Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Tuesday, Dan and The
Speaker 1: Dans Dan Patrick Show. Fritzie has rebounded from a horrible start. Yeah,
Speaker 1: enough enough of a rebound. Well, you didn't do anything
Speaker 1: in last hour, but you did nothing, absolutely nothing in
Speaker 1: the first hourn. Like you didn't do anything negative last hour.
Speaker 1: First hour. You did just enough to keep the job. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you got Brent Musburger booked coming up here in
Speaker 1: a little bit, so you don't put your rally cap
Speaker 1: almost a push, yeah, but you put your rally cap.
Speaker 1: Reggie and Mississippi joining us on the program. Reggie, good morning,
Speaker 1: How are you today? Morning? DP? How are you? Man right?
Speaker 1: What's up? Listen that first couple of hours. I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't. I thought Todd got the Toby Flinderson from
Speaker 1: the Office treatment there. So I'm glad he's rebounding and everything.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for um. Real quick, I'm just talking about
Speaker 1: I'm an HBCU Grant All Coward State here in Grenada.
Speaker 1: Fred McNair, He's brother Steve McNair. He coaches there. But
Speaker 1: what Dean Sanders is doing, man, teaching those life lessons
Speaker 1: and getting those top recruits. Man, I can be more
Speaker 1: happy for HBCU football many. I can only wish to
Speaker 1: see us getting some of those NFL draft picks like
Speaker 1: we did in the seventies and eighties. I love to
Speaker 1: see those days back. So thanks for taking a call, man,
Speaker 1: All right, reg thank you. Reggie is a little concerned
Speaker 1: for you, Tom. That was very thoughtful though. It was
Speaker 1: very nice. Yeah. I mean I hope Deon's if he
Speaker 1: wants to stay at Jackson State and he can continue
Speaker 1: to get these recruits, great. I just get the feeling
Speaker 1: that he's gonna now be offered a job, a big job,
Speaker 1: and it makes sense because now it's like, well, we
Speaker 1: don't know if Deon can be a head coach in
Speaker 1: college football. And then you start to see him get
Speaker 1: a couple of these recruits, they win eleven games this year,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it's like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: mean you do a lot of retreads with college coaches.
Speaker 1: You go from one job to another. If I'm got it,
Speaker 1: if I'm Florida State, you know that's where you go.
Speaker 1: Don come on back. Sorry, we we messed up. And
Speaker 1: part of that feels like, you know, Dion wanted to
Speaker 1: say to Florida State, Oh, you think this recruit's going there, not,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shock the world. And he did, and then
Speaker 1: he got another recruit. But I do think that they're
Speaker 1: following Don wherever Don is, not necessarily because it's Jackson State. Yeah. See.
Speaker 1: It does kind of feel like though, that the combination
Speaker 1: of Dion and Nil maybe has opened up a door for,
Speaker 1: you know, historically black colleges and universities to retain that
Speaker 1: talent that normally would be going to other places. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much money is involved in this. I've
Speaker 1: yet to hear something that is what I feel like
Speaker 1: accurate instead of just rumors. You know, did bar Stool
Speaker 1: help you know that that was a rumor because Dion,
Speaker 1: you know, has a show on bar Stool or relationship
Speaker 1: with him, and are they funding this? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it feels like it's more about just Dion Sanders
Speaker 1: and that magnetism that he has. And you have these
Speaker 1: two players we're probably going to play in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and what better way to learn than from Dion Sanders.
Speaker 1: And he's proven that he can coach, He's certainly proven
Speaker 1: he can recruit. I just don't know how long he's
Speaker 1: going to stay. By the way, the quarterback for each
Speaker 1: of the last four national title winners has played two
Speaker 1: interception free games while posting at least five hundred passing
Speaker 1: yards and five or more touchdowns in the playoffs. Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence did it in twenty eighteen, Joe Burrow in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: Mac Jones twenty twenty. Stetson Bennett this year. Stud of
Speaker 1: the day? Yes, out of the day, I'm that bas
Speaker 1: stat of the day? Stat of the day? Here comes that?
Speaker 1: What stat of the day. So we'll talk to Brent Musburger.
Speaker 1: He'll join us, coming up here in about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: We do have some merchandise. We have a great new
Speaker 1: T shirt, the Aaron Shrugs t shirt. Go to dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com to see that. Also a few calendars.
Speaker 1: I asked them to print up a few more calendars.
Speaker 1: Had people reaching out saying that they didn't get one,
Speaker 1: not able to order one over the holidays. We have
Speaker 1: a few of them that are signed as well. Go
Speaker 1: to dan patrick dot com. Check out all the gift
Speaker 1: giving that we have post holidays. Poll question Final Hour
Speaker 1: Todd what are we gonna do we're gonna go with this.
Speaker 1: Weill NFL MVP voters not give Tom Brady MVP vote
Speaker 1: because he has too much already. Fifty one percent say no,
Speaker 1: forty eight percent say yes, Yeah, all right, get down
Speaker 1: the middle. I don't know if the vote who knows.
