0:00:00.740 --> 0:00:03.559
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.620 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. It's hour one on this Wednesday.

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Come on in.

0:00:07.100 --> 0:00:10.660
<v Speaker 3>It's a pizza Wednesday, so morale is high, and so

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:13.540
<v Speaker 3>is Dylan. Todd and Dylan in the background.

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 4>What is that about?

0:00:14.540 --> 0:00:18.820
<v Speaker 3>Well, we had the mugshot day yesterday, and we found

0:00:18.940 --> 0:00:22.980
<v Speaker 3>out that Dylan had a mugshot at the age of 20.

0:00:22.980 --> 0:00:25.300
<v Speaker 3>Did you think your life was over, that you were

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 3>arrested for possession and disorderly conduct?

0:00:30.180 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, actually, the payoff wasn't until a full year

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 5>later when I got pulled over for just a traffic

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.580
<v Speaker 5>violation and found out I had a warrant out in

0:00:39.620 --> 0:00:40.420
<v Speaker 5>Jefferson County.

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.740
<v Speaker 2>So that was a fun surprise. Sounds like part of

0:00:43.780 --> 0:00:44.650
<v Speaker 2>a country song.

0:00:46.010 --> 0:00:50.229
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of which, Dolly Parton, is there anybody who is

0:00:50.710 --> 0:00:53.990
<v Speaker 3>or was more beloved? When you think nobody said anything

0:00:54.030 --> 0:00:57.530
<v Speaker 3>negative about Dolly Parton, and I thought she was gorgeous.

0:00:57.530 --> 0:01:02.190
<v Speaker 3>80 years of age, and I just got the biggest

0:01:02.250 --> 0:01:05.110
<v Speaker 3>kick out of her. I thought she was, you couldn't

0:01:05.150 --> 0:01:06.690
<v Speaker 3>help but be in a good mood when you heard

0:01:06.730 --> 0:01:09.870
<v Speaker 3>her song or you heard her interviewed or her acting.

0:01:10.430 --> 0:01:14.230
<v Speaker 3>She was just a treasure. And passing away at the

0:01:14.390 --> 0:01:15.649
<v Speaker 3>age of 80.

0:01:15.650 --> 0:01:16.190
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Marvin.

0:01:16.730 --> 0:01:19.230
<v Speaker 4>I always thought to myself, if Dolly Parton looked like that,

0:01:19.490 --> 0:01:20.569
<v Speaker 4>what did Jolene look like?

0:01:22.270 --> 0:01:25.470
<v Speaker 3>Well, she's talked about Jolene didn't look that good later on.

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.460
<v Speaker 3>But Jolene took her man. But Dolly Parton passing away

0:01:30.500 --> 0:01:33.100
<v Speaker 3>at the age of 80. By the way, we found

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.179
<v Speaker 3>out yesterday that Marvin had a mugshot, but we can't

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:43.770
<v Speaker 3>find the mugshot, conveniently, taken away in handcuffs from college

0:01:43.830 --> 0:01:46.630
<v Speaker 3>at the University of Connecticut. You had a warrant out,

0:01:47.050 --> 0:01:49.950
<v Speaker 3>I believe. You no-showed. Is that how this happened?

0:01:50.430 --> 0:01:53.830
<v Speaker 4>That is correct. There was a promise to appear, and

0:01:53.950 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 4>I did not hold up to that promise, and The

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.500
<v Speaker 4>state police came and got me at the University of Connecticut.

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 6>Oh, my God.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.779
<v Speaker 3>Now, I don't know if you get any street cred

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:06.780
<v Speaker 3>when they show up at your door and they put

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.500
<v Speaker 3>you in handcuffs and lead you away.

0:02:09.260 --> 0:02:09.940
<v Speaker 2>No, street cred?

0:02:10.220 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 4>I want no street cred. I wanted to go to

0:02:12.500 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 4>college and be a college student, and my girlfriend, now wife,

0:02:15.950 --> 0:02:18.550
<v Speaker 4>was in the bed and she was like, oh my God, Marvin,

0:02:18.610 --> 0:02:20.310
<v Speaker 4>I have to call your mom. I was like, don't

0:02:20.410 --> 0:02:22.330
<v Speaker 4>call my mom, call anybody else.

0:02:22.470 --> 0:02:22.970
<v Speaker 7>Literally.

0:02:23.050 --> 0:02:25.770
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. You'd rather see the police than your mom.

0:02:25.950 --> 0:02:26.510
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely.

0:02:26.950 --> 0:02:27.530
<v Speaker 8>Yes.

0:02:27.570 --> 0:02:28.050
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Dylan.

0:02:28.590 --> 0:02:30.989
<v Speaker 5>I did like when you were asking what we got

0:02:31.030 --> 0:02:34.220
<v Speaker 5>arrested for and Marvin said, failure to appear, which implies

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 5>that you were arrested for something else and didn't show

0:02:36.139 --> 0:02:37.420
<v Speaker 5>up for the follow-up court date.

0:02:38.410 --> 0:02:41.150
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to get around it. You know, I just

0:02:41.190 --> 0:02:42.730
<v Speaker 2>didn't show up for a court date.

0:02:42.790 --> 0:02:42.970
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:02:43.010 --> 0:02:45.350
<v Speaker 2>But why were you supposed to go for the court

0:02:45.370 --> 0:02:47.110
<v Speaker 2>date to begin with? Slow charge.

0:02:47.990 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Paulie is here. And of course, the backroom guys, it's

0:02:50.850 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 3>a pizza Wednesday. We have pepperoni pizza, buffalo chicken pizza.

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.820
<v Speaker 3>And we have Todd's famous classic cheese pizza.

0:02:58.840 --> 0:02:59.410
<v Speaker 4>Let's get it.

0:03:00.110 --> 0:03:01.830
<v Speaker 2>Who has it better than we do?

0:03:02.150 --> 0:03:03.170
<v Speaker 1>Nobody.

0:03:20.490 --> 0:03:20.910
<v Speaker 2>Good morning.

0:03:20.950 --> 0:03:24.329
<v Speaker 3>If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app,

0:03:24.350 --> 0:03:28.169
<v Speaker 3>the NBC Sports Now app as well. And we say

0:03:28.190 --> 0:03:32.049
<v Speaker 3>good morning to those listening on iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio,

0:03:32.250 --> 0:03:37.370
<v Speaker 3>over 400 cities around the country. Wednesday, waiting for preseason

0:03:37.390 --> 0:03:41.700
<v Speaker 3>football tomorrow night. Big Ten and the SEC rallied to

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.220
<v Speaker 3>put a stop to going pro and coming back to college.

0:03:45.910 --> 0:03:48.450
<v Speaker 3>We have more on that as well. It's interesting when

0:03:48.810 --> 0:03:53.010
<v Speaker 3>everybody unites and decides to do something together, how quickly

0:03:53.050 --> 0:03:54.990
<v Speaker 3>they get something done in college athletics.

0:03:55.010 --> 0:04:00.130
<v Speaker 2>Because normally it's at a glacial, is it glacial pace?

0:04:00.290 --> 0:04:01.030
<v Speaker 6>Glacial pace?

0:04:01.270 --> 0:04:01.930
<v Speaker 2>Or glacial?

0:04:02.050 --> 0:04:02.470
<v Speaker 9>I think.

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 7>Checking.

0:04:03.630 --> 0:04:03.850
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:04:04.450 --> 0:04:06.370
<v Speaker 2>Who's the smartest guy in this room?

0:04:07.230 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 7>Nobody.

0:04:09.020 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 5>The limit does not exist.

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.700
<v Speaker 2>Well, Todd had the best grade point average.

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:13.740
<v Speaker 10>Which doesn't mean a whole lot.

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.180
<v Speaker 4>I just memorized that very well.

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:15.980
<v Speaker 8>I know.

0:04:16.060 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 3>I used to think, God, you graduated second in a

0:04:18.620 --> 0:04:20.020
<v Speaker 3>class of 600.

0:04:20.020 --> 0:04:21.390
<v Speaker 2>You've got to be really smart.

0:04:22.580 --> 0:04:25.060
<v Speaker 10>I memorized pages of notes and spit back the answers

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.430
<v Speaker 10>or wrote long essays. I learned that it was quantity,

0:04:28.460 --> 0:04:30.289
<v Speaker 10>not quality in school, which it should be the other

0:04:30.310 --> 0:04:30.670
<v Speaker 10>way around.

0:04:30.710 --> 0:04:31.330
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Paul.

0:04:31.470 --> 0:04:35.270
<v Speaker 6>According to USGS.gov, it's glacial pace. Okay.

0:04:35.830 --> 0:04:39.050
<v Speaker 2>So it's on a glacial pace. It's a glacial pace.

0:04:39.390 --> 0:04:41.890
<v Speaker 2>Close enough. All right. Thank you. Yes, Marvin.

0:04:42.630 --> 0:04:46.289
<v Speaker 4>I think Dylan's the smartest person outside of the big

0:04:46.330 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 4>German in the building.

