Charles Barkley, who joined us 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.279 earlier in the week, said that he would make his 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.759 decision by tonight when he left New Jersey if he 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.279 was going to join the Live Tour. Bubba Watson is 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.400 reportedly going to join the Live Tour, and I'm told 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.040 there are a couple other players who are contemplating that. 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.000 So we'll have an update for you coming up eight 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.440 seven seven three D P show email address DP at 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.519 dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handled DP show. One of 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.519 our most popular t shirts has been updated. We have 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.320 kicked mclovin to the curb and Marvin has been added 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.720 to the Fab five T shirt available in this store 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.720 dan Patrick dot com. They said it could never happen, Marv, 0:00:52.280 --> 0:01:00.240 but it's there anything possible. And do quote Clay tom sin, 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:05.520 it's a man's game. I have to have Clay Thompson 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.600 on just so you do the Clay Thompson impersonation to him. 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.720 He's that Lebron just got his failings hurt, you know, 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.360 does that sound make Steph Curry Clay Thompson sound more 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.440 intimidating if they if they deliver it like that because 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.000 Clay is not from the South, I mean Steps at 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.800 least from the South where he's got like that. It's 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.880 like a draw. So a little bit of that baby 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.440 Clay has been hanging around Steps so long. Maybe it 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:35.480 just picks it up. It's a man's gang. Whoa man man? 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.520 That sends chills up my spine. Yeah, he's having the 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.760 studio working on his beat. Shun. All right, we have 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.760 a bull update here. Your phone calls are always welcome. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:53.559 And uh I did see this headline NFL defensive coordinator quote. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.400 I don't give a bleep if Lamar Jackson wins MVP 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:01.320 twelve times, will never be a Tier one quarterback. I'll 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.360 give you a little backdrop on how they go about 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.720 finding somebody to say something and all he needs one guy. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.720 If you ask forty guys in the NFL and you 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.919 just send it out in a blast, like you just say, hey, 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.360 what do you think of Lamar Jackson as a Tier 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.880 one quarterback? All you want is somebody anonymously to say 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.440 just what this person said. We'll have that for you 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.360 coming up. Let's see anything else needs to be mentioned 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.280 before we get to the Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman, 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:35.240 the Brickyard Weekend, NBC in Peacock. So it's Saturday, Indiecar 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.280 Sunday as NASCAR, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Brickyard Weekend, NBC, 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.639 and Peacock. He is the head coach at Notre Dame, 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.040 I believe, a former fifth round draft pick of the 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:51.320 Chicago Bears. He's Marcus Freeman. Back on the program, coach. 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.880 Serious question to start out? How much do you mentioned 0:02:54.880 --> 0:03:01.040 these days? I don't know. I do things for reps now, 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.880 you know, I don't know if I'm lifting for a 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.440 peak number like I did when I'm playing. But um, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.320 I like to rep out maybe two twenty five a 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.760 couple of times? All right, I like that. That's that's 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.120 combined weight. You know how many times can you do 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:18.959 two twenty five? What's your all time one rep? Oh? 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.600 It was a close to four hundred when I was 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:25.639 in college. Okay. Uh. The strongest player, strongest player you've 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:31.720 ever been around? Strongest player, UM, James Lorenitis might have 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:36.440 been one. Uh, he was a strong player. Um. Trying 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.000 to think he's the one off the top of my head, 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:43.320 probably James. I'm talking about total bench squad everything. Okay, Uh, 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.120 what do you remember about that two thousand and nine 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.800 when you were drafted? Was it fifth round by the Bears? Yep? 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.960 What do you remember? Remember? I remember being a long day. Um, 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.960 you know. And that's what I tell all these guys that, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.760 you know, I get a chance to coach that have 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.280 hopes of of getting drafted, and I say, if you're 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.560 not the first overall draft pick, you're waiting longer than 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.640 you would expect, so try to figure out something to do. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.760 I remember waiting and waiting. But when you get the 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.920 phone call, it's a dream come true. It doesn't matter 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.159 where you're drafted. When you get a call to say, hey, 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.359 we're drafting you to whatever team it is, it's definitely 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.000 a dream come true. And you don't worry about what 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.160 what that position was. What was it like when they 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:30.000 told you bring us your playbook? It was a reality check, 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.720 you know. And that's as one of many failures that 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.920 you have to overcome. And at some point, no matter 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.080 if it's after year one or training camp one or 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.760 year fifteen, the NFL is going to retire you because 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.120 they don't want you anymore. You know a lot of 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.640 people say they retire from the NFL. The majority of 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.320 the time the NFL retires you. All right, let's get 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.680 down to business. You open up with the Ohio State. