<v Speaker 2>his trophy case is it's got to be a room

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.720

<v Speaker 2>or eight years old.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.480

<v Speaker 2>his son.

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 5>I can't imagine any trophies that guy.

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and these aren't participatory trophies like my kids got.

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.880

<v Speaker 7>Doing very well. How are you good, sir? Doing crampy yeah,

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.360
<v Speaker 7>I feel very poorly right now.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 6>Do you.

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:29.839
<v Speaker 7>I do?

<v Speaker 6>What?

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you think we deserved it?

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 7>I think we deserved it as well. But you're a

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 7>good man, and people you work with are good people,

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 7>and I know there's only one winner, and it makes

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 7>me feel awkward now talking to someone who didn't win.

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 7>That was probably very deserting.

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>You know what it's like when you throw a pick

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>six or something, You know, when you you have a

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 2>moment and you got a back from it. I mean, yeah,

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 2>can you help us understand, like, how do we come

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>back from such an embarrassing loss that we didn't win

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>the Sports Emmy last night?

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 7>I think that you guys, you know, there's a couple

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 7>of really good self helped books that might be out

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 7>there that you can entertain too. Listen. I mean, we

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 7>did win, and I woke up this morning and two

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 7>of my four kids absolutely stunk this morning. So I

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 7>had to deal with life moving forward as well, no

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 7>matter we win or lose. So I looked at my

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 7>wife after we dropped off our daughter's fool, I said, well,

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 7>whether we won last night or loss, two of our

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 7>four kids gave us absolute attitude this morning. So here

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 7>we are.

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Well in all honesty, sincerity. Congratulations dan Orlowsky, ESPN analysts,

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>part of NFL Live, former NFL quarterback. Let's say five

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 2>years let's say ten years ago, I told you, you

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 2>know what, You're going to be part of a show

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>that wins sports Emmy. You would have said, what, You're

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>out of your mind.

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 7>There's no shot. I won't even be in TV. What

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 7>is these sports Emmy? I didn't know they gave those.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Out because I look at you and I keep thinking,

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>you're an offensive coordinator in disguise. You know you're you're

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>you're an analyst, But have you given up that dream

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 2>of being a head coach or a coordinator.

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 7>I don't think I've given it up. I think I

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 7>you know, I want to be as always, I'm very

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.559
<v Speaker 7>honest and transparent. This is I felt in the last

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 7>two years. It was probably the closest that calling had

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 7>come for me as far as the desire and the poll,

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 7>and probably after this past maybe four to six months,

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 7>that is subsided and it's probably the furthest I've been

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 7>away from that in a couple of years, just because

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 7>of the reality of where we are with our life

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 7>as a FA I've got you know, three seventh grade boys.

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 7>I've got a fourth grade girl. My wife loves living

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.679
<v Speaker 7>where we live. We've made really good friends in town.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 7>I don't have the desire to uproot that right now,

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 7>you know, with a with a want rather than a need,

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 7>you know. Unfortunate some people have to do that because

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 7>it's their only choice. I don't have to, and so,

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 7>and I really love what I'm doing right now, you know, Dan,

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:30.599
<v Speaker 7>Like I think this process of going through being nominated

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 7>and then being a part of last night, you know,

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 7>it kind of I don't want to say re energize

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 7>this because energy is not what I need. It makes

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 7>me want to continue to climb things, you know. Like,

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 7>I'm gonna be honest with you. I was up for

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 7>analysts of last night as well. I was furious for

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 7>not winning. Furious. I was Everyone's like, it's an honor

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 7>to be nominated. I get that, you know, Like, but

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 7>I wanted to win that.

0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 6>I really did.

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 7>And when Barkley won, I texted, I'm like, what the heck, dude?

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 7>And I was bombed.

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:05.239
<v Speaker 6>I was bombed. My wife.

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 7>I was like, I want to go. I was being

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 7>a sore loser, a baby, and so like Uh, you know,

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.840
<v Speaker 7>like I want to win that one day. I really

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 7>do so.

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 7>It's it's been really cool to be a part of

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 7>the team that won, and I like, do I love

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 7>what I'm doing right.

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Now talking to dan Orlovsky of the Mothership the uh

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Push Push We're waiting supposed to be voted on any minute.

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 2>What do you think? How does this play out?

