Speaker 1: We've got you taken care of. They're made from scratch
Speaker 1: using healthy, all natural ingredients, and twenty percent of all
Speaker 1: Bang biscuit sales given back to hand pick partners in
Speaker 1: the pet industry, including the rescue place where I got
Speaker 1: my puppy, and also where Penny came from, so Winnie
Speaker 1: and Penny, and also Pauli's dog, little Archie. Little archives.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to talking some football, and I got to
Speaker 1: make my Super Bowl pick. I thought it was too easy,
Speaker 1: and now I'm having second thoughts. So I got a
Speaker 1: little time before I give you my Super Bowl pick,
Speaker 1: and I'll let the Dannets try to guess who I'm picking,
Speaker 1: or maybe who I'm not picking. Eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: d P Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle at dp's show. Seaton will do the honors
Speaker 1: with the poll question coming up in a little bit,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to Mike Arko Michael be on the
Speaker 1: call for tonight's game on NBC and Peacock. On Peacock
Speaker 1: our streaming partner, download the app. You can watch this
Speaker 1: program and you know the weight is finally over. We
Speaker 1: get Buffalo and we get the Rams to kick off
Speaker 1: this season tonight. Now, what I've liked to have had
Speaker 1: Buffalo play Kansas City. Yes, but that's not the way
Speaker 1: it work works. The defending Super Bowl champs get to
Speaker 1: host Opening Night Thursday night. That's why you have the
Speaker 1: Rams hosting the Buffalo Bills. Now, let me mention this.
Speaker 1: I know everybody loves the Buffalo Bills, which scares me
Speaker 1: because we're never right the consensus. Like. But then I had,
Speaker 1: you know, NFL scouts saying, why are you overthinking this?
Speaker 1: And he posed the question to me. The friend of
Speaker 1: mine says, what if the Rams didn't win the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, would you pick them? I said probably.
Speaker 1: He said, sometimes it's right in front of you and
Speaker 1: you don't want to acknowledge that the Rams are still
Speaker 1: the team to beat in the NFC. But because teams
Speaker 1: don't repeat his Super Bowl chams, people won't pick the
Speaker 1: Rams this year. He said, That to me is flawed logic.
Speaker 1: I said, but I have history on my side. They
Speaker 1: don't repeat, so do I take the Rams? And the
Speaker 1: Rams may have gotten better in the offseason. Keep in
Speaker 1: mind super Bowl odds last year the Rams were fourth,
Speaker 1: so they were there. It's not a big surprise that
Speaker 1: they did go to the super Bowl and win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl but if the Rams didn't win the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, how many people would look at them
Speaker 1: to go back or just to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I'd say a majority, not the consensus we have with
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And you also look at the division
Speaker 1: that you're in. Are you going to survive? Are you
Speaker 1: going to get beat up? This used to happen in
Speaker 1: the NFC West with Seattle and the Niners and the Rams.
Speaker 1: You just beat each other up all season long. You're
Speaker 1: going to have that in the AFC West. I think
Speaker 1: probably in the AFC North with the Ravens and the Browns,
Speaker 1: Bengals in the Steelers. How tough is your division? Buffalo's
Speaker 1: got the Patriots, they feel like an average team, Miami
Speaker 1: a little above average. The Jets will be a little
Speaker 1: bit better, at least they should be, but they don't
Speaker 1: have anybody that's really threatening them. How many divisions can
Speaker 1: you say that about the Niners talent wise or right
Speaker 1: on par with the Rams. Seattle may knock off somebody
Speaker 1: just because they still have a couple of playmakers there,
Speaker 1: and I don't know about Arizona. There is the potential there.
Speaker 1: But that's a great first half of the season team,
Speaker 1: it's the second half that we have some problems there.
Speaker 1: I look at Tampa Bay. They still have Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: but even though they have a lot of talent, it
Speaker 1: feels like this could go wrong for Tom Brady this year.
Speaker 1: And it's rare when I say that, but just everything
Speaker 1: that happened, what's happening to him in his personal life.
Speaker 1: And then you have an offensive line where your best
Speaker 1: offensive lineman is injured, your second best offensive lineman retired
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is there, but he's the artist formerly known
Speaker 1: as Godwin coming back from an injury. We love Mike Evans.
Speaker 1: Can you get something big out of Leonard Fournette when
Speaker 1: you need to? There's no grounk there. Todd Bowle's new
Speaker 1: head coach, even though he's coached before there, it just
Speaker 1: feels like there's a lot going on there. The Saints,
Speaker 1: it comes down to Jameis Winston because I do think
Speaker 1: they have the talent. I think they're going to be
Speaker 1: one of those teams where you go, Wow, didn't see
Speaker 1: that coming, or man, I should have seen that coming.