0:04:47.690 --> 0:04:48.690
<v Speaker 2>Oh, wow.

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.980
<v Speaker 4>I think he's really smart. I think he does incredibly

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.260
<v Speaker 4>stupid things. But his actual IQ, I think it's off

0:04:55.310 --> 0:04:55.690
<v Speaker 4>the charts.

0:04:56.310 --> 0:04:56.630
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:04:57.210 --> 0:05:01.670
<v Speaker 3>How about SAT scores, anybody? I took the ACT, and

0:05:01.750 --> 0:05:06.370
<v Speaker 3>it didn't go well. Dylan, SAT scores?

0:05:06.770 --> 0:05:07.290
<v Speaker 2>I did pretty good.

0:05:07.310 --> 0:05:09.170
<v Speaker 6>I think I got like a 2,000.

0:05:09.170 --> 0:05:11.710
<v Speaker 5>I mean, definitely my grades weren't getting me into college,

0:05:11.730 --> 0:05:12.979
<v Speaker 5>so the SAT actually helped me.

0:05:13.180 --> 0:05:13.570
<v Speaker 2>So 2,000 out of 2,400?

0:05:13.540 --> 0:05:13.620
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:05:13.630 --> 0:05:13.750
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:05:13.770 --> 0:05:13.900
<v Speaker 9>Marvin?

0:05:13.900 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 10>1,140.

0:05:13.940 --> 0:05:16.100
<v Speaker 2>Out of 1,600.

0:05:16.100 --> 0:05:18.100
<v Speaker 5>1,600.

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.180
<v Speaker 10>Thought i got 11 20 i took it again i

0:05:25.220 --> 0:05:28.380
<v Speaker 10>got a 10 50 aren't.

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.850
<v Speaker 6>There two parts to it it's like 11 30 and.

0:05:30.570 --> 0:05:33.450
<v Speaker 10>It's 800 800 for reading and math i guess.

0:05:33.290 --> 0:05:35.969
<v Speaker 5>Yeah they had writing when i took it writing was

0:05:36.029 --> 0:05:38.730
<v Speaker 5>the third section which i think they've actually gotten rid

0:05:38.770 --> 0:05:40.530
<v Speaker 5>of again i think it's back to 1600 yeah paul.

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 6>I only took the ACT, and I got a 26, which.

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

0:05:46.500 --> 0:05:50.540
<v Speaker 6>It was actually— I got red-flagged because I was a 2.0 student,

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 6>and I actually— A true story.

0:05:52.820 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Overachieved.

0:05:53.500 --> 0:05:57.190
<v Speaker 6>I overachieved. I did not cheat on the ACT, and

0:05:57.230 --> 0:05:59.970
<v Speaker 6>I had to explain myself. I said, I don't try

0:06:00.050 --> 0:06:01.890
<v Speaker 6>during school. I actually did okay on the test.

0:06:02.970 --> 0:06:04.850
<v Speaker 3>I think the first time I took the ACT, I

0:06:04.870 --> 0:06:09.669
<v Speaker 3>got a 14, to which my parents said, that's not possible.

0:06:10.570 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 2>They said, take it again. I think I got a 16.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.429
<v Speaker 3>So this is kind of like the Wunderlich test scores

0:06:17.470 --> 0:06:19.409
<v Speaker 3>when they come out and you go, you got like

0:06:19.450 --> 0:06:22.570
<v Speaker 3>a nine. And then I had to take it again

0:06:23.070 --> 0:06:25.270
<v Speaker 3>just so I could go to college. And I think

0:06:25.290 --> 0:06:28.610
<v Speaker 3>I got an 18. And then my dad said, how

0:06:28.630 --> 0:06:31.150
<v Speaker 3>about you don't sleep? Maybe you stay out all night.

0:06:31.550 --> 0:06:31.790
<v Speaker 8>Maybe.

0:06:32.010 --> 0:06:34.349
<v Speaker 2>And I got an 18. I go, I can get

0:06:34.390 --> 0:06:38.070
<v Speaker 2>into college, Dad. I'm proud of you, son. Yes. Yes, Dylan.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.099
<v Speaker 5>Was I'm going to take a wild guess for the

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.540
<v Speaker 5>entire room that the math section of both tests is

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 5>what killed everyone.

0:06:45.550 --> 0:06:49.810
<v Speaker 2>Cause that's what, that's what brought me down. Uh, I

0:06:49.830 --> 0:06:52.270
<v Speaker 2>would say by my score, everything brought me down. It's

0:06:52.310 --> 0:06:53.510
<v Speaker 2>a whole package. No, it was.

0:06:53.890 --> 0:06:56.969
<v Speaker 3>And I was, all of my friends were really smart,

0:06:57.529 --> 0:07:01.650
<v Speaker 3>like really smart B plus a minus. And then I

0:07:02.250 --> 0:07:04.910
<v Speaker 3>was just kind of there, you know, kind of, uh,

0:07:05.150 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 3>drafting off their fumes and, uh, I just, man, it's

0:07:09.380 --> 0:07:13.500
<v Speaker 3>biggest regret of my life that I didn't, unlike Deshaun Watson,

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I do have regrets. And one regret is I just

0:07:16.500 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 3>didn't care about school. And looking back, and then whenever

0:07:20.220 --> 0:07:23.570
<v Speaker 3>my kids say, whenever I would criticize their grades, they go, Well,

0:07:23.620 --> 0:07:24.050
<v Speaker 3>you didn't.

0:07:23.890 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Have good grades. And I said, yeah, but look where

0:07:25.940 --> 0:07:28.660
<v Speaker 2>I am now. Shut up. Yeah, Paul.

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.300
<v Speaker 6>But you got a 14 in the ECT. Pete Rose

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 6>was 14 with the Reds. There's something cool about that.

0:07:33.700 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:35.700
<v Speaker 2>Numerology. Yes.

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:36.060
<v Speaker 6>Yes.

0:07:36.460 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, it'd been nice if maybe I was interested in,

0:07:40.420 --> 0:07:42.860
<v Speaker 3>let's see, who would have had a good number for me?

0:07:44.780 --> 0:07:45.820
<v Speaker 2>Sports guy.

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:48.700
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.260
<v Speaker 2>Hank Aaron had a 44. More number 44. There you go. Yes, Marvin.

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.620
<v Speaker 4>Quick question for Paulie. Was your mother upset about your

0:07:56.660 --> 0:08:00.540
<v Speaker 4>high ACT score because you just were so lackluster as

0:08:00.580 --> 0:08:01.220
<v Speaker 4>a regular student?

0:08:01.620 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 6>She gave up. She gave up at some point during

0:08:04.020 --> 0:08:06.850
<v Speaker 6>high school. I just kept a C plus average and

0:08:06.990 --> 0:08:08.970
<v Speaker 6>didn't get in trouble. And that was enough for her.

0:08:09.510 --> 0:08:12.970
<v Speaker 6>I would always hear, why don't you just apply yourself, Danny?

0:08:13.250 --> 0:08:17.390
<v Speaker 6>If I had a dollar, I would have been rich.

0:08:17.890 --> 0:08:20.710
<v Speaker 6>Every time my mom said, why don't you just apply yourself, Danny?

0:08:21.270 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 6>I said, I don't know, mom.

0:08:23.060 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Can I go up and shoot hoops?

0:08:25.540 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 6>Okay.

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:26.700
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Marvin.

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.330
<v Speaker 4>My mom said something similar. Marvin, I'm on you because

0:08:30.390 --> 0:08:33.500
<v Speaker 4>it'd be different if you were stupid. but the teachers

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 4>tell me you're bright, and I don't believe them.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.020
<v Speaker 2>Prove me wrong. Yes, Todd.

0:08:38.380 --> 0:08:40.100
<v Speaker 10>I love that Paul, he's told this story a number

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.540
<v Speaker 10>of times, but it's worth repeating that he knew at

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.180
<v Speaker 10>a young age that he was all about sports and

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:45.980
<v Speaker 10>wanted to do something in the sports business, and he

0:08:46.020 --> 0:08:48.579
<v Speaker 10>was not afraid to be looking at his Sports Illustrated magazine,

0:08:48.860 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 10>you know, hiding it, I guess, in the back while

0:08:50.740 --> 0:08:52.860
<v Speaker 10>he's got the textbook around it. And I just, I

0:08:53.020 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 10>always loved that story.

0:08:53.940 --> 0:08:56.860
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you, Todd. You're welcome. All righty. Poll question

0:08:56.900 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 2>for the first hour. Todd's telling stories about me.

0:08:59.960 --> 0:09:00.300
<v Speaker 9>I know.

0:09:01.100 --> 0:09:03.540
<v Speaker 2>Can't you just pull Paul to the side and say, oh, man.

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:04.980
<v Speaker 4>We're talking about school and everything.

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I just think that's great.

0:09:05.730 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm picturing Paul in the back looking at his Sports Illustrated.

0:09:07.830 --> 0:09:10.070
<v Speaker 2>All right, Dylan, what's the poll question for the first hour?

