16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Did you ever play on Thanksgiving? Absolutely, it's the same

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: team as the Cowboys, the Lions and whomever they play,

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: and so they normally always make that either a division

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: game or a conference game. So absolutely not, but always practiced.

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Like it's eleven o'clock East Coast time, guys are practicing

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: some guys probably started practice at ten, some at nine.

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: But everybody's out there practicing day. Every single team that

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: that isn't playing today, they're practicing as we speak. Yeah,

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: in college basketball. Um, college basketball, you practice if you

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: don't play, like you don't play. Now there's a lot

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: more Thanksgiving tournaments than there used to be. Uh these,

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: but but uh, you practice in the morning and then

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: like when I was at Notre Dame, we went to

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: each went to a coach's house. When I was at

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: oklahom State, we go to the country club and and coaches.

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: My coach's late wife, Patsy Sutton, she would she'd come

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: into locker room or come to practice like two weeks

33
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: before and pass out like a paper where everybody got

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: to write down your favorite dish and then whoever made

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: it for you at homes numbers like your mom or

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: your grandma or your your dad or your grandpa whatever,

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: whoever cooked before. You're like, well, I want that, you

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: know how some people have that what's that purple kind

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: of casseroli sort of thing that people somebody will tweet

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: us at Gottlieb Show. Yeah, I don't eat casserole. Yeah,

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: but it was like a purple mushroom and mushroom marshmallow

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: something jelloy. I don't know, but like we had somebody

43
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: get that, and we had dudes like, I want mac

44
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: and cheese, but I want to like how my mom

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: makes it. I want I want greens, but I want

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: to how my grandma makes it. Anyway, that's how that's

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: how they would get They would get the recipe and

48
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: then they get the recipe to the chefs and they

49
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: try and Matt and the chef and they try and

50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: match it. It It was kind of cool. But practice in

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: the morning, you'd eat and they're like, hey, let's come

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: back and practice the night, and it doesn't matter what

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: you did. It was it was not productive at all

54
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: after eating all that food. Not productive at all. I

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: mean for us in the NFL, that was the culture.

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Would always have you practice in the morning so that

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: you can spend Thanksgiving, what's your family. For the most parts,

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: you're down pretty early. You won't watch the practice film

59
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: of practice today. You'll do that tomorrow, and so that

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: that's why you kind of get out of there early.

61
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: So tomorrow will be a little longer than normal. Because Friday,

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: if you play on Sunday as normally you get out

63
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: fairly early, but not tomorrow because although he's giving you

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: a break today, you're gonna make it up tomorrow. So

65
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: then you so you go home and then you always

66
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: watch the games? Or you were you still? You know,

67
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: once you start to have a family, was it too

68
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: much family time to even watch? What else is going on? No?

69
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Will you miss part of the first game? Oh no, no, no, no, no,

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm watching every game, Doug. I just love football, man, No,

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I know you do. Now I'm talking about as a player.

72
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: As a player, Yeah, like that. That love for football

73
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: was created before I got to the league. Stayed with me.

74
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would watch the game's family if we

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: got family over. Um, we're watching a game. We may

76
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: play some spades, some pity pass, some tonk or whatever, dominoes, whatever, maybe,

77
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: but we're watching a game. For sure. This is the

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: weirdest experience I've ever had. This just goes back my

79
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: first year living in Connecticut. I just moved up there.

80
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: We were in town called Burlington, Connecticut, and my neighbors

81
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: I remember we moved into a house and we didn't

82
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: have It was the first time I ever heard of

83
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: a counter depth refridgerator. I moved in like no, no fridge, Like,

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: no big deal, We'll bring up our fridge was moving

85
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: up from Oklahoma City and like, yeah, you need a

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: counter depth fridge and we had to order it like

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: special or whatever. So we had like a we borrowed

88
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: my neighbor's fridge for like a month and it was

89
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: just me and my wife and we were I remember

90
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: We're sitting there, Um, like what were we gonna do?

91
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: And thanks hive when we can't get a turkey in there?

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: And they our neighbors were nice enough to invite us

93
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving dinner, so um, we walk over their house right.

94
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if we baked something or something, and

95
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: I remember we were we were talking and drinking for

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half and I was like, hey, um,

97
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: you guys gonna throw the game on and I've never

98
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: heard They're like what game? Excuse me? Wow? Excuse me?

99
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: What game? Like there are actually people that exist that

100
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: don't know that it's good. Yes, wow, Like it's a

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean Thanksgiving not even as much as super Remember

102
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: superow one hundred fifty million people watch. That means meby

103
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: don't watch right, And that's that's that's the other part too,

104
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: It is there are people that don't watch so baffling

105
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: to me that people don't watch sports like that is

106
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: really what are you? Are you even watching TV? And

107
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: if you are, what are you have a lot of Well,

108
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: you have a lot more free time. You have a

109
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: lot more free time than the rest of us do

110
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: right on on weekends because you know, like yet yet

111
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: kids in sports and then you watch sports on like

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: what else do sports tea? Like? Take away from sports

113
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: being extremely fun, like it's so fun to play. Yes,

114
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: the lessons that you learn that you don't realize you're learning,

115
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: the way you communicate with people that come from so

116
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: many different backgrounds, so different than you. I mean, it

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: teaches you so many lessons, how to fight through adversity,

118
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: how to handle your wins, your loss is set back.

