This is really an incredible, 0:01:03.780 --> 0:01:07.419 one of the great comebacks of all time. And he 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.970 is here after the surgery. It's kind of a Willis 0:01:11.050 --> 0:01:14.190 Reed coming out of the locker room in 1970, leading 0:01:14.330 --> 0:01:18.789 the Knicks to a title. Willis Reed only scored four 0:01:18.870 --> 0:01:22.110 points in that game, but still came out of the 0:01:22.150 --> 0:01:25.479 tunnel and, oh my goodness, Didn't think he would make it. 0:01:25.510 --> 0:01:29.910 But Todd, after surgery, life-threatening surgery, is here today. Dylan 0:01:29.950 --> 0:01:32.089 in the back row. Marv up front with Paul Ears 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.240 truly and the backroom guys as well. All right, Dylan. 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.580 Well, I got bad news for you, Dan. According to 72% 0:01:39.580 --> 0:01:42.220 of people, they think Todd just had a procedure. 0:01:42.459 --> 0:01:43.360 Oh, yeah. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.380 I don't know. He put him under. When there's an 0:01:46.580 --> 0:01:49.490 anesthesia involved, Todd actually thought that was the name of 0:01:49.510 --> 0:01:49.930 the nurse. 0:01:49.950 --> 0:01:51.050 Right. 0:01:52.260 --> 0:01:54.420 Wait, is your last name Estesia? 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:55.860 I thought it was Annabelle Estesia. 0:01:55.940 --> 0:01:57.680 Anna for short. Ooh, Anna Estesia. 0:01:57.860 --> 0:02:03.180 Hi, Anna. How are you? Todd did Google the nurse 0:02:03.340 --> 0:02:05.200 who took care of him, by the way. I just 0:02:05.220 --> 0:02:07.480 wanted to say thank you for, you know, because I 0:02:07.500 --> 0:02:08.060 was nervous. 0:02:08.150 --> 0:02:08.889 Of course. 0:02:08.910 --> 0:02:11.130 You didn't want to thank the doctor who actually did 0:02:11.190 --> 0:02:12.110 the surgery on you. 0:02:12.770 --> 0:02:14.310 Yeah, he's just there doing his part. 0:02:14.410 --> 0:02:15.010 Yes, Paul. 0:02:15.250 --> 0:02:17.650 Todd's going to consider a malpractice lawsuit just to talk 0:02:17.669 --> 0:02:18.090 to her again. 0:02:19.430 --> 0:02:20.150 What do we have, Dylan? 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.100 Do you think that's the first Google of a nurse ever? 0:02:25.380 --> 0:02:27.450 Because I'm sure doctors get Googled all the time. That 0:02:27.610 --> 0:02:29.590 genuinely might be the first instance. 0:02:31.090 --> 0:02:35.750 Not by Todd, I don't think. By someone else. There 0:02:35.790 --> 0:02:38.359 was an assistant. She wasn't a nurse, but she worked 0:02:38.419 --> 0:02:44.120 with the doctor who gave me the replacement knee. And 0:02:46.180 --> 0:02:47.700 when she was in the room, you knew she was 0:02:47.740 --> 0:02:49.850 in the room. But I remember when she was taking 0:02:49.889 --> 0:02:54.200 out my surgery, she goes, I love doing this. She's 0:02:54.260 --> 0:02:58.600 taking out the stitches. I'm like, oh, all right. You 0:02:58.660 --> 0:02:59.560 love doing this. 0:03:00.300 --> 0:03:01.000 All right. 0:03:01.020 --> 0:03:06.040 877-3DP-SHOW. Email address, dp at danpatrick.com. Twitter handle at dpshow. 0:03:06.550 --> 0:03:10.150 The head coach at Michigan, Kyle Winningham. Still sounds strange 0:03:10.190 --> 0:03:12.510 to say that, coach, after all those years at Utah. 0:03:12.530 --> 0:03:14.630 Do you have any Utah gear left over? 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.380 Uh, there's probably some back in Utah somewhere in my 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.810 house back there, but it would take me a minute 0:03:20.820 --> 0:03:21.390 to locate it. 0:03:21.389 --> 0:03:21.830 All right. 0:03:21.910 --> 0:03:24.669 So how prepared are you for this moment? 0:03:26.570 --> 0:03:29.089 Uh, well, shoot as prepared as we could possibly be. 0:03:29.150 --> 0:03:31.990 I mean, we got, uh, three more days of practice. 0:03:32.010 --> 0:03:35.010 We certainly need every one of them, but, uh, we've 0:03:35.030 --> 0:03:36.700 had a really good fall camp, made a ton of 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.940 progress and, uh, eager to play, uh, somebody else, you know, 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.520 we've been beating on ourselves for eight months now. And 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.190 so it's, It's going to be good to find out 0:03:45.230 --> 0:03:46.190 what we got on Saturday. 