Speaker 2: all of that coming up. The playmaker Michael Lervin. Been
Speaker 2: a while since we've had him on. Mike will join
Speaker 2: us later on. We'll have more insights into Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 2: He met with the Chargers, met with the Falcons while
Speaker 2: still negotiating with Michigan. Dan Wetzel. Yahoo Sports has been
Speaker 2: covering that and had some great details, So he'll join
Speaker 2: us coming out eight seven seven three. DP Show email
Speaker 2: address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle the DP Show. Good morning,
Speaker 2: you're watching on Peacock. Thank you for allowing us into
Speaker 2: your homes and for those listening on radio, thank you
Speaker 2: for allowing us into your cars as you commute or
Speaker 2: maybe you're still at home and Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio
Speaker 2: have a poll question coming up and a few other
Speaker 2: comments coming up on the Patriot Way until it's not
Speaker 2: the Patriot Way, you know, that's the one organization that
Speaker 2: I can think of in my forty years doing this
Speaker 2: that you didn't get information out of if you did,
Speaker 2: it was really really rare, the Patriot way. Nobody said anything,
Speaker 2: nobody spoke out of school. Now all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick is gone and they're open for business. Now
Speaker 2: you're picking sides on what was going on with Belichick
Speaker 2: and Robert Kraft and his son. Also the quarterbacking position
Speaker 2: with Mac Jones. He seems to be used as a
Speaker 2: pawn there. Bill didn't want him. The Craft family got
Speaker 2: more and more involved, and then Belichick is the guy
Speaker 2: who said to the Craft family, let's move on from Tom.
Speaker 3: He can't play anymore.
Speaker 2: And then Tom wins his Super Bowl and then Robert
Speaker 2: Kraft reportedly says to Bill Belichick, I thought you told
Speaker 2: me he can't play anymore.
Speaker 3: He wont to bleep in Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: But Bill Bellichick was cleaning out his office just a
Speaker 2: couple of days after the loss to the Jets. But
Speaker 2: it feels like there's a whole lot more that went
Speaker 2: on there in the last decade, and it felt like
Speaker 2: the Kraft family was taking more control. And it wasn't
Speaker 2: a question of if, but when Bill Belichick was going
Speaker 2: to leave all right, whole question, what do you have
Speaker 2: seating for the first hour of this program?
Speaker 4: Who would you rather have coached your NFL team? Bill
Speaker 4: Belichick or Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 2: Now, I know you're simplifying that, but it's not as
Speaker 2: simple because if you said Jim Harbaugh is going to
Speaker 2: coach Justin Herbert and the Chargers or Bill Belichick was
Speaker 2: I would take Jim Harbaugh. If you said the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 2: Jim Harball or Bill Belichick, I'd say Bill Belichick.
Speaker 3: How about the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 2: So Harball interviews with the Falcons, Bill Belichick interviews with
Speaker 2: the Falcons. If I would have said that at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the year, hey, you know the Falcons, they're
Speaker 2: going to have a coaching vacancy, and I would have said, Okay,
Speaker 2: oh you know who they're gonna interview, Bill Belichick and
Speaker 2: Jim Hornbaugh. Now Harbaugh, I'd go okay, because he's been
Speaker 2: trying to get back into the NFL. But for Belichick
Speaker 2: and the juicy irony of he's now going to coach
Speaker 2: the Falcons, then I would say, no, that's not happening.
Speaker 2: But here we are and the Falcons. The Falcons are
Speaker 2: swinging for the fences. Now Arthur Blank is, you know,
Speaker 2: going after the biggest names. See if he can reel
Speaker 2: one in. Because he's another owner who almost won a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. He's been closer than Jerry Jones has. He's
Speaker 2: got everything, but he doesn't have anything. He's always on
Speaker 2: the sidelines.
Speaker 3: He's ready to celebrate.
Speaker 2: And then no crushing. But now he's swinging, swinging for
Speaker 2: the fences. You're not bringing in a young offensive coordinator
Speaker 2: and Arthur Smith, now you're going after big here. And
Speaker 2: I give him credit because you did credit because we
Speaker 2: didn't give him credit. Because he's got skilled position players.
Speaker 2: They have a nucleus here, and that's Belichick wants to
Speaker 2: get that team that is undervalued from the standpoint of
Speaker 2: just like when Brady went to the Buccaneers. I think
Speaker 2: we were surprised because we thought, well, he's going to
Speaker 2: go to a team that's sort of a five hundred team.
Speaker 2: Well he saw that they were far more than that,
Speaker 2: and they were further along than we thought. And maybe
Speaker 2: Belichick and Jim Harball look at the Falcons and go, okay,
Speaker 2: we just have to get a quarterback. Well that's how
Speaker 2: all these coaches lost their jobs because they didn't have
Speaker 2: a quarterback. That's what I love about the Chargers job.
Speaker 2: I have my quarterback, he's under contract. Can I look
Speaker 2: at free agency and go, Okay, who's out there? Who
Speaker 2: are you going to get? And that's the tricky part
Speaker 2: with all of this, who's my quarterback? That's why all
Speaker 2: of these jobs are open except for the Chargers because
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley just didn't do a good job managing that
Speaker 2: team and he had his quarterback.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pung.
Speaker 5: If you were deciding between Belichick and Harball, how much,
Speaker 5: if at all, would the age difference matter. There's an
Speaker 5: eleven year age difference.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would matter because I don't know how
Speaker 2: long you know, Bill wants to coach for.
Speaker 3: I mean, is he going to coach for three years?
