Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We somehow made it to a Friday. Week
Speaker 1: went by very quickly. Our one. Come on in, stay
Speaker 1: a while, and yes it is a meat Friday. In
Speaker 1: case you're wondering, tequila lime, chicken thighs, chips and guaw
Speaker 1: who has it better than we do? No, no, Boddy,
Speaker 1: Oh Fritzie. So sorry you're not here. You could enjoy
Speaker 1: meet Friday via zoom nobody. Can you smell the chicken thighs?
Speaker 1: You have those little hot dogs to the Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be don't even joke about that. Yes, Paul,
Speaker 1: it's funny. Seaton says that because the guy who makes
Speaker 1: the food here was considering making a Fritzie focused meal
Speaker 1: on Friday just to spite him. Wow. Mean spirit is
Speaker 1: the moderator. And this was chat Row. Those on chat
Speaker 1: Row said, hey, why don't you have a Fritzie menu there?
Speaker 1: And I said, no, no, that's mean Spirit and they
Speaker 1: say where he is? Yeah, and I didn't know. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to do that to Todd. We would have
Speaker 1: mountain dew, we'd have the pigs in a blanket. I
Speaker 1: would not do that to you. 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. Say good morning to our
Speaker 1: radio and TV partner Bengals at the Titans, Tomorrow, Niners
Speaker 1: at the Packers, and then Sunday the Rams of the Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: Bills and the Chiefs. Our good buddy Ross Tucker will
Speaker 1: join us a little bit later on this morning. Nick
Speaker 1: Wright from Fox Sports will do a pit stop as well.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of great quarterback rivalries throughout the years.
Speaker 1: You know Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, Steve Young and
Speaker 1: Troy Yakman. You can go back to Terry Bradshaw and
Speaker 1: Kenny Stabler, Bart Star, Johnny Unitas, John Elway against Joe Montana,
Speaker 1: Joe Montana, Phil Simms, Eli Manning, Tom Brady. And then
Speaker 1: you have a rivalry coming up this weekend that could
Speaker 1: be a rivalry that lasts a long time. Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen, and they faced each other before. Josh
Speaker 1: Allen beat Kansas City once this year and despite the win,
Speaker 1: the Bills are probably thinking about revenge because the Chiefs
Speaker 1: ended Buffalo's season in the AFC Title Game last year.
Speaker 1: And Sunday is going to provide Josh Allen the opportunity
Speaker 1: to return the favor. But when you think about these matchups,
Speaker 1: you know, Dan Marino, Dan Marino and Joe Montana, how
Speaker 1: many times do you get that opportunity to face that
Speaker 1: other quarterback? Aaron Rodgers with rivalries, it feels like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, if there's somebody that you match him up with,
Speaker 1: Brett Farve, who would be the quarterback that you'd say
Speaker 1: that was his rival? And I'm trying to think here,
Speaker 1: maybe they're each other's rivals. When you think about it,
Speaker 1: Brett Farve and Aaron Rodgers, that's the rivalry there. You
Speaker 1: win one title each, and I wonder about who has
Speaker 1: the most to gain this uh, you know, this postseason.
Speaker 1: Because if you're thinking about legacy, we I know, we
Speaker 1: throw that word, you know, around a lot. But when
Speaker 1: I think about Aaron Rodgers the legacy, He's been to
Speaker 1: one super Bowl and he won it, but he's only
Speaker 1: been to one and that's a long it's a decade.
Speaker 1: If he were to win another super Bowl, that allows
Speaker 1: him if he wants to get out of Green Bay,
Speaker 1: but it also moves him up and moves him up
Speaker 1: the ladder. And now he's with Peyton Manning or you
Speaker 1: can say John Elway or whoever it might be. But
Speaker 1: you're thinking about legacies. If Jimmy Garoppolo would happen to
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl and he almost had one, Josh
Speaker 1: Allen moving into that category. If Mahomes goes to a
Speaker 1: third straight Super Bowl, wins a second Super Bowl, I
Speaker 1: guess you could say Matthew Stafford, if if he wins
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, he's going to the Hall of Fame, right,
Speaker 1: And you know we never have We're never critical of
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford the way we've been if he were to
Speaker 1: do that. You know, we waited for Clayton Kershaw. He
Speaker 1: was good buddy to win a World Series. Now it
Speaker 1: feels like we've moved on from Clayton Kershaw. Can he
Speaker 1: win the Big Game? But you start to think of,
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow would happen to just
Speaker 1: win this game this weekend, Like if I just looked
Speaker 1: at the games this weekend, Stafford beats Brady head to head, huge,
Speaker 1: Garoppolo winning another game and win a road game and
Speaker 1: beat Aaron Rodgers huge, Because also we're looking at Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo for his next job. He's auditioning for his next job.
