it forward, I love what coach day Ball did 337 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 7: as far as really vouching for Jackson Dart and kind 338 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 7: of selling him to John and obviously ownership up there 339 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 7: is going to give him everything that he needs and 340 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 7: it's a quick trip right up ninety five man for him, 341 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 7: which is super cool. And I think he's gonna do 342 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 7: a hell of a job. I think he's gonna be 343 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 7: recharged and kick it right in the ass like he should. 344 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 3: Was this the best opening in your opinion? 345 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 7: I think because of the quarterback situation, in the young 346 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 7: pieces situation where if you were like to list the 347 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 7: top five positions on a football team that you needed 348 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 7: to have in place in order to then fill out 349 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 7: everything around it. Yeah, I think when you look at 350 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 7: the fact that you have Jackson Elik coming back, you 351 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 7: have edge pass rushers, you have a guy who can 352 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 7: be a workhorse every down back, he's going to still 353 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 7: need to fix that offensive line and make it something 354 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 7: that becomes more consistent. Yeah, I think there's a lot 355 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 7: of things in place right there. 356 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 9: Now. 357 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 7: Obviously, player identification, selection, development, all that stuff has to 358 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 7: still happen. 359 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 9: But yeah, a lot of the foundation is right there. 360 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 9: It really is. 361 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 7: And I think, but you know, the Big Blue fan 362 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 7: base is as passionate as there is in football. There's 363 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 7: a lot of alumni who are sitting there going thank you, 364 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 7: thank you, you know, and I think he's going to 365 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 7: have a lot of support behind him and a lot 366 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 7: of wind pushing him along to where I think this 367 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 7: is going to be a spot where now the giants, 368 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 7: Giants are gonna be players again for real. 369 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 2: Let's take out the legacy of the Steelers. Let's just 370 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: look at what that roster is. 371 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 9: Mm hmm. 372 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 3: How good a job is this? 373 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 9: Look? I think the number one. 374 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 7: Okay, So when you look at how good of a 375 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 7: job is it? If we're talking about excuse me, ownership, structure, 376 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 7: instability plus GM quarterback, all that alignment that really does factor, 377 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 7: and know how good of a job is Look, ownership 378 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 7: quarterback ownership is rock solid. So you know that they're 379 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 7: gonna there's someone who are gonna really try and identify 380 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 7: a person that they think is going to be long 381 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 7: term and they're gonna give them a lot of leeway 382 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 7: in order to kind of learn on the job, just 383 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 7: like they did with Mike, just like they did with 384 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 7: coach Kyleer, just like they did with Chuck Nole. So 385 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 7: I think that obviously makes it attractive immediately number one, 386 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 7: because you know you're gonna have time Number two, you 387 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 7: know you're gonna have time because they don't have a quarterback. 388 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 7: So I think that may knock it down for some 389 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 7: and people are gonna go, well, what the hell they're 390 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 7: gonna do there, Well, that's a great question. Well that's 391 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 7: that's part of the deal. That's why they're kind of 392 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 7: in this situation in the first place. Is kind of 393 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 7: what more war mic out, I believe at the end, 394 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 7: along with a bunch of other things, the fact that 395 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 7: they just couldn't get that position right. But I think 396 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 7: once they figure that out, I think there are some 397 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 7: young pieces on the offensive line. 398 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 9: I think you have to continue. 399 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 7: To fill out the wide receiver corps around DK Metcalf 400 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 7: and make sure that that is that is a position 401 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 7: of strength running backs a position of strength. Defense is 402 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 7: aging and in probably a little bit too high priced 403 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 7: for long term sustainability and needs to be revamped and rebooted. 