Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: We made it. We did it. We made it to
Speaker 2: a Wednesday. It's our one. It's already been a great day,
Speaker 2: unbelievable day. Yesterday went to the supermarket and I'm walking
Speaker 2: down an aisle and I see the strawberry Nesley's Quick.
Speaker 3: Is that what it's called? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I haven't had it in forty years? And I said,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to have some strawberry Quick.
Speaker 2: So I started my day with strawberry Quick. I think
Speaker 2: that's what it's called. Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 4: Why do you think that is? Because I think we
Speaker 4: all have that stuff we loved as a kid. We
Speaker 4: can now afford it and buy it anytime we want. Well,
Speaker 4: we don't eat it or drink it.
Speaker 3: Why is this?
Speaker 2: I have no idea, no idea, but it just jumped
Speaker 2: out at me. Haven't had it in forty years? Had
Speaker 2: it this morning? And I said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 2: going to have a second glass. That's how good I
Speaker 2: feel today. Marvin, you're a big strawberry Quick guy, aren't you.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And now that I can afford it, I never
Speaker 5: have it.
Speaker 3: Hit it on the head.
Speaker 2: Why I don't know. I don't know what that is
Speaker 2: like ovaltine. There's certain things. I just walked by the
Speaker 2: aisle and I was going, God, there's a cornicopia of
Speaker 2: things that I might want to have for breakfast, and
Speaker 2: I decided on Strawberry Quick.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paulin.
Speaker 4: When I was in high school, grade school, I used
Speaker 4: to go through a sleeve of ruffles, Remember the what
Speaker 4: was the one pringles in the can where you get
Speaker 4: your ham stuck. I walk by them all the time.
Speaker 4: I never get them.
Speaker 5: Why is it?
Speaker 3: I wish I had that kind of willpower.
Speaker 6: I'll get the regular and the pizza flavor and the
Speaker 6: sour keep red onion.
Speaker 3: I can't make up my mind.
Speaker 2: You're coming out with cannisters there under your arm or
Speaker 2: for nine bucks?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Who could pass that up and not pass it?
Speaker 2: Alrighty Jim Nance is going to join us coming up
Speaker 2: next hour, Hello friends, and Robert Griffin Junior the Third
Speaker 2: will stop by as well. Got the big game coming
Speaker 2: up on CBS. It'll be Baltimore and Buffalo, So Jim
Speaker 2: will be doing that job that game with Tony Romo.
Speaker 2: This first hour brought to you by tyrac dot com,
Speaker 2: the official tire Experts of the Dan Patrick Shall go
Speaker 2: to tyrack dot com slash Dan the Tire Decision Guide,
Speaker 2: full lineup of Firestone tires, special offers free roade hazard protection.
Speaker 2: It's tire rack dot Com The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Speaker 2: Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Good morning,
Speaker 2: if you're watching on Peacock or if you're listening on
Speaker 2: our radio affiliates numbering over four hundred around America. All's
Speaker 2: quiet or all is quiet on the coaching front, at
Speaker 2: least so far, And you have the possibility of Mike
Speaker 2: McCarthy interviewing with the Bears today, and then you have
Speaker 2: some of these other coaches who are still in the
Speaker 2: postseason who aren't afforded that luxury. Now, the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 2: with Dion Sanders, that's going to get a lot of run.
Speaker 2: That's going to play out until Dallas hires a coach.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be dion I think
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones did Dionna solid d On is in negotiations
Speaker 2: for a contract extension at Colorado. He would normally be
Speaker 2: getting that. But if there's the possibility of the Raiders
Speaker 2: or the Cowboys. Maybe he's able to make some more
Speaker 2: money there. Because if you listen or read what Dion
Speaker 2: had to say about his conversation with Jerry Jones, he
Speaker 2: sort of implied inferred that he was offered the job. Hey,
Speaker 2: you know, humbled by this, but I got unfinished business
Speaker 2: at Colorado. I don't think there was an offer here.
Speaker 2: It wasn't reported as an offer. Dion kind of took
Speaker 2: it and said, basically, yeah, I'm not going to take
Speaker 2: this job right now. I got unfinished business. Wait a minute,
Speaker 2: I didn't offer the job to you. Now, maybe he
Speaker 2: gets around to doing that, because you know, normally when
Speaker 2: you fire somebody, we always at least think the owner
Speaker 2: has an idea who he's going to bring in. I
Speaker 2: truly believe that the Craft family with the Patriots knew
Speaker 2: they were bringing in Mike Brable, and probably knew that
Speaker 2: in December. They probably knew that a month ago where
Speaker 2: it's like this is not working out. They would have
Speaker 2: brought in Mike Brable if they weren't already contractually binded
Speaker 2: with girod Mayo, because they wrote it into his contract
Speaker 2: that he would be the successor to Bill Belichick. Then
Speaker 2: I think they quickly realized he was not ready to
Speaker 2: be a head coach. And it goes back to what
Speaker 2: I've said many many times, not every great coordinator, good coordinator,
Speaker 2: deserves to be a head coach. Ben Johnson is the
Speaker 2: object of desire right now. I don't know what he's like.
Speaker 2: I've never heard him interviewed. I don't know what it's
Speaker 2: like when you're up there and you're answering questions, you
Speaker 2: just lost a tough game. I don't know what kind
Speaker 2: of culture is he able to be around Dan Campbell
Speaker 2: and go I'm going to have that same culture wherever
Speaker 2: I go.
