Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio hour or two. On this Wednesday, Dan and
Speaker 1: The Dane's Stan Patrick Show had a good visit with
Speaker 1: Mike Tarico last hour. If you miss any interviews, just
Speaker 1: go to Dan Patrick dot com. You can listen to
Speaker 1: them in their entirety. Micha will be on the call
Speaker 1: Saturday night. Notre Dame versus Clemson. Notre Dame has lost
Speaker 1: its last eleven games against a top five opponent. That's
Speaker 1: since two thousand and five. They had a win against Michigan.
Speaker 1: They've gone oh and five under Brian Kelling and the
Speaker 1: Fighting Irish. Last win over a number one team overall
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three versus Florida State seven point underdogs. And
Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of both Notre Dame and Clemson
Speaker 1: this year, and I think Notre Dame looks a lot
Speaker 1: different than they did at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 1: They run the football well. I think the defense is
Speaker 1: a lot better than you think. And it really comes
Speaker 1: down to the quarterbacking play. You're gonna have to take
Speaker 1: some shots, come up with some big plays. At Clemson
Speaker 1: come into town and this is a it's a good
Speaker 1: test for both of these schools. Find out if Notre
Speaker 1: Dame belongs in the Final four and if Clemson is
Speaker 1: the favorite, uh, you know, with a backup quarterback and
Speaker 1: being a seven point favorite. I was told it would
Speaker 1: be double digits as far as if Trevor Lawrence was there.
Speaker 1: But dj OUI young delele, he is who would look
Speaker 1: good against BC. It was the defense. I think Dju
Speaker 1: that that's they need to come up with T shirts.
Speaker 1: Just DJU. Yes, boy, we called him RG three for years.
Speaker 1: We'd still be calling him RG three. We weren't calling
Speaker 1: him Robert over the third O b J. Yeah. Dju,
Speaker 1: especially if becomes a great quarterback, just makes his life easier,
Speaker 1: our lives easier. This weekend on NBC, you got a
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Primetime It's Clemson Notre Dame and then an
Speaker 1: all new Saturday Night Live. Sunday NASCAR Crowns a Champion.
Speaker 1: Phoenix coverage begins at two eastern, and then it's Breeze
Speaker 1: versus Brady Buccaneers Saint Sunday Night football coverage begins Football
Speaker 1: Night in America at seven eastern. Chris Collinsworth will be
Speaker 1: on the call with Al Michaels with that game. Chris
Speaker 1: will join his coming up in about twenty minutes from now.
Speaker 1: Quiet NFL trade deadline. Antonio Brown is active for the
Speaker 1: game coming up Sunday night. And I went back and
Speaker 1: looked from twenty two thousand and eleven to twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown led the NFL in receptions eight hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty one receiving yards, just over eleven thousand, receiving touchdowns
Speaker 1: seventy four. He's played just one game in the two
Speaker 1: seasons since then. He had four catches for New England
Speaker 1: in Week two of last year. He would probably be
Speaker 1: a rough estimate here. He would have thirteen thousand yards,
Speaker 1: he'd probably have a thousand catches already, and he would
Speaker 1: probably have maybe ninety touchdowns if I just looked at
Speaker 1: his numbers from two eleven to twenty eighteen. And I
Speaker 1: don't know how important the Hall of Fame is for him.
Speaker 1: I think just getting back and playing football and Tom
Speaker 1: Brady embracing him, having Antonio Brown stay at his house
Speaker 1: as he gets ready to make his debut on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is set to meet with the media today
Speaker 1: and I don't know if there's anything off limits there.
Speaker 1: I mean, you start to run down the things. This
Speaker 1: isn't a second chance. This is like the ninth chance.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that are still in play
Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown. But Tom Brady wanted him, and Brady's
Speaker 1: not the only guy. Russell Wilson wanted him. This isn't
Speaker 1: just Brady wanted him and looks the other way with
Speaker 1: everything that's gone on with Antonio Brown. There were other teams,
Speaker 1: including Seattle, reportedly interested in Antonio Brown. But because it's
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, it feels like when you look at an
Speaker 1: NFL tweet or Twitter, it's about you. How could Brady
Speaker 1: do this? He wants to win. They all want to win.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson wants to win. There's a lot of characters,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bad guys. You only need him
Speaker 1: for three months, that's it, and maybe you do something
Speaker 1: with him, You get to a super Bowl, maybe win
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, and then you decide if you want
Speaker 1: to keep Antonio Brown. But he's done you a favor,
Speaker 1: You've done him a favor, and then maybe somebody will
Speaker 1: take a chance on him. There's so many things. I
Speaker 1: still don't know what happened when he went into the
Speaker 1: cryotherapy and burned his feet, and then you have lawsuits.
Speaker 1: You know there's sexual assault in there. He threw furniture
Speaker 1: off the balcony, like there's so many things involved with it.
Speaker 1: I think he got it, got into an altercation with
Speaker 1: a guy who worked from a moving company, called the
Speaker 1: commissioner racist. I don't know where you start with him.
Speaker 1: And Tony Dungey was with us yesterday and he said, look,
Speaker 1: I'm all for second chances. I'd like to hear some
Speaker 1: contrition here. I don't know if you're going to hear.
Speaker 1: Then with Antonio Brown. Something changed with Antonio Brown. And
Speaker 1: I have no documentation, I have no sources on this.
Speaker 1: But when I think back to the hit that Vontes
Speaker 1: Burfick laid on him in the Steelers Bengals game, it
Speaker 1: just felt like Antonio Brown became a different player, and
Speaker 1: I wondered for his health. I wondered mental health, like
Speaker 1: just get him better as a person, not hey, you
Speaker 1: want to come in and play football, you gotta get right.