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it sounds like it's gonna get you know, it's

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 7>gonna get past that, it's gonna get banned. I just

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 7>caution everybody that there's gonna be consequences that come from

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 7>this that no one's really looking at. If it goes

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.039
<v Speaker 7>back to the newest proposal, which is what Green Bay

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 7>has put out there, I believe language wise that no

0:06:55.440 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 7>offensive player can push or pull another offensive player. We're

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 7>totally changing offensive football then, and this is about way

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 7>more than just quarterback sneak. My mind goes to all

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 7>of those plays that the ball carrier or whoever gets

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 7>hit it like the three or four yard line, and

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 7>then all of a sudden, the two are three offensive

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 7>linemen come in. It becomes that will push you know,

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 7>who's got more desire at that moment to get the

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 7>ball across the goal line, because that play will now

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 7>if the ruling gets passed, will go from a touchdown

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 7>to then a penalty. And just so everybody understands, defensive

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 7>players are caught. First guy, make the hit, wrap up, second, third,

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 7>fourth guy, come in, hit, punch at the ball, put

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 7>your helmet on the football. So now, from an offensive perspective,

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 7>if this rule gets passed, I hand the ball off

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 7>to my back and he gets hit at the four

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 7>yard line, no one on my team can touch him

0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 7>from that point forward to push or pull. But the

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 7>defense can come in and punch at the ball and

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 7>rip at the ball and hit at the ball. Then

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 7>we're changing football offensively in a way. And we're also

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 7>changing some if we're being tended defenseless player situations.

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I still think Philadelphia is going to be extremely

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 2>successful at a quarterback sneak because of Jalen hurt. There's

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 2>nobody like Jalen Hurts in the NFL. Nobody who has

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 2>that much lower lower body strength at that position can

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 2>get that low And it's about leverage and I but

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>they you know, the Eagles imported Jason Kelsey to be

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 2>a lobbyist here at the owner's meetings. What could he

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 2>possibly be saying to these other owners that are going

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 2>to make them rethink their vote.

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 7>I would imagine there's a little bit of the health

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 7>part of it, you know, in him speaking on his

0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 7>own behalf or experience, because there's people who say there's

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 7>health concerns or injury concerns, and so him sharing that,

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 7>I think him sharing the unique ability to you know,

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 7>the way that they coach it, the way that their

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 7>interior offensive line does it. To your point, how Jalen

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.959
<v Speaker 7>Hurts executes it, and how you know, it's not a

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 7>cheap play for them, but more is something that they've

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 7>really perfected because of the way they coach and the

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 7>people that they have. I'm sure it's an angle to

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 7>try to educate the owners, maybe differently than oh, they're

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 7>the only team that does this and it's unfair.

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>How excited are you about the NFL being in the

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Olympics with flag football? How does this?

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 7>I think it's really cool. I really do. I think

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 7>it's very cool. My biggest takeaway is how smart the

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 7>NFL is. It's brilliant. You know, if you listen to

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 7>Commissioner Goodell and his words, he was saying, you know,

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 7>this opens us up even more to men and women,

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 7>all ages, all over the world. And so and now

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 7>you're you're taking the game of football that many of

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 7>US Americans know, and you're bringing a version of it

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 7>to all parts of the world that maybe don't know

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.679
<v Speaker 7>a ton about it and maybe can feel that, oh,

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 7>I could play football like Dan. I've always thought the

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 7>protection the quarterback rule that changed years and years and

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 7>years ago was about kids. It wasn't about you know,

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 7>Eli Manning. It was about moms and dads letting their

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 7>eight or ten year old son watch the game. Because

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 7>the eight ten year old son the falls and level

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 7>with football is going to be the thirty to forty

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 7>year old who watches football, you know. And so it's

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 7>a little bit of that. This is brilliant business, you know,

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 7>stuff from the NFL, and it's you know these I

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 7>said this, Yesterda NFL live. These players in the NFL,

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 7>you climbed the highest mountain that you think you can climb.

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 7>When it comes to your profession, you accomplish it, you

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 7>can't go any further. And so now this gives them

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 7>another mountain to climb, another challenge to go accomplish. How

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 7>rare it would be to be a person that is

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 7>an NFL professional player, an MVP, a World champion, and

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 7>then an Olympic champion. That's I think it's very cool.

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but how many players will play for Team USA?

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Who are NFL players? The team that will play represent US?

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>If we're trying to win a gold medal? How many

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.239
<v Speaker 2>players will get that opportunity?

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:20.439
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it seems probably half a dozen, you know, maybe

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 7>maybe ten. You know, by my understanding, you got to

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 7>try out. So how many guys are going to be

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 7>willing to just go try out? Because, let's be honest,

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 7>there's an ego element to these guys as well. We

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 7>all believe that we're the best and whatnot. Two, you

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 7>can only have one player per NFL team, per country,

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 7>I believe. So that means that Brian Branch and Jamier Gibbs,

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 7>both Lions, cannot play for the United States. Okay, you know,

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.199
<v Speaker 7>so that limits your pool just a little bit.