Speaker 1: If Joe Burrow beats the number one seed, now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Joe Burrow moves up the list of
Speaker 1: where is he? Top ten quarterback, top eight quarterback, maybe
Speaker 1: even higher than that. But that's a pretty quick ascension.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Ryan Tannehill, if he wins, we expect him
Speaker 1: to win. They're the number one seed. But is he
Speaker 1: going to be responsible for a win? Because usually it's
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's the reason. But you know, if Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 1: were to win that game on his own, you know,
Speaker 1: we might look at him a little bit differently. But
Speaker 1: the Niners, Packers and I started to look at these games,
Speaker 1: and I don't gamble. I am fascinated by the lines though,
Speaker 1: like the Bills at the Chiefs, it's Chiefs by one
Speaker 1: and a half, So basically, who's going to win the game?
Speaker 1: Rams of the Buccaneers. I always say I'd never been
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady, but if I were to bet against him,
Speaker 1: I'd certainly take the Rams this weekend to win out right.
Speaker 1: The Bengals at the Titans. I think the Titans are
Speaker 1: a little bit better than we're giving them credit for.
Speaker 1: And the Bengals have been a great story. The Niners
Speaker 1: I think could win the game in Green Bay. I do.
Speaker 1: I think that they could keep close. It's strange. It's
Speaker 1: one of those we just assume the Packers, Okay, they're
Speaker 1: gonna get everybody back and they're gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: going against Jimmy Garoppolo, and Jimmy Garoppolo is not a
Speaker 1: good fourth quarter quarterback. Is it going to come down
Speaker 1: to that. I just feel like the Niners can hang
Speaker 1: in there with them and the Chiefs at home. I
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs. That's my Super Bowl pick, along with
Speaker 1: the Packers. But the Rams of the Buccaneers, it just
Speaker 1: feels like these aren't the same Buccaneers that we saw
Speaker 1: last year. The defense has really been the difference, I
Speaker 1: think because that defense won the Super Bowl and put
Speaker 1: so much pressure on Patrick Mahomes. But this time around,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't feel like they're formidable or invincible or
Speaker 1: the team to beat. It feels like the Rams are
Speaker 1: coming in there, and the Rams have everything going in
Speaker 1: their favor. But you know, that's the fun part of this.
Speaker 1: There's usually going to be one road team that wins
Speaker 1: this weekend. The question is which road team. Would that
Speaker 1: be I'm thinking it could be. Would be the Rams
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers. But Bills at the Chiefs. There are
Speaker 1: a lot of people who love the Bills, Like the
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna come in there and hand the Chiefs
Speaker 1: the loss. You know, it's just they look so good
Speaker 1: last week, and that's what we get caught up in.
Speaker 1: Do you see them last week? And then you go, yeah,
Speaker 1: but they got to play this week that like, you
Speaker 1: don't just extend that game and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you know it counts against the Chiefs here, Yeah, Paul, Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I'm a Bills fan, I would have wanted to
Speaker 1: play again, like the next night. Let's just get someone

Speaker 1: come from? How are you feeling about Aaron Rodgers? Okay,

Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon, Zach Taylor, Mike vraid Ball, Taga Breath. Least

Speaker 1: I know know anyway, has that to do with it.
Speaker 1: But boy, you're you're a rascal today A little bit,
Speaker 1: A little bit. I think Todd's hungry. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: a meat Friday. Yeah, energy man. I also had a
Speaker 1: too soon pole question that you got quarantine angers what
Speaker 1: you have today? I kind of do we kind of
Speaker 1: cooked up in here? Yeah? Do you want to too
Speaker 1: soon the pole question? Yeah? Sure, Okay. Meat Loaf passed away.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we had him in studio. He was wonderful, that's
Speaker 1: the way, at the age of seventy four. So I
Speaker 1: ask you more underrated meat Loaf, the food, meat Loaf,
Speaker 1: the singer. Let me sleep on it, or I won't
Speaker 1: do that, meaning vote on this pole question. The guy
Speaker 1: just passed away. We shouldn't be doing something quoting his song, right,
Speaker 1: let me sleep on it. Oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no, no no no no. You don't get
Speaker 1: to sing. I don't. If we're gonna honor him, you
Speaker 1: don't sing. That's a good point. Yeah, that's not fair.
Speaker 1: So when you think about that, I thought that was
Speaker 1: kind of clever. Those are too soon patting myself on
Speaker 1: the back here, I I love meat Loaf the performer,
Speaker 1: oh more than the food. Oh yeah, thank you. You're
Speaker 1: for the Midwest exactly. I hated meat loaf. It's a staple,
Speaker 1: I know, That's why I hate it. It was like, hey,
Speaker 1: do you have that or go gets a blowny sandwich.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll eat meat loaf. I'm scarred from my
Speaker 1: child potatoes some green beans. Dude, what meat loaf overrated?
Speaker 1: We can't roll with you, man, Well good luck, but
Speaker 1: I know I really appreciated meat You know that that
Speaker 1: Bat out of Hell that came out in what nineteen
Speaker 1: seventies seven? Maybe it sold sixty million. I think sixty
Speaker 1: million copies. Do the math. It feels like one out
Speaker 1: of every five people had that album Bat out of Hell.