Speaker 3: He's going to coach till he gets the record?
Speaker 2: Is he going to coach till you know, he gets
Speaker 2: deep into the playoffs?
Speaker 3: Harball?
Speaker 2: I could see him maybe you know, a decade coaching,
Speaker 2: whether it's at Michigan and or the NFL. And I
Speaker 2: know that they're talking about Jim Harball with this, Hey
Speaker 2: are we going to give him a ten year deal?
Speaker 2: He's going to make eleven and a half million dollars.
Speaker 2: Well that's not his final contract, because he could be
Speaker 2: two years in and say, you know what, yeah, one
Speaker 2: another national championship. Now I really want to coach in
Speaker 2: the NFL. And he made a point to say after
Speaker 2: he won the national title, Hey, I get to sit
Speaker 2: at the big boy table. His dad won a national
Speaker 2: championship and his brother won a Super Bowl. He won
Speaker 2: a national championship. But it still feels like, and this
Speaker 2: may be me kind of letting you into my world
Speaker 2: with my brothers, we're competitive.
Speaker 4: Family dynamics like that are so funny.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: That's why when you go wait, everybody should be happy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's competition. And if you're Jim Harbaugh and John won
Speaker 2: a super Bowl, boy'd be nice to have a super
Speaker 2: Bowl and a National championship because then I get to
Speaker 2: sit at the head of the table. Jim's that competitive and.
Speaker 4: That he could sit around and be like, you know,
Speaker 4: I got to tell you, I can't tell which one
Speaker 4: was more difficult. I mean they both come with the
Speaker 4: unique challenges. Or I'm not sure which ring I'm gonna
Speaker 4: wear today. Oh John, you're wearing your super Bowl. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna wear the National championship. You know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: put my Super Bowl ring on. Family dynamics there, the
Speaker 4: competition that's there, the ego that's there, that factors into
Speaker 4: all of this, because Jim has done everything you would
Speaker 4: want considering what has happened in what is nine years
Speaker 4: there at Michigan. Couldn't beat Ohio State. Gotta beat Ohio State,
Speaker 4: can't beat Ohio State. All right, maybe you're not the guy.
Speaker 4: Maybe we're gonna cut your salary here. Oh wait a minute,
Speaker 4: you beat Ohio State. Oh, you beat him again. Oh,
Speaker 4: you're gonna play for national. Oh you won a national championship.
Speaker 4: And then Jim's taking the victory lap like, all right,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make you sweat a little bit here. Changed Yeah,
Speaker 4: because he's going to get paid. The question is, and
Speaker 4: there's language in the contract. According to Dan Wetzel of
Speaker 4: let's say something happens with the NCIA and Michigan wants
Speaker 4: to move on from Jim Harbaugh, he doesn't want to
Speaker 4: have the language in there that allows them to move
Speaker 4: on if it's NCIA related. Now it could be performance related,
Speaker 4: but Jim, I think, is trying to protect himself if
Speaker 4: he stays there that he doesn't get fired if the
Speaker 4: sanctions come back, and you know they come down hard
Speaker 4: on Michigan.
Speaker 3: What other poll question do you have seton? Well?
Speaker 4: Whose future are you more curious about Belichick's or Harballs?
Speaker 2: I would say Belichick because I believe Harball is going
Speaker 2: to go back to the NFL. It's not this time around,
Speaker 2: It'll be in a couple of years. Belichick to go
Speaker 2: to another team, that would be so bizarre to see
Speaker 2: him wearing somebody else's hoodie, carved up sweatshirt there on
Speaker 2: the sidelines.
Speaker 3: How many games is the way fifteeneen?
Speaker 2: Now, if he went to the Cowboys, then that would
Speaker 2: be mind blowing. Where you're going, Oh my god, he's
Speaker 2: coaching the Cowboys and maybe gets them to a super
Speaker 2: Bowl and surpasses Don Shule's all time records.
Speaker 3: I would say.
Speaker 2: Bill, just because I never thought we would get to
Speaker 2: this day. Harball, I'm not surprised and won't be surprised.
Speaker 2: I won't be surprised if he goes back, and I
Speaker 2: won't be surprised if he goes to the NFL.
Speaker 3: I think it's more.
Speaker 2: Of the job that you would take to leave Michigan,
Speaker 2: and I would stay at Michigan.
Speaker 3: But I get it. With these coaches.
Speaker 2: It feels like the NFL has more stability than college does.
Speaker 2: And it used to be these control freaks, you know.
Speaker 2: That's why Nick Saban is like, eh, transfer portal and
Speaker 2: il you don't want to deal with that. And they
Speaker 2: didn't have to deal with that for decades because it
Speaker 2: was like, let's just pay some players under the table.
Speaker 2: We'll get the best players we can get. Now you
Speaker 2: could probably use that response for a lot of coaches,
Speaker 2: but hey, let's stockpile players on scholarship and we can
Speaker 2: do that. And that's what happened. It was you were
Speaker 2: able to control everything. Now you can't control anything because
Speaker 2: that kid has all the leverage. Imagine you're a freshman,
Speaker 2: you rush for twelve hundred yards, you go to one
Speaker 2: of these big time coaches and you go, yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know, I'd like to stay. I'd like to stay,
Speaker 2: but I like to redo my deal. That's what's going
Speaker 2: on right now.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2: So you got these guys, the you know, big time coaches,
Speaker 2: like you got to be kidding me. You know, their
Speaker 2: thought bubbles as they're sitting there with this kid nineteen
Speaker 2: years of age, just rush for twelve hundred yards. You know,
Speaker 2: projected to be a first rounder in a couple of years.
