Speaker 1: d P. Show operator Marvin standing by if you'd like
Speaker 1: to email her tweet you're welcome and Mario will gather
Speaker 1: all of those seton Pauli, Fritzie mclove and yours truly
Speaker 1: sacod morning to our radio partners and of course the
Speaker 1: great Fox Sports Radio lineup, and our friend at Peacock.
Speaker 1: That's well friends, there's plural. Peacock is singular, but our
Speaker 1: friends at Peacock are plural, and they carry this show
Speaker 1: all three hours and it's free. You can download the
Speaker 1: app and watch along with us. If you've ever been
Speaker 1: curious what we look like. Of course, with these great voices,
Speaker 1: we must look really, really good, and you have that
Speaker 1: opportunity to dispel that by tuning into Peacock. All right,
Speaker 1: um mccleven as a poll question or two coming up? Yes,
Speaker 1: PAULI says my poll question options are mean. And that's
Speaker 1: from PAULI. Wow. Yeah, Paul's saying that. That's okay. Why
Speaker 1: did why did we lean mean? On Wednesday before Thanksgiving? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Andrew does this. He likes to poke the bear a
Speaker 1: little bit. And if you look at Andrew's first poll question, well,
Speaker 1: I'll let him unveil. It's a shot at the Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: Day NFL schedule. I think it's the NFL day schedules.
Speaker 1: Why you want to lean negative today? It's just these
Speaker 1: six teams kind of feel except for Steelers feel negative. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: you can only watch one. Okay, Texans Lions the early
Speaker 1: game twelve thirty, Cowboys Washington Football team at four thirty,
Speaker 1: and then Ravens Steelers at night with the caveat you
Speaker 1: have a lot of turkey and trip to fed You're
Speaker 1: gonna be a little tired for that raven Steelers game.
Speaker 1: Or do the Ravens have enough players to play? Because
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport tweeted out that while the Ravens deal with
Speaker 1: positive COVID nineteen tests for some staff members in players.
Speaker 1: One option might be for the team to fly out
Speaker 1: day of on Thursday, a short flight a night game.
Speaker 1: Not ideal, but not unprecedented either. At what point does
Speaker 1: the NFL say, and I don't think they will, because
Speaker 1: it feels like the NFL is a lot like Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball. We don't care what happens during the regular season.
Speaker 1: Let's just get to the postseason. And that's the feeling.
Speaker 1: Here's a primetime Thursday night NBC, and it feels like
Speaker 1: we got to have the Ravens in the Steelers here
Speaker 1: because this will be a big number. The Steelers are undefeated.
Speaker 1: Here's their rivals in the AFC North. But we've had
Speaker 1: games postponed, moved for less positive tests here and the
Speaker 1: Ravens are the artists formerly known as their shell of
Speaker 1: what they were last year, and that's dealing with injuries performance.
Speaker 1: But now with COVID, Yeah, I'm a club. You know
Speaker 1: there's this plan and you broke it earlier. And then
Speaker 1: it came out from the NFL that they could put
Speaker 1: an extra weekend and they go to eighteens. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: if Tom Brady's sitting at the number eight seed. I
Speaker 1: bet today enact that plan or whatever it is. They're
Speaker 1: like the college football play they're gonna get What if
Speaker 1: Cam Newton or I think Cam's a little too far away,
Speaker 1: but what if like a superstar quarterback can get it?
Speaker 1: Why not add a week so you can delay a
Speaker 1: game like this? I don't know. I don't want to
Speaker 1: say the NFL would be up to something nefarious here.
Speaker 1: College football, yes, but the NFL not quite. It feels
Speaker 1: like it's on merit a little bit more. It's not
Speaker 1: the eye test. But we'll dive into that topic coming up. First,
Speaker 1: college football rankings came out last night, and this year
Speaker 1: they say they're relying on the eye test and even
Speaker 1: more than usual. And I was told this when the
Speaker 1: Big Ten came back. Ohio State was hoping they could
Speaker 1: get just enough games to pass the eye test. So far,
Speaker 1: they played four games. I don't think they've distinguished themselves.
Speaker 1: They haven't really beaten anybody. They survived Indiana, but they're
Speaker 1: passing the eye test. Go figure, No, this is just
Speaker 1: the history of Ohio State football that's passing the history
Speaker 1: of Ohio State football. Test here there aren't enough games
Speaker 1: to judge everybody, at least your body of work, because
Speaker 1: undefeated teams that doesn't matter. Right now, We've got quite
Speaker 1: a few undefeated teams. BYU was fourteen despite having nine wins.
Speaker 1: They got a dark horse Heisman candidate in Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1: They got a really balanced attack there. And now you
Speaker 1: can say, well, they haven't played anybody. They are quite
Speaker 1: a few teams that haven't played anybody, or they've played
Speaker 1: teams and they haven't looked great, but they've got the wins.
Speaker 1: You can discount the Cougar schedule, I guess, but I
Speaker 1: can't blame them for being a little bit upset because
Speaker 1: they also get taken out of the New Year's Day
Speaker 1: Bowl games where you know those are. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of money at stake there. The Cougar got one more
Speaker 1: game left to prove their case unless they can find
Speaker 1: another team to play, and they were almost going to
Speaker 1: be playing Washington, and I think what happened with that.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get this with another source, but I
Speaker 1: was told that BYU was willing to entertain Washington, but
Speaker 1: they wanted to see where they were in the rankings
Speaker 1: and also if Washington needed to reschedule their game because
Speaker 1: Utah and Arizona state that guy canceled, Washington was able
Speaker 1: to play Utah coming up this weekend. That would supersede
Speaker 1: anything that Washington was allowed to do outside of the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve that they had to be committed to a
Speaker 1: Pac twelve opponent if they could schedule one. Whether it's
Speaker 1: true that BYU said, hey, we want to wait and
Speaker 1: see where we're ranked. I don't know why that would matter,
Speaker 1: because if you're ninth or eighth, you still want to
Speaker 1: be able to play a quality opponent, because as it
Speaker 1: is now, you don't even at nine or eight. Since
Speaker 1: Natty may have an outside shot, But I get the
Speaker 1: feeling if the committee could take Georgia with two losses,
Speaker 1: they'll take Georgia or Texas A and M put them
Speaker 1: in there. Florida is going to be in the mix
Speaker 1: as well. But this is entertainment. I know. We love
Speaker 1: to say it's based on merit. The College Football Playoff
Speaker 1: Committee is looking at entertainment here. Notre Dame absolutely, Clemson absolutely,
Speaker 1: Alabama absolutely, and then Ohio State safer picks. No blowouts,
Speaker 1: that's what you want. Now. Had we had an eighteen
Speaker 1: playoff this year, how much more interesting would this be
Speaker 1: at least just to start out, It would be very
Speaker 1: interesting just to see BYU or Cincinnati get a chance here,
Speaker 1: Northwestern to get a chance here. All you want is
Speaker 1: to get a chance. In all other college sports, the
Speaker 1: underdog gets a chance, not in college football. BYU is
Speaker 1: not in the conversation right now and doesn't appear that
Speaker 1: they can do anything about it. I understand they're a
Speaker 1: little frosted here, but if I'm BYU, I do what
Speaker 1: Boise State did years ago. Remember when Boise State would
Speaker 1: get slighted, they were a sympathetic figure, and we always
Speaker 1: like we sort of went out of our way to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Boise State, and then you propped
Speaker 1: him up the following season. Then they shocked Oklahoma and
Speaker 1: the Fiesta Bowl, and all of a sudden BYU got
Speaker 1: up there with everybody else, at least for a little while.