Speaker 1: And you know, he was really he was a big guy,
Speaker 1: but he was a you know, a fun, cuddly guy,
Speaker 1: and he was a great character on stage. And his
Speaker 1: high school football coach, I think, gave him the nickname
Speaker 1: meat Loaf, and uh, he kept that name, but he
Speaker 1: would I think he played a little bit of college football.
Speaker 1: But we had him in studio a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and he had some health issues back then, but you know,
Speaker 1: it was it was nice to have him in Fight Club.
Speaker 1: Has an unbelievable role in Fight Club. Yeah he's great, great,
Speaker 1: but yeah meat loaf passing away. Todd's the one who's
Speaker 1: being insensitive. Yes you are. And he had one other
Speaker 1: tweets last night, which I thought was pretty clever from
Speaker 1: Dead Charlie, who asks who was more likely to survive
Speaker 1: their upcoming road trip Frank Vogel, Seaton or Marka's rest
Speaker 1: stop bathrooms got thrown in down. I'm not on that trip,
Speaker 1: so I don't know why c would be an option.
Speaker 1: Frank Vogel or Seaton? Who was more likely to survive
Speaker 1: the upcoming road trip? Why you wasted all your stuff
Speaker 1: in the first twelve minute it to the show. I
Speaker 1: should have saved that ye a little later on? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta learn. I gotta learn how to stretch it
Speaker 1: out of low down. We got three hours. I'm very
Speaker 1: hyper for some reason. It's Friday. I'm like, I'm feeling
Speaker 1: a little better. I don't know what's going on. I'm
Speaker 1: not even getting any of the good food that you
Speaker 1: guys are going to be eating. Three guests already home
Speaker 1: for the weekend. Fritzie is unprecedented. Mit I still sound
Speaker 1: flammy like that? No, not like it did yesterday in
Speaker 1: the day before, I am a little concerned, though didn't
Speaker 1: sound flammy. Yeah, he's wire to wire flamy. Yeah. You know.
Speaker 1: I was googling all night last night because I looked
Speaker 1: at my wrists and my upper part of my thighs
Speaker 1: and I have like some like spots, and so I
Speaker 1: was like, what the heck is that all about? So
Speaker 1: I guess with if you test positive for COVID, there's
Speaker 1: a chance you can get like these what they call
Speaker 1: COVID spots. So that's got me freaked out. Now, if
Speaker 1: I gotta go to a dermat child just or something.
Speaker 1: They're not big or itchy or pussy or athing like that,
Speaker 1: but I have like on my forearms and my legs,
Speaker 1: like there's these pink spots, and I'm not why don't
Speaker 1: hold it on your pants? Let me see, You've gotta
Speaker 1: put on pants first. I was I'm taking a shower
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what's going on here? And like I'm googling,
Speaker 1: like what is that related to COVID? You can get
Speaker 1: like spots on your but I don't know pink spots. Okay, anyway, good,
Speaker 1: I'm good now, Okay, you know I like to share
Speaker 1: things with you guys. It's not gross or everything, but
Speaker 1: there I know, but we've spots where there wasn't a
Speaker 1: week ago. We don't. We don't. It's always too much information?
Speaker 1: Is it too much? Yeah? Just a little too much.
Speaker 1: I thought I had, like the mumps or the measles
Speaker 1: and time. I can you get that in like twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two? Yes? One more pole question? Does Todd do
Speaker 1: more for the show when he's at home or when
Speaker 1: he's here? Uh? How about we take a break on now?
Speaker 1: I think I might be more productive the last year.
Speaker 1: Is that is that's a worthwhile question? No? Maybe not. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: we're glad that you're on the road to recovery time.
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. I still have a little bit
Speaker 1: of a thing. But am I right? I have so
Speaker 1: many people who want to talk about Seaton's road trip here,
Speaker 1: all the subjections we got, But I want people to
Speaker 1: understand once we come up with that, and it's probably
Speaker 1: going to be over the next couple of days, maybe
Speaker 1: the next forty eight hours will have the route that
Speaker 1: Seaton's going to take to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But understand this, if you're in Florida, Seaton's not going
Speaker 1: to Florida, and if you're in Maine, he's not going
Speaker 1: to Maine. He's got to kind of have a straight
Speaker 1: line from Connecticut to Los Angeles. I'm hearing from you know, Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 1: I would love to get up there, but man, is
Speaker 1: that it's a little out of the way, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean I want to go there. I love that city.
Speaker 1: It's great, yes, but it's just this trip, it's probably
Speaker 1: not going to happen. You have to have kind of
Speaker 1: a straight line ish to get there. He has to
Speaker 1: start on a Saturday and get there on a Saturday. Well,
Speaker 1: more of like a like Satan Louis Today verse swing
Speaker 1: kind of thing you're leaning towards. Maybe maybe in Nashville
Speaker 1: somehow in there. Okay, can we get up to like
Speaker 1: a seat rapids perhaps these are the things that are
Speaker 1: all in play right now. And then there's a stop
Speaker 1: in Phoenix. Definitely happening. Yeah, okay, all right, so we're
Speaker 1: kind of workshopping there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really it's
Speaker 1: starting to take shape. Here. We'll talk to our good
Speaker 1: buddy Ross Tucker, who has the most to gain of
Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks this weekend, Who has the most to
Speaker 1: lose of all the quarterbacks. We'll talk to Ross. He
Speaker 1: will join us and Nick Wright will join us. Coming

Speaker 1: Of the players in the playoffs right now seton you
Speaker 1: look like you're pondering the question, so, wait, what are
Speaker 1: we doing in this segment, not this segment hall of
Speaker 1: Famer or not hall of Famer? And what does that mean?