0:03:46.470 --> 0:03:50.510 But the expectation level– now, Utah wanted you to win. 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.960 Michigan wants you to win. Do you feel any different 0:03:53.060 --> 0:03:56.880 with the expectations from the fans of, you know, what 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:57.660 they're hoping for? 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.520 No, I don't believe so. I mean, you know, in 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.700 both places, you're hoping for conference championships and then whatever 0:04:04.260 --> 0:04:08.540 you can accomplish beyond that. But, you know, I've said 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.420 it before. It doesn't matter what level you're coaching at. 0:04:10.460 --> 0:04:13.490 High school– college, NFL, I mean, wherever you are, you're 0:04:13.550 --> 0:04:16.510 all in. And if you're all in and you're, and you've, uh, 0:04:16.790 --> 0:04:18.990 you know, given it everything you got, then you have 0:04:19.029 --> 0:04:22.469 the same, uh, burning desire to win as, uh, as 0:04:22.529 --> 0:04:23.090 anybody else. 0:04:23.950 --> 0:04:26.469 Why did you feel the need to clarify your comments 0:04:26.529 --> 0:04:27.589 about Ohio state? 0:04:28.730 --> 0:04:30.370 Well, I didn't feel the need to clarify. They, they 0:04:30.410 --> 0:04:32.290 were asked about it. You know, people ask about it 0:04:32.310 --> 0:04:35.489 and I, uh, you know, just answer questions. 0:04:35.610 --> 0:04:36.830 Okay. 0:04:37.150 --> 0:04:37.390 Okay. 0:04:37.770 --> 0:04:42.089 So from the first comments to the second, um, People 0:04:42.150 --> 0:04:45.349 want to hear you say you hate Ohio State, right? 0:04:47.589 --> 0:04:49.229 I guess that's what they want. I don't know. I 0:04:49.250 --> 0:04:52.790 want to beat them as bad as anybody, probably worse. 0:04:54.610 --> 0:04:56.990 How about this? I guess we could hate them all 0:04:57.070 --> 0:04:58.230 one day a year. How about that? 0:04:58.870 --> 0:05:01.810 Yeah, but I said, and I grew up in Ohio, 0:05:01.930 --> 0:05:05.310 I said, give him a break. You can know about 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.000 this rivalry. It'd be like if somebody went and said, oh, 0:05:08.380 --> 0:05:10.600 you're at Utah, you got to hate BYU, and you 0:05:10.620 --> 0:05:13.300 just came there. You're like, all right, let me live 0:05:13.339 --> 0:05:16.560 this first a little bit here. So I don't know 0:05:16.580 --> 0:05:21.320 if there's a tutorial on how to strongly dislike a team. 0:05:22.180 --> 0:05:25.320 Yeah, to me, it's got to happen organically. And it's 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.850 tough to manufacture that. And so But just the competitive 0:05:28.910 --> 0:05:31.729 nature of the game. I mean, it's the rivalry game 0:05:31.770 --> 0:05:34.120 in the, you know, the premier rivalry game in the country. 0:05:34.130 --> 0:05:38.680 And it, you know, that's, you know, everybody knows that 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.520 I'm fully aware of that. And by no means was 0:05:41.580 --> 0:05:43.820 I'm trying to downplay the game and the game is huge. 0:05:43.900 --> 0:05:45.730 I mean, it's a huge game year in and year out. 0:05:46.730 --> 0:05:48.750 All you got to do is win. You can hate them. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:50.980 And if you don't beat them, nobody's going to give 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.279 you credit for, well, at least you hate them, coach. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.880 Exactly. Good point. Yeah. 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:01.080 Help me understand where you stood with NFL players coming 0:06:01.140 --> 0:06:03.360 back to college. I know that, you know, all the 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:07.000 conferences are kind of in sync on this, but did 0:06:07.020 --> 0:06:10.370 you ever think we'd get to a situation like this 0:06:10.450 --> 0:06:13.169 where somebody leaves college, goes to the pros, puts on 0:06:13.190 --> 0:06:15.710 a uniform or two, and then comes back? 0:06:16.550 --> 0:06:19.099 Did not foresee that at all. And that's something that, but, 0:06:19.420 --> 0:06:21.460 but any, you know, in this day and age, anything 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.660 that happens in college football shouldn't come as a surprise. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.599 I mean, we're so all over the, we're so all 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.340 over the place with everything that, that I guess anything's possible. 0:06:29.540 --> 0:06:33.320 Okay. How did we get here with just no, there's 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.099 no singular voice. There's no lifeguard on duty in the 0:06:37.140 --> 0:06:38.080 deep end here, coach. 0:06:38.660 --> 0:06:38.900 Right. 0:06:38.940 --> 0:06:39.400 Exactly. 0:06:39.420 --> 0:06:41.960 And that's, that's the problem. I mean, you look at 0:06:41.980 --> 0:06:46.150 the NFL, which is in my opinion, the best-run sports 0:06:46.190 --> 0:06:50.860 organization in the world, and you've got a great structure 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.000 and a commissioner that lays down the law. And if 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.460 you cross that line, you pay severe penalties. And I 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.940 think that's what we've got to get to in college football. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.520 We've got to get to some sort of NFL minor 0:07:03.540 --> 0:07:06.200 league model. I've said that many, many times. But why 0:07:06.260 --> 0:07:09.950 wouldn't you pattern yourself after the best to ever do it? 0:07:10.940 --> 0:07:15.000 Kyle Whittingham, Michigan, head football coach, beginning the season this Saturday, 0:07:15.060 --> 0:07:19.400 Western Michigan. Next Saturday, you welcome in Oklahoma to Ann Arbor. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.780 There was a story in the Salt Lake Tribune a 0:07:21.820 --> 0:07:24.660 couple of days ago. Some former players accused you and 0:07:24.700 --> 0:07:27.620 your staff of mishandling injuries. I want to give you 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:28.900 a chance to address this. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:35.210 Never in my career have I ever tried to sway, influence, 0:07:35.390 --> 0:07:40.840 influence Whatever the word is, our medical staff, wherever I've been, 0:07:41.060 --> 0:07:42.940 we listen to the medical staff. If they say a 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.740 player's available, we go with that. And if they say 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.220 he's not available, we go with that. So I'm not 0:07:48.260 --> 0:07:54.450 sure where this came from or just how it ever materialized, 0:07:54.870 --> 0:07:57.290 but never in my career have we ever crossed the 0:07:57.350 --> 0:08:02.330 line of trying to override a medical decision by our 0:08:02.350 --> 0:08:02.950 medical staff. 0:08:03.690 --> 0:08:05.890 Could you have stayed at Utah if you wanted to? 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.640 I believe that's probably would have been in the cards. 0:08:10.900 --> 0:08:12.660 I think, I think if it really pushed came to 0:08:12.700 --> 0:08:14.540 shove and, you know, I had two years left on 0:08:14.580 --> 0:08:19.160 my contract and, and, uh, but, uh, you know, I've 0:08:20.140 --> 0:08:22.710 always been the type of guy, don't worry about your welcome. 0:08:22.890 --> 0:08:26.430 And I felt like that, that was starting to happen. And, and, uh, 0:08:26.570 --> 0:08:29.650 you know, overstaying your, your welcome is something that, uh, 0:08:29.890 --> 0:08:32.490 I had made a, uh, you know, a conscious decision 0:08:32.929 --> 0:08:36.100 not to do several years ago. And when I, And 0:08:36.500 --> 0:08:38.360 you just don't want to stay somewhere too long. Maybe 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.240 I did stay too long as I was. I don't know. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.740 But I'm grateful for the situation I'm in now and 0:08:44.460 --> 0:08:48.140 couldn't be happier with what's going on here in Michigan. 0:08:48.780 --> 0:08:52.260 Felt like mutual parting. Is that fair to say? 