Speaker 3: I like to redo my deal again.
Speaker 4: The coaches are like, wait a minute, you can't redeal.
Speaker 3: Redo your dealing way you can. One good season, you're
Speaker 3: going to redo your deal.
Speaker 6: That sound how it works.
Speaker 3: This is a contract.
Speaker 2: But that's the headache that you have with college football,
Speaker 2: or at least these guys who already have that mindset
Speaker 2: of we control everything here and then you don't control anything.
Speaker 2: And I could see where that, you know, I mean
Speaker 2: Nick Saban left because of that. Reggie Bush was with
Speaker 2: us yesterday and he said he firmly believes NIL.
Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons.
Speaker 2: That's why you have to have young, energetic coaches who
Speaker 2: can deal with the transfer portal. They can deal with NIL.
Speaker 2: They understand this is the new way of doing business.
Speaker 2: And that's where I want to see how long it
Speaker 2: sustainable for Dion at Colorado because he basically said that
Speaker 2: he opened everybody's eyes to this. He said, this is
Speaker 2: what's going on now. Let's not kid anybody. It's about
Speaker 2: the transfer portal and what I can do for you
Speaker 2: and you can do for me and we're in business together.
Speaker 2: By the way, Mike Tomlin is back for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Not sure why he didn't say that. I don't know
Speaker 2: why I didn't say that after the laws, unless he
Speaker 2: was offended by the reporter's question of, hey, you know
Speaker 2: you got one year left on your deal. Bill. I
Speaker 2: didn't finish my question. I didn't even get to ask
Speaker 2: the question. But he says he's coming back for twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four. Yes, seton.
Speaker 3: It's probably just emotional.
Speaker 4: I mean, they had just lost, but it's probably been
Speaker 4: a long season for him, and I got a kind
Speaker 4: of an appropriate question, but in his mind, a dumb
Speaker 4: ass question that he didn't feel like answering right now,
Speaker 4: so he just walked away.
Speaker 3: I kind of get that.
Speaker 2: But then you're adding more to it, so you don't
Speaker 2: want to answer that question, So now you're going to
Speaker 2: answer more questions with well, why did you walk That's
Speaker 2: what I'd want to know.
Speaker 3: Why did you walk off the podium after the lost coach? Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: what if he blew up on the person instead?
Speaker 4: Well, I know, I mean, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 4: just trying to like Devil's advocated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just feels like Tomlin deals with this as
Speaker 2: well as anybody. I mean, you're seventeen years in, You're
Speaker 2: going to get a question you don't like or how
Speaker 2: do I answer this?
Speaker 4: See, I feel like it's exactly He's seventeen years in.
Speaker 4: Why do I have to deal with this crap? You know,
Speaker 4: he's earned the right to not have to do that.
Speaker 3: But to walk off see that. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe, yeah, maybe he was a about to lose and
Speaker 5: said in I'd be better served walking.
Speaker 4: Self preservation kind of.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like I know what's about to happen, and I've
Speaker 5: got enough control to walk. That's what I read from it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, Tom, it seemed unnecessarily dramatic. You could just
Speaker 7: say a myriad of things, including I'm not going to
Speaker 7: enter that right now.
Speaker 6: We just lost.
Speaker 7: Let me deal with the season ending a little more
Speaker 7: abruptly than I had anticipated.
Speaker 8: But thank you.
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking to myself right now.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's guys in that locker room hurting, all right, Okay,
Speaker 4: that's what I'm thinking about right now.
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking about myself right now. Okay.
Speaker 2: By the way, Nick Sirianni is reportedly meeting with the
Speaker 2: owner of the Eagles today. Swipe card, here you go, playbook,
Speaker 2: here you go, barking pass here you go.
Speaker 3: Can I keep the visor? Ain't keep the visor? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is this a situation where Nick Sirianni fires all the
Speaker 5: assistants and gets one more year?
Speaker 2: But he already lost his coordinators last last couple of years.
Speaker 8: Is why they lost this year?
Speaker 2: Yes, you know who's getting a lot of heat. Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2: That's new Jalen Hurts. Yeah, yeah, I know it's new
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 3: Is that an old headline? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't have a good year this year. This
Speaker 2: is where I always will go one more year instead
Speaker 2: of giving you the contract extension a year early.
Speaker 3: Always.
Speaker 2: I don't care who it is, you know, Kyler Murray,
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. Who else did I say this about?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Even Josh Allen, Like you just go give me one
Speaker 2: more year, you know, Danny Dimes. I'm like, no, you know,
Speaker 2: make him prove it one more year. Because it's such
Speaker 2: a fickle league. And I talked to a former defensive
Speaker 2: coordinator last night who said, once the league gets a
Speaker 2: book on you, now they want to see how you react.
Speaker 2: The league has a book on Jalen Hurts and so
Speaker 2: now it's up to him and Nick Sirianni or whoever's
Speaker 2: the coach offensive coordinator. Now you have to react. It's
Speaker 2: it's a game of chess all the time. Take away that,
Speaker 2: now what do you do? All right, we took away that.