Speaker 1: BYU is set up for next year. I don't know
Speaker 1: if Zach Wilson's going to come out and go to
Speaker 1: the NFL, but if he does come back, now it
Speaker 1: feels like you'll at least have a little bit more
Speaker 1: sympathy for what they were able to do. You're trying
Speaker 1: to play who who's ever on your schedule, you try
Speaker 1: to play, and then when they fall off your schedule,
Speaker 1: you're searching for somebody who wants to play us. It's
Speaker 1: not like byu schedule was lame to start the season.
Speaker 1: I don't believe. Yeah, it was brutal astart the season.
Speaker 1: They had six big conference games, one of the toughest
Speaker 1: schedules in the country. Yeah, so it's not their fault.
Speaker 1: They're trying their best, and then it felt like it
Speaker 1: was held against them that they didn't play anybody. I
Speaker 1: think Cincinnati can play with anybody in the country. I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can beat Alabama, Clemson or Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: I believe that they can play now if you watch games.
Speaker 1: I watched two complete games with Cincinnati. They can play.
Speaker 1: They're good both sides of the ball. But they're not
Speaker 1: going to get that opportunity here. And it used to
Speaker 1: be a lot of these teams wouldn't play somebody because
Speaker 1: it was only going to benefit that team if they
Speaker 1: somehow pulled off the upset, and you always have to
Speaker 1: go to their place. It's rarely a home and home,
Speaker 1: so these teams don't get that opportunity to schedule somebody
Speaker 1: because it'll be well, who'd your face? Oh Hio State,
Speaker 1: they haven't played anybody, and they barely beat Indiana at home,
Speaker 1: so how did they pass the eye test? We assume
Speaker 1: Ohio States one of the top four teams in the country,
Speaker 1: but if you haven't passed the like what is the
Speaker 1: eye test you passed? You didn't beat anybody. And that's
Speaker 1: the confusing part of this for me. It feels like
Speaker 1: we change the rules in accordance to or the criteria
Speaker 1: depending on the school. Clemson, great, no problem in there.
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Alabama. You want to put Ohio State in there,
Speaker 1: that's fine. But I don't think you can discount these
Speaker 1: other teams, these other schools by saying, well, they didn't
Speaker 1: really pass the eye test, when you're using that same
Speaker 1: criteria with Ohio State because they haven't passed the eye
Speaker 1: test either. Eight seven seven three d P show emil
Speaker 1: address DPA, dan Patrick dot com. Yes, Polly, I have
Speaker 1: an idea. Let's say everyone gets the big wigs make
Speaker 1: the top football game, you know, the final four. Since
Speaker 1: the Bearcats BYU Marshall Football and Coastal Carolina, the Chantecleers
Speaker 1: all go undefeated. They have their own four team playoffs.
Speaker 1: Four undefeated teams do it, you know, two game playoffs
Speaker 1: and they just declare themselves whatever they want to declare themselves.
Speaker 1: Find a sponsor, find a network, have some fun with it.
Speaker 1: But here's the problem with it. College football moves at
Speaker 1: a snail's pace, like they can't get anything organized. This
Speaker 1: might be the year. It's different because we're altering. We're
Speaker 1: adding people midweek. We didn't know if BYU or Washington
Speaker 1: were playing twenty four hours ago. This is the year
Speaker 1: we should have added the four more playoff teams. That
Speaker 1: that would have been seismic if they would have done that.
Speaker 1: What happens if USC goes undefeated? Do they get the
Speaker 1: benefit of the eye test? If? What if Oregon goes undefeated?
Speaker 1: But the Pac twelve is so far behind, I don't
Speaker 1: know how many games you have to play to qualify
Speaker 1: for the eye tests. There ye test is not helping USC,
Speaker 1: by the way, like they're they're two luckiest wins of
Speaker 1: the year. Day won. But the eye test is all
Speaker 1: about margin of victory. That's what you mean when you
Speaker 1: say I test, you mean did you kill people? Yes,
Speaker 1: it's ton Do you want to play for a conjured
Speaker 1: up football and it though, if they're not going to
Speaker 1: let you in and make it an eighteam deal, do
Speaker 1: you really want to force that and be part of
Speaker 1: some kind of alternate league. Almost Well, if you're able
Speaker 1: to continue to play and you somehow emerge from you know,
Speaker 1: a final four, how would you call it the next
Speaker 1: final four? Because you're not going to be in the
Speaker 1: final four? Be the next final four and you wanted
Speaker 1: to get those teams together and you wanted to play,
Speaker 1: you end up twelve or thirteen to No. Yeah, mcclen,
Speaker 1: there's no way b YU wants to be placed with
Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina, by the way, they want to be considered
Speaker 1: like a PAC twelve level team. Hey, let's play with
Speaker 1: nice little the shadow clear? Is it not happening? No,
Speaker 1: it's not, But Paulie loves the dream. Shanta clears. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: oh that's right. Pauli's been correcting us. Yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: the Shanta Clau Paul ran college football. There'd be a
Speaker 1: MA the MAC. The winner of the MAC would be
Speaker 1: a champions I could fix us in twelve minutes with
Speaker 1: a piece of paper and a pen. How about my
Speaker 1: Ken State Flashers. They're undefeated, Buffalo is undefeated. Western Michigan's undefeated. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do. I love the Broncos. All right, what other
Speaker 1: poll questions are we going with? There? By the way,
Speaker 1: Fritzie has his Thanksgiving names, I don't know when did
Speaker 1: you put that in the Rundown polling for the fifteenth
Speaker 1: straight year of not I'm a traditionalist, but I take
Speaker 1: that as a hint. This, Okay, how about next down?