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:57.039 When did you start watching tape on Ohio State. I 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.240 would say sometime probably after spring after our spring game, 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.960 and I had a couple of minutes to watch him film, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.280 you know, and definitely would would put them on. But listen, 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.760 I've been watching Ohio State for many years just because 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.880 you know, obviously I'm a fan. Did you grow up 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.640 an Ohio State fan? I did. I was from Dayton, Ohio, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.159 which is about forty five minutes fifty minutes from Columbus, Ohio. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.680 My father was from Columbus, Ohio, So I grew up 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.400 in Ohio State fan. Uh okay, Well that's gonna be 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:32.320 interesting though, playing the Ohio State at Ohio State. Yeah, 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.520 it will, you know. Fortunate for me, I've been back 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:39.240 there on the visiting sideline probably two or three years 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.800 ago when I was at Cincinnati, and you know, so 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.239 I don't know where to go. I know, the locker 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:47.240 room decided the field to go to so at least 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.000 I had that experience. Who came up with the idea 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.040 for the new uniform reveal as you guys tapped into 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:59.039 the Hangover, it was somebody in our Fighting Irish We 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.680 have this our own media department called Fighting Irish Media, 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.760 and uh, they're so creative. And all of a sudden, 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.000 I thought we were just going to Vegas to you know, 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.040 show some of our current players the new jerseys, and 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.359 they said, no, we're gonna We're gonna act out this Hangover, 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.560 the Hangover parody. And it was a crazy experience. You know, 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.680 as I tell many people, I didn't get into this 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.960 profession to act, but um I think after take two 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.640 or three you start getting frustrated and you just hey, 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.760 acting is really just being how you really feel. And 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.520 so uh it was. It was a cool experience for 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.279 me and the players. That's good. Yeah, it was fun 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.320 and the uniforms look great. Uh. What are the advantages 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:41.480 of still being an independent football team? Well, I think 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.480 you get to play a schedule that that is truly 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.880 coast to coast um and that's what makes us unique. 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.520 And you feel like you have a great opportunity every 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.360 year to make the playoff as long as you win 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.840 the games that you have to win, um and it 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.560 gives these young people exposure all over the country and 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.919 you play great own it's every week. How much, say 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.200 will you have in the schedule moving forward at Notre Dame? 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.200 Not much at all. And that's not really what I'm 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.520 learned about. You know, I told our ad you let 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.320 us know who we're playing, and we'll have the team 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.880 ready to go. And so our athletic director and our president, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.120 father Jenkins, have done an unbelievable job at continuing to 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:27.320 help this program be at the forefront of college football 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.360 and of athletics, and so I really rely on them 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.840 to make those big decisions about conferences and make those 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.040 decisions about opponents and those things. And my job and 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.960 my focus is to get this team ready. Let's say 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.240 your athletic director said, Marcus, what do you think about 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.280 joining a conference? What do you think about joining the 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.320 Big Ten? What would you say? I would say, is 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.280 that what you feel is best for our program? And 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.560 if he said yes or being full support, it's a 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.679 good thing to say, smart man, how many teams should 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.000 we have? Having the playoffs? They've they've talked about you know, 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.000 different numbers here, but what do you think would be 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:11.120 fair equitable to the number of schools playing football. I 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.120 don't have an exact number, but I would say the 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.960 more the better, and the more opportunities these college football 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.760 programs have to make the playoffs. I think it's better 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.000 for college football. What role do you play a name, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:26.440 image and likeness at Notre Dame to maximize it for 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.320 our student athletes? And you know, name image and likeness 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.520 is great for our current players, and I think Notre 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:38.200 Dame offers them unique opportunities to truly maximize it in 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.679 terms of the brands that were associated with. But as 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.720 I tell them all the time, the better football player 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.880 you are, the more name image and likeness opportunities you'll get. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.400 And so my focus is to continue to help them 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.839 be better football players and let our name image and 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.600 likeness team kind of figure out those opportunities for them. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.720 Isn't it strange though, when you think about you know, 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.720 if I said when you're in Cincinnati here, you're gonna 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.040 be a head coach at Notre Dame, by the way, 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.320 you gotta you're gonna deal with name, image and likeness 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:12.480 as part of your job. Yeah, That's one of many 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.560 things that I wasn't expecting when I became the head coach. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.280 You know, there's there's so many different things that you 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.280 learn when you becoming the head coach at a place 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.360 like Notre Dame about what it really means to be 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.600 a head coach of a place like this, And name, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.000 image and likeness is one, and academics is another, and 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.280 you know, conference independence is another. But ultimately it comes 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.920 down to making sure that you give these young people 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.520 every opportunity you can to have success. And that's in name, image, likeness, 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.400 that's in football, that's in development for the NFL and 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.000 many other things. Is there any remnants of Brian Kelly 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:50.520 in your office there, Like is it a total makeover? No? No, 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.720 the death, I'm sure it's still where coach Kelly had it. Um, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:10:00.280 you know, the pain is still the same way. We 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.960 didn't need to change too much. Any pictures that are 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.800 still up there with coach. Yeah, there's picture coaching around. 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.760 What he's done for what he did for our program 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.480 was tremendous and we I don't think you're doing Notre 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.560 Dame or Brian Kelly a service if you try to 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.760 erase him and that's not what we want to do. Well, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.360 you know, he sent me all of his coaching gear. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.840 Really yeah, he sent me. He sent me his showers, slippers. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.680 It was like a garage. So he sent me some 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:35.640 golf balls, He sent me visors. You know, we got pullovers, 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.600 and because I said, what are you gonna do with it? 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.600 And he goes, I don't know, I'll send it to you. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.600 And he did. Sent me a whole box full of 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.400 Notre Dame gear. You know what. That's awful. Nice to him. Man, 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.160 you need more. Let me want to do some more. Coach, 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.920 good to talk to you. Can't wait for opening day 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.560 against Ohio State. Thanks for joining us, all right, damn, 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.560 thanks for having that's Marcus Free? Is it Cincinnati? Now 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:03.280 he's already coached one game, lost Oklahoma. I think they 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.480 lost by two at a big lead, lost Oklahoma. Yeah, point, 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.040 that's a monster for September three. You kind of sleep 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.520 on Labor Day weekend. You got you're easing into the season. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.760 You're like, oh, it's first week ish of college football. 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.760 You got primetime Notre Dame at Ohio State. Yeah, that 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.920 doesn't happen a lot. That one. You got Clemson, you 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.480 got USC in there, so you have now you could 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.800 lose to Ohio State, don't get blown out by Ohio State. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.760 And if you you want to lose, if you're losing, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:34.200 lose early and a quality loss certain helps out here. 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.400 But you got Clemson in USC there. And so it's 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.680 a challenging schedule. But we're still waiting to see what's 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:46.480 happening with the Big Ten media rights because and Notre 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:51.560 Dame with NBC, because it feels like if Notre Dame 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.079 has a price, and it was reportedly like seventy five 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.680 million dollars, but NBC only gets the home games. The 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.000 road games are televised by some body else. ABC is 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.440 going to have the Ohio State game. But I wonder 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.000 at some point when there is no deal yet with 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.559 NBC or with the Big Ten, is that going to 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.760 lead to Notre Dame is going to be joining the 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:20.200 Big Ten? Yeah? More more importantly the uniforms, Yeah, for 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.400 schools like Order Dame in Oklahoma and Bama. Is that 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.520 a recruiting Is that a recruiting tool? Like look on 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.440 this big game will wear well? I think the video 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.000 was you know that they had fun with it. But 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.600 I can only I can only bring up what was 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.720 told to me with certain recruits didn't want to wear 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:45.760 certain shoes basketball schools where they'd say are you an 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.959 Adida's school or a Nike school? And you'd have players 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:53.280 who didn't want to play wearing those shoes. As crazy 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.000 as that may sound, Yeah, is that because the shoe 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.440 companies had already bought them a few years earlier? Actually 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:04.400 there is a yeah. Yeah, it's like didn't we pay 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.480 for you in eighth grade? Like why am I? You know? 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.240 Remember your AAU team that was paid for by Nike. Well, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.080 now you're going to a Nike school. Adam Schefter is 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.760 reporting that Todd Bowles, Buccaneers head coach, said at his 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:20.480 press conference today, they're great center Ryan Jensen suffered a 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.760 knee injury at practice. Had to be helped off the field. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.439 We don't know the severity, but that's a big loss. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.880 Ryan Jensen's tough player, great player. But keep an eye 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.920 on them. All right, we'll take a break. Well, I'll 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.920 get two more phone calls coming up. We will check 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.880 in with the Live Tour Alan Schipnuk, who's been covering 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.720 this topic. We'll join us. Has the lib Tour already 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:48.760 won versus the PGA Tour. That's my first question for 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:53.280 Alan coming up, Dan Patrick Show.