Speaker 1: It's a good team, and I think Chris Olave is
Speaker 1: a great wide receiver. Can Michael Thomas be a great
Speaker 1: wide receiver again. Can he reclaim what he did in
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen? Like, those are some of the concerns that
Speaker 1: I have, But those are good concerns. Now you do
Speaker 1: have a rookie head coach. But it still comes back
Speaker 1: to Jameis Winston and here he is giving us an
Speaker 1: anatomy lesson yesterday. You got certain things that we're all like.
Speaker 1: It's body is so symmetrical, right you got you got
Speaker 1: your wrists, you know? And what are your wrists on
Speaker 1: the bottom half? The ankles? You know? And you got
Speaker 1: your shoulders up top? What are your shoulder your hips?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You got your elbows? What
Speaker 1: are you elbows? Your knees? Right? Like? So well, it's
Speaker 1: symmetrical and you just gotta work different parts. Huh oh no,
Speaker 1: I just changed my super fo I know. Uh. Yes,
Speaker 1: see is it weird that I completely understand what he's saying. Yes,
Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense to me. I totally get it. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: I couldn't help with think while I was hearing that head, shoulders, knees,
Speaker 1: and toes little children. Yes, act he had him all right,
Speaker 1: the order, the placement. Technically he is right. He's not crazy,
Speaker 1: but he's unique. Unique. Unique is a positive version of cracks.
Speaker 1: I mean, your risks are basically, you know, like the
Speaker 1: ankles of your hands. I totally get that. Okay, why
Speaker 1: are we talking about because our body's just so symmetrical,
Speaker 1: but we don't need to I don't know what your
Speaker 1: h your hip and your shoulder or schlacken or basically
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. Totally get that. Yes, okay, so
Speaker 1: why are we discussing that all do? I think he
Speaker 1: just brought it up on his own. But yeah, that now,
Speaker 1: if he brought it up on his own, then I'd say,
Speaker 1: all right, you're crazy. By the way, I was just
Speaker 1: thinking to something, Yeah, yeah, like our knees are sort
Speaker 1: of like the elbows of our legs. You understood, the
Speaker 1: ankles are the knees that our elbows are to our shoulders. Huh. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was like a Bill Walton or old school like
Speaker 1: a Dennis Hopper answer to a question. But they are
Speaker 1: you smoking pots? When they did it blue? It's illegal.
Speaker 1: By the way, I am calling for under reaction Friday.
Speaker 1: We always have overreaction. Monday, I'm calling for underreaction. Let's
Speaker 1: say the Rams win by four, anybody going to overreact?
Speaker 1: If Buffalo wins by four, they're favored by two or
Speaker 1: two and a half. Is anybody going to overreact? Now
Speaker 1: here's your overreaction. If Buffalo blows out the Rams, then
Speaker 1: everybody's going to be on Buffalo's bandwagon. If the Rams
Speaker 1: blow out Buffalo, the following will be said, man shouldn't
Speaker 1: have doubted the Rams. There's no hangover here. It's such
Speaker 1: a long season, and we should look at the NFL
Speaker 1: season the way we do college football, because we start
Speaker 1: out and we fall in love with the team or
Speaker 1: a player or both, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: it gets to December and you go, weren't you big
Speaker 1: on Iowa State brock Purty. Yeah, but that was in September.
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette won the Heisman in September a few years
Speaker 1: ago when he was at LSU. That's what happens. We
Speaker 1: fall in love with the team early, or we bury
Speaker 1: a team early, and that's what's going to happen in
Speaker 1: the NFL Seaton Poll question today is what Pauly sent
Speaker 1: in a banger here career? I AT want going forward?
Speaker 1: Alan mahomes Lamar Burrow, you know that Lamar Jackson situation.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's delicate or not, and maybe
Speaker 1: I've been overreacting to it. I think it's a big
Speaker 1: deal that does he have to prove himself again this year?
Speaker 1: And it feels like that because the deadline is tomorrow
Speaker 1: if he doesn't have a new contract, and if you
Speaker 1: have your mom representing you, and I'm going to guess
Speaker 1: you hire a lawyer, you pay an hourly wage to him.
Speaker 1: I don't know if his mom has legal background, but
Speaker 1: his mom is representing him. Plus, I'd love to have
Speaker 1: a camera on the conversation between the Ravens and Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson's mom, because are you going to say to her
Speaker 1: what you would normally say? Maybe to his agent that
Speaker 1: doesn't get back to your client. Because this happened to me,
Speaker 1: My agent famously went in to negotiate a contract with
Speaker 1: Mark Shapiro, who was running ESPN, and Shapiro said to
Speaker 1: my agent, he's over the hill and nobody will hire him.
Speaker 1: And that was sixteen years ago, and he might have
Speaker 1: been right, but then he did want to resign me.
Speaker 1: But the things that are said in those moments, and
Speaker 1: then my agent said after the fact, when I, of
Speaker 1: course went crawling back to ESPN, like, will you jake me,
Speaker 1: please take whatever you have, give me your scraps, give
Speaker 1: me what you're not giving Burman. And then my agent said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Shapiro said that you're over the hill and
Speaker 1: you won't get another job. Thank god. You know, I
Speaker 1: was so naive. And then you had to go work
Speaker 1: for yourself. Dan started your own show because nobody would
Speaker 1: hire you. So he was right. Yeah, yess Mark was
Speaker 1: right Dan. Yeah, that's my point. Yeah, maybe he was.