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:57.100 That's probably on some people's part back there. Yeah, I'd 0:08:57.140 --> 0:08:59.980 say depending who you talk to. 0:09:00.179 --> 0:09:03.840 Do you know how good your team can be right now? 0:09:04.790 --> 0:09:06.150 That's a good question. I don't know if anyone in 0:09:06.170 --> 0:09:08.290 the country knows how good their team can be because even, 0:09:08.510 --> 0:09:10.370 you know, you're playing against each other. And if you 0:09:10.860 --> 0:09:12.630 struggle moving the ball, is it because you're lousy on 0:09:12.700 --> 0:09:15.220 offense or is it because your defense is outstanding and 0:09:15.260 --> 0:09:17.800 vice versa? And so you never really get a good 0:09:17.860 --> 0:09:21.080 gauge completely until you line up and play somebody, but 0:09:21.100 --> 0:09:24.920 you can certainly see talent and positions that really are, 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.620 you know, special. And so I think you gotta, you 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.460 got somewhat of an idea, but you don't know for 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.910 sure until you line up and get a, Get someone 0:09:32.929 --> 0:09:36.170 to play against and get a barometer to measure yourself against. 0:09:36.309 --> 0:09:37.770 What's the coolest thing in your office? 0:09:39.990 --> 0:09:42.720 The coolest thing in my office? A lot of pictures 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.400 of my grandkids. They're around here somewhere. Oh, somebody gave 0:09:46.420 --> 0:09:48.540 me this. Oh, I can't show it to you. There's 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.540 a really cool M that lights up that's got lightning 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.330 bolts throughout it. Really cool. It's a good size. You 0:09:56.350 --> 0:09:58.990 can change the colors and all that stuff. So, yeah. 0:09:59.250 --> 0:10:00.160 Anything mean you want to say? 0:10:00.170 --> 0:10:01.250 Not as cool stuff as you got. 0:10:02.410 --> 0:10:05.040 I do have some great stuff in here. I think 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.420 the one, do I have a Michigan helmet in here? 0:10:07.500 --> 0:10:10.560 I got all kinds of helmets in here. Do I? 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.520 We don't have one. I don't think I have one. 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.220 Let's get you one. We'll get you one. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:15.810 Oh, no, no, no. No, no. Hold on. 0:10:16.059 --> 0:10:16.880 Hold on. 0:10:17.020 --> 0:10:17.339 Hold on. 0:10:17.700 --> 0:10:18.680 Just want to let you know. 0:10:19.550 --> 0:10:20.850 Coach, we'll just keep each other company. 0:10:21.550 --> 0:10:24.349 Yeah, okay. Yes. 0:10:25.170 --> 0:10:26.110 There you go, Dan. 0:10:26.150 --> 0:10:26.690 There you go. 0:10:26.850 --> 0:10:27.010 Yep. 0:10:27.710 --> 0:10:30.330 I don't have an Ohio State helmet in here. 0:10:30.610 --> 0:10:31.510 No, that's good news. 0:10:31.650 --> 0:10:35.900 I like to hear that. And I think this came from, 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:41.060 who was the wide receiver who played for the Giants? 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.940 Imani Toomer? Yes. I think Imani Toomer gave me his 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.770 helmet here, Coach. I think it's a keeper. 0:10:47.970 --> 0:10:48.150 Yeah. 0:10:48.170 --> 0:10:49.010 It's autographed here. 0:10:49.030 --> 0:10:50.960 That's the old, that's the old school bike helmet. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:51.500 Yeah. 0:10:51.700 --> 0:10:53.900 Yeah. And then you got the stickers here. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.620 Uh, we still have that tradition. 0:10:56.820 --> 0:10:58.300 What did the, uh, stickers mean? 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.950 If I, uh, all different things, you know, some of 0:11:00.970 --> 0:11:03.449 the area code of the player, uh, or he's from, uh, 0:11:04.250 --> 0:11:07.550 big wins, uh, big plays in games. I mean, it's 0:11:07.570 --> 0:11:10.290 got all kinds of different things on those stickers. 0:11:10.470 --> 0:11:12.850 What if I go to class? Do I get a sticker? 0:11:13.270 --> 0:11:16.110 Like little things like that. That used to matter back 0:11:16.170 --> 0:11:16.650 in our day. 0:11:17.090 --> 0:11:17.830 Well, it still matters. 