1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Monday, Dan and the 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: Dann's Dan Patrick Show are best and worst of the weekend. 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: Coming up? When is a no hitter? Not a no hitter? 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: Alex Smith now retired, we'll join us. How close did 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: he come to maybe joining the Jacksonville Jaguars as a 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: backup quarterback to Trevor Lawrence? Reunited with his college coach 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. He will join us coming up here in 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: a moment. Also, what is that like when you know 10 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: that your successor is there on the same team with you. 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers going through this, Matt Ryan might be going 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: through this. And we've seen quarterbacks down through the years 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: where firmly entrenched and then the team says, we got 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: to start thinking about the future. It happened Aaron Rodgers 15 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: with Brett Farve, you know it. Tom Brady comes in 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: and Drew Bledsoe. Although at the time you're not thinking 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is going to take over for Drew Bledsoe 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: anytime soon, because Brady was not a first round pick 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: and Bledsoe had just signed a one hundred million dollar contract. 20 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: He got hurt and then Brady stepped in and Drew 21 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: never got his job. Back Age seven seven three d 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: P show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com. 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: Twitter handled a DP show mclovin update the poll results. 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: Most likely quarterback in the top five to not work out, 25 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: Trey Lance took a slight lead over Mac Jones. For 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: what that's worth, and just to get you up to 27 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: date on what's going on, there's a lot of talk 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: from the NFL insiders that Julio Jones could be on 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: the move, could be traded, and you probably, according to 30 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: my source, would have to give up a second round pick. 31 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: He's thirty two years of age and he's a future 32 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. Would we say that, mclovin, Julio Jones future? Okay, Yeah, 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure, not quite sure what 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: it's a Hall of Famer and what is not. No. 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: I think he's really universally considered a Hall of Fame. 36 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: He's had a lot of big numbers and he's respected. 37 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Is he better than Calvin Johnson? That's a great question 38 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: because neither won anything, although Julio did play in a 39 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Both incredibly quiet during their they neither talk 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, Bolie, they're quite similar Dan. Julio Jones 41 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: started a little slow in his career because of injuries 42 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: out of college. The first three years he was good, 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: not great, But then he had about a six year 44 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: run where six Pro Bowls, two All Pros. He had 45 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: a couple of seasons with sixteen seventeen hundred yards season, 46 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: he had an eighteen hundred yards season sixteen hundred. He 47 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: led a league in a yardage a lot. So he 48 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: had a basically a six year run where he was 49 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: the best, like the facto best. And I think he's 50 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: his salary is team friendly this upcoming year. Then after that, 51 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: I think he makes about fifteen sixteen million dollars. But 52 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: if you're New England, if you were Baltimore, Seattle, what 53 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: would it take? Second round pick? He got a draft 54 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: pick in the fifties, would you give that up for 55 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: Julio Jones? I would if you're ready to win now, like, yes, Baltimore, 56 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: you got to get some receivers here. Yeah, mc clan, 57 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: But aren't you trying to build this thing around Matt Ryan? Now? 58 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: I give him every chance to sixty. If you're not 59 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: gonna take a quarterback, you're gonna take the best weapon 60 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: away from you. But Daddy, I guess you add another weapon. 61 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: You're gonna bring in Kyle Pitts unless you bring in 62 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: If you bring in a quarterback, then I could see 63 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: where you would trade Julio Jones. I get that. But 64 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: if you're bringing in Kyle Pitts, would I want to 65 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: keep Julio Jones. I'd want to keep him for this year. 66 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: See if you can do some damage there. We'll give 67 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: you our best and worst to the weekend, Todd, I'll 68 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: start with you best and worst to the weekend. Best 69 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: of the weekend. I actually watched a lot of Texas 70 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: Kentucky women's volleyball Saturday night. I was watching Lakers MAVs 71 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: flipped over for a little while Wildcats win their first 72 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: volleyball title, the first one ever for the entire SEC. 73 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: They had never won a volleyball title, so I did 74 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: check that out. So it's volleyball, women's volleyball Texas U Tuck, 75 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: extremely competitive and I have a whole new appreciation for volleyball. Stop, 76 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: what do you mean stop? I watched like a lot 77 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: of that and we're like four long sets and sect 78 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: over the volleyball one week the first time I know 79 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: we got it. I don't believe you. First worst to 80 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: the Weekend seventeen seconds to the fight UFC two sixty 81 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: one former middleweight Chip Chris Wideman's lower right leg snaps 82 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: after and I didn't fall off completely, but not quick. 