Spend a lot of time in the 30 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: first hour trying to dissect, diagnosed, understand what happened yesterday 31 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown, his head coach. By the way, Bruce 32 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: Arians has a rupture achilles. He will continue to coach, 33 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: have surgery in the offseason. According to Jay Glazer, Pole question, Paulie, 34 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: the question and the results from the first down. All right, 35 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: if you don't have a team in the upcoming NFL playoffs, 36 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: which team is the most rootable? I don't even know 37 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: if that's a correct pronunciation or grammar. Bengals, Bills, Cardinals, 38 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: Other Cardinals got eight percent, Bills got twenty two percent. 39 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: You're Bengals, Dan, lovable Bengals fifty eight percent of America 40 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 1: lex them. Well, I think you like how they play 41 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: because of Burrow and Jamar Chase. That's part of it. 42 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: And you have to I guess factor in the history 43 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: here that they have been really bad, but then they've 44 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: made two Super Bowls as well. Yeah, seton. Are the 45 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: Titans rootable or did they used to be rootable? Last year? 46 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: They were super route? Yes, they were super rootable and 47 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is probably going to be back. I think 48 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: when Derrick Henry is there, they're rootable. I don't know 49 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: if they're rootable right now. It feels like adding Julio 50 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: Jones made you like, Okay, now now you're legit. There's 51 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: no more Cinderella story there. Yeah. I like Rabel. He's 52 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: the guy kind of guy i'd love to play for, 53 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: I think, But I don't think they're I don't know. 54 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: It always just feels like it's twenty three to nineteen 55 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, Pully, Mike Rabel is so jealous of 56 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: Arians playing through the playoffs with a torn achilles. He 57 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: would love to be the Achilles guy. He may do that, 58 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: just both of them. You're just scheduled to pick up 59 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: basketball game for later. Yeah. Nothing pops an achilles more 60 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: than those Yeah, Packers, Clinch and I think Aaron Rodgers 61 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: won the MVP last night. And I mentioned this a 62 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago with Aaron Rodgers with all the 63 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: injuries and I, you know, Aaron Rodgers toe, and I 64 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: put this out there. I just said for public consumption, 65 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: do they get to the point if they clinch the 66 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: NFC the number one seed, does Aaron Rodgers sit out 67 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: a game? And that last game against the Detroit Lions. 68 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: Here's Aaron Rodgers on the topic. Aaron, I don't know 69 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: if these are two different answers here, but do you 70 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: want to play next week? And do you think you 71 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: need to play next week? I don't think I need 72 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: to play, just like I don't think I need to 73 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: practice all the time. But I do enjoy practicing. And 74 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: this is a first game that my toe got through 75 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: the game without any issues, no pregame pain killer shot. 76 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: So I'm feeling good. I mean, I'm happy about it. 77 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: There was definitely a time a few weeks ago and 78 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: start to project out and think if we can get 79 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: the one seed, that could be you know, two plus 80 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: weeks or rest. But I'm gonna play next week and 81 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: I expect the Monte to play and our guys to play. 82 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: So we're looking forward to finish off the season on 83 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: a high note and then getting to buy Okay, I 84 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: mean it's sounds good right after the game, right after 85 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: the win. Let's see how the rest of this week 86 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: plays out. But if you sit out this week and 87 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: then you get the bye week, so that's two weeks 88 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: you're not playing at that position. I want to make 89 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: sure my quarterback stays sharp at other positions. I'm a 90 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: lot more lenient at saying, you know what, give yourself 91 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: another week's rest. And it sounds like Aaron Rodgers agrees 92 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: with that. Is he going to play against Detroit? How 93 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: long will he play against Detroit? But we see sometimes 94 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: that team that has a first round by is really 95 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: sluggish in the first half of that first playoff game. 96 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: That'd be the only thing I'd be concerned about here. 97 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: But this team is getting better at the right time. 98 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: And I still think my Super Bowl prediction to start 99 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: the year is going to happen. It's Green Bay against 100 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: Kansas City. Give credit to the Cincinnati Bengals because they 101 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: played like a playoff team yesterday. They did what you 102 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: want a playoff team to do. They won the game 103 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: against a very good Kansas City team. All right, we'll 104 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: get phone calls coming up. Football lost a legend last 105 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: week we were off for the holidays when John Madden 106 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: unexpectedly passed away. You know, people forget he retired from 107 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: coaching at the age of forty two. That's extremely young. 108 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: There have been coaches who have had a separate coaching 109 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: career on top of their NFL coaching career more than 110 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: John Madden. Now Bill Belichick, I think, has coached twenty 111 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: three seasons after his forty second birthday. I mean, Jimmy 112 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: Johnson was fifty six when he retired, and that felt young. 