0:09:11.370 --> 0:09:13.950
<v Speaker 5>Do you consider the start of college football season to

0:09:13.990 --> 0:09:17.870
<v Speaker 5>be tomorrow or Saturday? It begins tomorrow. Don't disrespect the

0:09:18.010 --> 0:09:20.550
<v Speaker 5>FCS or Saturday. There's no other answer here. This is

0:09:20.590 --> 0:09:21.530
<v Speaker 5>from Todd, clearly.

0:09:23.270 --> 0:09:27.589
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't like week zero. I just, I

0:09:27.610 --> 0:09:31.210
<v Speaker 3>don't like Coke zero either. But week zero, I just

0:09:31.690 --> 0:09:35.370
<v Speaker 3>don't think it's fair. Is it a week? Are they

0:09:35.390 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 3>playing football? Don't call it week zero. So you want

0:09:39.660 --> 0:09:40.900
<v Speaker 3>to have it Thursday?

0:09:41.059 --> 0:09:41.239
<v Speaker 6>Sure.

0:09:41.780 --> 0:09:45.300
<v Speaker 2>No problem starting it on Thursday. Yes, yes, Paulie.

0:09:45.370 --> 0:09:48.090
<v Speaker 6>You could both not like Week Zero, August College Football,

0:09:48.170 --> 0:09:50.089
<v Speaker 6>and watch every game simultaneously.

0:09:50.250 --> 0:09:52.069
<v Speaker 2>Which is what we do. Yeah, deal.

0:09:52.330 --> 0:09:55.010
<v Speaker 5>Is this a more philosophical question about is zero a

0:09:55.070 --> 0:09:55.810
<v Speaker 5>number or not?

0:09:56.090 --> 0:10:00.820
<v Speaker 2>Is that the... Now back to who's... the smartest in

0:10:00.860 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 2>the room. Okay, Dylan. I don't know the answer. Is

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:05.459
<v Speaker 2>zero a number?

0:10:05.660 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:10:06.260 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 9>Todd?

0:10:06.860 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I would say yes, because if I put a one

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.300
<v Speaker 3>in front of it, it's 10, and that's a number.

0:10:13.980 --> 0:10:18.050
<v Speaker 3>If I put two in front of it, 20, 30.

0:10:18.050 --> 0:10:22.150
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that's going to hold up the court, Dan. Yes,

0:10:22.170 --> 0:10:22.790
<v Speaker 2>it has to be.

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.260
<v Speaker 10>It's like part of math problems. Like anything times zero

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 10>is zero. You know, it's got.

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:27.460
<v Speaker 2>To be a number.

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 9>Zero is a number.

0:10:29.340 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Matt Leinart from Fox Sports. Big noon kickoff. Former USC quarterback.

0:10:34.780 --> 0:10:36.470
<v Speaker 3>He'll join us a little bit later on as well.

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:37.490
<v Speaker 2>Phone calls.

0:10:37.910 --> 0:10:43.150
<v Speaker 3>Operator Tyler sitting by. 877-3DP-SHOW. Email address dp at danpatrick.com.

0:10:43.570 --> 0:10:47.430
<v Speaker 3>Twitter handle at dpshow. We'll get to your phone calls

0:10:47.510 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 3>coming up. Let's settle on a poll question for the

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.100
<v Speaker 3>first hour of this program.

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:51.439
<v Speaker 8>Dylan?

0:10:52.900 --> 0:10:55.020
<v Speaker 5>So we got the, when does the football season start?

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.660
<v Speaker 5>Is it FCS or not? And then Todd sent me

0:10:58.710 --> 0:10:59.210
<v Speaker 5>another one.

0:10:59.429 --> 0:10:59.729
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:11:00.270 --> 0:11:03.070
<v Speaker 5>Which team has to at least reach the Super Bowl

0:11:03.150 --> 0:11:04.170
<v Speaker 5>or it's a failed season?

0:11:04.250 --> 0:11:08.770
<v Speaker 2>Ooh, okay. Give me the nominees and then we'll talk

0:11:08.820 --> 0:11:09.130
<v Speaker 2>about that.

0:11:09.950 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 5>We've got Bills, Rams, and Ravens, and there is room

0:11:13.740 --> 0:11:15.540
<v Speaker 5>for a fourth spot if we want to.

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:21.350
<v Speaker 2>Throw it in the mix. Nobody talks about Seattle. I

0:11:21.370 --> 0:11:23.270
<v Speaker 2>am truly amazed if.

0:11:24.270 --> 0:11:26.650
<v Speaker 3>Now, it wouldn't be the same in Buffalo or Detroit

0:11:26.790 --> 0:11:29.850
<v Speaker 3>if they won a Super Bowl, but think of another

0:11:29.950 --> 0:11:33.110
<v Speaker 3>city where you won the Super Bowl... And then nobody's

0:11:33.150 --> 0:11:35.630
<v Speaker 3>talking about you the next year. And yes, did they

0:11:35.670 --> 0:11:37.390
<v Speaker 3>lose their running back in Kenneth Walker?

0:11:37.429 --> 0:11:37.679
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.060
<v Speaker 2>But that still is a great defense.

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:45.420
<v Speaker 3>And all indications are they will still be, might be

0:11:45.460 --> 0:11:48.660
<v Speaker 3>the best balanced team in the NFL. They were all

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 3>last year, it felt like. Now the Rams, we expect

0:11:51.730 --> 0:11:56.350
<v Speaker 3>them to be great. I just, I just, I'm amazed.

0:11:56.570 --> 0:12:00.709
<v Speaker 3>And maybe it's where Seattle located. They don't have a

0:12:00.890 --> 0:12:03.860
<v Speaker 3>coach there. That you remember his name, you get confused

0:12:03.900 --> 0:12:07.100
<v Speaker 3>with maybe, you know, is it McDaniel, McDonald?

0:12:07.620 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Is it Mike, Mark, Luke, and John? Yeah, Paulie.

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.179
<v Speaker 6>But like the Seahawks didn't, they weren't sneaky last year.

0:12:15.220 --> 0:12:18.090
<v Speaker 6>They were 14-3. They didn't, they weren't like a wild

0:12:18.140 --> 0:12:20.510
<v Speaker 6>card that came out of nowhere. They outscored their opponents

0:12:20.570 --> 0:12:23.490
<v Speaker 6>by 191 points last year. They were better than the

0:12:23.530 --> 0:12:24.830
<v Speaker 6>Rams in the regular season.

0:12:24.950 --> 0:12:25.410
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Marv.

0:12:26.250 --> 0:12:28.390
<v Speaker 4>But should they be a part of this conversation since

0:12:28.410 --> 0:12:30.809
<v Speaker 4>they won the Super Bowl? Aren't we talking about teams

0:12:30.850 --> 0:12:32.550
<v Speaker 4>that need to get there at least?

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.020
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so this is about those who didn't get there,

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.439
<v Speaker 3>haven't got there. Is that what we're saying in a while?

0:12:42.179 --> 0:12:46.109
<v Speaker 3>I understand the Rams because of the hype. Seattle to

0:12:46.150 --> 0:12:49.429
<v Speaker 3>go back-to-back would be pretty magnanimous.

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Todd. To me, it's so.

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.090
<v Speaker 10>Hard to repeat, and I don't think it's disrespecting the Seahawks. Basically,

0:12:55.110 --> 0:12:56.790
<v Speaker 10>it's which team has to at least reach the Super

0:12:56.809 --> 0:12:59.090
<v Speaker 10>Bowl or it's a failed season. They already just did

0:12:59.130 --> 0:13:00.790
<v Speaker 10>it last year. They won the whole thing. If for

0:13:00.809 --> 0:13:02.890
<v Speaker 10>some reason they don't get to the Super Bowl, I

0:13:02.910 --> 0:13:04.430
<v Speaker 10>don't think everyone's going to be like, what happened to

0:13:04.450 --> 0:13:07.050
<v Speaker 10>the Seahawks? Because they don't get to the Seahawks, to

0:13:07.070 --> 0:13:09.180
<v Speaker 10>the championship or win back-to-back Super Bowls.

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Look at you. Yeah, Paul.

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 6>I would like to throw the Detroit Lions into this

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.780
<v Speaker 6>because it feels like they're getting further from the Super Bowl.

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:18.900
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:13:22.580 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 2>The Niners?

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:25.579
<v Speaker 6>Can of worms.

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:31.179
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't that be great, though? The Niners.

0:13:33.610 --> 0:13:37.690
<v Speaker 3>Still getting a lot of information about their owner. You know,

0:13:37.710 --> 0:13:39.770
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of franchises where you don't know the owner,

0:13:40.990 --> 0:13:43.510
<v Speaker 3>and this is a situation where if you're that owner,

0:13:43.570 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 3>you don't want to be known around the country for this,

0:13:47.390 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 3>because he's always going to be known as That guy.

0:13:51.620 --> 0:13:54.590
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll talk about the poll question coming up.

