Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two.
Speaker 2: On this Monday, Dan and the dan Auts Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2: Glad to have you on board. Great to be back
Speaker 2: from vacation. I never figured this out. Eight am and
Speaker 2: somebody's drinking a beer at the bar in the airport.
Speaker 2: I haven't gotten there.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I've walked by, and I've actually been with people that
Speaker 2: I work with, in fact, maybe people in this room
Speaker 2: where I've walked by, and it's eight in the morning
Speaker 2: and we're getting ready for like a nine o'clock flight,
Speaker 2: and you're like, you're having a beer. I haven't been
Speaker 2: able to go. Yeah, that's exactly what I need right now. Yeah, seton.
Speaker 4: What have you not figured out? He said, I haven't
Speaker 4: figured this out yet. People sitting in the bar alone
Speaker 4: at eight am. What have you not figured out about
Speaker 4: that situation?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: First of all, this is why Bloody Mary's were invented. Okay,
Speaker 4: bloody may I get But yeah, he's sitting down. There
Speaker 4: is something about a beer. And usually you sit down
Speaker 4: at the bar and you're like, ah, yes, screw it,
Speaker 4: I'll have a beer at eight o'clock. Up, get a
Speaker 4: quick buzz and get on my plane or whatever, and
Speaker 4: they're like, hey, you want the sixteen or the twenty. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm going to twenty gigantic beer with your eggs.
Speaker 2: I get it with you know, if you're gonna have
Speaker 2: a bloody mare, like, I understand that, or a mimosa,
Speaker 2: I understand it. I still can't. I'm not a day drinker.
Speaker 2: I'm certainly not a morning drinker, but a day drinker not,
Speaker 2: that's not in my wheelhouse. I end up taking a
Speaker 2: nap and you wake up and you go, God, let's
Speaker 2: do it all over me. It's perfect.
Speaker 5: It's the ideal scenario. Yes, yes, ball doesn't. It depend
Speaker 5: on the destination and the group. Because if you're let's
Speaker 5: say you're flying down a Kiowa Island on a bro
Speaker 5: golf trip and you're on the ten o'clock flight, you're
Speaker 5: in the in the lounge at eight forty five, you
Speaker 5: crack a beer, you crack a drink. But if you're
Speaker 5: just flying home casually from a business trip and you're
Speaker 5: at the bar at nine am, that seems problematic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you see those twenty two bounce beers,
Speaker 2: like you couldn't do sixteen? Now I got an upgrade.
Speaker 4: Here, let's go with the gigantic one thirty two dollars beer.
Speaker 2: Yeah. There, My seat's in coach, but my beer's in
Speaker 2: business class. I'm going twenty two ounce here.
Speaker 4: You gotta drink it fast because it gets warm towards
Speaker 4: the bottom. So you're like, ah, I just slugging this
Speaker 4: down real quick.
Speaker 5: Yes, but you talked about when does vacation start? Airport
Speaker 5: beers is a one seat of your crack that beer? Now,
Speaker 5: I'm you hold it up? You go now, I'm on vacation.
Speaker 5: It's the biggest dadline of all time.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's great to be back now. Like I get
Speaker 2: to I get a little twitchy at the end of
Speaker 2: vacation where and my wife goes, you got another day
Speaker 2: of vacation. I go, I know, I know, no, no,
Speaker 2: just you start to think about getting back into the
Speaker 2: work mode. And she goes, how about half the day?
Speaker 2: How might stay on vacation half the day? Can you
Speaker 2: do that? I said, what half do you want?
Speaker 6: Hunt?
Speaker 7: Yes, Marv, So what in the blue hell are you
Speaker 7: going to do? Christmas vacation twenty twenty seven? There's nothing
Speaker 7: to come back to. January second, twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I have no idea. But you don't
Speaker 2: have to worry about that.
Speaker 4: Because you know what, it's none of your business.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll just nosy.
Speaker 6: I don't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care what you do. Stat of the
Speaker 2: Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading
Speaker 2: cards of the program. Six WWE superstars face off inside
Speaker 2: a giant steel chamber for a championship match at WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: Watch Elimination Chamber live Saturday at seven eastern, four Pacific,
Speaker 2: Countdown at five eastern, two Pacific, live on Peacock. All right,
Speaker 2: some of the headlines here. The combine is later this week.