Speaker 1: How to explain that to me? That if Paulie's going
Speaker 1: to say Derrick Henry hall of Famer, not and we say,
Speaker 1: if that's the person we think is a Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer or not a Hall of Famer, Yes, that's how
Speaker 1: that is. I couldn't dumbed it down anymore more than that,
Speaker 1: and you still had to explain it to see. So
Speaker 1: you're either a Hall of Famer or not a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. Okay, you got it? I think so. Mixed
Speaker 1: reviews on Fritzie's opening segment. Am I the only one
Speaker 1: who loves Fritzie's poll questions the entertainment is endless? Uh?
Speaker 1: Somebody said, Todd is core a mean? Said of Quarantine
Speaker 1: on Meet Friday? Uh? Man, I thought Friday Fritzie was bad.
Speaker 1: Friday Quarantine Fritzie is a lot worse. So some mixed
Speaker 1: reviews there Todd, it's not bad. We could live with that,
Speaker 1: all right. Good, he's our good buddy. Ross Tucker, former
Speaker 1: NFL offensive lineman. Great appearance last week. By the way,
Speaker 1: Ross will be handling the AFC title game duties, duties. Uh,
Speaker 1: that'll be at Arrowhead. Well, that's not the AFC title game, Fritzie,
Speaker 1: it's the title game. Oh yes, Oh that's a COVID
Speaker 1: related mistake that I could blame it on. Wait, you're
Speaker 1: blaming it on COVID. I think I may have to
Speaker 1: have you had COVID for a decade. I think it
Speaker 1: would be the NFC Divisional Playoffs. It's the AC it's
Speaker 1: you even screwed that up. It's not the NFC. He's
Speaker 1: covering the Bills and the Chiefs. I need a nap
Speaker 1: or something. It's the AFC Divisional playoff them. Why I
Speaker 1: put title game there? Yes, Ross will be Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: bring in Ross Tucker clean up the mess here if
Speaker 1: you can. Ross, you're going to be covering the Chiefs
Speaker 1: Bills in Arrowhead this weekend. Right, No, I'm not. That's
Speaker 1: that's what makes this even better. I'm in the I'm
Speaker 1: in the booth in Tampa. I got the Rams in
Speaker 1: the bucks. It's the NFC Divisional round about that twice.
Speaker 1: I emailed him three times. I even told him that
Speaker 1: the story that I'm I'm in the booth and Mike
Speaker 1: Golick as seniors on the sideline, which is so cool
Speaker 1: for me, Dan, because I grew up outside of Philly
Speaker 1: and literally when Golick was playing for the Eagles, they
Speaker 1: came to Cookstown University and did like a charity basketball
Speaker 1: game or something. So I was in fifth grade, it's
Speaker 1: like nineteen ninety. I get there super early with my
Speaker 1: buddy and I don't know who was handling it. It It
Speaker 1: was Clyde Simmons, Mike Golick, Andre Waters and whoever their
Speaker 1: handler was looked at me and my buddy and said, hey,
Speaker 1: we need ball boys. You guys want to be our
Speaker 1: ball boys. We were like, heck yeah, So we were
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Meanwhile, they started to get so
Speaker 1: tired during the game playing against these teachers. They actually
Speaker 1: put us in the game and I drained two shots
Speaker 1: in front of like five thousand people. So anyway, long story,
Speaker 1: but I got Golick's autograph. He was awesome that day.
Speaker 1: I was eleven years old. And now I'll be part
Speaker 1: of a broadcast with him, even though Fritzie got it
Speaker 1: wrong three different ways. I'll be part of a broadcast
Speaker 1: with him on Sunday. Okay, that's a nice story, but
Speaker 1: let me go back to Todd. You couldn't have lifted
Speaker 1: any more than you did. It's the NFC, it's not
Speaker 1: a title game, and I think I've been I think
Speaker 1: I've been set up to my credits. I have an
Speaker 1: email that I foted to the guys had something very
Speaker 1: different than when you just read kelping was printed from
Speaker 1: an old one sheet email something. Okay, I'm very upset
Speaker 1: actually about this because I, yeah, I have physical evidence
Speaker 1: to show what I sent was actually Buck's divisional playoffs.