83 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: I guess after your Riyah Hill checks his first leg kick. 84 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: It was similar to the way Wideman had beaten Anderson 85 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: Silva in a UFC title fight eight years prior. Mcclove 86 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: and Best and Worst of the Weekend, Best my Man 87 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: Future MVP again. Bryce Harper two home runs yesterday, Phillies 88 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: lose twelve to two to the Rockies. How do you 89 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: hit too our run to lose twelve to two? That's 90 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: subbed up to he that's when nobody else is on 91 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: and you Homer Yeah. Other worst is Kim Malkee leaving 92 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: Baylor after three titles to go to Alice You just 93 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: after she was announced it going to the Hall of 94 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: Fame with Michael Jordan now introducing her. How could you 95 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: leave the program that you've built as you're bat to 96 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: go hall of Fame. I don't understand this at all. 97 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: I feel it's a little disloyal. At was a shocker 98 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: because I'm thinking you're not leaving you build something. You've 99 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: won three national titles there, and you know she was 100 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: a staunch defender of Baylor everything that had to do 101 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: with Baylor. See No Counter best and Worst. My best 102 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: of the weekend. Did you see there was this crazy 103 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: crash at Talladega Joey Logano when airborne and a whole 104 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: bunch of cars crashed. I think actually one of the 105 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: drivers is still in the hospital, but they have this 106 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: view that Joey Logano's car flipped over Bubba Wallace's car, 107 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: and it's this really crazy view. And after it, Bubba 108 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: Wallace said, trust me, my underwears and worse shape than 109 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: my car. I guess you have to have a sense 110 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: of humor when you're doing something that reckless. Sure, and 111 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: my other best of the weekend was also UFC two 112 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: sixty one. I don't know who these guys are. I 113 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: don't know anything about fighting, but I do know that 114 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: in the main event, when you're there and a guy 115 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: throws a punch and you're smiling, Adam want to and 116 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: then ten seconds later you get knocked out boom, right 117 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: on your feet. It was awesome. It was so great. 118 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: Paul Best, Dan my Siu Salukis thirty four thirty one 119 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: of over Weaver State You're Wildcats. It was fourth and 120 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: sixth I love the name. The quarterback for siu Stone 121 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: Labana Witz love it. He hit the guy in the 122 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: end zone for the win for Salukey's and then the 123 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: one Double A playoffs continue this weekend. Team still alive 124 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: Southern South Dakota State, James mass In North Dakota, North 125 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: Dakota State, of course, Sam Houston, Delaware, Jack's Estate. All right, 126 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: no worse. If you're wondering how a pitcher can go 127 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: a whole game without allowing a hit and not have 128 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: a no hit or welcome to twenty twenty one. In 129 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, the Diamondbacks Madison Bumgardner pitched a complete 130 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: game without allowing a hit, and since it was part 131 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: of a double header, those games go seven innings and 132 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: apparently that not an official no hitter. They had a 133 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: committee that they formed back in nineteen ninety one and 134 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: said that a game had to be nine innings or 135 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: more to count as a no hitter. I have no 136 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: idea these days. A doubleheader extra innings adjustments still hard 137 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: to get used to runner on second base to start 138 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: the tenth, it doesn't feel like real baseball, and the 139 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: rules have changed. But I will say this, the NFL 140 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: gets all this attention because of rule changes or interpretation 141 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: of a rule. They get a lot of attention, a 142 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: lot of publicity. Maybe this will help baseball. But Madison 143 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Bumgardner was pretty impressive. I'm not sure if yesterday's official 144 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: outcome matters one way or another to him, but it 145 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: definitely feels weird to say he didn't get a no 146 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: hitter when nobody got a hit. If you had a 147 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: seven inning, so let's say you're pitching the second game 148 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: of the no hit or the double hitter, and it's 149 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: zero zero in the seventh and you have a no hitter, 150 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: and you throw nine innings of no hit ball, so 151 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: two innings that are extra innings and you win one 152 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: to nothing. Is that a no hitter? Because seven is 153 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,559 Speaker 1: an official game and a double header if you go nine, 154 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: does that count as a no hitter? Is Harvey Haddocks 155 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: credited with a no hitter? Harvey Haddocks, former pirate, I 156 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: believe back in the fifties, through a nine inning no hitter, 157 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: ten innings, eleven and then I think he lost to 158 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Braves in the twelfth inning. Yeah, Paul, Yeah 159 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 1: he had. In May twenty six, nineteen fifty nine, he 160 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: had pitched twelve perfect innings and lost all of it 161 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: in the thirteenth. Is he credited with a perfect game 162 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: because he did not complete but he went nine innings? Right? 