Speaker 2: A lot is going to be made to the fact
Speaker 2: that Shador Sanders won't be throwing at the combine. Do
Speaker 2: not get tricked, don't You don't need to click on this.
Speaker 2: And that's what this is. It's clickbait. Quarterbacks who skip
Speaker 2: out on throwing at the combine. Now used to be
Speaker 2: you were hiding something, or you know, maybe it's a
Speaker 2: mechanical flaw, maybe your arm is hurt, maybe something happened
Speaker 2: during the regular season that no longer holds weight. The
Speaker 2: combine really isn't about on the field, it's really about
Speaker 2: medicals and team interviews. That's the most important things. Especially medicals.
Speaker 2: They just want to know, are you really six ' three?
Speaker 2: How healthy are you? You know, we get caught up
Speaker 2: in the forty yard dash, we get caught up in
Speaker 2: the three cone drill and all that. To me, does
Speaker 2: it matter? I mean, is it interesting TV? Yeah, if
Speaker 2: you got nothing going on. But you know, the quarterbacks
Speaker 2: didn't throw last year. Caleb Williams, Drake made Jayden Daniels
Speaker 2: all opted to throw at their pro days? Was there
Speaker 2: any outrage? Were they hiding something? So? I think you've
Speaker 2: got to be fair in what we're covering. How about
Speaker 2: we be fair to what the real story is here?
Speaker 2: Should door Sanders is doing what other quarterbacks have done
Speaker 2: first round draft picks, not throwing. Now you might view
Speaker 2: this as a knock on should do or saying oh,
Speaker 2: he's not throwing, That is going to be the message
Speaker 2: that's probably going to be conveyed. The draft process has
Speaker 2: evolved and skipping the throwing portion of the combine isn't
Speaker 2: a red flag. It's just the new norm. And cam Ward,
Speaker 2: do we care if he's throwing or not? And the
Speaker 2: reason why We don't care if he's throwing or not
Speaker 2: because he's not clickbait. You're not clicking on some if
Speaker 2: cam Ward decides he's not going you know, he opted
Speaker 2: out of the second half of his bull game and
Speaker 2: that was a red flag to some people that did
Speaker 2: get covered. And I get it, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if cam Ward throwing or not throwing is going to
Speaker 2: matter to anybody, but should or Sanders because it's de
Speaker 2: on side, he is going to be clickbit and does
Speaker 2: it matter. I want to see what you do. You
Speaker 2: want to do it on your pro day? Good. I
Speaker 2: don't take anything out of this. Remember Zach Wilson, My god,
Speaker 2: did you see that throw? He did the mahomes throw
Speaker 2: left back right? Oh my god, did you just see that?
Speaker 2: How did that work out? Right? Kyle Boller from his
Speaker 2: knees can throw it fifty yards? Maybe you should have
Speaker 2: played on his knees like JaMarcus Russell, Like we go
Speaker 2: down the list of guys where you go, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: did you see that? That's the problem. It's it's like
Speaker 2: you study all year and then you decide you're gonna
Speaker 2: throw away all your notes and you're gonna just go Hey,
Speaker 2: I'll just go with what I remember, but I think
Speaker 2: what happens as you get caught up in the now.
Speaker 2: Let's take the approach. Let's look at game film. Let's
Speaker 2: talk to you know, maybe coaches who coached against this guy,
Speaker 2: players who played against the just no, no, we're not
Speaker 2: going to do that. We're going to you know, change
Speaker 2: direction right at the last minute. That's why you have
Speaker 2: teams that are littered with quarterbacks who didn't make it
Speaker 2: for a variety of reasons. No one was talking about
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels last year. It was, well, Caleb Williams, he's
Speaker 2: going to be the guy. Drake May. I don't know
Speaker 2: acc Flaud mechanics, Bo Nicks, you know, I played with
Speaker 2: two different teams, but I don't know Kenny. We tend
Speaker 2: to put the negative out there instead of looking that
Speaker 2: Drake May proved that he could play. Caleb Williams, we're
Speaker 2: going to be waiting and is he going to be
Speaker 2: compared with Jade Daniels. We had Jayden Daniels as an
Speaker 2: MVP candidate. Bo Nicks was wonderful, led his team to
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and these two quarterbacks this year would be
Speaker 2: behind those quarterbacks who were taken last year. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: I don't think any of them are better than bow
Speaker 2: Knicks and he was the last one. But these teams
Speaker 2: have needs, Tennessee. Is you know, are they going to
Speaker 2: take a quarterback? The Brown's going to take a quarterback,
Speaker 2: the Giant's going to take a quarterback, the Raiders going
Speaker 2: to take once again, when you get into you fall
Speaker 2: into this trap. We need a quarterback. No, you need
Speaker 2: your quarterback. Who is the right quarterback for this team?
