WEBVTT - HOUR 3- Rob Manfred Oct 23, 2020 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.640 Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Friday, Dan and the 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:10.400 Danas Dan Patrick Show, morale is high. I let the 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.680 Dane's have a dish off the trigger grill. The buffalo 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:17.000 chicken sliders that Alan are a great it guy slash 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:22.120 chef cook was he was drawing up for us here 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:26.079 on this Meat Friday. Cajun shrimp, the green chili mac 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.880 and cheese will have to wait. The baked taco skillet dip, 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.839 and the rots that has to wait for about an 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:37.519 hour here, all right, guys, Todd, I'm talking to you, yeah, 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.600 because I said you could have one slider, and I 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.320 took two sliders and some chick and and you almost 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.080 went into the mac and chefe. I came very close. 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:45.960 The only reason I didn't I didn't see any utensils 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.520 inside something. Why is it? Why do I have rules here? Tom? 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.239 You have rules to be followed. And I should have 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.519 just had one slider. And then I didn't even get 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.480 the bread on the bottom of the slider right scooped 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.280 it poorly and I missed the bottom bun of the 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.440 slider that there was the latest thing to be making fun. 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.600 I took the tops of the sandwiches and left the 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:10.280 bottoms for others. Yeah, carbs, yea, though not the pile on, 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.440 but that is kind of a I thought when I 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.280 was scooping it that there was a role on the bottom. 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.560 But he doesn't know how to scoop. That's why I 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.440 don't think he. I don't think he. Ever, you've never 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.560 served yourself. But I thought each one was intact. Just 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.679 from the top, it looked like each one was an individual, 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.880 full thing. But there was no button on the bottom, 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.160 all right, So no other food until the end of 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.720 the show. Can you guys do that? Can you? Can 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:38.800 you somehow hold out for fifty eight minutes? Well, eleven 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:45.360 forty five we could Eagles over the Giants. Epic battle 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.920 last night. I actually was entertained by because there were 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.680 some storylines here. I was curious about Daniel Jones and 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.440 you know, trying to hold onto the football, and then 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.559 we had the Daniel Jones gift where he fell down. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.600 Even though he fell down, they did score on that drive. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.480 Imagine if they only kicked a field goal there and 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.280 they lost because he missed out on a sure touchdown there. Now, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.079 to me, the bigger mistake, but it's not going to 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.800 be as amplified because it's not embarrassing Evan Ingram dropping 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.920 that football in the third down that wins the game 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.840 for the Giants. If Carson Wentz doesn't win that game, 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.720 then they're calling for Jalen Hurts, or at least the 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.200 call is even louder for Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts is 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.480 not the answer. I just want to let people know 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.760 he might be. Why would I put a rookie in 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.280 who's had no training camp and I'm going to have 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.840 him behind that bad offensive line unless you're saying to him, hey, 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.960 you got to basically do this with your arm, don't 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.400 throw the football. Carson Wentz used to be and it 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.760 wasn't that long ago. He was a high end quarterback. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.840 I think he can still be a high end quarterback, 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.520 but we may not know that this year. The injuries, 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.040 that offensive line. He does hold under the ball too long. 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.040 But we love the backup quarterback, and certainly in Philadelphia 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.959 they love the backup quarterback. You got a guy who 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.000 can still play at an elite level in Carson Wentz. 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.919 You may not lie how it looks and how inconsistent 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.920 he is, but there's a lot of teams that would 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.079 love to have Carson Wentz on there too. Yeah, Carson 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.440 Wentz His career reminds me a little bit. Stay with 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.800 me of remember Tim Couch out of Kentucky. He went 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.800 to the Browns and he had a lot of promise. 