404 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 7: But there's this So there's so many things though, that 405 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 7: will make that place attractive to top level coaches for sure. 406 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 7: And number one is the fact that they're not just 407 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 7: going to turn over coaches at the first sign of 408 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 7: there being some kind of adversity like every like so 409 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 7: many other places do. And that's probably the number one 410 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 7: thing that perspective head. 411 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 9: Coaches should be looking for. 412 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,719 Speaker 7: How much time is the coach going to give you, 413 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 7: how much I mean, is the owner going to give you? 414 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 7: How much support are they going to give you? 415 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 9: And then how much suppor are they going to give 416 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 9: you to go out and get the assets that you need. 417 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 7: Mister Roney will do what he needs to do in 418 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 7: order to get them what they need to get to 419 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 7: make this team successful. 420 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 9: Simple as that. 421 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 7: Then it's up to Omar and whoever they pick to 422 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 7: get the job done. 423 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 2: But you look at certain openings, you got to win now. 424 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: In Pittsburgh, it's not just get to the playoffs, you 425 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: got to win now. In Baltimore, it's not just get 426 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: to the playoffs. Whereas Atlanta, Miami, Cleveland, Arizona, Tennessee, even 427 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 2: the Giants, you get a grace period. You walk into Baltimore, 428 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 2: you better make the playoffs and pick the same way. 429 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what's interesting about that. 430 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 7: I kind of look at those two teams a little 431 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 7: bit different simply because look, in Pittsburgh, you better win now, 432 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 7: simply because Mike's always kept it above water, right, he 433 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 7: was always in the hunt, in the hunt, in the hunt, 434 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 7: but just couldn't get over the top for whatever reason. 435 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 9: It was whatever you want if you want to pin 436 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 9: it on his scheme. 437 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 7: Strategy, tactics, lack of quarterback play, whatever you wanted to 438 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 7: pin it on. But the fact is now that one 439 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 7: crucial piece that you know, we'll give you a chance 440 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 7: to win now is not there. 441 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 9: So there's gonna be need to be an adjustment of 442 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 9: expectations there. 443 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 7: There just is, and I think and I think mister 444 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 7: Roney will figure like he knows that although he says, hey, look, 445 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 7: this isn't a retool, I mean, this isn't a rebuild. Okay, 446 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 7: you can say that now, but the reality is, what's 447 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 7: your answer then, what's your answer at quarterback at Baltimore? 448 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 9: I agree with you. 449 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 7: For sure, you better win now. And I'll tell you what, 450 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 7: I'll even take it a step further. The players that 451 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 7: are there, they're the ones who better make sure that 452 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 7: they win now because one of the reasons why I 453 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 7: think one of the primary reasons why John is not 454 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 7: there is because the player well, there's a number of 455 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 7: different things. One we talked about this being maybe one 456 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 7: of the best rosters in football, et cetera, et cetera 457 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 7: all the time. Eh, this year maybe not. Maybe look 458 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 7: at their front seven and look at how how many 459 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 7: injuries they suffered on the front that really did limit 460 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 7: the things that they could do defensively. But number two, 461 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 7: they're best players. Need to practice, need to hold themselves accountable, 462 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 7: need to be held accountable, need to know the scheme 463 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 7: inside and out, need to be able to execute at 464 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 7: a high level at all times. And those are things 465 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 7: that I'll tell you what. Coaches can only do so much. 466 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 7: They're gonna get a fantastic coach, there's no question about that. 467 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 9: But the players have to pull their weight. The players 468 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 9: have to. 469 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 7: Own up, didn't We just heard Jason Kelsey talking about 470 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 7: this the other day with Philadelphia where he was screaming 471 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,959 Speaker 7: about the fact that, you know, we can sit there 472 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 7: and we get pin it on Nick Sirianni and Kevin 473 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 7: Patullo and just kick them in the ass all we 474 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 7: want about, Well, their scheme sucks, it's vanilla. 475 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 9: It's this. It's that. It's just, you know, we get 476 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 9: so far away. 477 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 7: From sometimes about the fact that you know, I don't 478 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 7: know too many. Look, I've been around some bad coaches 479 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 7: Don't get me wrong, I've been around some coaches and 480 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 7: teach me anything, but by and large, I'm gonna have 481 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 7: some faith in the fact that, you know what, the 482 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 7: NFL is comprised the people who are pretty competent. 