Speaker 1: And he went off the rails and it just felt like, now,
Speaker 1: maybe there was a lot going on behind the scenes
Speaker 1: with the Steelers. We know that he was a character
Speaker 1: inside there. You know, when he's videotaping, you know, a
Speaker 1: postgame speech by Mike Tomlin. He's not supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing that. You know, he wants to get his Instagram
Speaker 1: or Twitter followers or whatever he's doing on social media.
Speaker 1: And maybe it was just like a perfect storm that
Speaker 1: it all kind of came together at the same time,
Speaker 1: and it just felt like he became something different than
Speaker 1: what we really enjoyed fell in love with. You're around him.
Speaker 1: We were around him at the Houston super Bowl. He
Speaker 1: came in. He could not be more charismatic, and you
Speaker 1: kind of fool yourself. You go, man, he's a good guy,
Speaker 1: But is he I don't know. I don't want him
Speaker 1: on my team. I wouldn't. I'm all for second chances.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you're a fan of Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: what choice do you have here? Like PAULI was a
Speaker 1: fan of the Cubs and they brought in Chapman, rolled
Speaker 1: as Chapman and he had baggage too. Well what happened?
Speaker 1: You won a World Series with Chapman. As you're closer,
Speaker 1: you'll take it. It's tough. It's tough sometimes when you're
Speaker 1: a fan of a team and they bring in a
Speaker 1: guy that you really don't like what he stands for,
Speaker 1: what he does, what he's done, who he is, But
Speaker 1: when they go out there and perform, you kind of accepted,
Speaker 1: like he's he's he's ours. Yeah, Pull, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: a long timeline of instance for Antonio Brown, and if
Speaker 1: you go back to the Steelers days, they start out
Speaker 1: kind of innocent and self centered, like promoting stuff. Remember
Speaker 1: he did the Facebook live and the kle in the
Speaker 1: locker room with coach Thoman talking to background or no.
Speaker 1: Then it gets a little weirder. When he was on
Speaker 1: the Raiders last year, fourteen months ago, he threatens to
Speaker 1: retire from the NFL because the league banned his the
Speaker 1: kind of helmet that he'd used for ten years. And
Speaker 1: then he wasn't joking and the general manager had to
Speaker 1: get involved and the coach had to get involved to
Speaker 1: get him to play football with a different helmet, and
Speaker 1: then it just ramps up. Week by week it gets worse, instance,
Speaker 1: with moving vans and live streaming, hollering up people on
Speaker 1: the street, and it just gets drastic. And he's still
Speaker 1: got that trial. It's civil trial. Yeah, Is that a
Speaker 1: sexual assault trial or is it a rape trial. I
Speaker 1: think the word being used a sexual assault, okay, And
Speaker 1: there's domestic violence accusations from Sports Illustrated last year, which
Speaker 1: made the Patriots release him. He made a debut, you know,
Speaker 1: with September fifteen, twenty nineteen, five catches fifty four yards
Speaker 1: and the Patriots win. He's cut two days later, and
Speaker 1: Brady reportedly was trying to keep him on the team.
Speaker 1: And look, if Brady can somehow resurrect his career and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Antonio Brown and help him, it's fine.
Speaker 1: The really the bigger picture is not that he can
Speaker 1: still play football. I just want to know if he's
Speaker 1: right mentally because the things that he's doing, some of
Speaker 1: it might be for attention, but there's other stuff that's
Speaker 1: involved in this that I think there's some other things
Speaker 1: at play. Theami Cluvin, there was a lot of it.
Speaker 1: There was some Monday Morning quarterback that there's a reason
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown went to Eastern Michigan. There's a reason he
Speaker 1: fell in the sixth round. Like people knew the character
Speaker 1: that came out, but I'd never heard it until until
Speaker 1: the Raiders Central Michigan, Central Michigan. Sorry, Yeah, Like he
Speaker 1: obviously was talented enough to go to a big school
Speaker 1: and talented enough to go Remember when he recorded a
Speaker 1: conversation that John Gruden, like Gruden called him and then
Speaker 1: he was recording it and released it, then released it.
Speaker 1: Now he makes his debut coming up on Sunday Night.
Speaker 1: It's always the guy who's talented who gets the second
Speaker 1: chance and a third or fourth or fifth chance. They
Speaker 1: never go. You know that guy's not very good, but
Speaker 1: I want to give him a second chance. Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Chris Collinsworth on how he thinks Tampa
Speaker 1: will use Antonio Brown. Yeah, he'll join is coming up.
Speaker 1: I saw this headline. Doctor Fauci expects limited capacity for
Speaker 1: sporting events deep into twenty twenty one. This is VIA's
Speaker 1: Sports Business Daily. Doctor Fauci said that limited capacities for
Speaker 1: American sporting events likely will continue deep into next year.
Speaker 1: He explained that even quote if a really good vaccine
Speaker 1: has developed, mask wearing will continue well into the third
Speaker 1: or fourth quarter of twenty twenty one. Also said that
Speaker 1: there will be quote a graded gradual progression towards normality.
