You know you're you're 86 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: you're an analyst, But have you given up that dream 87 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: of being a head coach or a coordinator. 88 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 7: I don't think I've given it up. I think I 89 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 7: you know, I want to be as always, I'm very 90 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 7: honest and transparent. This is I felt in the last 91 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 7: two years. It was probably the closest that calling had 92 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 7: come for me as far as the desire and the poll, 93 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 7: and probably after this past maybe four to six months, 94 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 7: that is subsided and it's probably the furthest I've been 95 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 7: away from that in a couple of years, just because 96 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 7: of the reality of where we are with our life 97 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 7: as a FA I've got you know, three seventh grade boys. 98 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 7: I've got a fourth grade girl.

We've made really good friends in town. 100 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 7: I don't have the desire to uproot that right now, 101 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 7: you know, with a with a want rather than a need, 102 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 7: you know. Unfortunate some people have to do that because 103 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 7: it's their only choice. I don't have to, and so, 104 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 7: and I really love what I'm doing right now, you know, Dan, 105 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 7: Like I think this process of going through being nominated 106 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 7: and then being a part of last night, you know, 107 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 7: it kind of I don't want to say re energize 108 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 7: this because energy is not what I need.

How does this play out? 131 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, it sounds like it's gonna get you know, it's 132 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 7: gonna get past that, it's gonna get banned. I just 133 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 7: caution everybody that there's gonna be consequences that come from 134 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 7: this that no one's really looking at. If it goes 135 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 7: back to the newest proposal, which is what Green Bay 136 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 7: has put out there, I believe language wise that no 137 00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 7: offensive player can push or pull another offensive player. We're 138 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 7: totally changing offensive football then, and this is about way 139 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 7: more than just quarterback sneak. My mind goes to all 140 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 7: of those plays that the ball carrier or whoever gets 141 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 7: hit it like the three or four yard line, and 142 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, the two are three offensive 143 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 7: linemen come in. It becomes that will push you know, 144 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 7: who's got more desire at that moment to get the 145 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 7: ball across the goal line, because that play will now 146 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 7: if the ruling gets passed, will go from a touchdown 147 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 7: to then a penalty. And just so everybody understands, defensive 148 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 7: players are caught. First guy, make the hit, wrap up, second, third, 149 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 7: fourth guy, come in, hit, punch at the ball, put 150 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 7: your helmet on the football. So now, from an offensive perspective, 151 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 7: if this rule gets passed, I hand the ball off 152 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 7: to my back and he gets hit at the four 153 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 7: yard line, no one on my team can touch him 154 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 7: from that point forward to push or pull. But the 155 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 7: defense can come in and punch at the ball and 156 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 7: rip at the ball and hit at the ball. Then 157 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 7: we're changing football offensively in a way. And we're also 158 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 7: changing some if we're being tended defenseless player situations. 159 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I still think Philadelphia is going to be extremely 160 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: successful at a quarterback sneak because of Jalen hurt. There's 161 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: nobody like Jalen Hurts in the NFL. Nobody who has 162 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: that much lower lower body strength at that position can 163 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: get that low And it's about leverage and I but 164 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: they you know, the Eagles imported Jason Kelsey to be 165 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: a lobbyist here at the owner's meetings. What could he 166 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: possibly be saying to these other owners that are going 167 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: to make them rethink their vote. 168 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 7: I would imagine there's a little bit of the health 169 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 7: part of it, you know, in him speaking on his 170 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 7: own behalf or experience, because there's people who say there's 171 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 7: health concerns or injury concerns, and so him sharing that, 172 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 7: I think him sharing the unique ability to you know, 173 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 7: the way that they coach it, the way that their 174 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 7: interior offensive line does it. To your point, how Jalen 175 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 7: Hurts executes it, and how you know, it's not a 176 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 7: cheap play for them, but more is something that they've 177 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 7: really perfected because of the way they coach and the 178 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 7: people that they have. I'm sure it's an angle to 179 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 7: try to educate the owners, maybe differently than oh, they're 180 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 7: the only team that does this and it's unfair. 