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, are you going to have thirty two players competing

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 2>for ten roster spots on Team USA? Like football? Is

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 2>that how this plays out? No?

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 7>I don't think so. I mean, how many quarterbacks are

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.960
<v Speaker 7>actually going to go try and do it. You know

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 7>how many our receivers you know, will be you know,

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.199
<v Speaker 7>willing to do it. I'm sure there are going to

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 7>be some organizations that are a little bit cautious on it.

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 7>I know they all voted in favor of it. We'll

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 7>see how they feel about it in three years when

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 7>it's their Super Bowl window and it's their star receiver

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.960
<v Speaker 7>that they're concerned about and whatnot. So I don't know

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 7>there'd be thirty two, but I do think that there's

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.559
<v Speaker 7>going to be a decent amount of guys, at least

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 7>initially interested in that.

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Can I submit this for next year's Sports Emmy

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>having you on it, having one and agreeing that we

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>deserve to win the Sports Emmy?

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you could submit it.

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you could submit it.

0:12:53.920 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, Yeah, I'm out a round of applause. Yeah,

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 2>it should be a very interesting NFL Live episode later

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>today for you, Dan.

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 7>No, I'm bet you're not on today.

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Good for you.

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 7>I'm not on today, I'm not. My sons have a

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 2>see you again. How you feeling?

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 6>I feel older, but it's great to see you. You know,

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 6>when you get your two youngest kids graduating college the

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.119
<v Speaker 6>same week, you know you're getting old. So Thursday NYU,

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 6>Friday SMU, and onto the Stanley Cup Semis and the finals.

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Now, could you give me a shift on the ice?

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 6>No, I'll tell you what happened about the age of

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 6>fifty seven. I was playing in a charity game and

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 6>I came back and I threw my bag down the

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 6>hotel room and I said to my wife, that's the

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 6>last time I'm ever going to skate, and she goes,

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 6>what do you mean? I said, I was scared to death.

0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 6>I was going to fall and hurt myself. And you

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 6>can't play this game with fear, right, So it was

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 6>time for me to officially retire, even though I retired

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 6>at the age of thirty nine, but I stayed every

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.640
<v Speaker 6>now and then my son's hockey schools and I get

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.680
<v Speaker 6>on the ice, but I don't play in charity games anymore.

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 6>I don't trust myself out there.

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:20.159
<v Speaker 2>But that's what makes what yarm or ynger or Gordi,

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 2>how did listen?

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 6>It's amazing, GORDI how got twenty goals in the NHL

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 6>at the age of fifty? Think about that.

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Amo Yager.

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. He's got to be fifty eight. I

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 6>don't even know how hold he is. And he's still

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 6>playing games, although he told me one day he said,

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 6>I only play the home games now, though I said, well,

0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 6>you're arrested. And Chris Jellio has played the fifty years

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 6>old and the way he played he was a maniac

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 6>at the age of twenty and the age of fifty,

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:54.160
<v Speaker 6>So I have great admiration for older players, older athletes

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 6>who have excelled, Guys like Tom Brady, guys like Lebron.

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 6>It's pretty remarkable that you can go on at that

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 6>age because, you know, Dan, you've been around sports a

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.440
<v Speaker 6>long time. The athletes are better today. They're bigger, they're stronger,

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 6>the coaching is better. And that's not a knock to

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 6>the past. That's just progression. Right twenty years from now,

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 6>it's going to be better today. It's different. Every sport

0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 6>is different than it used to be. But the athletes

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 6>I think are better today.

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Did you lift weights?

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.160
<v Speaker 6>Brad Hall had the greatest line of all. Somebody said

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 6>to him, you lift weights, and he said, I've never

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 6>seen a bar bell score, but I've seen a lot

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:40.160
<v Speaker 6>of We used to do a training camp. We would

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 6>come in and they'd have these kids from the university

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.360
<v Speaker 6>that would do our you know, I guess they were

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 6>seeing what kind of shape you're in. So they had this.

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 6>You had the bench press one hundred ninety five pounds,

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 6>and I would just look at the bar and I'd

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 6>say to the kid, just mark me down for one.

0:18:55.520 --> 0:19:00.720
<v Speaker 6>I didn't even try to lift it. I said, how

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.960
<v Speaker 6>many sit ups did I do last year? He said, seven,

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:07.879
<v Speaker 6>I said, Mark me, so say they would think I

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 6>was getting better, But listen, I did eight push ups

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 6>in training camp and scored ninety two goals. I did

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.400
<v Speaker 6>one hundred and twenty five sit ups my last year

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.720
<v Speaker 6>training camp, I got nine goals. There's no correlation.