Speaker 2: Not we need a quarterback because that's when you take
Speaker 2: a quarterback who maybe isn't the right guy unless you
Speaker 2: say Shador Sanders and cam Ward they are the same quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: they're graded the same. Okay, Now where do they rank
Speaker 2: with the other players in this draft? You might pass
Speaker 2: up on Mason Graham out of Michigan, who might be
Speaker 2: a top five player, Abdua Carter like these guys are
Speaker 2: impact players who might be Pro Bowl play. Well, you're
Speaker 2: trying to find your quarterback. That's where you get in.
Speaker 2: That's you find danger there more often than not, you
Speaker 2: find danger because you got to get a quarterback.
Speaker 6: Tennessee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need a quarterback. Is cam Ward is should
Speaker 2: or Sanders the quarterback, or would you be better suited
Speaker 2: at taking Travis Hunter, or would you be better served
Speaker 2: by trying to get Kirk Cousins for another year or
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. Like that's where teams make mistakes because they reach,
Speaker 2: and they always reach on a quarterback. But should or
Speaker 2: Sanders not throwing at the combine? Couldn't care less?
Speaker 4: Yeah, some quarterbacks absolutely need to throw at the combine.
Speaker 2: I think cam Ward, If I'm cam Ward, I go
Speaker 2: balls out, like throwing balls round, not literally, no, no, like,
Speaker 2: let's throw some footballs out and you know, be the
Speaker 2: talk of the combine. If you're confident in yourself, take
Speaker 2: over the combine. If Shodor's not throwing, I am like,
Speaker 2: I look forward to seeing Jackson Dart, who I think
Speaker 2: is the first round talent at quarterback. I think he's
Speaker 2: underrated talent now, might go at the end of first round,
Speaker 2: maybe second round, third round. I don't know, haven't seen
Speaker 2: you know, draft grades on him, but I know what
Speaker 2: I saw. Athletic can throw and has a coach who
Speaker 2: knows a thing or two about quarterbacks. So I I
Speaker 2: think sometimes when you get you watch that guy. Even
Speaker 2: pro days. Pro days are supposed to be It's you're
Speaker 2: supposed to look good. It's like your highlight you know,
Speaker 2: high school highlight tape. It's supposed to be good.
Speaker 5: He dribbled off his shoe. Yes, Paulie, I go back
Speaker 5: to that. You said, was it Christian Ponder? Remember that
Speaker 5: draft twenty eleven, Cam Newton went number one and everyone
Speaker 5: needed a quarterback and it was like Blaine Gabber it went,
Speaker 5: Christian Ponder went. Everybody needed a quarterback. A lot of
Speaker 5: them didn't work out that year. They took guys Christian
Speaker 5: Ponder a week before the draft. They had him as
Speaker 5: a mid second, second round guy. And then the Vikings
Speaker 5: everyone had to have a quarterback. There's some drafts where
Speaker 5: everyone does it.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll go back to Achilles Smith got drafted by
Speaker 2: the Bengals third overall. You're like, why gotta get our
Speaker 2: quarterback and TN Donovan McNabb go before him. That does
Speaker 2: that sound right? Tim Couch go number one? I gotta
Speaker 2: get our quarterback, don't get get the right quarterback? Not
Speaker 2: uh the yes, yes see.
Speaker 4: I remember in the Christian Ponder era, as it will
Speaker 4: forever be known of overreaching, there were these funny storylines
Speaker 4: about how like and It was really a lot had
Speaker 4: to do with I think Tom Brady and like, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: the best quarterbacks are later in the draft. Everybody's reaching
Speaker 4: for these guys up here. Most of them don't work out.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna anybody that's graded like a third rounder
Speaker 4: we're going to take in the first round because we're
Speaker 4: flipping the script on how where the value actually is.