0:11:17.870 --> 0:11:18.590 Okay. 0:11:19.950 --> 0:11:21.929 You know, that matters to me anyways. And, you know, 0:11:21.950 --> 0:11:24.000 graduating players is number one on the list and winning 0:11:24.030 --> 0:11:27.140 games is number two. And that's, that's how I've always functioned. 0:11:27.580 --> 0:11:29.220 Do you want to say anything mean about Ryan day 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:30.760 before we say goodbye? 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.900 Say anything mean? No, we'll see him. We'll see him 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.439 the last game of the season. How about that? 0:11:36.030 --> 0:11:38.220 Wow, that's bulletin board material right there. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:43.160 Don't bait me. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.360 Good to talk to you. Good luck this weekend. 0:11:45.380 --> 0:11:46.660 Okay, man. Thank you. Thank you, Kyle. 0:11:46.820 --> 0:11:50.640 That's Kyle Whittingham. Yeah, I don't have an Ohio State helmet, 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.089 but this is a real helmet. This is one of 0:11:54.110 --> 0:11:56.750 those heavy suckers. I could walk around and try to 0:11:56.770 --> 0:11:59.150 convince people I played for Michigan, just like that guy 0:11:59.750 --> 0:12:03.530 with the 49ers. Can you imagine a guy is on 0:12:03.570 --> 0:12:07.569 the beach running pass patterns with his Niners helmet on, 0:12:08.010 --> 0:12:10.610 trying to convince the ladies that he played for the Niners. 0:12:11.370 --> 0:12:15.670 And he scammed these women out of over a million dollars. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:22.040 They thought that he was a professional football player. Yes, Molly. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.220 Ayuk's been scamming the Niners for two years, so this 0:12:24.260 --> 0:12:25.280 guy is not even close. 0:12:25.460 --> 0:12:32.080 Wow. Yeah, the story that I saw, Salt Lake Tribune, 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.690 I know it's a big deal, local. I have to 0:12:35.910 --> 0:12:39.580 ask just to have Coach on record of talking about 0:12:39.620 --> 0:12:42.120 it or having him on and then not at least 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.400 asking him about it. But it had to do with 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.490 a handful of players who it felt like they were 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.710 saying Kyle was old school and that he wanted you 0:12:50.750 --> 0:12:54.730 to play through injuries or maybe force players to play 0:12:54.770 --> 0:12:57.310 through injuries. And once again, I'm paraphrasing. I read the 0:12:57.370 --> 0:13:00.079 article this morning and felt the need that I should 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.280 at least ask him. And when I said the need 0:13:03.300 --> 0:13:07.370 to clarify his comments about Ohio state, he initially said 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.010 something about Ohio state and it was kind of lukewarm 0:13:11.090 --> 0:13:12.790 for the Michigan fans. Like, wait a minute, you got 0:13:12.809 --> 0:13:16.190 to hate Ohio state. Well, he just got there. And 0:13:16.230 --> 0:13:18.750 if he came in on fire and that he hated 0:13:18.830 --> 0:13:23.150 Ohio state, then I don't know. You might sound like 0:13:23.190 --> 0:13:28.630 Brian Kelly at LSU. No, just like, no, no, you know, 0:13:28.850 --> 0:13:33.360 I know the significance of the game. Um, And believe me, 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.359 once we get to that point, I'll be ready to go. Like, 0:13:36.740 --> 0:13:38.470 you know, you can't wait to beat him. You can 0:13:38.540 --> 0:13:41.969 hate him. I'd rather you beat him. You could even say, look, 0:13:42.010 --> 0:13:45.750 I respect Ohio State and Ryan Day. Yeah, and I'm 0:13:45.790 --> 0:13:49.430 glad we beat them again. If I'm a Michigan fan, 0:13:49.470 --> 0:13:51.910 I'm fine with that. I don't want the guy. Brady 0:13:52.010 --> 0:13:55.960 Hoke may have hated Ohio State. Did he beat him? 0:13:55.980 --> 0:14:01.400 He didn't even have his headset plugged in. Poor Brady. 0:14:02.250 --> 0:14:06.689 He was a nice guy. How did I get that 0:14:06.770 --> 0:14:13.390 comment about him saying, not good? Did I say something 0:14:13.450 --> 0:14:18.050 about how do you like your chances against Ohio State? 