181 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: How excited are you about the NFL being in the 182 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: Olympics with flag football? How does this? 183 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 7: I think it's really cool. I really do. I think 184 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 7: it's very cool. My biggest takeaway is how smart the 185 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 7: NFL is. It's brilliant. You know, if you listen to 186 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 7: Commissioner Goodell and his words, he was saying, you know, 187 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 7: this opens us up even more to men and women, 188 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 7: all ages, all over the world. And so and now 189 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 7: you're you're taking the game of football that many of 190 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 7: US Americans know, and you're bringing a version of it 191 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 7: to all parts of the world that maybe don't know 192 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 7: a ton about it and maybe can feel that, oh, 193 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 7: I could play football like Dan. I've always thought the 194 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 7: protection the quarterback rule that changed years and years and 195 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 7: years ago was about kids. It wasn't about you know, 196 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 7: Eli Manning. It was about moms and dads letting their 197 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 7: eight or ten year old son watch the game. Because 198 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 7: the eight ten year old son the falls and level 199 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 7: with football is going to be the thirty to forty 200 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 7: year old who watches football, you know. And so it's 201 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 7: a little bit of that. This is brilliant business, you know, 202 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 7: stuff from the NFL, and it's you know these I 203 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 7: said this, Yesterda NFL live. These players in the NFL, 204 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 7: you climbed the highest mountain that you think you can climb. 205 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 7: When it comes to your profession, you accomplish it, you 206 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 7: can't go any further. And so now this gives them 207 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 7: another mountain to climb, another challenge to go accomplish. How 208 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 7: rare it would be to be a person that is 209 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 7: an NFL professional player, an MVP, a World champion, and 210 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 7: then an Olympic champion. That's I think it's very cool. 211 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: Okay, but how many players will play for Team USA? 212 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: Who are NFL players? The team that will play represent US? 213 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: If we're trying to win a gold medal? How many 214 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,239 Speaker 2: players will get that opportunity? 215 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 7: Yeah, it seems probably half a dozen, you know, maybe 216 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 7: maybe ten. You know, by my understanding, you got to 217 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 7: try out. So how many guys are going to be 218 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 7: willing to just go try out? Because, let's be honest, 219 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 7: there's an ego element to these guys as well. We 220 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 7: all believe that we're the best and whatnot. Two, you 221 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 7: can only have one player per NFL team, per country, 222 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 7: I believe. So that means that Brian Branch and Jamier Gibbs, 223 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 7: both Lions, cannot play for the United States. Okay, you know, 224 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 7: so that limits your pool just a little bit. 225 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: Okay, are you going to have thirty two players competing 226 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 2: for ten roster spots on Team USA? Like football? Is 227 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: that how this plays out? No? 228 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 7: I don't think so. I mean, how many quarterbacks are 229 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 7: actually going to go try and do it. You know 230 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 7: how many our receivers you know, will be you know, 231 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 7: willing to do it. I'm sure there are going to 232 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 7: be some organizations that are a little bit cautious on it. 233 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 7: I know they all voted in favor of it. We'll 234 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 7: see how they feel about it in three years when 235 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 7: it's their Super Bowl window and it's their star receiver 236 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 7: that they're concerned about and whatnot. So I don't know 237 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 7: there'd be thirty two, but I do think that there's 238 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 7: going to be a decent amount of guys, at least 239 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 7: initially interested in that. 240 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. Can I submit this for next year's Sports Emmy 241 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: having you on it, having one and agreeing that we 242 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: deserve to win the Sports Emmy? 243 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, you could submit it. 244 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, you could submit it. 245 00:12:53,920 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, I'm out a round of applause.