Speaker 1: But can you imagine uh, Steve Biscotti when he's in
Speaker 1: there or Bishotti? Uh isn't Biscotti? Is that the cookie
Speaker 1: that's the stuff you're putting your coffee? Yeah, which is lovely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: lovely treat? Are those cookies? His name is Steve Biscotti, Bisotti,
Speaker 1: Biscottie those on the airplane. Yeah, they do, lovely treat. No,
Speaker 1: they're not, they're not. They're lame when they're little chocolate
Speaker 1: you No, No, it's it's like a they're not chocolate, man.
Speaker 1: You know what a good though? Those Uh like Pepperidge
Speaker 1: Farm Milano cookies. Let's get some milanos, Lien Milano. Yes,
Speaker 1: you can crush I sleep Milano, Yes I could. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that. They you know, they have them in uh,
Speaker 1: like there's a separation there, like here's four of them.
Speaker 1: That's enough. Yes, you got to go past that. Now
Speaker 1: you're just being a pig. But that's enough. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: they're telling you, hey, that's enough, all right, walk away
Speaker 1: from the bag, put the bag down. But yeah, they
Speaker 1: put them where there's like here's here's the first level
Speaker 1: and then there's second level. Oh if you go third level,
Speaker 1: but you want to save some for someone else. Yes,
Speaker 1: Scottie is an Italian I'm in biscuit they called him.
Speaker 1: I'm in biscuit sometimes confused for a cookie. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: not a cookie, it's a biscuit and it's boring. Well here,
Speaker 1: it's dry on purpose because it's basically a cookie sponge.
Speaker 1: It's you're encouraged to dip it in your drink, which
Speaker 1: is a coffee type of drink. Actual sound from do
Speaker 1: you know that? I did that? My wife's family had
Speaker 1: an Italian feast over the weekend and I tried to
Speaker 1: do the fake accent where and then they looked at
Speaker 1: me and they go, that's not funny. And I go,
Speaker 1: I thought it was that's I'm sorry. My wife is
Speaker 1: so mad at me now because not I try to
Speaker 1: stop doing it, but sometimes I can't help it. But
Speaker 1: now our son does it and help it. She's like, Patrick,
Speaker 1: you know see that's not funny. It's not funny. That's
Speaker 1: my heritage. That is not funny. I know. I caught
Speaker 1: some grief because you know, I kind of mood and
Speaker 1: they don't think it's funny. I go, why is it
Speaker 1: that everybody laughs at the Irish but we're not allowed
Speaker 1: to laugh at anybody else? Tell me that, Todd, I
Speaker 1: don't get it. Why it's why is that offensive? It's
Speaker 1: like unique, it's fun I don't know. That's not meant
Speaker 1: to be mean. I don't think when you do that impersonation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as my wife says, not everybody gets your sense of
Speaker 1: human I can't tell you how many times she tells
Speaker 1: me that. I go, I know, that's great. Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: actually believe we're not going to a Calamari festival. Nothing
Speaker 1: surprising about that at all, not at all. Yeah, believe
Speaker 1: it or not? What do you mean? Of course, first
Speaker 1: week in the NFL season, I'm at a Calamari festival.
Speaker 1: In Rhode Island. Most believable thing you said today? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you wear it? Get your outfit picked that already?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna guess there's valore involved. I'll be
Speaker 1: lightly bredded toe shoes, sir, sir, capri pants whatever. No,
Speaker 1: you can't. All right, nobody gets you ready for the happy,
Speaker 1: happy football, Happy football. Marv's team is the Niners Seaton.
Speaker 1: I don't know, are you a Patriots fan or a
Speaker 1: buck in your fan because it Tom Brady. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of both, okay, kind of both. Your New England buccaneer. Yeah. Uh,
Speaker 1: Paulie is a Bears fan. Oh you got no hope? No,
Speaker 1: but I have no hope. Yeah, it's not like I
Speaker 1: have thirty percent hope. It's nuns. So you would rather
Speaker 1: be the Bears with no hope than the Dolphins. No, No,
Speaker 1: they have a lot of hope. I waddle in those guys.
Speaker 1: I know that they could be disappointing. Like you, you
Speaker 1: buy into the hope. I'm trying to think. Okay, like
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, they were five and twelve last year.
Speaker 1: I think the Bears are six and eleven. The Bears
Speaker 1: feel way worse than the Carolina Panthers. To me, you
Speaker 1: would rather be a Bears fan. Here's why, I think quickly,
Speaker 1: here's why it's awkward to be a Bears fan. If
Speaker 1: they have the one of the worst records in league
Speaker 1: this year, there's be two or three great quarterbacks to draft.