Speaker 1: You know, We've already heard from one voter who said
Speaker 1: he want to go to vote for Aaron Rodgers because
Speaker 1: he's the biggest jerk in the league. I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're going to factor in and not factor in,
Speaker 1: because it's open to interpretation. What is value? Is Tom
Speaker 1: Brady more valuable because he's older, He's doing it at
Speaker 1: forty four. Aaron Rodgers with what he's done so far
Speaker 1: for his team, the number one seed, Joe Burrow in
Speaker 1: an unbelievable story with Cincinnati, Jonathan Taylor with what he
Speaker 1: did with the Colts, t J Watt what he did
Speaker 1: with the Steelers. Like you, there's viable candidates here, but
Speaker 1: it just feels like it's Aaron Rodgers. And I go
Speaker 1: back to that game where the Saints shut out the Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: and it felt like that was enough for voters to say,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give it to Tom And if
Speaker 1: I'm Tom. I would use this the way Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: did when Carl Malone won the MVP and when Charles
Speaker 1: Barkley won the MVP, because guess who won the title
Speaker 1: both of those years, Michael Jordan did. Maybe now it's
Speaker 1: different because Brady can't take over a game like Jordan. Could.
Speaker 1: You know there's only five guys on each team out there.
Speaker 1: Brady's not playing defense. Mike got a chance to. You know,
Speaker 1: people forget Michael had the strip of Carl Malone that
Speaker 1: led to the jumper that beat the Utah Jazz. Mike
Speaker 1: had an unbelievable defensive play, but that's not mentioned. It's
Speaker 1: the jumper, well, the push off and then the jumper. Yes, Tom,
Speaker 1: Now Tom Brady was upset about not being Player of
Speaker 1: the Week or Player of the month. Imagine how much
Speaker 1: that would be magnified. I know you could use it
Speaker 1: as a momentum and motivation. But did not get the MVP.
Speaker 1: Someone that was upset that the Belichick didn't Ottom's Player
Speaker 1: of the Week. Thank you welcome. I was watching some
Speaker 1: NBA last night. I was flipping back and forth because
Speaker 1: I wanted to see my guy, LaMelo Ball. He had
Speaker 1: a jumper a floater with fifteen seconds to go, Hornets
Speaker 1: beat the Bucks. He had twenty three points. I also,
Speaker 1: I didn't see the game, but Demontis Sabonis had twenty
Speaker 1: three rebounds last night, eleven points and ten assists. So
Speaker 1: he's that's his third triple double. He has sixteen career
Speaker 1: triple doubles. You normally don't think of sabonus as somebody
Speaker 1: who's gonna get and I keep thinking he's gonna end
Speaker 1: up with another team. Feels like he's one of those
Speaker 1: guys that is going to get traded by the Pacers. Yampoint,
Speaker 1: what's it? Chime Eli Juan had a couple quadruple doubles,
Speaker 1: maybe David Robinson where it's like the assists in blocks
Speaker 1: and points and rebounds. Yeah, for some reason, I remember
Speaker 1: Hakim getting maybe one or two of those. That's gotta
Speaker 1: be as rare as it gets, right. Yes, I don't
Speaker 1: know if Matumbo might have done that, but it feels
Speaker 1: like a Kim. I love to Kim Elijah one underrated,
Speaker 1: great footwork, unbelievable defensive player. You can make a case now,
Speaker 1: I know, Bill Russell, that's a different era that a
Speaker 1: chem Elige you on is the best defensive player in
Speaker 1: NBA history, because I think he's the old time leader
Speaker 1: in blockshots and he might be up there pretty high
Speaker 1: in steals if if you like, you don't think of
Speaker 1: a center. But you know, I never looked at a
Speaker 1: Chema as a center. He was just a player. Heah,
Speaker 1: Polly h. Four players have had a quadruple double. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Davis did get one. I've gotta check out. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: one person had it twice, and then there's three other dudes.
Speaker 1: Did we mention any of the dudes? We mentioned one
Speaker 1: already moments ago a chemie. Okay, I mentioned one of
Speaker 1: them about forty five seconds ago. What do you find seconds? Uh?
Speaker 1: The Admiral Okay, David Robinson had thirty four, ten, ten,
Speaker 1: and ten right on the screws. Okay, if you get
Speaker 1: the other two, I will buy your lunch. Either of
Speaker 1: the other two more old school. One's an eighties guy.
Speaker 1: He's been referenced on this show before, but it's not
Speaker 1: a household name. The other's a seventies guy who wore
Speaker 1: your era and you know Kareem Noy the eighties guy
Speaker 1: was he won defensive player of the year. A couple
Speaker 1: of times. He was known for being a little crazy
Speaker 1: from a few guests told us Alvin Robertson. Alvin Robertson
Speaker 1: had a quadruple double. Is Nate Thurman at a boy,
Speaker 1: you get lunched, Nate Thurman October eighth, nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 1: to go lunch because I don't want you if it's
Speaker 1: at the place you'll drink me dry. Yeah, you didn't
Speaker 1: say drinks, you said lunch. Hall of Famer Nate Thurmond
Speaker 1: had twenty two points, fourteen rebounds, thirteen assists in twelve
Speaker 1: blocks against Atlanta Hawks. Shockingly good. I still got it.