Speaker 3: I don't know is.
Speaker 2: He going to go to the Raiders? How does that
Speaker 2: go with Tom Brady's game this weekend? He's got that game,
Speaker 2: He's got the Wyons game with the Commanders. What happens
Speaker 2: if they show Ben Johnson on the sideline? Is Tom Brady,
Speaker 2: minority owner of the Raiders, allowed to talk about Ben Johnson?
Speaker 2: Does he have any insight info which I would believe
Speaker 2: he would. I like how the NFL makes it seem
Speaker 2: like this isn't a conflict of interest. Seaton brought up
Speaker 2: something this morning. He said imagine if Jerry Jones was
Speaker 2: going to be the analyst for a game. He love
Speaker 2: that and he's looking for a head coach. Is there
Speaker 2: a conflict of interest there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: See yeah, I mean like, could you imagine Robert Kraft
Speaker 7: immediately like, well, you know here, Jerrodmeo really not get
Speaker 7: it done. I think we're going to fire him at
Speaker 7: the end of the game. And that means we're open
Speaker 7: for business. But the NFL, you know, the NFL is
Speaker 7: bending over backwards to help Tom. It feels like or
Speaker 7: looking the other way. Conflict of interest, that is what
Speaker 7: it is.
Speaker 2: And then you go back in the way back machine
Speaker 2: to how they went after Tom, like you know, they
Speaker 2: were going after him in a big time, big way,
Speaker 2: like they were investigating him. Then this is like, you know,
Speaker 2: he's with Fox, He's gonna be calling the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Let's play nice, probably his last year as a broadcaster.
Speaker 2: No conflict of interest here? Yes, eaton?
Speaker 7: I love Like this is such a blatant conflict of
Speaker 7: interest that's right in our faces. That makes me wonder
Speaker 7: what are the other conflicts of interest that they're also like, Ah,
Speaker 7: don't worry about that, that's no big deal. Don't worry
Speaker 7: about it, because this one is right in our faces.
Speaker 7: Everybody could see it. There's probably a million more that
Speaker 7: are behind the scenes. They're like, I just wink at that,
Speaker 7: don't worry about that.
Speaker 5: That's fine.
Speaker 2: What about if it's a blowout. Let's say the lines
Speaker 2: are up like twenty one with I don't know, seven
Speaker 2: minutes to go. You got to fill a little time,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you're gonna go, uh well,
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson's gonna get a job Tom somewhere. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: certainly seems like a good candidate to me. Anymore on that, Tom, No,
Speaker 2: that's all I have.
Speaker 7: Raiders are looking to hire a new coach sometime before
Speaker 7: the draft.
Speaker 3: That they wait, is that your Tom Brady?
Speaker 7: All of a sudden, he's got a hardcore accent where
Speaker 7: he talks about you know, the podcast for the I
Speaker 7: was talking about the draft on the podcast.
Speaker 3: WHOA what dude? Where did that accent come from? Now?
Speaker 3: Now I'm going to be listening for that.
Speaker 6: Yes, Todd or Brady goes the other way and pretends
Speaker 6: he's not interested. It's like I Ben, everybody's on this
Speaker 6: Ben Johnson bandwagon. I don't know when everyone doesn't reson.
Speaker 6: Then he swoops in at the last minute when everyone
Speaker 6: thinks that the Raiders aren't interested.
Speaker 3: It's the Ben wagon. I think it's I'm on the
Speaker 3: Ben wagon here.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Does he go out of his way to say, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't get it, you know, all right,
Speaker 2: gimme keep plays.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that works consisted. Some are just coordinators.
Speaker 6: They're not necessarily going to make great head coaches.
Speaker 4: I don't know, yes, yes, or Brady goes the other way.
Speaker 4: Sam Laporta catches like a pass on. Mean, I cannot
Speaker 4: wait to see him dial that up for Powers next year.
Speaker 3: I can't wait.
Speaker 4: Like he just puts it all out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So that's no conflict of interest there with
Speaker 2: that game coming up this weekend with the Lions and
Speaker 2: the Commanders.
Speaker 3: See, now you're going to listen.
Speaker 2: Now we're going to read into How many times do
Speaker 2: you listen to a game where you're going to be
Speaker 2: reading into maybe an ulterior motive. Troy Aikman came out
Speaker 2: after the last game that he and Joe did and
Speaker 2: said something about the Cowboys job not being a good
Speaker 2: job or desirable. But Troy is not part of the Cowboys,
Speaker 2: or he's not part of another organization ripping the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Tom Is He's got his fingerprints all over this. He's
Speaker 2: he's going to be making these changes. He's making these decisions,
Speaker 2: but he's also going to be broadcasting a game where
Speaker 2: maybe the number one candidate for the head coaching vacancies
Speaker 2: is going to be coaching eight seven seven three DP
Speaker 2: show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle it DP
Speaker 2: show you got Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone
Speaker 2: calls coming up and has always stat of the day
Speaker 2: brought to you by Pennini America. The official trading cards
Speaker 2: of this program. By the way, I have the Morning
Speaker 2: DraftKings odds. These are the best Super Bowl matchup odds.
Speaker 2: It's overwhelming that they think it'll be the Chiefs and
Speaker 2: the Lions. Then it's the Chiefs and the Eagles, Ravens Lions.