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: There's just so many things you learn from sports that

120
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: it's the best. It's nothing like it, nothing like it,

121
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: nothing like it at all. Let's let's get to one

122
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: of the stories to day, which is Lebron James goes

123
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: off last night, plays really well, no, Anthony Davis. They

124
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: come from behind force overtime where actually they had to

125
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: lead and Indie forced overtime. Indie's just gotten healthy and

126
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: they're player playing much better off late goes overtime. Lebron

127
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: ends up with thirty nine points and kind of wins

128
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: the game, seeminglarly on his own in terms of his

129
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: own scoring. But the one of at least one of

130
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: the stories with Lebron is going to be that he

131
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: had a fan ejected now at thirty nine, five rebounds,

132
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: six assists, and the outscore of the Pacers twelve to

133
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: four in overtime. But the big question is um why

134
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: Lebron had two fans rude because if you if you've

135
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: seen the highlights by now, it wasn't like hey I

136
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: heard something over here was him and her, they're out,

137
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: here's Lebron after the game, Lebron, what can you share

138
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: about that interaction with the fan, what they did or

139
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: what was uncomfortable for you? I mean, nothing is uncomfortable

140
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: for me, but you know, it's a difference between cheering

141
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: on your your your home, faithful, you know, buoying opponents

142
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, or not one of your

143
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: opponents to be successful. And then there's you know, moments

144
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: where he goes outside the line. What I've seen gestures

145
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: and words and that shouldn't be tolerating our game from nobody. Um,

146
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: I would never say it to a fan, and a

147
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: fan should never say it to a player. So that's it. Okay,

148
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: So the question you share about that and so so

149
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: TJ now that you've heard Lebron's response, which is he

150
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to share the magic words. And my case

151
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: for Lebron is threefold, right, Like, look to me, this

152
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: completely deescalates without having to be like you don't have

153
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: to be confrontation. You just go him and her out

154
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: and if you look at the ticket, they have the

155
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: right to kick you out anytime you want. I think

156
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: it's a good deterrent for other fans. I think it's

157
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: I honestly think, as a guy who's as respected as

158
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: anyone who's ever played in the league, like, it's a

159
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: good like, Hey, dude, don't need to get into it

160
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: with these people. If you if something gets the level

161
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: of being over the line, just kick him out and

162
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: let's move on this plus play ball. So I but

163
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: but here's the biggest thing. When he pointed to the

164
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: dude and the woman and the woman they both had

165
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: like matching leather jackets or whatever. You could tell they

166
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: were together if you ever get to that point where

167
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: matching shoot me. But they didn't put up a fight.

168
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: They weren't pointing the no, no, no no, what me? What

169
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: are you talking? They didn't do the hands point palms

170
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: towards guy, like what are you talking about? They were

171
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, you got us, so sorry, put under jacket,

172
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: walked out. Okay, so now you've heard this sound, you've

173
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: heard my case. Do you support Lebron James kicking these

174
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: people out? I really I need to know what was said,

175
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Like fans are fans of their team. What could they

176
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: have said that said him off to where the other

177
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: fans and say, hey guys, you guys might want to

178
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: chill out, like chill out? What why are you? Why

179
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: are you saying this? And so I just won? How

180
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: much should they pay for those tickets? Two? They did

181
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: pretty much see the majority of the game. I just

182
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: would like to know what was said, But Lebron doesn't.

183
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: We haven't seen this happen where a player literally just

184
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: I want these two and so whatever they said really

185
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: got under his and it really bothered him to the

186
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: point where he was like, I'm not dealing with this

187
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: any longer? Can these people be ejected? And so for

188
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: that matter, I do agree with it, but I would

189
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: like to know what was said, because as a fan,

190
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: you're chairing for your team, you're gonna say, number one,

191
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: you think they had a couple of adult beverages, or

192
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: maybe more than a couple, and so that that messed

193
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: their judgment up, and they say certain things that they

194
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't have said. And so that's why I would like

195
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: to know, because you don't want to start setting a

196
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: president that if a fan is going at you chairing

197
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: on their team and it may go overboard, are they

198
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: gonna get kicked out? Are they not supposed to say

199
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: anything to the player. If that's the case, let's move

200
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: these seats back a little further so they don't have

201
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: that access where they're really up on the players that way.

202
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: And so I think that's unique about the NBA is

203
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: the fans are so close to the players. I'll look

204
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: and that's that's part of the sale, right, And that's

205
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: what makes them a lot of money, is that you

206
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: can see them. And there are some some uh some

207
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: Twitter Twitter speculation that it was about it was about

208
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: Brawnie whatever, but here, here's the deal. Okay, fans. I

209
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: get that they're fanatics. I get that they pay a

210
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: lot of money, But there are a lot of people

211
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: that go to a game. If you sit in the stands,

212
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: you're like, I cannot believe the things that you're saying.

213
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I just I can't say it to like, you know,

214
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: we've seen the fight videos, like what is the You're like,

215
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: what is the matter with people? You know? I remember

216
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: I've done games. Last year we had to broadcast I

217
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: did the Big Ten Tournament. We had a broadcast from like,

218
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: you're like up, You're not on the court level, so

219
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: you're up. We're up, like it was in the new

220
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: Indie Dome whatever that's I can't remember what that's called.

221
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: And you're like up basically in and amongst the fans,

222
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: and you'll have people yelling out things. You're like, what

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: are you doing? Why would you? How would you ever?

224
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: And there's people around and they're kind of uncomfortable too.