113 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: John Madden was only forty two, and people forget how 114 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: great he was as a coach. Might be that it 115 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: still might have the best winning percentage of all time, 116 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: but he also had a thirty year broadcasting career called 117 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowls won, Emmy's became the face 118 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: of football a new generation, the Madden video game and 119 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, the celebration of the man around the NFL 120 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: was fitting. And you know the special that Fox did 121 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: was really well done. And I first time I met 122 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: John was in the mid eighties when I was in 123 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: New York working for CNN, and he was such a 124 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: big star at the time, and I remember I went 125 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: up to him at the NFL Draft and I said, hey, 126 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: I would love to know if you could do something 127 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: where he was going to be. He has these Miller 128 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: like commercials where he breaks through, you know, a piece 129 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: of big screen of paper like the commercials not over yet, 130 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: and I thought, maybe he could do something where, you know, 131 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: I believe me, I should never have asked, but I'm 132 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: asking John if he would recreate that for my story 133 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: I was doing on the NFL draft for CNN, like 134 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: this draft story with Dan Patrick is not over yet. 135 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: Whatever it was, it was stupid, but I went to 136 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: John and you could see the look on you know, 137 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: his face when I said, hey, you know, I'm Dan Patrick. 138 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: I work at CNN, all right, Dan Patrick, mister Madden, 139 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: and um, you could just see his face was like, um, 140 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: how do I say no in a polite way? And 141 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: he's I said, you know, here's the here's how it's 142 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: gonna be. And then you're gonna be all energetic and 143 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna bust through and you're gonna say it's not 144 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: over yet, but but it's gonna be over. And he goes, 145 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think so, and I go, okay, 146 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: all right, But I mean he was very nice about him. 147 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: A couple of years later, I'm at ESPN and I 148 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: meet him and I said, uh, hey, John, I'm Dan 149 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: Patrick Sports Center and he goes, I don't think so, 150 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: and I go what. He goes, didn't you ask me 151 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 1: one time to do something for you when you were 152 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: at the draft? And I go, yes, yes I did. 153 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: And then he he just laughed and he put his 154 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: hand on my shoulder and then he walked into the 155 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: Madden Cruiser. So I don't I had very But I 156 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: worked with John at NBC for the Super Bowl, and 157 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: I was always very hesitant to go up to him 158 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: because I always thought he was going to say I 159 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: don't think so. But those who were all when you 160 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: were around John, he just loved telling stories. And I 161 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: always appreciated that that John loved the game more than 162 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: anything else. John loved the game, promoted the game. The 163 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: safety of the game was so important to John. But 164 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: to be around him and just to get on the 165 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: Madden Cruiser, that was a big deal. And when you 166 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: walked on it was like, I mean that was tricked 167 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: out that was where you go, you know what, I 168 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: could do this because John had a fear of flying, 169 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: and but he was you know, they're legendary stories about John. 170 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: First of all, Yeah, he didn't want you to use 171 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: the bathroom on the Madden Cruiser. But if you did 172 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: use the bathroom, you couldn't go number two. And there 173 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: were a couple of people, including Wayne Gretzky, who did. 174 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: And that's upper echelonducing though, that's upper up, the great one. 175 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: It just outed Wayne Gretzky. Yeah, well Matt Millen too. 176 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: Matt Millen did too, but but John just like there 177 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: were little things where you go. Damn. I love that story. Yeah, 178 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: PAULI like Wayne Gretzky would be allowed to use any bathroom. 179 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: Matt Millan good player, but not not bathroom worth. Yeah, 180 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about Gretzky used my bathroom. Matt Millen, 181 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: he might detonate. Yes, that's one of those scenarios that 182 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: when you're on the bus, everybody's got a timer going 183 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: off and you cross a threshold of like, oh so 184 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: we just went from one to two here, and everybody knows. 185 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: There's no hiding in that scenario. It's like how much 186 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: time goes from that's one. Oh, that's that's definitely a 187 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: two situation. Heaven. Oh you can just imagine John Madden going, oh, 188 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: that's a doucer. Oh, come on, great sky and then 189 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: boom and then he went, yeah, I love though that. 190 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky can get away with anything you like. If 191 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: you drow up to my house right now, let him 192 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: use my bathroom. Of course they would. Uh, you know, 193 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: you can go one or two in my house, whatever 194 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: you want, go three.