163 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: A lot of guys went. You could find twenty different 164 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: guys who went in a tenth inning with a no 165 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: hitter back way back when pitchers pitched deep. If you 166 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: pitch a eight inning no hitter and it's rained out, 167 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: do you get a no hitter? Or is it is 168 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: a separate category in the Baseball record book that no 169 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: hitter rainout? Is that a separate category? I don't know. Yeah, 170 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: the rule in ninety one they change it that doesn't 171 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: count as a no hitter if it's a rainout, and 172 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: then shorten That was the point of the rule because 173 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: they didn't know about the seven inning doubleheaders there. Yeah, 174 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: But now that you have it's an official game, like, 175 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: everything counts. The stats all count, right, the wins and 176 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: losses count. Everything counts except for is it a no 177 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: hitter or not? Are we going to have separate seven 178 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: inning no hitter categories? Yes? Yeah, it's kind of bs. 179 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: They pitched the whole game. He picks a no hitter. 180 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Madison Bumgarner didn't say, hey, I only want 181 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: this game to be seven innings. Yeah, what about all 182 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: the eyes? Oh and I've seen it a million times, 183 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: going into ninth with a no hitter and blow it 184 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: like they'll be like, well we got eight and a 185 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: half an I know, I agree with you guys, it 186 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: should be a no hitter. But does anybody here feel 187 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: like Madison Bumgardner should not get credit for a no hitter, Paulie, 188 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: he should get credit for a seven inning no hitter, 189 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: which now becomes a new category, and he's first man 190 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: in because it is a different it's different than a 191 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: nine name you know, hitter. Nobody else has pitched a 192 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: seven There have been two official no hitters, I believe, 193 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: this year, but there's been no other seven inning no 194 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: hitter in a double header? Correct this year? No, I 195 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: don't think so. It must have been a rain delay 196 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: one at some point in history, but in this year, 197 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: with this format now, okay, yes, Todd, it's just absolutely 198 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: ridiculous that anytime there's a game that's recognized, no matter 199 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: how many innings they want to play with it. That 200 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: is a legal full game. All records should be on 201 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: the table, whether it's the pitcher or how many home 202 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: runs you hit or how many ribbies, any record, even 203 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: though it's seven innings. And I understand people have lost 204 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: no hitters and prep the games in the eighth and 205 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: ninth innings before, but that's insane to me. They shouldn't 206 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: have changed it to seven innings in the first place. Yes, club, 207 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: so last year they played with sixty games. Like if 208 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: the big debate is if a guy had hit four hundred, 209 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: would that count as a four hundred season? The answers no, Yeah, 210 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: Like I get that, that's only sixty games. I get 211 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: at least have to come close to a semblance of 212 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: a full season. Yeah, MC club, I have a kind 213 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: of a hot take. Will kind of give it to 214 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: me that I've started to like the guy on second 215 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: at extra innings. I was watch taking the Dodgers padres 216 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I can't sit through more innings of this. 217 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: I need them to come to a close. I know 218 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: I feel like a dork for saying that, but no, 219 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: nine innings at baseball is a long time. I don't 220 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: need four more innings, yes, time, So what's next if 221 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: the stats show that that doesn't speed things up? Now 222 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be how bet we go one out and 223 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: a runner on third and a sac fly gets the running. 224 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: You know they're just gonna keep playing with until you 225 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: find a way to get an easy running so it 226 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: doesn't go more than a tenth or eleventh innings. This 227 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: is as upset as I've seen you since you don't 228 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: know when it comes to baseball. Maybe it's my old 229 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: little league days. I just I find that insane seven 230 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: inning games that don't have a doubleheader and don't make 231 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: up the game. If it's such an inconvenience that you've 232 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: got to get out of it as quickly as possible, 233 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: and you got to take two innings well off each 234 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: of the games, then don't play any doubleheaders. If you 235 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: got to some rules counts, some don't. You got to 236 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: play into the eighth, yes, any chance, Commissioner rethinks us 237 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: after Todd's Benham, I think, so it really needs he 238 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: really needs to get back in the board room. There 239 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: there a committee there. But also so do I adjust 240 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: a picture's era because he has to face one more 241 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: hitter with the dh you know in the American League, 242 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: like do I do? I allowed to like right and 243 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: do well. Batters get fewer at bats, not many, but 244 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: you get a handful of fewer at bats if you 245 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: played a couple of doubleheaders. But we're talking baseball. Although 246 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: we were talking baseball in the first hour because Trevor 247 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: Bauer of the Dodgers gave up two home runs to 248 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis, and uh Tatis mocked him as he went 249 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: around the bases. I think he did e conno McGregor 250 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: pose too. Now he did the full Monty here it's 251 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: a guy. Hey, I'm hitting home runs off Trevor Bauer. 