Speaker 1: Ultimately when we get this under control, not only at
Speaker 1: the domestic but at the global level. We will start
Speaker 1: to approach what we call normal, Doctor Fauci said, I
Speaker 1: don't think that it's going to be at a level
Speaker 1: where people are going to feel like there are no
Speaker 1: public health measures to be implemented until we get to
Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty one at least. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we're in it for at least another year. Feels like,
Speaker 1: to what degree having fans? Uh, you know, depending on
Speaker 1: what sport you play in. You know, is the NBA
Speaker 1: hindered because you're indoors football outdoor stadiums? How many fans
Speaker 1: can you have? At what point do we start to
Speaker 1: expand that a little bit? And I do want to
Speaker 1: mention what I said at the I don't know, probably
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes ago. Wisconsin's in a real serious situation
Speaker 1: where their season could be forfeited. I don't know who's
Speaker 1: going to be available for the Michigan game. They've already
Speaker 1: had two games they've missed. They're not going to be
Speaker 1: factoring in for the national title. But if you have
Speaker 1: another game that's canceled, then from what I'm told, Wisconsin
Speaker 1: is running the risk of forfeiting their entire season. And
Speaker 1: Camp Randall would be used as a hospital because of
Speaker 1: the spikes in Wisconsin. So that was my source told
Speaker 1: me that yesterday, and they would get their starting quarterback
Speaker 1: back there. In fact, their first and second string quarterbacks
Speaker 1: would be back for the Michigan game. We just don't
Speaker 1: know how many players are going to be available for
Speaker 1: that game because it's twenty one days in the Big Ten,
Speaker 1: and that goes back to what happened with Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: It's not ten days in the a SEC, as my
Speaker 1: source told me, it's fourteen days. And that's why Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence will be available to Clemson on Monday. Next Monday
Speaker 1: is when he'll be available. Yes, Polly, if this or
Speaker 1: the SEC, there would be Monday Night football and it'd
Speaker 1: be Notre Dame versus Clemson on a Monday night, they
Speaker 1: would have moved that game somehow, Yes, yeah, somehow we
Speaker 1: got to play this game on Tuesday afternoon. Somehow we're
Speaker 1: the stadium is not available. All right, McLevin, What kind
Speaker 1: of pull question do you have for me? Yeah, we
Speaker 1: put up Paul He's special. Would you rather have the
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league or the number twenties? Having
Speaker 1: picked eighty four percent, said the best quarterback. I feel
Speaker 1: like that question is an oversimplification though. Isn't that what
Speaker 1: it should be? Though? If you're the Packers, do you again?
Speaker 1: I know I bring up the Packers every time, But
Speaker 1: if you're the Seahawks of the Packers, do you care?
Speaker 1: What helps you get a title this year and won't
Speaker 1: help you get a title in three years? What am
Speaker 1: I giving up up? First? Okay? Okay, I gotta give
Speaker 1: up a first round or if I have to have
Speaker 1: a new contract not this year, well then I definitely
Speaker 1: bring on stuff on Gilmore for a second round, Oh,
Speaker 1: for late first round pick. If I'm Kansas City, I
Speaker 1: don't think they need him as bad as the Packers would. Oh,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. Yeah, I want to keep him
Speaker 1: away from you. Yeah. Yeah, if I'm Kansas City and
Speaker 1: I can get that guy who I don't want to
Speaker 1: face in the playoffs and their pick is gonna be
Speaker 1: the thirty first pick in the draft for you know
Speaker 1: around there. Yeah, yes, I think in the moment, you
Speaker 1: don't care what happens three years from now. But three
Speaker 1: years ago the Patriots won the Super Bowl, and the
Speaker 1: whole talk this year is how did you guys blow
Speaker 1: up this whole team. You completely screwed everything up making
Speaker 1: these moves. So I mean, right in the moment, you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll take that ring, But then that's only gonna last
Speaker 1: nine months because then you're gonna be wondering why you
Speaker 1: ruined everything. But then they didn't use their picks wisely.
Speaker 1: That's the problem. So they had first round picks, they
Speaker 1: just whipped on their first round picks. Nikkil Harry's a
Speaker 1: bit whiff there. So I think if i can trade
Speaker 1: and get Stephon Gilmore and I'm giving up my first
Speaker 1: round draft pick, then I've got a guy that I
Speaker 1: know is good, bordering on great for the next three years.
Speaker 1: Question is do I want to pay? You know, these
Speaker 1: teams would rather draft somebody and then they have them
Speaker 1: for four or five years, and they have them at
Speaker 1: a moderate price. Stefan Gilmour is going to cost you,
Speaker 1: you know, and he's not happy with his contract. Yeah, point,
Speaker 1: I agree with seating. Like the Bears trading for Kalo Mack.
Speaker 1: They give up the entire future for one player, and
Speaker 1: he is very good, but they've lost a lot of
Speaker 1: draft capital. I think that the Packers are a lot
Speaker 1: closer than the Bears were, and it's more of a
Speaker 1: timing play to me than a draft pick play. Well,
Speaker 1: you have to know what kind of team you have,
Speaker 1: because if you feel like we have one piece that's missing,
Speaker 1: and it felt like the Patriots knew that when they
Speaker 1: got Durrell Reevas, they knew we get him, we're winning
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and it turned out that way. I
Speaker 1: don't know. If you to Green Bay you can get
Speaker 1: stuff on Gilmore. Okay, we still can't stop the run Seattle, yes, McLean, Yeah,
Speaker 1: green Bay doesn't want Gilmore, right, they have a raheemost problem.