0:13:54.929 --> 0:13:58.350
<v Speaker 3>Also, there was this study that was released, and I'm

0:13:58.390 --> 0:14:02.189
<v Speaker 3>not the least bit surprised, but maybe you are, because

0:14:02.250 --> 0:14:05.610
<v Speaker 3>new research shows that 25% of all NFL players who

0:14:05.650 --> 0:14:11.390
<v Speaker 3>died during a recent six-year period had the degenerative brain

0:14:11.429 --> 0:14:13.050
<v Speaker 3>disease known as CTE.

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:15.699
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about this situation.

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.530
<v Speaker 3>This epidemic really is what it is. The NFL will

0:14:20.550 --> 0:14:23.590
<v Speaker 3>never say that, but it is an epidemic. And is

0:14:23.650 --> 0:14:26.730
<v Speaker 3>there a way to combat those numbers? Because once we

0:14:26.750 --> 0:14:32.740
<v Speaker 3>got through with the concussion lawsuit and it was basically, hey, now,

0:14:32.790 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, we paid out the money. And if you

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 3>we know it's a violent sport, if you sign up

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:42.020
<v Speaker 3>for it, you know exactly what could happen. But the

0:14:42.060 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 3>fact that this would be one in a one in

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:51.460
<v Speaker 3>100 is considered an epidemic. in other facets of life.

0:14:52.300 --> 0:14:59.430
<v Speaker 3>This is, what, 1 in 25? I mean, that's far

0:14:59.470 --> 0:15:01.950
<v Speaker 3>more than an epidemic with the NFL. I don't know

0:15:01.990 --> 0:15:05.090
<v Speaker 3>if the NFL even acknowledges this. What do they say?

0:15:05.370 --> 0:15:10.300
<v Speaker 3>What's the Players Association say? What do those networks that

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 3>carry the NFL, how deep do they go on this today?

0:15:14.540 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 3>We'll take a break. We'll come back. We've got phone

0:15:16.460 --> 0:15:18.660
<v Speaker 3>calls in the on-deck circle. Matt Leiner a little bit

0:15:18.700 --> 0:15:19.660
<v Speaker 3>later on as well.

0:15:20.220 --> 0:15:21.490
<v Speaker 2>Take a break. Back after this.

0:16:02.020 --> 0:16:04.380
<v Speaker 3>We still have to populate the poll question with the

0:16:04.500 --> 0:16:06.490
<v Speaker 3>options that we're going to provide in the first hour

0:16:06.500 --> 0:16:10.170
<v Speaker 3>of the program. Dylan, give us the phrasing on the

0:16:10.190 --> 0:16:13.950
<v Speaker 3>poll question, and then we'll see if there's a consensus

0:16:14.050 --> 0:16:16.670
<v Speaker 3>on the team that we add to that list.

0:16:17.230 --> 0:16:19.770
<v Speaker 5>So which team has to at least reach the Super

0:16:19.810 --> 0:16:21.790
<v Speaker 5>Bowl or it's a failed season? I think kind of

0:16:21.870 --> 0:16:26.390
<v Speaker 5>the implication being, you know, they're due or the window's

0:16:26.460 --> 0:16:29.830
<v Speaker 5>closing or like it feels like, Now is the time.

0:16:29.990 --> 0:16:36.740
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so Buffalo and Baltimore, definitely. Detroit, definitely. I would

0:16:36.770 --> 0:16:37.620
<v Speaker 3>say the Rams.

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:38.859
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:16:40.660 --> 0:16:43.260
<v Speaker 5>I mean, how much Stafford do you have left? Actually,

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 5>I was thinking, too, I mean, obviously they've been, but

0:16:46.060 --> 0:16:48.140
<v Speaker 5>the Bengals kind of feels like.

0:16:48.500 --> 0:16:50.620
<v Speaker 2>No, that's just, they've got to make the playoffs.

0:16:50.820 --> 0:16:53.900
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Because they haven't made the playoffs. And you've got

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.820
<v Speaker 3>to coach... So he's the only coach with experience in

0:16:57.860 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 3>that division. And he could be on the outside looking in.

0:17:02.460 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 3>If they don't make the playoffs this year and everybody's healthy, uh,

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 3>I think Cincinnati would probably be in line for a

0:17:09.570 --> 0:17:11.710
<v Speaker 3>new head coach. So I wouldn't put Cincinnati in there.

0:17:12.630 --> 0:17:15.510
<v Speaker 3>I think their goal, make the playoffs, maybe make a

0:17:15.530 --> 0:17:17.350
<v Speaker 3>little bit of a run. I'm sure their goal is

0:17:17.390 --> 0:17:20.930
<v Speaker 3>the Superbowl, but I, I don't think they're better than

0:17:21.010 --> 0:17:25.850
<v Speaker 3>Baltimore this year, at least not right now. Um, And

0:17:25.890 --> 0:17:27.730
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they're better than Buffalo, so I would

0:17:27.770 --> 0:17:30.669
<v Speaker 3>put them in there. Kansas City, if they don't make

0:17:30.710 --> 0:17:33.990
<v Speaker 3>the Super Bowl, I don't think that's– I'm going to

0:17:34.010 --> 0:17:37.150
<v Speaker 3>give them a hall pass considering Mahomes coming back from injury.

0:17:37.170 --> 0:17:37.580
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Paul.

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 6>Do you still hall pass the Eagles and Nick Sirianni?

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:40.580
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:41.380 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 6>A little bit?

0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:47.939
<v Speaker 3>But if they don't– let's say they trickle into the postseason. Now,

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.060
<v Speaker 3>I do think the division is going to be pretty–

0:17:50.140 --> 0:17:52.179
<v Speaker 3>I think the Giants will be a lot better because

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.369
<v Speaker 3>of Harbaugh Washington has to be better if everybody's healthy.

0:17:56.609 --> 0:18:01.670
<v Speaker 3>I think Dallas is sneaky, sneaky, good. And, uh, so you,

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.940
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's some real competition there from top to bottom. Yeah.

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:05.220
<v Speaker 4>Dylan.

0:18:05.820 --> 0:18:05.919
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.540
<v Speaker 5>Well, every year is a letdown. If the Cowboys, I think,

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.899
<v Speaker 5>I do think the lions are probably would be the

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:14.020
<v Speaker 5>best fourth option.

0:18:14.140 --> 0:18:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.820
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if there's another one that's glaring like

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:24.899
<v Speaker 3>times running out on Buffalo and Detroit. Um, I mean, Buffalo,

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.919
<v Speaker 3>we know they've been there and they lost, but Detroit

0:18:29.260 --> 0:18:32.420
<v Speaker 3>should have been there a couple of years ago. You're

0:18:32.460 --> 0:18:37.330
<v Speaker 3>up at halftime, what, 24-7? And then it all disappeared.

0:18:37.670 --> 0:18:38.290
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Marvin?

0:18:39.030 --> 0:18:41.830
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to say Buffalo only because of last year's

0:18:42.230 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 4>enormous disappointment with losing to the Broncos because there was

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 4>no Lamar and no Mahomes in your way. So that

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.140
<v Speaker 4>really put a sour taste in people's mouths.

0:18:51.180 --> 0:18:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, no Lamar, no Mahomes, Burrows out of the playoffs.

0:18:55.310 --> 0:18:57.950
<v Speaker 3>It opened wide for you to, okay, you're going against

0:18:58.010 --> 0:19:01.669
<v Speaker 3>Bo Nix. Now, on the road, but you got to

0:19:01.710 --> 0:19:05.310
<v Speaker 3>win that game. I think if you look a lot

0:19:05.350 --> 0:19:08.490
<v Speaker 3>of these quarterbacks, you've had that signature win on the

0:19:08.550 --> 0:19:11.060
<v Speaker 3>road that helped you get over the hump to get

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.580
<v Speaker 3>to a Super Bowl, have a big performance, and didn't

0:19:15.619 --> 0:19:17.179
<v Speaker 3>happen for Josh Allen and company.

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Mark.

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 4>It didn't help that Drake May got to the Super

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:21.119
<v Speaker 4>Bowl before you did.

0:19:21.340 --> 0:19:21.900
<v Speaker 12>That's true.

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I know I'm not all in on the Patriots this year.

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:30.820
<v Speaker 3>It feels like there might be a little bit of

0:19:30.859 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 3>a letdown there for some reason. But, look, I don't

0:19:36.340 --> 0:19:37.580
<v Speaker 3>know how good the Jets are going to be or

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 3>the Dolphins. So you always look at your division and

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 3>you say, all right, how many wins do you know

0:19:42.020 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 3>you're going to get? You can pick off four wins

0:19:45.540 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 3>the Dolphins and the Jets. Can you beat Buffalo one time? Okay,

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:54.780
<v Speaker 3>maybe that's five wins. Can you get to 10, 11 wins?

