1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to a Friday. I had 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: the under welcome to the show, Dan and the Dane's 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick's Show. It's a meat Friday, chicken pot pie. 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Fritzie wanted it, my best friend, and I made sure 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: that he got it. I'm excited it came through for him. 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: But then I also have to come through with another pie, 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: blueberry pie. Yeah, you have to take it to the 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: face later on to it if it doesn't all fall 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: on the floor, if it hits my face, yes, yes 11 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: you do. So. It's a chicken pot pie, but a 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: blueberry pie that Todd will take to the face, maybe 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: both of him. He'll take to the face later on, 14 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: paying off a bet because we had one of our 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: listeners who said Washington would make the playoffs, and Todd 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: took the best. Peterson all right, we'll have a stat 17 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: of the day. We got a play of the day. 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: We'll come up with a pole question. Here are good buddy. 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: Sean Salisbury will join us on loan from Houston. We'll 20 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: talk about Deshaun Watson. That story ramped up quickly yesterday 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: final hour. I see something on Pro football talk Mike 22 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: Florio talk about Deshaun Watson starting to hear some rumors, 23 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: whispers that he wants out. Next thing, I know, the 24 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: whole afternoon was set for programming for all of these shows. 25 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how real it is, you know, Mike said, Hey, 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm sort of hearing from people that maybe you don't 27 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: normally hear from to talk about Deshaun Watson. To me, 28 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: this feels like this is an agent driven story. You 29 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: might be upset. Are you really upset that you want out? 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: And what's the likelihood that Houston would trade arguably one 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: of the top five quarterbacks in the game. So we'll 32 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: talk to Sean Salisbury about that. The Vikings wide receiver 33 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Adam Feeling he wants to be our postseason analyst here 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: on the show. We'll give him an audition here see 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: if he's ready to go for the big time here. 36 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: But he'll join us a little bit later on eight 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: seven seven three d P Show email address DP at 38 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com, Twitter hand at dp's show. We 39 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: had a lot of things that we discussed yesterday. Thanks 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: for your patients. As we tried to navigate that in 41 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: a professional manner, I did mention something yesterday that I 42 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: had information on the National title game, but I held 43 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: off the day before sending that out, obviously with what 44 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: was going on in our nation's capital. And then brought 45 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: up some of that information that I found out yesterday. 46 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: And it has to do with is there going to 47 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: be a national title game? As of right now at 48 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: nine oh three Eastern, this game is still being played. 49 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: But here's some things just to keep an eye on. 50 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: It may be nothing, but then it may be something. 51 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: COVID testing taking place today. What I was told yesterday, 52 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: Ohio State may have upwards of twenty positive tests and 53 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: a couple of their starters on the defensive line. Now, 54 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: it could get better, but it could get worse. I 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: was also told that the Big Ten and Ohio State 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: did reach out to the SEC to try to postpone this. 57 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: They were told no. I was told that they reached 58 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: out to Alabama a little more receptive to that possibility. 59 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: This may not be anything. They may be playing the 60 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: football game. I'm just telling you what I found out. Okay, 61 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: So this was the possibility of Ohio State inching closer 62 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: and closer towards the availability limit. That's the big issue here. 63 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: I was also told this Alabama's basically saying, boo hoo, hey, 64 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: we've played a full schedule, we played a game against 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, We've lost players were ready to play. You 66 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: guys should be ready to play now. That's what my 67 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: source said. Hey, we played, you guys haven't been playing. 68 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: We took care of our business. You take care of 69 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: your business now. Maybe there is nothing that happened with this. 70 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: Maybe we get as close to a level playing field 71 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: with the number of players available. Maybe there's no more 72 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: positive test here with Ohio State, but that is what 73 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: is going on right now. Also, I was told that, 74 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 1: you know, they lose two starters on the defensive line, 75 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: but it's not like they don't have thirteen or fourteen 76 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: other defensive players to play on the line. So that's 77 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: the information I got yesterday and last night. That goes 78 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: along with what we talked about yesterday on the show. Yes, PAULI, 79 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm really curious whom would make the final decision if 80 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: things went poorly for a house stay today. Would it 81 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: be to the two conferences? The College Football Playoff Committee 82 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: Mark Emert of the nca ESPN. Is it a collaborative 83 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: effort or is there one person who says, like Roger 84 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: Goodell would make a decision, that is our person like that. 85 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if there is when it comes to 86 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: the National Title Game. The Playoff Committee, we don't know 87 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: who they are. As far as you know, it's Bill Hancock, 88 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: who is sort of the a singular voice there that 89 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: we usually see. But you know they're they're advocating for 90 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: a postponement, or they did advocate for a postponement. I 91 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: don't know if they still are. I think they Ohio 92 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: State and the Big Ten want to see what happens 93 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: today with the COVID testing here. But you get the 94 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: rapid testing and you're gonna get results, and then we're 95 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: going to find out just how fully assembled Ohio State 96 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: will be. Plus, Jalen Waddle is going to play from 97 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: what I'm told, the Alabama wide receiver will play in 98 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: the Monday Night title Game. I found out a couple 99 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: of other things college football wise, Tennessee's being investigated, and 100 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: this is not good for Jeremy Proot. Now we discussed 101 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: this in the spring where all of a sudden we 102 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: saw woit. Tennessee got a four star record on they 103 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: got a five start, they got another four star. I go, oh, 104 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: you can't make it this obvious. Can't make it this obvious. 