Speaker 1: They basically, well, if they don't have to face the Niners,
Speaker 1: then then that's pretty good. The Seahawks perfect for him,
Speaker 1: you know, I thout I think the Seahawks have I
Speaker 1: think they like their defensive backs. Yeah, well they have
Speaker 1: a and the really good player the Jets guy Jamal
Speaker 1: I'm just coming back next week so he can cover
Speaker 1: up for a lot too. Yeah, yes, pulling. But going
Speaker 1: back to the Packers, the Packers must look at this
Speaker 1: NFC and say, we don't worry about the NFC East,
Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about the NFC North. We
Speaker 1: gotta worry about Tampa and Seattle. Those are the really
Speaker 1: contending teams. Yeah, they don't have to worry about the
Speaker 1: Niners anymore. The Rams not really. Yeah. The Saints, yes,
Speaker 1: ish Yeah, I don't rule out the Saints. I think
Speaker 1: they they're they're quietly winning really close games. And you
Speaker 1: still got Kamara, Thomas is coming back. Defense can be
Speaker 1: really good. You got Sean Payton, Drew Brees can be
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah. I'm club they got Sanders and Thomas
Speaker 1: coming back for that big game. It feels like they're
Speaker 1: playing possum. Why is Michael Thomas I played? You asked
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan yesterday. I didn't even understand his answer. He
Speaker 1: doesn't know, And if he does know, he's not telling me.
Speaker 1: He said, Michael Thomas will play. When Michael Thomas is
Speaker 1: told to play, what does that mean? That might be
Speaker 1: the doctor's telling him he can play. That feels like
Speaker 1: there's two different reasons why. There's something with Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: and his personality, teammates, teammate, and then there's the injured
Speaker 1: ankle and I don't I don't know what is fact
Speaker 1: in fiction. It feels like there's some I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's animosity, but Michael Thomas feels like he's angry
Speaker 1: at somebody within the Saints organization. We'll take a break,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Chris Collins truts. By the way, congratulations
Speaker 1: to a major League baseball If you wanted to hand
Speaker 1: out the Golden Glove, the Gold Glove awards and nobody
Speaker 1: know that you were doing it, well done. Hey, you
Speaker 1: know what, We're going to hand them out Tuesday night. Great.
Speaker 1: Not that we make a big deal of the gold gloves,
Speaker 1: but the only reason why I make a deal of
Speaker 1: it now is because you really basically said, nobody cares
Speaker 1: about the gold glove. This is the like the hidden
Speaker 1: ball trick. This is the hidden glove trick. Like nothing
Speaker 1: to see here. By the way, Paulie came to me
Speaker 1: privately and said I have an explosive IT team report,
Speaker 1: and he said it could make our show, Mike quoting
Speaker 1: you correctly, It's the report of the year by the
Speaker 1: IT team. We're cruising to the Emmy with this one. Wow,
Speaker 1: we've been up all night. When are you going to
Speaker 1: have this expose? Checking my sources, I would say twenty minutes,

Speaker 1: CHEFTI trying? What about shams? Sharania Field? Yates is outside

Speaker 1: that level? Wow? Twenty after the hour. This is the
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Quality. Sleep is more important than ever
Speaker 1: we head into winter. It's a natural immunity booster. And
Speaker 1: you know what that means, Todd, what is it? No,
Speaker 1: it's sleep is a natural immunity boost. You need a
Speaker 1: lot of hours asleep, and you need a comfortable bed
Speaker 1: and mattress to lie. Yes, but it helps with energy
Speaker 1: and recovery. Does you need a great night sleep and
Speaker 1: that will help you fend off all these bad things
Speaker 1: that are out there. You also want to get a
Speaker 1: good deal on it. You're not going to send all
Speaker 1: kinds of crazy money for it. No, but this bed
Speaker 1: is worth it, the Sleep number three sixties smart bed.

Speaker 1: I want to make sure I'm quoted correctly with this.
Speaker 1: This is from a source yesterday. If Wisconsin can't play
Speaker 1: six games, there's a good chance with the States spiking
Speaker 1: with COVID cases, they will shut down the season. Camp
Speaker 1: Randall a possible field hospital. My source goes on to
Speaker 1: say they won't have a full roster when they play Michigan,
Speaker 1: but we'll have both quarterbacks returning. Their game against Purdue canceled.
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to happen. Their game against
Speaker 1: Nebraska was canceled, and it looks like if one more
Speaker 1: game is canceled, they might be shutting things down and
Speaker 1: turning Camp Randall into a possible this is possible field hospital.
Speaker 1: It's bringing Chris collins Where Sunday Night football analyst, Pro
Speaker 1: Football Focus, majority owner the Chris Collinsworth Podcast. He'll be
Speaker 1: with Alan Michaels on the call Sunday night, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees. It's a big event weekend on NBC.
Speaker 1: Also the Breeders Cup Classic on Friday and Saturday, Clemson
Speaker 1: Notre Dame in primetime Saturday night, NASCAR Cup Series Championship
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. How's morale, Chris? Well, brother, you started
Speaker 1: going through Wisconsin and Michigan. I thought I was listening
Speaker 1: to the election again. I'm like, now, Sarah, do you
Speaker 1: do what I do? Do you sit up and like
Speaker 1: every election night. I used to love doing this, even
Speaker 1: though it's during the season and you're a little worn
Speaker 1: out anyway, and the whole thing. But I would love
Speaker 1: sitting up and watching the whole election night coverage and
Speaker 1: a little bit of the history of it and everything.