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, When did you realize that Ovechkin could get your

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 2>goalscoring record?

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 10>Well?

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.119
<v Speaker 6>When he scored on his back against us? When I

0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 6>was coaching in Phoenix in about two thousand and seven,

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:38.399
<v Speaker 6>I came in the locker room and I think it

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.639
<v Speaker 6>was Rick Talckett said, the writing's on the wall. This

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 6>guy's going to be chasing you down. No, we knew

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 6>he was. Listen, he's a I said this. There's only

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 6>three guys, him, Messe and Gordie Howe that could play

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 6>with the finesse, the goal scoring touch and the physical

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 6>part of the game. Those three guys did that. Now,

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 6>maybe Mark had little bit more creativity with passing, but scoring.

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 6>Mark scored big goals all the time. Gordy House scored

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.360
<v Speaker 6>big goals. But if they weren't scoring, they'd run through you.

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 6>And that's what those three guys have in common.

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 2>But explain to us that it's the hardest thing to do,

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 2>aside from hitting a baseball. But you're on skates with

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 2>a stick and guys are trying to beat the hell

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:25.679
<v Speaker 2>out of you when you have the puck on your stick, Like,

0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 2>what were you looking for?

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, people always say, how did you score that goal?

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:39.640
<v Speaker 6>Did you see that open spot? Did you scout the goalie?

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 6>You know, maybe where his tendencies were and what was

0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 6>his weakness. The game is so fast to me, I

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:49.240
<v Speaker 6>was just shooting, trying to get an open spot, trying

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 6>to hit the net. It was my biggest pet peeve

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 6>in the world when you go all the way down

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 6>the ice and the guy would shoot the puck and

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 6>miss the net. And if you look at Mike Bossi

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.800
<v Speaker 6>and Brett Hull and Vets and you're a Curry Mario,

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 6>they didn't miss the net. They hit the You can't

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.880
<v Speaker 6>score if you don't hit the net. Common sense, Right,

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 6>game's too fast to now. In practice, you get out

0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 6>there and you put up targets and you work on

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 6>things like that. But during the game, the game's too fast.

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 6>You're just trying to get it to the net.

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you hold a grudge against anybody?

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:20.720
<v Speaker 6>Do I?

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? From your playing days, no, As.

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.800
<v Speaker 6>A matter of fact, the exact opposite. I have so

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.399
<v Speaker 6>much more respect for the players I played with and

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.399
<v Speaker 6>against today. Even back then, now, listen, there was a

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 6>lot of guys that didn't like because they're trying to

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 6>win and I was trying to win. But today, even

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.160
<v Speaker 6>even the guy that played me the hardest, the guy

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 6>like Dennis Potvan, if he called me needed a favor,

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 6>I would try to drop everything and try to help him.

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:53.119
<v Speaker 6>You know, we become one. There's one common thing that

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.879
<v Speaker 6>we all have as professional athletes. One day we're going

0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.440
<v Speaker 6>to be alumni. We're all going to be retired, right,

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 6>So I got a great respect. Now. There was a

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 6>lot of guys that probably hated me when they played

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 6>against me, and there's a lot of guys I didn't like.

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 6>But when it's all said and done, it's like the

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 6>other night when you saw Dallas, Jamie Benn and Scheifeley

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 6>battled for six games like real men. They were physical, hard,

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 6>played hard, and that's what makes our game so great.

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 6>The emotions that they showed after the game and the

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:25.479
<v Speaker 6>sportsmanship and the respect they had for each other was

0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 6>truly remarkable. I happened to be at the game and

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 6>I thought it was just amazing.

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Talking to Wayne Gretzky the Hall of Famer. Does your

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.719
<v Speaker 2>wife ever call you the great one?

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 6>No? Every time that she probably says, do you think,

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:45.160
<v Speaker 6>why do you think you're the great one? I will

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:47.920
<v Speaker 6>tell you. I was having dinner with Charles Berkley one

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.880
<v Speaker 6>night in Phoenix and my son and I and we're

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 6>sitting there, and his wife said, great one. When you

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 6>passed me in the salt, and I went to grab

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 6>the salt and his hand was already there, and he said,

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:06.360
<v Speaker 6>in this house they call me. My son was fifteen.

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:08.119
<v Speaker 6>Then he thought it was the greatest thing in the world.

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Where are all your trophies?

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.919
<v Speaker 6>I have one trophy here that Rocket Richard gave me,

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 6>the only hockey trophy. I have one of the trophies

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 6>I'm most proud of. I have here Sports Illustrated Sportsman

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 6>in the year. That's the only two I have here.