Speaker 2: Now what do you do? And that's what Jalen Hurts
Speaker 2: has to do. Now he has to be able to
Speaker 2: play chess again. And maybe he wasn't healthy. I know,
Speaker 2: the knee, that was a big deal. And you know,
Speaker 2: even the finger, although Troy said during the game or
Speaker 2: prior to the game that shouldn't be an issue. He
Speaker 2: looked like he was throwing the ball really well. You know,
Speaker 2: Tampa just beat him. Yeah, they were more physical. They
Speaker 2: just beat him. I watched the replay of that game
Speaker 2: last night and I'm going, I'm still yelling at the
Speaker 2: Eagles to tackle. I'm going to tackle him, and you know,
Speaker 2: I think they thought it was two hand touched and
Speaker 2: even then they didn't do well with that. I'm going,
Speaker 2: oh my god, Chris Godwin is looking like Gail Sayers
Speaker 2: going down the field.
Speaker 3: And I know quit is a terrible word to use.
Speaker 2: It is, and I would hate for somebody to say
Speaker 2: that about me if I played. But it just they
Speaker 2: they felt, and it's semantics. They just felt less than inspired.
Speaker 3: Did it mean?
Speaker 2: It's almost like they knew they weren't a super Bowl
Speaker 2: caliber team, right, It just felt like, yeah, yeah, we're
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But Tampa was thrilled to be in
Speaker 2: and they played that way. The Lions thrilled to be in,
Speaker 2: they played that way. The Cowboys were already thinking about
Speaker 2: Vegas and they played that way. Packers inspired, thrilled young team,
Speaker 2: quarterback rally.
Speaker 3: Behind him.
Speaker 2: And they played like that. It's not a coincidence. Baltimore
Speaker 2: can't play entitled. San Francisco can't play entitled every game,
Speaker 2: every single game. Do what you need to do right
Speaker 2: in front of you. All Right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll hear from Patrick Mahomes. We'll
Speaker 2: also here an interesting question that was posed to the
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles, and phone calls
Speaker 2: will settle on our poll question as well. We're eighteen
Speaker 2: after the hour, back after this Dan Patrick Show, Drafting Sportsbook,
Speaker 2: an official sports betting partner of the NFL Playoffs, bringing
Speaker 2: you an offer you can't refuse. I did watch a
Speaker 2: little bit of The Godfather to last night. You know,
Speaker 2: don't want Fredo going out on the boat and I
Speaker 2: felt bad. Spoiler, Yeah you're not coming back.
Speaker 3: But have you seen one?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I kind of seen it bits and pieces.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp.
Speaker 3: Hey, what's up everybody?
Speaker 9: It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Harrington and I
Speaker 9: couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
Speaker 9: on Game? What is Up on Game?
Speaker 1: You asked?
Speaker 9: Along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Huschman, Zada and
Speaker 9: Super Bowl champion. Yup, that's right, Plexico Burris. You can
Speaker 9: only name a show with that type of.
Speaker 1: Talent on it.
Speaker 9: Up on Game We're going to be sharing our real
Speaker 9: life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to Up on
Speaker 9: Game with me Lebar Arrington, t J. Huschman, Zada, and
Speaker 9: Plexico Burrs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
Speaker 9: you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2: Did watch some NBA last night? Joel Embiid and the
Speaker 2: Sixers beat the Nuggets. Embiid went for forty one, so
Speaker 2: he scored at least thirty points in eighteen consecutive games.
Speaker 2: Only three players in NBA history have accomplished that. Will
Speaker 2: Chamberlain did it four times, James Harden and Elgin Baylor
Speaker 2: the other two. And by the way, James Harden and
Speaker 2: the new and improved Clippers have won eight of ten.
Speaker 2: Harden says that he wants a contract where he will
Speaker 2: end his career with the Clippers. Got a new arena,
Speaker 2: by the way, any reason to talk about Steve Balmer
Speaker 2: and we still have to get him on the show?
Speaker 3: What did the Clippers say when we say we want
Speaker 3: Steve Balmer?
Speaker 7: Storry is just not available right now. But you know,
Speaker 7: let's revisit that down the road.
Speaker 3: So he's not been available for four years.
Speaker 4: He's very busy.
Speaker 3: He's got a lot, I know.
Speaker 2: But if you say to them twenty four hours a day,
Speaker 2: I'll be available, he should be available for like seven minutes.
Speaker 6: To Balmber can do something at three thirty eighth, I.
Speaker 2: Will do that. I will come in and do that,
Speaker 2: all right. You let them know that I'll do that?
Speaker 10: Is it?
Speaker 4: His a little safety vest and hard hat I know.
Speaker 2: I love that, and I love because Seton does a
Speaker 2: great impression of Steve Balmer. It's an absolute lunatic, I know,
Speaker 2: but he gets so excited when he's dancing, and I
Speaker 2: loved it, you know. And it sounds like it's a
Speaker 2: pretty cool arena and it feels like it's going to
Speaker 2: be cozy. You know, it's going to be a home
Speaker 2: court advantage. Looks awesome, Yeah, it does. Looks incredible. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but they're trying to make it a true home court
Speaker 2: advantage and also presenting the Clippers for the younger audience.
Speaker 3: Now in LA, it's all about the Lakers.
Speaker 2: But if you can get the fans when they're younger
Speaker 2: and experience there, they go to it. They understand it
Speaker 2: that this is unique. This is a fan experience there.
Speaker 2: You know, we talk about Madison Square Garden, like, man,
Speaker 2: you got to see a game at the garden. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's got a lot of history. It doesn't have the
Speaker 2: same ambiance atmosphere that it once did. And it looks
Speaker 2: like when you go into a home that's right out
Speaker 2: of the seventies and they didn't upgrade the decor. It's
Speaker 2: like the Playboy Mansion. When I went to the Playboy Mansion.