And you 329 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 6: can't play this game with fear, right, So it was 330 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 6: time for me to officially retire, even though I retired 331 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 6: at the age of thirty nine, but I stayed every 332 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 6: now and then my son's hockey schools and I get 333 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 6: on the ice, but I don't play in charity games anymore. 334 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 6: I don't trust myself out there. 335 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 2: But that's what makes what yarm or ynger or Gordi, 336 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: how did listen? 337 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 6: It's amazing, GORDI how got twenty goals in the NHL 338 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 6: at the age of fifty? Think about that. 339 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: Amo Yager. 340 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 6: I don't know. He's got to be fifty eight. I 341 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 6: don't even know how hold he is. And he's still 342 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 6: playing games, although he told me one day he said, 343 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 6: I only play the home games now, though I said, well, 344 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 6: you're arrested. And Chris Jellio has played the fifty years 345 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 6: old and the way he played he was a maniac 346 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 6: at the age of twenty and the age of fifty, 347 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 6: So I have great admiration for older players, older athletes 348 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 6: who have excelled, Guys like Tom Brady, guys like Lebron. 349 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 6: It's pretty remarkable that you can go on at that 350 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 6: age because, you know, Dan, you've been around sports a 351 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 6: long time. The athletes are better today. They're bigger, they're stronger, 352 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 6: the coaching is better. And that's not a knock to 353 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 6: the past. That's just progression. Right twenty years from now, 354 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 6: it's going to be better today. It's different. Every sport 355 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 6: is different than it used to be. But the athletes 356 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 6: I think are better today. 357 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 2: Did you lift weights? 358 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 6: Brad Hall had the greatest line of all. Somebody said 359 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 6: to him, you lift weights, and he said, I've never 360 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 6: seen a bar bell score, but I've seen a lot 361 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 6: of We used to do a training camp. We would 362 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 6: come in and they'd have these kids from the university 363 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 6: that would do our you know, I guess they were 364 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 6: seeing what kind of shape you're in. So they had this. 365 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 6: You had the bench press one hundred ninety five pounds, 366 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 6: and I would just look at the bar and I'd 367 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 6: say to the kid, just mark me down for one. 368 00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 6: I didn't even try to lift it. I said, how 369 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 6: many sit ups did I do last year? He said, seven, 370 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 6: I said, Mark me, so say they would think I 371 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 6: was getting better, But listen, I did eight push ups 372 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 6: in training camp and scored ninety two goals. I did 373 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty five sit ups my last year 374 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 6: training camp, I got nine goals. There's no correlation. 375 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 2: Right, When did you realize that Ovechkin could get your 376 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: goalscoring record? 377 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 10: Well? 378 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 6: When he scored on his back against us? When I 379 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 6: was coaching in Phoenix in about two thousand and seven, 380 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 6: I came in the locker room and I think it 381 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 6: was Rick Talckett said, the writing's on the wall. This 382 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 6: guy's going to be chasing you down. No, we knew 383 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 6: he was. Listen, he's a I said this. There's only 384 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 6: three guys, him, Messe and Gordie Howe that could play 385 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 6: with the finesse, the goal scoring touch and the physical 386 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 6: part of the game. Those three guys did that. Now, 387 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 6: maybe Mark had little bit more creativity with passing, but scoring. 388 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 6: Mark scored big goals all the time. Gordy House scored 389 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 6: big goals. But if they weren't scoring, they'd run through you. 390 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 6: And that's what those three guys have in common. 391 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 2: But explain to us that it's the hardest thing to do, 392 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: aside from hitting a baseball. But you're on skates with 393 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: a stick and guys are trying to beat the hell 394 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 2: out of you when you have the puck on your stick, Like, 395 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: what were you looking for? 396 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 6: Well, people always say, how did you score that goal? 397 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 6: Did you see that open spot? Did you scout the goalie? 398 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 6: You know, maybe where his tendencies were and what was 399 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 6: his weakness. The game is so fast to me, I 400 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 6: was just shooting, trying to get an open spot, trying 401 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 6: to hit the net. It was my biggest pet peeve 402 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 6: in the world when you go all the way down 403 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 6: the ice and the guy would shoot the puck and 404 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 6: miss the net. And if you look at Mike Bossi 405 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 6: and Brett Hull and Vets and you're a Curry Mario, 406 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 6: they didn't miss the net. They hit the You can't 407 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 6: score if you don't hit the net. Common sense, Right, 408 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 6: game's too fast to now. In practice, you get out 409 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 6: there and you put up targets and you work on 410 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 6: things like that. But during the game, the game's too fast. 411 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 6: You're just trying to get it to the net. 412 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: Do you hold a grudge against anybody? 