225
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: But you just I understand what you're saying. DJ. I'm

226
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: just telling you, Like, there's a Bill Burr is a

227
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: great comedian, right, he has that he has that he

228
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: had the bit about the mouth of the Palace, and

229
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: the idea of the bit was, Hey, how many years

230
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: did you heard guys go like come up here? Why

231
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: don't you come up here? Well, Ron Artests came up

232
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: there and knocked out an entire row of people with

233
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: one punch, right, Like fans on some level have it

234
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: coming right and like, I just I get it, like

235
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: you hear something like you know what, I'm just I'm done.

236
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: Do I think Lebron is super sensitive? Yeah? But dan

237
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: do I think the idea of like you can't talk

238
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: about my family and if it was you know what

239
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: duck Lebron has been getting getting this his entire career

240
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make it because he's been the man. And so

241
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying, like, is it is he's getting older,

242
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: He's going to tolerate less because I mean Ron Artests

243
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: he was stuff was thrown on him. Is as Lebron

244
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: has played so many years, has his patience I'm tired,

245
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: I'm not done with this anymore? Yes, Or that they

246
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: really overstepped their boundaries. I think that. I think he's

247
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: that he got he's gotten older, and I think it's

248
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: that he's seen it probably crank up. I think Look,

249
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: I think The Russell thing puts everybody kind of on

250
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: edge a little bit. Plus you're coming off that Detroit thing.

251
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: I think it's like kind of all factored in, and

252
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: people just you know, they have a couple of SIPs

253
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: of beer, they're sitting real close. They think they can

254
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: yell anything to you. My deal is if they didn't

255
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: say anything wrong. If I paid a grand for a

256
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: ticket to see Lebron James, I don't care if there's

257
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: five seconds left to go whatever and somebody comes and says,

258
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: kick me out, like yo, I didn't say anything wrong.

259
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: I would have put up a major fight. Tickets costs

260
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: in Andy, how much you think they cost? They are

261
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: not cheap, James. The one time he yeah more than

262
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: that about that was that was like mid court feet

263
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: on the wood, right, like my buddy's a pump, say,

264
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: like it ain't on the wood. It ain't no good

265
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: right feet on the wood that those are? Yeah, you're paying.

266
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: You're definitely paying at least four figures for each seat

267
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: to sit there. My guess is, um not probably mid

268
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: four figures right, Like you're over over a thousand, maybe

269
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: over two thousand bucks. That will be a warning to

270
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: all as you'm saying. If it ain't on the wood,

271
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: it ain't no good. Shut your mouth. Enjoyed the game, Um,

272
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: just watch what you say. Just watch what you say.

273
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: But I don't want to take away from me. I

274
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. When I could go back and forth with

275
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: a fan. It just made it fun. I mean, when

276
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: you lost, it's like when you win, it's like, yeah,

277
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: but you almost, I you almost. I actually do feel

278
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of sympathy for Lebron because if he

279
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: doesn't say anything, you just gotta sit there and take it.

280
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: But if he does say a thing, and like, that's

281
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: his right to just go hey you and you out.

282
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: I like that a lot better than Russell with Russell's

283
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: confrontation with dudes right that that is not going to

284
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: end well, Like there's just no there's no reason, like

285
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: you have the power. Just goodbye and and it's a good,

286
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: good one. Okay, what about the team? Do you like this?

287
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: The Lakers as they're currently comprised. Man, I don't like

288
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: the way we're playing, Doug Man, It's just god, it's

289
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: we're not playing good. We're not playing good defensively, we

290
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: don't we don't help the helper guys will get a jump,

291
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: it'll be a guy right there and you can just

292
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: contest a shot even though he's not your guy. We

293
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: kind of just sitting watch. We don't box out. The

294
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: offense doesn't flow the way it should when Lebron isn't playing.

295
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: When Russ is playing, well we're good. But when he's

296
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: not and Lebron isn't playing, it's a d's gonna settle

297
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: for jump shots. And if we're hidden, jump shots were good,

298
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: but we're not really going to the whole. Like watch

299
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: when we play Milwaukee. I was just like a D.

300
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: You can do everything that Jannis does, go do this,

301
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have a mentality that Jannis has. He

302
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have that dog an that Jannis has it. And

303
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: so we have a long ways to go. We gotta

304
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: get better defensively. Offense is going to come and go.

305
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: Defense needs to be constant. You know, there's a couple

306
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: of things there. First, it should be pointed out to

307
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: people who go, like, see, Lebron is still the best

308
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: player in the league, Like, have you seen what Jannis

309
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: has been doing all season long? Right? Like Lebron was

310
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: great last night, Jannis has basically been doing that the

311
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: entire season, and the guy is it. It's your level

312
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: of consistency when you're able to be the best player

313
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: in the league. And Jannis and KD have been more consistent. Obviously,

314
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: they've been out there more as well. Now in terms

315
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: of Lakers, like look, I don't know how much more

316
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: clear it can be to people who are watching, but

317
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: you got rid of your two best perimeter defenders right

318
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: one's playing, got KCP turned in. They made KCP into

319
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: a dog defensively, he became a very good and then

320
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: Alex Crusoe. And no matter how hard it looks like

321
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook plays, he's not a great defensive player. He

322
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: takes lots of plays off though he had and he's

323
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: he's just not a spring chicken. He's at four knee surgery.

324
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: Not that not that guy, nor has he ever been

325
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: as consistently good defensively. But but and look, the Lakers

326
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: aren't on whole. You know, you don't have a reason.

327
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: You've had you've had some you know, you've had injuries

328
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: as well to some of your bench players, and you

329
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: haven't had Lebron. I think they'll be better offensively, but

330
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: I think defensively unless they add a piece or two.