Speaker 2: You go, all right, it's the Playboy Mansion. Yeah, y,
Speaker 2: this thing needs to be renovated. I mean not the women,
Speaker 2: but the building itself need to be renovated.
Speaker 3: Yes see.
Speaker 4: You know, I will say that there's something about uh,
Speaker 4: like I Madison Square Garden. When you walk in there,
Speaker 4: now you're kind of like, huh, okay, this is the
Speaker 4: mecca of Okay, huh. Interesting. But you know when Yankee
Speaker 4: tore down Yankee Stadium and put up the new one.
Speaker 4: You know, the very first thing my father in Las said,
Speaker 4: who's a Red Sox fan was Daved Ruth never played there, And.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh crap, that's why you keep the
Speaker 3: old place. Do you have to have the ghosts? You
Speaker 3: have to have the ghosts. Yeah, but I don't think
Speaker 3: the Knicks have those ghosts, you know. That's that's it.
Speaker 4: Did just start making it up get better at some well, they.
Speaker 3: Won a couple of titles. That's back in the seventies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I've gone there when I truly understood what
Speaker 2: they were talking about with knowledgeable basketball fans in that environment,
Speaker 2: and whether it was a Big East game between Georgetown
Speaker 2: and Saint John's or it was a Knicks game against
Speaker 2: the Celtics when Bernard King was playing there. Then I
Speaker 2: got it, but you know that that's a long time ago. No,
Speaker 2: it just I'm sorry. Julius Randall was just not bringing
Speaker 2: me to my feet right now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, smart, Reggie Miller might have more ghosts than there
Speaker 8: than some mixed players.
Speaker 3: True, true, yes, pulling.
Speaker 5: So the Alley Clippers are Steve Balmer in his Osha
Speaker 5: vest yesterday announce they're doing a thing called the Wall,
Speaker 5: and they're gonna have fifty one rows behind the basket,
Speaker 5: and there's rules. If you're gonna sit in these rows.
Speaker 5: You cannot cheer for the opposing team. I don't know
Speaker 5: how they're gonna enforce that rule. You cannot wear the
Speaker 5: opponent's gear. You have to be wearing Clippers gear or neutral.
Speaker 5: And tickets can only be sold on the Clippers' market place.
Speaker 5: They're trying to make a like a fan section, like
Speaker 5: almost a college basketball fan section.
Speaker 3: For the Clippers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're calling it the Wall. In a season on
Speaker 2: the Wall ranges from five thousand dollars to twenty five thousand.
Speaker 2: I'm curious, I the joker was asked about that. You
Speaker 2: know playing in an environment like Madison Square Garden, and
Speaker 2: he goes, I've played in Serbia. Now, if you watch
Speaker 2: basketball in Europe, especially in Serbia, they light flares inside,
Speaker 2: they throw things, They heat up pennies and throw them
Speaker 2: at the players, firecrackers.
Speaker 5: They bringet farm animals.
Speaker 6: Made that one up.
Speaker 5: Now that's not true, but it is out of hand.
Speaker 5: It feels that there's chance going on the entire time.
Speaker 2: It's a soccer match. That environment. When you're watching basketball
Speaker 2: in certain countries it's enclosed. Yes, it's awesome, but lighting flares, no,
Speaker 2: you can't.
Speaker 3: Light a flare. Well, this is Serbia, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8: In a couple of years, the All Star Game will
Speaker 8: be at that arena. Twenty twenty six Clippers the wall,
Speaker 8: yep field trip. Oh, I thought you were talking about Serbia.
Speaker 3: In Serbia, I would love that.
Speaker 8: When it's buried.
Speaker 3: When is bread all right?
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles meeting with the media.
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay is going to Detroit to face the Lions.
Speaker 2: And Todd was answering questions yesterday and here's the question
Speaker 2: and how Todd Bulls answered it.
Speaker 11: I'm looking forward towards Detroit. The weather's benefactor in some
Speaker 11: of the playoff games, even for the most prepared teams. Today,
Speaker 11: it's thirteen in Detroit, which doesn't compare to some of
Speaker 11: the temperatures out to any special plans to acclimate the
Speaker 11: team to not only endure but perform in those confridgeing temperatures.
Speaker 6: Did you face them in Detroit?
Speaker 12: You do know we play indoors right in the other dome.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 12: No nothing planning or indoors. And we only have to
Speaker 12: be outside for twenty seconds getting off the bus going
Speaker 12: under the thing, so we'll be okay.
Speaker 2: The reporter did her research by saying it's thirteen degrees,
Speaker 2: which is true, thirteen degrees, it's seventy two inside. You
Speaker 2: know that that long walk from when you get off
Speaker 2: the bus to get to the locker room. How's that
Speaker 2: going to affect your player's coach? Todd Bowles did a
Speaker 2: pretty good job there, and I was wondering how certain
Speaker 2: coaches would have handled something like that. I don't know
Speaker 2: if Belichick. Belichick would probably have just been BELICHICKI.
Speaker 3: And in gone yeah, in games indoors. But that's it.
Speaker 2: Where's Bill Parcell's I've been in press conferences with Bill
Speaker 2: and he was the Giants head coach, and he was
Speaker 2: just a jerk. He if you made any mistake or
Speaker 2: you made it seem like you knew some football.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, who read a book and you go just
Speaker 3: asking a question.
Speaker 2: Coach Belichick I think would have swatted it away and
Speaker 2: just moved on. Bill Parcells would have lit you up.
Speaker 3: He would have. He would have embarrassed you.