Speaker 1: So after decimating Justin Field's career, they're gonna be the
Speaker 1: position where they could draft a quarterback. Wait, do you
Speaker 1: think they're gonna move on from Justin Fields? Other people
Speaker 1: have They're not gonna move on. I know. I just say, like,
Speaker 1: but they're in a position we'll probably pass on a
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback. They do that a lot. But
Speaker 1: when there's no hope, it's relaxing. Let's take a break
Speaker 1: when the guy's not a Titanic. Remember those guys playing
Speaker 1: the fiddles, Yeah, you guys. So the Bears fans are
Speaker 1: in the band. I'm the guy playing the fiddle in
Speaker 1: the violin on the titi I never understood that it's over.
Speaker 1: The captain goes down with a ship, not the band.
Speaker 1: But they're playing as they're sinking. Is there's something I'm
Speaker 1: missing that that there's a like a rule book. They
Speaker 1: had a contract to finish the game. They were and
Speaker 1: they wanted honor of a catching in case they got rescued.
Speaker 1: Now they were coming out for an encore, and damn it,
Speaker 1: they were gonna play it on. Oh wait, we gotta
Speaker 1: that's what happened. The band leader, like the manager of
Speaker 1: the bar area, the bar area, Yeah, nobody want to
Speaker 1: ice in their drinks after they could even look at
Speaker 1: ice too much ice? I got an iceberg in my bear. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did that really happen. I know there's stories and
Speaker 1: things like that, But if I'm playing the cello and
Speaker 1: I'm about to sink, I think I'm throwing that instrument
Speaker 1: down and running into one of those boats. Ritzie would
Speaker 1: have knocking over children and women. Women and children. First,
Speaker 1: I'm getting in that boat. Oh, let's take a break.
Speaker 1: We are ready to go. Bishatti to Biscotti, Pepperidge Farm,
Speaker 1: Milano cookies, a Lissa Milano pronouncing Italian foods. So that
Speaker 1: was basically the script that we just followed right there,
Speaker 1: Twitter to the Bears, to the band and Titanic. Yes,
Speaker 1: we did all of that in eighteen minutes. What more?
Speaker 1: I said, and says my wife, she goes to subway.
Speaker 1: Can I have moot. It's mozzarella like, no, it's not.

Speaker 1: operator Tyler standing by Doug in North Carolina, leads us
Speaker 1: off this Thursday morning. Hi Doug, welcome back, Hey Dan.
Speaker 1: Two quick things. First off, I would love it if
Speaker 1: on every Thursday, the five of you would do a
Speaker 1: weekly survivor pool. I'd love to see who was the
Speaker 1: last man standing in that. And secondly, I would just
Speaker 1: like to jump on a soapbox and plead with people
Speaker 1: that I really think there ought to be a limit
Speaker 1: of one Fantasy p one fantasy team per per person.
Speaker 1: I can't understand these people who have multiple leagues. If
Speaker 1: this player scores a touchdown, he hurts me in this league,
Speaker 1: but helps me in that league. I would just like
Speaker 1: to publicly say, limit yourself to one Fantasy all right, Doug,
Speaker 1: I have said that before in previous years, because whenever
Speaker 1: you're with somebody watching games and then they'll go, he's
Speaker 1: on my fantasy too. He's on my fantasy too. There
Speaker 1: are very few things that are more annoying than he's
Speaker 1: on my fantasy too. And then I always say, how
Speaker 1: many fantasy teams do you have? I have five? Tell
Speaker 1: me who you don't have? Yes, time. It's similar to
Speaker 1: the whole March Madness brackets, having one versus several of those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're eventually canna have like every team picked for an upset.
Speaker 1: And that's why I always say, how many brackets did
Speaker 1: you fill out? I think four? Okay, then that doesn't count.
Speaker 1: You can't brag about that he's on my fantasy too.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I used to be that annoying
Speaker 1: guy because I whenever I was at ESPN and they
Speaker 1: would have a draft like this week would be It'd
Speaker 1: be crazy for me because I'd walk by a conference
Speaker 1: room and you'd see like twelve guys in there, and
Speaker 1: I go, what are you guys doing? Draft? Did you
Speaker 1: start yet? No? Can I come in. I loved being
Speaker 1: there for the draft. I didn't like managing my team
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. I love drafting, and there
Speaker 1: are different different things that you draft. We did salary
Speaker 1: cap one year, where you'd have one hundred dollars and
Speaker 1: then you had to draft your team. So let's say
Speaker 1: you wanted to go all in and you wanted to
Speaker 1: spend twenty five dollars on somebody, Well, salary. If you
Speaker 1: just say salary, then that triggers that I just said
Speaker 1: salary cap. It's a it's a glitch in our system.
Speaker 1: Yes see, somebody sent us on social media, like sometime
Speaker 1: this week, dude's driving and that that song came on
Speaker 1: the radio, the real song, and he's got his phone
Speaker 1: pointed at his significant other and he's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: saying this sing songs. She's like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Stop it? You know, and he's calling salary. Why are
Speaker 1: you seeing a song that way? Would you stop it? Stupid?