0:14:18.070 --> 0:14:19.870 I think it was a similar question. How do you 0:14:19.910 --> 0:14:21.950 feel about your team this year? And he was like, not. 0:14:22.070 --> 0:14:23.830 And he crossed himself up and he said, good. 0:14:24.710 --> 0:14:26.430 Oh, okay. 0:14:27.330 --> 0:14:28.280 We'll deep dive it. 0:14:28.550 --> 0:14:29.360 Yeah, I forget. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.310 I thought it had something to do with Ohio State, 0:14:33.650 --> 0:14:45.600 and he said, not good. That's fun. Yes, Dylan. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:47.800 I didn't realize that that's where that came from. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.900 Yeah, Brady Hoke. Yeah, see if we can find that. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.750 By the way, Labor Day weekend on NBC, you got baseball. 0:14:55.230 --> 0:15:01.970 You got a doubleheader. It'll be Braves-Phillies Sunday, Twins-White Sox. Monday, Cardinals-Giants. 0:15:02.070 --> 0:15:06.330 Labor Day weekend on NBC and Peacock. All right, we'll 0:15:06.350 --> 0:15:09.390 take a break. Phone call's coming up. Settle on a 0:15:09.430 --> 0:15:13.010 poll question for hour two. We're back after this Dan 0:15:13.030 --> 0:15:13.710 Patrick Show. 0:15:14.410 --> 0:15:16.570 Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan 0:15:16.610 --> 0:15:20.380 Patrick Show weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. Pacific 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.340 on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 0:15:23.850 --> 0:15:45.320 Hey, it's Covino and Rich from Fox Sports Radio. Go 0:15:45.340 --> 0:15:48.680 to YouTube, search Covino and Rich FSR. 0:15:48.980 --> 0:15:52.720 Check us out on YouTube, subscribe, hit that thumbs up icon, 0:15:52.740 --> 0:15:53.660 and comment away. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.910 I think we found the origin of Brady Hoke, the 0:15:56.970 --> 0:16:00.870 former Michigan head coach, that he gave us this. 0:16:02.850 --> 0:16:04.050 Not good. 0:16:04.470 --> 0:16:04.730 Okay. 0:16:05.490 --> 0:16:09.510 I think Paulie said that we have a fan who 0:16:09.590 --> 0:16:11.740 is kind of like the ombudsman, that he knows everything 0:16:11.750 --> 0:16:14.990 that happened on the show. And he told Paulie during 0:16:15.010 --> 0:16:18.510 the commercial break, I asked Brady Hoke how he felt 0:16:18.550 --> 0:16:21.630 about Urban Meyer going to Ohio State when he was 0:16:21.690 --> 0:16:24.270 leaving Florida and went to Ohio State. And that's when 0:16:24.290 --> 0:16:31.670 Brady Hoke said, Not good. Pretty spot on. It's so, 0:16:32.250 --> 0:16:34.670 it's just an honest answer. It's so good. 0:16:35.990 --> 0:16:38.250 Uh, not good. 0:16:39.770 --> 0:16:42.770 Uh, We'll get phone calls coming up. Luke Keekly, Hall 0:16:42.820 --> 0:16:46.120 of Famer, will join us coming up next hour. He's 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:51.200 Kyle Long, CBS Sports, NFL Today studio analyst. Big tough 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.520 guy here. Good to see you again. How would you 0:16:54.540 --> 0:16:56.500 have done against your dad if you had to block 0:16:56.540 --> 0:16:58.470 your dad in his prime? 0:16:59.230 --> 0:17:02.560 Oh, boy, I would have brought help. That's the good 0:17:02.580 --> 0:17:05.619 thing about playing offensive line. I would have taken my licks, though. 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.700 He was pretty violent with his hands. You've got to 0:17:08.740 --> 0:17:10.540 be aware of the get-off. You've got to be aware 0:17:10.580 --> 0:17:14.419 of the one-two club rip inside, I would imagine, is 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.280 on the menu. And then that Reggie White patented hump 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.859 move is probably the main course. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:25.220 When did you, I guess, realize you could take your dad? Like, 0:17:25.740 --> 0:17:28.400 if you're wrestling, there had to be... I'm still waiting, Dan. 0:17:28.420 --> 0:17:28.660 Really? 0:17:28.790 --> 0:17:31.350 I'm still waiting. You know, it's funny. 