105 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: It's like um ole, miss ole, miss did this a 106 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, Robert kim DJ remember they got 107 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: those guys and tread well. We went, oh, you gotta 108 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: be careful, too much, too soon at a program that 109 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 1: normally doesn't get these players. So Jeremy Pruitt is probably 110 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: will walk in a fine line here if he's going 111 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: to be able to hold on to that job, from 112 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: what I'm told, And I think Philip Fulmer, the athletic director, 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: is going to come under fire here as well. But 114 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: let me see what else do I have here at 115 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: a busy day yesterday. Let's see. So it's it's for 116 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: they're investigating for cause at Tennessee, which means show cause, 117 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: which means they can fire Jeremy Pruitt. And I was 118 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: also told that may cause Philip Fulmer his job as well. 119 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: I was also told, well, I'm such I'm full of 120 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: such great news. Yesterday I was also told Tennessee was 121 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: on the clock being investigated. Next in the on deck circle, Georgia. 122 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: I was told Georgia got sloppy this year. You're in 123 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: recruiting and or maybe it's been a couple of years, 124 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: but you've got the NCAA is looking at Georgia as well. 125 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Just something to keep an eye on. That's everything that 126 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm telling you is what I was told yesterday by 127 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: my source, in fact, two sources on the Ohio State stuff. 128 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: But keep an eye on it. Maybe there's nothing here, 129 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: maybe there's nothing at Tennessee, there's nothing at Georgia. I 130 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: can only tell you what is happening in real time 131 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: behind the scenes here, and that Ohio State in the 132 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: Big Ten did reach out to the SEC and Alabama 133 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: and right now, as of right now, they're playing the 134 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: national title game. Monday's long way away, three and a 135 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: half days, and you have the COVID testing done this morning. Yes, Paul, 136 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: it's fast at college football. I mean, I know the 137 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: NFL has a lot of storylines, but man, college football, 138 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: that's the fact that it's Friday and we don't know 139 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: if the National Title Game has been played. And you know, 140 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: this could happened in the Super Bowl when there's downtime 141 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: and travel, and you know what happened in the World Series. 142 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: It's such a surreal years. You know, the World series 143 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: that a guy pulled during the game. By the way, 144 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: this program is brought to you by Built Bar.

They're 154 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: so good these days. Okay, we are all debating on 155 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: the side the games, the wildcard games. We all made 156 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: our predictions, but my question is, what is the most 157 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: likely blowout of the weekend. What's the game where you 158 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: don't have to watch because it's gonna be lopsided Bills 159 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: over Colts, Steelers over Browns, Saints over Bears, or Bucks 160 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: over the Washington football team. What's the one that you 161 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: think is most likely to be lopsided You don't have 162 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: to make a prediction. I'm just saying, like, which one 163 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: can you see getting away? Yeah, but then I have 164 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: to make a prediction. No, no, no, you're just you're 165 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: not You're saying I'm not making my prediction. But I 166 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: can see how this game could unplay where once this 167 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: team gets rolling, they're going to really go at it. Well. 168 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: It feels like Buffalo has an ability as of late. 169 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: It also feels like I don't know what to expect 170 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: out of the Bears going into New Orleans. Washington could 171 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: make it ugly to keep it close. I just don't 172 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: think they have enough offense for Tampa Bay. I think 173 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: if that game was in Tampa Bay, then I would 174 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: say that that would be the blowout there. They're not 175 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: even sure who their quarterback is going to be. Imagine this, 176 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: We're going into wild card weekend and you're not sure 177 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: what's happening with the Rams, although I do think Jared 178 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: Golf is going to start against Seattle and with Washington, 179 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: we're not sure, quite sure if Alex Smith is going 180 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: to be able to play. Yeah, pulling the Bears early 181 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: in the season took the Saints to overtime, lost by 182 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: three with Nick Foles at the Helm and Drew Brees 183 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: was healthy. New Yeah. Uh, let's see. The Athletic is 184 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: reporting Michigan and Jim Harball close to finalizing a five 185 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: year deal expected to be four million dollars bass salary. 186 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: With incentives, he could get back to the eight million 187 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: dollars buyout is expected to be low. Harball hasn't signed, 188 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: is expected too soon. Well, there you go, Ohio State. 189 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: Things are looking up. There, there's some there's some good 190 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: news for you. I'll take a couple of negative COVID 191 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: tests for that. If I'm a Buckeye fan, turn a while. 192 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: But we got some good news for Ohio State fans 193 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: can find another d N eighteen five star guys backing 194 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: them up. Oh, A little bit of sun just burst 195 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: through those clouds. Yep, that's what I do. I bring 196 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: some I knew, I knew we had some sunshine on 197 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: the way. Do you like that? Jim Harball? It appears 198 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: from some of the story worries that he volunteerily took 199 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: a pay cut and then sent that's more insane. He 200 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: could still make his money, but it's much more incentive 201 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: based than flat salary. I think I respect that. Well, 202 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if he had a choice, right, Well, 203 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: he could not sign it and just go go away. Yeah, 204 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: but then you make zero dollars. Well, he could get 205 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: another job. But if you want to stay there, the 206 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: competitor in you and that's your alma mater. Um. Okay, 207 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: I mean he should take a pay cut, earn your incentives. Yeah, yeah, McLeman. 208 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the last couple of Michigan coaches. It 209 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: was rich Rod and Brady Hope. Are you sure Michigan 210 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: had its better options than Harbor at this point? Do they? 211 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: Is that a team that gets like the urban Myer type? Said, well, 212 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: what happens is you want to hire a Michigan man. Yeah, 213 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: that's where you get in trouble. You gotta have a 214 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: Michigan man here. Brady Hope is not a head coach. 