413 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 6: Do I? 414 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? From your playing days, no, As. 415 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 6: A matter of fact, the exact opposite. I have so 416 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 6: much more respect for the players I played with and 417 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 6: against today. Even back then, now, listen, there was a 418 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 6: lot of guys that didn't like because they're trying to 419 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 6: win and I was trying to win. But today, even 420 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 6: even the guy that played me the hardest, the guy 421 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 6: like Dennis Potvan, if he called me needed a favor, 422 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 6: I would try to drop everything and try to help him. 423 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 6: You know, we become one. There's one common thing that 424 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 6: we all have as professional athletes. One day we're going 425 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 6: to be alumni. We're all going to be retired, right, 426 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 6: So I got a great respect. Now. There was a 427 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 6: lot of guys that probably hated me when they played 428 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 6: against me, and there's a lot of guys I didn't like. 429 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 6: But when it's all said and done, it's like the 430 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 6: other night when you saw Dallas, Jamie Benn and Scheifeley 431 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 6: battled for six games like real men. They were physical, hard, 432 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 6: played hard, and that's what makes our game so great. 433 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 6: The emotions that they showed after the game and the 434 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,479 Speaker 6: sportsmanship and the respect they had for each other was 435 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 6: truly remarkable. I happened to be at the game and 436 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 6: I thought it was just amazing. 437 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 2: Talking to Wayne Gretzky the Hall of Famer. Does your 438 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,719 Speaker 2: wife ever call you the great one? 439 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 6: No? Every time that she probably says, do you think, 440 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 6: why do you think you're the great one? I will 441 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 6: tell you. I was having dinner with Charles Berkley one 442 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 6: night in Phoenix and my son and I and we're 443 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 6: sitting there, and his wife said, great one. When you 444 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 6: passed me in the salt, and I went to grab 445 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 6: the salt and his hand was already there, and he said, 446 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 6: in this house they call me. My son was fifteen. 447 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 6: Then he thought it was the greatest thing in the world. 448 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 2: Where are all your trophies? 449 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 6: I have one trophy here that Rocket Richard gave me, 450 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 6: the only hockey trophy. I have one of the trophies 451 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 6: I'm most proud of. I have here Sports Illustrated Sportsman 452 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 6: in the year. That's the only two I have here. 453 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 6: The rest are at the Hockey Hall of Fame or 454 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 6: in the basement of my since past parents' house that 455 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 6: my nephew lives in, and my trophies are still there. 456 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 2: How important were trophies to you, aside from the Stanley Cup? 457 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know Glenn Say there had a theory in 458 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 6: training camp. I want to win the scoring race. I 459 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 6: want to win the best defenseman. I want a goalie 460 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 6: to be the best goalie. I want to have the MVP. 461 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 6: But with all that, I want the Stanley Cup. So yeah, 462 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 6: it was. He put it out there. He didn't hide 463 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 6: from it at all. 464 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 2: The difference between playoff hockey and regular season hockey, and 465 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 2: it's not, you know, that much different than other sports. 466 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: You know, maybe the NFL is still in each game 467 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 2: because there's only seventeen games, but what is it about 468 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 2: playoff hockey that we you know, it's just different. It's 469 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: different than any other sport. 470 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 6: It really is. Although I'm a basketball fan, I think 471 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 6: the basketball has been phenomenal this year in the playoffs, 472 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 6: and you can tell those guys have gone to another level. 473 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 6: Our game has just always been that way, and I 474 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 6: think one of the things that happens is it's so 475 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 6: hard to referee our sports so fast, and our referees 476 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 6: do a great job. And when we get in the 477 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 6: playoffs and referees tell both teams, look, you can play 478 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 6: hard and you play physical, just don't be stupid. We 479 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 6: don't want to be the difference in the hockey game, 480 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 6: and so the game becomes extremely physical and very fast, 481 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 6: and it's hard to it's hard to win in the 482 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 6: National Hockey League. And I thought Carolina played a really 483 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 6: good hockey game last night. Unfortunately, they're playing maybe the 484 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 6: best team in the last three years and they get 485 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 6: beat And now you play all year to get home 486 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 6: I sadvantage and you lose it in one night, and 487 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 6: so I expect and anticipate Burns and company will come 488 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 6: out flying tomorrow night. 