Speaker 2: So Chiefs and Lions plus three seventy Chiefs Eagles and
Speaker 2: the Ravens Lions plus five hundred, and then they have
Speaker 2: the Bills and the Lions plus five fifty.
Speaker 3: So they're not.
Speaker 2: Factoring in the Commanders or the Rams in this situation.
Speaker 2: And if you're betting the best odds, according to Vegas,
Speaker 2: will be the Chiefs and the Lions meeting in the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, So as of today, Vegas likes the Eagles
Speaker 4: more than the Lions.
Speaker 3: They no, No, they have the Lions against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Oh, and then that's the Chiefs against Yeah, they have
Speaker 2: the Chiefs against the Eagles, got it, And then they
Speaker 2: had the raven No. They really like the Lions because
Speaker 2: they've got them facing the Chiefs and facing the Ravens
Speaker 2: and facing the Bills. So if I'm going to plan this,
Speaker 2: the Bills versus the Lions would be where I would go.
Speaker 2: Somebody's winning a Super Bowl here? Yeah, is that how
Speaker 2: they sell it? And welcome to the Super Bowl. Somebody
Speaker 2: has to win this game these and can you imagine
Speaker 2: the pain for one of these fan bases if Buffalo
Speaker 2: plays Detroit? Which fan base would hurt more if they
Speaker 2: lost this Super Bowl? Why I'm skewing negative eleven minutes
Speaker 2: in Dang. I started out great with Strawberry Quick, then
Speaker 2: I went to Brady conflict of interest, and now I'm
Speaker 2: talking about pain misery for a fan base.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, I think this is a good question, and
Speaker 4: my instant reaction was the Bills would have more pain.
Speaker 4: They've been expecting to get a Super Bowl for the
Speaker 4: past five years. They finally get there. They had the
Speaker 4: zero for four stretch. Lions never even had that stretch,
Speaker 4: and then you lose to the team that's never been there.
Speaker 2: But considering this is recency bias from you just lost
Speaker 2: in dramatic fashion last year for you're the Lions. So
Speaker 2: it's not like the Buffalo Bills back in the nineties
Speaker 2: when they're losing Super Bowls. It's this is the Lions
Speaker 2: team that's supposed to win the Super Bowl. Are we
Speaker 2: they're the favorites?
Speaker 4: Are we instituting the pain meter as of today?
Speaker 3: H sure? Yeah, Seaton, what's the pole question? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Do we want to start out with which fan base
Speaker 2: would suffer more? In a No, I can't do that.
Speaker 3: I can't do that today late, because that's what we're doing.
Speaker 3: By the way, if.
Speaker 2: You're going to be in New Orleans for the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl February fifth, at seven pm local time, I'll be
Speaker 2: at Tippatina's with Dan Levitard. It's Dan Interviews Dan, and
Speaker 2: we'll be there for ninety minutes, having a conversation, taking
Speaker 2: questions and saying hello to people. We still have some tickets,
Speaker 2: not a lot left, but information on the tickets can
Speaker 2: be found at Danpatrick dot com and across our social
Speaker 2: media platforms. Is that the pole question we're going with?
Speaker 3: Seed, It's definitely one of them. Wow, that's for sure.
Speaker 7: Which fan base would suffer more if they lost the
Speaker 7: Super Bowl? Buffalo Bill's Detroit Lions. That is a lot
Speaker 7: of fun we gonna also put up there. Tom Brady
Speaker 7: being an NFL broadcaster and owner is a massive conflict
Speaker 7: of interest or no big deal?
Speaker 2: Well, let's go round the room here, because I want
Speaker 2: to be fair to the topic here, Todd, do you
Speaker 2: think it's a conflict of interest that Brady is a
Speaker 2: minority owner while calling games?
Speaker 6: I think it's a conflict of interest. But if the
Speaker 6: phrase is massive conflict of interest, I would lean the
Speaker 6: other way. I think it's a conflict of interest. I
Speaker 6: don't think it's a massive conflict.
Speaker 7: With Okay, Seaton, Uh, okay, maybe we'll take out massive
Speaker 7: then I would say it is a massive conflict of interest. Okay,
Speaker 7: right then, especially more like the more that it's not
Speaker 7: exactly a new story, but the more that it sits
Speaker 7: with me, and the more that everybody's just kicking around
Speaker 7: head coaching candidates and all this stuff, and You're like.
Speaker 3: You got this dude doing kay? This is crazy. How
Speaker 3: in the world can you allow that to happen? Marvin?
Speaker 3: Conflict of interest?
Speaker 5: As much as I love minority owner in the NFL,
Speaker 5: now conflict of interest.
Speaker 3: No, it is oh, okay, okay, Pauly conflict of interest.
Speaker 4: It's the definition of con of interest. It's direct, it's
Speaker 4: not even like a layer removed. And what's worse is
Speaker 4: the NFL gave Tom special treatment to make it happen.
Speaker 4: They let him become a broadcaster and approved him becoming
Speaker 4: an owner, which they did not have to do in
Speaker 4: any way.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like I they could have kept him in
Speaker 2: the on deck circle before, you know. But I don't
Speaker 2: think the NFL wants him to get out of the
Speaker 2: broadcasting booth. I think that they want him there. I
Speaker 2: think Fox of course wants him there, and he's going
Speaker 2: to be doing the Super Bowl. But as I've said
Speaker 2: for the last couple of months, it feels like he's
Speaker 2: moving on to something else, and maybe he's won and
Speaker 2: done during these games and he gets to do a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, it's kind of like what Seton said, almost
Speaker 4: jokingly about Jerry Jones. Would they make him a broadcaster?