Speaker 4: It was one I remember it being one of the
Speaker 4: craziest times and most confusing times to talk about the draft,
Speaker 4: because it would be like, well, this guy's projected as
Speaker 4: a first rounder, right, that's why he's gonna fall to
Speaker 4: the fourth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, what.
Speaker 4: The hell if this guy's a fifth rounder, right, he
Speaker 4: might go top ten?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Tim in Ohio, Hi, Tim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Five days muscular, five c brow looking at the rulers
Speaker 8: of the Browns are looking at Jenny Matthew Stafford, then
Speaker 8: trading Mile Scare to the Lions for a bunch of
Speaker 8: draft picks.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're not reporting that, Tim, You're just sources close
Speaker 2: to you tell you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, first online, that's what I thought, Thank you, Tim. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: Lion's got a lot of draft picks. You know your
Speaker 2: first round picks are going to be at the end
Speaker 2: of the first round. But you can get Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2: You're bringing Matthew Stafford. But what are you doing with
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford? Are you ready to win? Matthew Stafford wants
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars a year. Probably at least you're gonna
Speaker 2: bring him in two years, one hundred and ten million. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: you're paying to Shaun Watson. Meanwhile you had Joe Flacco
Speaker 2: who led you to the playoff, Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: The team that should be calling right now, right now,
Speaker 2: even though it's West Coast time, that they would be
Speaker 2: calling the Rams, so it's only seven fourteen. You could
Speaker 2: get a hold of Sean McVay right now, Pittsburgh Steelers,
Speaker 2: I'd be calling. They probably already called.
Speaker 9: You.
Speaker 2: Get Matthew Stafford now to help. If you got a
Speaker 2: couple of good receivers, I mean, Najee Harris gets you
Speaker 2: a thousand yards, you got a good defense. Pickens is unreliable,
Speaker 2: He's always worth, you know, worthy of a highlight. But
Speaker 2: you got to get you know, some guys who can
Speaker 2: be out there all the time and give you, there's
Speaker 2: no reason to bring in Stafford unless you're going to
Speaker 2: give him some talent. But if I'm Pittsburgh, absolutely Matthew
Speaker 2: Stafford wants out. He wants to get paid, Okay, and
Speaker 2: the Rams aren't afraid. No, that front off is not afraid.
Speaker 2: They'll be like, so, well, just bring in another quarterback here,
Speaker 2: we'll figure it out, all right. We'll take a break.
Speaker 2: More phone calls coming out. We'll play Filling the Blank
Speaker 2: after this, and more of your phone calls as well.

Speaker 2: Victor Wembinyamo is out for the season as a blood
Speaker 2: clat in his shoulder. Now, I was curious about Defensive
Speaker 2: Player of the Year because women and Yama should have
Speaker 2: won it last year, and he hasn't played in the
Speaker 2: number of games that would qualify him to win the
Speaker 2: award this year. So I'm thinking, all right, is Rudy
Speaker 2: Gobert going to win another one of these? And thankfully
Speaker 2: he won't. Evan Mobley is probably the leading candidate, but
Speaker 2: Jaren Jackson Junior third. He won one for Memphis in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, and if he would win the Defensive
Speaker 2: Player of the Year, he would be eligible for a
Speaker 2: super Max contract that would pay him five years, three
Speaker 2: hundred and forty five million dollars. That would be the
Speaker 2: largest contract in the history of total dollars. It would
Speaker 2: be the same deal that Luka Doncik, who was also
Speaker 2: in the same draft, would be eligible or would have
Speaker 2: been eligible for if the MAVs haven't traded him. So
Speaker 2: the biggest contract in the NBA could be Jaren Jackson Junior,
Speaker 2: the third who's twenty five years of age.
Speaker 5: Wow, So winning the award is an escalator for his deal.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's over one hundred million dollars more. Just
Speaker 2: by he would he would be eligible for a super
Speaker 2: Mix because he would be Defensive Player of the Year twice.