489 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're like Peyton Manning when you're 490 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: watching Peyton gets upset, you know, when he's watching bad football, 491 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 2: or somebody does. I don't know, how are you similar 492 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 2: to Peyton Manning when you're watching hockey and you're like, 493 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 2: why are they doing something? Or you get you know, visibly, 494 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: you know, upset with what you're seeing. 495 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 6: No, not at all. I don't critique it, if anything 496 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 6: on the opposite, I just sit and enjoy it. I 497 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 6: really appreciate good plays. I really appreciate good coaching. And 498 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 6: you can see the four teams are in the finals. 499 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 6: They all have good coaching and that's part of the 500 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 6: reason they're there. And then they have the skill and 501 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 6: the talent to go with that. So now I know 502 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 6: how hard these kids work, and I never critique them. 503 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: The honest place where you were recognized is where. 504 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 6: Oh gosh, I don't know, maybe roam. You know, it's amazing. 505 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 6: I retired twenty five years ago. I think I get 506 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 6: recognized more now than I did in nineteen ninety nine. 507 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 6: But people are nice. It doesn't even phaze me. You know, 508 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 6: people are always nice. Everybody has their opinions. Who the 509 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 6: best player was, who the best teams were? We all 510 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 6: do That's what makes sports great and all. We don't 511 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 6: have the right answer. It's your opinion, as simple as that. 512 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: But Michael Jordan thinks he's the greatest basketball player of 513 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 2: all time. 514 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, he was the greatest athlete I think of all time. 515 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: Do you think you're the greatest hockey player of all time? 516 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 6: No, No, not at all. I always said that Gordi 517 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 6: Howe and Bobby Orr were the two greatest hockey players 518 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 6: that ever lived. I made my life because of those 519 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 6: two guys. They took the NHL to another level and 520 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 6: gave me an opportunity. No, I would never say that, 521 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 6: and I mean that sincerely. I tell my kids that 522 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 6: i'd say publicly, I have too much respect for both 523 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 6: those players that I would think that I was better 524 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 6: than they were. 525 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 2: But if I said, I can wipe away everything you 526 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 2: did in hockey, but you would have been a Hall 527 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 2: of Fame baseball player for the Tigers, and. 528 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 6: I would have told you I was the greatest baseball 529 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 6: player ever. I can bragg about my baseball. 530 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: But you told me years ago that you that really was. 531 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: That was a goal. Like you loved the Detroit Tigers. 532 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 6: Oh, I really did. I grew up an Ernie Harwell fan. 533 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 6: Mickey Lolis. One of the great days of my life. 534 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 6: I watched Mickey lowlts pitch when I was thirteen, and 535 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 6: I wrote it in my book. We're playing in Detroit 536 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 6: one day and trainer came in and said, there's a 537 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 6: guy out here that wants to sign his book. Can 538 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 6: I bring him in? I said, sure, it was Mickey 539 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 6: Lolis because I wrote the story in the book, and 540 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 6: so I got a chance to meet him and get 541 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 6: a picture taken with him. And then through those years, 542 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 6: you know, Mark the burn Fidrich came and you know, 543 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 6: and then when Sparky Anderson went to Detroit and they 544 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 6: won the World Series, So I grew up a huge 545 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 6: Tigers fan. Now I love the Blue Jays, but they 546 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 6: weren't there till seventy six, so I'd been fifteen years 547 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 6: in baseball by the time the Jays were sort of founded. 548 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: Were you starstruck first time you met Jordan? 549 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think everybody is. Like I said to me, 550 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 6: the two greatest athletes ever were Michael Jordan Muhammad Ali, 551 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 6: and I got the chance to be friends with both 552 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 6: of them. I got a chance to spend a lot 553 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 6: of time with Muhammad La. I went to New York 554 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 6: in nineteen seventy eight when I signed the WHA and 555 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 6: I was with Gordi Howe and Bobby Hall, and I 556 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 6: was his kid. Just starstruck, right, And We're in the 557 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 6: Plaza Hotels the first time I'd ever been to New 558 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 6: York and there I was standing there. Muhammad La came 559 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 6: over to shake Gordy house hand and I almost fell 560 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 6: over like that. And then five minutes later, Pat Boone 561 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 6: came over to say lo to Gordi Howe, and I said, 562 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 6: is there anybody this guy doesn't know? So he fascinated 563 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 6: me from the very first time I ever met him. 564 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they have to be starstruck when they meet 565 00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 2: you too. 566 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 6: I don't think so, I hope not, because I'm like you, 567 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 6: I'm a normal guy. 568 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: Well you are. You're so approachable, you know, And I 569 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: liken you to kind of Joe Montana. If people see you, 570 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: they don't realize that guy did what he did in 571 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 2: his sport. Like you see Montana, he looks like he's 572 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: a kicker. You don't think that's one of the greatest 573 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: quarterbacks of all time. Like you're disarming because you're very 574 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 2: generous to people and very gracious. 