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.200 I don't know if he was ever as good as 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.639 Carson Wentz's first two years, but and then it just 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:38.000 kind of faded away with injuries and regression. He played 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.520 on a bad team. I don't think I think Tim 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:45.280 was a good pocket passer, but quarterbacks out of Kentucky 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.840 not exactly a football factory for quarterbacks, and the Browns 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.360 took him number one overall. You know, Carson went to 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.680 a good team, or at least a team that had 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.120 some talent. They had offensive and defensive line talent, but 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.840 they had the talent because they don't now. Yeah, McLevin, 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.960 I feel like that analogy is a stretch because Carson 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.080 would have been MVP that year he got hurt. I mean, 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.600 he was high, high, high level. Yeah, it's not it's 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.840 not apples. It's definitely apples in origins, but it just 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.440 feels like it's he's healthy, he's playing he's just When 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.320 was the last time you saw him play really really well? 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.480 I can't remember it well. I don't know. Last year. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.160 At the end of last year he was on fire 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.760 for four games Jim Couch if you look at his numbers. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.480 But but I think he was sacked probably fifteen times 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.440 that you know, each of the first two seasons there 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.839 in Cleveland. It was a bad team there. Carson Wentz 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.360 went to a better team. They traded up to get him. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.240 They were a better team than Tim Couch went to Cleveland. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.760 Carson Wentz can be a great quarterback. I think we 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:48.040 forget that. And you know, sometimes it takes that moment 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.120 where unfortunately you have to go, oh my gosh, that's right. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.080 I shouldn't try to run and take on defensive players 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.960 like he did against the Rams. But he would have 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:01.039 been the MVP that season. Yeah, mcleven. But bottom line, 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.240 and I'm putting on my Eagles. Okay, for the Eagles 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.200 to win, Carson has to run around and make plays 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.800 and he's gonna get hurt if he does. He will 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.040 it's a catch twenty two. If he stays in the pocket, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.320 they're not gonna win because the lion stinks, right, now, yes, 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.560 he's gonna This is gonna be the rest of the season. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.840 Because Lane Johnson goes out for two plays and then 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:23.080 comes out. You know, they're decimated by injuries, and you know, 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.960 you look at some of their skill position players, we say, wow, 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.600 they look pretty good. If I said those are the 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.960 skill position players to start the season, you would have went, 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.200 oh my god, who are these guys? But they did perform. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.599 They have performed. They lose to Sean Jackson, which is 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.320 a big injury. He looked great too. Yeah, yeah, but 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.799 it looks like he's gonna miss quite a bit of time. Yeah, mclo. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.600 If they had lost last night, they would have gone 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.599 to one, five and one. Would it be full cell 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.040 at the trade deadline the November third trade laser, Well, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.640 who are your selling? Well, Ashon Jeffreys on the block 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.920 they tried to trade zach Ertz already reportedly, No, they're 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.640 already in a Cell mode. Yeah, it would you still 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.760 sell some of those guys. Sure, but you can win 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.320 the division, I know, but that doesn't mean it's like 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.320 the Cowboys. Cowboys could win the division. The Cowboys got problems. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.920 Even if you win the division, you still have some issues. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.800 There and if the Eagles win, it kind of covers 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.480 up what your problems are. And some of these teams 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.159 don't know that they're in a rebuild, like we try 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:29.159 to reload. Minnesota tried to reload, but they might be 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.320 in a rebuild now, believe it or not. Even though 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.520 you have a really good wide receiver in Jefferson Young 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.120 feeling it can still be elite. Do you get rid 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.880 of Kyle Rudolph here? Do you ship him someplace? You 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.440 got Kirk d Cousins as your quarterback at least for 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.360 this year and probably next year. Dalvin Cook, you got 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.279 him under contract. They have a young nucleus here, you 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.719 would think, and it feels like they're in a rebuild, 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.480 not reload mode, and it doesn't take long before these 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.200 teams decide to do so. Here we are, what's seven 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.880 weeks in trade deadline is going to be coming up, 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.360 and I don't know if anybody gets shipped here. I don't. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.440 Usually we get to the trade deadline and we go, oh, 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.559 this guy might get traded or this team could trade 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.480 for that guy, and it usually doesn't happen. I thought 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.000 it was extremely sneaky and well done that Baltimore swoops 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.880 in and takes Yannick and Goquay, who's already under contract. 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:27.160 He's twenty five. How is Seattle not in the market 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.840 for Yannick and Goquay. Seattle's defense is one of the 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:37.800 worst defenses in the last fifty years. Yannick and Goatway 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:43.560 comes in and he's their best defender along with Bobby Wagner. Instead, 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.440 Seattle wants to bring in Antonio Brown. I guess the 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.000 logic is, we're just going to try to be like 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.920 the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFC. We're just going 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.520 to score as much as we can. But keep in 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.920 mind with the Chiefs, their defense won them a Super Bowl, 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.520 and that's really the key to always remember it. You 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.680 can score, eventually, you're gonna stop somebody, and that may 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.720 come back and haunt Seattle. You brought in Jomal Adams 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.120 and that was a good pick up here, but Yannick 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.840 and Goquay was out there for what a third round 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.960 pick and a conditional fifth round pick. Yeah, mclu And 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:24.880 by the way, if he leaves a free agency, the 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.600 Ravens get a third round pick, or if Judon leaves, 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.360 so they don't cost anything. Do you have a game 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.920 for me, McLevin. Okay, yes, it's been in the news 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.959 a lot o Clyde, Edwards, Hilaire and Travis etn. How 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.080 do you pronounce his name? There was a shocking news 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.000 flash yesterday there's a player in the NFL who told 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.400 the media he's they've been doing his name wrong. He 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:54.160 is a I'll give you a hint, tight end David 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.720 and Joeku ooh. I don't think anyone thought they had 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.599 his name right. No, that's not him, okay, and I 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.440 don't know if anyone even knows this player, by the way, 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.840 but he had a huge game a few weeks ago, right, 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:13.320 you can tell me. Packers tight end Robert Tonyan Yeah okay, 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.080 came out and said that his name ryans with Funyan 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.120 and that the Green Bay media has been doing it 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:28.600 wrong all along. So it's Tunyan, Robert Tunyan the Packers. Yes, okay, Wow, 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.880 now you know it's Tanyan, right, I mean it's spelled 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.960 t O n y A n. This is this is 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:38.000 breaking news. Yeah. Does Adam Schefter know this? Uh? Jay 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:42.000 Glazer Packers pr issued a release just with this back. 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.640 That was the whole release. Now was it out there 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.200 before or that it wasn't out there before and the 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.040 Packers PR department didn't put it out there to let 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.040 people know how to pronounce his name. No, Robert Tonyan 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.319 said that he did not want to correct anybody over 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.079 the last two years because he thought it impolite. So 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.880 he told the PR, I think it's time to go 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:07.680 with my right name. So so now he thinks it's impolite, 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.800 I guess, so, I guess. So can you see a 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.000 young player doing that where everyone says your name wrong 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:18.760 and just like, yeah, I think Clyde Edwards, Hilaire, you know, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:23.599 we're Travis et t n. Yeah, but you have to 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:28.360 wait till you have a big game, like it's Tannin. Yeah, 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.080 he had a three touchdown game the other day. So 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.920 now he's that's exactly right. He's established. Now he can 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.800 he can wag the dog a little bit. He's Tonyan 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:43.800 Tonyan Tonyan rhymes with Funyan. Thank you, Paul Bunyan. Yeah, 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.760 I kind of oversaw that, Yeah you did. I thought 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.040 it was Yannick and goquay. Well, I don't even know 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.200 how to do that is a ya Yannick, But I 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.160 will say you were out in front of this story nationally. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.880 You were out in front of this story and thank you. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.000 Thank you.