215 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: Rich Rod had his moment, and I think offensively they 216 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: thought they were going to be creative. They were gonna, 217 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, do some real damage there, and that didn't 218 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: work out either. But when you go, we gotta get 219 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: a Michigan man, we gotta Okay, didn't they do that with? Uh? 220 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: Remember when Bill Freeder? Bill Freeder was taken the job. 221 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: Was that right? During the tournament and then he was 222 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: gonna go to Arizona State, and then Steve Fisher got 223 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: the job. They're like, we won a Michigan Yeah, and 224 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: they won the national title too, But yeah, Michigan, you 225 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: know with boshm. Beckler and you gotta have a Michigan 226 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: guy in there. Yes, yes, but at least hardb I 227 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: had a super Bowl under his belly. He compared to 228 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: Brady Hoke, he's Lombardi. I mean, I'm sorry not go on, 229 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: still one of our great great I think I did 230 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: I ask about urban Meyer with that quote from Freddy 231 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: You asked him about how do you feel about the 232 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Buckeyes hiring urban Meyer? Mate? Seton? Do you have the 233 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: whole exchange? You know? Good? Sorry, I thought I had 234 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: the question in you know, like I see Brady sounds 235 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: like a cartoon, like he's a character, you know, in 236 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: a movie or something like Chris Farley could have played 237 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: Brady Hope. Hey, Brady, how do you feel about playing 238 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: Urban Meyer in Ohio State? Remember the big story Brady 239 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: Hoope was he was on the sidelines with no headset. 240 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: He's just hanging out watching the game. What a gag? 241 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: Can't they give you a headset, but it's not hooked 242 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: up to anything. We didn't you ask him. They had 243 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: like a big play and you asked him, like, what 244 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: was the call there on that? He's like, well, you 245 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: know what, I don't know. They got around to being like, 246 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I 247 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: don't call this place. Yeah, I wasn't even wearing a headset. 248 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: They don't clue me in on anything. He's screaming, come on, guys, 249 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: and the sidelines. That's all I think. That's all he does. 250 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: Go it was a good time. Come on, we're going 251 00:13:53,520 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: out there and win, win, win, win. Not halftime speech 252 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: is awesome. I know what's happened during the game. Yeah, 253 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: well it is a wild Card weekend, putting the wild 254 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: into wild Card weekend, and you got playoff expansion. So 255 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: first year that we've had twelve teams playing opening weekend, 256 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: and we obviously have the COVID issues. Then you have 257 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: the injuries, significant ones. The Browns are playing without their 258 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: head coach, the Rams and Washington football team, uncertainty at 259 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: their quarterbacking position. Then you got guys who were going 260 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: to play but won't be one hundred percent. Jamal Adams 261 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: in Seattle, Michael Thomas in New Orleans, Mike Evans with 262 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. It feels like every team is dealing with something. 263 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: And the other key difference this year is the lack 264 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: of crowds. Because you fight all year, you want to 265 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: have that home field advantage. You don't really have that 266 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: home field advantage. Good luck for all of you out 267 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: there who love to wager on these games, because you 268 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: got to factor in a lot of things. Normally, you'd go, 269 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: Seattle's playing at home in the playoffs and they're only 270 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: favored by three and a half. You load up on 271 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: Sea Battle, right, that just feels like it's last possession 272 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: kind of game. It's just no matter. It's never a 273 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: clean game with Seattle. Where you go and they won 274 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty one, it's always nineteen to nine 275 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: or something and they're losing, and then we go, ah, 276 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: here comes Russ. He's got to make some magic app 277 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: in here. And then Washington a talented defense fund defense. 278 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: But this is the playoffs, and I wouldn't bet against 279 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. They should win this game. But it's like 280 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: New Orleans in Chicago is strangely intriguing for me just 281 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: because they played already. True Whisky is playing good. Good. 282 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: They seem to play well against good teams in New Orleans. 283 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what I have in Drew Brees Michael Thomas. 284 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: Defense is good. I don't have that home field advantage. 285 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: So somebody who's going to be shocked on Monday morning, 286 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna go. Can you believe that happened? There'll be 287 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: at least one of those games. It feels like all right. 288 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: Phone calls are always welcome.

Mcleven, 294 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: do you have a pull question before we take a break. Yeah, 295 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put up most likely blowout, and I'm gonna 296 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: bet the room that the Bills are that team because 297 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: Philip rivers cold Weather. Oh boy, yeah, but you're you're 298 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: you're leading the witness. I'm leading the witness. Well, nobody 299 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: listens to me. They only listen to what you say, Okay, 300 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: but actually the early leader. A lot of people have 301 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: bear Saints as a potential blot too, But I agree 302 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: with you, this is tricky. Yeah. It's one of those 303 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: where and I always go back when I used to gamble, 304 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: and you'd go, oh, that's so obvious. And when it's obvious, 305 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: I always get a rus about it because you know 306 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna blow him out. They're just times when you go, 307 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: how did that happen? It's like when the Jets beat 308 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: the Rams and you go, how did that happen? Well, 309 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: how did that happen? Minnesota beating Green Bay? How did 310 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: that happen? Yeah, mclem if you're a betting or an analyst, 311 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: how do you know what precentage Jamal Adams is with 312 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: his shoulder and like all the code and Kimara can't practice, 313 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: it feels really hard to make a smart pick. Well, 314 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill coming back from a concussion, Like, I'm just 315 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: there's there's uncertainty there. That's like if you're trying to 316 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: figure out if the Browns can beat the Steelers without 317 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: their head coach and starting offensive guard, good luck with that, 318 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: And then trying to figure out if Ben Roethlisberger can 319 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: play at a high level anymore. He hasn't had a 320 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: good game I think he's had a half of a 321 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: game since Thanksgiving. We haven't really seen much out of Ben. 322 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: Defense isn't what it once was. They don't run the football. 323 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: They're gonna throw the ball forty five times here.