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the people who don't know what
Speaker 1: we do and who we are, sar. But you know,
Speaker 1: your girlfriend or wife's going, what are you doing? Like?
Speaker 1: Who who are these guys putting your phone at me?
Speaker 1: Are they are they women? They're known as dan Z? No,
Speaker 1: No they're not, they're guys. Well why are they called
Speaker 1: dan Z? I have either an NFL question or an
Speaker 1: NFL poll. What would you like? First NFL question? Okay,
Speaker 1: why is does everybody think the New England Patriots are
Speaker 1: not going to be good this year? And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: set it up this way. The Bills had eleven wins
Speaker 1: last year. The Patriots had ten. One game difference. You know,
Speaker 1: the Patriots outscored their opponents last year, just a year
Speaker 1: ago by one hundred and fifty nine points. That's the
Speaker 1: second best margin point margin the entire AFC. But if
Speaker 1: you watch TV this week and everyone, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's hot takes. They really believe the Patriots are going
Speaker 1: to drop off? Well, I think everybody got caught up
Speaker 1: in well, who's calling the plays? I'm thinking Bill knows
Speaker 1: what he's doing. It's not like Belichick goes, oh thing,
Speaker 1: you know, the things to do list, and then he
Speaker 1: forgot you know, like item ten is name an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: It didn't get around to name an offensive quarter. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna guess he it all funnels through Bill. He sort
Speaker 1: of knows what he's doing here. Can you get the
Speaker 1: same kind of offensive performance? Is mac Jones improved? I
Speaker 1: think they're kind of generic when you look, it's sort
Speaker 1: of a faceless team, and the face is still Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: But I agree with you. I'm surprised that New England
Speaker 1: had only one win, less than Buffalo, but the offense
Speaker 1: did score. Yeah, but isn't part of it too, not
Speaker 1: just the like who's calling lays? But who who's calling plays?
Speaker 1: Where they're like, so, who's the offensive coordinator this year? Well,
Speaker 1: we don't have one, but who's gonna do? Oh, Matt
Speaker 1: Patricia is gonna do it. Isn't he a defensive coordinate? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's doing offense this year. Like, there's just a
Speaker 1: lot of weird Who Joe Judge, what does he well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know he's like was the special teams guy, but
Speaker 1: then he was the head coach. But now he's gonna
Speaker 1: help on offense too. It just seems very strange. Yes,
Speaker 1: And also without looking at who they've added and lost,
Speaker 1: because I couldn't tell you off the top of my head,
Speaker 1: it seems like everyone in the division has gotten better,
Speaker 1: at least a little bit. The Jets Miami have got
Speaker 1: a little better of Bills are as good maybe if
Speaker 1: not better. Another year of Josh Allen, but I'm not
Speaker 1: sure in New England has gotten any better than last year? Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, here's a poll. These are five starting quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the NFL, which was if I told you in February, Ritisterable,
Speaker 1: these five men would be starting for the teams. Jacoby
Speaker 1: Brosette for the Browns, Joe Flacco for the Jets, Mitch
Speaker 1: Rubisky for the Steelers, Gino Smith for the Seattle Seahawks,
Speaker 1: and Marcus Mariota for the Atlanta Falcons. If I'd have
Speaker 1: told you in February, those will be starters week one,
Speaker 1: which is shocking by those names. Mitchell true Bisky, I
Speaker 1: would have believed the other one's probably not maybe Jacoby
Speaker 1: Brissette because we didn't know how long Deshaun Watson was
Speaker 1: going to be out, but we didn't know, and Jacoby
Speaker 1: Brissette was he on the team, Like they hadn't even
Speaker 1: made a play for Watson yet at that point, like
Speaker 1: it was okay, Seine Baker, then I wouldn't have I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have known, Yeah, okay, um Gino Smith starting, which
Speaker 1: would have meant that, you know, Russell Wilson, Well, I
Speaker 1: thought Russ was out, So I'm I'm privy to some
Speaker 1: information that that that was going to happen. It was
Speaker 1: either him or Pete Carroll, and Pete Carroll wasn't leaving. Um,
Speaker 1: let's see, Rubisky, I would have bought in because we
Speaker 1: knew that they were going to move on from Ben,
Speaker 1: but we didn't know if they're going to draft a
Speaker 1: quarterback who was ready to play. So I guess I
Speaker 1: would say Truebisky. That would have meant that you thought
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was out in Atlanta. And I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody thought that Matt Ryan was going to be out
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. But you know when they started to flirt
Speaker 1: with other quarterbacks, when Atlanta flirted with Deshaun Watson, then
Speaker 1: that was it. Matt Ryan's like, I've given you like
Speaker 1: fifteen years here see you, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's like, we got to get a quarterback now because
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan on one town. Yeah yeah, Matt, we're flirting
Speaker 1: with some other people. It turns out we didn't want
Speaker 1: that you want to come back. I always think it's
Speaker 1: amazing though, that management ownership feels like, hey, just business here, Well,
Speaker 1: why can't the player who you're cheating on behind his back? Though?