483 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 9: Of their at their job. I was never coached ever. 484 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 7: To fumble the football, jump off sides, pull someone's face mask, 485 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 7: drop the football, take bad angles to the football, not 486 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 7: wrap up when you're supposed to tackle. I was never 487 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 7: coached to do that kind of stuff. But now as 488 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 7: soon as players don't do that, fire the coach, get 489 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 7: his ass out of it, get someone else, fire the coach. 490 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 7: They're not good, they're not. It's like, hey, if Baltimore 491 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 7: has that good of a roster, like everyone says they do, 492 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 7: then they should be playing a lot better than what 493 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 7: they are. And you're right, they better win next year 494 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 7: right away, no question about it. 495 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 2: Talking to Lewis Riddick of the Mothership, their NFL college 496 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 2: football analyst, what is Aaron Rodgers' football future? 497 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 7: I would never speak for Aaron Rodgers, but I think 498 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 7: mister he put it bluntly, I think in Pittsburgh it's 499 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 7: probably it's done. 500 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 9: He said he came here to play for Mike. Mike's gone. 501 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 7: I think that pretty much closes He didn't say it 502 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 7: closes the door on that, but I think it closed 503 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 7: the door on that. 504 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 9: I don't I don't know. 505 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 7: I thought that really was an ideal spot for him. 506 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 7: I thought that he needed Mike, Mike needed him, given 507 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 7: where they were at, you know, as far as Mike 508 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 7: where he was at in his tenure, he probably knew 509 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 7: that that was his last run, and Aaron probably needed 510 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 7: to just go somewhere where he really respected that guy great, 511 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 7: you know, great traditional like blue blood organization and where 512 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 7: he would just play ball, and that's what he did 513 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 7: to the best of visibility. I don't know what where 514 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 7: else you can go to really top that. At this point, 515 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 7: he ain't going to wear his no backup. He's not 516 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 7: going Aaron Aaron, I think we may have seen the 517 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 7: last of them. I don't know, but that would be 518 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 7: my guess. 519 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 3: Give me the road team that wins this weekend. 520 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 9: Oh boy, I'm not actually trying to think lose on 521 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 9: the road. 522 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: Buffalo's in Denver, Houston's in New England, you got the 523 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 2: Niners in Seattle. Rams, I think I think Rams are favored. 524 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 2: Let's let's take them out of this. 525 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know what, I think Houston is probably. 526 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 7: The one that because their defense then is so nasty, physical, 527 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 7: opportunistic and can play in any kind of environment. They're 528 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 7: so mentally tough that I know that people go, well, 529 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,239 Speaker 7: there's no way that Houston can keep winning like this 530 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 7: because the CJ can't afford to keep playing like that. 531 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 7: You know, you know what, You're right, and he won't 532 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 7: keep playing like that. I don't believe he'll keep playing 533 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 7: like that. 534 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 9: Now. 535 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 7: I love Mike Rabel. I love how he has that 536 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 7: team playing. You talk about connecting with a roster, Holy mo, 537 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 7: I mean the people in Tennessee. I don't know what 538 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 7: happened down there, but I don't know how you didn't 539 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 7: see the unique qualities and skills that this man has 540 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 7: as a head coach unless he developed something in that 541 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 7: year where he was just like, you know what, I 542 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 7: need to tweak this about how I connect with players. 543 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 7: I need to tweak that. And this is gonna make 544 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 7: me so much. He's pushing all the right buttons, man, 545 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 7: all of them, every single one but Dimico Ryans is 546 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 7: a special, special cap and he's got a special defense 547 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 7: that is among the best that I've ever seen. And 548 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 7: I'm talking and I played on a pretty good one too, 549 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 7: on our ninety four team in Cleveland that was one 550 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 7: of the best in scoring defense in history. 551 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 9: They have got some dudes, and that at this time 552 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 9: of year is a lot of what you need. 553 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, when you have a team, you have a front 554 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: that you don't have to blitz, makes it makes it 555 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 2: a whole lot easier for the secondary. Give me the question, 556 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 2: give me the game that could be a blowout. 