Speaker 1: Because I got Barkley coming up in a couple of minutes,
Speaker 1: and I want to give this some breathing room. I
Speaker 1: want to I want to have it a standalone segment
Speaker 1: there because this is really really important for people to
Speaker 1: have a great Thanksgiving holiday. Really no no for them
Speaker 1: to find something else to do. It's going to be
Speaker 1: a standalone where I tell them, you know, maybe they
Speaker 1: listen to Lebotard or somebody else that's just mean Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, listen for five or six minutes the
Speaker 1: Lebotard and then you could come back. This program brought
Speaker 1: to you by built Bar eighteen amazing flavors, Mint, Brownie, Coconut, Almond,
Speaker 1: Some of our favorites. Go to builtbar dot com. Use
Speaker 1: the promo codp for twenty percent off your purchase. What else? McLevin? Okay,
Speaker 1: I have another. You can only watch one, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna save it involving some special sporting events for later
Speaker 1: this weekend. But which top four team will not make
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff? Alabama one, Notre Dame is to
Speaker 1: Clemson's three Ohio States four. Just without even breaking down schedules,
Speaker 1: eyeball tests, who's the one who's in danger. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say Notre Dame. If Alabama beach Florida, if Clemson beach
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Ohio State continues to win. The question is
Speaker 1: who would slip in? Because if you said I can
Speaker 1: have A and M Georgia or Notre Dame, I'm taking
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. If I'm the College Football Playoff committee. Not
Speaker 1: that they would factor in something like that, would they? Yes?
Speaker 1: And Alabama's in a position now where they could probably
Speaker 1: afford a lost to Florida in the SEC title game
Speaker 1: and still grab the fourth spot based off history, based
Speaker 1: off how good of a program they are, they could
Speaker 1: lose and stay in. I saw this interesting stunt last
Speaker 1: night's College Football Playoff Poll, the thirty eighth poll released
Speaker 1: by the committee. In the playoff era, Alabama has been
Speaker 1: number one in exactly half of them. Stat of the day,
Speaker 1: stat of the day, that beast stat of the day.
Speaker 1: Stat of the day. Dude, comes that? What stat of
Speaker 1: the day? Clemson second on that list with eight weeks
Speaker 1: at number one, and then LSU, Mississippi State, Ohio State,
Speaker 1: and Georgia. Correct. Yeah, well, I like Mississippi State was
Speaker 1: number one in the college Football playoff rankings three times.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott year is that when that happened? I'm guessing
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and the boys. I don't remember them. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think remember Dak Prescott went undefeated
Speaker 1: for a while. That must be when it happened. No, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so we'll come up with a poll question here.
Speaker 1: Your phone calls are always welcome. Charles Barkley will join us.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers a little bit later on. Uh, what else
Speaker 1: do we have here? Oh? In honor of the Matt
Speaker 1: Holidays and uh the Tim mccarver's Oh no, no, no, yes,

Speaker 1: Tod I do Okay, do you want to read this

Speaker 1: probably didn't know this. I forgot all about it. And
Speaker 1: then Paulie goes, hey, Barkley is going to be playing
Speaker 1: golf on Friday, and I go so because, no, he's
Speaker 1: playing with Phil and Steph and Peyton Manning and it's TV,
Speaker 1: and I went, well, let's get Charles done. Charles joins us.
Speaker 1: Now where are you right now in Arizona, my brother.
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to hit at for a practice round
Speaker 1: with the great field Mickles. Okay, so it's you and
Speaker 1: Phil against Peyton and Staff. Yes, okay, and the stakes.
Speaker 1: Now there's side bets on this. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: side bets. But we've already raised a lot of money.
Speaker 1: But we all picked a historically black college, and we've
Speaker 1: already I think they told me they've already raised six
Speaker 1: million dollars. We're gonna have raised a lot of money
Speaker 1: for starkly black colleges. Okay. TNT will broadcast the event.
Speaker 1: It starts at three eastern on Friday. How's your game?
Speaker 1: By the way, I feel very good about my game.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie Dan, and I'll tell you the
Speaker 1: truth if I don't play great well. If I don't
Speaker 1: play well, I'll be devastated because I've been practiced from
Speaker 1: four or five hours every day. I feel really good.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. And I told her I'd be totally
Speaker 1: devastated if I don't play good. Okay, but what is good?
Speaker 1: And I tell people this that I played with you,
Speaker 1: and I think it might have been one of the
Speaker 1: best rounds, one of the last times you had a
Speaker 1: really good round. And this was in a professional event,
Speaker 1: you know, that was a celebrity event. And you shot
Speaker 1: at seventy nine in Dayton, Ohio. And people go, and
Speaker 1: what did he end up with? Like you shot seventy
Speaker 1: nine through fifteen holes or something. I said, No, Charles
Speaker 1: shot seventy nine that day. What are you shooting now? Well,
Speaker 1: I haven't been worried about my score. I'm worried about
Speaker 1: hitting good shots because you know clearly I got mentally
Speaker 1: paralyzed on the golf course from taking two minute lesson
Speaker 1: and thinking too much and choking on the pressure. I've
Speaker 1: tried to dial it back and don't worry about my score.
Speaker 1: Just keep hitting good shots, accept the bad shots, and
Speaker 1: try to concentrate harder or hit more good shots. So
Speaker 1: I have to be honest with you. I haven't kept
Speaker 1: score in a year, but I'm just trying to hit
Speaker 1: a bunch of good shots. But you talk about this.
Speaker 1: You got in your head and you took all these lessons,
Speaker 1: and if I put you on the first tea, you
Speaker 1: were different than you would be on the practice range. Right,
Speaker 1: Your swing was different on the practice range as opposed
Speaker 1: to when you actually went to the first team. Well, Dan,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's really interesting you phrase it like that,
Speaker 1: because I've actually played with players who were great in practice,
Speaker 1: and once the crowds got in, they froze up mentally.
Speaker 1: And that had never happened to me before, because when
Speaker 1: I played basketball, I went to a whole another gear
Speaker 1: when the crowd was there. That took it you to
Speaker 1: hold another level. But for some reason, when I got
Speaker 1: on the golf course, I just choked like a dog
Speaker 1: under pressure, playing and simple. I think now I feel
Speaker 1: a lot better. I got a lot more simplistic approach
Speaker 1: to playing golf instill. Like I said when I was
Speaker 1: breaking eighty, I was always gonna shoot the scene seventy
Speaker 1: eight and eighty four always. And I made the mistake
Speaker 1: of taking lessons from at first of all, I took
Speaker 1: lessons from the best teachers in the world, best teachers
Speaker 1: in the world. And I sometimes when I go to
Speaker 1: the first tea box, I hear all ten of them
Speaker 1: palm to be at the same time, you know, and
Speaker 1: I do. I've heard all ten. I've heard Hank, I've
Speaker 1: heard Butch. You know, I've had a bunch of local
Speaker 1: guys working with me. And now when I step on
Speaker 1: the first tea I think about the coach I'm working with. Stan.