Speaker 1: It's just business man and not nothing personal. But it
Speaker 1: is personal. The player takes it personally. The team looks
Speaker 1: at it is just business. But then they're saying to hey,
Speaker 1: don't take it person How can you not? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean if you want to upgrade, you and you go,
Speaker 1: you know, I like my wife, but um yeah, let
Speaker 1: me see you, let me talk to her. Then it begins.
Speaker 1: Then it becomes personal. Yeah, try that with your wife
Speaker 1: or your girlfriend. I'm just trying to upgrade. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, what's her dinner? Let her do that to you. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to upgrade. Yes, here's another team that's
Speaker 1: a little confounding, the Washington Football Club. What are they
Speaker 1: Commanders these days? Okay, nobody likes them, buddy. I went
Speaker 1: through all the NFL picks of like the experts, there's
Speaker 1: like two hundred people nationally who make picks. Nobody has
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders as like a bottom feeder where they're
Speaker 1: a top three draft pick. But I can't find anyone
Speaker 1: who has them making the playoffs. And nobody loves their
Speaker 1: new quarterback. No, no one's even going on a limb.
Speaker 1: They were seven and ten last year. They weren't the
Speaker 1: worst team. That division is not crazy. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: got Chase Young who's banging up. Yeah, Eagles and Cowboys
Speaker 1: will bang them up too. Yeah, you think, but that's
Speaker 1: a team that nobody thinks will make the step. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they feel like an eight, eight win maybe nine
Speaker 1: win team. I mean, the NFL loves this that we
Speaker 1: sort of look at the number of teams where you go,
Speaker 1: they could win eight, nine, ten or eleven games, and
Speaker 1: if you fall out of that, you fall out of that.
Speaker 1: You're rarefied air that if they think you're gonna win
Speaker 1: more than eleven, and then you go beneath that, and
Speaker 1: then you get the Bears, the Jets, I guess, maybe
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Texans. There's a few teams, but one of those
Speaker 1: teams is going to surprise you. One of those teams
Speaker 1: is going to be better than what you think. And
Speaker 1: that's always the interesting part. Every year, there's like four
Speaker 1: that go up and then four that drop down, and
Speaker 1: that's based on a couple of things, but also scheduling.
Speaker 1: But the NFL loves there's no other sport where you
Speaker 1: start the season, you go, you know, if a couple
Speaker 1: of things go our way, we could beat the Bengals
Speaker 1: this year, and there has to be a fan base
Speaker 1: that thinks this is the year that we could be
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. I don't know who that fan base is.
Speaker 1: But you know what were the Bengals last year? They
Speaker 1: were in the just in the bottom third of Super Bowlots. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it went right for him, Everything broke right for them.
Speaker 1: Burrow had an unbelieable year. Jamar Chase lived up to
Speaker 1: what people thought he was going to be. Yeah. More.
Speaker 1: That's also to beat about the NFL, especially the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You only have to play well against a team once,
Speaker 1: like you have to beat them in a series. So
Speaker 1: all it takes is a couple, beat the Raiders, beat
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Bills, whoever, and get to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: There you are. Yeah, because when you're in your division,
Speaker 1: you're going to be playing everybody you know, same same teams,
Speaker 1: and then you have to play them twice. But when
Speaker 1: you get to the playoffs, the Bengals had to play
Speaker 1: the Raiders once, Bengals playing Kansas City once, that's it
Speaker 1: knock them off. It's not like you go, we got
Speaker 1: a rematch. I'm still trying to figure out why Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay can't beat New Orleans. Right, you got Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: and you got a Buccaneers team that's really good, can't
Speaker 1: beat New Orleans for some reason. Yes, why do the
Speaker 1: Patriots keep having so much trouble with the Dolphins? I
Speaker 1: know they've gotten better in recent years, but what is
Speaker 1: that about? And especially down there, like it almost feels
Speaker 1: like they're gonna lose, right they just the Dolphins are
Speaker 1: hosting the Patriots and somehow they make them look bad.
Speaker 1: No matter how good Miami is or not good, they
Speaker 1: not good. They end up making New England sort of
Speaker 1: play an ugly game. Yeah, Susan, this isn't exactly breaking
Speaker 1: news or like a hot take or anything, but the
Speaker 1: Dolphins could be fun to watch this year old Absolutely
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Oh there must see TV. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it could be really good or really bad. And
Speaker 1: of course they got the most accurate passer in the
Speaker 1: game in Tua, the most accurate passer in according to
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill. Yes, if you're in love with five yard
Speaker 1: crossing patterns, become a Dolphins fan. Yes, five yards turns
Speaker 1: into forty five. Battle is going to have a hundred
Speaker 1: You think you'll have a hundred catches? Okay, I would
Speaker 1: bet on that, bet on it. What hold police. Okay,
Speaker 1: back up, No, and I wasn't gonna say part of
Speaker 1: the face. I'll see what he seems poised to just
Speaker 1: catch all those across them pie of the face. All right.