252 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take my time. I'm gonna mock you. But 253 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: Trevor Bauer, to his credit, said this about for an 254 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: end to Tatis. I'm all for it, and I think 255 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: it's it's important that you know. The game moves in 256 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: that direction. And we stopped throwing a people because they 257 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: celebrated having some success on the field. Another one of 258 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: those moments today, I got Hosmer on a curveball in 259 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: the dirt and hit him with a sword celebration. And 260 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: the next at BADDI hit a curveball in my face 261 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: and gave me the sword celebration. At first, we kind 262 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: of laughed about it, and we've got a little history together. 263 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: We played against each other for many years, and that's 264 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: what it is to be a competitor, you know, like 265 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go at you and I'm gonna get you sometimes, 266 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: and then you're gonna get me sometimes. So we can 267 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: have fun and we can celebrate it while we're still 268 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: competing at the highest level. I just thought it was 269 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: an important note tonight. I thought it was great. I 270 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: thought it you know, it did help that the Dodgers 271 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: won the game, so that helps Trevor Bauer's mood a 272 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: little bit. But I didn't. I liked it. If a 273 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 1: younger generation embraces this, I'm curious to see what it 274 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: will do for the game. Yeah. See, I think it's 275 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: interesting that he I mean, everybody knows that they do it, 276 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: but it's interesting to me that he's admitting that they 277 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: throw it people Oh yeah, like, oh yeah, we throw it, 278 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: Like you know, you have to stop throwing at guys 279 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: who are celebrating something they did on the field, No nous. 280 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the more cowardly acts that 281 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: we have in all of sports is when somebody Homer's 282 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: the next guy up, might go down, or the next 283 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: time you come up in the lineup, you're going down. 284 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: You could run around the bases in twelve seconds, but 285 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: somehow a pitcher is going to take it personally where 286 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: you're showing him up and I and if you're in 287 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: the American League, you know what you have to come 288 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: to the plate. If you're a pitcher, it's it's cowardly. 289 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: Or my favorite or least favorite is guy Homer's, next 290 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: guy up, Homer's the third guy up who didn't do anything, 291 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: gets thrown in or gets hit by a pitch, like, yeah, 292 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: like what did I do? I just I'm I'm keeping 293 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: my spot in the order here. Yeah. See It's like 294 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: if a dude hits a home run and the next night, hey, 295 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: before you get try not to hit one ou because 296 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. I don't want to 297 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: take one in the back, all right. It's like the 298 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: guy on deck after the guy Yeah great the plugs, 299 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: Yeah here we go. Yeah, congratulations Tommy. Yeah, I've always 300 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: wished they would do this as a rule. You know 301 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: how one up batter is upset and he wants to 302 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: charge amount. He can charge amount, and that's legal. Let 303 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: the picture in batter duke it out, But no one 304 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: else is allowed to engage the fight because you know, 305 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: the guys in the dugout for the team with the bat, 306 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: they're right there. They could just pile over the picture. 307 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: You know, the guys in the outfield. Takes them like 308 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: thirty seconds to get there. It's an unfair fight. No 309 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: one's allowed to on a mound rush engage at it's 310 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: mono amano or imano or a yeah, uh, Julio Jones 311 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: apparently he's on the trade trading block according to sources. 312 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: Then you also have the situation with the Niners that 313 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: they're on the clock with the number three pick, and 314 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: who are they going to take? Is it Trey Lance, 315 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: is it Mac Jones? Feels like it's those two, and 316 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: you've got probably differing opinions with the Niners. It's weird 317 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: to have differing opinions. This is what I'm told, differing 318 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: opinions on Trey Lance and Mac Jones. Because when you 319 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: make that trade, when Kyle Shanahan says to John Lynch, 320 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to go up and get my guy. Does 321 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: anybody say, well, can we hold on a little bit here? 322 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: Can we can we vet this out a little bit? 323 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: And that's what's surprising. Did you do that? Did you 324 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: know who you were going to do? They know who 325 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: they're going to take? Feels like they do, But it 326 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: feels like there's it's not unanimous. There's not uniformity when 327 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: it comes to this pick with the Niners.