Speaker 1: And now it's like election month, election week, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what you call it anymore. I
Speaker 1: did not stay up to watch it because I think
Speaker 1: that it's probably going to be a few days before
Speaker 1: this is even called. So I just thought, no matter
Speaker 1: what has said tonight or last night, there's no finality
Speaker 1: to it. I'd rather just wait, let it all spill out,
Speaker 1: and then sort of slice and dice and consume it
Speaker 1: after that. Yeah, I got to say hi to Bobby
Speaker 1: night there. I miss seeing Bobby. Used to come to
Speaker 1: all the events around town. I got a chance to
Speaker 1: see him and talk to him a lot. And one
Speaker 1: of my all time favorites. So that's that's some collection
Speaker 1: you got going on that desk right there. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got Yeah. I just collect everything. What's the greatest piece,
Speaker 1: the best piece of sports memorabil you you have? You
Speaker 1: know which one I kind of like the most is
Speaker 1: I've got everybody's autograph on the nineteen eighty Olympic hockey
Speaker 1: team on a picture, you know, the picture of them
Speaker 1: going crazy at the end of the game, and I
Speaker 1: always wanted to put it. I need to get out
Speaker 1: to do a thing where you know, the call of
Speaker 1: the game and just push a button to walk by
Speaker 1: the picture and push a button. Do you believe in miracle?
Speaker 1: How does Tom Brady incorporate Antonio Brown or Bruce Arians
Speaker 1: do this on such short notice. I think he's a
Speaker 1: perfect fit for this team right now. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming Antonio Brown is still Antonio Brown. Okay, I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. So I'm just gonna talk
Speaker 1: football for a minute, because the one thing in watching
Speaker 1: the tape here of Tampa is that they really miss
Speaker 1: having that inside threat. You know how many times have
Speaker 1: we seen Tom Brady with James White or whatever, just
Speaker 1: one on one you go up on the linebacker, you
Speaker 1: make a break to the left, you make a break
Speaker 1: to the right, get him the ball, beautifully accurate throwne pass.
Speaker 1: And they really don't have that right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not Ronald Jones's game, it's not Leonard Fournette's game.
Speaker 1: Coming out of the backfield. They're a good power running team.
Speaker 1: This is one of those old school offenses in Tampa
Speaker 1: and it's starting to come together. It looks like Tom
Speaker 1: Brady in New England. Now. I mean they don't run
Speaker 1: a ton of zone stuff. They run more power, blocking, downhill,
Speaker 1: physical and every week that I watched them. It looks
Speaker 1: a little bit better than it did the week before.
Speaker 1: Of course, the play action off of that, but now
Speaker 1: they even have Mike Evans in the slot with no
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, and even Mike Evans is starting to come
Speaker 1: down and playing in the slot. Grock is looking better
Speaker 1: than he was looking a few weeks ago. So all
Speaker 1: these pieces are coming together. I just think what they're
Speaker 1: still missing is that middle of the field threat against
Speaker 1: man and man coverage, just that quick change of direction
Speaker 1: kind of guy. And you know who's better at that
Speaker 1: than Antonio Brown, or at least he was better at
Speaker 1: that than anybody else. I also was looking at the
Speaker 1: offensive line, and I did have questions about that offensive line,
Speaker 1: but they've been together for the most part this entire season,
Speaker 1: and if you look at all the injuries to all
Speaker 1: the other offensive lines around the NFL, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: kind of remarkable that I think they've only missed a
Speaker 1: few plays together. And Brady, it feels like understands, or
Speaker 1: they understand Brady, just give me this amount of time
Speaker 1: and we're fine. Like that. That's almost like the blocking scheme.
Speaker 1: What have you seen? They're better than that. They really
Speaker 1: are because they're they're physical running the ball. Remember the
Speaker 1: old play. I bet you I've drawn up this play
Speaker 1: for Patriots games a thousand times. The guard pulls out,
Speaker 1: they have a deep play action pass, and then you
Speaker 1: hit Gronk over the middle, right. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: sort of their bread and butter. Well, they're getting back
Speaker 1: to that now, and they're getting back to that now
Speaker 1: because they can run the ball effectively. So you're starting
Speaker 1: to see these guards pulling. I'm starting to see some
Speaker 1: old counter trays from the Washington Redskin days. It's a
Speaker 1: very old school. They jumbo a lot, They'll they'll put
Speaker 1: in Joe hag Is the sixth offensive lineman. But when
Speaker 1: you start pounding the ball and running the ball with
Speaker 1: Tom Brady as your quarterback, now you get back to
Speaker 1: that play action. The guard pulls, linebacker jumps up to
Speaker 1: try and fill the gap. Here comes Gronk in behind,
Speaker 1: here comes Evans, and we have yet to see this
Speaker 1: offense complete. We have yet to see all the receivers
Speaker 1: on the field. It's been a really tough year for Gronk.
Speaker 1: He's not blocking like he used to block because he's
Speaker 1: got that bad right shoulder. He's just getting rate of
Speaker 1: turning his shoulder, trying to make blocks and do different things.
Speaker 1: But I think as you as you project this team forward,
Speaker 1: if they can get healthy again and if this offensive
Speaker 1: line stays together, I think they could be pretty darn good.
Speaker 1: But you know more about Tampa or New Orleans. A
Speaker 1: little bit more about Tampa at this point, only because
Speaker 1: we were getting ready to do Tampa in Vegas and
Speaker 1: then we got covided out of that one when Trent
Speaker 1: Brown got sick that they we didn't know if we
Speaker 1: were going to do the game, and so then they
Speaker 1: were telling Fred Gudeli, it's like, it's your guy's call.