How big did this get in Houston? There? Sean? 332 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,479 Speaker 1: First off, Dan, was I not in that playoff? Let 333 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: me let me I've want thirty less than Brady. You 334 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: you never won a playoff game? I bet it as 335 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: a starter. Note the Cup. I won the Cup, the 336 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: Great Cup, the Great Cup. There you go the playoff games, 337 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: but I didn't win one. As a starter, I got 338 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: us there, but I didn't win one. Let's just put 339 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: it that way, Brady, whoever won a Great Cup? You 340 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: know what, that's a one heck of a point. Yeah, 341 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: So who's better or Brady? That's what you gotta as 342 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: you are better in Canada and Brady is, yeah, I've 343 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: got I've got far more in the north of the 344 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: boarder than Brady does. Dan, you asked me about Watson. 345 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: First of all, my head's gonna explode over this. Okay, 346 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: in a Houston season when there wasn't much going on 347 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: in any of the sports, we've got hardened wants out. 348 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: The Astros had to go through what they went through 349 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: and self inflicted and now the best, the second best 350 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: building franchise player in this league, we're talking about being 351 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: unhappy now and cal McNair promised him that he'd at 352 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: least have some input. I get his frustration. If you're 353 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: gonna say something, live by it. If not, then don't 354 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: talk to the quarterback. Just let him do his thing. 355 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: Deshaun's not getting traded. Golf got two ones, two twos 356 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: and two threes, Dane, this is herschel Walker Hall. Because 357 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: if I took DeShawn Watson and stuck him in Kansas City, 358 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: and I think Mahomes is the best in the league. 359 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm talking about building franchise for the next seven to 360 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: ten years. That the Kansas City Chiefs would still be 361 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: the number one seed in fourteen and two or thirteen 362 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: three if Watson was there, If Mahomes was in Houston, 363 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: the Texans would still be four and twelve. So I'm 364 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: just telling you that the distance between one and two 365 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: is closer than the distance between the second and third 366 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: best franchise builder in this league. You cannot trade Deshaun Watson. 367 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: I know he should be frustrated, the ownership is dysfunctional. 368 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: He's eric the enemy should get an interview. But you 369 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: can't trade him because unless you want to give me 370 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: eleven players or three ones, two twos, a starter and 371 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: another starter, I'm not even answering your damn phone call. Yeah, 372 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: but if Watson wants out, well, Dan, he's under contract 373 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: for what five years. He's a forty million dollars a 374 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: year player with his DNA and his character. Okay, let's 375 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: say it's August and they haven't traded him. Let's just 376 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: for fun, say that you think he's not shown. Name 377 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: me a quarterback who's in his mid twenties. In the 378 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: history of this game, the number one. We've even thought 379 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: about trading as an elite franchise quarter back or who's 380 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: held out of camp for when you're making that money, 381 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: you find me one. It's it's not gonna happen. But 382 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: what's management dude to appease him? Sean, how about just 383 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: simply call him up. We'll give you input in Oh, 384 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: by the way, we'll interview Eric the Enemy. It doesn't 385 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: cost that much to interview a guy who, by all standards, 386 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: is not only prepared, is ringing endorsements from Andy, from 387 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes and from Deshaun Watson and around like other 388 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: people are interviewing Eric the Enemy. What's it take? Dan? 389 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: Put him on a corporate plane or get on zoom 390 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: and find out what you need to know for two hours. 391 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: I don't think the GM Nick Cassario has anything to 392 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: do with Deshaun's frustration. I think it's the dysfunction of 393 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: the constant one thing do another. Deshaun should be frustrated, 394 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't it be they paid him, so he got paid. 395 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: Put some players around him, which is gonna be Nick 396 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: Cassario's job. But Dan number just bring in a guy 397 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: at least interview the guy. You don't have to let 398 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: Deshaun hire the guy. But Deshaun should have some input, 399 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't he all your great place should have some input. 400 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: I don't think Ben Roethlisberger has input. I don't think 401 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: Drew Brees has input. Brady didn't have in Okay. If 402 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: they were gonna trade Michael Thomas, you don't think that 403 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: Sean Payton would have the respect or if they were 404 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: going to trade DK metcalf in Seattle, you don't. I 405 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: didn't say make the decision. You don't think at least 406 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: the text mess and we're considering doing this, what do 407 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: you think? Do you? Dan? I'll tell you this. I'll 408 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: tell you this, and this honest to god truth. When 409 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: I was in San Diego and I'm no player, there's 410 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: about eight of us that our general manager in San Diego, 411 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: and Bobby Ross was on his way out, called us 412 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: in to ask what we thought about the possible new replacement. 413 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: A guys who'd been in the league a while and 414 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: I now listen, I ain't wasn't exactly your starter for 415 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: ten years called us in and wanted and Bobby Bethard 416 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: and we didn't make the decision. He just wanted some 417 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: input for guys that were there because he loved Bobby Ross, 418 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: and we did some input. So why wouldn't you And 419 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: if you're not given input, I don't believe in letting 420 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: them make a decision Brady Manning, Watson, Wilson, But I do. 421 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I have Lebron James at least give me 422 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: some insight. Why wouldn't I let just Shaun Watson give 423 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: me insight? I just signed him for two hundred or 424 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five million bucks and then go 425 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: make your decision? And what does it cost to interview 426 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: a guy to appease the guy who quite frankly is 427 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: a top three player in his position in this league. 428 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have given him that, Hey, we're going to 429 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: consult with you, I promise initially. Amen, yes exactly. But 430 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: if you give it to him, then you can't go, well, 431 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna let you be consulted on certain things, but 432 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: not this. Then I have a problem with that, amen one. 433 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: And I said it out earlier today. I said, listen, 434 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: if you're the just don't say anything, be the owner. 