Speaker 1: By the way, Daniel, you also threw me a loop
Speaker 1: at the start of the segment because you came back
Speaker 1: from break and you said Hall of Famer or not
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. I was like, oh man, I
Speaker 1: got very excited, and obviously not as a player. I
Speaker 1: thought you made like Hall of Fame guests or not
Speaker 1: all of Fame media guy, Like, I got very excited
Speaker 1: that I realized it was not actually about me. Well,
Speaker 1: you had a great appearance last week when you mentioned
Speaker 1: that you basically a urinated during every game late in
Speaker 1: the game, that you'd sit on a towel, and what
Speaker 1: was the fallout from your urination story last week, well
Speaker 1: one piece of First of all, people loved it. I
Speaker 1: had several of my buddies around here in Pennsylvania text
Speaker 1: me like, ah, you pee your pants ha ha, Like
Speaker 1: you know, ha ha ha. But Dan, Monday night, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm on the sideline for Rams Cardinals, and I had
Speaker 1: a back surgery in Buffalo, so so people know, the
Speaker 1: worst thing about being a sideline reporter is just standing
Speaker 1: there for four hours, like it's terrible for your back.
Speaker 1: So during one of the TV timeouts, I sit down
Speaker 1: on like these luxury boxes the Rams have where you
Speaker 1: can't actually see the field. It's like below field level.
Speaker 1: I don't know who pays for these things, but I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there by the way Paul George and Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 1: are there. An equipment guy with all the NFL stuff
Speaker 1: on the Cardinal sideline comes over to me Dan with
Speaker 1: one of those gatorade towels and he hands it to me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm good, Like I do something wrong. He's like, no,
Speaker 1: I saw you on Dan Patrick this week. I didn't
Speaker 1: know if you needed this or not. I was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm good. I don't hydrate as much as I did
Speaker 1: when I was a player. But literally one of the
Speaker 1: Cardinals equipment guys came over to me with the gatorade
Speaker 1: towel because they heard me with you last week. That's great,
Speaker 1: we're talking to Ross Tucker. I still think he's working
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Buccaneers coming up this weekend in Tampa.
Speaker 1: Loudest stadium to you is where so when I played,
Speaker 1: it was to me it was the RCA Dome. In
Speaker 1: terms of indoor, that place was so loud. I guess
Speaker 1: maybe they might have been pumping in noise. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but that place you couldn't even hear yourself think, So
Speaker 1: that's the The loudest outdoor place was Arrowhead for sure.
Speaker 1: Now Seattle's very loud out too, but Arrowhead. And this
Speaker 1: is actually something Dan, I've never quite understood. You know
Speaker 1: how there's been so many new stadiums recently, you know,
Speaker 1: the Giant Scout one and obviously San Francisco got one.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why these franchises don't mimic the acoustics
Speaker 1: of Seattle or Kansas City. It's not like the Pacific
Speaker 1: Northwest or the Midwest. People are louder than the Northeast
Speaker 1: people or whatever. I think they're so concerned with maximizing
Speaker 1: revenue and club space and suites, they they don't mimic
Speaker 1: the same acoustics. That's a big advantage, man. It's honestly, Dan,
Speaker 1: if the Bills were playing the Chiefs in Buffalo, I
Speaker 1: would pick the Bills because that place was loud Saturday night.
Speaker 1: I was there. Those people were going crazy. But it's
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Takes away the offense, his ability to
Speaker 1: have the snap count advantage. They'll have to go silent,
Speaker 1: So I lean Kansas. It makes a big difference. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was wondering about that too, that there are certain
Speaker 1: stadiums that there is a true and that Seattle Stadium,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's loud and that almost hurts your ears.
Speaker 1: I remember being in the RCA Dome, but I was
Speaker 1: there for the Super Bowl, so it was a different
Speaker 1: ambiance there. I've been to Lambeau that that's a great field,
Speaker 1: but that's a home field advantage for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 1: There you have the game with the Rams going into Tampa,
Speaker 1: and I it feels like this is the Rams game
Speaker 1: for the taking. With the offensive line not healthy, with
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. You don't have Godwin in there, you don't
Speaker 1: have Antonio Brown, but it's hard to bet against Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Who do you think wins this game? Totally agree with
Speaker 1: everything you just said. The Rams are a healthier team.
Speaker 1: They've got Cam Akers back six months after his achilles tear,
Speaker 1: which is incredible. He looked good Monday night. They won
Speaker 1: the battle up front against the Cardinals both sides the ball,
Speaker 1: and you're right, I mean Jensen's limping around. I personally
Speaker 1: don't think Tristan Worf is gonna be able to play,
Speaker 1: and even his backup Josh Wells has a quad injury.
Speaker 1: Ryan Carrigan got two sacks on them last week. Now
Speaker 1: Von Miller, who's got six sacks in his last five games.
Speaker 1: This game is there for the Rams taking. This is
Speaker 1: a game that they should win. But honestly, Dan, I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a close game. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a field goal game in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: And I can't verbally do it, like I can't say
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's gonna beat Tom Brady in a close playoff
Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter. I will believe it when
Speaker 1: I see it. He's more likely to make a critical error,
Speaker 1: Brady's more likely to get the game winning points. So
Speaker 1: I'll lean Brady there. But I do think Stafford probably
Speaker 1: has the most to gain of any quarterback this weekend.