Speaker 1: You can stay on that game, but if it gets canceled,
Speaker 1: we'll give you another game. But you might be calling
Speaker 1: Carolina from the booth in Las Vegas. I was like,
Speaker 1: what with like a day's notice, you know? And I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, that doesn't seem very smart. So then
Speaker 1: it got down to, well, were you going to move
Speaker 1: the truck right? So we're in Vegas, so yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: take the we'll take the game in New England that
Speaker 1: I think it was San Francisco that week, but we
Speaker 1: couldn't get the truck there, so then it ended up
Speaker 1: the next closest place was Arizona. Seattle at Arizona ended
Speaker 1: up being a fantastic game, So once again the luck
Speaker 1: of the Irish came through. He's Chris Collinsworth. He'll be
Speaker 1: on the call Sunday Night Football and of course majority
Speaker 1: owner Pro Football Focus, the Chris Collinsworth Podcast. Would you
Speaker 1: trade for a veteran this time of the year If
Speaker 1: you were Green Bay and let's say you could get
Speaker 1: stuff on Gilmore and it was going to cost you
Speaker 1: a first underdraft pick, No, I wouldn't take step On
Speaker 1: because the reason they're trading him, I think is that
Speaker 1: he got hurt. You know, he had something with his
Speaker 1: knee or whatever. The old buyer beware right this time
Speaker 1: of year, you have to know why is that guy
Speaker 1: up on the trading block and too well? And the
Speaker 1: one thing you know about Belichick is that he will
Speaker 1: trade them a year or two early. So if you're
Speaker 1: right on the brink and you think you're one player away,
Speaker 1: maybe I wouldn't mind doing that deal with Belichick because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of gms and coaches out there. They
Speaker 1: don't have the ten year plan anymore. Right they're on
Speaker 1: the brink of losing their jobs. And I always thought
Speaker 1: that was one of the weaknesses of the design of
Speaker 1: having gms and coaches make all the decisions about the organization,
Speaker 1: is when these guys start getting on the bubble or
Speaker 1: start struggling. Well, of course I'm gonna trade tomorrow's draft
Speaker 1: choices for today because I got to keep my job
Speaker 1: first and foremost. So you always have to watch that
Speaker 1: a little bit as well as some of these deals
Speaker 1: come down. What about JJ one? Does he have value
Speaker 1: in the open market? Of course? Yeah, of course. Well
Speaker 1: how about a first round draft pick for JJ one?
Speaker 1: If you're like, throw out it, you know, anybody who
Speaker 1: needs help like Green Bay, can't stop the run like
Speaker 1: would green Bay, and you give a late first round
Speaker 1: draft pick for JJ one. That's a really interesting question.
Speaker 1: I think the ordinary thought would be no, just because
Speaker 1: he's a little older and has the history of injuries.
Speaker 1: Second round pick. Possibly if you thought you were really,
Speaker 1: really right there on the brink of something, you know,
Speaker 1: I listen, I played until I was thirty, and it
Speaker 1: felt like I got the twenty nine and I was
Speaker 1: feeling good. I'm still going out dancing and having fun
Speaker 1: in the clubs. And doing all that, I got the
Speaker 1: thirty and I became an old man. Everything fell apart
Speaker 1: on it, everything, I don't know what it was. Now,
Speaker 1: these guys probably know how to train and take care
Speaker 1: of their bodies better than I did. Wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: they were dancing in the club. Well, yeah, I had
Speaker 1: my Yeah, my fiance was with me at that time.
Speaker 1: You want to be that special big with it, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's how we used to get loose. Man.
Speaker 1: But after a game, I swear after a game this
Speaker 1: we did it all the time, you know, because you
Speaker 1: get to lack of acid, you get you know, you
Speaker 1: go from man, I feel great leaving the stadium, let's
Speaker 1: go out, We're gonna go partying. And then you go
Speaker 1: sit on the couch and I used to watch, you know,
Speaker 1: you guys do your highlights and do all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. And then you get up an hour later
Speaker 1: and you can't move right. You're like a you know,
Speaker 1: you feel like that. So then what do you do.
Speaker 1: You go out and you have a cocktail, you start
Speaker 1: dancing a little bit, and everything gets loose again. You
Speaker 1: do you hold a grudge against anybody you played against,
Speaker 1: hold a grudge against anybody I played again. The only
Speaker 1: the only guy who really drove me crazy but cheap shots.
Speaker 1: Did anybody take a shot that you just never let
Speaker 1: go of that? Frank Mendichfield called his shot on me
Speaker 1: and said he was so. I had a big game
Speaker 1: against Cleveland. I had about one hundred and fifty yards
Speaker 1: the first game we played him. Frank Minifield said he
Speaker 1: was gonna knock me out of the second game in
Speaker 1: the newspaper. Right in the newspaper say he's gonna knock
Speaker 1: me out. I'm like, oh, okay, I said, I'm from
Speaker 1: the first play, I'm going down and taking a fifteen
Speaker 1: yard penalty. I am shopping this guy's legs. I'm clipping him.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll up, I'm gonna take his ankle in
Speaker 1: my hands. I'm gonna try and snap it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do anything I can to kill this guy. I come
Speaker 1: back and get the line of scrimmage and Boomer audibles
Speaker 1: to a quick screen to me, like a wide receiver
Speaker 1: screen to me out there. I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna get your ass next time. You got
Speaker 1: one playoff here. So I come up and he throws
Speaker 1: this quick screen and it's the last thing I remembers,
Speaker 1: the last thing I remember. Minnifield comes out and I
Speaker 1: don't know what he hits me with. I remember in
Speaker 1: wrestling he has a foreign object. I think he got
Speaker 1: a foreign object. And I'm out. I am out, and
Speaker 1: so I'm sitting there and so they finally like wake
Speaker 1: me up, and I get up, and I can remember
Speaker 1: running off the field and I got to the bench
Speaker 1: and I'm standing over and I'm on the bench and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I kind of come to whatever.
Speaker 1: I knew this was the first play of the game.
Speaker 1: And I come to and I look up at the
Speaker 1: scoreboard and it was like thirteen twenty whatever, and I go,
Speaker 1: oh good, go go good. I didn't miss anything. Second quarter,
Speaker 1: so I stand up and I fall down. Apparently I
Speaker 1: had fallen back over my ankle and my knee. So
Speaker 1: I'm completely gone. I don't know what quarter it is.