And 200 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: when you think of John, you know, John was you know, 201 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: Dick Vike vi Town was big too, college basketball huge, 202 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: probably the most influential person involved in college basketball in history. 203 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: What he did for how long he's done it, with 204 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: the enthusiasm that he did it, And John was doing 205 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: that with the NFL. But John didn't set out to 206 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: be that, I know, you know, he retired at forty two, 207 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, he's calling games. And 208 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: do you know who was supposed to be there? So 209 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: Madden Football. There were two other former players who were 210 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: supposed to be It was going to be their video game. Now, 211 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: this is what I was told over the weekend by 212 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: somebody who works on the game. Okay, one is star status, legendary, 213 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: and the other one is you would never in a 214 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: million years. Guess anybody want to guess who was? I 215 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: don't think this is first choice. Well, let me take 216 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: that back. I think this name was first choice, that 217 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: he was going to have his own video game, and 218 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: he couldn't because I think he was involved with Atari 219 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: at the time. Joe Montana the other former quarterback. I'll 220 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: even give you the team and you probably won't get it. 221 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: The Vikings Joe Capp. Joe Capp who played for the 222 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: Vikings first couple of Super Bowls, I believe. And those 223 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: were the former players who were involved, or at least 224 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: the conversation of it. It was going to be their 225 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: video game. And John was told, you want to buy stock, 226 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna give you this opportunity to buy all this stock. 227 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: And John decided not to buy the stock and then boom, 228 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: yeah and boom it went crazy. Yeah, yes, Paul, he's 229 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: about ten. Twelve years ago, EA Sports bought out John 230 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: Madden's name in perpetuity for the game. They gave him 231 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: a one a lump sum payment of one hundred and 232 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars and he was offered a chance to 233 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: roll that one fifty back into the stock, like you said, 234 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: and he passed that one fifty. I'm estimating here would 235 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: be close to a billion, Yeah, probably eight on a 236 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: million safely. Someone just tweeted at its turned ducking wow. 237 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Fritzie. How are you not involved? It's 238 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: just a shame. If I ever would have been able 239 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: to go on that Madden bus, they would have kicked 240 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: me out right away. So that's suspiciously quiet. Yeah, why 241 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: is John Madden late for the big Monday night football game? 242 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: You imagine though, DC's Fritzie. It's like, you know how 243 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: the bus driver closes the billy on board, kick me 244 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: out in some town in the middle of nowhere. I 245 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: gotta find my one way the rest of the way 246 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: across the country. Yeah. Deuce McCalister was never allowed on 247 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: the map Cruiser. No, he was none. Yes, seed, Well 248 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: that's gonna be yeah, I'm gonna pull out of this one, Okay, 249 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: all right, all right, that's good. All right, Let's see 250 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: what else do I have here? So Green Bay clinched 251 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: the number one seed, and let's see what else do 252 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: we have. Tennessee pass Kansas City and we'll clinch the 253 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: AFC number one seed by winning at Houston on Sunday. 254 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: Only one of the fourteen seeds is set. That's Green Bay. 255 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: Eleven teams have clinched. It looks like the NBC Sunday 256 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: Night game will be the win and you're in Chargers Raiders. 257 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: Is gonna be fun. And I give the Raiders a 258 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: lot of credit to go to Indianapolis and win that game, 259 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: because I don't think many people thought that they could 260 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: do that. The Eagles they're in. They clinched a wild 261 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: card berth right, They're not beating good teams. Their last 262 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: four wins have come against teams with four, six, four 263 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: and six wins. But Nick Sirianni and his rookie season 264 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: has done a really wonderful job there. But Green Bay Packers, 265 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: we got the number one seed. Right now. Throughout the playoffs. 266 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: All right, well, take a break your phone calls are 267 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: coming up. Next.