0:19:55.350 --> 0:19:58.350
<v Speaker 3>Then you start to look at what conference division are

0:19:58.390 --> 0:20:01.210
<v Speaker 3>you matched up with, and then you start to look

0:20:01.270 --> 0:20:04.010
<v Speaker 3>at how many wins somebody could have. You look at Seattle,

0:20:04.330 --> 0:20:06.230
<v Speaker 3>and what made it even more amazing is you're in

0:20:06.270 --> 0:20:09.700
<v Speaker 3>the same division with the Rams and the 49ers. And granted,

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.460
<v Speaker 3>the 49ers were banged up. Arizona's not good. So you

0:20:13.500 --> 0:20:18.860
<v Speaker 3>know you could probably get two wins right there. San Francisco,

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 3>they're going to be better this year because they'll be

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:22.500
<v Speaker 3>healthier this year.

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Paulie?

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.300
<v Speaker 6>The Cardinals always help you stack up some wins during

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:25.940
<v Speaker 6>the regular season.

0:20:26.100 --> 0:20:29.010
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but they're going to pick off somebody. It happens

0:20:29.310 --> 0:20:31.670
<v Speaker 3>every year where you go, how did that team beat

0:20:31.750 --> 0:20:35.090
<v Speaker 3>that team? And sometimes you'll beat that team, beat that

0:20:35.150 --> 0:20:40.770
<v Speaker 3>team on their team. Home field. That's what's always interesting. 877-3DP-SHOW.

0:20:41.210 --> 0:20:45.590
<v Speaker 3>Email address, dp at danpatrick.com. Twitter handle at dpshow. I

0:20:45.650 --> 0:20:50.490
<v Speaker 3>mentioned this study. So 25% of all former NFL players

0:20:50.650 --> 0:20:55.540
<v Speaker 3>who died during a six-year period had CTE. That's the

0:20:55.680 --> 0:21:02.140
<v Speaker 3>degenerative brain disease. That doesn't include nearly three-quarters of deceased

0:21:02.220 --> 0:21:08.969
<v Speaker 3>players who weren't tested for the disease. scientists say that

0:21:08.970 --> 0:21:12.659
<v Speaker 3>10 to 20 percent of coal miners who have worked

0:21:12.660 --> 0:21:16.480
<v Speaker 3>25 years or more have gotten black lung disease.

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, that's considered an epidemic.

0:21:19.420 --> 0:21:25.490
<v Speaker 3>So you can imagine there's a former OSHA official, a

0:21:25.609 --> 0:21:32.409
<v Speaker 3>scientist said it's apocalyptically high, the number that we have,

0:21:32.510 --> 0:21:37.590
<v Speaker 3>noting that Russian roulette carries better odds than So to him,

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.389
<v Speaker 3>the risk of 1 in 100 would be an epidemic.

0:21:42.990 --> 0:21:46.710
<v Speaker 3>You had 25% of all of these former players. We

0:21:46.770 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 3>know it's there. We know it's not going away. And

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't surprised when I got the information. And maybe

0:21:54.859 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm numb to it. Because I've said before, it's next

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:02.290
<v Speaker 3>man up for us as fans. Like, you love a player...

0:22:02.810 --> 0:22:05.570
<v Speaker 3>But do you really stay in touch and find out

0:22:05.630 --> 0:22:06.970
<v Speaker 3>how Earl Campbell's doing?

0:22:07.190 --> 0:22:11.189
<v Speaker 2>And the answer is no. Jim McMahon, go down the list.

0:22:11.550 --> 0:22:14.550
<v Speaker 3>You know, when we had Eric Dickerson in studio, that

0:22:14.570 --> 0:22:16.830
<v Speaker 3>was a couple of years ago, and he said, I

0:22:17.650 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 3>have to sleep in a chair. I have to sleep upright.

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:27.340
<v Speaker 3>I can't sleep in a bed. Now, once again, there's

0:22:27.380 --> 0:22:30.780
<v Speaker 3>another running back, and there's another running back, and, you know,

0:22:30.859 --> 0:22:34.190
<v Speaker 3>all right, we move on with this. But when you

0:22:34.310 --> 0:22:36.869
<v Speaker 3>see the totality of this, and yes, they sign up

0:22:36.930 --> 0:22:42.710
<v Speaker 3>for this. These Guardian helmets, I know they look odd.

0:22:43.590 --> 0:22:45.770
<v Speaker 3>And I think if there was a way to make

0:22:45.830 --> 0:22:50.640
<v Speaker 3>them look a little bit more aesthetically pleasing, that players

0:22:50.700 --> 0:22:54.500
<v Speaker 3>would be okay with this. We know it's going to

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 3>help protect your brain more than the regular NFL helmet,

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 3>and they've made great strides. But if they could do it,

0:23:02.350 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 3>where the protective covering looks better, then players might not

0:23:07.410 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 3>feel like they have a bubble on their head. Keep

0:23:11.540 --> 0:23:15.500
<v Speaker 3>in mind, Jacques Plante was the first goalie to wear

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.100
<v Speaker 3>a mask. Now, can you imagine what the reaction must

0:23:18.140 --> 0:23:22.620
<v Speaker 3>have been? Like, what is wrong with him? Oh, he's soft.

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:24.380
<v Speaker 2>He's wearing a mask.

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.570
<v Speaker 3>You know, when you had these players wearing shields in hockey,

0:23:29.150 --> 0:23:34.260
<v Speaker 3>and these are the toughest guys. Baseball batting helmets. Can

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:39.619
<v Speaker 3>you imagine? Wait, he's got a batting helmet on? The

0:23:39.700 --> 0:23:43.619
<v Speaker 3>flap protecting the left or right side of your face?

0:23:45.570 --> 0:23:48.670
<v Speaker 3>And now we just accept it. It's okay with a

0:23:48.690 --> 0:23:51.450
<v Speaker 3>batting helmet. Barry Bonds going up there looking like a

0:23:51.670 --> 0:23:53.710
<v Speaker 3>gladiator with all the padding on his arm.

0:23:54.530 --> 0:23:56.030
<v Speaker 2>We just kind of accept it.

0:23:58.090 --> 0:24:00.170
<v Speaker 3>And I'm wondering, can we get to the point where

0:24:00.890 --> 0:24:03.790
<v Speaker 3>NFL players, college players, and I don't know the cost

0:24:03.830 --> 0:24:07.379
<v Speaker 3>of that for college players, but college is a bigger

0:24:07.450 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 3>problem than the NFL, folks, because they don't get the

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 3>medical treatment. Nobody is following up with them when they graduate,

0:24:14.859 --> 0:24:18.120
<v Speaker 3>and only 2% of college football players play in the NFL.

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:20.469
<v Speaker 2>That's the epidemic.

0:24:21.090 --> 0:24:24.750
<v Speaker 3>That's the silent epidemic that no one is talking about.

0:24:25.570 --> 0:24:28.990
<v Speaker 3>The college players... who are doing whatever it takes to

0:24:29.030 --> 0:24:32.650
<v Speaker 3>get to the NFL. And then when you don't, you

0:24:32.750 --> 0:24:36.470
<v Speaker 3>just kind of fall into society. But you're in it

0:24:36.590 --> 0:24:41.350
<v Speaker 3>with probably CTE. But I think if they got the

0:24:41.410 --> 0:24:46.949
<v Speaker 3>Guardian helmets to look better, like it looks odd, and

0:24:46.970 --> 0:24:51.310
<v Speaker 3>I get it. But like I said, a hockey mask,

0:24:52.090 --> 0:24:53.770
<v Speaker 3>you imagine the other goalies.

0:24:53.410 --> 0:24:59.119
<v Speaker 2>Going, how soft is he? Or somebody's wearing a batting helmet. Oh, man,

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:04.740
<v Speaker 2>Bond's wearing all that armor. Now we accept it. We're okay.

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:08.700
<v Speaker 3>We pad the walls in NASCAR. Remember that was a

0:25:08.740 --> 0:25:13.859
<v Speaker 3>big deal? Oh, come on. You know, that's not NASCAR.

0:25:14.460 --> 0:25:18.790
<v Speaker 3>We didn't have outfield walls in baseball with padding. You'd

0:25:18.810 --> 0:25:22.489
<v Speaker 3>run into brick at Wrigley Field. Like, who would have

0:25:22.530 --> 0:25:27.310
<v Speaker 3>thought that would be a good idea? Now we pad

0:25:27.350 --> 0:25:33.530
<v Speaker 3>the walls. It seems crazy at the time where you go, yeah,

0:25:33.550 --> 0:25:36.770
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why we didn't pad those. But I

0:25:36.950 --> 0:25:42.380
<v Speaker 3>think it's the aesthetics that may bother people, bother athletes

0:25:42.970 --> 0:25:46.180
<v Speaker 3>of what you wear. But I think if we can

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.560
<v Speaker 3>get past that, boy, it'd be great if you're able

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 3>to reduce that number.

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:50.379
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Paul.

0:25:50.460 --> 0:25:53.020
<v Speaker 6>We went back and looked at adding helmets in baseball.

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 6>It actually started in the early 1900s. But they had

0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:58.380
<v Speaker 6>these leather caps like football had, and the players were

0:25:58.460 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 6>sweating and couldn't deal with it. So they went away.