Speaker 1: That's your era, though, if you for sports, isn't it
Speaker 1: like um, late sixties to early eighties for your knowledge
Speaker 1: probably like that window where you're like, well, but you
Speaker 1: know when I did Sports Center, I had to know
Speaker 1: about everything more so then it's you don't the stuff
Speaker 1: that you remember when you're a child, you never forget,
Speaker 1: you know, before girls, beer, mortgages, jobs like that. You
Speaker 1: just I just soaked it all in stupid trivia because
Speaker 1: I knew one day it was going to come in handy. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: is that why we remember phone numbers because back then,
Speaker 1: like you, just like I still remember a bunch of
Speaker 1: my old home phone numbers or maybe some friends phone numbers.
Speaker 1: Is that because you're just always plugging them into your phone.
Speaker 1: You always had to actually dial them, and now you'll
Speaker 1: never get rid of them, whereas now you just hit
Speaker 1: somebody's name. Yeah, there's you know, if you lose your phone,
Speaker 1: you're like, uh, I gotta call somebody. I don't know
Speaker 1: their number, no idea. I still know my bookie's number
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. And I ran into his son at the
Speaker 1: Radio Hall of Fame, and as soon as I saw him,
Speaker 1: I said, Dave, and I spit his phone number. He goes,
Speaker 1: oh my god, And it's been a long long time
Speaker 1: since I used to call Tony in Pittsburgh. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: do you have a home phone number now or do
Speaker 1: you just have a cell phone. I have a home
Speaker 1: home number. Yeah, yeah, I got the you know the
Speaker 1: hangs on the wall. Oh you have like one of
Speaker 1: those like old school, yeah, old timey comphones? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah it works. Yeah. People are amazed. They're like, what's that.
Speaker 1: I go, that's that's a phone. Does it work? I go, yes, see,
Speaker 1: you tell them. It's original. Yeah, it's original with the house.
Speaker 1: It came with the house. Yeah. Yeah. A bunch of
Speaker 1: my dopey grade school friends, like eighth grade friends, they
Speaker 1: did this thing the other day, like a bottom of
Speaker 1: a year ago. Can you name everyone else's phone number
Speaker 1: in the group? And we all crushed it, you know,
Speaker 1: because you you have five or six friends growing up eighth, ninth,
Speaker 1: tenth grade, and there's no You didn't have a notepad,
Speaker 1: you didn't keep anything. You had him in your head.
Speaker 1: Do you know Seaton's phone number? No? I know yours
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. I think I can
Speaker 1: get yours. Yeah, I know my wife's. I know yours.
Speaker 1: That's it, Seaton. Do you know Pauli's No, No, I
Speaker 1: have no idea. Fritzie's not even close. I kind of
Speaker 1: I have an idea of yours. I think that if
Speaker 1: I had to, I could get yours first out of anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Fritzie and I have had the same
Speaker 1: number since we met. I've had the same number since
Speaker 1: two thousand. Fritzie's I think had the same number since
Speaker 1: I met him at O two Dan your phone, I
Speaker 1: think maybe oh four oh fives when you got your
Speaker 1: phone and I remember your number. Yes, your number is
Speaker 1: two h three right, No, that's something Todd would do.
Speaker 1: I totally try to make sure. Yeah, showing you that
Speaker 1: I know numbers. You're really good with numbers. Do you
Speaker 1: know Pauli and Seaton's phone number? Two? You do. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say it out loud. You have to trust
Speaker 1: me that I just get out one and people can
Speaker 1: try to guess you if it's Paula's received. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: definitely know all three of your guys numbers. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know your number, Todd. When you call us
Speaker 1: or text us, do you input the number or do
Speaker 1: you hit the name? I hit the name? Yeah. Everything
Speaker 1: else I do the long way. But for that, you know,
Speaker 1: I will you know if I start typing the first
Speaker 1: couple letter of your guys names, the number comes up,
Speaker 1: and that's certainly quicker. I know you guys love my
Speaker 1: long text all hours in a night. Yes, Well, you've
Speaker 1: sent out a stets In Bennett text last night early,
Speaker 1: very early. Yeah, and I'm thinking I don't know. I
Speaker 1: shut the door on. That's it in the dogs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Five minutes into the first freezing cold takes there by Fritzie.
Speaker 1: Really yes, Well, last night we got the first picture
Speaker 1: of Andrew Luck from Paul, and then about an hour
Speaker 1: later we got another picture from Andrew Luck of Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck from Paul, and I was very confused. I wasn't
Speaker 1: sure what to do, so I just sent a picture
Speaker 1: of French onion soup and that was great. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to do. I feel like I need
Speaker 1: to participate somehow. What would Paul like? Here is? I
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with the Andrew Luck pictures,
Speaker 1: but here here's French onion soup. Paul was in heaven
Speaker 1: when he saw Andrew Luck on sports and oh him
Speaker 1: getting all these different looks, like he's here, he's smiling, here,
Speaker 1: he is serious. Here is It's like seeing a ghost.
Speaker 1: I know Jimmy in Indianapolis. Hey, Jimmy six foot soft
Speaker 1: two thirty five. Uh yeah, it's really rough, like one
Speaker 1: at Blueman here. Um, last night sucks. As soon as
Speaker 1: that popped up on ESPN and about ten ten cents
Speaker 1: to us from friends talking about how good this team
Speaker 1: would be if we still had him. So he's still around.