I'll give you my thoughts on that 291 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: coming up as well. Eight seven seven three d P 292 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: show we'll give you our best and worst of the weekend. 293 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: I was wondering about this trend with the number of 294 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: fourth down attempts that we're seeing, because it feels like 295 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: we're seeing more of those now than two years ago. 296 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one, you have the number fourth down attempts. 297 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: The Lions lead with thirty eight fourth down attempts. Washington 298 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: Football team is next, followed by the Bears, Jags, Bronchos, Panthers, 299 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: and Jets. Success rate is pretty promising when you think 300 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: about some of these teams and their success rate. Lions 301 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 1: fifty percent of the time, Washington Football Team forty eight 302 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: percent of the time they convert forty seven percent for 303 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: the Bears, fifty six for the Jags, fifty seven for 304 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: the Broncos, forty three for the Panthers, The Jets forty 305 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: six would be a little bit higher. If they had 306 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: done that yesterday, they would have won the game. The 307 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: Ravens are converting sixty eight percent of the time, the 308 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: Colts sixty seven percent, Patriot sixty five percent, Chiefs sixty 309 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: four percent, Bengal sixty three percent. So you can see 310 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: how the number of teams are looking at this, and 311 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: you're starting to look at the analytics. This is the 312 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: most fourth down attempts in a season since nineteen ninety one. 313 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: That's as far back as they go with these numbers. 314 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: Not normally it's around five hundred attempts fourth down attempts 315 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: this season seven hundred and twenty nine attempts. Stead of 316 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: the day, stat of the days, stat of the day, 317 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: stat of the day comes that what stat of the day, 318 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: And it feels like it's the younger coaches now who 319 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: are embracing this. Fans love it, but if you're a 320 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: Jets fan yesterday, you're probably thinking, yeah, let's make sure 321 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady doesn't come back and haunt us. I 322 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: was fine if you're going to go for it on 323 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: fourth and two, but I don't want my quarterback, who's 324 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: the smallest guy on the field running the football when 325 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: I have, I've had a really good running game and 326 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: that's what surprised me. And then it turns out that 327 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: maybe the play that was supposed to be called wasn't 328 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: called correctly and Zach Wilson didn't get the first down. 329 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: You gave Tom Brady a chance, and of course Tom 330 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: Brady does what Tom Brady always does. Let's see a 331 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: couple of phone calls.

First, 335 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: I'd like to do best and worst of the break. 336 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: Just want to say it's been wonderful to have my 337 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: stepson Cody here from the Marines from Camp Penelton for 338 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: two weeks. Worst is he's leaving today so we have 339 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: to say bye. But anyways, it's been great to have him. 340 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: Best and worst of the weekend, Dan, Best of the weekend, 341 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase rookie record single season, I mean single game 342 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: receiving yards and on my fantasy team. And worst of 343 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: the weekend, like we've kind of talked about this morning, 344 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: is Antonio Brown. I think you hit it on the head. 345 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: I think that hit from bond test perfect in the 346 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: past did something. And I wish they had an earlier 347 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: indication of CTE because the definitely something different about him. 348 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, Andrew. You know, I was wondering about this 349 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: that apparently reportedly Antonio Brown didn't want to go back 350 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: in that he had tweaked his ankle and didn't feel 351 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: comfortable enough. Okay, I mean, I'm fine with that if 352 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: that was his reasoning, But it certainly seemed like that 353 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: ankle was okay as he's leaving the field, jumping up 354 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: and down. Oh I'm not sure. Maybe he was toughing 355 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: it out as he's leaving the field. But there's still there. 356 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: There's another story to be told here, it feels like. 357 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: But we'll find out. Antonio Brown may not be the 358 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: one talking about it anytimes. I know Tom Brady is 359 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: not going to. I wonder how much of a conversation 360 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: this is going to be tonight on Tom's podcast with 361 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald. And does Larry Fitzgerald say 362 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: to Tom, hey be more than happy to come back, 363 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: give me a six week contract. Tom, I'd be more 364 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: than happy. Larry doesn't have a ring, not that he 365 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: needs it, but he's still a Hall of Famer. Yeah, 366 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: just throwing that out there, Alan Atlanta hi Al Best 367 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: and worst of the weekend or in Man Happy New 368 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: Year's sixty three and a sad post COVID two ninety. 369 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: Best of the weekend was Kyle Pitts becoming the second 370 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: ever tight end to achieve in a thousand yard receiving 371 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: season in his rookie season.