Speaker 2: But Todd Bowles, to his credit, just you know, gave
Speaker 2: a matter of fact.
Speaker 3: Well games indoors. Uh, yeah, I do. I don't think
Speaker 3: that's gonna be a problem.
Speaker 6: I thought he initially when I heard that, thought he
Speaker 6: handled it pretty well.
Speaker 7: But now that the more I listen to it, I
Speaker 7: feel like he could have even done even a better
Speaker 7: job to make her it's not his job.
Speaker 3: He didn't ask the question. She's among her.
Speaker 7: Colleagues and everything, and maybe she doesn't normally cover football
Speaker 7: the team or I thought, I thought you could have
Speaker 7: said something like, you know, thankfully, you know we're in
Speaker 7: a dome.
Speaker 6: I'm sure it'll be cold.
Speaker 2: Nice because it's a female reporter, that's possible, Okay.
Speaker 7: But I would I would hope he could have just said,
Speaker 7: you know, thankfully, we're playing in the dome and it
Speaker 7: won't you know, won't be that terrible. It'll be uncomfortable
Speaker 7: maybe outside, but once we're in, you know, everything should
Speaker 7: be fine. And so you know, we're not playing in
Speaker 7: a game.
Speaker 3: Thought he did a good job.
Speaker 6: Been a lot worse.
Speaker 2: I thought it could have been a lot worse. As
Speaker 2: Seton said, what if Todd Bowles went games indoors and
Speaker 2: we're not facing actual lions?
Speaker 4: You know, you know, we're not actually playing with the
Speaker 4: animal lions like this as people. They're just called the lions.
Speaker 4: They're not actually facing lions.
Speaker 2: Oh so it's indoors and you're not facing real lions.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, we're not. Now that would have been great, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 6: So it's called ford Field now, not the Pontiac Silver Dome.
Speaker 7: If we're still called the Silver Dome, that might have
Speaker 7: helped her out a little bit to realize, wait a
Speaker 7: second dome.
Speaker 6: I don't maybe they're not playing outside. She got a
Speaker 6: look confused.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that might be.
Speaker 2: You know, our total team report on the Buccaneers, and
Speaker 2: you send people who are general reporters. You know, hey
Speaker 2: we advanced. Hey, you know, I got a great story idea.
Speaker 2: It's you know, seventy two in Tampa, but it's thirteen
Speaker 2: in Detroit. All take at that angle and all ask
Speaker 2: coach about that total team report on the Buccaneers going
Speaker 2: to Detroit, and we send it out to Sally Lipper. Yes,
Speaker 2: And I talked to Coach Bowls and I asked him
Speaker 2: about the weather in Detroit.
Speaker 8: Yes, Mark, after Todd Bowles said, you know, we play indoors, right,
Speaker 8: there was awkward silence right after, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 8: the secondhand embarrassment. I'm sure her colleagues must have felt like, oh,
Speaker 8: or as she's asking it about the weather, like oh,
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 2: Like, where are we going with this? Where like it's
Speaker 2: going to be hard to land the plane because of
Speaker 2: the weather.
Speaker 4: Yes see, And she had clearly done some research and
Speaker 4: she was thinking about whatever because she's like and yes,
Speaker 4: I mean it's like thirteen degrees. You know, she had
Speaker 4: really put in some work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was very she was.
Speaker 4: It was a well prepared question about the weather in
Speaker 4: Detroit that they were going to face. My guess is
Speaker 4: those aren't her colleagues.
Speaker 3: Probably not.
Speaker 2: It's probably just that's a general assignment reporter who's out there.
Speaker 2: Once again, Total team effort here led body.
Speaker 3: Local news. We're local, Live, Local, late breaking.
Speaker 7: Yes, Tom, would you have had the urge to be
Speaker 7: a little sarcastic there if you were the head coach
Speaker 7: in that position unless the dome collapse, which are no
Speaker 7: one has informed me.
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna be okay.
Speaker 2: And now it did happen in Minnesota, that's true. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I did a couple of years ago.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paully, I found myself as the question is going on,
Speaker 5: not thinking about the reporter, but think about what is
Speaker 5: Todd Bowles thinking of how to handle this, because he's
Speaker 5: got ten seconds to go in and just pile on
Speaker 5: someone or state the obvious that we are playing indoors.
Speaker 5: Like I almost felt bad for him in that situation.
Speaker 2: Weirdly, Well, once there's that awkward silence, I think that's
Speaker 2: when he realizes, okay, let me try to salvage this,
Speaker 2: because if E would have said, you know, we play
Speaker 2: indoors and then there's awkward silence, and then that's when
Speaker 2: he picks it up just a little bit where he's
Speaker 2: trying to help her a little bit. You know, wait,
Speaker 2: play it played again? Played again? Oh no, yeah, yah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I want to you know, hear Todd Bowles portion of this.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm looking forward towards Detroit.
Speaker 11: The weather, it's been a factor in some of the
Speaker 11: playoff games, even for the most prepared teams. Today it's
Speaker 11: thirteen in Detroit, which doesn't compare to some of the temperature,
Speaker 11: to any special plans to acclimate the team to not.
Speaker 7: Only endure, but perform in.
Speaker 5: Those converted temperatures.
Speaker 7: Should you face them in Detroit, you know.