331
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't see how they guard better on the perimeter.

332
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: Lebron's not that guy anymore. I think a reason they

333
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: think is going to be the defender he was a

334
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: decade ago. He's not. And the options that they have

335
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: like a Russell Westbrook and a Maligue Monk and others.

336
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: While they're good players and maybe better offensively than Caruso,

337
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: they you lose that, it completely changes your identity. And

338
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: that's where they're going through trying to figure out what

339
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: they are because when they won a championship two years ago,

340
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: they were defensive menace. Now they've got to be more

341
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: of an offensive the team to beat you. We and

342
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: also you got DeAndre Jordan, you got Dwight Howard in

343
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: the middle. It clogs, It clogs up the hall and

344
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: the paint. We just got to figure out who we are.

345
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: When when you look at the teams that are good,

346
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: hearing that it's the defense jump shots when we're making them,

347
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: were the best team, and when we're not, it's like

348
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: we have to play defense. Like when Carmelo's on. Offensively,

349
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: we're hard to beat, but it's the defense, Like we're

350
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: about twenty some points against Oklahoma City lose. That's defense.

351
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: Those those are the type of games that come back

352
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: and hunt you when you lose the teams early in

353
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: the season that you should beat, and now you're playing

354
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: in the playing game when you shouldn't have to play

355
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: in the playing game had you won those games, you're

356
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: supposed to win. And so this defense and freak vocal

357
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: is a defensive coach. We gotta get it together. T J.

358
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: Herisman's out and joining me. Plexico Burst is going to

Speaker 1: and The Dan Patrick Show Fox Sports Radio brought to

370
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: you by Mercedes Benz. The best or nothing. The Titans

371
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: play the Patriots this weekend. Titans are weird, weird year, right, Obviously,

372
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: lose Derick Henry, You're not gonna be the same. But

373
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: four picks for Ryan Tannehill. But to beat the teams

374
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: they've beaten and then to lose to the Jets and

375
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: the Texans, is I mean that that's some rarefied air

376
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: right there. But anyway, Brady's taken on the Patriots, his

377
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: old team that he played for, and he said this quote,

378
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: I think there are similarities this between the Patriots team

379
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: this year and the two thousand and one Patriots team

380
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: that won the Super Bowl. Obviously, there's a lot of

381
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: history there with one particular quarterback, Tom Brady, and I

382
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: think you're starting to see some of those plays start

383
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 1: to look like they looked in the past. Max did

384
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: a nice job of executing, proving, proving what it is

385
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: they want him to do. It's what they're asking to do.

386
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: I'd say he has a strong grasp of what they're

387
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: doing now. If I remember, TJ, when you were a

388
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: rookie with the Bengals, you guys played against the Pats,

389
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: but Bledsoe was still the quarterback, right, We won no no,

390
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: no no bledso no, I believe Brady was a quarterback.

391
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: Brady came in to start. Brady came in after it

392
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: was the week after it was week no. But remember

393
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: you forget that they had September eleventh, and then it

394
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: was shut down. I know this because this is a

395
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: true story, and I want your true story in a second.

396
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: So my first gig hosting a national radio show was

397
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: that Sunday. Okay, so I want you to picture this.

398
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm in Oklahoma City. I'm still playing guy. I played

399
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: a year in Rush, I come back. I'm doing local

400
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: radio in Oklahoma City, just to pay some bills and

401
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: uh and a buddy mine. Jim Traber is the he's

402
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: the color analyst for the Diamondbacks, so he's Diamondbacks for good.

403
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: So I was filling in for him while he's gone

404
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: waiting for an overseas gig. Then September then nine to

405
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: eleven happens, and so everything you know, usually you leave

406
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: to go play overseas in September and go in training.

407
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: Everything got pushed back like a month, month and a half.

408
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: So that next weekend, if you remember, everything was shut down,

409
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: no games, know nothing, and then the fall weekend we

410
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: had games. Well, ESPN Radio wanted to bring everybody into

411
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: Bristol do the shows, and the overnight show, which I

412
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: was a guest on when I was a player, was

413
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: called Todd right all night. And Todd didn't want to

414
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: get on a plane, didn't want to whatever. I don't

415
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: know he was off that weekend or whatever. So they

416
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: flew me in. I flew through Cincinnati from Oklahoma City Cincinnati.

417
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: There were three I thought I saw three other travelers

418
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: in the airport. The rest were all National Guard with

419
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: with dogs or National Guard with machine guns. Land go

420
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: to Bristol and then I gotta watch football games. So

421
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: I go to a place called Sliders where you get

422
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: wings places packed. Bledsoe gets hit trying to go out

423
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: of bounds, right, Mo who hit a Mo Mo Collins? No,

424
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: not m'collins. It was a linebacker for the Jets, but

425
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: it wasn't Mocollins. I'll think of it in a second. Anyway,

426
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: he hits Bledsoe. I go on the air TJ molu

427
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: us yes, and Bledsoe was like it was one of

428
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: those where he was getting out of bounds, like, dude,

429
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: you gotta get out of bounds quick and he kind

430
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: of let up before he got out of bounds, and

431
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean he got he got hit so hard as

432
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: dog probably got hurt. Right, So in goes radio and

433
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm the idiot on National Radio, first ever radio show. Everyone.