575 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, people are nice and listening. I got everything in 576 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 6: my life because of hockey and because of fans. But 577 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 6: I remember our sons played together, and I used to 578 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 6: love the fact that Joe was there because we go 579 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 6: to the high school football games and nobody even cared 580 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 6: that I was. Everybody was bothering and getting pictures with Joe. 581 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 6: He made my life in high school that much easier. 582 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: But that's I mean, it's been a pretty amazing career. 583 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 2: But like any goals that, what's left here for you? 584 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know. Right now. I'm proud to or 585 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 6: five grandchildren and two more on the way. And you 586 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 6: know families for me now, and you know, I did 587 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 6: my hockey thing and I loved every minute of it. 588 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 6: Now I'm a fan. I enjoy being on TNT. They're 589 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 6: wonderful people and the people we work with. And Liam 590 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 6: is unbelievable. He's our quarterback and you know he does 591 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 6: all the legwork and all the heavy lifting. And I 592 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 6: just got to sit there and talk hockey. How nice 593 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 6: is that you get to sit there and I don't 594 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 6: have to worry about getting hit or run or knocked 595 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 6: over the head. I can just sit there and have fun. 596 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 2: But you're healthy, very healthy, okay. 597 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 6: Although like everyone else, you know, I had some pre 598 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 6: cancerous things taking off my face in the last few weeks, but. 599 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 2: But no concussion stuff. 600 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 6: Like if you asked my wife, she would tell you, 601 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 6: I forget things I just told you an hour ago. 602 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 6: You lost that back in those they told you to 603 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 6: go home, have a beer, go to bed, have an AskMen, 604 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 6: we'll come and skate at you tomorrow. You'll sweat it out. 605 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 2: Do you have any pictures of you fighting, like the 606 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 2: frame photos of you. Yeah, it was going to happen 607 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 2: very often. I'm curious if I was. 608 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 6: Talking about my sports Illusterates Trophy. I got one fight 609 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 6: really in my career. Neil Broughton wasn't even his fault. 610 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 6: I jumped him. The guy flies from New York and 611 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 6: he's out there giving this presentation about how my sportsmanship, 612 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 6: how I don't fight. First shift in, I'm fighting Neil Broughton. 613 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 6: I get to the bench and I'll never get MESSI 614 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 6: said to me, what were you doing? And I said, 615 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 6: I don't know. But Davison Micah says, the good news 616 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 6: is that's not even a fight. That's called cat fighting, 617 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 6: so that doesn't count. 618 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: But did you throw a punch? 619 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 6: I don't even remember. I think I kind of, I 620 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 6: don't know. We got to the pebbly box and I 621 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 6: remember I looked over and I said, I'm sorry. 622 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 2: I apologize Neil. 623 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 6: I think he's more shocked than the seventeen people at 624 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 6: the game and the nineteen teammates I had on the 625 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 6: bench going what was that all about? One night we 626 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 6: were playing in Chicago, Bob Murray kind of he's always 627 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 6: whacking me and hacking me, and I got so mad 628 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 6: at grabbed him and he threw me on the ice 629 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 6: and he had his hand like this, and I'm looking 630 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 6: over at our bench and there's five guys with their 631 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 6: legs over the boards and he's holding me. He goes, now, 632 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 6: don't move. I'm not gonna hate you. And I got 633 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 6: back to the bench and I told all the guys, 634 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 6: I said, nobody's allowed to touch him the rest of 635 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 6: the night. 636 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 2: But did you give like Dave Simenko an extra gift? 637 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 2: He was your protector. They had to have one on 638 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 2: each team. 639 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 6: I'm guessing in those days everybody had sort of that guy, right, 640 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 6: you know the one I did give him. I gave 641 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 6: him my car that I wanted the All Star Game 642 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 6: in nineteen eighty nine and Edmonton, I guess yeah. I 643 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 6: brought him downstairs after the game. I said, here's the keys, 644 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 6: so you can have the car. So he was great. 645 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 6: He was a great teammate to all of us, and 646 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 6: he was beloved by the fans, the fans in Edmonton. 