Speaker 1: You'll see him like on the public transportation with his
Speaker 1: kid and stuff like that. So it makes it really
Speaker 1: hard to approach him because you know, you don't approach
Speaker 1: people with him now with their families. But he's real private.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff with some of the nonprivate here,
Speaker 1: and he's still right. It's very rare that we see
Speaker 1: him out all right, Well, thank you, Jimmy. Yeah, PAULI
Speaker 1: was all geeked out man doing his impersonation. I could
Speaker 1: hear your text. Oh yeah, you know, wait when you
Speaker 1: send it, I could just imagine that you're typing it in.
Speaker 1: You're going, oh, doing your Andrew luck. I'll text it's
Speaker 1: a flip phone and I call people like a job.
Speaker 1: Aren't you fascinated though by this guy? Yes? And that
Speaker 1: retirements the fact that he's gone two and a half
Speaker 1: years without an interview of any type. I know, I know.

Speaker 1: Information Network, Raiders, play by play Boys and one of
Speaker 1: the great broadcasters in History's Mister Vegas. He's Brott Musburger
Speaker 1: joined us on the program. Good morning, Brent, How are you?
Speaker 1: Good morning Dan? I'm fine. How are you lad? I'm
Speaker 1: going I'm doing well. How much money did you have
Speaker 1: on last night's game? Let's say I have to still
Speaker 1: continue working. Yeah, my Tide didn't probably my worst pick
Speaker 1: of the year, but I guess Nick Saban has to
Speaker 1: lose a big game every now and again. It was
Speaker 1: an interesting game, you know, far different from any of
Speaker 1: the college championship games that we have seen. But listen,
Speaker 1: Hail Georgia and speaking to Georgia, what about what that
Speaker 1: state is? Now they win the World's with the Braves,
Speaker 1: and now they went the National College Championship, you know,
Speaker 1: with the Bulldogs and what's wrong with the Falcons? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? That's not that's not going to
Speaker 1: happen anytime soon. There little pressure on the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 1: Do you have a limit on how much you bet? Oh? Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm strictly a recreational better I would I
Speaker 1: would have been busted a long time ago if I
Speaker 1: tried to make a living out of it. Listen, I'm
Speaker 1: more of one hundred dollars better than a thousand dollars better.
Speaker 1: That's what all. That's what I would say, Dan, best
Speaker 1: bet you ever made, best bet I ever made, probably
Speaker 1: was on most recently was certainly the Raiders on last
Speaker 1: Sunday's game when we went far end of the night
Speaker 1: to finally beat the Los Angeles Chargers. That certainly is
Speaker 1: the most the most recent one that I've been able
Speaker 1: to catch. I also had the Raiders over seven and
Speaker 1: a half wins. I thought that was a low total
Speaker 1: for them going into the season, but I had to
Speaker 1: sweat it out in the end, and of course with
Speaker 1: their win streak at the end of the season, they
Speaker 1: did go past and wound up with ten victories. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to understand the fallout from the Chargers Raiders game
Speaker 1: that the criticism that Brandon Staley is receiving. Do you
Speaker 1: think the Raiders were going to play for the time Well,
Speaker 1: I think the possibility existed, Okay, I don't think they
Speaker 1: wanted to put Carlson on a field for a you know,
Speaker 1: nearly a sixty yard fihical. However, I really don't blame
Speaker 1: Staley and the Chargers for that time out, and they
Speaker 1: failed to execute when Josh Jacobs got loose on that
Speaker 1: last run. I mean, somebody could have stepped in and
Speaker 1: as the tackle, and then it would have been up
Speaker 1: to the Raiders to make the consideration. I certainly think
Speaker 1: that they were thinking about it over on the sideline
Speaker 1: because if they had missed a long field goal at
Speaker 1: that instance with a handful of seconds left, then you
Speaker 1: certainly would have given Herbert one final chance to push
Speaker 1: it down the field. And he was magnificent in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. But but you know, Stale wanted to adjust
Speaker 1: his personnel on the field. The linebacker that he took out,
Speaker 1: Murray has been a bit of a disappointment to the Chargers,
Speaker 1: and he took himself out of the game earlier in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I just happened to notice that from
Speaker 1: up in the up in the radio boots They wanted
Speaker 1: to get him out for a stout run defender, and
Speaker 1: they didn't work out Jacob. Jacobs made the cut and
Speaker 1: they didn't execute. But I honestly don't, I don't. We
Speaker 1: don't know what would have happened if they hadn't called
Speaker 1: the time out and kept the pressure. The one thing
Speaker 1: that the Raiders did do after the time out, which
Speaker 1: might have made it easier for Jacobs, a car had
Speaker 1: lined up, was going to be in the shotgun before
Speaker 1: the Chargers called the time out, and then he moved
Speaker 1: up underneach center. That allows him when he pivots to
Speaker 1: hand off, Jacobs can be moving at a higher rate
Speaker 1: when he hits that line, and that may have helped
Speaker 1: Jacobs explode and then and then pick up the additional
Speaker 1: yards and they were able to bring Carlson out for
Speaker 1: the tight end. I honestly going him Staley more for
Speaker 1: his fourth and eight at fourth down, going forward back
Speaker 1: on his own eighteen yard and I thought that was
Speaker 1: completely eric. Now we didn't score a touchdown after that.