435 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: Let the GMT. Dan. I've been in teams that I'll 436 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: bet you there's players across this league that have never 437 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: shaken hands with the owner of their franchise now, meaning 438 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: you know the owners kind of sometimes you don't even 439 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: see him in the building for months or two years. 440 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: So if you're going to go to your franchise player 441 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: and promise him, live up to the promise, because here's 442 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: a problem when you lie to people, or you go 443 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: back on promises like this committee, like the corn ferry, 444 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: like promise in your quarterback. When it happens once you 445 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: say okay, happens twice, you wonder happens three times. It's 446 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: a trend. Okay, everybody makes a mistakes. So this has 447 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: become a trend with the dysfunction that's cal McNair and 448 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: the Texans. If you're a head coach now and you're saying, okay, 449 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: I got the Chargers and Herbert, I got a great 450 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: player in Watson, but the franchise dysfunction. Why would I 451 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: go there to be a part of this? And it 452 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: ain't going anywhere right now? And cal McNair has created 453 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: this with Deshaun Watson. We don't need number four unhappy, 454 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: But I agree with you. I would have never tried 455 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: to consult. But if a little input doesn't hurt anybody, 456 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to make the decision to Shaun 457 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: wants just appease him after you promised him by at 458 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: least giving him a ten minute talking to Well. I 459 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: had Mike Florio on and he had the initial report, 460 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, probably the reason why they 461 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: didn't interview the enemy is they didn't want to interview 462 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: him and then not hire him as opposed to we're 463 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: just not interviewing him. Whatever the logic is on that. 464 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: That's what Florio had to say. We're talking to Sean Salisbury, 465 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: morning host of the Sean Salisbury Show Sports Talk seven 466 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: ninety in Houston. The team most likely to be upset 467 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: this weekend is the team that I listen. The defense 468 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis can play against anybody. The problem I'm concerned 469 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: about I don't think you're going to get an upset 470 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: this weekend. Dan. Maybe the Rams Seahawks game, maybe that's 471 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: not much of an upset, right exactly, So you may 472 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: get an upset their points spread wise, but listen, you 473 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: got a veteran quarterback. My concern about the Indianapolis Colts 474 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: is can if it's inclement weather and the winds blowing, 475 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: and you take him off his mark and he's not 476 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: in rhythm thrown on time, I don't think Philip Rivers 477 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: can keep it up. But if you let him get 478 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: the ball out of his hand and they run it 479 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: like they did last week and keep Josh Allen from explosion, 480 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: you can move the ball on Buffalo's defense a little bit. 481 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: I still don't think it's going to happen. Everything would 482 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: have to go perfect offensively for the Colts. I think 483 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: Buffalo is a real threat to Kansas City. And here's 484 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: what's ironic about the Saints game is that we always 485 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: say the Saints often Saints offten Saints offense. If the 486 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: Saints are getting in February, I believe it's because of 487 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: defense now, and that one Dan is the key is 488 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: don't let Drew Brees get all that rhythm underneath and 489 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: make him push the ball down the field. And I 490 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: am a bit concerned because of the inconsistency. I picked 491 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,239 Speaker 1: Tampa to go to the Super Bowl in August. I'm 492 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: not getting off that, although I take green Bay. Now 493 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 1: is that if you're the Washington football team and you 494 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: can get inside pressure, we've seen some really great games 495 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: and they he's playing well now from Tom and the 496 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers, but Dan, they've also had some conkers 497 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: that are so ugly that if you can hit them 498 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: early and force a few short field turnovers. If this 499 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: game's in the low twenties or teams, the Washington football 500 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: Team's gonna win. If this game creeps into the mid 501 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: twenties or upper twenties, then and I expect it to, 502 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: then Tampa's going to win the game. So probably the 503 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: Rams game. But I think the favorites in these and 504 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: I don't usually like favorites all the way across the board. 505 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a favorite weekend, and 506 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: I think the favorites are usually going to walk away 507 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: with this one. You know, it may sound strange, but 508 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: if Kevin Stefanski was going to be able to coach 509 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: in this game, I would lean towards the Browns. Yeah, 510 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: I agree, because I don't know what I have in Pittsburgh. 511 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: Ben has not played well in the last month and 512 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: a half. They got receivers who drop passes. They're not 513 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: formidable in the running game. The defense is not as 514 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: formidable as it once was, and it feels like the 515 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: Browns at least know who they are. They may not 516 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: be great, but they know who they are and that's 517 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: part of the battle in the NFL. They got their 518 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: identity finally, Dan, after a lot of years. And you 519 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: know what you make, that's probably the best one. Here's why. 520 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Pittsburgh's really not making those big chunk 521 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: played now. They did in the second half, you know, 522 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: in their in their last game, the game fifteen. But 523 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: you know what, Dan, and I actually didn't even look 524 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: at Cleveland as the underdog, so you're probably right. I 525 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: actually think Cleveland can beat Pittsburgh. I do because if 526 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: you don't, you know, with the lack of with some 527 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: injuries on the defensive side, and I understand Stefanski not 528 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: being there at Van Pelt's got a heavy job ahead 529 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: of him. But you know how that is. Dan, Sometimes 530 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: it's like, well, let's give Kevin next week, so let's 531 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: reach deep inside now, not that that should be the reason, 532 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: but if you run the ball and control it and 533 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: hit Ben, I'm with you. And I should have looked 534 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: at that as probably the number one, but I didn't 535 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: because I'm not so sure. I don't think that Cleveland 536 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: right now that they're better than Pittsburgh. I do Mayfield 537 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: got to play and be accurate, but the way they 538 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: run the football and they could after Ben and prevent 539 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: that big play, I don't disagree with you one bit. 540 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: I actually think Pittsburgh if I had, if I had 541 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: to bet money on this game, I'm not so sure 542 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't take Cleveland myself. So in the point spread side, 543 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: it's an upset. Without Stefanski, I think they're gonna rise. 544 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a really, really, really 545 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: late fourth quarter football game. I've had people on recently 546 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: and I've asked them the following question. I'll give you 547 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence or Justin Herbert. Everybody has said Justin Herbert. 