Speaker 4: If I were an NBA broadcast team, I would consider
Speaker 4: hiring someone like Mark Cuban to be on my staff.
Speaker 4: But the conflict would be he owns the Mavericks and
Speaker 4: you couldn't. But he's a star, he's a good guy,
Speaker 4: he talks well. If I'm a can the NBA do this?
Speaker 4: I don't think they could.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I think he's now a minority owner with the Mavericks,
Speaker 2: so it would be identical if he was doing games.
Speaker 2: I think Mark sold a good portion of the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 2: All right, let me take a break. When we come back,
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin has a lot to say, we'll react and
Speaker 2: look at the Steelers' issues after this Dan Patrick show.

Speaker 3: That's Covino and Rich coming up in an hour from now.
Speaker 3: Robert Griffin the Third will stop by as well.
Speaker 2: Whenever you read something about Jaden Daniels and they talk
Speaker 2: about big picture of Wow, this is unbelievable. The last
Speaker 2: time we saw a quarterback in Washington b like this,
Speaker 2: it was Robert Griffin. And then it's the cautionary tale
Speaker 2: of is he going to end up like RG three,
Speaker 2: who had this meteor was great right out of the gate,
Speaker 2: and then he got banged up because they'd eventually catch you.
Speaker 2: And I thought at times RG three didn't avoid contact,
Speaker 2: and the cautionary tale for Jade and Daniels. When you
Speaker 2: can avoid the big guy on the other side in
Speaker 2: a different colored uniform, you don't have to be a
Speaker 2: tough guy. We're okay with that, you know. Ever since
Speaker 2: Franco Harris ran out of bounds, remember how big a deal. Well,
Speaker 2: if you're old enough, Franco Harris of the Steelers, he
Speaker 2: ran out of bounds. It didn't take on contact, and
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, all of these old school running backs.
Speaker 2: Jim Brown like what are you doing running out? And
Speaker 2: Franco was like, I'm gonna live to see another play here,
Speaker 2: Like I'm okay, I got four Super Bowls. I want
Speaker 2: to preserve myself. I don't think we have a problem now.
Speaker 2: If you run out of bounds. But back then, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, Franco Harris ran out of bounds. Running backs
Speaker 2: don't do that, uh they do. Now, watch little basketball.
Speaker 2: Last night, Yannis had thirty three, eleven and thirteen and
Speaker 2: the Bucks beat the King. So Janice has fifty triple doubles.
Speaker 2: There's seven active players with at least fifty triple doubles. Marvin,
Speaker 2: this is in your wheelhouse. So you have seven active
Speaker 2: players with at least fifty triple doubles.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Jokie Yes, Westbrook, Yes, Lebron, Yes, DeMar Derozen.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 3: After the obvious ones, I'm kind of lost. No, this
Speaker 3: one's obvious, too, very obvious. Seton.
Speaker 2: Did you say hardin Woh that's a sneaky good one. Yep,
Speaker 2: bloop Marvin, Amu Green, Oh, Paul, that's my guess. Okay,
Speaker 2: very obvious. Oh yes, Marvin, forgive me, Luca, Yes, one more,
Speaker 2: one more. This one's the fun one. At least fifty
Speaker 2: triple doubles active player Yiannis Yannis noahs, nah, this guy
Speaker 2: just had a monster rebounding night.
Speaker 3: Monster.
Speaker 2: I can see I can see the wheels turning, that
Speaker 2: puzzled look that I always had when I was in class, like, uh, hope,
Speaker 2: they don't call on me.
Speaker 3: Marvin Bonus J did it, didn't He just have twenty
Speaker 3: eight rebounds in a game. Bonus coverage. Yeah, WHOA, Okay,
Speaker 3: you're in the Sabonis. Yeah. So I was watching a
Speaker 3: little bit of that last night. Got basketball coming up tonight.
Speaker 2: You got Spurs and the Grizzlies, My Rockets against the Nuggets,
Speaker 2: the Warriors against the Timberwolves. Mike Tomlin had his end
Speaker 2: of the season press conference and there were a lot
Speaker 2: of topics here, including this one. A reporter brought this
Speaker 2: up to Mike Tomlin, what's your.
Speaker 6: Message to any team that may reach out to the
Speaker 6: Steelers to gauge interest or availability and in your services.
Speaker 3: I have no message.
Speaker 4: Save your time, Yeah, Paul, I have no message, but
Speaker 4: I want to give this message to those teams. He
Speaker 4: just said, I have no message, followed up one second
Speaker 4: later with a message.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's like when somebody says I have nothing to say,
Speaker 2: and then they go on and say a hold on.
Speaker 2: Here is Mike talking about the criticism of what he
Speaker 2: has done in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 10: I understand the nature of what it is that we do.
Speaker 10: The attention and criticism that comes with it. As a
Speaker 10: matter of fact, I embrace it, to be quite honest
Speaker 10: with you. I enjoy the urgency that comes with what
Speaker 10: I do and what we do. I don't make excuses
Speaker 10: for failure.