Speaker 1: Utly right now, I said, hey, forget everything you've heard,
Speaker 1: just remember what Stan told you and just make a
Speaker 1: good swing. Who's gonna talk to the most trash on Friday?
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning h Peyton is amazing. Him and Steff have
Speaker 1: been killing me, which first of all, I deserve it.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna have a lot of fun. Man, We're
Speaker 1: gonna raise a lot of money. But like I say,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna play well. I'm going to play well.
Speaker 1: Will you ask for advice from Nicholson? Of course, especially
Speaker 1: on the pudding green h you know, and also you
Speaker 1: know when when I'm watching, when I'm watching television, you
Speaker 1: hear guys say you can't miss it there, And obviously
Speaker 1: playing with Phiel, I said, I'm gonna ask him where
Speaker 1: can I not miss the shot? And I think that's
Speaker 1: really really important when I'm there's no person watch the
Speaker 1: golf chattel more than me. You know. I told a
Speaker 1: friend of mine one time, they could put a guy
Speaker 1: on TV and not show me his name. And I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about Dustin or Justin Thomas or Brooks Kepco
Speaker 1: or Brushton Shambo. I think you can put a top
Speaker 1: between twenty and war. They in the world don't put
Speaker 1: their name up there, and I could kill you who
Speaker 1: was swinging the club. That's how much I enjoy the game.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry is pretty good and he said, oh, he's really,
Speaker 1: he's really good. He's around scratch. I'm guessing yeah, he's
Speaker 1: around scratch. And I don't know what Payton's handicap is.
Speaker 1: But it's an alternate alternate shot format. So clearly all
Speaker 1: the pressure I'm the wild card will be a good
Speaker 1: way to explain it. You know, Field's gonna hit great shots.
Speaker 1: All the pressure is gonna be on me and Payton
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, because I know Steph is
Speaker 1: gonna play great. I know Field is gonna play great,
Speaker 1: But when you're in an alternate shot format, like I'm
Speaker 1: the guy who's got under the most pressure, He's Charles Barkley,
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer TNT inside, the NBA analyst And
Speaker 1: the event will take place at Stone Canyon Golf Club.
Speaker 1: That'll be Friday at three eastern and this will benefit
Speaker 1: historically black colleges and university. Steph Curry is gonna be
Speaker 1: in there with paid Manna Phil Nicholson. Of course, Charles Parkley.
Speaker 1: Are you following the NBA off season? Yeah, of course
Speaker 1: I am. It's uh, it's been interesting. Um, I think
Speaker 1: the Lakers got better. Clearly, I tell you the team
Speaker 1: I really life they did the Portland Trail Blazers. I
Speaker 1: think they made a couple of nice additions. They got
Speaker 1: to get everybody healthy now, you know, they didn't have
Speaker 1: Rodney Hood last year. And one of my favorite players,
Speaker 1: Zach Collins, I think gonna be a stud. I love
Speaker 1: the addition of and his canter. I never understand why
Speaker 1: people trade in his counter. He's one of my favorite
Speaker 1: players in the league. And they said, you know, I
Speaker 1: remember it was just any of that. The NBA told
Speaker 1: me a few years ago. One of my favorite players
Speaker 1: is Tyson Chandler. And I'm talking, this is a you know,
Speaker 1: that's one of you Geese guys who don't know anything
Speaker 1: about basketball. You know, they call it analytics. They just
Speaker 1: wanted to hire their their son in law. That's what
Speaker 1: they did. All these owners want to hire their son
Speaker 1: in law who married their pretty daughters. These guys don't
Speaker 1: know anything about basketball. They're like, yeah, let's just shoot three.
Speaker 1: They go and we win. If we make them, we lose.
Speaker 1: This guy said to me, well, I don't like Tyson Channon.
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, Like all he does play deepens and rebounding.
Speaker 1: I said, you know, those are like the two most
Speaker 1: important parts of the game. I mean, Tyson Channon has
Speaker 1: been a great player for a long time, one of
Speaker 1: my favorite people. But it's kind of like, well, he
Speaker 1: doesn't play defense, but I said, tell you what, he
Speaker 1: can score and rebound like a mother, And you give
Speaker 1: me a guy who can score and rebound like that.
Speaker 1: He can play on my team at a time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And you know, I love what the Lakers did. I
Speaker 1: think they got better and it was interesting that the
Speaker 1: NBA is sort of I don't I don't know if
Speaker 1: they realize what the Lakers were doing when the Lakers
Speaker 1: were doing it, but you know, you pick up Shrewder
Speaker 1: Matthews like they got younger, and it just feels like
Speaker 1: Lebron is loaded and ready to go for another championship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think Alex Listen uh Schroeder is a good young
Speaker 1: He's a great bad back up. I think when he
Speaker 1: ran into trouble when he was starting in Atlanta, but
Speaker 1: you saw in Oklahoma City he's a great backup. Getting
Speaker 1: Montrez Harold is coming off the bench, Gassaw to me
Speaker 1: is a really good pickup. Don't forget West Matthews. So
Speaker 1: but listen, all that stuff is irrelevant. You got Lebron
Speaker 1: and Ad you can. Yes, you see, you can get
Speaker 1: five guys off the street, and they got guys who
Speaker 1: can really play. But like I say, I still like
Speaker 1: what the Trailblazers did. I like what the Sixers did.
Speaker 1: I like what my Phoenix Suns did. But listen, the
Speaker 1: Lakers are gonna be the clear front runna for the championship.
Speaker 1: Explain to me James Harden he didn't want to play
Speaker 1: with Chris Paul anymore, shipped him to Okloma City. He
Speaker 1: wants to play with Russell Westbrook. Now he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to stay in Houston. He wants to He turned down
Speaker 1: fifty million a year and now he wants out of Houston.
Speaker 1: They did all of this for James Harden, and now
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to stay there. So what do you
Speaker 1: do with James Harden if you're the Rockets, Well, they
Speaker 1: got they got to start over. They did that little
Speaker 1: silly thing where they put all them little munchkins out there.
Speaker 1: I thought they could work. It wasn't going to work.
