The points 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.760 spread stay the same, the Eagles getting six giving six 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.080 to the Commanders, and the Bills are getting one and 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:58.040 a half against the Chiefs. Whether for both cities should 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:02.279 be around the same, no snow acted temperatures in the thirties. 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.959 Obviously with the Chiefs game, it'll get a little colder 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.200 than that as the evening progresses. That kickoff is at 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.840 six thirty The Commanders and the Eagles at three Eastern 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.440 eight seven seven three DP show email under sdpat Danpatrick 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.360 dot com twitter handle at DP show pull question for 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.399 hour two and recap hour one if you can, Seaton. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.440 Yeah, our one we put up there. This one was 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:26.880 from Marvin the Super Bowl matchup. 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:27.720 You're rooting for? 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.600 Your options are Bill's Eagles, Bills, Commanders Chiefs, Commander's Chiefs Eagles. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.479 You want to guess who people are rooting for? Commander's Bills. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.600 Commander's Bills right now has fifty seven percent of the vote. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.720 Yeah. You want to know the one that they're least 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:47.240 looking forward to, Chiefs Eagle, Chiefs Eagles. Yeah, what the heck? 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.520 Why am I surprised by that? I don't know. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.000 Those are two great teams, they are, but we want 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.040 something fresh. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:56.920 One of them has a chance to go to win 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:57.720 three in a row. 0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:58.880 I know, I know. 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.640 We'll give you our most must win game of the 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.160 weekend coming up a little bit later on. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.680 We switch Just to be clear that they've all been 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.880 must win games for several weeks now. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.200 This is the most most must must win win even 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:12.960 more than last week. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.959 Yes, yes, yes. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:19.280 There there are coaches or players that this is the 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.640 most must win game of the weekend. It may not 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.120 be the team, it may be the person. So I'll 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:28.040 have that for you coming up, Rick Stroud. We didn't 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.160 think we'd ever talked to Rick Stroud again when Tom 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.800 Brady left he retired, And here he is Rick Stroud, 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.520 the Bucks writer, NFL beat writer for the Tampa Bay Times, 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.120 And here we are. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:40.440 Rick. 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.000 Tell me what happened over the last forty eight hours 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.600 with the all of a sudden object of desire. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.200 Liam Cohen, Dan. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.240 We're the land of runaway brides man. Bill Parcells did 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.840 it twice. Chick Kelly did it once. So keep your 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.959 receipt on the crystal stemware around here. But you know, look, 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.040 Liam Cohen did a great job last year in his 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.840 first season with the Bucks on offense obviously, and so 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.760 they didn't want to leave lose him. And they knew 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.040 that he was had one interview with Jacksonville. Virtually he 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.960 was supposed to go up there on Wednesday. Bucks got 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.200 him to agree to a really a record contract, one 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.560 of the highest paid coordinators in football, something like four 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.240 and a half million dollars a year, but it was 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:28.320 contingent on him not going back to Jacksonville, and they 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.040 thought he was going to come in. There was some 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.800 talk about a zoom call with him and all this. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.560 He didn't come in on Wednesday, and they didn't hear 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.520 from him from about two thirty on Wednesday till about 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:42.640 five o'clock on Thursday. He was zero dark thirty on him, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.520 so I think they got a little suspicious. And finally 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:49.760 he did call Todd Bowles around five o'clock on Thursday 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.880 to let him know that his kid was in fact sick. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.360 He had been with him sometime that day. But oh, 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:57.760 by the way, I'm going to look back into the 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.960 Jacksonville situation, when in fact, I think that deal was 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.960 all but done. So they were they were pretty pretty 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.760 upset in Tampa Bay, as you can imagine, and now 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:07.280 they need. 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:07.840 A new coordinator. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:09.360 Okay. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.080 I know that people have brought up his son went 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.479 to the hospital, but in the court, I mean, this 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.760 just looks messy. Yeah that he maybe his son, you know, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.159 obviously has something going through something. His wife just posted 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.240 something an hour ago. But you still got on a 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:28.840 plane and went to Jacksonville. 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.400 Correct, Absolutely he did, he didn't say he did not 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.440 tell the Bucks he was there. You know, I've talked 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.920 to many of those guys over there. They're just very upset. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:38.200 You know. 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.240 It's just not the way you do business. You didn't 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.680 have to sign the contract per se, and nothing was 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.720 going to, you know, really prevent you from interviewing for 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.880 a head coaching job. You can't block a guy to 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:53.360 do that. But you know, the whole uh interpersonal thing 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.440 that that you know, just kind of flying up there 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.279 without telling people he was gone and then not really 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.080 being you know, fortright. When he did tell Todd Bowles that, 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.280 you know, he's kind of looking back into him it 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.600 at that point, I think he'd already been to Jacksonville. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.880 So the timeline is bad. You know, it's like a 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.960 few good Bucks and we're trying to see check the 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.200 tower logs and see, you know, when he left and 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.520 all that stuff. It's just it's just a mess. And 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.800 in the bottom line is the Bucks will now have 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.440 their fourth offensive coordinator in his many years and for 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.880 Baker Mayfield it might be eight. I'm not sure I've 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.159 lost count, but so it affects them obviously next season. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.360 What's Jacksonville getting. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.719 Well, they're getting a guy that they better anchor down 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.760 because he's only you know, he's been to like five 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.600 different places in the last five years. But he's a 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.920 hell of a play caller, he really is. He did 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.560 a nice job schematically. You know, he runs an offense 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.279 that was similar to what he did in Los Angeles 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.520 with Sean McVay. He never called place till he got 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.719 to Tampa in the NFL. But he's a great teacher. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.680 And these young players, you saw them get better each week. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.120 Bucky Irving, Jalen McMillan, guys that had to step in 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.480 when they lost Mike Evans, when they lost Chris Godwin 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.760 for the season, and you know, he just he gives 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.440 the quarterback answers, you know, and talking to Baker Mayfield. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.279 He had some success with Dave Canalis the year before. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.760 He called him an optimist bully, which is what, you know, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.640 sort of what he needed, right. But from a schematic 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.560 standpoint and play calling, Liam was at a different level. 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.200 He could go to the line of scrimmage, get him 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.200 out of bad place. And you saw what Baker did right, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.240 forty one touchdowns, forty five hundred yards, seventy one percent. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:27.560 I mean, he was he was. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.719 Lights out except for too many interceptions. But you know, 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.880 I just think that they're going to miss his ability 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.039 to teach and develop and really, you know, the schematics 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:38.960 were so good for this football team. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:40.760 Is he a head coach though? 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.920 I don't know, you know, And and the thing about 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.919 that is as great as he was as an offensive coordinator, 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.640 you know, that's a different job. I mean, you know, 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.839 there's gonna be five things a day that you're not 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.560 prepared to have to deal with, you know, anything from 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.440 you know, your girlfriend broke up with you, your mom sick, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.760 whatever it is, and so that's going to take away 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.160 from his game planning. I assume he's going to continue 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.320 to try to call plays. But if you've got Trevor 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.760 Lawrence and you're trying to you know, turn him around, 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.080 you know, I think that he'll he'll find a way 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.080 to protect him. If they could add some players on 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.040 the offensive line, get a run game going, he's going 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.160 to do great things offensively. But you know, that's that's 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.560 that's the job. The job is much different. You're addressing 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.640 the entire team, You're setting the tone for the franchise. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.080 And from what I understand, Dan, he's going to have 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.360 control over who they bring in there to to help 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.080 him with personnel. So this is not just the head 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.280 coaching job, but I think in many ways he's going 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.600 to be more involved in a lot of the player 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.440 acquisitions and things like that. So it's a it's a 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:41.920 big lead. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:43.480 Yeah, that's why. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:45.960 You know, if you say, look, I don't want to 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.760 come in under Trent Bulkey, I get it. So you 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.560 go back, they give you this extension. Then all of 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.040 a sudden they fired Trent Maulke. Why can't you just 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.920 say to Tampa, look, things have changed here. They're letting 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.400 me have total autonomy here. I'd be crazy not to pass, 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.680 you know, to pass up this opportunity. What would the 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.160 Buccaneers have rescinded their offer, Like, would they have moved 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:08.920 on from him? 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.320 I don't know that they would have. I mean, I 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:12.800 think they would have hung in there and let him 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.520 do what he wanted to do. You know, the offer 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.240 was contingent on him not taking the second interview. I mean, 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.040 I think, you know, possession is the biggest thing here, right, 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.640 don't let the guy out of the building. And so 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.560 that was the Bucks intent where it like, we're going 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.120 to make you the highest paid offensive coordinator, but you 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.120 can't take that second interview. So the minute he decided 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.000 to do that, he kind of avoided what was going 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.960 to be his new contract, which he never signed. So 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.240 you know, it was just it was just a game 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.520 of subterfuge. It just it didn't make sense that you 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.640 would kind of sneak around like this. I think that's 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.320 what most people are upset about in the organization, and 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.839 believe me, they're pretty upset about it, but they'll get over. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.560 It's going to make those joint practices with the Jaguars 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.320 really entertaining next next year, next summer. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.600 Rick is always great to talk to you. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:57.640 Good to see it. 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:02.440 Dan Rick Strown, bucking NFL beat writer for Tampa Bay Times, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.880 co author of The Players Coach with Tom Moore, from Bradshaw, Manning, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.800 Brady and Beyond, host of Sports Day Tampa Bay podcast. 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.679 All right, a couple of phone calls in here, got 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.080 our poll question for hour two Seaton. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:18.760 Yeah, well, we had the one. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.440 I didn't know if we were going to go back 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:25.320 to figuring out unlikable teams that had become likable. 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.559 Okay, because right Now you kind of have. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.320 The Eagles in there, who, based on our poll results, 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.120 seem unlikable. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.880 Okay, I don't really know why, though it might be 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:36.440 their fans. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:42.480 Okay, no offense, Maybe some may Yeah. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:42.720 Yeah. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.280 Are the LA Dodgers entering that category or in that 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.640 category with how they are overspending in comparison to the 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:54.640 rest of baseball? The Yankees had that generation ago that's cooled, 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.439 But the Dodgers feel like they're entering that Geez, these 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.480 guys won't give anyone else a chance category? 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.240 Do you care if people don't like you? If I'm 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:05.240 a Dodger fan, I love it. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.880 Yeah, Like you have to embrace this like Yankee fans 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.600 did in a previous generation. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.480 There are dynasties where you just say, you're. 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.760 Not going to like us, deal with it, like, I 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.839 don't think that the Chiefs aren't apologizing for anything, Like, okay, 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:21.400 you don't like. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:27.520 Us, So did the Patriots apologize? No? 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.880 Now you might say, are the Dodgers ruining baseball? Now 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.000 that's a bigger topic. But that's a topic really for 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.600 the commissioner. That's a topic for these owners of what 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.000 kind of sport do you want to run? 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:40.760 Is it. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.559 You can spend all this money, you can defer money. 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.480 You've got all these billions of billions of dollars with 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.439 the ownership group there, you got a pipeline to players 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.960 in Japan. I mean, they're taking advantage of everything that 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.960 they have, all of their assets. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.760 But why wouldn't you. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.079 Now, I may not like it because I want to 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.080 see these other you know, like I'd like for Paul's 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.320 schemes to maybe pitch in a playoff, Gamers or the 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.520 you know, the Reds, you know, to be able to 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.720 be in the postseason. You know, to see Dela Cruz 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.240 on a big stage. I would like to see that, 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.840 But the odds are will see them on a big 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.560 stage in another uniform. I'd like to be able to 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.560 see teams have that opportunity. I mean, the NFL goes 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.120 out of its way to make sure you have parody. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:34.040 They're trying their best. You have salary caps, They change 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.960 the schedule. If you finish in first, your schedule's tougher. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.319 If you finish in last, it's easier. They go out 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:43.720 of their way to keep the fan bases engaged. And 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.280 that's the only thing I worry about because the Dodgers 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:52.960 are the Dodgers over under for next season. This is 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:57.600 the It might be the highest over under win total 0:11:58.559 --> 0:11:59.800 in recent history. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.400 Arbon one hundred and eight and a half Paul one 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.839 oh two and a half, ton won eleven and a half. 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.040 Seaton dang eleven? 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.319 Uh Paul, you said one O two and a half? 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.640 Yuh one O three and a half. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:21.160 Bloop Yes, one O three and a half. And according 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:25.280 to UH DraftKings sports book history, that's the highest over 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.480 under total for a team. 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.080 Yeah, poet, So the Dodgers are frustrating, but they're not 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:34.760 dislikable because they're players. Everyone loves Otani, he's transfixing, he's fun, 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.680 Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts. There's not dislikable people on their roster. 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:43.280 Dave Roberts their manager, right, love their uniforms gorgeous? 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.560 Yeah, yes, don So when do they. 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.000 Become as likable as they may be the new evil empire? 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.040 Or are they already there? And the Yankees are in 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.679 the rearview mirror in the last couple of years. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.040 I think they're a likable empire, like a dictator ish Yeah, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:00.000 I I don't know if you dis I mean you 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.280 you may dislike the method to becoming an empire. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.640 But I mean they bought those rings. 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.840 Yeah yeah, But the same with the Yankees, like go 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:14.240 Yankees wore that a lot? 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:15.959 Yeah they were that one a lot. 