Yeah, 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.320 I'm glove the NFL South is some tech company for 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.880 like a billion dollars to where Wednesday morning on your app? 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:41.160 Steelers Titans to me is that's got some sauce to it. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.680 And here's another thing not to pile on. Well, no, 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.880 I am piling on Adam Gays. When he was in 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:54.320 Miami with Ryan Tannehill. We looked at Tannehill as the problem, 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.720 not Ryan Gays. Now, all of a sudden, Ryan Tannehill 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.640 has a full season as a starter with the Titans 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:06.720 and these are all quality numbers that he's putting up. Now, 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.400 does he have a good formula there where you have 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:15.000 Derrick Henry. Yes, but Ryan Tannehill has put up some 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.600 quality numbers and has played the position very well. I 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.280 know that we don't lump him in as you know, 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.760 a top ten quarterback, top fifteen quarterback, but we should 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.880 probably reassess that with what his abilities are in what 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.960 he does for that Titans team. Now, let's see what 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.840 he does against that Steelers defense coming up this weekend, 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.679 because they'll be they'll be coming his way. Now, the 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.640 NBA Draft is going to be November eighteenth, so we're 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.280 gonna have the draft and the Masters within a week's time. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.240 How about that Dodgers Rays coming up tonight. Charlie Morton 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:55.760 for the raise against Walker Bueller Junior the third. There 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.040 was a piece of an interview that mclovin found Eric 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.840 b Enemy's the offense coordinated with the Kansas City Chiefs, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.240 and I thought it was really insightful what he was 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:10.040 saying about all of those stars on Kansas City and 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.280 how do you get your players to not worry about 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.120 how many touches do I get, how many opportunities do 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.800 I get? It's about me? And here is Eric b Enemy, 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:25.400 the offensive coordinator the Kansas City Chiefs. Sometimes professional sports 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.560 have a tendency to think that it's all about the 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:33.800 numbers and the egos, and sometimes I think people forget 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.120 that we play a team game. This is what has 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.240 made us special. Our guys are going to do whatever 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.040 is needed to go out and win because when it's 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.160 all saying done, what we talk about this each and 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.000 every week, it's not about the numbers. Okay, it's about 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.679 the alphabets, and the only two alphabets that matter in 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.839 this industry is a W and the L. Whatever we 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:57.680 have to do to get that W, that's all what matters. Yes, 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.800 ideally we want all of our players to have all 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.199 the success that they can, but we do know this, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.960 if we can do this together and do it for 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.360 one another and do it the right way, it to 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.200 give us a chance to have a chance to go 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.040 out and pursue the goals that we want to pursue. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.760 I'm gonna guess he's going to use that speech his 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.760 next coaching stop when he becomes a head coach here 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:23.120 in January or probably February after the playoffs. Feels like 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.120 whatever team he's going to, they're going to hear that speech. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.320 And that's a great speech. If everybody buys him. Yummick clemon, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.520 it is going to be a bidding war for that, dude. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.760 It seems like the Jets and the Texans are making waves. 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.880 But do you want, like you want to go where 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.880 you can succeed now you normally don't have an opening 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.680 where the team is decent. Yeah, I don't like the 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:50.240 Texans future. No draft picks and salary cap issues, and 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.160 they got some players that I don't want to build around. 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.960 I like to Shaun Watson the Jets, it's still the 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:05.200 Jets organization. The Falcons might be this situation depending on 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.120 what they do. If they go into a rebuild, if 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.880 they start to trade players or certain players aren't coming back, 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.640 then that might be a place to go. Yeah, I'm 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.800 a club. I like that. I'm surprised that the Sean 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.080 Watson factor. Like a lot of people say, oh, well, 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.120 you know, at least you have that quarterback to work with, 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.760 and he's like an offensive guy. You're you're paying him 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.400 a lot of money. If I'm a coach, a rookie coach, 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.680 or I'm starting my first year, I want to go 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:35.800 into a situation where my quarterback is on a rookie contract. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.360 And because now I know that I have some time 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.480 to build this. We're going to build it together. But 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.480 you got to know that you got your quarterback there. 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.320 And I don't know if Eric Bienemy, if he goes, 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.160 I don't know who the Jets are. You know who 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.880 their Quarterback's going to be. Deshaun Watson's going to be 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.680 my quarterback. Do I have enough around him where I 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.920 can be successful? How are we with the salary cap? 