Speaker 1: Here's one most surprising development of this season would be
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz makes the Pro Bowl, Trey Lance makes the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, Daniel Jones makes the Pro Bowl, Tua Tonga
Speaker 1: Viola Junior the third makes the Pro Bowl. Yes, I
Speaker 1: think I had Daniel Jones as my comeback player of
Speaker 1: the year when we did an earlier thing. Come back
Speaker 1: from what I know. Don't you have to come back
Speaker 1: from last year, so you come back from not playing. Well,
Speaker 1: he hasn't really come back from that. Uh that fall,
Speaker 1: Well he didn't like literally fall, No, he did literally fall.
Speaker 1: He did when he remember he was running and he
Speaker 1: had this like breakaway year, right yeah, no, but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying he still hasn't really rebounded from that. That's
Speaker 1: our loofsky and if he doesn't have a good career, yeah,
Speaker 1: he needs another year to just wipe that away. You
Speaker 1: don't want to be known for one thing like that.
Speaker 1: He carried all of our hopes there. He ran like right,
Speaker 1: he did fifty five yards and then completely ran out
Speaker 1: of gas and fell. All all white guys who played
Speaker 1: quarterback are going yo, yeah, eighty again. No, it's like
Speaker 1: damn it. Of course it could have been one of
Speaker 1: the great runs of all time. It was one of
Speaker 1: the It was gonna be one of longer quarterback runs
Speaker 1: in league history, and history caught up with him. But
Speaker 1: I think he was carrying all of our hopes again
Speaker 1: he looked up at the jummo, trying to remember he's
Speaker 1: a white guy and just went out under him. White
Speaker 1: guy quarterback runs of all time. It was so it
Speaker 1: was I still think Mark Malone has the greatest white
Speaker 1: quarterback run of all time. Are we breaking on the
Speaker 1: top by well, I'm gonna put Steve Young's run against
Speaker 1: the Vikings in there. A lot of power with that run.
Speaker 1: That one was amazing, but he was stumbling, bumbling to
Speaker 1: get to the end zone. Mark Malone had, like, is
Speaker 1: that a ninety two yard touchdown run? And he's a
Speaker 1: pure drop back guy. He was an athlete. He worked
Speaker 1: at the Mothership. He was an athlete. Mark was a
Speaker 1: but out of Arizona in the state he was an athlete.
Speaker 1: But I think he might have the longest run, like
Speaker 1: ninety yards or something. Now, what's it a catch our run?
Speaker 1: I got him catching a ball Mark Blong did he
Speaker 1: who he? Did he catch it from Cliff Stout? I
Speaker 1: gotta check this whole Oh well, never mind, Well we
Speaker 1: don't know we're checking. I thought he was a keeper.
Speaker 1: I thought he ran a keeper and and went like
Speaker 1: ninety yards. I'm on the website Great White Running Quarterbacks
Speaker 1: dot Com, and it's about we're about to shut it down.
Speaker 1: I don't get this much traffic. I got Mark Malone
Speaker 1: catching a touchdown. He's number sixteen, right, Yeah, they put
Speaker 1: him at wide receiver and they decided not to cover
Speaker 1: him because he's number sixteen. And I think it's a
Speaker 1: ninety one yard I thought he had a keeper and
Speaker 1: he went ninety yards. Never mind, you gotta revise your
Speaker 1: top five. I know. Maybe it's Steve Young, Steve Young's
Speaker 1: run against the Vikings. Marvin, you want to comment on this, Huh,
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to. You know, I'm gonna throw Brady
Speaker 1: in there when he faked Erlocker because Erlocker still is
Speaker 1: traumatized by that fake. Where he got by Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: That's only five yards isn't it. Yeah, four yards, Well man,
Speaker 1: we're desperate. By the way, I think jaylen Waddle had
Speaker 1: a hundred catches last year. Yeah, you're the one that
Speaker 1: backed off your bed. I was like Will Ferrell and
Speaker 1: old school, kind of like out of my mind. All right,

Speaker 1: sends out a tweet. Since two thousand, the defending Super
Speaker 1: Bowl champs have gone nineteen and three in season openers
Speaker 1: rams two point underdogs. The Buffalo Bills have covered the
Speaker 1: spread at around a fifty eight percent clip since twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. Here's some numbers over under passing yards tonight.