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 6>The rest are at the Hockey Hall of Fame or

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 6>in the basement of my since past parents' house that

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.120
<v Speaker 6>my nephew lives in, and my trophies are still there.

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 2>How important were trophies to you, aside from the Stanley Cup?

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know Glenn Say there had a theory in

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 6>training camp. I want to win the scoring race. I

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:46.399
<v Speaker 6>want to win the best defenseman. I want a goalie

0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 6>to be the best goalie. I want to have the MVP.

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.520
<v Speaker 6>But with all that, I want the Stanley Cup. So yeah,

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 6>it was. He put it out there. He didn't hide

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 6>from it at all.

0:23:57.040 --> 0:24:00.199
<v Speaker 2>The difference between playoff hockey and regular season hockey, and

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.360
<v Speaker 2>it's not, you know, that much different than other sports.

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, maybe the NFL is still in each game

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 2>because there's only seventeen games, but what is it about

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:15.119
<v Speaker 2>playoff hockey that we you know, it's just different. It's

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 2>different than any other sport.

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 6>It really is. Although I'm a basketball fan, I think

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 6>the basketball has been phenomenal this year in the playoffs,

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:26.119
<v Speaker 6>and you can tell those guys have gone to another level.

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:28.480
<v Speaker 6>Our game has just always been that way, and I

0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 6>think one of the things that happens is it's so

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 6>hard to referee our sports so fast, and our referees

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:37.399
<v Speaker 6>do a great job. And when we get in the

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 6>playoffs and referees tell both teams, look, you can play

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 6>hard and you play physical, just don't be stupid. We

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 6>don't want to be the difference in the hockey game,

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 6>and so the game becomes extremely physical and very fast,

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 6>and it's hard to it's hard to win in the

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.680
<v Speaker 6>National Hockey League. And I thought Carolina played a really

0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 6>good hockey game last night. Unfortunately, they're playing maybe the

0:24:58.040 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 6>best team in the last three years and they get

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 6>beat And now you play all year to get home

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:05.119
<v Speaker 6>I sadvantage and you lose it in one night, and

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 6>so I expect and anticipate Burns and company will come

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 6>out flying tomorrow night.

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're like Peyton Manning when you're

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:17.600
<v Speaker 2>watching Peyton gets upset, you know, when he's watching bad football,

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.400
<v Speaker 2>or somebody does. I don't know, how are you similar

0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:22.719
<v Speaker 2>to Peyton Manning when you're watching hockey and you're like,

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:26.120
<v Speaker 2>why are they doing something? Or you get you know, visibly,

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, upset with what you're seeing.

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:32.400
<v Speaker 6>No, not at all. I don't critique it, if anything

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:34.959
<v Speaker 6>on the opposite, I just sit and enjoy it. I

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 6>really appreciate good plays. I really appreciate good coaching. And

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 6>you can see the four teams are in the finals.

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 6>They all have good coaching and that's part of the

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.240
<v Speaker 6>reason they're there. And then they have the skill and

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 6>the talent to go with that. So now I know

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 6>how hard these kids work, and I never critique them.

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 2>The honest place where you were recognized is where.

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 6>Oh gosh, I don't know, maybe roam. You know, it's amazing.

0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 6>I retired twenty five years ago. I think I get

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 6>recognized more now than I did in nineteen ninety nine.

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 6>But people are nice. It doesn't even phaze me. You know,

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:14.359
<v Speaker 6>people are always nice. Everybody has their opinions. Who the

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 6>best player was, who the best teams were? We all

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 6>do That's what makes sports great and all. We don't

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:22.400
<v Speaker 6>have the right answer. It's your opinion, as simple as that.

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 2>But Michael Jordan thinks he's the greatest basketball player of

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 2>all time.

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he was the greatest athlete I think of all time.

0:26:28.520 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you think you're the greatest hockey player of all time?

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 6>No, No, not at all. I always said that Gordi

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 6>Howe and Bobby Orr were the two greatest hockey players

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 6>that ever lived. I made my life because of those

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:43.960
<v Speaker 6>two guys. They took the NHL to another level and

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 6>gave me an opportunity. No, I would never say that,

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 6>and I mean that sincerely. I tell my kids that

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.880
<v Speaker 6>i'd say publicly, I have too much respect for both

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 6>those players that I would think that I was better

0:26:58.200 --> 0:26:58.640
<v Speaker 6>than they were.

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 2>But if I said, I can wipe away everything you

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>did in hockey, but you would have been a Hall

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 2>of Fame baseball player for the Tigers, and.

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 6>I would have told you I was the greatest baseball

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 6>player ever. I can bragg about my baseball.