Speaker 1: We did kick up field car all right, I think, listen,
Speaker 1: I understand analytics, but you don't win games with analytics.
Speaker 1: You win it with human beings and you had the
Speaker 1: better football team. I don't think there's any question that,
Speaker 1: man for man, the Chargers had better talent and more
Speaker 1: experienced talent down in the line. So you go ahead
Speaker 1: and punting that situation and let your team take over,
Speaker 1: all right. I thought that was the biggest mistake that
Speaker 1: he made, not necessarily that the final time out that
Speaker 1: everyone seems to be talking about, but Al Davis at
Speaker 1: would be rolling over in his grave if he knew
Speaker 1: the Raiders played for a tie and allowed a divisional
Speaker 1: opponent to make the playoffs. Like nobody's talking about that, Brent,
Speaker 1: that the Raiders I guess gave consideration to play for
Speaker 1: a tie exactly. And can you imagine, Dan, can you
Speaker 1: imagine what was going on in the city of Pittsburgh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was past midnight. And if
Speaker 1: the game had wound up in the tie, as you say,
Speaker 1: at the Vision opponent, the Chargers would have also gotten
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. There's one there's one other things that
Speaker 1: you should consider about the Raiders decision. And I'm assuming
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff knew about it. If the Raiders
Speaker 1: had tied the Chargers and both had gone to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: the Raiders would be to Kansas City this week and
Speaker 1: not Cincinnati. Now, I'm not taking any away from Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow marvelous young quarterback, Okay, but the Raiders they wanted,
Speaker 1: they want no part of the Kansas City Chiefs again.
Speaker 1: Might the Chiefs have put forty points on them and
Speaker 1: each of their two victories this season, so obviously they
Speaker 1: would prefer to go to Cincinnati all all the Bengals.
Speaker 1: I've got to point out the Bengals put thirty one
Speaker 1: on them in Las Vegas and Burrow didn't even throw
Speaker 1: for many yards. Derek Carr made a couple of big
Speaker 1: mistakes in the fourth quarter and the Bengals pounced on
Speaker 1: it and won the game rather easily. But I think
Speaker 1: any coach would say, yeah, I think I'd rather go
Speaker 1: play the Bengals. As a question about that injury that
Speaker 1: Burrows suffered a couple of weeks ago rather than go
Speaker 1: in and face the Chiefs, I agree, Brent. I brought
Speaker 1: that up yesterday. I'm like, people are missing a bigger
Speaker 1: story here. You don't want to play Kansas City because
Speaker 1: they've blown you out both times, and yes, you have
Speaker 1: to go cross country to play against Cincinnati. But Cincinnati
Speaker 1: their newbies getting into the playoffs here, like you want
Speaker 1: to play for the win. I had people who said
Speaker 1: this yesterday. You know, the Raiders still hold a grudge
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they would have tried to
Speaker 1: keep the Steeler. I'm going these players now, they have
Speaker 1: no idea what the hell happened with the immaculate reception.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Pittsburgh, they won Pittsburgh. I'd rather
Speaker 1: face Pittsburgh in the playoffs than i would the Chargers,
Speaker 1: So you know, for sure, for sure, because remember that
Speaker 1: the Raiders went to Pittsburgh first of the season and
Speaker 1: they beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh's certainly no doubt about
Speaker 1: it that. I don't think that prospect ever entered into
Speaker 1: their mind. I don't care. You have to be selfish,
Speaker 1: you have to be selfish on the sideline, and and
Speaker 1: so be it. I mean, I will tell you that
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, from my mind, played his best team of
Speaker 1: the year. He has not picked completely healthy, and it
Speaker 1: showed up on that run. And then you know, Daniel
Speaker 1: Carlson has been the iceman and you know, five game
Speaker 1: winning kicks. My goodness, what a year he's had as
Speaker 1: a kicker, and and so be it. And I'm happy
Speaker 1: for Derek Carry. He finally gets to play in a
Speaker 1: playoff game. The last time the Raiders, he was a quarterback,
Speaker 1: but he suffered a broken leg Week sixteen. He's not
Speaker 1: played down in Houston and the Texans eliminated the eliminated
Speaker 1: the Raiders. But it'll be interesting because you know, Dan As,
Speaker 1: you so well know the Cincinnati Bengals have had that
Speaker 1: long playoff droute. Okay, you have to I don't even
Speaker 1: know that boats Offson was in the NFL the last
Speaker 1: time the Bengals won a playoff game. So that's a
Speaker 1: long long time ago. And we'll see what happens. I'm
Speaker 1: sure the city is very excited. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see my favorite restaurants. Who are Jeff Ruby spell guys
Speaker 1: who like the wager on football games? Jeff, Jeff is
Speaker 1: a degenerate better I mean he he equently text for information?
Speaker 1: What do you think this week? What do you think
Speaker 1: we're talking to Brett Musper, he's the voice of the Raiders.