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.280 Yeah yeah, Mark, can we stop with the I know 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.760 see it was making a joke buying those rings. No 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.680 one plays for free, like you get you get what 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:26.160 I'm saying. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.920 So nobody plays place for free. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:31.760 I checked that he's right? 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:32.480 Is that okay? 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.960 Like when somebody says, oh, they bought those rings, I 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.480 mean I would, but the Union won't let me. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.880 So I just got to take this money. 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:39.719 Like what does that even mean? 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:40.839 Uh? 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.120 It means you spent more than everybody. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:48.600 Else, so stupid, go ahead, But they did, but you're 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:49.160 supposed to. 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:54.200 Well not everybody has the money. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:55.120 Make more money at me. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:00.520 Yeah, they have a war chest of over thirty billion 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.920 dollars I think. And if you can say to Otani, 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.880 why don't you defer all of this money? 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:07.320 Sure? 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.800 I mean how much does he need? And then you're 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.520 gonna say that to somebody else and somebody else, and 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.600 you're all in it together. You got a chance to win, 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.640 You got to play. You can play in Los Angeles. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:19.040 I don't know. 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.120 They're just taking advantage of what is in front of them. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.960 They're not changing loopholes here. Now you might say the 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:32.560 deferred money might be, but still that's business strategy. When 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.400 the Yankees were spending more money than everybody else, they 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.479 were doing it, and they were making money. 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:39.320 From the Yes network. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.640 They did something nobody else, and then everybody else tried 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.560 to get their own network. The Yankees did a wonderful 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.280 job with that, and whether you liked it or not, 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.840 it was still musty TV and they embraced being the 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:54.640 evil Empire. 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:56.000 Yes time. 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.040 If it's legal, it's legal. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.200 It's like when a quarterback pretends to slide but then 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.440 they reach for that extra yard and they're not quite 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.320 that a bounce yet. Certain quarterbacks in the AFT title. 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.200 No I got it. I'm not sure what that has 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:08.520 to do with God. 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.480 It's very cryptic, Todd, who are you referencing? 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.000 Anything that's legal is legal? 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.240 You're allowed to do this, even though the current president 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.080 of the United States has admitted to certain tax loopholes. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.000 And people do whatever they can do as long as 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:19.960 it's within the law. 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.560 What happened? Where are we going? 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.600 I'm whether it's money or politics or anything whatever. If 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.000 something is legal, take it all the way. You could 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.120 take it all the way to the line, whether you 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.400 are quarterback looking for that extra yard or whatever it is, 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.040 or you could spend your allowed to spend one hundred 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.400 billion dollars on your team, then you go do it 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:37.920 if you haven't. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.600 Okay, yes, yes. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.360 It's like a guy walk out of a store and 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.240 not getting charged for dishes and plates exactly going back. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.080 It's not cheating or stealing, but it's crossed. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.000 That was stealing. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.520 Yeah, that wasn't exactly a loophole that took advantage. That 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.240 was just straight up we forgot to pay for this stuff. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.920 You and your wife and then you you know, screeched 0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:58.400 out of there. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.320 For a moment, we considered going back, and then we 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.480 rationalize there at least I did by these plates are 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:03.480 probably so overpriced. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:04.920 Anyway, we're not getting any bar me. 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.760 You broke the rules. He broke the rules. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.080 Technically take them back and steal it. They gave it, 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.760 but I'd take a break. I just looked over and 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.840 on my monitor, I see Clay Matthews there. 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:18.960 I didn't grab the box and run out of the store, 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.480 and all the lights went on and there was alarms 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:21.920 going off. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:26.680 By the way, Clay Matthews looks like he's about thirty three, frustrating, Yeah, 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:27.440 thirty three. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:29.560 All right, let me take a break. 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.880 We'll talk to Clay Matthews Junior the third and we'll 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:34.320 get phone calls coming up as well. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.400 We're back after this.

Ryan Day, Ohio 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.240 state head coach in an hour from now. The Jags 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.720 they lost their possible head coach, then they got their 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.959 head coach, and Liam Cohen going to the Jacksonville Jaguars 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.960 after saying he wasn't going to go there, then went 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.359 back to Tampa. Then they fired the GM Trent Bulke, 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.000 and then he went back to Jacksonville, and now I 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.640 guess he's agreed in principle to be their new head coach. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.320 So that leaves Cowboys, Raiders, and the Saints. I don't 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.200 know if anybody's looking for somebody who's still in the playoffs. 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.200