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.359
<v Speaker 2>But you told me years ago that you that really was.

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 2>That was a goal. Like you loved the Detroit Tigers.

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I really did. I grew up an Ernie Harwell fan.

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 6>Mickey Lolis. One of the great days of my life.

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 6>I watched Mickey lowlts pitch when I was thirteen, and

0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:33.360
<v Speaker 6>I wrote it in my book. We're playing in Detroit

0:27:33.400 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 6>one day and trainer came in and said, there's a

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:37.719
<v Speaker 6>guy out here that wants to sign his book. Can

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 6>I bring him in? I said, sure, it was Mickey

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 6>Lolis because I wrote the story in the book, and

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 6>so I got a chance to meet him and get

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 6>a picture taken with him. And then through those years,

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 6>you know, Mark the burn Fidrich came and you know,

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 6>and then when Sparky Anderson went to Detroit and they

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:55.960
<v Speaker 6>won the World Series, So I grew up a huge

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:58.399
<v Speaker 6>Tigers fan. Now I love the Blue Jays, but they

0:27:58.400 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 6>weren't there till seventy six, so I'd been fifteen years

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 6>in baseball by the time the Jays were sort of founded.

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Were you starstruck first time you met Jordan?

0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think everybody is. Like I said to me,

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:15.920
<v Speaker 6>the two greatest athletes ever were Michael Jordan Muhammad Ali,

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 6>and I got the chance to be friends with both

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 6>of them. I got a chance to spend a lot

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 6>of time with Muhammad La. I went to New York

0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 6>in nineteen seventy eight when I signed the WHA and

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 6>I was with Gordi Howe and Bobby Hall, and I

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:34.679
<v Speaker 6>was his kid. Just starstruck, right, And We're in the

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.399
<v Speaker 6>Plaza Hotels the first time I'd ever been to New

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.760
<v Speaker 6>York and there I was standing there. Muhammad La came

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 6>over to shake Gordy house hand and I almost fell

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 6>over like that. And then five minutes later, Pat Boone

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 6>came over to say lo to Gordi Howe, and I said,

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 6>is there anybody this guy doesn't know? So he fascinated

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 6>me from the very first time I ever met him.

0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but they have to be starstruck when they meet

0:28:58.280 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you too.

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 6>I don't think so, I hope not, because I'm like you,

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm a normal guy.

0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Well you are. You're so approachable, you know, And I

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 2>liken you to kind of Joe Montana. If people see you,

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 2>they don't realize that guy did what he did in

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 2>his sport. Like you see Montana, he looks like he's

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 2>a kicker. You don't think that's one of the greatest

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks of all time. Like you're disarming because you're very

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 2>generous to people and very gracious.

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, people are nice and listening. I got everything in

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:33.120
<v Speaker 6>my life because of hockey and because of fans. But

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 6>I remember our sons played together, and I used to

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 6>love the fact that Joe was there because we go

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 6>to the high school football games and nobody even cared

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:44.480
<v Speaker 6>that I was. Everybody was bothering and getting pictures with Joe.

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 6>He made my life in high school that much easier.

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 2>But that's I mean, it's been a pretty amazing career.

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 2>But like any goals that, what's left here for you?

0:29:56.440 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I don't know. Right now. I'm proud to or

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 6>five grandchildren and two more on the way. And you

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 6>know families for me now, and you know, I did

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 6>my hockey thing and I loved every minute of it.

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.640
<v Speaker 6>Now I'm a fan. I enjoy being on TNT. They're

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 6>wonderful people and the people we work with. And Liam

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 6>is unbelievable. He's our quarterback and you know he does

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 6>all the legwork and all the heavy lifting. And I

0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 6>just got to sit there and talk hockey. How nice

0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 6>is that you get to sit there and I don't

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 6>have to worry about getting hit or run or knocked

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:35.800
<v Speaker 6>over the head. I can just sit there and have fun.

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:39.719
<v Speaker 2>But you're healthy, very healthy, okay.

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 6>Although like everyone else, you know, I had some pre

0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.800
<v Speaker 6>cancerous things taking off my face in the last few weeks, but.

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 2>But no concussion stuff.

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:49.640
<v Speaker 6>Like if you asked my wife, she would tell you,

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 6>I forget things I just told you an hour ago.

0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 6>You lost that back in those they told you to

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 6>go home, have a beer, go to bed, have an AskMen,

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 6>we'll come and skate at you tomorrow. You'll sweat it out.

0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any pictures of you fighting, like the

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 2>frame photos of you. Yeah, it was going to happen

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 2>very often. I'm curious if I was.