Speaker 12: We play indoors, right, and the other dome ot no
Speaker 12: nothing playing or indoors and we only have to be
Speaker 12: outside for twenty seconds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think she even says if you end
Speaker 2: up playing them in Detroit or you're facing those conditions,
Speaker 2: but yeah, that one, it's it's I can't explain the
Speaker 2: experience of when you raise your hand, or sometimes when
Speaker 2: you stand up in a press conference and everybody's looking
Speaker 2: at you and all of a sudden, you hear yourself
Speaker 2: on the speakers there, Yeah, coach.
Speaker 3: Coach, and then you asked that question.
Speaker 2: Now, I've been embarrassed by Don Shula, I've been embarrassed
Speaker 2: by pat Riley, been embarrassed by Phil Jackson, So Bill Parcells,
Speaker 2: so I know the feeling, And even if you're asking
Speaker 2: a question where you've done research and it's a correct question,
Speaker 2: they may not want to answer it. Like pat Riley
Speaker 2: did that to me during the NBA Finals and just
Speaker 2: blew me off. Don Shula didn't even answer my question
Speaker 2: like that one's tough. He just moved on.
Speaker 4: He did he had you ask the question, and then
Speaker 4: looked and was like Scott.
Speaker 2: He did not answer my question. The Dolphins lost to
Speaker 2: the Jets and Schula comes in and gives you three
Speaker 2: minutes on the game, and then I go, coach, what about?
Speaker 3: And he just walked away. And I thought, okay, all right,
Speaker 3: did anybody see that?
Speaker 2: Now? All right, I'm good, no bloodshed. But Bill Park
Speaker 2: Bob Knight got embarrassed by Bob Knight. Yeah, I've had
Speaker 2: I've had a few of them, so I know that
Speaker 2: awkward feeling. Yes, Paul, but this is such a next level.
Speaker 2: Like I was watching there's this clip out there.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say the actor name, but a famous
Speaker 5: actor was on a one of those morning shows and
Speaker 5: was asked about some project they were working on, and
Speaker 5: the reporter asked about his wife, who had passed away
Speaker 5: three years ago, and the actor was like, didn't didn't
Speaker 5: go out, didn't let let it out? Just meander through
Speaker 5: a generic answer to not embarrass the reporter on air.
Speaker 5: I just can't imagine being the subject of the interview
Speaker 5: in a situation like that, and the reporter has a
Speaker 5: situation and.
Speaker 3: You have to either ignore it or clean up or
Speaker 3: jab back.
Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, sometimes you just have to take your medicine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, And when you get ready to raise your
Speaker 2: hand and you have a question, make sure you got
Speaker 2: it all buttoned up.
Speaker 7: Yes, ton, if you're a news editor or someone that
Speaker 7: wants to refer to this story, because I'm noticing almost
Speaker 7: every article.
Speaker 6: The name is left. I don't know if she's in
Speaker 6: witness protection.
Speaker 7: There's just such a reporter asked a bad question, and like, well,
Speaker 7: how horrible is this? Do you, like not want to
Speaker 7: make it worse for your fellow colleague by mentioning the
Speaker 7: name of the person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I just call it a reporter.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know that this is this is tough,
Speaker 2: but you know it's something that you can learn from.
Speaker 2: You know, when you go in you if everybody's there
Speaker 2: and you want to ask a question, you got to
Speaker 2: be buttoned up.
Speaker 3: You just do.
Speaker 8: Yes, Mar, do you show her more grace if she's
Speaker 8: not a sports reporter, if she's just a random Fox
Speaker 8: affiliate I have.
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes you don't even know who's asking you questions.
Speaker 2: But I mean that could explain that that you know,
Speaker 2: probably not you know, everyday sports reporter.
Speaker 3: But I mean it's more about bulls.
Speaker 2: And answering the question, and that he he's almost like,
Speaker 2: you know, we play indoors, and then he kind of
Speaker 2: catches himself and then he's like.
Speaker 3: And then he's trying to salvage it a little bit.
Speaker 2: Just didn't think I would hear that question this week
Speaker 2: about the weather in Detroit.
Speaker 7: Yes, Tom, but he says, I suppose it'll be called
Speaker 7: for the twenty seconds that will be out there.
Speaker 6: That was he said. When we're outside, it'll be uncomfortable,
Speaker 6: but once we get in the doub we'll be one.
Speaker 2: Well, he did have a little bit of fun with it.
Speaker 2: And look as somebody who's been humbled for if I
Speaker 2: ask an inappropriate question or you know, not the best
Speaker 2: question to ask. I asked doctor Jack Ramsay, one of
Speaker 2: the brilliant basketball minds, and I said, Jack, give me
Speaker 2: a question for Pat rilling.
Speaker 3: He said, Dan, and he started to.
Speaker 2: Tell me what I should ask pat Riley because I wanted,
Speaker 2: you know, I wanted a basketball question that Riley would
Speaker 2: have to answer. And I had this question and I
Speaker 2: asked it and Riley didn't answer it, didn't answer it.
Speaker 3: Now all of the New York writers they're.
Speaker 2: All around, and I'm asking this guy here's talking haird
Speaker 2: who wants to ask a question to pat Riley. And
Speaker 2: Ryle's just dismissed it. And I was like, maybe he
Speaker 2: didn't hear me. I got ready to ask the question again.
Speaker 2: Thank god I didn't.
Speaker 3: Ample.
Speaker 5: It's like if doctor Jack Ramsey asked that question, he's
Speaker 5: got full credibility to ask it because you asked a
Speaker 5: serious basketball question.
Speaker 3: He looks at you and goes, reporter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well how about we take a break. Here,
Speaker 2: We'll hear from Patrick Mahomes GJ. Watt as well, and
Speaker 2: that's where you coming up. Play of the Day's next.