434
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, the Pats are you can cross

435
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: them off. They're done this year. Right. Turns out that

436
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: was that was a bit wrong. Um, anyway, go ahead,

437
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: tell me your Patriots story of that season. It was

438
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: when when you played the Patriots. Obviously they when we

439
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: played them two thousand and one, number one. I was

440
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: inactive and so you don't really put too much stock

441
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: in it. Obviously it's my first NFL game, so you excited.

442
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Then when you realize you're inactive, you really don't know

443
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: how to enact as inactives work. You just assume you're

444
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: on the team. You're gonna suit up, and then you

445
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: go into your locker room, and you're going into the

446
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: locker room, into your locker and you're like, wait, we

447
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: don't handle jersey on my shoulder pants, don't You don't

448
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: really understand that you're not suiting up, And so it's

449
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: like they have to because you practice all week and

450
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: so that was the first. You just didn't understand the

451
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: active inactive. And to this day, I'll never get why

452
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: you're on the team and everybody is not allowed to

453
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: suit up. I don't understand that. That's a rule that

454
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't understand. They if you're on a team, you

455
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: should be able to suit up and play. But I digress.

456
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: But I don't remember a ton from that game because

457
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't playing, But I do remember us winning a game.

458
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: I do remember the Patriots not starting well as a

459
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: team that season and then going on to win the

460
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The Patriots this year did not start well.

461
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: I don't believe they'll go on and win the Super Bowl.

462
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: But when you look at the comparisons from what Vrabel

463
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: was talking about, you you can you can say, okay, yeah,

464
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: I can see you know they're they're one in three.

465
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: After the first quarter of the season, You're like, oh yeah,

466
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: belichicked the messed up and drafted Mac Jones and then

467
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: they rill off all these wins because in two thousand

468
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: and one they were also one in three, and so

469
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: those comparisons are fair because record wise is very similar.

470
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: And now the Patriots are on a five game win

471
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: streak and before they won a Super Bowl. They finished

472
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: the season with five wins in a row and then

473
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: went into the playoffs and it just kept rolling. And

474
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: so similarities. I record wise, it's there. They played great

475
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: d defense, they don't turn the ball over. Mac Jones

476
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: is taking what the defense gives them. Rabels, you see

477
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: the similarities. You want to make sure that you're not

478
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: on that list of victims because the Tennessee there. Record wise,

479
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: they're a good team. But I don't really look at

480
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: him as a when you tell me, if you ask

481
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: me who would I pick to go to represent the

482
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: AFC in the Super Bowl, I've named four or five

483
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: teams before I name the Titans, and so Derrick Henry back. Yeah,

484
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: even if they have Derek carringback, because he's going to

485
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: have been out for so long that him coming back,

486
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be in shaved. You gotta knock that

487
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: rust off. He's gonna miss too much of the season

488
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 1: for I believe for him to come back and make

489
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: a big impact. T Joge Benzata, Doug GOTTLIEBN for Dan

490
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: and the Dannettes and The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

491
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Okay, So if you don't like Tennessee and

492
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: it's in the AFC, and you said, like, look, even

493
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City's offense is not what it should be. Right now,

494
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: who do you like? And when you sit here and

495
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: right right now, you know and I guess I'm I'm

496
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: living in a moment. I like. I like the way

497
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: the culture playing on both sides of the ball. When

498
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: when Lamar Jackson isn't that lineup. Obviously you liked the

499
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: Ravens and then the Kansas City Chiefs. I was really

500
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: high on the Bills. I don't know what's going on

501
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: the way the coach just went in there and oh

502
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: smacked them. It wasn't even a ball game. It was

503
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: an embarrassment, really, to be honest with you. And so

504
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: those would be the three teams Baltimore, Kansas City, and

505
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: Indy that you say, I could see those teams. I

506
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: just can't see Tennessee without Derreck Henry making a run

507
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I just don't. I mean you you

508
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: talked about this earlier, how Stafford through four picks in

509
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: two games he gave that game with Tennessee. Tennessee had

510
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: nothing offensively, Yeah, they took the game, but offensively they

511
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: didn't do much against the Rams, and so I just

512
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: don't see Tennessee being that type of team, and so

513
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: they would fall in my five or six. I would probably,

514
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: if Baker's healthy, put Cleveland in front of him, because

515
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: I believe Cleveland's defense would be able to slow Tennessee's

516
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: offense down. Yeah, I just don't know if they'll get

517
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: to that point of being actually in the playoffs. That's

518
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: that's the problem with whatever the talent is there for

519
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: the Browns, but they just haven't been able to put

520
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: it put it all together. All right. So speaking of

521
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: the Bills, right like, this is a you're playing a

522
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: completely depleted New Orleans team today, Like there's just feels

523
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: like no should be no excuses for not what's no

524
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: matter what the Bills is Josh Allen not as good

525
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: as we thought. This is a it's odd to me.

526
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say Josh Allen isn't as good as

527
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: we thought. I believe Josh Allen is a stud. He's

528
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: just not playing the way he played last year. Like

529
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: he was so lights out last year, Doug. It was

530
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: like almost scary how good he was playing, and the

531
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: thought that he could get better and would be better

532
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: it was like, Wow, if Josh Allen improves, he's gonna

533
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: be a perennial MVP candidate every single year. They're just

534
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: not playing well. I thought going into the season, where

535
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: was the pass rush going to come from? They still

536
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: they almost played how Kansas. They don't want to run

537
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: the ball. They don't try to run the ball, and

538
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: it's hurting him. But Buffalo has been a surprise for

539
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: me in a bad way. I thought they would be

540
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: much better than what they are. I thought that the

541
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: vision would go through them. Yeah, let's let's bring in

542
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: Plexkill Burrows who joins us. Of course, you can hear

546
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: let me go with the I think the biggest game

547
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: is Rams Packers This Sunday, the Rams lose Robert Woods

548
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: but Gaye Odell Beckham Junior. But but my thing about

549
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: Obj is he's more talented than Robert Woods. But he's

550
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 1: not a little things guy like Robert Woods. Is. Can

551
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: you make Obj or somebody into a little things guy?