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 6>Talking about my sports Illusterates Trophy. I got one fight

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 6>really in my career. Neil Broughton wasn't even his fault.

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 6>I jumped him. The guy flies from New York and

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:33.720
<v Speaker 6>he's out there giving this presentation about how my sportsmanship,

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:39.800
<v Speaker 6>how I don't fight. First shift in, I'm fighting Neil Broughton.

0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 6>I get to the bench and I'll never get MESSI

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:45.840
<v Speaker 6>said to me, what were you doing? And I said,

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. But Davison Micah says, the good news

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 6>is that's not even a fight. That's called cat fighting,

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 6>so that doesn't count.

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 2>But did you throw a punch?

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.200
<v Speaker 6>I don't even remember. I think I kind of, I

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 6>don't know. We got to the pebbly box and I

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 6>remember I looked over and I said, I'm sorry.

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I apologize Neil.

0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:13.720
<v Speaker 6>I think he's more shocked than the seventeen people at

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:16.840
<v Speaker 6>the game and the nineteen teammates I had on the

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 6>bench going what was that all about? One night we

0:32:19.600 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 6>were playing in Chicago, Bob Murray kind of he's always

0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:24.240
<v Speaker 6>whacking me and hacking me, and I got so mad

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:26.800
<v Speaker 6>at grabbed him and he threw me on the ice

0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 6>and he had his hand like this, and I'm looking

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 6>over at our bench and there's five guys with their

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:35.479
<v Speaker 6>legs over the boards and he's holding me. He goes, now,

0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 6>don't move. I'm not gonna hate you. And I got

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:43.920
<v Speaker 6>back to the bench and I told all the guys,

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:45.720
<v Speaker 6>I said, nobody's allowed to touch him the rest of

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:46.080
<v Speaker 6>the night.

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 2>But did you give like Dave Simenko an extra gift?

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 2>He was your protector. They had to have one on

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 2>each team.

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:57.760
<v Speaker 6>I'm guessing in those days everybody had sort of that guy, right,

0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 6>you know the one I did give him. I gave

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:03.760
<v Speaker 6>him my car that I wanted the All Star Game

0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 6>in nineteen eighty nine and Edmonton, I guess yeah. I

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 6>brought him downstairs after the game. I said, here's the keys,

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 6>so you can have the car. So he was great.

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 6>He was a great teammate to all of us, and

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:18.040
<v Speaker 6>he was beloved by the fans, the fans in Edmonton.

0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 6>He was as big as anybody on that team. They

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 6>loved him to death. And you know, he was witty,

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 6>He was fine, and he didn't really want to fight.

0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 6>He only did it if he had to, if he

0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 6>saw somebody abusing a teammate. He never went looking to

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 6>hurt anybody and that's listen. That's the other thing about

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 6>our league, especially in those days. Those tough guys didn't

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:42.479
<v Speaker 6>want to go hurt guys. They didn't want to go

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 6>after those guys. They fought the big guys, right, They

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 6>fought each other.

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of a code, all right, handicap. The

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:53.920
<v Speaker 2>teams that are left in the playoffs give us like

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:56.280
<v Speaker 2>a tutorial on what do you think is going to

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 2>play out well.

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.360
<v Speaker 6>I like all four teams because I think all four

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 6>teams are well coached, and I think all four teams

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:06.720
<v Speaker 6>right now are getting goaltending. I think Autinger and Bob

0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:09.320
<v Speaker 6>Rovsky have proven to be two of the elite goalies.

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 6>Skinner last year got to the finals and had a

0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 6>good run. He's got two shutouts in a row, so

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:19.560
<v Speaker 6>he seems to be on a roll. Anderson in Carolina,

0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 6>I wasn't. He didn't have a bad game last night,

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:25.400
<v Speaker 6>but he didn't have a great game last night. The

0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:28.000
<v Speaker 6>thing between Carolina and physical I think Carolina is a

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:31.719
<v Speaker 6>little bit faster and they the go, go, go go.

0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:35.960
<v Speaker 6>Florida is smart and disciplined. This general manager has made

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:38.600
<v Speaker 6>some great deals. He's got to chuck. He got Bennett

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 6>traded for Seth Jones or Shawn On and on. So

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:45.480
<v Speaker 6>it's tough to knock out the Stanley Cup champions, right.

0:34:45.560 --> 0:34:48.759
<v Speaker 6>So I like Florida, but Roddy Brunomore and I were

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:52.640
<v Speaker 6>roommates at the Olympics in nineteen ninety eight, so you

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:55.040
<v Speaker 6>know my hurts with him also, and he's done a

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:59.600
<v Speaker 6>phenomenal job. Now everybody knows Edmonton that you know, we're

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 6>my life was made and I always vote for them.