548 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: I've talked to a couple of people that I said, 549 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: I asked the question Dan people that are either in 550 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: the know or study this stuff that we do, and 551 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: I said, of all the current players in the league 552 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: and the draft that's coming out in twenty twenty one, 553 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: would Trevor Lawrence where would he fit in and building 554 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: a franchise? And not one of them is taken him 555 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: outside the top five of the guys I've talked to now. 556 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: For me, I understand Herbert. These same guys that are 557 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: saying that now we're probably eight months ago or a 558 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: round drafts, I are saying, I don't know, we all were. 559 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: Let's face facts, we missed on because he didn't buy in. 560 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: It's kind of like people missed on Josh Allen. He's 561 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: an accurate. Yeah, he's completing around seventy percent, and as 562 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: an MVP candidate, I guess today I would. But if 563 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: you told me right now, Dan, you got to build 564 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: a franchise. And I love Herbert, but if you I 565 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: think Lawrence is different, I would take Trevor Lawrence over Herbert. 566 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: It's easy to say Herbert now because we've seen the result, 567 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: but I would. I would still have to take Lawrence 568 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: because I think when all is said and done, that ceiling, 569 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: I think he can break a bigger hole in the 570 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: ceiling than Herbert. But I'm gonna tell you this is 571 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: one of the great misses by a lot of us. 572 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: I didn't think Herbert would be this good, this fast. 573 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: And that's the number one job right now, Dan, Because 574 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: of the personnel around Herbert Watson makes it an attractive job. 575 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: The dysfunction makes it an unattractive job, but the charger's 576 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: jobs the number one job out there right now because 577 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: of that his brilliance. Early in his career, Herban Meyer 578 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: is interviewing with Jacksonville take this job. Well, there's I 579 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: got there's a kid in Clemson who's pretty good. Herban's 580 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: dot stupid dad. You and I both know that he 581 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't take the job if if if Gardner Minshew was 582 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback and they weren't get And I don't mean 583 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: this disrespect to Menshew, but he's got that to build on. 584 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: And I got about ten million reasons why would't let 585 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: him out of the building. But they had the number 586 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: two pick, not the number one pick. Sean does Urban 587 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: take that job? I think Urban's ego, and I mean 588 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: this affectionately, would think that he can make whoever it is, 589 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson or Justin Fields, that he could turn them 590 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: into that guy. I believe he thinks that. Now. I 591 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: know people in college in NFL, but Dan Jacksonville's got 592 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: to do something different, and I wouldn't let him outside 593 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: the building today. He's proven leadership. He's won everywhere but 594 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: the NFL. So until he proves to me he can't. 595 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: I'm telling you he's the number one coaching candidate on 596 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: the planet that's not coaching what college, NFL, high school, 597 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: the CFL. I don't care. If you're Jacksonville plus, people 598 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: will go to the stands. You got Trevor Lawrence, I 599 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't let him out of the building. I'd pay him 600 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: six seven years and I'd give him ten million bucks 601 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: and say, let's see what we got. We need a 602 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: big hit, and Urban Meyer's the biggest hit on the 603 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: coaching circuit right now. I just don't think he'll last. 604 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll last more than four years. Five years. 605 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: Will that be enough Dan to get them back in 606 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: the hunt? Well, it's going to take two years, you 607 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: would think, right right, at least you know two years, 608 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: because you know, the colts are good. Like if you 609 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: just look at the the AFC, South Tennessee is good, 610 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: so you're you're competing in your own division. You you're 611 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: not even the Texans right now, right right, So I 612 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: think just he's never lost, and you know what that is, 613 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: Like guys who come out of college and they're like 614 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: I lost one or two games, and all of a sudden, 615 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: you lose fourteen or fifteen. I talked to Troy Akoman 616 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: about it. It It was like, man, I took it home 617 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: with me every day. It was like something you wear. 618 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: I couldn't get get rid of it. Well, think about this, Dan, 619 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: and I talked to Dick for Meal about that same thing. 620 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: He said, I should have enjoyed the wins as much 621 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: as I suffered from the losses. Right, but they don't. 622 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: And Urban, Right, you'll lose four games at a c 623 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: at a season in Urban's like I ain't lost four 624 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: games at fourteen years, dude, when I was at Bowling Green. 625 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: So Dan, well, let me ask you this. Let's let's 626 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: say sc job came open. Would Urban have them or Texas? 627 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,479 Speaker 1: If you would have taken instead of Sark, would they 628 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: be in the National title Final four in two years? Texas? No? 629 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: Southern cal No. I'm gonna say that because Alabama and 630 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: Clemson and Ohio State have such a head start on everybody. 631 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: And Jacksonville. If Jacksonville gets if Meyers signs with them, 632 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: and Lawrence is the call and Urban stays around six years, 633 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: will they win the division more than once while he's there. 634 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't think you'll stay six years, but I would 635 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: say that they would win it. I could see them 636 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: winning a division. I could. I'm I'm not letting him 637 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: out of the building, but I'm with you. If it's 638 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: an eight year contract, he eight stay at all eight 639 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: years of Frank Sea book Sean Salisbury for six years 640 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: down the road. The next time we'll have him on 641 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: it will be six years and then we'll bring up 642 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: urban Meyer and Jackson. Hey, that's what You're the only 643 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: guys that want to put me ahead of time. Have 644 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: a good weekend.