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:03.590
<v Speaker 6>And then they decided a nice wool cap will protect

0:26:03.609 --> 0:26:06.330
<v Speaker 6>your head for the next 40 years. And then in

0:26:06.350 --> 0:26:08.869
<v Speaker 6>the 50s, it actually started with Little League baseball. They

0:26:08.910 --> 0:26:13.190
<v Speaker 6>mandated protective headgear for all games. And then 1956, the

0:26:13.250 --> 0:26:15.090
<v Speaker 6>National League did it. A couple years later, the American

0:26:15.130 --> 0:26:17.310
<v Speaker 6>League did it. But it took a while, and they

0:26:17.350 --> 0:26:20.510
<v Speaker 6>actually grandfathered players in, kind of like hockey. If you

0:26:20.550 --> 0:26:23.609
<v Speaker 6>started before 1956, you didn't have to wear a helmet.

0:26:23.630 --> 0:26:26.020
<v Speaker 6>It was your choice. Hockey did this as well. It

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:28.689
<v Speaker 6>didn't really become official official until 1971, and everyone had

0:26:28.910 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 6>to wear it.

0:26:29.570 --> 0:26:33.750
<v Speaker 3>And then you look at NFL helmets or football helmets.

0:26:34.410 --> 0:26:36.669
<v Speaker 3>When my father played, he had a leather helmet on,

0:26:36.730 --> 0:26:39.129
<v Speaker 3>no face mask, and he broke his nose nine times.

0:26:40.300 --> 0:26:43.659
<v Speaker 3>So your face is open there. And then all of

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:46.660
<v Speaker 3>a sudden, they had this plastic shield that you would wear.

0:26:47.420 --> 0:26:50.870
<v Speaker 3>I mean, players were dying. They were going to outlaw football.

0:26:51.990 --> 0:26:55.290
<v Speaker 3>Back in the, you know, 1912, Roosevelt, I think, was

0:26:55.369 --> 0:26:58.330
<v Speaker 3>outlawing football because he was so violent. And then all

0:26:58.350 --> 0:27:01.050
<v Speaker 3>of a sudden, you got a helmet. And then you

0:27:01.070 --> 0:27:03.770
<v Speaker 3>got a chin strap. And then you got a mouthpiece.

0:27:04.510 --> 0:27:06.010
<v Speaker 2>And guys with.

0:27:06.109 --> 0:27:09.690
<v Speaker 3>Joe Theismann had the single bar. I'm thinking, that ain't

0:27:09.730 --> 0:27:10.910
<v Speaker 3>protecting anything, Joe.

0:27:11.910 --> 0:27:13.889
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Dylan? Yeah, I think it's.

0:27:13.910 --> 0:27:17.939
<v Speaker 5>Easy to, like, overreact to maybe the advancements and the

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 5>safety of sports in the moment. But then you look back, like...

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, probably X amount of years, people look at

0:27:24.660 --> 0:27:28.980
<v Speaker 5>the Guardian cap and be like, that's all they were wearing? Like, even,

0:27:29.060 --> 0:27:33.140
<v Speaker 5>was it Jerry Cheevers who would draw the stitches on? So, like,

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 5>they wore this mask and got made fun of. You

0:27:35.420 --> 0:27:37.810
<v Speaker 5>were still getting hit in the face with a hockey puck. Like,

0:27:38.140 --> 0:27:40.310
<v Speaker 5>it was still pressed against your face. So, it's like,

0:27:40.950 --> 0:27:42.389
<v Speaker 5>in the moment, it looks weird.

0:27:42.970 --> 0:27:43.490
<v Speaker 6>You evolve.

0:27:44.010 --> 0:27:48.070
<v Speaker 3>And I hope that 30 years from now, people will

0:27:48.109 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 3>look back and go, oh, Also, that's when they started

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:57.330
<v Speaker 3>using the Guardian helmets. And maybe some radio show, if

0:27:57.350 --> 0:27:59.650
<v Speaker 3>they have radio shows, in 30 years from now, we'll

0:27:59.670 --> 0:28:01.669
<v Speaker 3>talk about our show and say, you know, I remember

0:28:01.710 --> 0:28:03.990
<v Speaker 3>when I was growing up and Dan Patrick was calling

0:28:04.010 --> 0:28:04.950
<v Speaker 3>for the Guardian helmet.

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:07.540
<v Speaker 2>Got to make them look a little bit better.

0:28:08.180 --> 0:28:11.020
<v Speaker 3>I think players will be okay because it does look

0:28:11.060 --> 0:28:14.920
<v Speaker 3>like you got a big fishbowl on your shoulders there.

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:20.350
<v Speaker 3>Even shoulder pads. guys don't even wear thigh pads. They

0:28:20.390 --> 0:28:23.950
<v Speaker 3>don't wear knee pads. You'll watch somebody come out and

0:28:23.970 --> 0:28:27.500
<v Speaker 3>I'll be, oh my God, you basically just have a

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 3>pair of pants on. Like you have Capri pants on,

0:28:31.340 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 3>you're out there playing football. So that was, that came

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:41.480
<v Speaker 3>out yesterday. I think it was like British Medical Journal

0:28:41.550 --> 0:28:44.790
<v Speaker 3>that released the information here, but I'm not surprised.

0:28:45.470 --> 0:28:46.510
<v Speaker 2>But it is an epidemic.

0:28:47.630 --> 0:28:51.290
<v Speaker 3>And I have two friends who know they have CTE,

0:28:51.790 --> 0:28:56.700
<v Speaker 3>former players. They know it. They don't acknowledge it. They said,

0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 3>there's nothing I can do. You want to make sure

0:28:59.340 --> 0:29:01.860
<v Speaker 3>you take care of your family. They want to make sure,

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:05.220
<v Speaker 3>and they are in their 50s. They want to make

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:09.770
<v Speaker 3>sure they're not a burden to their families. That's their

0:29:09.830 --> 0:29:12.050
<v Speaker 3>number one thing that they're thinking of when it comes

0:29:12.090 --> 0:29:15.110
<v Speaker 3>to their health. You don't want to be an invalid.

0:29:15.530 --> 0:29:20.660
<v Speaker 3>You don't want to have 24-7 care. But they know

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:26.300
<v Speaker 3>that's probably on the way. You don't know when, but

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:26.740
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:29:26.660 --> 0:29:30.380
<v Speaker 2>It's on the way. And it's hard to be.

0:29:32.770 --> 0:29:35.290
<v Speaker 2>You want to bring it up. I see them slipping.

0:29:35.790 --> 0:29:39.209
<v Speaker 3>I see them when they talk to me, and they'll

0:29:39.590 --> 0:29:42.540
<v Speaker 3>kind of zone out a little bit, or they'll stop.

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 3>The lights bother them. Bright lights really bother them. And

0:29:49.940 --> 0:29:52.500
<v Speaker 3>they don't know how many concussions, because they said, you know,

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.070
<v Speaker 3>we got our bell rung. You know, just a whole

0:29:55.110 --> 0:30:02.270
<v Speaker 3>different mentality. So whenever I see Tua Tonga-Vailoa, I hope

0:30:02.310 --> 0:30:06.170
<v Speaker 3>he's okay. But he's signing up to continue to play this.

0:30:06.230 --> 0:30:11.650
<v Speaker 3>He's getting well compensated. I just don't know. I mean,

0:30:12.190 --> 0:30:13.150
<v Speaker 3>there's inherent risk.

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 2>You know it.

0:30:16.300 --> 0:30:19.500
<v Speaker 3>But it's one of those you really don't know until

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:24.020
<v Speaker 3>somebody you know has it or somebody you know dies,

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:28.070
<v Speaker 3>and then they discover this. That's when it starts to

0:30:28.090 --> 0:30:31.050
<v Speaker 3>hit home. These guys are 24 years old, 25, 26.

0:30:31.050 --> 0:30:38.900
<v Speaker 3>They're not afraid. Or they compartmentalize that. So these numbers,

0:30:40.220 --> 0:30:42.380
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to be numb to them, but I am.

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 3>I just, I'm not surprised.

0:30:46.220 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Marv.

0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, to play devil's advocate a bit, when you see

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:52.660
<v Speaker 4>these guys that they sign up for it, but they

0:30:52.780 --> 0:30:56.610
<v Speaker 4>love the game. They love football. And so a lot

0:30:56.650 --> 0:31:00.530
<v Speaker 4>of times, the game you love and you're getting compensated for,

0:31:00.550 --> 0:31:03.570
<v Speaker 4>it's hard to say, I'm going to stop doing it.

0:31:03.590 --> 0:31:13.230
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I wouldn't stop. I talked to my wife about

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:17.100
<v Speaker 3>my son playing football. And I said, I grew up

0:31:17.140 --> 0:31:19.940
<v Speaker 3>in a football family. But I said, you know, does

0:31:19.980 --> 0:31:24.870
<v Speaker 3>he want to play? And he's big enough now. to

0:31:24.910 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 3>have played, but he wanted to play other sports.

0:31:28.460 --> 0:31:30.100
<v Speaker 2>I was relieved.