Speaker 3: I own it.
Speaker 10: But I also feel like I'm capable, and so as
Speaker 10: long as I'm afforded an opportunity to do that, I
Speaker 10: will continue. But I certainly understand their frustrations, and probably
Speaker 10: more importantly than that.
Speaker 2: I share it, okay, And then he talked about the
Speaker 2: quarterbacking situation, situation moving forward, because we keep talking about this.
Speaker 2: They haven't had a quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger. How much
Speaker 2: is Mike Tomlin to blame for that? He's in these conversations.
Speaker 2: Seems like a really powerful guy in the organization. I
Speaker 2: don't know when it comes to the topic of quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Mike doesn't weigh in on this. But they've made some moves,
Speaker 2: they've drafted some players, and they are still looking for
Speaker 2: their quarterback. Here is Mike Tomlin about who is his quarterback.
Speaker 3: We don't have a.
Speaker 10: Quarterback under contract, and so we got some major discussions there.
Speaker 10: It was a really good experience with the three quarterbacks
Speaker 10: that were on our roster this year. We certainly are
Speaker 10: open to considering those guys, but there's a lot of
Speaker 10: work ahead of us, and the major work obviously starts
Speaker 10: first and foremost with just understanding what our options are,
Speaker 10: what the field looks like in terms of free agency,
Speaker 10: what the draft pool looks like, and then beginning the
Speaker 10: process in terms of decision making based on you know,
Speaker 10: known variables.
Speaker 2: You look at their draft history, at least recent draft history,
Speaker 2: it feels like just about every year they drafted a
Speaker 2: wide receiver in the second round. Does that sound about right, Paul,
Speaker 2: second or third round? It was always going to be
Speaker 2: a wide receiver. Even in that draft with Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 2: I think they drafted offensive line and then they drafted
Speaker 2: another quarterback. They drafted a couple of wide receivers, maybe
Speaker 2: a tight end in there, and it just didn't work out.
Speaker 2: And I just saw where this may not mean any
Speaker 2: to you. Deontay Johnson, he just got waved by the Texans.
Speaker 2: I think he's twenty five. I think a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago he had over one hundred catches maybe one
Speaker 2: o seven with the Steelers. He's out a football at least.
Speaker 2: He just got waived by a team in you know,
Speaker 2: that was in the postseason. In the postseason. Currently what happened.
Speaker 2: He was with the Steelers, and the Steelers have had
Speaker 2: a few of these wide receivers. Now, I know Antonio
Speaker 2: Brown and I still believe that hit by vontez Berfeck
Speaker 2: messed up Antonio Brown. Now is he a big personality?
Speaker 3: The Steelers?
Speaker 2: You know, for an organization that seems pretty I don't
Speaker 2: want to say boring, but they're conservative, they end up
Speaker 2: with these wide receivers who got big personalities like George Pickens.
Speaker 2: Is George Pickens a Steeler next year? I don't think so, Yes, PAULI.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you look at the Steelers semi recent history
Speaker 4: to Pickens second round and like you said, it feels
Speaker 4: like his career is teetering. A couple of years ago,
Speaker 4: Chase Claypool twenty twenty two, how'd that work out?
Speaker 3: Oh wow?
Speaker 4: And then they shafted the Bears on the way out
Speaker 4: and they traded.
Speaker 2: That was one of those And I remember talking to
Speaker 2: an NFL scout who's a friend and he was like, hey,
Speaker 2: Chase Claypool, you'll you'll be talking about him. And then
Speaker 2: when he got what traded to the Bears, and I said,
Speaker 2: are we still going to be talking about him? He
Speaker 2: goes yeah in a negative way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4: The Steelers took Deontay Johnson in the third round twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: He's gone.
Speaker 4: They took James Washington in round two in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4: He's out of football. Juju Smith Schuster, he did well
Speaker 4: for a while he was twenty seventeen, but now he's
Speaker 4: playing elsewhere. You can go back to Sammy Coates in
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen, Martavius Bryant in twenty fourteen. Oh, he was
Speaker 4: a thing for a little while out of Clempson. He
Speaker 4: sure was this first two years he was on his way. Yeah,
Speaker 4: a bad history.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they They've had a lot of receivers go in there.
Speaker 2: But okay, this still I have to put some of
Speaker 2: this on Mike Tomlin that you're part of the drafting
Speaker 2: process here. Mike's got control, or at least a good
Speaker 2: portion of that, so this this falls on him as well. Okay,
Speaker 2: you got to find your quarterback. We keep hearing about that.
Speaker 2: Got to find our quarterback. Okay, then find your quarterback.
Speaker 2: Why haven't you found your quarterback? What did he think
Speaker 2: of Kenny Pickett when they drafted him. Would they use
Speaker 2: a first round pick on Kenny Pickett? Does that sound right, Paul?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And a lot of people were surprised because they
Speaker 4: had mixed grades on him. And I think he was
Speaker 4: the twenty third pick of the draft.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And it feels like the Steelers are always
Speaker 2: picking there, like the twenty third pick of the draft,
Speaker 2: the twenty six, twenty second and you know, take an
Speaker 2: offensive lineman. They always you know, they've done well with
Speaker 2: some defensive players there. But this is an organization that
Speaker 2: you've had quarterbacks before, and that just shows you, you
Speaker 2: know it is It is an inexact science to find
Speaker 2: your quarterback, and when you do, you hold on for
Speaker 2: dear life.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paully.