Speaker 1: Who throws for more yards Josh Allen two seventy seven
Speaker 1: and a half Matthew Stafford under two seventy four and
Speaker 1: a half. I think if Matthew Stafford throws over that,
Speaker 1: then the Rams are trailing saying, you know, Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: does he need to throw that much? How often? Buffalo
Speaker 1: favored by two game in Los Angeles? You know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make my Super Bowl pick a little bit later on,
Speaker 1: And as I said, it kind of came to me
Speaker 1: a little easier than in previous years. And sometimes you
Speaker 1: fall in love with the team and then you try
Speaker 1: to come up with excuses why you shouldn't. It's like
Speaker 1: dating somebody that you shouldn't date. But then you go,
Speaker 1: I don't know there's something there. I'll let you guys
Speaker 1: guess a little later on. I think you've been tipping
Speaker 1: it a little bit in the first couple of seconds,
Speaker 1: tipping your picks, tipping your picks or throwing us off
Speaker 1: the sense? Am I telling you the truth here? Who
Speaker 1: I really think? Would you rather have a team that
Speaker 1: doesn't have any hope or just enough hope that it's
Speaker 1: going to hurt that they're going to disappoint you. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: you have to take the team with hope. That's like
Speaker 1: the like agony of defeat. That misery is part of
Speaker 1: the sports experience, right, If you don't have any chance,
Speaker 1: then why are you even doing this. I do miss
Speaker 1: that when I was a fan, a true fan, that
Speaker 1: you had the highest of highs but the lowest of
Speaker 1: lows I could really hurt. Or when it was great,
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. And when I first went to ESPN,
Speaker 1: so that's nineteen eighty nine, I put my fandom to
Speaker 1: the side. I didn't root for anybody because I didn't
Speaker 1: think it was fair growing up a Browns Bengals fan
Speaker 1: to then say something about the Steelers and then having
Speaker 1: a Steeler fan say, well, he's a Bengals fan, so
Speaker 1: he can't trust what he said. And I would have
Speaker 1: people in Cincinnati say, why don't you say nicer things
Speaker 1: about the Bengals. I said, when they do something, well,
Speaker 1: I will. But I had to put that fandom to
Speaker 1: the side. But I do miss that. I miss that hurt,
Speaker 1: that that where it really affects you. Yeah, Marv, So
Speaker 1: watching the Super Bowl is way more enjoyable when your
Speaker 1: team's not in it, because I could still feel that,
Speaker 1: Oh when Jimmy g overthrows was that Amuel Sanders, I
Speaker 1: think in the Super Bowl and he overthrows him, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, oh gosh, but you had a chance.
Speaker 1: You were at this, you were in the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: like like I missed that like that. Even when the
Speaker 1: Bengals were in the Super Bowl. As much as I
Speaker 1: wanted them to win for the people of Cincinnati, I
Speaker 1: also had to appreciate what I was watching with Aaron Donald,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, Matthew Stafford. Yes, you see, why don't you
Speaker 1: pick a team that you're going to be a fan
Speaker 1: of this year? Like jump on the Bills bandwagon or
Speaker 1: I want you to pick a team to root for
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life today the rest of
Speaker 1: my life. Yes, and you stick and because everyone you're
Speaker 1: you're not a bias guy, You're very objective. No, but
Speaker 1: I can bounce around and just say, like the Lions
Speaker 1: this year, Like I I'm going to root for the
Speaker 1: Lions this year, but I don't want to root from
Speaker 1: next year. See that. I think that's a mistake. You
Speaker 1: should pick a team and say I'm going wire to
Speaker 1: wire and then then it's a real where up and
Speaker 1: downs pain. Yeah, but I don't. I can't do that.
Speaker 1: It'd be so cool if he became a Lions fan.
Speaker 1: How many celebrity fans did they had? They had Eminem
Speaker 1: and you and Jeff and Detroit. But that's about it. Well,
Speaker 1: Eminem was at Hard Knocks. He was at camp the
Speaker 1: episode that I saw last night. Here you go. First
Speaker 1: of all, the beard does not look good on Eminem, right,
Speaker 1: not good. But he shows up and he you know,
Speaker 1: you never know if he's serious or not, because you
Speaker 1: know he's very excited. It's like, hey, the Lions are
Speaker 1: on Hard Knocks, Man, how great is this? And then
Speaker 1: then he's watching all of the cameras he's in like
Speaker 1: their headquarters, their NFL films. He's like, I think I
Speaker 1: just heard somebody say I'm sucks and they go, no,
Speaker 1: nobody said that, Yeah, yeah I think they did. Yes.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep in mind he's not slim shady anymore.
Speaker 1: You know, it's got a bowl of pretzels. He might
Speaker 1: have put on a couple the white T shirts a
Speaker 1: little tight. You get a rap battle with Jarret Gopp
Speaker 1: that was putting it in that never happened. We were
Speaker 1: we were about forty seconds from getting through the first hour.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're sticking salvage and you wore the jacket that
Speaker 1: you stole. I love my jacket. Yeah. Maybe top of
Speaker 1: the hour and we'll talk about that. Todd walked off

Speaker 1: all of the team logos on it. Beat the price. Yeah,
Speaker 1: free beef. One more item is we close that hour? One?