0:31:30.340 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 3>I did not want him playing football. But if he

0:31:32.420 --> 0:31:34.580
<v Speaker 3>wanted to play, I was going to be right there

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 3>for him. I get it. If I was good enough

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 3>or I was playing now and I'm making good kind

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:46.510
<v Speaker 3>of money, taking care of my family, yeah. Because we

0:31:46.550 --> 0:31:49.390
<v Speaker 3>all say the same thing. It won't happen to me.

0:31:51.150 --> 0:31:55.670
<v Speaker 3>And you can't play a different way. I couldn't have

0:31:55.730 --> 0:31:59.270
<v Speaker 3>Ronnie Lott play differently. I couldn't have Junior Seau play differently.

0:32:00.450 --> 0:32:06.430
<v Speaker 3>Troy Polamalu, Ray Lewis, Rodney Harrison. This is how they played.

0:32:09.630 --> 0:32:11.650
<v Speaker 3>So when you say, oh, you know, maybe don't use

0:32:11.690 --> 0:32:15.890
<v Speaker 3>your head or don't be whatever. You can't think like that.

0:32:15.970 --> 0:32:18.230
<v Speaker 3>You react when you're on a football field. You react

0:32:18.290 --> 0:32:21.470
<v Speaker 3>as an athlete. You can't go like, oh, wait a minute.

0:32:21.490 --> 0:32:23.890
<v Speaker 3>What am I supposed to do? You don't have time

0:32:23.910 --> 0:32:26.570
<v Speaker 3>to think. It's not golf. You don't have time to think.

0:32:27.230 --> 0:32:29.490
<v Speaker 3>You play the way you've played.

0:32:30.070 --> 0:32:30.530
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Pong.

0:32:30.750 --> 0:32:32.850
<v Speaker 6>And the irony is, if you're not good, you'll stop.

0:32:33.050 --> 0:32:34.810
<v Speaker 6>The game will stop you. Like you get to the

0:32:34.890 --> 0:32:36.580
<v Speaker 6>end of your high school, you're like, nobody wants you

0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:39.140
<v Speaker 6>to play college. It's over. So you cut down those hits.

0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:41.940
<v Speaker 6>But now the money in pro football is getting bigger

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 6>and bigger. So if you have a good first few years, yeah,

0:32:45.420 --> 0:32:47.620
<v Speaker 6>I'll sign up for five more years. Five more years

0:32:47.660 --> 0:32:50.830
<v Speaker 6>of hits, but you're getting $ 25 million a year. There's

0:32:50.870 --> 0:32:52.050
<v Speaker 6>not an incentive for you to stop.

0:32:52.530 --> 0:32:54.890
<v Speaker 3>The better you are, the more likely it is you'll

0:32:54.930 --> 0:32:58.490
<v Speaker 3>have CTE. We'll take a break. Play of the Day next.

0:33:28.050 --> 0:33:29.170
<v Speaker 5>Good night.

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:38.380
<v Speaker 13>It's a game-winner for Ryan Waldschmidt. Two-run homer, his second

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:43.490
<v Speaker 13>walk-off home run this season, and the Diamondbacks stun the

0:33:43.570 --> 0:33:45.520

0:33:46.050 --> 0:33:50.290

0:34:13.590 --> 0:34:15.670
<v Speaker 2>Chris in Syracuse. Hi, Chris. What do you have?

0:34:17.150 --> 0:34:18.810
<v Speaker 8>Hey, thanks, Danny. I got a couple things for you.

0:34:19.489 --> 0:34:22.270
<v Speaker 8>Last segment, it never dawned on me until now, when

0:34:22.310 --> 0:34:26.350
<v Speaker 8>I was a kid, The media was all over President

0:34:26.390 --> 0:34:28.410
<v Speaker 8>Ford making fun of him that he couldn't chew gum

0:34:28.469 --> 0:34:29.090
<v Speaker 8>and walk.

0:34:28.850 --> 0:34:29.609
<v Speaker 12>At the same time.

0:34:29.630 --> 0:34:32.609
<v Speaker 8>I was thinking maybe that's from those leather helmets that

0:34:32.650 --> 0:34:35.370
<v Speaker 8>he wore four years playing center at Michigan. And I

0:34:35.410 --> 0:34:38.110
<v Speaker 8>can't remember where I heard it, but that Thornton Mellon

0:34:38.210 --> 0:34:40.549
<v Speaker 8>in his triple Lindy back in the 80s was the

0:34:40.660 --> 0:34:43.759
<v Speaker 8>original student athlete going back to school. I guess that

0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:48.570
<v Speaker 8>makes Sam Kinison, Lane Kiffinson. And I also heard This year,

0:34:48.730 --> 0:34:52.069
<v Speaker 8>over 10,000 football players in Division I, II, and III

0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:56.240
<v Speaker 8>entered the transfer portal. That number seems almost impossible. And lastly,

0:34:56.340 --> 0:34:59.160
<v Speaker 8>Notre Dame, Alabama, the Raiders and the NFL have never

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:02.140
<v Speaker 8>retired a player's numbers. A lot of players on those

0:35:02.180 --> 0:35:08.029
<v Speaker 8>teams were great. And USC only retired Heisman numbers. Mike Garrett,

0:35:08.140 --> 0:35:10.910
<v Speaker 8>who wanted a Heisman at USC, let a freshman who

0:35:10.950 --> 0:35:14.209
<v Speaker 8>wanted his number have it, and no problem. And, well,

0:35:14.530 --> 0:35:16.969
<v Speaker 8>Matt Leiner, and I think it was, was adamant about

0:35:17.150 --> 0:35:19.489
<v Speaker 8>not letting a kid have his number, similar to how

0:35:19.550 --> 0:35:23.509
<v Speaker 8>Jaden Daniels has been. And I wonder, I mean... Retired

0:35:23.570 --> 0:35:25.610
<v Speaker 8>number or not a retired number, I mean, it's a

0:35:25.670 --> 0:35:28.690
<v Speaker 8>school number. It's not the players. I think the school

0:35:28.710 --> 0:35:31.310
<v Speaker 8>should be ultimately the one to make the decision.

0:35:31.790 --> 0:35:32.280
<v Speaker 9>I do, too.

0:35:32.739 --> 0:35:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Chris. Matt Leinart will join us, final hour

0:35:34.980 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 2>of the program. David in Ohio.

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:37.980
<v Speaker 8>Hi, David.

0:35:39.980 --> 0:35:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Dan.

0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:43.180
<v Speaker 8>Happy Pizza Wednesday. I just had a comment about the

0:35:43.219 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 8>mug shots you guys were talking about yesterday.

0:35:45.060 --> 0:35:49.270
<v Speaker 9>I think Marvin possibly got his because he used his

0:35:49.330 --> 0:35:52.109
<v Speaker 9>tiny hands to get out of the policeman's handcuffs.

0:35:52.510 --> 0:35:53.089
<v Speaker 6>So, thank you.

0:35:56.190 --> 0:35:57.450
<v Speaker 2>Did the handcuffs slip off?

0:35:57.469 --> 0:35:59.350
<v Speaker 4>A little tighter than normal.

0:35:59.630 --> 0:35:59.830
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:36:01.070 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 2>They're like, ooh, let's try this again. The gift that

0:36:07.820 --> 0:36:10.980
<v Speaker 2>keeps on giving. Fresh in Milwaukee.

0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 9>Hi, Fresh.

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 2>What do you have for me today?

0:36:14.500 --> 0:36:18.100
<v Speaker 9>Hey, what's up, DP and Danette? How you guys doing

0:36:18.180 --> 0:36:19.020
<v Speaker 9>on the Wednesday?

0:36:19.500 --> 0:36:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Great, Fresh.

0:36:21.430 --> 0:36:24.489
<v Speaker 9>Awesome. I got a question. On the cusp of this

0:36:24.610 --> 0:36:29.850
<v Speaker 9>college football season, if we are talking the greatest offensive

0:36:29.910 --> 0:36:32.810
<v Speaker 9>and defensive players ever in college, what names are we

0:36:32.850 --> 0:36:33.370
<v Speaker 9>bringing up?

0:36:35.790 --> 0:36:37.390
<v Speaker 2>Oh, there's way too many.

0:36:39.060 --> 0:36:42.830
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Joe Burrow statistically, I think, had the greatest

0:36:43.030 --> 0:36:47.310
<v Speaker 3>college football season for a quarterback. But I could put

0:36:47.430 --> 0:36:51.990
<v Speaker 3>in Cam Newton. I mean, what Cam Newton did, I mean,

0:36:52.010 --> 0:36:58.520
<v Speaker 3>that was– do it at Auburn, that was magical. Johnny

0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:00.460
<v Speaker 3>Manziel led the SEC in rushing.

0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:02.520
<v Speaker 6>At quarterback.

0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:07.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Like, they're– There's a lot of incredible season. So

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:16.770
<v Speaker 3>I don't think you could have a goat. Defensively, yeah, Marv.

0:37:17.910 --> 0:37:20.850
<v Speaker 4>And Dominick can sue. He probably could have won the

0:37:20.890 --> 0:37:21.710
<v Speaker 4>Heisman that year.