Speaker 1: They had the game with the Bengals coming up this weekend. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know all these tributes to John Madden. I forgot
Speaker 1: that you were. Was that at the Rose Bowl that
Speaker 1: you you worked with John when you were at CBS. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was at the Rose the super Bowl, but it
Speaker 1: was a super Bowl and it was the Rams who
Speaker 1: were playing the Steelers. And to give you a background,
Speaker 1: we had signed at John and we weren't too sure
Speaker 1: if he was going to be better in the studio
Speaker 1: or doing games, and so we put John up on
Speaker 1: the roof and he was talking primarily about the Steelers
Speaker 1: the AFC, and we also signed George Allen and he
Speaker 1: was going to talk about the NFC. So I had
Speaker 1: both of them up on the roof and by the
Speaker 1: time I got finished, I said to Van Goord and
Speaker 1: saw her who was the sports rasaid man. John Madden's
Speaker 1: got potential to be a star. He's just so entertaining
Speaker 1: when when he talks, you never know where he's going
Speaker 1: to go h and you listen carefully to him. And
Speaker 1: he was a star upon the up on the roof
Speaker 1: that it was. There was no doubt about Terry Bridge
Speaker 1: on the standards. Of course, defeata Vince Faragam on the
Speaker 1: Rams and won that particular Super Bowl. And another thing
Speaker 1: about John is that Vancord rather than start him out
Speaker 1: with Pat SUMMRL or Vince Skelly, who are to lead
Speaker 1: play by play guys, he put him with Gary Bender.
Speaker 1: And Gary Bender really really taught John Madden ma ins
Speaker 1: and outs of working up at a booth and it
Speaker 1: was such a good relationship. And then when the debate
Speaker 1: began as to who Madden would work with, Van again
Speaker 1: made an outstanding to said Van initially wanted him to
Speaker 1: work with Vince Scully, and then he was walked out
Speaker 1: of it by several people on the staff who felt
Speaker 1: that that John would have more breathing when working in
Speaker 1: a booth with Summer roll. And it was a fantastic
Speaker 1: decision because the rest of history, John is John one
Speaker 1: of the more entertaining people that I've ever been around.
Speaker 1: We finished up our NFC coverage. We didn't have the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl one year in Chicago, and John, of course
Speaker 1: was writing the train then a lot of people thought
Speaker 1: he was fearful of flying. It's not the case. He
Speaker 1: was closed for phobic and we always had a room
Speaker 1: in a hotel, either the third floor or lower form.
Speaker 1: But so I kind of felt sorry going headed to
Speaker 1: the train station and I said John, let me let
Speaker 1: me cancel my airplane reservation, will take the train back
Speaker 1: to New York. And of course it was in wintertirement.
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. We had two breakdowns, one en up
Speaker 1: state New York, and I think we got into Brand
Speaker 1: Central about sixteen eighteen hour. So I left. I said, John,
Speaker 1: I love you, my man, You're great, but I just
Speaker 1: took my last train trip back from my football game. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was dad. He was a delight, what a great life.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, first of all, one of the more
Speaker 1: entertaining coaches. Why did he retire at forty two? Though,
Speaker 1: Brent Well, I think he was exhausted, h and listen,
Speaker 1: part of it was still a claustrophobia, I mean, and
Speaker 1: then coustrophobia includes not wanting to get into a tightly
Speaker 1: uh controlled airplane up in the air. Okay, I mean
Speaker 1: that that was not a small pert. But he he
Speaker 1: felt he'd done what he'd done and it was time
Speaker 1: to move on. And uh, you know, he had the
Speaker 1: two sons and a great family man and and so
Speaker 1: then we took a shot of broadcast. He didn't know
Speaker 1: anything about it, hadn't paid a whole lot of attention
Speaker 1: to it, and uh I was able to come in
Speaker 1: and be the most dominant anialysts certainly of our time.
Speaker 1: I tell Young, I tell Young anialysts as I listen.
Speaker 1: The one thing that John did better than any analysts
Speaker 1: is didn't start talking right away. He used his monitor.
Speaker 1: They failed to understand that the camera sees so much
Speaker 1: more than the naked are in week after week after week.
Speaker 1: I hear these guys jump in and they really don't
Speaker 1: know what they're looking at. Okay, last night there was
Speaker 1: there was chaos and the early going what appeared to be,
Speaker 1: for example, a Georgia touchdown on a fumble and then
Speaker 1: the truck. You have to be very patient, and John
Speaker 1: always was because you wait for that right angle to
Speaker 1: come back, which showed clearly that Bryce Young's arm was
Speaker 1: moving forward last night and John was John was outstanding.
Speaker 1: And then we had a cameraman at cbsaid John Madden
Speaker 1: controlled and during the game he would look for those
Speaker 1: sidebar stories. You know, what's under the bench and what
Speaker 1: kind of gloves were players waiting? Wait, how did he
Speaker 1: control the cameraman, Well, he was the one who would
Speaker 1: tell the truck go over to you, go over to
Speaker 1: the Cowboys bench. I look behind it, I see some
Speaker 1: things over there to look interesting. He would tell the
Speaker 1: truck during commercial timeouts to send the sideline cameraman to
Speaker 1: look for those special especially if the game was close,
Speaker 1: dan important, and things were going back and forth. He
Speaker 1: didn't worry so much about that. But John Madden was
Speaker 1: the greatest ever in a blowout okay, because he looked
Speaker 1: for those sidebar stories that kept you entertained, gave you
Speaker 1: a chuckle going forward. And of course he invented Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: with the turkey presentation after the game, and those those
Speaker 1: were ideas that came from John Madden. And also he
Speaker 1: was the first analyst who insisted that there was a
Speaker 1: meeting the night before the game. I knew of pregame
Speaker 1: meetings in which the crew was actually in there for
Speaker 1: about three hours. Look at a tape with John, and
Speaker 1: he would go over to different things. He was a
Speaker 1: teacher as much as anything else. When when you work
Speaker 1: back in the days of CDs as our top analysts.