Speaker 1: You know, we would feel a lot differently about Matthew
Speaker 1: Stafford if he gets the Rams to a conference championship game,
Speaker 1: if he wins two playoff games, if he beats Tom
Speaker 1: Brady on the road in the playoff game, I think
Speaker 1: he has probably more to gain than anybody else this weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was my next question, because we know who has
Speaker 1: the most to lose, and it feels like that's Aaron Rodgers. Yes,
Speaker 1: would you say that fair? No question, it's Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: And I'll go a step further, it's the Green Bay
Speaker 1: Packers organization. If they lose, I don't see anyway that
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers goes back there. I think he's just gonna
Speaker 1: think it's just not gonna happen for me here. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna move on. If they go to the super Bowl
Speaker 1: or win it, I think there's a much greater likelihood
Speaker 1: that Rogers comes back. I think this game tomorrow night
Speaker 1: is that important for the Packers franchise. And have the
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo situation where it feels like he's auditioning for
Speaker 1: his next job. A win at Lambo would be huge
Speaker 1: for him. I mentioned that Joe Burrow if they would
Speaker 1: beat the Titans, just elevating him in his status as
Speaker 1: a top ten, top eight quarterback in the NFL. Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehill's probably not going to get any credit if they
Speaker 1: win that game, right, Probably not? Now, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 1: I mean, they can get to the conference championship, Tannehill.
Speaker 1: I think at this point probably has to get to
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. And I would say the Titans, they
Speaker 1: are they might be the quietest, least respected number one
Speaker 1: seed I can remember in a long time. And I
Speaker 1: said this on Twitter at Ross Tucker NFL a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I think they're one of the worst
Speaker 1: number one seeds we've seen. I mean, you look at
Speaker 1: the point spread, you look at what the Vegas folks
Speaker 1: would say, they're one of the worst number one seeds
Speaker 1: we've seen a long time. But guess what, they win
Speaker 1: two home games, They're going to the super Bowl. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ross Tucker, host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, the
Speaker 1: color analyst in the booth for the Rams Buccaneers with
Speaker 1: Dave Pash and Mike Goldick Senior coming up Sunday on
Speaker 1: Westwood One. How did we do with that? Good? That
Speaker 1: was correct? Yes? And by the way, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this, Dan, the Bucks might have the
Speaker 1: best press box food in the NFL. They have, they
Speaker 1: have multiple carving stations. They serve bananas foster at halftime.
Speaker 1: So I mentioned how important Saturday Night is for the
Speaker 1: Packers organization. The Bucks organization has the opportunity to end
Speaker 1: the year number one in the Ross Tucker press Box
Speaker 1: Food Power rankings, which is probably as significant as anything
Speaker 1: that will happen this weekend. Wow, that's a bold statement there, huge, huge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the road team that has the best chance to win
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills. I think it's the Bills. I think
Speaker 1: they might be the best team right now. I mean
Speaker 1: their defense is playing lights out. Josh Allen is incredible.
Speaker 1: You know, I think we all know what they did
Speaker 1: Saturday night, Dan. They did that against Bill Belichick. I mean,
Speaker 1: they had a perfect game against a Bill Belichick coached defense.
Speaker 1: Seven touchdowns and a kneel down. It's incredibly impressive. That said,
Speaker 1: even if they win this game, they still need to
Speaker 1: win one more likely at Tennessee to get to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl, which I think they need to do to
Speaker 1: kind of take that next step. But I think the
Speaker 1: Bills have a great chance to when that game is
Speaker 1: going to be incredible. Look, I'm loving the Rams Bucks
Speaker 1: game that I'm gonna be calling, but I really do
Speaker 1: think Bill's Chiefs is the game of the weekend because
Speaker 1: I think more than any other game, I do believe
Speaker 1: the winner of Bill's Chiefs are going to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Sorry Titans fans, you can be mad at me again,
Speaker 1: but I think winner of Bill's Chiefs is going to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I'm so so curious since you did
Speaker 1: play a offensive line and you also played center for
Speaker 1: a little while the last seconds of the Cowboys game
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers, and the role that the
Speaker 1: center plays on that play, where do you stand on
Speaker 1: the Cowboys trying to pull that off and then spotting
Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, so, first of all, I understand the
Speaker 1: logic of what they were trying to do. You know,
Speaker 1: they wanted to get it dan so that they could
Speaker 1: throw a strike into the end zone as opposed to
Speaker 1: a lob right, as opposed to a hail Mary. They
Speaker 1: wanted to get close enough, sort of like that fourth
Speaker 1: and twenty one touchdown pass Justin Herbert threw in Week
Speaker 1: eighteen against the Raiders. They wanted Dad to be able
Speaker 1: to put a line drive into the end zone. Gives
Speaker 1: them more of a chance. So I get that. We
Speaker 1: were always taught in those situations. It's sixteen seconds, so
Speaker 1: whether it's enough time the spike or enough time for
Speaker 1: a fast field goal. When it's fourth down, you don't
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to spike it. You got to run
Speaker 1: on the field. Sixteen seconds is the number we were
Speaker 1: always given. Mike McCarthy says it was thirteen seconds. The
Speaker 1: problem I have with what Mike McCarthy said is he
Speaker 1: said we practiced it every week. Go back and watch
Speaker 1: the tape. Noah Brown, the receiver just kind of standing around.