557 00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 7: Oh you know what, I really don't. I don't think 558 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 7: any of them will be. I think this there's a 559 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 7: reason why this is considered the best the best weekend 560 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 7: in the NFL in the NFL because I think at 561 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 7: this point, look, there's there's a lot of things that 562 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 7: go into it, right, I think nerves start to play 563 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 7: a factor. I think people get a little bit more tense. 564 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 7: I don't know if one and I and I and 565 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 7: I think that works in both ways. And I don't 566 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 7: think where it's gonna be like one team really just 567 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 7: crafts the bed and this is and just gets blown out, 568 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 7: and then ano and then another and another team just 569 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 7: plays above and beyond what they played all season. 570 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 9: Long. I don't. I really don't see it that way. 571 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 9: I don't. I am interested to see just. 572 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 7: How Buffalo is able to overcome the injuries that they 573 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 7: have had on the offensive side of the ball, in 574 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 7: particular wide receiver, especially against the defense like Denver's that is. 575 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 9: Just so so aggressive and. 576 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 7: The team that's I would think Sean has them like 577 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 7: tuned up to play at the very highest level and 578 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 7: really ready to rock and roll. The Buffalo doesn't traditionally 579 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 7: get blown out, but that that's a football team that 580 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 7: I think. I think they're gonna play their very best 581 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 7: at this time of year, I really do. I think 582 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 7: Denver is going to hit their stride and we're going 583 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 7: to see the very best of what they have to offer, 584 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 7: because I really do think that Sean Payton's one of 585 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 7: the very best to ever do it. 586 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 9: Is. 587 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 7: That's another guy who knows how to push the right 588 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 7: buttons and get his teams to really juice up and 589 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 7: ready to go. 590 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 9: And I'm a big, big fan of bow Knicks man, who. 591 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 2: Is the quarterback that you got into the postseason and 592 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 2: you realized you were not going to rattle that you 593 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 2: were like, damn. 594 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 7: Ah, but you weren't going to rattle. Well, there's just 595 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 7: so many There's so many different guys. I mean there's 596 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 7: young guys and there's there's old grizzled Vets who kind 597 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 7: of bend down this lane and down this road. Before 598 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 7: I think Matthew Stafford because of how his season started 599 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 7: and because of. 600 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: All the that you faced when you fold oh that 601 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 2: I faced, like where you were like, boy, this guy 602 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 2: is he's better in the postseason. 603 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 3: We're not gonna rattle him. Who was there one guy? 604 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 9: No, there there wasn't one. 605 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 7: And really when we got into postseason, I mean the 606 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 7: guys who you know, we faced at that time where 607 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 7: I mean Bledsoe was a rookie, Neil O'Donnell was kind 608 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 7: of like an old grizzled Vett in Pittsburgh. I mean that, 609 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 7: you know what, I would probably say that, I would 610 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 7: say Neil o'donnald simply because of the fact that at 611 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 7: that time that's who our nemesis was. It was the Steelers, 612 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 7: and you couldn't rattle that football team period. I Mean 613 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 7: that team was just like like Tomlin likes to say, now, 614 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 7: nameless great faces, that's what they were. They were just 615 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 7: machines and hell I mean, if you had Greg Lloyd, 616 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 7: Kevin Green, Chad Brown, Lavon Kirk, Carnell Lake, Rod Woodson, 617 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 7: you wouldn't you wouldn't get. 618 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 9: Rattled either, you know, you wouldn't be worrying about too 619 00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 9: much stuff either. 620 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but Neil o'donald's not the quarterback that I thought 621 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 3: you were gonna. 622 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 9: You're right, he's not. He's not. But I think of 623 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 9: the like the team, the guys that we faced back then. 624 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 7: Look, I think obviously, you know when I was in Oakland, 625 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 7: you knew that you weren't on a rattle elway. 626 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 9: I mean, he was just and he was roight. He 627 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 9: was just rock. Still. 