552
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 1: Because they already have Cooper Cup, They already have other

553
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: people who do the big things. Man, you know what,

554
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,840

Speaker 1: had my. I had mine in the twenty four hour

562
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: Brian Man with some uh, some salt, some pepper corns,

563
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: some some Bailey's apples and orangins and uh you know

564
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: that's how That's how I do it over here. But yeah,

565
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: just getting it in. But yeah, man, Uh, I love

566
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: Robert woods Man. I think, uh, you know, bringing him in,

567
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: bringing ob J in to to join that offense, it's

568
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: only gonna make them better. And uh you know, even

569
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: though he's down, I think the more of that O

570
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: b J gets in rapport with the offense and um

571
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: and and Matthew Stafford. Uh uh we talked about this

572
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: last week myself, TJ. I'm picking the I'm picking the

573
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: Rams and come out of the NFC. I really am.

574
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: I think they are that talented on offense, especially with

575
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: the addition Davon Miller on defense. I think they're gonna

576
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: be special. But you know, it all depends on how

577
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: fast O b J can pick up this playbook. And

578
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: you know it's a it's a good stuff for him, uh,

579
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, good offense. And I'm really expecting for the

580
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Rams to go through the roof. We were talking Rams

581
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: in the NFC when we were just discussing the AFC.

582
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 1: What team do you like or teams do you like?

583
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: And who's been a surprise disappointment, you know what surprise

584
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: for him? For me obviously, when Derek Henry written down

585
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: you know that that really that really hurts Tennessee because

586
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: now I think Royn chatting Hill gets exposed. I really do.

587
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: I played with Mike Braybo for seven years in Pittsburgh.

588
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: I understand is philosophy big back. We had ron when

589
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: when we were all playing together, so you could kind

590
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: of hide the quarterback with it the running game. But

591
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: now that they do, they don't have that. Ryn Tannehills

592
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: don't have to go out and win some football games,

593
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: and I don't think I don't think a lot of

594
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: people noticed. But he's not you know, he's not that

595
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: good as a quarterback. He's not accurate. He's never been

596
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: a pastor. So but Derek Henry being out, they could

597
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: hire him within the running game. So Tennessee, with him

598
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: going out, it kind of puts them, you know, at

599
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: the bottom of the AC South. But in the AFC,

600
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: it's wide open. I really expect for the Baltomore Ravels

601
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: to make a run. They have the defense to get

602
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: it done. Obviously Lamar Jackson, if he continues to improve

603
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: and win football games, it can really be the Baltimore Ravens.

604
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: I really believe that. But there's no clear team in

605
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: the AFC right now that you can say, uh, you know,

606
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: it's a powerhouse, the Bills. I didn't understand that landing

607
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: at all. Can I can I can I ask you

608
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: guys a question. You guys are both super talented Pro

609
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: Bowl wide receivers, right, so let me give him my

610
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: read on on the Browns thing with Baker. I get

611
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: that he's hurt. I get that they've had other issues, right,

612
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: and I do think that guys genuinely like Baker right,

613
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: because he always usually is about sticking up for his

614
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: dudes and whatever. But there comes a point when you

615
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: can't play. You can't play right if you're not good enough,

616
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: You're not good enough, and you can't fool You can't

617
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: fool dudes in that locker room. You can't fool real

618
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: players because they know. Is that the point that we're

619
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: at where he's kind of been exposed or is there

620
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: something because this was a weird week where his wife

621
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: goes on Instagram to you know, calling out the toughness

622
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: of others, and he avoids the media like it was

623
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: a weird week. Plaques, you give me your read. You've

624
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: been in you both of you guys have been in

625
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: this position before. What's really going on in Cleveland? Man?

626
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: We talk about it is almost every week when we

627
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: talk about the Cleveland Browns is Baker Mayfield. You can't

628
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: fool anybody anymore. Baker Mayfield is not a franchise quarterback.

629
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: We keep saying that he has the same statistical Gardener menship.

630
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Tell me, think you if Garden miss you on the

631
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: NFL roster right now, they have the same exact numbers.

632
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: I listen, I know we see him on Teller Vision

633
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: and we see him all these progressive commercials and all

634
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: of that. The guys in that locker room know he

635
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: is not a franchise quarterback. So he's a good player,

636
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: but he is not within what do we say, it's

637
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: a top fifteen quarterback in the NFL. I'd have says

638
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: the first round draft pick. I get it, number one

639
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: draft pick. But as far as leading a franchise and

640
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: contending for a world championship, he's not that guy. When

641
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: when when Gardener? When when when Baker was drafted? I

642
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: tweeted out, I said, congratulations, Cleveland Browns, you will have

643
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: the number one pick five years from now. Wow, he

644
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: got one more. They got one more year exactly. You

645
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: know what, Doug, it's like this. When his wife comes

646
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: out and says what she said, that's pillow talk. That's

647
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: him talking to her at home, telling her how banged

648
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: up he is, what she knows, and how everybody else

649
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: is being soft. All she's doing is repeating what he's

650
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: told her, and now it don't look too good. And

651
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: even and DJ even if he didn't, even if she did,

652
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: he didn't tell her that. That's the assumption that everybody

653
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: makes Oh, that's how Baker really thinks. That is how

654
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: your wife is not gonna put that out there if

655
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: y'all not talking about it, She's not doing that in

656
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: that entire locker room knows it. Hey, With that being said,

657
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: if Baker may feel and Matt Ryan swapped teams, there

658
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: will be nothing different. It will be the same exact

659
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: respects for both organizations. Plaques, Uh, plaques what times of

660
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:24,600

Speaker 1: when you're frying. Uh, you know turkeys and things of

00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: Gotlieman for Dan Dan Dan Patrick Show, Fox Sports Radio. Um,

685
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: who is your favorite offensive coordinator you ever played for? Wow?