And I know 417 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: the reaction is, well, see, Cincinnati didn't belong there, No 418 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: Cincinnati did. In my opinion, Cincinnati belonged there doesn't mean 419 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: that you know it was gonna be competitive.

And Notre Dame's gotten blown out before 424 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: Cincinnati when they didn't score touchdowns early, and I just 425 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: said that you're gonna you know, you're gonna lose. It's 426 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: gonna come back and haunt you. You have to put 427 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: a little pressure on Alabama. And they weren't able to 428 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: do that.

Um. 446 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is best or worst of 447 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: the weekend. I'm very dark and snarky. Betty White tapping 448 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: out at ninety nine. What a great career in great 449 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: life she had, But as a comedian there has to 450 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: be some type of snarky. They have a special for 451 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: her in two weeks they're going to celebrate one hundred 452 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: birthday and National TV show People magazine put out a 453 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: cover on her two days before she passed away. I 454 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: wonder at all she's like kind of laughing that she 455 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: screwed up their plans. And then again, I don't know 456 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: if this is my best or worst of the weekend. 457 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: But the Tony Rome was making seventeen million dollars a year. 458 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: And here's towards the end of the Bengals game, him 459 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: breaking down what the Bengals should do on fourth down 460 00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: gown even with the games time, Well, okay, there you go. 461 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: That's kind of decisive. So he's definitely and then he's not. 462 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: It depends, but he will Yeah, no kidding this and 463 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: this is exactly the scenario where it depends. Do you think, well, 464 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: don't you have to follow up and Jim Nancy? Okay, 465 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: depends on what So if you watch the end of 466 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: that game Cincinnati against the Chiefs, the last that fourth 467 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: Downds scenario, that goal line situation took about seventeen minutes 468 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: of real time. Romo went back and forth whether they 469 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: should go forward to kick the field go about the 470 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: sixteen times. It's just disappointing, frustrating right now. Wow, that's 471 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: not fair. I'm not fair to bring that back. It's 472 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: just disappointing. Yeah, he was so definitive and then he 473 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: was so noncommittal. Play it again. Here we think, yes, 474 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: but I'm going forward on fourth Town even with the 475 00:28:53,360 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: game time. Well that clears that up. Even within a game. 476 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: Maybe Tony didn't know the game was tied. I think 477 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: he did. That's why you're the best in the business, Tony. 478 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: You get a raise. That depends. Uh. Kurt curb Street, 479 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: sleep Deprived, analyst for The Mother's Ship, was on college 480 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: game day and he had this to say about players 481 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: opting out of bowl games what's the difference as a 482 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: player and saying these games are meaningless when as we 483 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: played in quote unquote meaningless games. I mean, I know 484 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: you guys were here a lot, but I just don't 485 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: understand if you don't make it to the playoff, how 486 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: is it meaningless to play football and compete. Isn't that 487 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: what we do as football players? We compete? So I 488 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: don't know if I don't know if changing is expanding it, 489 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: he's going to change anything. I really don't. I think 490 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: this era player just doesn't love football. Okay, now that's 491 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: what people pulled out of this. That's the poll quote, 492 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: as we like to say in the business. Now. Herbie 493 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: did clarify later by saying you didn't mean every player, 494 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: which is obvious not every player. But you know, I 495 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: think we have to understand what it was like when 496 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: we were growing up is not reality. You can't have 497 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: this sanctimonious nonsense that says you don't love the game 498 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: because you're not going to play in a bowl game. 