Speaker 1: What you do is you have two choices, right you
Speaker 1: personally hand the ball to the umpire, or you hand
Speaker 1: the ball to the center who puts it down so
Speaker 1: everybody knows where to line up, and then the umpire
Speaker 1: has to touch it release it so you can snap
Speaker 1: it real quick. They really didn't do either one of those.
Speaker 1: To me, The problem with them cutting it so close,
Speaker 1: they didn't allow for any variables. I mean, what if
Speaker 1: one of the d lineman accidentally kicked the ball London Fletcher,
Speaker 1: you do that all the time, you know it takes
Speaker 1: a couple of seconds off, or what if they were
Speaker 1: smart enough to lay on top of Dack for a
Speaker 1: second or two. There's just a million things that could
Speaker 1: go wrong like it did to not be able to
Speaker 1: get the ball off. I thought they cut it way
Speaker 1: too close. Yeah, I don't think they practiced that every week,
Speaker 1: or if they do, they didn't practice it correctly because
Speaker 1: they the margin of error was so so small and
Speaker 1: you can't leave you kind of exposed yourself as to this.
Speaker 1: The clock could run out on display instead of saying
Speaker 1: to Dak, only get X number of yards if you're
Speaker 1: going to do it. Because they had two plays called,
Speaker 1: they had a pass play and then I think Dak
Speaker 1: changed at the line of scrimmage and then took off. Well,
Speaker 1: they're letting you run for a reason because you have
Speaker 1: no timeouts and the clock is running. That's what I
Speaker 1: didn't understand. You have to have a clock in your
Speaker 1: head that says I have X number of yards X
Speaker 1: number of seconds. Now I need to get down and
Speaker 1: I just there's no way they practiced that play every week.
Speaker 1: And you know what, Dan, my bigger issue, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, was after the game both McCarthy and
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott complained about the officials. Now, I know Dak
Speaker 1: came out and apologize for saying good for the fans
Speaker 1: for throwing stuff at the refs, which by the way,
Speaker 1: was a good move by Dak, but they still both
Speaker 1: complained about the refs. And I think the older I get,
Speaker 1: the more I realize these teams seem to be a
Speaker 1: reflection of ownership, like the lack of accountability and responsibility.
Speaker 1: McCarthy says, I thought they would let him play a
Speaker 1: little bit more. What play is he talking about When
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory just tackles the old lineman for no reason,
Speaker 1: when a Diggi Zua pulls down Alex Mack when Gallimore
Speaker 1: had his hands up, and like, they were all legitimate penalties, Dan,
Speaker 1: most of them were pre street snap. They were all
Speaker 1: legit penalties. So rather than after the game saying we
Speaker 1: need to do better with the penalties, there's too many,
Speaker 1: they complained about the refs, So them passing the Buck
Speaker 1: rather than showing the accountability and response ability. It's why
Speaker 1: they have so many penalties in the first place. They're
Speaker 1: not disciplined. They don't take accountability for their actions. Instead
Speaker 1: they blame others. And that's why the Cowboys, I feel like,
Speaker 1: are the same team every year. Thank you, Ross. We'll
Speaker 1: be listening this weekend The Bucks with Dave Pash and
Speaker 1: Mike Golick Ram's Buccaneers on Westwood One and also you

Speaker 1: February seconds, Mercedes Benz Vans Jesse and Los Angeles leads
Speaker 1: us off this morning. Good morning, Jesse, welcome back. What
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Heyde hey, bun hey about
Speaker 1: happy meat and pop Tippy Friday? A couple of things
Speaker 1: on Seaton's road trip. I only have one recommendation for food,
Speaker 1: and that's after Seaton stops in Redlands and gets baked
Speaker 1: with his own O'Connor push, he'll probably be one to eat.
Speaker 1: And now here in Culbra City, near the studios, there's
Speaker 1: a hole in the wall breakfast burrito spot called Cherry's Market.
Speaker 1: If you guys are Seaton, want me to meet you
Speaker 1: at the band's final stop, I can. I'll be happy
Speaker 1: for here somefore you buy what I'm really about. It's
Speaker 1: my concern for the audience as well, be in on
Speaker 1: this trip. Does this mean that Seaton won't be working
Speaker 1: that whole week? Because if so, we're going to get
Speaker 1: a lot of exposure to Fritzy Friday. It's a todd
Speaker 1: and sighting today's examples, I'm not sure Dan Nations ready
Speaker 1: for that for a whole week. All right, Well, I
Speaker 1: appreciate your concern Jesse, thank you. We have an I
Speaker 1: team report, we go to the newsroom, or an I
Speaker 1: team investigation. The motto of our news team is if
Speaker 1: good journalism is wrong, well then we don't want to
Speaker 1: be right. Let's go to the news room. Polly Dan,
Speaker 1: we had the popular Ross Tucker on last segment. When
Speaker 1: you introduced him, you said he was calling the AFC
Speaker 1: title game at Arrowhead this weekend, which he most definitely
Speaker 1: is not doing. Hell yeah, he's not at Arrowhead and
Speaker 1: it's not the AFC title game, right, and he won't
Speaker 1: be there at alldown. So we thought that Todd what
Speaker 1: had improper prep on the prep sheet. It's the one
Speaker 1: sheet they call it, that is given to you every morning.