686
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: I would probably say, uh, I have my most success

687
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: under him. So Bob Bratkowski? Why what was it about

688
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: what he did? Or did he just believe in you?

689
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: What was it about Bob that the allied to be

690
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: so successful? We called we called him bratt coach bratt Um. Honestly,

691
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm laughing. I wouldn't say initially he believed in me.

692
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: I might have been forced to believe in me. Um,

693
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: But I learned a lot, and when when I sat,

694
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: learned a lot. For people that don't understand. It's like

695
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: when we are in Cincinnati, we would have to sit

696
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: in meetings the receivers with the offensive line and quarterbacks.

697
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: And he used to be so boring, Doug, so boring.

698
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: They're going over protections and you look over, guys are

699
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: on their phone or they fallen asleep. I would just

700
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: take notes, and I didn't realize I was learning their

701
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: protections and I was learning football because I was just

702
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: paying a tension and we would put plays in and

703
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: if it was one high, you would run it this way.

704
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: If it was too high, you would run it this way.

705
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: And too high could be covered four, cover two, cover six,

706
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: so it would be different variations. And so I thought, oh,

707
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: it's like this everywhere I leave, I go to another

708
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: team and I'm like, hey, so on this play, if

709
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: we get a two high look but it's not covered

710
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: two its quarters, how do you want us to run it? Like? Oh,

711
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: just get open? I was like wait, wait, wait, wait.

712
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: If the quarterback is going to throw at anticipation, I

713
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: can't just get open. He needs to know how I'm

714
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: going to run it. So he can throw it with anticipation.

715
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: If he if I'm just gonna get open, he doesn't

716
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. And so we were very

717
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: attention to detail. It probably didn't show as much as

718
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: they gave it to us in Cincinnati, but I learned

719
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: a ton of football from Bratt, protections, how to run routes,

720
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: what to do, what not to do in certain situations.

721
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, it would be Bratt. And I'll tell you what.

722
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: When I wasn't Cincinnati towards the end, I was a

723
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: bit of a butthole, just just because you kind of

724
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: get tired of the losing and you want to blame

725
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: the coaches. I promise this is a true story. When

726
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: I left Cincinnati and I went to Seattle, I called

727
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: Bratt and I told him, I said, I want to

728
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: apologize because you were so much better of a coach

729
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: than I ever gave you credit for. Now that I'm

730
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: not with you, I just want to let you know

731
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: how much I learned from you and how great of

732
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: a coach you are that I didn't realize when I

733
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: was playing for you. I told him that. I told

734
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: him that. Okay, so my next question would be, who's

735
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: the worst offense coordinate ever played for. I wouldn't say

736
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: I had a worse offensive cording man now, I really

737
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: be honest, because like, for instance, I played for All

738
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: Going Order, I played for Greg Nap May Rest in Peace,

739
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: and then I pay for Cam Cameron, and then technically

740
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: it was Hugh and Alexanders. Alexander's offense is very complicated. Um,

741
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: you you can't be a dummy and played for Alexanders.

742
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: If you're a dummy, it's too tough. Cam Cameron his

743
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: run game, like we had concepts in a run game

744
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: that I had never seen. This was like my tenth

745
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: year in the league. Like certain concepts I had never

746
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: seen when I got to Baltimore. Give me an example, like,

747
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: for instance, we'd be running the ball to the right,

748
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: the tight end would just sprint to the flats like

749
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: it was a pass play. Every team I've been on

750
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: that tight end was blocking. But he felt like if

751
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: you sprint to the flats, you're gonna draw a defender

752
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: thinking it's a pass play. And I was like, well,

753
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: I had never seen that before. A lot of teams

754
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: do that now. They weren't doing that back then when

755
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: I was playing. And so just his concepts in a

756
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: run game, the passing game. It wasn't as nuanced as

757
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and even Seattle. Greg not probably had the best

758
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: playbook that I had, Like he had so many great concepts,

759
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: but he was a guy that liked to run a

760
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: lot of screens. And Hugh Jackson. He was a coach

761
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: that you want to play for because I pretty much

762
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: got my chance to play because of Hugh. He came

763
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,959
Speaker 1: in there and said, I'm gonna play the best guys.

764
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. Like we were sitting

765
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: in the meeting, Hugh Jackson walks in there. It was

766
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: like twelve receivers. He's like he named four of them one, two, three, four,

767
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: pointed him out. You four on the team, the rest

768
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: of you eight or battling for two spots. I was like,

769
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: WHOA No coach had ever told us that before. Like

770
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: he was, so you play bad, Hey, if you keep

771
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: playing like this, you you're not gonna play. Or if

772
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: you keep playing like this, you're not making a team.