Speaker 1: I can't walk, and I still want to go get
Speaker 1: after Frank metaform task because he said he was going
Speaker 1: to hurt me, which he did, so yes, I do
Speaker 1: hold a drudge about that. It was his number thirty seven?
Speaker 1: What was his number, maybe thirty one? I think that
Speaker 1: might be it. Thirty one good players. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: but you never did he Was it a cheap shot
Speaker 1: when you saw it? Or was it just a great
Speaker 1: tackle by him? It was a foreign object. I'm totally
Speaker 1: convinced he's not that tough a guy. I'm saying him
Speaker 1: one hundred times since I tell him, you're not that
Speaker 1: tough a guy. Why did you have in your hand?
Speaker 1: They picked up one of the batteries, you know whatever
Speaker 1: they were throwing at something in there. Uh, you got
Speaker 1: a good handle on the Steelers. Um, yeah, I watched
Speaker 1: a good bit of that. I you know what impressed
Speaker 1: me most about the Steelers is that they had that
Speaker 1: game against Tennessee. And I don't know if you watched
Speaker 1: that one or not, but that was a blood bath.
Speaker 1: I mean they were trying to kill each other out there, right,
Speaker 1: so much so that we came back and on their
Speaker 1: PFF show they had to be picking the games and all,
Speaker 1: so I said, I tell you what, I am not
Speaker 1: picking either the steel or Tennessee. The week after this game.
Speaker 1: Teams simply cannot put together back to back physical games
Speaker 1: like what that game was. And I was right about Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Tennessee came back and they got beat by Cincinnati. Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: goes into Baltimore and it's, if anything, bloodier than the
Speaker 1: one that they had in Tennessee and just went toe
Speaker 1: to toe for the entire four quarters. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you how impressed I am with the Pittsburgh Steelers putting
Speaker 1: two of those games back to back together to stay undefeated.
Speaker 1: And they're not even close shit on their offense. I mean,
Speaker 1: I still think offensively they're going to get better, and
Speaker 1: if they do, with the way they're playing defense right now,
Speaker 1: they're going to be tough. But also I remember that
Speaker 1: Betters would tell me whoever played Seattle the week after
Speaker 1: they played Seattle always bet against that team when they
Speaker 1: faced the Legion of Boom that they I like that,
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, they were gonna get beat up. I like that.
Speaker 1: You know, Richard Sherman's on the podcast that I do.
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to even do it. I wasn't even
Speaker 1: gonna do a podcast, and they said so he said, well,
Speaker 1: I can get your Richard Sherman as a guest, and
Speaker 1: I is my way of getting out of the podcast.
Speaker 1: I said, you get me Richard Sherman every week to
Speaker 1: do the podcasts. I'll do one. They got Richard Sherman's
Speaker 1: I'm doing a podcast every week. I don't know how,
Speaker 1: but he is truly one of the most interesting guys
Speaker 1: to talk to weekend and week out. He's not afraid.
Speaker 1: He talks about whatever he wants to talk about. It's
Speaker 1: really been fun. Yeah, I saw that you were doing
Speaker 1: that along with Pro Football Focus and then Football Night
Speaker 1: in America. You're busy. My life sucks. It's fantastic. They're
Speaker 1: gun now. It's great. I mean, I'm really you know,
Speaker 1: what if you're if you're gonna watch football day, the
Speaker 1: idea of talking about football isn't that bad a job, right?
Speaker 1: I mean it's actually I'm taking a break right now
Speaker 1: from my film study to come in here and talk.
Speaker 1: So I was thrilled to get a chance to take
Speaker 1: a break and come see Bobby Knight. But are you
Speaker 1: okay with being criticized. I'm criticized all the time, I know,
Speaker 1: but birth it's still not easy. You know, you can
Speaker 1: read Chris you're great, and then there's one guy saying
Speaker 1: whatever and that you know, one out of ten will
Speaker 1: stay with you. Every every single week I say something
Speaker 1: that somebody considers to be the dumbest thing they ever
Speaker 1: heard in their life. Every week, I mean, do I go,
Speaker 1: do I go looking for it? I don't. Generally my
Speaker 1: kids send it to me, right, they cannot wait for
Speaker 1: whatever I screw up. I've got one. I had one.
Speaker 1: I can't even say it because it's like, it's like
Speaker 1: so foul right that I can't even I would feel
Speaker 1: uncomfortable saying it. But it's also hilarious because it was
Speaker 1: totally innocent on my part. And by the time that
Speaker 1: I got home, my kids had made a video of
Speaker 1: what I said and put it on a loop and
Speaker 1: it just like just ran all. I'm like, oh, please, Megan,
Speaker 1: stop please, And you have no idea. I mean half
Speaker 1: the time I leave the stadium, I have absolutely no
Speaker 1: idea what stupid thing I've said this week? And then
Speaker 1: you go on like social media and you look at
Speaker 1: it like you know, you cover your eyes and you
Speaker 1: start flipping because you don't know what it is. You
Speaker 1: don't know what it is that you did this week,
Speaker 1: but everywhere you did something good. To visit with you.
Speaker 1: My best to Holly and uh, We'll be watching Sunday night.

Speaker 1: The IT Team with an explosive report. If you were
Speaker 1: watching on Peacock during the commercial break, Paulie is going
Speaker 1: to recap an IT Team report. And now we go
Speaker 1: to the newsroom for an I Team investigation. The motto
Speaker 1: of our news team is we don't break news. We
Speaker 1: sprain it. Let's go to the newsroom, Paul, Dan, We're
Speaker 1: all aware there's a very famous female chef named Giada
Speaker 1: de Laurentis. She's on Cooking Channel. Gada very famous, world famous,
Speaker 1: well known, very talented, very smart, very easy on the eyes.