Do you feel like 457 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: a former player? Now? You know? It's funny because you know, 458 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: through the injury, I kind of almost fell into that 459 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: as well. Like I you know, I was on the 460 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: brink of former football player for a while. So I 461 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: felt like I've I've dabbled in this this this pool before, 462 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: and so yeah, it's not unnatural for me. But also, like, 463 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: is your routine the same? Like you are you still 464 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: training working out? How does that work? Yeah? I honestly 465 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: I think my routine very much this time of year 466 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: is the same. Yeah, I still I still mix it up. 467 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: I love enjoining mean as a quarterback. Listen, you know, 468 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, me getting under a squat rack, you know, 469 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: three hundred sixty five days a year isn't practical nor 470 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: does it help me be a better quarterback. So for 471 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: the last several years, I've enjoyed doing different things in 472 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: the off season as far as training goes, and I 473 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: still do those things, so that part of my life 474 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: hasn't changed. I think here as you know, as we 475 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: creep towards summer and fall, obviously that's going to be 476 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: the true test, you know, because for every fall, for 477 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: the last you know, twenty five plus years of my life, 478 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: it's revolved around football. And you know that that obviously 479 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: is set to change. So I'm excited for it, you know, 480 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: I know, I know it's not always going to be 481 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: a smooth transition, but but I look forward to the 482 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: unknown and what lays a head. But is it your 483 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: mind or your body? That has to be convinced right now, like, oh, 484 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: my mind, without a doubt in my mind, my body 485 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with it. My body could I 486 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: could still roll. I'm in better shape than I was 487 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: a year ago. I mean, I think the further I 488 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: get removed from this injury, you know, they only I'm 489 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: only getting stronger, so my body feels better and better 490 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: or no, but your body reminds you. There's certain times 491 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: of the year where you go, I'm supposed to be 492 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: doing this, like late July or August, Like, what are 493 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: you going to be like on a Sunday in September? Yeah, 494 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a great question. I don't 495 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm you know, if I totally 496 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: know what that's going to be like, you know, if 497 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm ready for it, And obviously a time will tell 498 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: when we get there. I do think, yeah, I mean 499 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: for chunk of my life, Yeah, that I've always had 500 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,239 Speaker 1: that release, you know, to go to to lace up 501 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: cleats and get back out on the field and um, 502 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, push yourself in that kind of environment and 503 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: you can't simulate that anywhere else. You can't get that feeling, 504 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: that rush, that sensation anywhere else, and so it is 505 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: incredibly unique. So we'll see, we'll see if yeah, if 506 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: I do miss it. I feel at this point I'm 507 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: in a great place. You know. I've played a ton 508 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: of football. I'm I'm looking forward to all the things 509 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: I can go do with my family and my kids, 510 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: things that I've put off for a long time because 511 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: of football. When did you have that epiphany that you went, Okay, 512 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm good with this. Honestly, the first the first time 513 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: I ever thought it that it first hit me. This 514 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: is no joke. I was. I went skiing and so 515 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: boarding with my kids, and it was something that I 516 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: put off for a long time because of football ever 517 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: since I'm in Vin since college, and then when the 518 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: injury happened, I wondered if I doubted if I'd ever 519 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: be able to go again. And my dad is my 520 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: parents have taken my kids, so they they're pretty decent 521 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: scares at this point. I haven't ever been with them, 522 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: you know. And I grew up my dad taught me 523 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: to ski when I was two years old. I grew 524 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: up going with my family and it was always this 525 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: family environment. So I got to go this year. It 526 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: was amazing. It was an amazing experience for me, full 527 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: of the same range emotions like before. I had a 528 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: ton of anxiety, couldn't couldn't sleep, you know, wondering about 529 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: my leg and how it hold up, and u and 530 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: then to get out there with my kids and my 531 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: dad also and for all of us to be on 532 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: the mount together and my mom and you know, it 533 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: was it was an amazing experience. So for me, Yeah, 534 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: there was a moment where I we paused on the 535 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: side of the mountain and my two boys were next 536 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: to me and my dad was there as well, and yeah, 537 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: it definitely hit me that I want more of that, 538 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, I want to I want to chase more 539 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: of that. I've been putting that off for a long 540 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: long time and I can go do that now. And 541 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: the reason I can go do it is partly because 542 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: I pursued football. You know that. I knew if I 543 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: pushed football as hard as I could all the other 544 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: things in life, I wouldn't have any limitations. So I'm 545 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: excited to go to go and knock down some more 546 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: walls that I've built up. Yeah, but I thought it 547 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: was a little pretentious of you to hold a press 548 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: conference on the Ski Mountain there to announced that you 549 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: were retiring. I mean, I mean nobody was there, but 550 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, you had your moment, had your press conference. 