499 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: And Matt Correll getting hurt, I know that that's emblematic 500 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: of the player think should be thinking about, you know, 501 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: playing in the NFL if he wants to play it's 502 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: up to him. We don't need to put pressure on 503 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett to play or not play. Ohio state wide 504 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: receivers whether they play or they don't. Why is it 505 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: that players can't look at this as a business because 506 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: the coaches do right. Brian Kelly wasn't with Notre Dame, 507 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley wasn't with Oklahoma. We're okay with that, and 508 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: they're the ones making ten, twelve, sixteen million dollars a year. 509 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: You don't want to play, you don't feel like you 510 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: need to play, you're being advised not to play. I 511 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: don't look at that and say you don't love the game. 512 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: I think you're looking at this as a business. And 513 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: I didn't agree with what Herb Street had to say 514 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: or Desmond Howard because we're caught up in this time 515 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: capsule that says you gotta love the game and you 516 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: gotta go play in that game, the pool and weed 517 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: Eater game, Bowl game. You better play. That's the way 518 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: we do it. We love football. You can love football. 519 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: They love football, and they would like to be paid 520 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: for playing football. They would love to play in the NFL, 521 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: They would love to have a long career in the NFL. 522 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: We don't let players look at this as a business, 523 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: but we certainly let coaches who abandoned their teams. They 524 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: didn't give a dam. Do you love football? Well, yeah, 525 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: but I love money too, Yeah, because that's what that's 526 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: at the forefront of all to this. Yeah. Pull There 527 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: is a counter argument to say that they are paid now, 528 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: they are paid athletes that they can market themselves. I 529 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: like Kenny Pickett didn't play in the Bowl game. I 530 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: wonder if his NIL agreements are okay with that? What 531 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: did he agree to any companies say like I'll play 532 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: a full season or Matt Croll did he play to 533 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: satisfy some type of side deal he had Maybe, yeah, 534 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: but it's but it's their choice. Like kurkkurb Street makes 535 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: millions of dollars, so does Desmond Howard. Like who were 536 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: you to say whether somebody's son should be playing in 537 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: a Bowl game or not? The mother ship carries all 538 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: of the bowl games. They want star power. Like there's 539 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: a conflict of interest here because it sounds like you're 540 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: just spewing out something that ESPN wants you to say. 541 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: And I don't agree with that. And I think Herbie's 542 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: going to join us maybe later this week, yeah, seton. Yeah. 543 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: It feels like it's always the people getting rich off 544 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: the games that are like, hey, you mean star player, 545 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: you have to play. I want them to play. I 546 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: wanted to see Kenny pick At play. I wanted to 547 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: say Christian McCaffrey or Leonard Fournette play, but I didn't go. 548 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm not watching now. Is it the matchup when we 549 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and we expanded in the twelve teams, 550 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: will we have less players sitting out? Maybe hopefully, but 551 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: there's no guarantee. And I don't single out Matt Carroll 552 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: and say that's why you shouldn't play. He made a 553 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,479 Speaker 1: decision and it's up to him. I don't know if 554 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: it hurts his draft stock. I mean, Sam Bradford separated 555 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: his shoulder, he ended up still being the number one pick. 556 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley tore up his knee, Willis mcgahey blew his 557 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: knee out. There's certain moments, but in certain players in 558 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: their careers are derailed by this, But it's up to 559 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: the individual. Paul Feinbaum Will John is coming up next. 560 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: Four more phone calls as well. Back after this.