0:17:32.030 --> 0:17:35.490 There's that inverse relationship of the ability to whip your 0:17:35.510 --> 0:17:38.650 dad's ass and then your willingness or want to whip 0:17:38.690 --> 0:17:41.190 his ass. It's like, as you get older, you could, 0:17:41.210 --> 0:17:43.169 but it's just like, why would I do that? Look at, 0:17:43.190 --> 0:17:46.439 he's making, he's making a blueberry shake for my, my grand, 0:17:46.500 --> 0:17:48.520 my daughter. Like, you know, why would I want to 0:17:48.540 --> 0:17:49.080 get him now? 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:49.700 Yeah. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.739 But I don't know. It's like you play one-on-one with 0:17:51.780 --> 0:17:53.500 your dad playing basketball. 0:17:53.859 --> 0:17:56.500 I think he was aware probably when I was 16, um, 0:17:59.140 --> 0:18:01.460 that I could do some things physically that might've put 0:18:01.500 --> 0:18:03.270 him in jeopardy at the time. 0:18:03.290 --> 0:18:04.730 No, I don't know. I couldn't do the math on 0:18:04.770 --> 0:18:05.830 how old he was, but you know. 0:18:06.150 --> 0:18:08.790 Probably around 16, 17 is when I started to realize 0:18:08.869 --> 0:18:11.050 and my older brother, Chris started to keep his distance. 0:18:11.190 --> 0:18:11.690 Probably. 0:18:14.130 --> 0:18:16.820 I'll bet the fights though. I mean, your mom had 0:18:16.859 --> 0:18:20.620 to go, I got to replace that end table or 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:22.680 that chair, that couch. 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.560 Yeah, she was dealing with riot control, crowd control, far 0:18:27.580 --> 0:18:30.900 before it became in vogue in American society. 0:18:32.780 --> 0:18:35.510 All right, let me give you the full introduction. First 0:18:35.530 --> 0:18:38.449 round pick, 20th overall pick by the Bears, joining us 0:18:39.050 --> 0:18:43.970 on behalf of GenerationFine.com. We'll talk about that because I 0:18:44.030 --> 0:18:46.609 love what you're doing with this. At this point in 0:18:46.630 --> 0:18:49.990 the preseason, do you know what kind of team you 0:18:50.050 --> 0:18:52.780 had going into week one when you were playing? 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.260 I think that the good things about your roster are 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.280 always you have a higher expectation for, and the bad 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.500 things you say, this is going to be our Achilles, 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:05.740 it's going to kill us. And then you end up 0:19:05.780 --> 0:19:08.260 somewhere in the middle. I mean, it always ends up 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:12.180 being a one score game, Dan. It's like, can you 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.330 get the third and one conversion? That's really what it 0:19:15.369 --> 0:19:17.909 comes down to. And I think You know, if I 0:19:17.930 --> 0:19:20.410 look at the Bears, for example, people are really keen 0:19:20.490 --> 0:19:22.649 on the Bears offense. And Ben Johnson says he's going 0:19:22.670 --> 0:19:24.859 to set an NFL record for points per game. 0:19:24.890 --> 0:19:25.980 And that's all well and good. 0:19:26.020 --> 0:19:28.680 But he knows that has to be the case because 0:19:28.700 --> 0:19:31.020 they've got injuries on the back end. They've got question 0:19:31.060 --> 0:19:33.139 marks up front. They've got guys getting paid a lot 0:19:33.180 --> 0:19:35.500 of money that haven't produced the way that they expect. 0:19:36.570 --> 0:19:39.010 And Bears fans are hoping that this thing lands somewhere 0:19:39.050 --> 0:19:39.450 in the middle. 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.070 Yeah, and trying to handicap the NFC North. Now, I 0:19:43.070 --> 0:19:47.450 know Green Bay's got some issues. Certainly, Josh Jacobs out. 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.379 Micah Parsons not back for a little while there. The 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.919 Vikings defense is going to keep them in games, it 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.570 feels like. And then you've got the Lions that we 0:19:56.609 --> 0:20:00.270 kind of forgot about. So if you were going to 0:20:00.310 --> 0:20:01.150 go one through four. 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.220 If I were to go one through four, I would 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.359