628 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 7: You know another guy who kind of liked for me, 629 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 7: who was probably the guy who who I really thought 630 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 7: when we played against him, I thought. 631 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,719 Speaker 9: Damn, this guy is really good. He just doesn't get 632 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 9: enough credit was Mark Brunell. Mark had his height in 633 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 9: Jacksonville early in his early days was a problem. He 634 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 9: was the reincarnation, the literal reincarnation of Steve Young. That's 635 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 9: what he was. And there's nobody who I respect more 636 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 9: than the great Steve Young. 637 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: Was it. Keenan mccardelle. 638 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Jimmy Smith Jimmy Smith that those were good receivers. 639 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 9: Hey and Kyle Brady, right, I think he. 640 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 3: Was there tight end, yeah. 641 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 9: And then I think Fred was there Taylor. 642 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was underrated. Fred Taylor underrated. 643 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 7: Think about those names right there, right, you know, those 644 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 7: are some guys right there, some legit guys.

On his 683 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 2: podcast with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul was talking about 684 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 2: what he thinks the Lakers should do and he said, Hey, 685 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 2: you know what, they should go get Jaron Jackson junior, 686 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 2: the defensive player of the Year with the Memphis Grizzlies, 687 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 2: and maybe you could give them some picks, or you 688 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 2: could give them, you know, some players, and how about 689 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 2: Austin Reeves. Well, the kind of follow up to that 690 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 2: is Lebron finds out about it, and I think says 691 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 2: something to Rich Paul about what are you doing? He's 692 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 2: my teammate, and then Austin Reeves is agent I think 693 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 2: had something to say to Rich Paul as well. So 694 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 2: Rich Paul then followed up on the podcast and had 695 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 2: this to say about the situation. 696 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 10: First of all, if you watched the show, this was 697 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 10: a hypothetical conversation we were having if I was running 698 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 10: a team, not this is what's gonna happen, etc. Secondly, 699 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 10: I believe it's very complementary two ar because he's on 700 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 10: a team with two future Hall of Famers and he 701 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 10: happens to be the asset. Does does not mean you 702 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 10: want somebody to be traded And there's some insider information 703 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 10: in the locker room and this is not a Lebron thing. 704 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 2: Okay, First of all, Rich, it is hypothetical because you're 705 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 2: not running the Lakers. You don't have to tell me 706 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 2: that it's hypothetical. We know you're not well, you might 707 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 2: be running the Lakers, but not like officially, and it's 708 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 2: coming from you, and your number one client is Lebron James, Like, 709 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 2: you have to be aware of this. You can't go wait, 710 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 2: what if people are reading into this it was hypothetical. 711 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 2: You're Lebron James's agent. Do you think Lebron has had 712 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 2: conversations with his agent about hey. 713 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 3: What would you do? What do you think we should do? 714 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to guess the answer is yes, not a hypothetical, 715 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 2: probably a yes. You know what, Austin Reeve's gonna want 716 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 2: fifty million dollars a year. You got to get a 717 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 2: rimp protector. You know, you got to get a big 718 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 2: guy in there. You know what I would do. I'd 719 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 2: say to management, just you know, let's get rid of 720 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 2: Austin Reeves so you don't have to pay me. Bring 721 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 2: in Jaron Jackson. Like that sounds like it's more than hyperbole. 722 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 6: Yes, and also Lebron, I guess, has a history of 723 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 6: getting people traded, So I. 724 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 2: Guess hypothetically, hypothetically, yeah. 725 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 6: So if I'm Austin Reeves and his agent. No, I 726 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 6: hear you. They MC MANHIMU reported it. He was like 727 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 6: he went up to him during the Hawks game, like 728 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 6: what are you doing? 729 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I mean Rich Paul's got to be aware. 730 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 3: Come on, Yeah, it's. 731 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 2: Like when chef goes on and then he starts to 732 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 2: kind of speculate. Well, it doesn't end up as you're 733 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 2: just kind of speculating. It's a report, and Rich Paul 734 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 2: being a powerful agent, Lebron's agent, they're in Los Angeles? 