647 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 6: He was as big as anybody on that team. They 648 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 6: loved him to death. And you know, he was witty, 649 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 6: He was fine, and he didn't really want to fight. 650 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 6: He only did it if he had to, if he 651 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 6: saw somebody abusing a teammate. He never went looking to 652 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 6: hurt anybody and that's listen. That's the other thing about 653 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 6: our league, especially in those days. Those tough guys didn't 654 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,479 Speaker 6: want to go hurt guys. They didn't want to go 655 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 6: after those guys. They fought the big guys, right, They 656 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 6: fought each other. 657 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 2: It was kind of a code, all right, handicap. The 658 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 2: teams that are left in the playoffs give us like 659 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 2: a tutorial on what do you think is going to 660 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: play out well. 661 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 6: I like all four teams because I think all four 662 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 6: teams are well coached, and I think all four teams 663 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 6: right now are getting goaltending. I think Autinger and Bob 664 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 6: Rovsky have proven to be two of the elite goalies. 665 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 6: Skinner last year got to the finals and had a 666 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 6: good run. He's got two shutouts in a row, so 667 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 6: he seems to be on a roll. Anderson in Carolina, 668 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 6: I wasn't. He didn't have a bad game last night, 669 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 6: but he didn't have a great game last night. The 670 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 6: thing between Carolina and physical I think Carolina is a 671 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 6: little bit faster and they the go, go, go go. 672 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 6: Florida is smart and disciplined. This general manager has made 673 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 6: some great deals. He's got to chuck. He got Bennett 674 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 6: traded for Seth Jones or Shawn On and on. So 675 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 6: it's tough to knock out the Stanley Cup champions, right. 676 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 6: So I like Florida, but Roddy Brunomore and I were 677 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 6: roommates at the Olympics in nineteen ninety eight, so you 678 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 6: know my hurts with him also, and he's done a 679 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 6: phenomenal job. Now everybody knows Edmonton that you know, we're 680 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 6: my life was made and I always vote for them. 681 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 6: My brother's the assistant GM. They have the two of 682 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 6: the best three players in the National Hockey League and 683 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 6: dry Sidle and McDavid questions the best player in the game. 684 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 6: They're going to have to contain him. Pete de Boor 685 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 6: has done a great job. And Dallas they made incredible 686 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 6: trade getting Ratting in. I think it changed their team. 687 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 6: The team that Dallas is playing Edmonton's playing this year 688 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 6: in the semi finals. Dallas is a better team than 689 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 6: they were last year and that series went six games. 690 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 6: So this series I predicted those seven games. 691 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 2: My best your wife and the family. Great to see 692 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 2: you again and ut. 693 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 6: Seeing you, and it's always a pleasure. I hope everything's 694 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 6: going well for you and your family too. 695 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 2: Thank you, Bud. Good to talk to you. 696 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 6: You guys all take care. 697 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 2: How about that a great one?

We'll take a break 702 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 2: last call for phone calls, what we learned and maybe 703 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 2: some finality on the tush push. 704 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: After this, be sure to catch the live edition of 705 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six 706 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP. 707 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 2: We've been waiting for a ruling from the NFL owners 708 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 2: meetings in Minnesota on the tush push where there be modifications? 709 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 2: Would they get rid of it? And PAULI, do we 710 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 2: have a final answer? Do we want to play the 711 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 2: tush push game? 712 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 5: Possibly for the last time, the tush push game? 713 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 2: All right? Todd? Will the NFL allow the tush push 714 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 2: next season? 715 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 6: The touch push is done? 716 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 2: Ain't Seaton? I think the tush push was pushed again 717 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 2: to another vote at some other time that the table. 718 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 4: I think the tush push has still been pushed. 719 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 2: Okay, Marvin, I think they banned it. All right. I'm 720 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 2: going to say they tweaked language, but they banned it. 721 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 5: According to a number of reporters, the Packers proposal to 722 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 5: ban the tush push did not receive the required support. 723 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 5: Twenty four NFL owners would have had to vote against 724 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 5: it to remove it from the game. 725 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 2: Twenty two owners voted against it. 726 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,839 Speaker 5: Oh Man, there's no other recourse this offseason. It will 727 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 5: stay in the game for the twenty twenty five season. 728 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 5: The Philadelphia Eagles moments ago tweeted out push on with 729 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 5: the picture of Jalen Hurts against the Packers doing the 730 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 5: tush push. 731 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 2: Okay, little eleventh hour lobbying going on by the Eagles. 732 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 2: All right, Uh Ray in Texas?