Speaker 1: Always great to catch up with you. Good luck this
Speaker 1: weekend against the Bengals, and we'll catch up with you soon.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brent. You got and take care about my
Speaker 1: head and that's Brent Musburger Hall of Famer. I can
Speaker 1: listen to those stories. You know, sometimes you forget stories
Speaker 1: that you have. And Brent's been around, you know, since
Speaker 1: the early seventies. It's like al Michaels. They just have
Speaker 1: incredible memories. And I do say this to my broadcast
Speaker 1: students at Full Sale University. You know, having a great memory,
Speaker 1: great recall is really important, and you almost have to
Speaker 1: train yourself that you remember things and remind yourself of
Speaker 1: things because when you have that that you're back and
Speaker 1: call and you're able to say, oh, it's that or
Speaker 1: that's the person. Because a lot of this if you
Speaker 1: do play by play a lot of it, you know,
Speaker 1: you're at being all of it. You have to be
Speaker 1: prepared those moments when you have to you know, kind
Speaker 1: of look back twenty years earlier, or another player that
Speaker 1: you might compare that player too, whatever it is that
Speaker 1: that ability to have recall is so important. You know.
Speaker 1: Jim Lampley, great sportscaster, unbelievable memory, Oberman photographic memory. He
Speaker 1: might have as good a memory as anybody I've ever
Speaker 1: been around. Al Michaels is crazy great. He was when
Speaker 1: we were at the Olympics and we were in Russia,
Speaker 1: and I remember Al was talking about I was talking
Speaker 1: about the we are Family Pittsburgh Pirates and Al tells me, oh,
Speaker 1: I remember, and it was on this day and the
Speaker 1: weather was this he had. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was true, but I'm believing that Al was describing what
Speaker 1: the atmosphere was like, what the weather was like, where
Speaker 1: the game was, how it played out. Unbelievable. You know
Speaker 1: he's got that. Yeah, it's a rolodex in his head.
Speaker 1: Bob Costas has that. Thank you, Mike Tarko. Great, great recall.
Speaker 1: But you know, you'll find that it's a common thread
Speaker 1: with a lot of these elite broadcasters because they count
Speaker 1: on it. All right, we'll take a break, last call
Speaker 1: for phone calls. What we learned, what's in store tomorrow

Speaker 1: is still a little down in the dumps from our one.
Speaker 1: He was talking to me during the commercial break and
Speaker 1: he goes, I'm a little mature and sensitive like that.
Speaker 1: He goes, you know, you hurt my feelings. And I
Speaker 1: didn't know if we were having a real conversation about
Speaker 1: the genuine feelings I was sharing with here. That wasn't
Speaker 1: like some acts for the scoreboard segment. I knew I
Speaker 1: was opening up to you. That's like, can you guys
Speaker 1: get piled on a little bit too much, okay, and
Speaker 1: then Todd said that social media said that Todd should
Speaker 1: just take off his shirt and walk out like Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: I got about forty five reasons as to why I
Speaker 1: will not do that. Yeah, um, will you have a
Speaker 1: pole question ready for tomorrow's show. I have a little
Speaker 1: note in my crazy notebook next to the guests boxes
Speaker 1: with little asterisks and reminders and like yellow highlighter to
Speaker 1: make sure that but you remember to do the scoreboard segment.
Speaker 1: I did, but those are like sometimes I'll do those
Speaker 1: a couple of days in advance because I'm like researching
Speaker 1: what's you know, things that are birthdays and things happening
Speaker 1: on that day. But there was no excuse, so I
Speaker 1: should have had poles ready and I didn't, and that's bad.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't have a limerick or mucket okay,
Speaker 1: and a first hour guest okay. But if we want
Speaker 1: to rehatch what I all the things I did not
Speaker 1: do and the okay, But I said, did you bring
Speaker 1: this on yourself? Some of this? And I said, I
Speaker 1: guess to a certain extent for the reasons I just mentioned.
Speaker 1: Then you guys really smacked me around there. But we
Speaker 1: move on. And I didn't mope like I would normally do.
Speaker 1: I rallied in the second and third hour. But you
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to tell me two minutes ago that I
Speaker 1: hurt your feet things. Don't you want me to be
Speaker 1: able to I know your twenty years. I can't open
Speaker 1: up to you, you can. I didn't. I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: hurt your feeling. Okay, all right, I'll get over it eventually.
Speaker 1: By next Wednesday, I'll be fine. Yeah, but just make
Speaker 1: sure you don't repeat all the mistakes you made in
Speaker 1: the first that's all. There were a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 1: You would think that, okay, show up. You know, we
Speaker 1: don't have mclovin anymore. You know, we're okay, so we
Speaker 1: have to do some things that mcloven used to do.