Speaker 2: helmet cracked when he was hit Saturday night, and he
Speaker 2: had this to say about his helmet and a backup helmet.
Speaker 14: They have a backup that's out there. We got to
Speaker 14: talk about where we store the backup because it was
Speaker 14: like frozen. So when I try to put it, when
Speaker 14: I try to put it on, it was completely frozen.
Speaker 3: I couldn't get it on.
Speaker 14: I don't know if anyone got a picture of it. It
Speaker 14: didn't look great, but we were able to adjust it
Speaker 14: on the sideline, get it kind of warmed up a
Speaker 14: little bit and get rolling from there.
Speaker 2: You know, he sounds like Chad from Trigger. Okay, I
Speaker 2: mean that's that's a random poll here. Okay, Yeah, let
Speaker 2: me let me hear Patrick Mahomes again.
Speaker 14: They have a backup that's out there. We got to
Speaker 14: talk about where we store the backup because it was
Speaker 14: like frozen. So when I try to put it, when
Speaker 14: I try to put it on, it was completely frozen.
Speaker 14: I couldn't get it on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe a little higher pitch Chad who is
Speaker 2: the champion and Griller from Tragger.
Speaker 5: Yes, so you don't probably prepare it all for the
Speaker 5: backup helmet to be used, and it was sitting on
Speaker 5: the sidelines in a like a bag. They took it
Speaker 5: out and they didn't think, well, we're going to keep
Speaker 5: this in that hot storage area. They have sideline guys,
Speaker 5: equipment guys using their hands like massage the padding with
Speaker 5: their warm hands, and they're they're like, we don't have
Speaker 5: a lot of time to do this. There was like
Speaker 5: forty five seconds to get this helmet ready.
Speaker 2: Well, that backup helmet will be ready. What's the weather
Speaker 2: in Buffalo this weekend? If we look to see if
Speaker 2: we have any issues there, and it's not like Kansas
Speaker 2: City won't be ready to play in that weather. Given
Speaker 2: the conditions in Kansas City and playing outdoors, that game
Speaker 2: will be outdoors in Buffalo, correct, Pony.
Speaker 5: Sunday night in Buffalo, low of twenty doesn't look like
Speaker 5: any chance of snow as of now, so that's not
Speaker 5: big deal.
Speaker 10: Okay, I was asking you if the game was going
Speaker 10: to be played out. I'm checking as a journalist, Okay,
Speaker 10: just going to make it. I don't want to say
Speaker 10: it sound a little bit of fun. Yeah ready, Yeah.
Speaker 2: TJ Watt, Steelers Edge Rusher had this to say about
Speaker 2: his head coach, Mike Tom.
Speaker 15: I want to play for Mike t. It was huge
Speaker 15: in my contract talks. Is I don't want to play
Speaker 15: for anybody other than Mike T. You guys understand and
Speaker 15: see in the way that I talk about how much
Speaker 15: I respect and appreciate him as a coach.
Speaker 3: As a man, as a leader. That's the endorsement for him.
Speaker 3: Did he say it's in his contract? Did you hear that?
Speaker 8: Yeah, when he's talking about discussing his contract contract extension.
Speaker 8: Is Mike t going to be the coach?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: I thought it was in his contract that he and
Speaker 2: didn't he just sign a contract that made him the
Speaker 2: highest paid defensive player. You've got some extensions that are
Speaker 2: coming up with the Cowboys, which will be interesting see
Speaker 2: what they do with Dak Prescott, C. D Lamb, Micah Parsons,
Speaker 2: gampoint TJ.
Speaker 5: Watt has two more seasons on this contract. Thinking about
Speaker 5: he's like, is this right? I got him only making
Speaker 5: like twenty six million a year. I guess maybe not.
Speaker 3: Only Maybe it was going to average at thirty that's correct.
Speaker 8: You could.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of it was on his signing bonus
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Micah Parsons is probably going to say I
Speaker 2: want that, I want thirty. Although, man, he did a
Speaker 2: lot of talking on his podcast and he's interesting, not
Speaker 2: afraid to say things, but you got to back it
Speaker 2: up when you get on the football field. I mean
Speaker 2: your response can't be that. You know there's no holding calls.
Speaker 2: You know they're not calling any holding calls against these
Speaker 2: guys against me. Got to get to the passer and
Speaker 2: he has. But second half of the season not good.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, Mark, So he just needs one star on
Speaker 8: the side of his helmet. Not too you know.
Speaker 2: Steve Young said that yesterday, and I thought he was
Speaker 2: joking at first, but he said, the Cowboys need to
Speaker 2: earn the star stars on their helmet. If you win
Speaker 2: ten games, the team gets a star, one star, and
Speaker 2: if you win a playoff game that year, you get
Speaker 2: your other star. I thought it was great. I thought
Speaker 2: it was brilliant because that's a team. And Steve talked
Speaker 2: about this. They're already stars. I mean literally figuratively, they're stars.
Speaker 2: They're celebrities. And he said they haven't earned anything. It's
Speaker 2: when you go to Dallas that you become that just
Speaker 2: by proxy of being a Dallas Cowboy. He said, you're
Speaker 2: not nobody's earning anything, and that's part of the problem
Speaker 2: with the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: The future.
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, we'll talk about that coming up. Michael Irvin,
Speaker 2: the former Cowboy Great Hall of Famer, the playmaker joins
Speaker 2: us as well. One hour in the books, two more
Speaker 2: to go in this Wednesday. We're back after this