551 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: And I thought all along the last month or so 552 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: six weeks that you would join Urban and and go 553 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville and help tutor Trevor Lawrence. But I didn't 554 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: know the competitor in you that wants to start, you know, 555 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: like it do I want to be a mentor? And 556 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: so I wondered, how what was that? How difficult was 557 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: that decision? Oh? I think you hit it. I battled 558 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: that a lot internally, that role, and I have no 559 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: problem obviously mentoring. I love it. In fact, you know, 560 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: being a m quarterback, especially a high draft pick and 561 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: expectations and I enjoy talking about a way not to 562 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: do it. You know. For me, how I struggled with 563 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: those expectations and anxiety and you know, trying to get 564 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: validation every single day. And I feel like I never 565 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: allowed myself that process to grow into that franchise quarterback. 566 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: I felt like I had to be that day one 567 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: and put a ton of pressure on myself to be that, 568 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: and it just mounted and mounted, and it was this 569 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: this cycle that was not productive at all. So I 570 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: enjoy you know, trying to help Obviously, Yeah, other young 571 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks not go down that road, you know, and there's 572 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: a better way to do it. And but I do 573 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: struggle with the sense of doing it in a role 574 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: where you're playing, you know, and preparing and to be 575 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: the starter and to go out there and do that 576 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: versus the back seat that you really now you know, 577 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: obviously it's a lot of talk. It's a lot of 578 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: talk less play, and so UH struggled if I wanted 579 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: to do that, what that looked like. Um so, yeah, 580 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: all all those things, but Jacksonville definitely was the same 581 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: thing was it was something that was really interesting to me. 582 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: Um coach Meyern and I are still still close to 583 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: this day, so you know for a fact that I'll 584 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: be close to twenty years down the line and he's 585 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: now in the pros and to think about potentially helping 586 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: him build that thing was was exciting to me. But 587 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: in the end, you know, I think all those other 588 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: things went out. But if somebody offered you a starting job, 589 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: if Washington and said, hey, would we be having this conversation, 590 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: would it be a different conversation. Yeah, Oh maybe I mean, 591 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: I think for me, I wanted to see all the 592 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: all the options out there. I wanted to see everything 593 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: that was on the table, obviously including retirement, and then 594 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: make the most informed decision I could. I didn't want 595 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: to rush anything. I wanted to see everything that was 596 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: out there. And yeah, so I felt like I did that, 597 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: um and and then based off all of those options, 598 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I at this point, I'm moving forward 599 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: with retirement. You know, I don't think you ever want 600 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: to never say never, but yeah, I'm I'm full steam 601 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: ahead with that at this point. He's Alex Smith, former 602 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: football player. You know, your one leg got all the attention. 603 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: It's your other leg that I'd like to give some 604 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: attention to today. Yeah, all right, all right, yeah, Like 605 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,959 Speaker 1: it's done a lot of work. There never gets any coverage, 606 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: angs never and you know, and it's it's uh, I 607 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: still I still some muscle from it too, my right 608 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: leg from from my left, so my left, my left's 609 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: been really you know, picking up the slack and it's 610 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: been shorthanded. So um. You know, it's amazing what the 611 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 1: human body can do. And I remember when they were 612 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: explaining to this the procedure to me, in the hospital 613 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait, you're gonna take You're gonna make 614 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: my good leg, You're gonna make it weaker. You know, 615 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: you were going to take one of my quad muscles. 616 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: And I remember thinking at that point my left leg 617 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: was everything. I mean, the only way I got around 618 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: was jumping around on my left leg at all. I 619 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: mean it was and I kept thinking, where we were 620 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: gonna make this weaker so that I can you know, 621 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: and this one it might not even work, you know, 622 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: is what they keep telling you. And so it's funny 623 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: now looking back, they tell you that you're you know, 624 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: your your left leg will adapt and you'll be surprised 625 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: at how strong it will get. And um, they were right. 