Speaker 1: You know. They're like Dan, Listen, you can't put all
Speaker 1: those little guys out there and think they're going to
Speaker 1: be successful. Because you got James who's like I've said it,
Speaker 1: and people got mad when I said it. As James
Speaker 1: Harden is probably the greatest offensive player. He's not Michael
Speaker 1: or Kobe, but as forrest offers, James Harden is the
Speaker 1: greatest offensive player I've ever seen. You got Russell Westbrook,
Speaker 1: who if you don't like Russell Westbrook, you don't know
Speaker 1: anything about basketball. But they put them out there like idiots,
Speaker 1: with all those little guys, and they're just gonna try
Speaker 1: to outshoot you. And now they're no good. And both
Speaker 1: of those guys going out, they don't want to spend
Speaker 1: the last few years of their careers as a miller,
Speaker 1: the role bottom feeder. But let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: You heard of what they call it rubber necking when
Speaker 1: you see a car accident. Yeah, I listen. I want
Speaker 1: their rights if you know we you know how they
Speaker 1: do these following the team during the season. If the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Netts did James Harden, I want the rights to
Speaker 1: follow that threesome around all season. That would be so
Speaker 1: amazing and fun to watch. I think I'm telling you man,
Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna have her. Those two guys
Speaker 1: are already gonna have a really difficult time in New York.
Speaker 1: They both got dinner skin and flat Stanley, and you
Speaker 1: add James Harden to the men who wants the ball
Speaker 1: all the time. I wanted to developmental rights to the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets with James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: I just want to watch that fascinating experiment. Do you
Speaker 1: think it could work? Got zero? Cha aso working zero?
Speaker 1: You know because listen, two of the guys, two of
Speaker 1: the guys listening. There's there's only so many things you
Speaker 1: can do on a basketball court. When you're a great player.
Speaker 1: You can win the game offensively, defensively, rebounding or assisting.
Speaker 1: Two of those guys just want to score, and it's
Speaker 1: not going to work. Durant he proved that he can
Speaker 1: play some defense with the Warriors. But the other two
Speaker 1: guys are terrific offensive players, but neither one's a great defender.
Speaker 1: They're not great at passing the ball. And listen, one
Speaker 1: of the two of the other guys gonna be pissed
Speaker 1: because they're just standing around watching one of those other
Speaker 1: guys dribble. So I would love to see that experiment
Speaker 1: that would actually make um at least, while we wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to talk about Jani's not signing the Max extension,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be the number one story for the
Speaker 1: next year. I hope he signs with Milwaukee and don't
Speaker 1: be one of the front running guys. I hope he
Speaker 1: battles out like the great Michael Jordan did or the
Speaker 1: great Dirt Nabiska did, and not try to join a
Speaker 1: super team. Uh and be like just jumping on somebody's bus.
Speaker 1: Is there drinking going on tomorrow or Friday on the
Speaker 1: golf course? Oh, I doubt it. I don't know anything
Speaker 1: about those three guys. I'm probably the only one who
Speaker 1: likes to drink, but so no, I'm not gonna drink
Speaker 1: by myself. That's that that makes you a loser when
Speaker 1: you drink by yourself. I think Peyton could probably get
Speaker 1: after a little bit, you know, you know, I love
Speaker 1: you know, Peyton. I think Peyton lost my phone number. Well,
Speaker 1: Tennessee was ranking the top twenty five. He called me
Speaker 1: like every daytime. He was all excited about the Auburn game.
Speaker 1: And now that now they lost like four in a row.
Speaker 1: He lost my number when Auburn beat him down this weekend.
Speaker 1: So I just got to make sure I give him
Speaker 1: my phone number in as weekend because when Tennessee was
Speaker 1: two and o and ranked, he would blow up my
Speaker 1: phone up time. He can't wait for the Auburn game.
Speaker 1: We had been quiet for the last month since they
Speaker 1: lost four in a row. Have fun out there on Friday,
Speaker 1: Charles and tell Phil we said hello, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1: It's always happy Thanksgiving, Hey Man, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody
Speaker 1: listening to the show, and especially you and your guys.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Buddy, and so Charles Barkley. That'll be coming
Speaker 1: up Friday, Stone Canyon Golf Club that's down towards Tucson.
Speaker 1: I believe it'll be Steph Curry, it'll be Phil Nicholson,
Speaker 1: it'll be Peyton Manning and Charles Barkley. T and T
Speaker 1: will broadcast the event beginning at three Eastern. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern
Speaker 1: six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you
Speaker 1: can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or
Speaker 1: stream us live on the Peacock app. And now we
Speaker 1: go to the newsroom for an I Team investigation. The
Speaker 1: motto of our news team is own. Great news. We
Speaker 1: sprained it. Let's go to the news room. Pably. Dan
Speaker 1: Todd Fritz, who's been punishing America yearly with his Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: sports name since two thousand and two, to my recollection,
Speaker 1: was on the popular twelve fifteen podcast of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show back Room, Guys, that's blowing up? Oh I
Speaker 1: heard that there were some opinions thrown around by one
Speaker 1: Todd Fritz. Well, Todd was not being monitored by you.
Speaker 1: He was, you know, freelancing. He talked, he was unplugged.
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say about your rules. I
Speaker 1: have a number of names that I've used before, but
Speaker 1: I've added some new ones. I'm probably gonna break the
Speaker 1: rule of what Dan said about anyone that played before
Speaker 1: the year two thousand. You don't use those names. So
Speaker 1: I'll probably get a smack on the wrist and yelled at.
Speaker 1: Because the bottom line is, there's not a thousand of
Speaker 1: these names, and I can think of a clever name
Speaker 1: or someone you know that's follows the show that sends
Speaker 1: me something on social media with an idea that I
Speaker 1: think is good, and you know, I can pile the
Speaker 1: list and I can't promise you Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1: I got the gist of it. No, I know. Todd
Speaker 1: rambled for two more minutes about this. Yes, John, I've
Speaker 1: tried to obey the rules. But no, you just say
Speaker 1: you weren't. You're not trying to obey the rules. I
Speaker 1: would like to obey the rules, but sometimes but it's
Speaker 1: really easy to obey the rules. You don't have a
Speaker 1: sports name from prior to two thousand. If you would
Speaker 1: like to obey the rules, you could choose to obey
Speaker 1: the rules. But if my point is, if there's some
Speaker 1: juicy names that just happened to be not before two thousand,
Speaker 1: we've heard those before. I think for the most part
Speaker 1: they're relevant. A juicy name, sure I did. If there's
Speaker 1: a juicy name that we haven't heard yet, Dinner Role,
Speaker 1: Lynd Harper. It's just it's the same every year. And
Speaker 1: I keep saying to you, expand a little bit here.