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 6>My brother's the assistant GM. They have the two of

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 6>the best three players in the National Hockey League and

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 6>dry Sidle and McDavid questions the best player in the game.

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:14.279
<v Speaker 6>They're going to have to contain him. Pete de Boor

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:17.839
<v Speaker 6>has done a great job. And Dallas they made incredible

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 6>trade getting Ratting in. I think it changed their team.

0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 6>The team that Dallas is playing Edmonton's playing this year

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.759
<v Speaker 6>in the semi finals. Dallas is a better team than

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.280
<v Speaker 6>they were last year and that series went six games.

0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 6>So this series I predicted those seven games.

0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:35.319
<v Speaker 2>My best your wife and the family. Great to see

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 2>you again and ut.

0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 6>Seeing you, and it's always a pleasure. I hope everything's

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 6>going well for you and your family too.

0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Bud. Good to talk to you.

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:44.879
<v Speaker 6>You guys all take care.

<v Speaker 2>How about that a great one? Bye Fritzy, Yeah jealous Yeah.

0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Wayne was it on the bus last night coming back

0:35:57.040 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 2>from the Emmys, said that I think we got a

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 2>ruling on the tush push and I'm gonna take a

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.280
<v Speaker 2>break my thanks to Wayne gretzkype. We'll take a break

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 2>last call for phone calls, what we learned and maybe

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:13.360
<v Speaker 2>some finality on the tush push.

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:16.719
<v Speaker 1>After this, be sure to catch the live edition of

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:19.879
<v Speaker 1>The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 1>am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 2>We've been waiting for a ruling from the NFL owners

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:33.280
<v Speaker 2>meetings in Minnesota on the tush push where there be modifications?

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Would they get rid of it? And PAULI, do we

0:36:36.920 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 2>have a final answer? Do we want to play the

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 2>tush push game?

0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:44.319
<v Speaker 5>Possibly for the last time, the tush push game?

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 2>All right? Todd? Will the NFL allow the tush push

0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 2>next season?

0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:51.320
<v Speaker 6>The touch push is done?

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Ain't Seaton? I think the tush push was pushed again

0:36:57.880 --> 0:37:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to another vote at some other time that the table.

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:02.880
<v Speaker 4>I think the tush push has still been pushed.

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Marvin, I think they banned it. All right. I'm

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:11.239
<v Speaker 2>going to say they tweaked language, but they banned it.

0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:15.239
<v Speaker 5>According to a number of reporters, the Packers proposal to

0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 5>ban the tush push did not receive the required support.

0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 5>Twenty four NFL owners would have had to vote against

0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:26.399
<v Speaker 5>it to remove it from the game.

0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Twenty two owners voted against it.

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:33.839
<v Speaker 5>Oh Man, there's no other recourse this offseason. It will

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:36.600
<v Speaker 5>stay in the game for the twenty twenty five season.

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:43.680
<v Speaker 5>The Philadelphia Eagles moments ago tweeted out push on with

0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:46.960
<v Speaker 5>the picture of Jalen Hurts against the Packers doing the

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:47.560
<v Speaker 5>tush push.

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, little eleventh hour lobbying going on by the Eagles.

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:57.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, Uh Ray in Texas? Good morning, Ray? What's

0:37:57.680 --> 0:37:58.160
<v Speaker 2>on your mind?

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:00.440
<v Speaker 6>ABP?

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I have a question for you? And then uh from.

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 6>That movie Fight Club?

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:06.720
<v Speaker 2>My favorites.

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:11.000
<v Speaker 7>So, if you could fight a sports figure alive or dead,

0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:12.560
<v Speaker 7>who would it be?

0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:16.720
<v Speaker 5>For example, I fight Bob Costas.

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh I, I don't want to fight anybody. Do you

0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:26.680
<v Speaker 2>guys have somebody you want to fight in the sports media?

0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Is that what he was asking there? Night Club? Yeah?

0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Seat and you got somebody you want to fight, not really. Yeah,

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:35.759
<v Speaker 2>of that. Uh yeah.

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:38.360

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:39.359
<v Speaker 4>me down for a long time.

<v Speaker 2>to have a beef with anybody. David in Ohio, John Clckery.

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:58.040

<v Speaker 10>like Dan Rolowski and I have something else to make

0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:36.560

<v Speaker 12>the greatest hockey player of all time admit that he

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:13.640
<v Speaker 12>apologized in the in the penalty box. Come on, guys,

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:17.799

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:48.360
<v Speaker 11>and her family are huge fans, and I thought you

0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:51.520

0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:55.040