Speaker 1: She posted yesterday on social media and she's got a
Speaker 1: couple of million followers. From Giada de Lorentzis, quote curious
Speaker 1: what kind of recipes and tips do you want to
Speaker 1: see for Thanksgiving? This year? Men used for smaller gatherings,
Speaker 1: question mark easier. She's asking her fan base to respond,
Speaker 1: and now you would think people who are foodies would respond,
Speaker 1: people who cook meals? No, no, no. Dan Todd Fritz
Speaker 1: responded to Giadda de Larentis and said, quote, would love
Speaker 1: your unique recipe, advice for a delicious green being cast role,
Speaker 1: and how to make a great unique stuffing. My mother
Speaker 1: in law makes very good cast roll, but curious how
Speaker 1: you do it. Thank you, Giada from Todd Fritz of
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show. And if this was a male chef,
Speaker 1: you would not have reached out correctly. Okay, I do
Speaker 1: have a little crush on Giadda, but that's besides of
Speaker 1: what I do want to know how to mix the group.
Speaker 1: Has Gianda reached out to you? Does not? Just yet,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be insulted because I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: her like a three day window. What Thanksgiving still a
Speaker 1: few weeks away. What if Gianna reaches out and gives
Speaker 1: you a step by step great casserole green being canceroll
Speaker 1: with a great unique stuffing you don't cook. I would
Speaker 1: print it out, a hand it to my wife and
Speaker 1: say can I pick up a couple of the ingredients
Speaker 1: while you If Gianna does not respond to you, I
Speaker 1: want you to make us a great green being casserole
Speaker 1: with a unique stuffing. There's a very good chest She's
Speaker 1: probably not gonna respond to me personally, and then even
Speaker 1: if she does, it'll probably be the assistant to the
Speaker 1: assistant to the intern to the assistant. So this was
Speaker 1: your opening to flirt with Gianna. You do? Do you not? There?
Speaker 1: She was asking a question. But wait, she's not being phony.
Speaker 1: She genuinely wants her followers and people that like her
Speaker 1: to ask her questions. I asked her question to people
Speaker 1: who cook might reach out to her. You just said
Speaker 1: your mother in law makes a great version of this dish. Right,
Speaker 1: because I didn't want her to take it the wrong
Speaker 1: way that I was like being poetry. You just have
Speaker 1: your mother in law make the dish. She does and
Speaker 1: she will, but if Jadika might maybe makes a super
Speaker 1: fantastic one. Just when I thought that this was the
Speaker 1: be all end all that my mother in law makes,
Speaker 1: Giada's would probably at least match that, were you flirting
Speaker 1: with her. I don't know if flirting was the word,
Speaker 1: because I did say mother in lawnch means I'm married
Speaker 1: and I'm taking it. But I am curious if she
Speaker 1: would respond. You could tell she must have been terribly
Speaker 1: disappointed to hear that you were taken and not available.
Speaker 1: Let's put it this way. Have I checked many many
Speaker 1: times on my phone to see if she's responded. How
Speaker 1: do you get to the point where you find out
Speaker 1: that Giada is open to suggestions about I follow on
Speaker 1: Twitter and it popped up between something from Albert Breer
Speaker 1: and something for the Broncos, and I'm like, well, you've
Speaker 1: asking you a question. You know I'm gonna answer this question.
Speaker 1: See what happens. But your mother in law makes this dish,
Speaker 1: she makes a very good one, and she's coming up
Speaker 1: in a few weeks god less. I we're looking forward
Speaker 1: to the green Bean Castle, but I wanted to I
Speaker 1: still want to say if Giada will respond with with
Speaker 1: her ideas for Thanksgiving treats. Well, Katy Perry did tweet
Speaker 1: to the show a couple of years ago. It's possible.
Speaker 1: It has to be your attitude in life. Yes, uh, yes,
Speaker 1: it's the last time she's ever recognized us by the
Speaker 1: way the show exists. Yeah, it's okay, take the one
Speaker 1: time it was it one and done, a one timer. Yes.
Speaker 1: Does the I team have full green light to reach
Speaker 1: out to Giades? Thank you? Yes, as if we were
Speaker 1: hadn't already, Yes, yes, of course. If you want to
Speaker 1: see something very entertaining. Who Todd Fritz follows on social
Speaker 1: Media's fine, Well, I'd rather know it'll be like a
Speaker 1: Pete family and then eighteen local weathercaster women. Well, nobody
Speaker 1: knows local news like Todd does. He doesn't know the
Speaker 1: local news. He knows those who deliver the local news.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Jen Birnstead and Rachel Frank and Kenne
Speaker 1: Melee NBC thirty. I'm not shy about it. My wife
Speaker 1: knows about I make comments, which is inappropriate and shows
Speaker 1: my being instituted secure. Todd watches the local news with
Speaker 1: the sound down. I do. I have the pictures with
Speaker 1: the weather. I could see the cloud with the rain
Speaker 1: coming down. I don't need to hear her say a
Speaker 1: chance of rain tomorrow. I see it on the five
Speaker 1: Day Forecare. Yeah. That's a great IT team report, Paulie,
Speaker 1: well done. Sports Emmy here a week up. Thinks I'll
Speaker 1: respond by Friday noon. I'm gonna get it so Friday
Speaker 1: and then I'll feel like she's blow Oh