Speaker 1: But that would require people born, you know from the
Speaker 1: two thousands. Have you doing some homework, is what it
Speaker 1: would require? Todd? Yes, mclovin. Can I jump in and
Speaker 1: help ruined the holiday for everybody? There's something happening on
Speaker 1: social media. It's becoming a thing okay, qb depth chart
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving names are now being bandied about by the DP
Speaker 1: show audience, and they're tremendous. Let's go, how did this happen?
Speaker 1: How does any of this stuff happen? I have no idea. Okay,
Speaker 1: give me, give me an example here. Someone tweeted us
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears depth chart at quarterback is Tyler Bravey,
Speaker 1: Mitcheler Bray, Mitchell True Biscuit and Nick Foliage. Todd had
Speaker 1: to actually respond that I already heard two it is,
Speaker 1: and that has led to the cults with Philip Livers,
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brisket and Jacob Eaton instead of Jacob Easton. Okay,
Speaker 1: I got I jumped in with a little help from Seaton,
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon, Merangue, Pie Gardner, Salad Minshew and Jake Cruton
Speaker 1: Luton Yes, oh yeah, you don't have to explain that one.
Speaker 1: And I got the Patriots too, yeahm Newton, Jared stid
Speaker 1: Ham Sandwich, Wait, hold on, Paul you stepped on? Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: Bryan stid Ham Sandwich and Brian Boy I'm stuffed to her,
Speaker 1: yea Todd Dumn No, McLevin, you're not done that. It's
Speaker 1: not a walk off that was actually the meanest thing
Speaker 1: Andrew has ever done, because he just crushed with that segment,
Speaker 1: and Todd's been looking fifteen Ye look at that face
Speaker 1: on Todd. You would kill to get that reaction with
Speaker 1: your names next hour, just one tenth of that. Those
Speaker 1: were very good. I should just throw this. I got
Speaker 1: the whole list here, I should just dump it. Oh
Speaker 1: and then Todd goes, hey, how many names can I mention?
Speaker 1: I go, I don't know, ten, ten, I got sixty five?
Speaker 1: And I go, yeah, ten. Why don't we start with ten?
Speaker 1: And we'll never get it in the way. I slowly
Speaker 1: say the names to make sure I punctual. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: do take forever? Do you have? Just like give me.
Speaker 1: Let's give the audi some reason to want to wait

Speaker 1: think what Andrews really stumbled on here? Or I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's Andrew with some help in the audience, audience,
Speaker 1: but somehow putting each of these names into sort of
Speaker 1: its own little category like quarterback depth charts and going
Speaker 1: team by team, it's so hilarious. That was so funny,
Speaker 1: but just sort of wildly spraying names all over the place. Uh,
Speaker 1: just doesn't seem to have the same bite for the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I mean that's really funny. Yeah, Russell Wilson Gene no
Speaker 1: visitors for Thanksgiving Smith. Yes, I think Seaton nailed it
Speaker 1: because there's more of a focus to the theme and this.
Speaker 1: You know, when when first he says jack Ham sandwich,
Speaker 1: you have to think oh yeah, he's a linebacker for
Speaker 1: the Okay, oh yeah, I remember who he is. It
Speaker 1: takes thought. Comedy shouldn't take that much thought. Like if
Speaker 1: like if Todd countered Andrew with his quarterback depth charts
Speaker 1: and he did just starting why receivers. Okay, maybe now
Speaker 1: you got something, oh like Tastam Hill Okay, okay, it's better,
Speaker 1: it's better. Yeah, and you found somebody who's playing nowadays,

Speaker 1: didn't give you a chance here. This was Okay, what's worse?
Speaker 1: Carolines or when you do this, there's only only forty
Speaker 1: or fifty people are Carolines. This is a national TV radio. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but at Carolines, I'm staring at everyone. They're staring back
Speaker 1: blank with a blank at well. The audience is staring
Speaker 1: back at you. Believe it or not what you don't
Speaker 1: know it? The audience is now left. They were staring
Speaker 1: right at you. I could hear a Seaton sipping like
Speaker 1: a ginger ale and Paulice like moving around some ice
Speaker 1: at his glass. Dan Lebotard just text me to say, hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for giving me your audience the last five minutes.
Speaker 1: It's not funny, No, it's me. Lebotard was laughing. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't appreciate that. We're supposed to keep it supposed
Speaker 1: to be levity. It's a time for family and we
Speaker 1: have to we have to tank a segment to help
Speaker 1: out Lebotard. We have Aaron Rodgers next hour and that's something. Yeah, great,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yes MC. Do you remember at Caroline's what
Speaker 1: I te the tablecloth? I forgot that you tuck the
Speaker 1: tablecloth in your ya. This is the first time I've
Speaker 1: heard That's why I thought it was my napkin and
Speaker 1: that's why everything went flying. Okay, we were in center
Speaker 1: field at Carolines. Uh. This is in midtown Manhattan, one
Speaker 1: of the great places in the country that you can
Speaker 1: do stand up comedy. And it's so dark. We're in
Speaker 1: basically center field from Todd and we're trying to be
Speaker 1: as We're trying to be as quiet as possible. It's
Speaker 1: just every everybody else in the audience was trying to
Speaker 1: be as quiet as possible. That was part of the problem.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden you heard crash, crash, crash, crash,
Speaker 1: and I go, oh my god. And mclovin had gotten up,
Speaker 1: and I thought, you just act, you know, just like
Speaker 1: tipped over the table. I didn't know you had the
Speaker 1: tablecloth in your pants. Yeah, I think I did. Um.
Speaker 1: And also you gotta remember it was like definitely silent,
Speaker 1: so like noisunded even louder. It was like in a canyon.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, canyon. You could hear us whisper. I
Speaker 1: think you could hear Ice melt that. That's how quiet
Speaker 1: it was that night at Caroline. I'm digesting over there
Speaker 1: trying to do comedy. What you could hear me? Think?
Speaker 1: I think thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

Speaker 1: He's Aaron Rodgers, the Packers quarterback, and uh, let me
Speaker 1: start with that. Let me start with the obvious question.
Speaker 1: Is Jake from State Farm all natural? I know that
Speaker 1: we we didn't get to drug tested um during that shoot.
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of a few things that
Speaker 1: you might have seen with another guy who was born
Speaker 1: in Red in the past, Tiger Woods. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: when Tiger was was in full workout mode, he may
Speaker 1: have been an XL and was wearing a large I
Speaker 1: think Jake probably maybe a large guy the T shirt
Speaker 1: size wearing a medium to medium small. It's medium, yes, medium, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you never do you wouldn't stoop as low as
Speaker 1: something like that. Uh No, I don't think so. I
Speaker 1: think you know to uh to correlate. I always enjoy
Speaker 1: like primetime games back in the day, watching our old
Speaker 1: fullback John Coon, and he had a routine with the
Speaker 1: with one of those uh you know, elastic bands that
Speaker 1: he would do a lot of biceps before, like a
Speaker 1: real nationally televised game, you know, right before the game,
Speaker 1: to make sure that his guns were as big as
Speaker 1: possible by the time he went on the field. Wait,
Speaker 1: he did a party pump before the game. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of guys do it, though, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to just single out John. There's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: in the locker room that make sure espos even it's
Speaker 1: a primetime game. You know, their arms are looking as
Speaker 1: as good as possible by the time they go out there.