The guy before him who tied Adam 665 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,399 Speaker 1: tied him his record, so tied for the most all 666 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: time by an undrafted player.

How are you feeling pretty good? Can't complain, 670 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: Just got a little conditioning in before I got the show, 671 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: So feeling good? All right. I'm looking at what you 672 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: guys did. The Vikings did your twenty twenty playoff teams? 673 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: One in one versus the Packers, one in one versus 674 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: the Bears, lost to the Colts, lost to the Titans, 675 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: lost to the Seahawks, lost to the Bucks, lost to 676 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: the Saints two and seven. They're best team that you 677 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 1: faced this year? Is who? Um, that's a great question. 678 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: Probably the Bucks. Um. Just the way that they were 679 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: able to play defense, get after us um, you know, 680 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: get after the passer um. They got guys at every 681 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: level on defense. And then the way that they're able 682 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: to spread the ball around on offense and the weapons 683 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: they have in office is a offense is pretty impressive. Okay, 684 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: give me that defense though. Uh Tampa's defense, how impressive? Yeah, 685 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think it just starts with 686 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: their their front seven. I mean, the way that they're 687 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: able to get after the passer um, the way that 688 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: they're able to stop the run, fly around. I mean, 689 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: obviously we have a pretty good run game in Minnesota, 690 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: and uh man, they're just able to fly around and 691 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: then and then in the back end there are no 692 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: slouches there. So um, I think you know, there's a 693 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: few of those teams. I mean, you look at the 694 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: Colts very similar, Um, you look at you look at 695 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: the Packers very similar. I think those those playoff teams 696 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: that have a chance to go along way as they have. 697 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: They have guys that can get to the past, and 698 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:01,919 Speaker 1: they have guys in the back end they can cover. 699 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: So it's a good formula. Can you root for the 700 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: Packers or Bear? Do you like because they're in your division? Like, 701 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: do you want them to do well because they're in 702 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: your division? Or do you have to root against them? 703 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily root for or against to be honest, 704 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: I just love watching playoff football, So I just I 705 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: just love watching kind of evaluating and just watching close games. 706 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: So I'm just hoping for some good football. I think 707 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some great games, especially um, you know, 708 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 1: tomorrow and Sunday, so it should be fun to watch. Yeah, 709 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: but let's say the game is hanging in the balance. 710 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: The Bears have a chance to win with a game 711 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 1: winning field goal, and you could you could swipe it 712 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: one way or another. The Bears beat the Saints or 713 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: they lose in dramatic fashion. What would you do. I'd 714 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: rather have the Bears win, you would, yeah, over the Saints. Yeah, 715 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: but they're in your division. I know, but it is 716 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: a is But but you guys should have had issues 717 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: with the Saints before, uh, and vice versa too. But 718 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: do you hate the Packers, Like, are you programmed you 719 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,439 Speaker 1: grew up a Vikings fan, are you programmed to hate 720 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: the Packers. I mean, let's just put it this way. Um, 721 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: there's there's not another team I like beating more than 722 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: the Packers. Uh. So it's but but it goes both ways, right, Like, 723 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: there's nothing worse than losing to the Packers. So um. 724 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: I mean they've they've had our number as a late 725 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: so um. But uh but yeah, there's nothing better than 726 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: than beating the Packers, especially at Lambeau. But is there 727 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: does it get chippy? Like is it different they you know, 728 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't say it gets chippy with them. 729 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: I think they're pretty uh. Um. You know, I got 730 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: a lot of friends on that team. Um. I think 731 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: a lot of those guys are are you know, they're 732 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: good football players and they're good people. So UM, I 733 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: really enjoyed playing against teams that that have, you know, 734 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: respect for one another. Um. Now, at the end of 735 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: the day, yeah, you want to beat them and you 736 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: want to beat them bad, but still it's nice to 737 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: have you know, mutual respect and go out there and 738 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: play a clean, clean football game. So UM, I enjoy that. 739 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: Um And probably why why I'm not going to necessarily 740 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: root against any of those teams. Have you ever had 741 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: any interesting conversations that continue throughout the game with a 742 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: defensive back? Oh? Yeah, absolutely? Um, but I mean interesting 743 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 1: like did they get does it get you know, really 744 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: trash talk or is somebody actually can carry on a 745 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: conversation with you? Oh? I think there's a little bit 746 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: of both, depends on who you're playing. Uh. Some guys, 747 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into names, but some guys 748 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: are a little weird with where they talk, like you know, 749 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: complimenting um, you know, asking how the families doing. Uh, 750 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, like almost like overly nice. So that's kind 751 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: of weird, um folk compliments like it's not real right 752 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: right right? Okay, I well you don't really know, right, 753 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of like a little little bit of like 754 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: over the top and a little bit of maybe but 755 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: it's just kind of a weird like head game maybe 756 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: that they're trying to play. Uh. And then you got 757 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: the other side where it's like way over the top 758 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 1: the other way, like you know, saying that I'm gonna 759 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: punch you in the face if you say a word 760 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: uh so uh, which gets a little weird, like you're 761 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: gonna punch me in the face with a helmet on. Uh, 762 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: it's a little weird. Wait wait what what what Warren's 763 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: getting punched in the face or somebody just say that 764 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: to you. That's a great question. That's why I think 765 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: it's it's weird and it's a little over the top. 766 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: But what did they start a game by saying feeling 767 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: I gonna punch you in the face today? Yeah? Like like, 768 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: uh plays over and and you know I'm because I 769 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: like to, you know, talk a little bit on the field. 