735 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 2: Are you trying to tell me you and your client 736 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 2: haven't had conversations about how to make the Lakers better 737 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 2: in what is going to be probably your last year. 738 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 5: Come on, yeah, Pauline, what if Marvin and I brought 739 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 5: up trading Austin Reeves? That would be a hypothetical lie. 740 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 5: We have no say in the matter and no one 741 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 5: would react to it. But again, like you said, if 742 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 5: you're Lebron James's agents, you have to know that if 743 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 5: you say this, people are going to put it together, 744 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 5: especially NBA reporters looking for juicy morsels before the trade deadline. 745 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 5: You have to and this guy's really smart. I mean, 746 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 5: he's a great business man. But you have to realize 747 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 5: that you. 748 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 2: Got to be aware and read the room of how 749 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 2: they're going to read into this. I mean, if you're 750 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 2: Lebron's warmer agent, than you're fine, Or if you're Austin 751 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 2: reeves is agent, then you're fine. You're Lebron's agent. Lebron's 752 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 2: still trying to figure out where he fits in. When 753 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 2: Austin Reeves comes back with Luca, this might be your 754 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 2: last year. They put a patch on their jerseys for 755 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 2: your client. Lebron wants to win another championship, obviously, how 756 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 2: can we get closer? How about we trade for Jaren 757 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 2: Jackson Junior and we give up Austin Reeves. That means 758 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 2: it's Lebron and Luca. Those are the two guys scoring. 759 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 2: You got a great rim protector in Jaron Jackson Junior. Okay, 760 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 2: that's not a big leap update the poll results if 761 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 2: you can, Seaton, I can you know this all reminds 762 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 2: me a lot by the way of you and Mike 763 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 2: Tomlin and the USC job. 764 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 4: Again, It's like I didn't say that you were going 765 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,760 Speaker 4: to take the job, of just saying USC is interested 766 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 4: in you as a head coach, and I okay. 767 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 2: But I did make the mistake though, because I even 768 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 2: heard somebody yesterday on a show saying, what about Tomlin 769 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,760 Speaker 2: if he decided to go to USC? And I smacked 770 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,439 Speaker 2: my forehead. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. All 771 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 2: I was telling you is USC had a long list of, 772 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 2: you know, possible candidates that they would be interested in. 773 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 2: But I still made the mistake because of my voice. 774 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 2: And I say this, now, somebody doesn't hear all the 775 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 2: other stuff, the ancillary stuff where I said he there's 776 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 2: no sign that he's interested in USC. I'm telling you 777 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 2: USC is interested in Mike Tomlin. Like that was the 778 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 2: coaching search. They were looking at everybody before they brought 779 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 2: in Lincoln Rhydy. 780 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 3: That was it. 781 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 2: But you know, I have to own that and take 782 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 2: that blame. Maybe one day Mike Tomlin will come on 783 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 2: the show and I'll say, Mike, I'm sorry about the 784 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 2: USC thing. 785 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 3: Yes, Martin, but you're not Mike Tomlins agent. No, I'm not. 786 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 2: But I am a Hall of Famer. You don't seem 787 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 2: impressed by that. 788 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 4: Yes, I would rather be a starter at Nebraska or 789 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 4: a backup into Oregon. That's a man. Seventy three percent 790 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 4: have it as a starter at Nebraska, and is John 791 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 4: Harbaugh in a better football situation now than he was 792 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 4: a month ago? Sixty two percent say. 793 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 3: No, no, he's not. 794 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 2: Boomer Asiasin is going to join us. Coming up top 795 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 2: of the hour, RG three will join us as well. 796 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 2: PAULI still doesn't believe that those people would rather be 797 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 2: the starting quarterback at Nebraska instead of the backup quarterback 798 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 2: at Oregon. 799 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,280 Speaker 5: If you're in Nebraska, there hasn't been a Nebraska quarterback 800 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 5: taken in the first six rounds of the draft since 801 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 5: Vince Ferragamo in nineteen seventy four. 802 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,240 Speaker 3: Ooh, Dylan Ryola had very. 803 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 5: Little chance in the current trajectory of his career to 804 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 5: make the NFL at Nebraska. You're go to Oregon, you 805 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 5: sit for a year of the red shirt, get paid, 806 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 5: you get a chance to start next year. That's their 807 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 5: plan and his plan. It could change, of course, But 808 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,959 Speaker 5: worked for BOONI, worked for Dylan Gabriel. It's working for Dylan, 809 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 5: Dylan Moore, Dante Dante Moore.