Speaker 5: Yes, if you're a Jaron Jackson junior and you get this, Unfortunately,
Speaker 5: because Wemby's out, do you buy him something? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 5: a truck right sixty seventy whatever he wants, yeah, whatever
Speaker 5: he wants, Yeah, whatever you want. It's like Juan Soto
Speaker 5: gave the guy on the Mets who gave him his
Speaker 5: jersey number, he bought him a tahoe, And initially I
Speaker 5: thought it was he bought tahoe, and I'm thinking he's
Speaker 5: got the money for Oh, it's a tahoe. And I
Speaker 5: guess the player that was his dream car. I mean,
Speaker 5: Tamo is a nice car like, but that's not my
Speaker 5: dream car. Yes, Tom, help?
Speaker 10: Was that the basic package?
Speaker 5: Roll up windows? They still have us?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we'll get some more phone calls coming up.
Speaker 2: We'll do uh fill in the blank coming up here.
Speaker 2: In a moment, NFL Competition Committee co chair Rich McKay
Speaker 2: said the NFL will look at both moving the spot
Speaker 2: of the touch back to the thirty five yard line
Speaker 2: moving the kickoff line back five yards in an effort
Speaker 2: to boost returns could be an either or situation. They're
Speaker 2: still tinkering with this. They'd still like to get more
Speaker 2: kickoff returns. They're also toying with the idea of if
Speaker 2: you go forward on fourth down. And I don't know
Speaker 2: all the logistics here because I don't know if anybody
Speaker 2: does yet, but they're trying to do some Hey, it
Speaker 2: would be advantageous for you to go for it on
Speaker 2: fourth down? Or can you go for it on fourth down?
Speaker 2: And what does that mean? So until I see enough
Speaker 2: language there, there's like a fourth and fifteenth, fourth and
Speaker 2: twenty and what that could mean. They're trying to encourage
Speaker 2: more kickoff returns and put the ball in play, you
Speaker 2: know all of this stuff. So the NFL, they never stopped,
Speaker 2: and you know what, they have the luxury of if
Speaker 2: they whiff. I mean, look, esthetically, the kickoff looks weird,
Speaker 2: but if I get action, then I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2: Just give me some movement there. Not here's a kickoff
Speaker 2: and it goes into the end zone. That's it. Just
Speaker 2: give me something there, the potential. And I still would
Speaker 2: love to have the potential for an on side kick
Speaker 2: instead of we're gonna we're gonna have, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: the Broncos are going to have an on side kick. Everybody,
Speaker 2: get ready, get your all hands team up there. Yea balling.
Speaker 5: But this new kickoff, because guys aren't flying the length
Speaker 5: of the field to each other, could open up this
Speaker 5: rule change, which will improve the chances of a kickoff.
Speaker 5: That's a good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ish, Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 11: Maybe the offensive case, you tell the defense team when
Speaker 11: they're going to pass and when they're gonna run, and
Speaker 11: the pictures can say when they're throwing a fastball or
Speaker 11: a curveball.
Speaker 10: Just want to let them know it only gets hurt.
Speaker 2: It seems unlikely. Once again, you always go to this.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, and I don't think we go all the way.
Speaker 11: You can't overstate how ridiculous it is that you have
Speaker 11: to an announce in advance that you're going to be
Speaker 11: doing it on site.
Speaker 2: I get that.
Speaker 10: I don't think people are outraged enough about it.
Speaker 2: Is pretty stupid, it is.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not much different than being like, okay,
Speaker 4: right now we're running the ball.
Speaker 2: Well that much different.
Speaker 10: Comes a bunch everybody running.
Speaker 2: It's not fair.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, currently I'm going to open this up. Is
Speaker 5: there a dumber rule in sports than the on side
Speaker 5: kick rule in the NFL? First one is the extra
Speaker 5: endings rule with a person on second place.
Speaker 2: That's stupid.
Speaker 5: More stupid of those two.
Speaker 2: It's.
Speaker 4: Dang starting with somebody on BASI is about as dumb
Speaker 4: as you can make it. However, we could keep it
Speaker 4: with just the NFL in terms of stupid rules because
Speaker 4: I still think I still don't understand what an ineligible
Speaker 4: man downfield is for. What the hell?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 4: What your alignment? You're only allowed to go a yard
Speaker 4: or whatever before? Ah, you're too far down now now
Speaker 4: you can't do that?