Speaker 1: That's all. That's weird. We've got to wear us a
Speaker 1: couple more hats. Not a big deal. And I dropped
Speaker 1: the ball and I'll pick it back up. Anthony and
Speaker 1: Queen's Anthony, thanks for holding what's on your mind this morning? Anthony?
Speaker 1: Anthony eight today can say it like you're in Queen's Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, all right, what it's on your mind? Anthony? Well,
Speaker 1: First of all, Happy New Year, six to two thirty five.
Speaker 1: I got a chance to I got a chance to
Speaker 1: watch the National Championship game, and I didn't understand the
Speaker 1: last possession of Alabama. They took their time. They were
Speaker 1: marching down the field now with forty four When now
Speaker 1: they're at the forty four yard line with less than
Speaker 1: just under eighty seconds at three timeouts. Why did they
Speaker 1: start bombing the balls and try to go for the end, Zoe.
Speaker 1: They could have just sit there and try to take
Speaker 1: that time quick slant routes. They still had three timeouts left.
Speaker 1: I didn't understand they had logic. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: hear your input on it. They did have three timeouts.
Speaker 1: I didn't understand their whole offensive philosophy last night. If
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about not just what was happening
Speaker 1: in the final drive, and you know, right before the interception,
Speaker 1: he threw a great pass that was dropped, and I
Speaker 1: mean things changed quickly there, Kurt and Ohio, Hey Kurt,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Damn? How are you doing? Everything's
Speaker 1: just gone After watching the show here and I'm part
Speaker 1: of the group now that I'm laid up with the
Speaker 1: broken foots now I'm watching. Well, I hate to say,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm happy you got a broken leg. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you do, but I'm glad you don't.
Speaker 1: Don't give me a broken leg. I just got a
Speaker 1: broken foot. Now, I'll come on, so I want to
Speaker 1: get this. It's real quick, Fritzie. Your pull question tomorrow
Speaker 1: will be what will be the biggest upset this weekend
Speaker 1: in football? And the other thing is, I watched that
Speaker 1: game last night, and are you telling me that I
Speaker 1: watched the best player in college football and Ryce and
Speaker 1: Young because I didn't see that. I mean, that National
Speaker 1: championship game was garbage. Well, he was facing the best
Speaker 1: defense we've seen in college football in a little while,
Speaker 1: to be fair to him, and what he did against
Speaker 1: that same defense in the SEC title game. You know,
Speaker 1: is he the best player in college football? No, but
Speaker 1: you know he checks all the boxes for winning a
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy. Last night, he didn't play well, didn't play
Speaker 1: well at all. He had fifty seven pass attempts, Like,
Speaker 1: don't you think Alabama? You think run? Now, they couldn't
Speaker 1: run against them, but you're getting three yards of carrying
Speaker 1: And there was no imagination, creativity, with the Alabama offense
Speaker 1: last night. That was the surprising part of all of that.
Speaker 1: Kat in Los Angeles, Kat Yo, it's Ksey, but it's
Speaker 1: all good. Yeah. That was Yeah, that was Bill O'Brien
Speaker 1: last night and unimaginative. You know, it almost reminded you
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl when Tampa Bay was able to
Speaker 1: shut down Patrick Mahomes and had him running for his
Speaker 1: life last year against Kansas City. You know that Raider
Speaker 1: Charger game when people were talking about a tie scenario.
Speaker 1: I would like, nah, no way. I was tweeting all
Speaker 1: that out. Davis would be rolling over in his grave
Speaker 1: if that would have planned been a plan and it happened.
Speaker 1: And I got a stat of the day too. You
Speaker 1: were talking about demotis a bonus and twenty three rebounds.
Speaker 1: That's week on November fourth, nineteen. Okay, I get the
Speaker 1: music please, Oh okay, here we go. Casey die oh
Speaker 1: November four of the nineteen fifty Wilt Chamberlain had fifty
Speaker 1: five rebounds. Yeah, in one game against the Boston Celtics
Speaker 1: and Bill Russell. That's what I'm talking about. That's Casey
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. That's your stat of the day. The
Speaker 1: fact that he did it against Bill Russell. Like you
Speaker 1: have fifty five rebounds now. Granted, shooting percentages back then
Speaker 1: weren't very good. You had more rebounds, but still fifty
Speaker 1: five bounds in a game for Wilt Chamberlain, and he
Speaker 1: did it against Bill Russell. He would always score against him,
Speaker 1: you know, he would win the individual battle with Bill Russell.
Speaker 1: It was just Bill Russell had a better team. What
Speaker 1: Russell did for his team was better than what Wilt
Speaker 1: did for his team, usually in big situations like that
Speaker 1: fifty five rebounds bis Day Sports History Paulie, A couple
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventy three owners of the American League Baseball
Speaker 1: teams agreed to adopt the design a hitter at a
Speaker 1: trial basis, you know, still on a trial basis. And
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven, this is a big one
Speaker 1: because it was right about when we were getting ready
Speaker 1: to do our show here, it was announced that David
Speaker 1: Beckham had signed a five year, two hundred fifty million
Speaker 1: dollars contract with the LA Galaxy, and we had him
Speaker 1: on our first week on the air. Yeah, intelligence runs