Retirement's a big 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.040 deal when it comes to investing for retirement. Can't make 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.360 mistakes and you shouldn't have to do it alone.

Steve in the Outer 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.280 Banks joining us on the program. Good morning, Steve, what 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.520 do you have for us morning? A long time first 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:26.360 time caller six one nine and a quarter inches. I 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.880 happen to be of the age group that's over fifty, 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.440 and I don't want to sound like the curmudgeon about 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:36.560 the live golf tour. However, being a golfer, you know 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.400 that your next shot is your most important shot. A tournament, 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.400 you earn your money based on how will you play 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.600 the game. The history is all these tournaments add up 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.760 to your legacy. Now it looks like to lift her 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.880 is name, image and likeness. These people are going there 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.600 not based on what they're doing right now. A lot 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.520 of them are cashing on what they've done in the past. Yeah, 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:04.560 that's great point. Well, I understand it. I understand why 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.520 a lot of them are doing it. But this is 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.680 one of those where it's not even hey, I don't 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.520 know if I want to take that money. It's the 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:17.440 money is so obscene that they're probably going, are you serious? 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:22.080 Of course I'm going to go if Barkley goes, if 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:26.040 you know Bub is going to go, and Alan Schipnuk 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.680 who's going to join us in about five minutes or so. 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.720 He thinks that the live tour has already won in 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.120 this competition with a PGA tour, I gotta wait and 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.440 see if you have a TV deal. I also want 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.840 to know that they have. They're gonna have to change 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.600 the format because you have so many golfers now and 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.600 playing fifty four holes where you have teams. You know, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.080 that's not really interesting at least I don't find it interesting. 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.720 I love when it's competitive. I like when something's at 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.520 stake there and just because it's a relaxed atmosphere. And 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.440 if they want to say, well, they're growing the tour 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.480 because younger fans are going to come out and watch 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:09.359 what guys who are making a lot of money playing 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.880 for more money and they're playing loud music and what 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.879 they're on teams. I can't imagine that if you're a 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:22.080 teenager you're gonna gotta go see that. So I think 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:26.040 eventually you may have to modify because you got all 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:30.520 these golfers. They have too many golfers. And if you 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.320 have a shotgun, start well, how many golfers are you 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.280 going to get out there? You got a finite amount. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.960 And that's what I think. As they move forward, you're 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:44.480 going to go from eight to fourteen events. I mean, 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.520 nothing ever stays so fourteen then gets to It's like 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:52.159 the NFL schedule or playoff teams. It sounds like they go, 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.000 you know, one second thought, let's go back to eight. 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.960 They're gonna go to fourteen, and then they're gonna go 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:01.040 to what eighteen? And you wonder if the players are 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.840 going to go, oh, man, I gotta play eighteen events. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.840 Now that's part of it that, hey, I don't have 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.360 to play all the time and all that stuff. But 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.600 Alan will join us, coming up, Christ and Brooklyn joins us. Hi, Chris, 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:19.280 what's on your mind? Good morning, Dan? How are you good? Sir? Good? 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.000 I just want to acknowledge with a Bubba Watson leaving 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:23.840 to the Live Tour, what a tough day this must 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.679 be for people who dinner past pro shops and I 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.520 want to congratulate the Live Tour on filling the gaping 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.000 boys we didn't know we needed Between the PGA Tour 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.640 and the SEVERER Tour. All Right, it almost feels like 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.679 the Live Tour is a senior tour, Champions Tour that 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.560 should start when you're forty, because you have a lot 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.080 of golfers in their forties. So you're in that no 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:51.040 man's land. You're not gonna win, probably on the PGA Tour, 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.600 win another major, and you got ten years to go 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.399 or five years to go before you get to the 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.720 Champions Tour. But you got a nice landing spot here 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.360 and then I don't know what happens when you turn 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.359 fifty if you join the Champions Tour, if they will 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.200 allow you to do that. But you know, those are 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.720 just some of the random thoughts, and nothing's really changed 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:13.600 on my end of this. I hate the fact that 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.200 they're having an event in New Jersey with the Saladi 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.399 Back Tour and those poor families with what happened within 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.440 nine to eleven, and they're going to be out there 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:29.480 probably protesting this. But I you know, that's the sad 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.120 part of all of this. You want to go play golf. 