Paul's part of ESPN's exclusive coverage 578 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two college football Playoff National Title Game, 579 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: kicking off next Monday, January tenth at eight Eastern. Paul, 580 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: is it a good thing that Georgia and Alabama are 581 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: meeting again for a national championship. Well, you know that 582 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm contractually obligated not to say anything negative, but by 583 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: the way, keep that in mind for the next question 584 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: of the one after that as well. I heard the 585 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: previous segment. Yeah, I doubt this is not a good 586 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: thing for college football. And I say that because I 587 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: think the whole idea for fans that you want to 588 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: see something different, you want to see something interesting. You 589 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: would like to see East versus West, North versus South. 590 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: So seeing a game that we saw five weeks ago 591 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: is not probably going to light up the bars in 592 00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: Manhattan or in Los Angeles. But that's you know, what 593 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: can you do about it? There's only one way to 594 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: try to get around that this, and that's to expand 595 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 1: the playoff. It may not work, but you know, the 596 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: SEC seems to like for frankly, they like too right now. Yeah, 597 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: when people say, well, if you expand the playoffs, you're 598 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: still going to get George against Alabama, which could be true, 599 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: but you do get more fan bases involved in this, 600 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: and that you're playing meaningful games, meaningful bowl games where 601 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,240 Speaker 1: if you win that bowl game, you go to another 602 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: bowl game. There it's just a question of are we 603 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: still going to get back to Alabama and Georgia or 604 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, is it going to be one or two 605 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: SEC teams? No matter what, well, whether you get back 606 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: Alabama or Georgia, I don't think is the most important point. 607 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: The point is that you have a build up. I mean, 608 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 1: why are we watching football tonight or Saturday and Sunday 609 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: to see, you know, whether you get a buy, to 610 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: see whether you get a good seed. And to me, 611 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: that's where the NFL has it over college football. The 612 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: college football season. You have championship Saturday on December third, 613 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: and then it goes to sleep for four weeks and 614 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: we wake up on New Year's even then we're right 615 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: back asleep again because the playoff games have been a 616 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: total disaster. The stats proved that I won't waste your 617 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: time on it. And then and then so you you 618 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: go to bed knowing who's playing in the National Championship 619 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: game and you wake up and guess what you've got? 620 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: All day football of games that didn't matter in the margins. 621 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: And but before I before we move on, Dan, let 622 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: me remind you, I think it's Tuesday night this sleep 623 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 1: we have LSU and Kansas State and some bowl somewhere 624 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,879 Speaker 1: exclusively on ESPN. I'll watch it, but I didn't even 625 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: thank you for the heads up. What is Cincinnati's loss 626 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: going to mean for other non power of five the 627 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: next team? I think the fact that they played a 628 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 1: better game than Michigan Health. I mean, I mean, I 629 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: was I was there, and it was an interesting game 630 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: for a while. It was not a complete annihilation. I 631 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: don't think that committee next year, if they have a 632 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: similar situation, is going to say, you know what, Cincinnati 633 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: lost by three touchdowns, let's keep them out. I think 634 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: what it tells me, and unfortunately it's not telling the 635 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: people that matter, is that we really do need to 636 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: expand this. I felt like it was a great experience 637 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: for Cincinnati. I liked having somebody new in there, and 638 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: I think Luke Fickle is one of the premier coaches. 639 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: But you know the problem. The problem is in Cincinnati, 640 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: it's Alabama. Because Alabama does this to everyone. They'd beat 641 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: Notre Dame by my seventeen last year, even though it 642 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: was really a twenty four point game. They beat everyone 643 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: by three touchdowns. So I think we're obviously blaming the 644 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: wrong team. I think the thing to do is to 645 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: move Alabama maybe to the NFC South, and we'll have 646 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: a much better playoff every year. But I wondered I 647 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: had chuckled a little bit when I was reading some 648 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: articles that this is the best coaching job that Saban's 649 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: ever done. I mean, the last I looked, Alabama still 650 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,919 Speaker 1: has the Heisman Trophy winner. They've got two really good 651 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: wide receivers. They got a first round draft pick at lineback. 