Speaker 4: The other thing about the Steelers they never stink. So
Speaker 4: they never have a top five, top ten draft pick.
Speaker 4: Rarely do they have one. They haven't had a draft pick,
Speaker 4: first round draft pick inside the top ten. You may
Speaker 4: have to go back to Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaker 2: Okay, these two quarterbacks aren't trade up worthy. I don't
Speaker 2: think if you're the Steelers, are you can you bring
Speaker 2: in somebody?
Speaker 4: Do you?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 2: They might just bring back these quarterbacks as bridge quarterbacks again.
Speaker 2: But then what is Russ going to cost me? Because
Speaker 2: Russ has gotten accustomed to getting paid really really well.
Speaker 2: Denver picked up the tab last year, so what would
Speaker 2: he cost you? And is he going to be wanting
Speaker 2: a two or three year deal? So well, the Steelers,
Speaker 2: they might have a better than five hundred record again
Speaker 2: next year, but you got to win a postseason game.
Speaker 2: As great as Mike Tomlin has been, he'll be a
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame coach. But this is really inexcusable. Yeah, Pauline,
Speaker 2: they do have the brutal division. The Bengals should not
Speaker 2: be down. They were down a little bit this year,
Speaker 2: but you can't expect it. We talk about the NFC
Speaker 2: North being brutal. Steelers, it's uphild the entire season except for.
Speaker 3: The Browns games.
Speaker 2: And you know, Miles Garrett did come out and say, hey,
Speaker 2: the Browns aren't that far away. I don't know, like
Speaker 2: far away from who or what? No, you got, you're
Speaker 2: not that far away from the first pick in the draft.
Speaker 2: Do they take a quarterback?
Speaker 3: Don't you have to? They should bar them from taking quarterback.
Speaker 3: That should be like a league mandate.
Speaker 2: No, no, if you take one I'm you don't want
Speaker 2: to give a quarterback two thirty million dollars guaranteed. That's
Speaker 2: what they got to stay away from. But if you
Speaker 2: can get Shudor Sanders, would you take Shadoor Sanders if
Speaker 2: cam Ward goes number one or the other way around.
Speaker 2: Because Cleveland is going to need a quarterback, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think that Deshaun Watson plays next year. I
Speaker 2: don't think he plays again. I don't think so. So
Speaker 2: Tennessee is going to have the first pick. Tennessee needs
Speaker 2: a quarterback as well. But if I'm Tennessee, can you
Speaker 2: survive another year and maybe trade out of that. I
Speaker 2: always look at trading down. I think there are a
Speaker 2: lot of franchises who have done extremely well trading down,
Speaker 2: gathering picks and making sure you don't have just one
Speaker 2: really good player or you pin everything on that one player.
Speaker 2: A couple of phone calls Doug in North Carolina, Hi Doug,
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Hey Dan.
Speaker 9: I'm thinking about Chris Spillman today. If you're a Lions fan,
Speaker 9: you've come to terms with the fact that you're probably
Speaker 9: going to lose Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, and now
Speaker 9: it looks like you're going to lose Chris Spielman. Chris
Speaker 9: Bilman is the unsung hero in the turnaround of the Lions.
Speaker 9: He's largely responsible for hiring Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell,
Speaker 9: and two days ago he interviewed with the Jets to
Speaker 9: become their next GM. And I love Chris Filman. Not
Speaker 9: only was he a great player. Watched the interview he
Speaker 9: gave with you three years ago when he talks about
Speaker 9: losing his wife and falling in love again. He just
Speaker 9: comes across as a genuine and sincere guy, and you
Speaker 9: want him to You just want something better for him
Speaker 9: than the Jets. I know we're going to lose him,
Speaker 9: but I hope it's not to the Jets. It's like
Speaker 9: your best friend introducing you to the new girlfriend that
Speaker 9: you know is trouble. He's got a past. I hope
Speaker 9: he gets something better than that.
Speaker 2: Doug, again, thank you for the Oysters big hit. They
Speaker 2: were wonderful, and thank you again for that kind gesture.
Speaker 9: Sure absolutely, it's my pleasure.
Speaker 2: And we'll look forward to getting more of those next year.
Speaker 2: Of course, this should be a yearly basis, not just
Speaker 2: a one and done. Let's see Amber and Pasadena Good morning, Amber,
Speaker 2: good morning.
Speaker 11: Il was wondering if you can give a shout out
Speaker 11: to my dad. They recently lost their their house to
Speaker 11: the fires at Altadina. It left me nothing but the cats,
Speaker 11: and he can use a good picking up what's your
Speaker 11: father's name, Amber, Steve Hudson and Judy Hudson.
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully they have better things to do than listen
Speaker 2: to the show, but if he is listening and we
Speaker 2: can pick up your spirits in any way, you know,
Speaker 2: it's that we tried to be a diversion the best
Speaker 2: we can and certainly try to understand everything that people
Speaker 2: are going through. And as people say, oh, well you're
Speaker 2: still alive, but you lost a lot. When you lose,
Speaker 2: people say well you lost you lost your house. No,
Speaker 2: you lost a home, and there's a difference. All you
Speaker 2: can always rebuild. It's not that simple. And Amber, thank you.