Speaker 2: What the hell for? Well, they don't want you blocking
Speaker 2: until the ball is received. It's possessed, and then you
Speaker 2: can go and block. So if you your lignement is
Speaker 2: down there with your wide receiver blocking as soon as
Speaker 2: he gets the ball, that's I guess what they're trying
Speaker 2: to prevent there.
Speaker 4: I feel like you're receiver should be able to outrun
Speaker 4: your lineman down the field.
Speaker 2: But I'm just going to say, let's say it's Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 4: I still feel like he should be an advanced age.
Speaker 4: He should be able to run faster.
Speaker 2: I'll bet Taylor Swift might be able to run a
Speaker 2: forty similar to Travis Kelcey right now. And don't even
Speaker 2: get me started about Lady Gaga because she can flat
Speaker 2: on flying lady, Lady, ladies and gentlemen, Lady Gaga. Uh uh.
Speaker 2: Jason Kelsey says he thinks he knows what his brother
Speaker 2: is going to do with his playing career. Uh is
Speaker 2: that a surprise.
Speaker 10: Yes, I've got to in there.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, he made it seem like, you know, like
Speaker 2: chefty breaking news. Here I said after the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: I didn't think he played again. But you know, if
Speaker 2: he does playing great, good for him. Yeah, go out
Speaker 2: the way you want to go out, not through somebody else. Alrighty,
Speaker 2: here we go, and you know what, just announce it
Speaker 2: on your podcast.
Speaker 4: It's all after much thought and consideration. I would like
Speaker 4: to announce.
Speaker 2: You gotta talk to a family. Prayed on it a bunch,
Speaker 2: and UH wanted to announce time to coming back, time
Speaker 2: to play fill in the blank, time to play fill
Speaker 2: in the blank. So I read a statement and then
Speaker 2: you fill in the blank. The NBA All Star Weekend
Speaker 2: is blank Todd, uninspiring, Dan, oh, thank you, Satan, action packed, wow,
Speaker 2: dark cabm Marvin lifeless.
Speaker 5: The NBA All Star Weekend is what it is. And
Speaker 5: I hate that phrase, but it's apt.
Speaker 2: The NBA All Star Weekend is filler. Let's fill in
Speaker 2: the failer in the blank, in the blank, not filling
Speaker 2: the Todd. The Four Nations Hockey Tournament was I put.
Speaker 10: Cool in parentheses?
Speaker 2: Is the rule?
Speaker 11: I thought The Four Days Hockey Turner was cool. Is
Speaker 11: the rule coolest game on Earth. I did a little
Speaker 11: hockey ice cool, kind.
Speaker 4: Of seating, lacking enthusiasm, Marvin passionate, Paul appointment worthy.
Speaker 5: I kind of planned my day to make sure I
Speaker 5: saw the puck.
Speaker 2: The Four Nations Hockey Tournament was territorial. Wayne Gretzky's legacy
Speaker 2: is blank. Todd cemented.
Speaker 6: Seat.
Speaker 4: That's what I had to just about the whole hour
Speaker 4: saying the word, Uh, it's a little little shaky.
Speaker 2: Wow, the shaky ones a little shaky, Marvin Jordan esque untouchable.
Speaker 2: Wayne Gretzky's legacy is great. We are back. The news
Speaker 2: about Victor wimbin Yama being out for the season was
Speaker 2: blank Todd.
Speaker 4: Concerning Seaton great for Spurs fans.
Speaker 2: Marvin Silver's worst nightmare.
Speaker 5: Oh sports scary.
Speaker 2: I was gonna go. Concerning uh and being out for
Speaker 2: the season was flagworthy.
Speaker 4: I see what you did there, I see and I
Speaker 4: are on the same Cooper, Huh, good news.
Speaker 2: The Rams should blank Matthew Stafford Ton keep setan.
Speaker 4: They should bank Matthew Stafford bank paid that.
Speaker 2: Bank. The man trade replace Yes, if he wants out,
Speaker 2: he wants to get paid. The Rams aren't going to
Speaker 2: pay him, then you move on. Yes see, there are.
Speaker 4: Some shades of the Giants saying.