Speaker 1: Are you more concerned with grooming on a primetime game
Speaker 1: than you would be a Sunday at one o'clock? Probably? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I used to be probably a little more concerned.
Speaker 1: I've let my place should ever go over the years.
Speaker 1: I'm not really cared if I'm rocking a mustache or
Speaker 1: a beard, and if the neck is shaved. Now I
Speaker 1: can't have the same type of neck beard as a guy,
Speaker 1: you know, like you Andrew Luck. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: we'll go down in history as legendary. But you might
Speaker 1: maybe take a second look at the nosehairs if it's
Speaker 1: going to be a primetime game compared to maybe at
Speaker 1: twelve o'clock at Lambeau. Well, we talked about that before,
Speaker 1: where they'd have that stupid camera angle where they'd be
Speaker 1: right up under like how close is that camera right
Speaker 1: up underneath you during the anthem? Yeah, I wouldn't ever
Speaker 1: sure what angle they were going forward that because behind
Speaker 1: us is just the press box. So I was wondering
Speaker 1: why you would have to, you know, insist on going
Speaker 1: at that angle. But it is what it is that's
Speaker 1: come to the league that we've we've grown up in.
Speaker 1: It's more access, the better for the fans. And you
Speaker 1: also have to mouth the words of the anthem if
Speaker 1: the camera's on you, don't you I've seen guys do
Speaker 1: that before. I never I never really did that. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's more of a you know, when
Speaker 1: the camera kind of gets in position, you got to
Speaker 1: make sure you have the face you want showing you.
Speaker 1: You can't look you know, weird or anything. You have
Speaker 1: to make sure that you know your game face is ready.
Speaker 1: Once that camera comes to you, that red light on
Speaker 1: your scip he's Aaron Rodgers joining us on the program.
Speaker 1: Did you watch the Monday night game? I did not.
Speaker 1: I did not. Is that normal that unless it's an
Speaker 1: opponent future opponent that not interested? No, I mean, I
Speaker 1: mister said. It just depends on my schedule and how
Speaker 1: I'm feeling. We had a longer, a longer travel to
Speaker 1: get back back, you know, playing the afternoon game against Indy.
Speaker 1: Got back about ten fifteen or so Sunday, so I
Speaker 1: try and get to bed a little earlier on Monday
Speaker 1: and just kind of relaxed during the day. So I
Speaker 1: didn't did say I watched it. I never knew this
Speaker 1: and maybe you can help me separate fact from fiction.
Speaker 1: According to league sources, Packers Raiders were very closely the
Speaker 1: deal that would have sent you to Oakland and Randy
Speaker 1: Moss to Green Bay. Instead it Moss traded to New
Speaker 1: England during two thousand and seven, and you stayed, of course,
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Is that true. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: it's true or not. I do know that during that time,
Speaker 1: I remember where I was at. I was on the
Speaker 1: twenty six in Portland, Oregon, with a friend of mine
Speaker 1: and a couple of friends of mine, longtime friends. From
Speaker 1: when I was a kid and lived up in Oregon
Speaker 1: and got a call from Ted Thompson, and Ted wanted
Speaker 1: to reassure me that nothing was what was going on,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't going anywhere. So there were definitely some
Speaker 1: rumors at the time. But doesn't that call make you
Speaker 1: nervous that there was something going on for him to
Speaker 1: call you to say, don't worry about hearing about anything.
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily dan, just because you know it was
Speaker 1: I believe it was before It wasn't six or before
Speaker 1: oh seven. It says that Moss was traded to the
Speaker 1: Patriots during the oh seven NFL Draft, and then that
Speaker 1: this was the spring of two thousand and seven or
Speaker 1: at the end of two thousand and six to two
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, so I was still a backup. So
Speaker 1: you know, okay, if I was traded, um, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't at that time. You know, probably wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been the worst thing because I was thinking wrestling to
Speaker 1: play a few more years, and if I get traded,
Speaker 1: that means I might be the guy right away. So
Speaker 1: it wasn't like the you know, when his number came up,
Speaker 1: wasn't oh man, what does this mean? It was like, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I guess we get to the bottom of this right now,
Speaker 1: because you were probably twenty four at the time, probably
Speaker 1: right just just turned twenty three. Actually okay, And um,
Speaker 1: you know you start to look at you know, when,
Speaker 1: when and how much you read or listen to anything
Speaker 1: like honestly, like if ESPN comes on, you care if
Speaker 1: they're gonna go, let's look at the Colts and the Packers,
Speaker 1: or you turn the channel. I don't really watch that channel. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's never on at the house unless
Speaker 1: unless I'm watching my night football and the sound as
Speaker 1: the sound is open, so I'm not I'm just not watching,
Speaker 1: not watching. Now I will say this is maybe if
Speaker 1: Kenny Maine is on and Kenny and I have talked, uh,
Speaker 1: and he's going to say something funny on sports er,
Speaker 1: I might switch over if he's if he's doing the
Speaker 1: late sports er. Um, so I will admit that. But
Speaker 1: because I love Kenny. But um, really, unless unless Tom
Speaker 1: here at the Packers gives me a heads up, I
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of the stuff, you know, or
Speaker 1: a friend of mine might say, he do you see
Speaker 1: what you know was written that? No? No, what should
Speaker 1: I look at it. You know, they might they might
Speaker 1: send it over. But would you rather read or hear
Speaker 1: something that was negative or something positive, like learn something
Speaker 1: that might be considered negative, or have somebody just say something,
Speaker 1: you know, verbal bouquets about you. Oh, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody needs to at this point. I don't
Speaker 1: need to pump myself up with some puff pieces and
Speaker 1: you know, spend time reading and stuff like that. And
Speaker 1: I don't care a whole lot about anything on the
Speaker 1: other side of it, really. I mean, you know, there's
Speaker 1: a job to do for those people. I've railed at
Speaker 1: times about it. I think that the you know, the
Speaker 1: shock journalism with the you know, the clickbait headlines kind
Speaker 1: of rules the especially the online media. But do you
Speaker 1: care about legacy? Yeah, of course. Do you care where
Speaker 1: you're ranked all time or how people view you as
Speaker 1: you know, on the all time list of quarterbacks? Does
Speaker 1: that interest you? Not? Really? Not at this point now,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think the airs are so different.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people maybe think about those
Speaker 1: things one more. With Lebron win another championship and trying
Speaker 1: to compare him to Michael and Michael the Wilton Kareem
Speaker 1: and Russell and you know, all the great players of
Speaker 1: all time. It's just tough to to compare generation. So
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I don't get into that a
Speaker 1: whole lot. My legacy to me is more about like
Speaker 1: what kind of player I was, what kind of teammate
Speaker 1: it was, you know, how I was the organization in
Speaker 1: the community that sucks more important. And also when you
Speaker 1: assess quarterbacks, now everybody's gonna throw for sixty seventy thousand,
Speaker 1: it feels like, whereas Joe Montana, John Elway, you know,
Speaker 1: eight I mean, it was just different back then. If
Speaker 1: you threw thirty touchdowns, you had a hell of it season.