773
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: He was so honest that I appreciated the transparency, black

774
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: or white, no gray error with you. And that's what

775
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: I liked about him. He's personable. He makes you want

776
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: to play for him. But I told him, they're not

777
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: giving me a chance to play here, and that's why

778
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: I said, what Bratt, he probably was forced to play me.

779
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: He was like, I'm playing the best guys. Peter Warre

780
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: breaks his leg against the New York Jets. I get

781
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: a chance to play, and I was a starter for

782
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: the rest of my career, pretty much as t. J.

783
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: Husbands Ota joining us. I bring that out because des

784
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: Brian had some of the best moments of his career

785
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: playing for the obviously not just the Cowboys, but for

786
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett as their head coach, and Jason Garrett's a

787
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: play caller. Dez tweets out after hearing the news about JG.

788
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: That's Jason Garrett, Kadarius Tony, you will get to experience

789
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: to love and joy for football throughout your career. When

790
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: asked by one of his followers if he didn't like Garrett,

791
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: he tweeted, great, dude, never respected his philosophy towards players

792
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: and the game. Translate that for me, that's personal. When

793
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: you say respected his philosophy towards players, that that seems

794
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: a little personal, like his philosophy. Did he not respects

795
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: you did he make it seem like it wasn't the player,

796
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: it was the exes and knows and not the joes,

797
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: so to speak. And when I saw that, that that's

798
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: how I took you. I don't believe Das cares for Jason.

799
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: It might be some underlying how much of it is

800
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: just did he cut him? Right? Like like Dez Bryan

801
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: got cut when Jason Garrett was the coach. And it's

802
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: like anybody who's ever lost a job or lost, you know,

803
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: a job within a job end of the day, the

804
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: guy who makes the decision is the guy you're going

805
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: to be bitter towards, right, really, just really dug If

806
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: you really believe Jason Garrett made the decision to cut

807
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: him or Jerry Jones and those guys made the decision,

808
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know, but I can't tell you

809
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: that Like Jason Garrett was viewed as like the other, uh,

810
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: the other son to Jerry Jones, right, Like that's that's

811
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: how he everybody like, man, you can't talk to Jason Garrett,

812
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: he might as well be a Jones boy. So like

813
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: you blame everybody, I believe there's some underlying disagreements that

814
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: they may have had that we don't know about, but

815
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't believe Jason Garrett. I mean, yeah, he was

816
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: the head coach when Das Briant was released, but when

817
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: when you look at it, it was des Brian went on.

818
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: He had from like I believe it was like twenty

819
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: twelve to twenty fourteen. Those three years, des Brian was

820
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: lights out. He was scoring and catching touchdowns, putting up

821
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: big yards, and then after that it was kind of

822
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: hit or miss. He he had three years and ROB

823
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: believe he had a thousand yards. He didn't crack a

824
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: thousand yards again in and out of the lineup because

825
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: the injuries. He just wasn't able to get back to

826
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: that level. And it was four years of that. It

827
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: wasn't like it was like, Okay, you got six hundred

828
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: yards in twenty fifteen and twenty. He never got close

829
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: to a thousand yards again. And it was four years

830
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: after those three years where he really let it up.

831
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: I believe Jerry Jones got rid of him. But when

832
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: you play for a head coach that's an offensive coordinator,

833
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: I think these coaches sometimes don't understand, like, if you're

834
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: a good coach, you're going to teach us the game.

835
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 1: Now that I know the game, don't get mad at

836
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: me for knowing the game that you taught me. And

837
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: so when I voiced my opinion whether I should voice

838
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: it or not, I'm voicing the philosophies that you taught me.

839
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: And if I think what you're saying isn't correct, should

840
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: I not voice that? Because these philosophies are coming from

841
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: you and what you have taught me. And that's what

842
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: happens coaches. They teach you the game. As soon as

843
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: you question what you've been taught, they don't question me.

844
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, you know, It's just that That's where

845
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: I think it could be a disconnect. But Jason good

846
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: was he not awful? With New York? Oh my god?

847
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: They were terrible. They were terrible. How can you be

848
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: How can you be that bad? How can they be

849
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: that bad? How can we like, how can you have

850
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: dudes running into each other in the middle of the season.

851
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 1: And you know what's crazy, it's what they got dudes.

852
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 1: Like they have dudes on that team that, if you

853
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: their receiving corps is really good player for player talent wise,

854
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: they're really good. Say quin Park, you don't know what

855
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: he is yet coming back from his injury, Daniel Jones

856
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: has shown flashes done. They're awful on offense man and

857
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens, uh come back with the magic that he

858
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: had when they ar Hugh in Cleveland when he had Baker.

859
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: If he does that, it's really gonna make Jason Garrett

860
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: look even worse. But the Giants were awful and Daz

861
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: Bryant just stated his opinion on Jason Garrett. If Freddie

862
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: Kitchens turns us around, we gotta look at Davis Brian

863
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: and say, ah, he's onto something. Doug gottlieb tja husband's

864
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: out of end for Dan the DNA's this is the

865
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah uh, he

866
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: went does went on and said trash. I can't help

867
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: people like to hear my thoughts about sports. I mean, dude,

868
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: did coach my entire career. Trust me, I'm not the

869
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: only one who feels the same way about him. The

870
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: difference between me and a lot of people is, I

871
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: don't sugarcoat ish. Guy sacrificed a lot and get misused, right,

872
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: so it didn't feel like he was used any He

873
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: did have an outstanding career, like a ring of honor,

874
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 1: not Hall of Fame. Caliber career