Speaker 2: Uh, Saquon, go see what you can get. He'll be
Speaker 2: right back. He's going to be a right back. Nobody's
Speaker 2: paying in that money. Yeah. But then I saw reports
Speaker 2: where the Giants would be interested in bringing in Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure makes sense.
Speaker 2: Why not? Well, if i'm that coaching staff, Matthew Stafford
Speaker 2: can probably help you keep your job better than maybe
Speaker 2: Schador Sanders can as far as winning some games. But
Speaker 2: you do find this though coaches who are on the
Speaker 2: hot seat, and sometimes the GM you draft that quarterback
Speaker 2: because you're like, well, you can't get rid of us.
Speaker 2: I mean, we got to develop this quarterback here. Ask
Speaker 2: the Bears how that worked. Now. They moved on because
Speaker 2: they needed to move on, and that's what you want.
Speaker 2: But Matthew Stafford, you give up for Matthew Stafford. I
Speaker 2: still think it's the Steelers makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: You know, the Steelers know how to find coaches, they
Speaker 2: don't know how to find quarterbacks. When you think they've
Speaker 2: had a lot of quarterbacks, they've had three head coaches
Speaker 2: but you know, you got Ben and you got Terry Bradshaw,
Speaker 2: you got a you got a lot of quarterbacks where
Speaker 2: you go things that make you go hmmm, yes, Mark.
Speaker 7: Did you just laugh at Neil o'd donald?
Speaker 2: He got some Super Bowl I know he did, and
Speaker 2: he threw a couple interceptions, right he did? Okay, yeah, Paul,
Speaker 2: it does.
Speaker 5: It does make Roethlisberger look better every year, like you
Speaker 5: miss him. The end of his career wasn't beautiful. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but now you're like, man, he was reliable.
Speaker 2: Todd. Uh, the NFL should blank the kickoff, spice up seating,
Speaker 2: get rid of it, keep it.
Speaker 4: I don't know, It's like I've never seen a game
Speaker 4: hate its self more than the NFL.
Speaker 2: Marvin get rid of boost.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the NFL should enhance the kick on And that's it.
Speaker 2: We just wore bad. We are so bad all right
Speaker 2: now a week away and we we we still know
Speaker 2: how to do it. Incredible. Could jump date the poll
Speaker 2: results there seating?
Speaker 4: Whoa, Now we're really really back? That's crazy. Uh, let's see,
Speaker 4: most are more cemented legacy. Your options are Wayne Gretzky,
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan. This has been going back and forth all
Speaker 4: day I've been monitoring this closely. Michael Jordan right now
Speaker 4: has fifty four percent of the vote. Just three minutes
Speaker 4: ago it was Wayne Gretzky with fifty one of the vote.
Speaker 2: So it is a developing situation. Fifty one fifty first space.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: Larry in Michigan. Hi, Larry, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3: That's trick call again. I would just weighing in on
Speaker 3: the legacy of Gretzky versus Jordan. The wife and I

Speaker 2: Was he married to Janet? Or did he meet her
Speaker 2: in la? I should know this because I think she was.
Speaker 2: Was Janet Jones viewed as like Yoko Ono that you know,
Speaker 2: kind of broke up the band in Edmonton, like you
Speaker 2: know that John Lennon broke up the Beatles, or Yoko.
Speaker 5: Did smoking Hot though whatever she was doing.
Speaker 2: Oh, I remember that. We used to do these commercials
Speaker 2: where you'd have athletes who would be watching Sports Center
Speaker 2: and then it would be, uh, like a print ad.

Speaker 2: And all of a sudden a friend goes, hey, your
Speaker 2: friends back there, and I have who's my friend? Turn around?

Speaker 2: fill in host, then he'll come on and talk to
Speaker 2: Ross Tucker and that'll be fine. Maybe get Trey Wingo
Speaker 2: to fill in for me one day and he'll see.
Speaker 2: So he's been on the show what twice in the
Speaker 2: last ten years, twice in the last fifteen fifteen, and
Speaker 2: both times I'm on vacation.
Speaker 10: Way too much that.
Speaker 2: It's okay. Hey, he's busy and maybe he doesn't like me.