652 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not a bad team to have if 653 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: you're going to have one of your best coaches. It's 654 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: not like Belichick after Brady left. You know, this is 655 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: He's The cupboard wasn't bare there. So did Saban do 656 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: his best coaching job this year? Because maybe we're not 657 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: familiar with these players? I think I think I used 658 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,760 Speaker 1: to be a newspaper column miss dan as you remember, 659 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: and you're just trying to come up with something new 660 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: to say about Nick Saban. Uh, it was it was 661 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago today. I was doing local radio and 662 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: TV in Birmingham. He arrived from Miami and all the 663 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: pundon said he wouldn't last. So, I mean, we are 664 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: struggling to find new things to say and I mean 665 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: I came on right after the game on the Hour 666 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: network and it was rather boring. Okay, Nick Saban going 667 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: to another National haampionship. In case you've lost count, this 668 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: is his tense national championship game, whether it's BCS or 669 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: college football playoff, And I mean, you really I think, 670 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I missed something on Shashevsky, but but 671 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: John Wooden is the only guy that's come close to that, 672 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: I think, in the two major sports, and he did 673 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 1: a good job. But you know, it's three straight years 674 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,399 Speaker 1: with three different starting quarterbacks, and how two of those 675 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: guys are starting in the NFL right now and the 676 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,240 Speaker 1: one in the quarterback before that starting in the NFL. 677 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: And this year's quarterback is only the highs of the 678 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: trophy winner. So I think that's probably a you're overreaching, 679 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: the overshooting the runway to make that statement. I know 680 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: that you're on scholarship there with the mother ships, so 681 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: you might choose your words carefully. But I didn't agree 682 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: with kurkkurbs Street and Desmond Howard saying that the players 683 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 1: who opped out of the bull Games don't love football. 684 00:40:52,880 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: Your thoughts, M, I'm sorry, Dan In assurance, Yeah, I 685 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: think you said it best when when when you said that, 686 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,879 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the overnight flight from Miami to Pasadena, 687 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: uh clouded his judgment. Umm, I agree with you. I 688 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: think these players have the right and should do anything 689 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 1: they want. And your point was the best one. If 690 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: the coaches can bail, the players should be able to 691 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: do whatever they want. And I think trying to you know, 692 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: look at the way it used to be versus the 693 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: way it is now, is is wrong. I mean, we 694 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: have a playoff now. There wasn't a playoff when I 695 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: was in school, when you were in school, or when 696 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: when when Kirk was in school? And yeah, these guys 697 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 1: give everything. If they don't want to play in a 698 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: ball game, good for them. I mean, whole teams didn't 699 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: want to play in bowl games this year, forget players. 700 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: I thought it was ironic, Dan, And don't think I'm 701 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: trying to obfuscate here, even though I am that uh 702 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: that none of the major bowl games got canceled, just 703 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: the ones prior to New Year's Eve. Now, I know 704 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: the Gator Bullet had had a change of team because 705 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: Texas A and M couldn't make it, but at least 706 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: they were nice about it. They gave. They gave the 707 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: host committee a week and a half to find a 708 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: team with a what they have A five and seven records, 709 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: So that was really benevolent of them. It's great to 710 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,399 Speaker 1: talk to you as always, and I hope I didn't 711 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: get you in trouble here. Um. I don't know why 712 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm getting calmly sitting right now, but damn it's always 713 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: a pleasure. Happy, Happy New Year. I'll leave you with this. 714 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: Who wins the National title game? I am leaning toward 715 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: the man of the moment. That's Nick Saban, the greatest 716 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: coach in history of the guy who I read this 717 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: morning and yesterday USA Today did his best coaching Go. 718 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy. That's very much. Fine Bomb, host of 719 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: the Paul Fine Bomb Show in the ESPN Radio the 720 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: voice of the SEC. And look, I'm not saying something 721 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: and then not inviting somebody on. I did to Herbie 722 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: on and I'd love to discuss that with him. And 723 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: we always invite you know, if we can have a 724 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: newsmaker on, then we invite him on. It's not like, 725 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying this, and I'm worried that Herbie's 726 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: going to come on and say something to the contrary. 727 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: It's inn't personal, it's just I look at this in 728 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: what is today's sports world, the landscape here. Would I 729 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: love to see these players play? Absolutely. Matt Corrall is 730 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: a dynamic player and he did play, and he got 731 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: injured in the first quarter. Kenny Pickett was wonderful. This year. 732 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,879 Speaker 1: We tend to focus on quarterbacks, not playing running backs. 733 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 1: I certainly understand with you know, the abuse that they 734 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,919 Speaker 1: take and you think you're going to be a top pick. 735 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: I certainly understand that. But if it's a defensive player. 736 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: You know, wide receivers at Ohio State and anybody have 737 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: a problem with them, No, because the wide receivers who 738 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: played were probably as good as those wide receivers were 739 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: that that Rose Bowl was so much fun. That was 740 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:07,839 Speaker 1: so much fun, wild, entertaining, crazy. All Right, more phone 741 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 1: calls coming up. We'll get Carson Palmer's take on what 742 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: happened with Antonio Brown. Cooper Cup some impressive numbers. Nobody's 743 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: talking about Cooper Cup today. Why because Odell Beckham Junior, 744 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 1: the third had a touchdown reception. That's why Cooper Cup 745 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: should be in the top five for MVP this year. 746 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: One more items we close that hour two.