770 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: You don't have fun with it. Um, And you know, 771 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: I looked at the guy and I'm like, what do 772 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: you Why are you talking right now? Like he was 773 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: he was talking smacking our team and he looked at 774 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: me and said, say a word and I'll punch you 775 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: in the I'm like all right, man, like I got 776 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: a helmet on, Like it's it punched me, that's fine. Uh. 777 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: You know you start to look at the Vikings growing up, 778 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 1: and it was right in your wheelhouse with with Moss 779 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: and Chris Carter. Have you talked to them of about, 780 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, being a wide receiver. What goes into it? Yeah? Yeah, no, 781 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 1: it was pretty cool. Um. I've been able to talk 782 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: to him both. Um, have pretty good conversations with them. Um, 783 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: you know, just talking football. I did an interview with 784 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: Randy Moss a few years back, and uh, he didn't 785 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: even necessarily want to do the interview. He just wanted 786 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: to talk ball, which which I thought was was fun 787 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: and cool, and uh, you know he was. He was 788 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,399 Speaker 1: teaching me about some of the things that he did 789 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: to help him and his routes and things like that, 790 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: and um, I thought that was pretty cool. Do you 791 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: have fanboy at all? Do you ask for jerseys like 792 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,240 Speaker 1: when you face the Saints or Brady with the Buccaneers, 793 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? Would you ask for a jersey for any 794 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: of from any of those guys? Yeah, you know, it's 795 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: it's kind of easing to do. I like to do it. 796 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: You know, guys that I get to know, um, you know, 797 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: play against a lot um, you know, maybe get to 798 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,880 Speaker 1: know off the field. For sure. I need to I 799 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: need to ask some of those guys for their jeresus 800 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: because I've got to know a few of them. But hum. 801 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,359 Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, if I don't really know him, 802 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: it's kind of awkward and I'm sure, Like you know, uh, 803 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: Brady and Rogers and those guys, I mean, they get 804 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 1: they probably get asked by fifteen people every game for 805 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: their jersey, so I try to avoid that. But but 806 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 1: hopefully if I, you know, you build a relationship with 807 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: them off the field, and maybe we'll get one one day. 808 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,839 Speaker 1: But uh, but yeah, it's just kind of a weird 809 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,879 Speaker 1: deal when you when you're talking to guys like that. 810 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: Well also you need to have the clubhouse guy go 811 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 1: over and ask, because you can't ask because you don't 812 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: want to be told no. So I'd rather the clubhouse 813 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: guy went over and ask for Aaron Rodgers. Would you 814 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: put up Aaron Rodgers jersey? I would. Yeah. Aaron and 815 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: I've got to have a pretty good relationship, so uh 816 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 1: definitely would because of our, you know, off the field relationship. 817 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,439 Speaker 1: He loves to play golf. I love to play golf, 818 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: So we played a lot together in Lake Tahoe with 819 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: the tournament there and got to know him pretty well. 820 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: He knows my family and all that, So definitely would 821 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: put his up. Uh, Packers, Saints, Buccaneers, other who makes 822 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in the NFC. Well, um, that's a 823 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: tough one. I think I think it's between the Saints 824 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: or not the Saints, the Buccaneers and Packers. If I 825 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: were to, if I were a betting man, that's who 826 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 1: I would bet on between those two. I don't really know. 827 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the first meeting wasn't great between them 828 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: for the Packers obviously, but I would I would have 829 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 1: to imagine, uh, you know, going to Lambeau if those 830 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: two played each other that, um, that would be a 831 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: lot better game. So so we'll see which defense would 832 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: you rather face? Buccaneers are the Packers I would rather face. 833 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: I would rather face the Packers because we were able 834 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: to run the ball pretty well against in the second meeting. 835 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: But uh, but they're they're both very similar to be honest, Uh, 836 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: there's not much difference between the two. Um, both are 837 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 1: both our top defenses in the NFL. How many minivans 838 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: does Kirk Cousins have? He has? He has one Van, um, 839 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: but then the rest of his cars are basically van 840 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 1: but they're not Van. So he just strikes me as 841 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:19,439 Speaker 1: he's a minivan guy. He's not a minivan guy. He's 842 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: more of like the astro vanuh with like the creepy curtains. Um, 843 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: but uh, but yeah, he's he's he's an interesting guy. 844 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: He's it's unbelievable his Uh. He loves cars, um, but 845 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: will not spend the money on buying a car, so 846 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: he tries to get the best deals. Um. I think 847 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: he has a deal back home with with like a 848 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: Toyota dealership or somewhere. Oh no, I think it's a 849 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 1: Honda dealership. So I think he does have a van 850 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 1: back home from the Honda dealership.