Speaker 10: Well, Dad, ask very easy softball questions. I'll get back
Speaker 10: to him.

Speaker 11: Joel at Mohegan Sun Saturday night with my wife. I
Speaker 11: decided to not do sports. Piano man's fingers still work well.
Speaker 11: He sounded great, had an awesome time. So that was
Speaker 11: my best of the weekend. Worst of the weekend Illinois

Speaker 11: I missed the first seventeen three point attempts, finished two
Speaker 11: for twenty six from behind the arc.
Speaker 2: Keep shooting, yeah, keep shooting yeah. Seaton Best and worst
Speaker 2: the weekend.
Speaker 4: My best of the weekend my Drake Bulldogs taking down
Speaker 4: their hated Northern Iowa Panthers. That is in overtime. By
Speaker 4: the way, that's one of the greatest rivalries in sports
Speaker 4: that no one's ever heard of. It's absolutely fantastic. Shout
Speaker 4: out to Drake. Let's go boys. Okay, My even more
Speaker 4: bester of the week my Seaton Hall Pirates taken down
Speaker 4: the Yukon Huskies.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That was the moment that I was like, damn, I
Speaker 4: wish we were still on the show. Seaton Hall were
Speaker 4: in the middle of like a seventeen game losing streak
Speaker 4: and I'm not even exaggerating it was something crazy like that,
Speaker 4: and they somehow squeak out a winner against the back
Speaker 4: to back national champs.
Speaker 2: God did that feel good? I don't care.
Speaker 4: They've lost every game before that, They've lost every game since,
Speaker 4: but they got that one.
Speaker 2: That's the one that counted Marvin. Best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend. You can go to Paul.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Paul, speaking of stories that I wish we
Speaker 5: were on the air for piggybacking Illinois with Fritzy. Illinois
Speaker 5: retired Terrence Shannon Junior's jersey last Saturday and when dropped
Speaker 5: from the banners, it was upside down and upside down
Speaker 5: upside down and it was a mistake. AD took credit
Speaker 5: for it, blamed for it, but Terrence Shannon Junior started
Speaker 5: to start doing t shirts off this where his number
Speaker 5: and his name is upside down. Having my best and
Speaker 5: worst of the weekend double best. Hannah Hidalgo, the guard
Speaker 5: for Notre Dame. Man is she fun to watch? She
Speaker 5: has mastered this game of basketball and the other one.
Speaker 5: Alex Rodriguez A Rod for some reason, was that had
Speaker 5: a Bucknell basketball game for a kid to win ten
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. He had a half court shot and celebrated
Speaker 5: with the bro. So fun weekend for a Rod.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Then he's in line to take over the Minnesota

Speaker 2: Best The What oh Wait?
Speaker 7: Bester Court of Gold, the documentario on Netflix that followed
Speaker 7: four teams in the Olympics. Man super passionate. Everyone was
Speaker 7: super competitive. You saw Joki have some real fire. He
Speaker 7: cares more about winning a bronze medal for the Olympics
Speaker 7: than winning a championship at the NBA.
Speaker 2: You would gather that by watching his reaction.
Speaker 7: His screams, and like how animated he was in the
Speaker 7: locker room.
Speaker 2: Unreal. Uh. I enjoyed the season three of Reacher. The
Speaker 2: first three episodes, Reacher is just a drifter and wherever
Speaker 2: he goes, there's trouble and he cleans up the mess.
Speaker 2: He's a big dude. He looks like he played could
Speaker 2: play defensive lineman like nose tackle and white lotus. Get
Speaker 2: to see Patrick Schwarzenegger naked. Uh that's always you know,
Speaker 2: a bonus. It didn't help the plot. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: know why, very I don't know. Well, they probably do
Speaker 2: that to women all the time, so maybe the women
Speaker 2: are saying, yeah, we're okay with that as you said. Bonus, right, yeah, bonus,
Speaker 2: Yes I did. Yeah, so I think his dad is
Speaker 2: very proud of him.
Speaker 4: He said, tush Yeah, I got.
Speaker 1: A cute tushy.
Speaker 4: What's the big deal, got a cute tushy.
Speaker 10: I did not advance the story anyway. He was on

Speaker 10: it in an odd way.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, final hour on the way on this Monday