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.639 You want to take the money, you want to play great, 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.119 don't don't rub it in. You know the bases of 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:43.320 these poor families who have to relive this, and right 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.879 in your backyard. I think there were seven over seven 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:51.679 hundred people who lost their lives from New Jersey that 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.320 day at the World Trade Center. So extrapolate that with 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.480 a number of family members who were affected by that. 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.800 That's a lot of people. So we'll talk to Alan 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:06.040 ship Nuck. He'll join us coming up. This NFL defensive coordinator, 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:12.440 who I guess told Mike Sando of the Athletic Now 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.720 he will interview a lot of people anonymously, and all 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.840 you need is one person. So let's say I got 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.560 a question. Let's say I have ten questions and I'm 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:26.960 looking for somebody anonymously to give me a headline. That's 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:30.320 all you need to do. Is Dak Prescott a great quarterback. 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:37.080 That might be a question, is Patrick Mahomes overrated? So 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.359 if you get you know, twenty that say no, not 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.480 overrated or whatever, you know their response, and then you 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.800 get somebody, oh, yeah, overrated, and then all of a 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.399 sudden you follow up and say, hey, give me some 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.680 details as to why you think that that's what happens 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:56.720 this time of the year. Create content, And I don't 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.359 know how many people Mike Sando of the Athletic talk to, 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.320 but you get one. So it's a survey of NFL 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.520 coaches and executives, and that feels like, let me just 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.960 put it out there. It's anonymous, just give me something 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:12.200 in return, and all you need to do is get 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:16.359 one who says if Lamar Jackson has to pass to 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.400 win a game, they ain't winning the game. The defensive 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:24.600 coordinator told Mike Sando, he's so unique as an athlete 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.640 and he's really a good football player. But I don't 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:30.720 give a bleep if he wins the league MVP twelve times. 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:34.240 I don't think he'll ever be a number one as 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.280 a quarterback. He'll be a one as a football player, 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:42.440 but not as a quarterback. Okay, first of all, if 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:48.600 you win twelve MVPs, nobody's one half of that. Like, 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:53.359 that's such a stupid comment. Well, of course it's a 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:55.720 stupid comment, and that means you got to take it 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.639 to his head. Coach John Harball's responds to the anonymous 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.919 defense and sup coordinator. Well, with Lamar, I'd say no, 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:05.000 just because he's used to it. I mean, he's been 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.240 hearing the same thing since he was probably in junior high. 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:08.919 You know. I know he heard it in college. I 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.200 know he heard through the draft. I know he hears 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:12.800 some of the same people saying the same things they 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.840 said in the draft. You know that keeps coming up. 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.320 I don't know who this guy named Anonymous is. You know, 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:21.040 I haven't met him yet, so I don't even know 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.080 why we report on what he has to say. It 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.720 is what it is. It's just it's just coloney. It's 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.640 just nothing. It's a big nothing burger, nothing burger. Yes. 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.119 The story says that Lamar Jackson received eight of fifty 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:37.120 votes for Tier one, but got another eight of fifty 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:42.960 votes for tier three, so he would have thirty something votes. 0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:45.600 You know, thirty four votes in tier two. Now that's 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:50.120 more interesting. Eight votes for tier three with Lamar Jackson. 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:54.119 People forget, Lamar Jackson led the NFL and pouncing touchdowns 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.600 one year and he doesn't have good wide receivers. We 0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:01.240