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.120 How are we with draft picks? Like there's a lot 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.800 that goes into this. Instead of him just having to 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.880 take a job because he's going to get an offer, 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.320 now he has the opportunity to kind of survey the 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.640 situation and say this one is a place where I 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.080 am going to be successful because I have trust in 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.360 the front office. And that's really the key. All Right, 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:20.840 we'll take a break. I got a lot of phone 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.920 calls to get. I want to get to the Commissioner 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.880 Major League Baseball, Rob Manfred. It can take a victory 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:30.640 lap because you had some notable pundits who thought the 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:35.320 percent percentages of Baseball getting all the weight of the 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:40.400 World Series where five percent, zero point zero percent that 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.880 they would have a World Series, And here we are 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.960 with maybe five more games in baseball's postseason, So we'll 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.480 talk to the commissioner. Coming up Dodgers raised tonight. Pauli's 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:56.640 at eight eight eight O nine ten. Checking with my people. Yeah, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.600 because Pauli always tells me exactly when it's going to 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.160 start for pitch. It helps you if you have something 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:03.440 to do. You know, you don't have to be in 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.159 front of your TV right on the screws, you know. 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:06.760 And I like to wait right till run eight O 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.760 seven thirty and then I go to the TV. I 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.840 have eight o eight pm Eastern as the first pitch. Okay, 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.080 who decides on eight O eight as opposed to eight 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.199 O seven or eight oh nine, which I think have 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.440 been the other two started time. Well, Pauli gave me 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.880 an eight eleven I think it was. There wasn't eight 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:28.360 eleven now and it totally screwed me up. Yeah, it's 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.000 usually about the commune. I mean, you know this commercial inventory. 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.240 They try to have a setup commercial and then they 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.160 start the game, so they want to they can't start 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.400 a day. Maybe I can ask the commissioner about this. Yes, 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.399 I think there's a thirty out of sixty second to 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.359 Ritos Locos tacos commercial. That's what throws it off. Between 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:44.959 eight I went to the well too much. We here, 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.560 we are back on that. Here's John small time, Joe Buck, 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:53.359 Someone's getting tacos tonight. I got forty more minutes with you, 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.960 and that is it. Yeah, see forever, No, no, no, no, 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.080 just for a couple of minutes. I don't know if 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.960 if I come back Monday, but there's a chance I 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.760 don't thank you too well. I would you just say 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.040 something like that and just I'd like to leave you 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:11.760 with a parting gift on a Friday so you can 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.040 take it into the weekend.

If this commissioner at this time could give 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.359 advice to the commissioner back in March, what would you 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:27.840 have said to that commissioner yourself back in March. Well, 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:33.520 you know, look, hindsight is twenty twenty. Dan, there were 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.000 parts of what we went through in March that I 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:41.800 would like to replay. Obviously, I hate any situation where 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:46.640 we have a disagreement with the players Association that gets public, 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.439 so you know, I would like that one over. On 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.080 the other hand, we stuck to our guns on a 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.920 couple of issues that were really really important. A lot 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:00.359 of people wanted us to lengthen the season. You knows 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:05.280 about playing large numbers of games and pushing out into November. 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:07.199 I think if you look at what's going on with 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:12.200 respect of the virus right now, it was really a 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.600 good decision to finish the season on time and maintain 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.560 that that was important. I think. Secondly, you know, there 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.400 was also a push to schedule a lot of doubleheaders 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.040 and we can play more games. I mean, the fact 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.640 of the matter is we wouldn't have finished the sixty 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:31.520 had we had not had the scheduling flexibility to add 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:36.280 doubleheaders to reschedule for games that we lost. So look, 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.639 it wasn't perfect, and you know, I do regret the 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:43.919 publicity part of it, but we got to sixty games 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.680 and that's a good outcome for us. How close were 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:51.880 you too not playing or shutting down this season? We 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:54.960 had a serious problem. I mean I've said it publicly, 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:59.720 you know, after the Saint Louis situation or during the 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:04.320 same Lewis situations, our second outbreak, I was really nervous 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:09.520 about our ability to continue to go forward. You know, 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:13.440 we had really good conversations with Tony Clark and the MLBPA. 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.240 We strengthened the protocols. He helped us educate the players 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:20.960 on the importance of certain aspects of those protocols and 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.000