Speaker 1: Now if you don't throw thirty, it's almost like your
Speaker 1: pedestrian here. How do you think the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: voters will be able to sort this out with quarterbacks? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it'll be interesting to see how they do it,
Speaker 1: because I felt like that for the most part, it's
Speaker 1: been fairly standard with what gets guy in now, with
Speaker 1: the longevity and guys you know, and the numbers being
Speaker 1: bigger than what they were in the eighties and nineties
Speaker 1: and two thousands when I really got into football, especially
Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties that in the defenses and
Speaker 1: the offenses are different than the game was different than
Speaker 1: the rules are slightly different. I still think that there
Speaker 1: should be a standard based on being the best of
Speaker 1: your position. You know, I'm saying top three to maybe
Speaker 1: top five for an extended amount of years. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a consistency of being one of those top
Speaker 1: really top three guys, I think at the position for
Speaker 1: multiple years in a row, for large stretches of your career.
Speaker 1: I think that should be kind of the standard. Um.
Speaker 1: I think there's places for um, you know, guys who've
Speaker 1: had amazing longevity and put up amazing numbers. But I
Speaker 1: still think it's a majority of the guys should be
Speaker 1: you know, you dominate your position, you know, one of
Speaker 1: the three to five best guys for you know, a
Speaker 1: decade or for an extended period of time. That should
Speaker 1: kind of gets you in. I don't know what is protocol,
Speaker 1: but you spent probably five minutes with Philip Rivers on Sunday,
Speaker 1: like you actually had a conversation with him. What what
Speaker 1: are you supposed to do post game? You know, what
Speaker 1: is protocol with two quarterbacks after a game? I think
Speaker 1: It just depends. It depends on how well you know
Speaker 1: the guy, or how you feel about him, or how
Speaker 1: you feel about seeing anybody after the game. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: we lost obviously a difficult one there and overtime coming
Speaker 1: back tying it, getting the ball back and turn over
Speaker 1: and losing. I just, I mean, I really like I've
Speaker 1: known him for a while here and there and known
Speaker 1: him from Afar, you know, watching him play and have
Speaker 1: a ton of respect for him, and I just you know,
Speaker 1: if the conversation's easy to stick around, and that's it was.
Speaker 1: It was good to you know, just pay my respects.
Speaker 1: And we can't ask him about his kids because then
Speaker 1: you'll be there for a half hour. He's got like
Speaker 1: nine or ten of them. Well, it's funny, I guess.
Speaker 1: I said. I said, hey, you guys working on number
Speaker 1: nine yet he said you already had them? Where have
Speaker 1: you been? Come on? Yeah? Behind? I thought I thought
Speaker 1: eight was the last one, and maybe Uh. Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: is a smart guy. He's using FedEx and he's getting
Speaker 1: his offensive lineman there holiday gifts early this year, new
Speaker 1: Tregger grills. I'men a trigger guy for years and we
Speaker 1: love the Tregger grill. We I think I have six
Speaker 1: trigger grills out in our barbecuing area. But uh, FedEx
Speaker 1: dot com slash Holiday guide, so your lineman know what
Speaker 1: you're getting him. Yeah, you know. The last couple of years,
Speaker 1: at times, there's been some gifts that maybe didn't arrive
Speaker 1: on Christmas. Uh, maybe not even until the springtime for
Speaker 1: a couple of guys. Um, it actually worked out great
Speaker 1: department with FedEx, so I could you know, shop for
Speaker 1: those things and then ship them and get him early,
Speaker 1: you know, before even Thanksgiving was for me is easily
Speaker 1: a record. Um. But I'm excited to you know, take
Speaker 1: care of those guys and uh, you know, FedEx has
Speaker 1: been a great partner and it's fun to uh want
Speaker 1: to get those guys the gifts early so they can
Speaker 1: use them for Thanksgivings. The gift better when you're better,
Speaker 1: like when you're like when you were m VP one
Speaker 1: of one of those MVP seasons, Uh, the gifts better
Speaker 1: that year. I don't, I don't. I don't think so. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think it's only been the last seven or eight
Speaker 1: years where the gifts have been really really good. Um,
Speaker 1: so how did they get you? Every now and then
Speaker 1: they might give me a ball of Scotch. Um, wait,
Speaker 1: is that what you were drinking on draft night? Scotch
Speaker 1: or tequila? I would drinking tequila. I mixed it up
Speaker 1: a little bit. I liked. I like Scotch, bourbon and
Speaker 1: some sipping tequila. The friend of mine got me on.
Speaker 1: So it was tequila that night. Did did the glass
Speaker 1: get Did you put more in it when the packers
Speaker 1: were on the clock or after the packers were off
Speaker 1: the clock? I would say after probably yeah, But I
Speaker 1: didn't to my credits, I didn't refill. Um. I started
Speaker 1: with a strong poor so I could just imagine you
Speaker 1: there that you're you know, you got tequila there and
Speaker 1: the packers and they're gonna take a wide receiver here
Speaker 1: of course we are, and the packers take Jordan Jordan Love.
Speaker 1: Did you know they were taking him prior to the pick? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: I found out just like we did about five seconds
Speaker 1: before them. We made a T shirt for you. We
Speaker 1: uh the last call with a tumbler and uh we
Speaker 1: sent it over to the facilities. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you get the T shirts that we make that we
Speaker 1: send over to the facilities there they hold them in
Speaker 1: a secret vault. So too buying the key and I
Speaker 1: don't know if they're worth that. Once again, uh well,
Speaker 1: FedEx dot Com smash Holiday guide and do what Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers did, He's doing it early with FedEx delivering his
Speaker 1: offensive Lineman Holiday gives the new triggered grills. Great to