Speaker 1: And at first, naturally we blame Todd because it's both
Speaker 1: fun and tradition. Yeah. Well, we did a deep dive
Speaker 1: here and it appears that Fritzie did correctly send the
Speaker 1: one sheet the brgs the back room guys yesterday check
Speaker 1: twenty two. So I mean he was well ahead of
Speaker 1: the game on this one. And what unfortunately one of
Speaker 1: the back room guys searched for that sheet this morning, yeah,
Speaker 1: and found that Ross Tucker was on the show three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six days ago, almost the same exact
Speaker 1: date we had ross on and found the one sheet
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty one and gave that to you. Fritzie
Speaker 1: has been exonerated. Okay, So it's Marvin's fault, not Todd's fault.
Speaker 1: Marvin printed the wrong one sheet, and what should have
Speaker 1: tipped him off is that the question first question on
Speaker 1: the one sheet was is Philip Rivers definitely a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer? Which I don't know if it's a hot
Speaker 1: topic today, Yeah, I don't know if it was a
Speaker 1: hot topic last year, three hundred and sixty six days ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, Todd, I'm sorry. I will say though
Speaker 1: that I should have resented I guess this morning the
Speaker 1: one that I sent to Paul because I sent it yesterday,
Speaker 1: and maybe that could have avoided any kind of issue.
Speaker 1: But the email that you got was a year old
Speaker 1: with a year old questions and nection't have been on
Speaker 1: your desk. All right, Zach and Iowa, Hi, Zach? What's
Speaker 1: on your minds? Two things? So first, Paulie, if you're
Speaker 1: trying to get out to Iowa City with your daughter,
Speaker 1: watch Caitlin Carter just flying the Cedar rapids. But in
Speaker 1: all honestly, Carver, it sucks. I just go to the
Speaker 1: Women's Big Ten Tournament in Indy. You'll have way more
Speaker 1: fun over there. Second Seaton. I'm trying to map this out,
Speaker 1: but I think you could get to Ames, Iowa Tuesday
Speaker 1: night Cyclones versus Kansas. I'm not going to find a
Speaker 1: better environment in the Big twelve. A lot of hatred
Speaker 1: for those people down south. And if you make it happen,
Speaker 1: I bet we can find some passes into the suites.
Speaker 1: Four tickets, mid core, eight rows up. Let us know
Speaker 1: all right, Zach will put you on hold there, Marvin
Speaker 1: will take your information. Got a lot of invites here,
Speaker 1: seton That sounds awesome. Yeah, Mike and Main, Hey Mike,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Mark? Turn Mike turned the radio down? Hey, okay,
Speaker 1: now now turn it all the way down. Mike. Oh, hello,
Speaker 1: hello again. And I had to say goodbye to it.
Speaker 1: You gotta have your radio down, Mike. In Atlanta, Mike,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hi? Guys, I've drive up. Actually
Speaker 1: I'm delivering a dog from Austin, Texas to Greenville, Spartansburg,
Speaker 1: and I'm just going to Atlanta, right now, I've been
Speaker 1: up in your area eleven times since June, and I've
Speaker 1: been to LA nine times. Like I said, I deliver
Speaker 1: cars and dogs. There's really only two safe ways to
Speaker 1: go from your area to LA at this time of
Speaker 1: the year, and one of them, and one of them
Speaker 1: is to go over the Tapandee Bridge, which is a
Speaker 1: Mario Cuomo bridge, down to Knoxville. And then you have
Speaker 1: a choice. You can go over to h from Knoxville
Speaker 1: to all the way over to Dallas, come down to Austin,
Speaker 1: go through San Antonio and overtake ten Intoon and Phoenix.
Speaker 1: Or when you get to Knoxville, you can head towards
Speaker 1: Chattanooga and go all the way down into Louisiana and
Speaker 1: go all the way through Houston, San Antonio, Tucson and
Speaker 1: Phoenix and Paulie, I've got one real quick thing. Do
Speaker 1: you know where Iliaplos, Illinois? Is? Absolutely? Absolutely central South Illinois.
Speaker 1: It's a geographical center of Illinois. And you and I
Speaker 1: have a whole lot to talk about. Sometime I was
Speaker 1: a limousine driver. No, no, we can't, Mike, I'm running
Speaker 1: out of time here. I know I appreciate that. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Michael as all. Yeah, I love too. That. By the way,
Speaker 1: the Tappanzee Bridge right to Knoxville. Yeah, that's it's a
Speaker 1: little that's a straight shot. Take the Tapenzie to Knoxville,
Speaker 1: right to Knoxville, and don't stop in between. Oh it's
Speaker 1: a Friday, My gosh. Nick Wright is going to join us.