Speaker 2: I can hear it in your voice. You know this
Speaker 2: is very, very emotional for people, and you can understand
Speaker 2: why when you see some of the overhead pictures and
Speaker 2: it's just an entire neighborhood. Neighborhoods just wiped out. If
Speaker 2: I said, hey, I'm going to show you a picture
Speaker 2: of Ukraine, and I said, no, it's not. It's you know,
Speaker 2: that's Pacific Palisades. Like you wouldn't believe that that happened,
Speaker 2: but it did. And Amber, thank you for calling in
Speaker 2: and a shout out to your parents getting the pets out,
Speaker 2: people who are taking pets, bringing people in, people are
Speaker 2: doing all this charitable work, raising money, wonderful things there.
Speaker 2: It's a long long road ahead. And I've said this before.
Speaker 2: My friend and his wife and two daughters, they got out.
Speaker 2: They actually drove to Vegas and they've been kind of
Speaker 2: hold up there and they said, there's no reason to
Speaker 2: go back anytime soon, that this is something that's going
Speaker 2: to be a couple of years in the making.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then what are you going back to? And then
Speaker 2: even you know, you have remorse from people who their
Speaker 2: house survived, that they're dealing with that and trying to
Speaker 2: in the best way they can be there to help
Speaker 2: people take people in. And there are a lot of
Speaker 2: people who have done that. And I'll go back to
Speaker 2: the first responders and the firefighters. You're heroes, true true heroes.

Speaker 2: collection out Candia America dot net. Anybody saw sat on
Speaker 2: the glass at a hockey game, like right there in
Speaker 2: that first row, Yes, Tom.
Speaker 4: I did it.
Speaker 3: A minor league game.
Speaker 6: Was a Hartford Wolfpack game, and my son was about two,
Speaker 6: and as soon as the players smashed into the he
Speaker 6: started hysterical crying and it was a disaster. The pr
Speaker 6: people came over and hand him a puck and stickers
Speaker 6: and like a little candy bar or something.
Speaker 3: And he just wanted to go home.
Speaker 5: And it was just a mess I thought he was
Speaker 5: old enough to go out to handle it.
Speaker 3: I look at these great seats and as soon as bang,
Speaker 3: that was the end of that. He is two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe I jumped the gun.
Speaker 3: I'll be frightened by something.
Speaker 5: Wait until four or five at least.
Speaker 3: That was just a messy. But you were being a
Speaker 3: good dad. You got him great seats on the glass there.
Speaker 3: I thought it would be.
Speaker 6: Fine, but the public relationshpeople were really nice. They couldn't
Speaker 6: give him enough cards and all kinds of goodies.
Speaker 4: Yes, the only reason you bring anyone to sit against
Speaker 4: a glass at a hockey game is because you want
Speaker 4: to show off that you had that kind of access.
Speaker 4: The two year old's gonna cry and he doesn't realize
Speaker 4: that dad's cool yet. You gotta wait till.
Speaker 3: At least five mm. Okay, yeah, seating.
Speaker 7: I once went to a minor league hockey game and
Speaker 7: the tickets were given to me for free by a
Speaker 7: radio staate that I was working for at the time,
Speaker 7: and they're like, hey, we got you a suite. It's
Speaker 7: like up, it's awesome, it's super sick. I was like, hell, yeah,
Speaker 7: this is great. So I get there, went with the
Speaker 7: person I was with at the time. We were the
Speaker 7: only two people in the suite, and there was probably
Speaker 7: fifteen people in the entire arena, so we could have
Speaker 7: had any seat that we wanted, and instead of being
Speaker 7: right up on the glass, we were two thousand feet
Speaker 7: up or however, I don't know how many feet it is,
Speaker 7: but we were all the way up away from everybody.
Speaker 7: Couldn't really it would have been cool if there was
Speaker 7: like food and stuff in there, but we were the
Speaker 7: only two people.
Speaker 3: There was nobody in the entire arena. We could add
Speaker 3: any seat we wanted.
Speaker 2: My first hockey game NHL game was Rangers Islanders in
Speaker 2: the Garden. Ken Morrow scores the game winning goal. So
Speaker 2: the Islanders with that great championship, their Stanley Cup run,
Speaker 2: and you had Billy Smith there and I was behind
Speaker 2: the glass watching that, and a friend of mine was
Speaker 2: there with me, and he said, I'm gonna just let
Speaker 2: you know, not all hockey games are like this, because
Speaker 2: that game, to this day, I've never I don't think
Speaker 2: I've ever been to a sporting event that had that
Speaker 2: much tension attached to it. Then the Rangers and the
Speaker 2: Islanders in the garden and Kenny Morrow the US Olympian
Speaker 2: scored the game winning goal, and there are a lot
Speaker 2: of Hall of Famers in that matchup there.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll get phone calls coming up.
Speaker 2: I just saw this that the San Francisco Giants have
Speaker 2: a pitcher named Tyler Rogers. He became a father two
Speaker 2: weeks ago, and they just announced that over social media
Speaker 2: they have named their child and they have named him
Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan Rogers.
Speaker 6: Fabulous.
Speaker 9: I like it. I like it.
Speaker 2: You better bring some heap, That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: You imagine if he gets out there and he's a
Speaker 2: junk ball pitcher. Come on, you're named after Nolan Ryan.
Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan could probably still throw ninety if I gave
Speaker 2: him six weeks. How old is Nolan Ryan. Nolan Ryan's
Speaker 2: got to be late seventies something like that. I think
Speaker 2: I could probably if I gave him six weeks, Nolan
Speaker 2: Ryan could probably get up to.
Speaker 3: Miles seventy seven years old.
Speaker 2: Seventy seven, Well, he could definitely throw his age, that's
Speaker 2: for sure. But time's running out of you know, being
Speaker 2: able to throw your age. But you know, he could
Speaker 2: live to be ninety, so he could probably come close
Speaker 2: to throwing ninety miles an hour. You know, we talk
Speaker 2: about people when they play golf. Can you shoot your age?
Speaker 2: You know, somebody is seventy four and they shoot a
Speaker 2: seventy four. That's a big deal for Nolan Ryan. I
Speaker 2: don't think if he's ninety, he's throwing ninety todd and.
Speaker 6: He may have some control issues at this point. He
Speaker 6: already walked a lot of batters in his primes.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul Tyler Rogers is the relief pitcher. He doesn't
Speaker 4: even throw sidearm. It's it's almost like a submarine pitch
Speaker 4: where his hand is almost scraping the tar.
Speaker 3: Really wild delivery.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the name. I like the name Nolan Ryan, Rogers,
Speaker 2: Luke and Charlotte. Hey Luke, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3: Welcome back?
Speaker 9: Hey Dan.
Speaker 11: I've just had three quick things. First thing, Duck basketball,
Speaker 11: shout out big game and Purdue. Never been a Duck
Speaker 11: football fan, never been a football school. All in on basketball.
Speaker 11: That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Second thing, Dealers,
Speaker 11: I have a rough Steelers plan. I want to cut
Speaker 11: Russ pick up fields fifth year, and then I like
Speaker 11: club Nick the next year's draft. Who knows a feedal workout.
Speaker 11: Third thing, though, in my main point was I just
Speaker 11: saw a episode of I think you've had him on
Speaker 11: the show before, of a Joel Klatt show, who did
Speaker 11: like an hour of if he was college football commissioner,
Speaker 11: what would he do? And it's probably the most intelligent
Speaker 11: hour of football talk I've ever heard. I think he'd
Speaker 11: be a great guests to have on. I mean, he
Speaker 11: goes over the schedule, transfer portal calendar, playoff format, revenue sharing,
Speaker 11: it's just fantastic. I think it'd be great to have
Speaker 11: on to talk about it.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you Luke for that heads up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're limiting the transfer portal window. I think the ten days,
Speaker 2: Like there's still this is a moving topic. This is
Speaker 2: fluid college football and everything that's going on, and it
Speaker 2: will continue this way for a while. And as I mentioned,
Speaker 2: it got a little press, which is not why I
Speaker 2: told you. I told you because you listen to the show.
Speaker 2: But you know we'll eventually get to a sixteen team format,
Speaker 2: and I was told that they will save this for
Speaker 2: the next media agreement that begins in twenty thirty two.
Speaker 2: I think we're going to have a fourteen team format
Speaker 2: and that will happen a lot sooner, probably in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six, because in twenty twenty six the college football
Speaker 2: playoff off. They I guess the sec in the Big
Speaker 2: Ten have deferred formal decision making, uh, you know, the
Speaker 2: formal decision making process, and they'll probably wait. That's when
Speaker 2: the new agreement starts in twenty twenty six. That's probably
Speaker 2: when we're going to go to fourteen teams. Morgan in Maryland,
Speaker 2: Hi Morgan, Hi Dan, I had a favor.
Speaker 12: I was wondering if you could wish my husband Scotty
Speaker 12: a happy thirty fifth birthday. Even though he is a
Speaker 12: Steelers fan, he is an amazing husband and father, and
Speaker 12: I have to give him credit where credit is due.
Speaker 12: He's the one that introduced me to your show years ago,
Speaker 12: so I got to give him that as well.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, all right, Morgan, great to hear
Speaker 3: from you.
Speaker 2: How about a happy birthday for Scotty.
Speaker 3: Roots for a team that always has a winning record. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 4: If you guys were twenty two to twenty three years
Speaker 4: old and the girl you're dating was the fan of
Speaker 4: the rival team to your favorite team, any problem with
Speaker 4: that at twenty two?
Speaker 5: No, fritzy.
Speaker 6: She have to be pretty hot, because that would be
Speaker 6: difficult if she's like waiting for the Raiders and I'm
Speaker 6: like in my orange and blue, I have to really
Speaker 6: be enjoying what's going on there too.
Speaker 3: Well, what would she say about you? Yeah, I'm just
Speaker 3: saying I suppose that's I mean, I'm just saying, we
Speaker 3: got to look at both sides.
Speaker 6: She already to agree to be my girlfriend, and I'm
Speaker 6: not like some millionaire sub desisions, not off with my money.
Speaker 5: So it's to admit something else that i'd break to
Speaker 5: the table.
Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, So let let's ride ring
Speaker 3: in it.
Speaker 5: That's what happens with body stuffs will happen?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no it isn't. No it doesn't. No,
Speaker 3: it doesn't. Jim Nance will join us on the program coming.
Speaker 6: Up, Family Show, Family Shown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you doing? I don't update the pole results.
Speaker 2: Give you a new Pole question for Pole question for
Speaker 2: hour two