0:37:22.270 --> 0:37:22.810
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

0:37:24.830 --> 0:37:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I go back to Pittsburgh with Hugh Green. I think

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:32.840
<v Speaker 3>he might have finished second in the Heisman. There are

0:37:33.140 --> 0:37:34.220
<v Speaker 3>just way too many players.

0:37:34.630 --> 0:37:35.590
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Dylan.

0:37:36.070 --> 0:37:38.000
<v Speaker 5>Charles Woodson didn't win the Heisman.

0:37:38.020 --> 0:37:39.879
<v Speaker 2>There you go. Bloop, bloop.

0:37:41.100 --> 0:37:44.980
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Rodgers says, I think Charles Woodson, greatest player he

0:37:45.020 --> 0:37:49.690
<v Speaker 3>ever played with, maybe an against, which you might not

0:37:49.750 --> 0:37:52.469
<v Speaker 3>get as much of an argument as you think because

0:37:52.690 --> 0:37:55.350
<v Speaker 3>they're great respect for Charles Woodson.

0:37:55.710 --> 0:37:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for the phone call, Fresh. Andrew in Washington. Hi, Andrew.

0:38:01.150 --> 0:38:02.350
<v Speaker 12>Good morning, Dan Danette.

0:38:02.390 --> 0:38:03.850
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for taking my call.

0:38:04.190 --> 0:38:06.049
<v Speaker 12>Something that came to mind when you were talking about

0:38:06.070 --> 0:38:10.280
<v Speaker 12>the CTE and the head injuries was the DeMar Hamlin injury,

0:38:10.660 --> 0:38:12.779
<v Speaker 12>where he almost passed away on the field, was not

0:38:12.900 --> 0:38:16.000
<v Speaker 12>due to necessarily a head injury. It was him getting

0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 12>hit in the chest. I wonder if that wouldn't have...

0:38:18.790 --> 0:38:21.090
<v Speaker 12>turned out the way it was for DeMar Hamlin, if

0:38:21.110 --> 0:38:24.130
<v Speaker 12>we would have seen some protective differences for the chest

0:38:24.190 --> 0:38:26.810
<v Speaker 12>area since there was a noticeable effect on the field.

0:38:27.150 --> 0:38:29.310
<v Speaker 12>We don't really see the noticeable effects of CP on

0:38:29.330 --> 0:38:31.340
<v Speaker 12>the field. It's done later. Like you said, do we

0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 12>even keep in contact with these players? But that was

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:35.660
<v Speaker 12>just a thought that came to mind. I do have

0:38:35.700 --> 0:38:37.940
<v Speaker 12>a stat of the day as well. There was another

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:41.440
<v Speaker 12>game-winning home run last night. Jaron Durant hit an 11th-inning

0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:43.779
<v Speaker 12>grand slam to give the Red Sox the 7-3 win

0:38:43.800 --> 0:38:46.980
<v Speaker 12>over the Marlins, which pushed Boston's win streak to five games.

0:38:47.380 --> 0:38:49.759
<v Speaker 12>The last extra inning grand slam hit by a Red

0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:54.319
<v Speaker 12>Sox player was over four years ago on May 22, 2022.

0:38:54.320 --> 0:38:57.319
<v Speaker 12>Can anyone in the name, anybody in the room, name

0:38:57.340 --> 0:38:59.399
<v Speaker 12>the Boston Red Sox player to hit that extra inning

0:38:59.420 --> 0:38:59.980
<v Speaker 12>grand slam?

0:39:02.219 --> 0:39:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Paul.

0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:03.420
<v Speaker 6>Mookie Betts?

0:39:04.900 --> 0:39:05.360
<v Speaker 12>No.

0:39:07.380 --> 0:39:09.879
<v Speaker 2>Any other offers here?

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:11.500
<v Speaker 8>Nope.

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:12.299
<v Speaker 2>Give it to me, Andrew.

0:39:13.060 --> 0:39:14.550
<v Speaker 12>All right, I didn't think anybody would get it. It

0:39:14.590 --> 0:39:16.169
<v Speaker 12>was Frenchie Cordero.

0:39:16.430 --> 0:39:19.630
<v Speaker 3>Of course. Todd, you should have gone with it. I

0:39:19.670 --> 0:39:23.660
<v Speaker 3>know you thought about it. Always go, like on the SAT,

0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:27.530
<v Speaker 3>go with your first answer there. Thank you, Andrew. Zach

0:39:27.570 --> 0:39:28.190
<v Speaker 3>in Knoxville.

0:39:28.210 --> 0:39:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Zach. Hey, DP.

0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:33.640
<v Speaker 7>Thanks for taking my call. We're all mourning the loss

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.570
<v Speaker 7>of Dolly here in Tennessee, but at the end of

0:39:36.590 --> 0:39:39.790
<v Speaker 7>the last break, we're on the basketball court, and Marvin

0:39:40.350 --> 0:39:43.310
<v Speaker 7>missed a layup as he was walking away, and I

0:39:43.350 --> 0:39:45.989
<v Speaker 7>just was wondering, like, I have this thing called court

0:39:46.030 --> 0:39:48.630
<v Speaker 7>manners where, like, When I'm done shooting, I.

0:39:48.870 --> 0:39:50.070
<v Speaker 9>Have to hit a shot.

0:39:50.090 --> 0:39:52.680
<v Speaker 7>Do you have any rituals that you do before or

0:39:52.800 --> 0:39:54.260
<v Speaker 7>after you're playing ball?

0:39:54.880 --> 0:40:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Got to make your last shot. Absolutely. And Marvin, you

0:40:00.460 --> 0:40:03.279
<v Speaker 2>walked off after missing a layup. Yeah, Marvin.

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:05.020
<v Speaker 4>Kind of had to get back to my thing called

0:40:05.060 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 4>my job.

0:40:06.260 --> 0:40:06.719
<v Speaker 12>I don't know.

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.220
<v Speaker 3>I would have allowed you to be late if you

0:40:09.260 --> 0:40:11.270
<v Speaker 3>were going to. Well, as long as it didn't take

0:40:11.290 --> 0:40:13.690
<v Speaker 3>you that long to make that last shot.

0:40:14.050 --> 0:40:14.549
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Dylan.

0:40:15.070 --> 0:40:17.150
<v Speaker 5>See, I usually leave on a miss, because if I

0:40:17.190 --> 0:40:18.650
<v Speaker 5>make it, I'm going to want to try another one.

0:40:18.670 --> 0:40:20.690
<v Speaker 5>I usually brick it, and then I'm like, all right,

0:40:20.710 --> 0:40:20.989
<v Speaker 5>I'm done.

0:40:21.170 --> 0:40:21.589
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Paul.

0:40:21.850 --> 0:40:23.830
<v Speaker 6>Is it like that with golfers on the driving range

0:40:23.890 --> 0:40:25.770
<v Speaker 6>before they start a round? You want to pipe one

0:40:25.870 --> 0:40:27.370
<v Speaker 6>and then put it in the bag and go?

0:40:28.530 --> 0:40:28.870
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:40:29.730 --> 0:40:31.529
<v Speaker 6>You wouldn't want to spray one and say, I got

0:40:31.550 --> 0:40:32.360
<v Speaker 6>to get one more swing.

0:40:33.020 --> 0:40:33.540
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah.

0:40:33.780 --> 0:40:37.219
<v Speaker 3>You can't leave on a topper. Worm burner is what

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:40.120
<v Speaker 3>we used to say. Dylan will be in the confessional

0:40:40.340 --> 0:40:42.940
<v Speaker 3>coming up at the top of the hour. I'm guessing

0:40:42.980 --> 0:40:46.480
<v Speaker 3>the topic will be your mugshot. I believe it's called

0:40:46.540 --> 0:40:47.780
<v Speaker 3>a deposition in this case.

0:40:49.660 --> 0:40:52.420
<v Speaker 2>Deposed. All right.

0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:55.219
<v Speaker 3>One hour in the books. Matt Leinart will join us

0:40:55.260 --> 0:40:58.189
<v Speaker 3>coming up in an hour from now. The Big Ten

0:40:58.230 --> 0:41:00.650
<v Speaker 3>and SEC, I guess all the other conferences are going

0:41:00.690 --> 0:41:03.850
<v Speaker 3>to rally together and make sure that we don't have those.

0:41:04.330 --> 0:41:06.250
<v Speaker 3>College players going to the pros coming back.

0:41:06.730 --> 0:41:07.330
<v Speaker 2>What are they going to.

0:41:07.300 --> 0:41:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Do about the professional players playing basketball in Europe who

0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:13.560
<v Speaker 3>are coming and have been coming to play college basketball here?

0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:17.950
<v Speaker 3>That's been happening for quite some time now. Are they

0:41:17.969 --> 0:41:20.850
<v Speaker 3>going to address that anytime soon? One hour in the

0:41:20.890 --> 0:41:24.360
<v Speaker 3>books on this pizza Wednesday. Back after this.