626 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: Funny of those doctors were right. It's it's crazy how 627 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: how the human body can adapt. And I feel like 628 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: my left legs probably stronger than it was before the 629 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: injury and the operation where they took my muscle. You 630 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: remember the last time we had you in person was 631 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. I remember it well, and you got traded 632 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: five hours later. Yeah. Yeah, when you came in to 633 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: do that interview, did you know you were going to 634 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: be traded? Absolutely? Without it that okay, good. It was 635 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: one of those things like that, you know, basically the 636 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: trade had been had been done, nothing had been signed 637 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: or anything, but they're, you know, still working out the 638 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: details essentially. You know, you're you're you're signing an extension 639 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: as well. But yeah, that was all basically kind of 640 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: in the works and I pretty much done at that 641 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: point where I was with you guys that day. What's 642 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: it like though, when you know and you're going to 643 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: see Matt Ryan's probably going to see this, Uh, you know, 644 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: the veterans see this, Aaron Rodgers is seeing this. When 645 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you see the future and you go, 646 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: we certainly could have used that draft pick on somebody 647 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: who could help us this year. So when the Chiefs 648 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: take Patrick Mahomes, what did it? You know, you know 649 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: your days are numbered? Did you feel your days were numbered? Um? 650 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: You know, I think there were a couple of things. Yeah, 651 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean, well, obviously they're taking it. We moved up 652 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: to take Patrick early, so I knew, you know, no question, 653 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: obviously the future was in him. I think for me, 654 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: I was going into my thirteenth year and I could 655 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: either let this distract me from continuing to play good 656 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: football play winning football, you know, and certainly there were 657 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, media distractions to try to 658 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: pit us against each other or you know, I could 659 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: choose not to buy into that and really not let 660 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: it distract me from what I wanted to go do 661 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: and continue down my road towards trying to reach my 662 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: potential and play the best you know football I could play, 663 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: which I felt like I was still going down that road. 664 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: So I think, through everything I've been through is really 665 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: meet determined to not you know, essentially here not this 666 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: become another distraction for me, and I you know, I 667 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: think thankfully and proud of the fact that you know, 668 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: we everybody included that Patrick, you know, coach read, the 669 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: entire organization, chose not to not let that be what 670 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: everybody was trying to make it be. You know, that 671 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: it could be done a different way that that we 672 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: could coexisted are we weren't pitted against each other, And 673 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: so yeah, and ended up having probably one of the 674 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: best years of my career, maybe the best, in the 675 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: face of that, and essentially determined to tell myself that 676 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: if I played good football, I was I was going 677 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,879 Speaker 1: to have a job, you know, and or I could 678 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: let this distract me and not play good football, and 679 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: then it would become this self fulfilling prophecy. You know, 680 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: you made it tough on all the Comeback Players of 681 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: the Year that will follow you, because probably not a 682 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: lot of them. Well did you nearly die? Did you 683 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: nearly lose your leg? Well? Alex Smith did? Like, uh, 684 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: like what did you come back from? You know, like 685 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: you really made it tough. Um, you know, I think that, Uh, 686 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: it's hard. I mean football. The crazy thing is, I 687 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: think there's so much that goes on that doesn't get seen. 688 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,479 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously this is one of the most violent 689 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: games on the planet. And the carnage, you know, like 690 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: the amount of guys that are up for Comeback Player 691 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: of the Year every single year, and what they go 692 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: through behind the scenes to get back, the surgeries, the 693 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: toll this game takes on the human body. Um, there's 694 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: so many guys that deserve recognition. Um. Certainly, obviously what 695 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: happened with me was unique, you know in the sense 696 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 1: of obviously the breaking my leg and then the infection 697 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: on top of it. So um, no, I mean every 698 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: all those I mean everybody. You know, there's so many 699 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: guys that deserve recognition for what they put in, especially 700 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: this time of year when no one's looking. Yeah, but 701 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: if they come back from meniscus tear or something like that, 702 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: like turf toll, Come on, Alex, I mean, you know 703 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: you made it.
