Speaker 1: streaming partner, and you can download the app and watch
Speaker 1: for free all three hours. We would never charge you
Speaker 1: for this content. We couldn't. Jared Goff, the Lions quarterback,
Speaker 1: will join us. Coming up next hour. NFL is stepping up.
Speaker 1: It's COVID testing the final preseason weekend starting tonight. College
Speaker 1: football starts tomorrow. It's not Week one, it's called Week zero.
Speaker 1: But this is sort of that introductory offer with college football.
Speaker 1: You know you're not going to be in the great seats.
Speaker 1: You're in the mezzanine. You're not in orchestra. You're in
Speaker 1: the mezzanine. That's what college football. Come on in. We
Speaker 1: got some games. I don't know if they're that good.
Speaker 1: Ucla Hawaii, you get Illinois against Nebraska. Yeah. So Week zero,
Speaker 1: the official Week one starts next week. In college football mclovin,
Speaker 1: what's the poll question? I started out with the division
Speaker 1: poll worst division in football, AFC East, I'm sorry, NFC East,
Speaker 1: AFC South, and just based on the Vegas totals, the
Speaker 1: NFC North was pretty low too, but the NFC Easts
Speaker 1: ran away. It's like seventy eight percent. Yeah, there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of expectations. Used to be the high profile
Speaker 1: division and now nothing. Well. Also with the NFC North,
Speaker 1: Green Bay is going to be good, I don't know
Speaker 1: if they'll be great. Minnesota feels like they could be good.
Speaker 1: Bears not going to be good. They might be average,
Speaker 1: and Detroit will be below average. Yeah, i'm the club,
Speaker 1: But would you be shocked if the Vikings fell off?
Speaker 1: I don't know or they headed because maybe it's all
Speaker 1: the COVID Kirk Cousins stuff, but it seems like a
Speaker 1: lot of negative stuff coming out of that well, you
Speaker 1: also have to factor in what's going on in Buffalo
Speaker 1: and what's going on with the Tennessee Titans, because you know,
Speaker 1: we're not very far away from the start of the
Speaker 1: NFL opening season here, and you got issues with the
Speaker 1: Titans and certainly have issues with the Buffalo Bills. And
Speaker 1: the NFL is not messing around this year. Like last
Speaker 1: year it was fluid. They were trying to figure this out.
Speaker 1: How do we do this? I think there were only
Speaker 1: eight games that were rescheduled in the NFL last year.
Speaker 1: That pretty good odds considering we didn't know what we
Speaker 1: had and how to deal with it. But this year
Speaker 1: they this is bottom line. You know these now they're forfeits.
Speaker 1: And this is where the owners go, Okay, we survived
Speaker 1: last year. We want pup on the stands. We want
Speaker 1: football games. And if you're Buffalo in Tennessee and some
Speaker 1: of these players coaches aren't vaccinated, now you start to
Speaker 1: lose paychecks. That is where it's we're gonna have. We
Speaker 1: could have some chaos here, all right. So that's the
Speaker 1: poll question. You're gonna stay with that poll question. I
Speaker 1: think we should probably switch it up. I did, like
Speaker 1: the guy said, would you rather watch NFL preseason Week
Speaker 1: three or Week zero? Now, the funny thing is you
Speaker 1: got to say week zero, right, yes, but the ratings
Speaker 1: will probably be better for preseason week three. If you
Speaker 1: haven't already gotten a copy of Roger Bennett's number one
Speaker 1: New York Times bestseller, Reborn in the USA and Englishman's
Speaker 1: Love Letter to his Chosen Home, Please Do available online
Speaker 1: wherever books are sold. And the Star one of the
Speaker 1: stars of Men and Blazer's co host on NBC Sports
Speaker 1: dot Com. He's a podcaster, filmmaker, all around good guy.
Speaker 1: And we thought we got some drama here going on
Speaker 1: in soccer right now. And wait, you're in a Chicago
Speaker 1: Bears had, Old School Bears had Super Bowl twenty Bears had.
Speaker 1: It's happening. This is anyway, when you said in your recap,
Speaker 1: which I had to listen to, when you said the Bears,
Speaker 1: I think they could be average, I've got to be honest.
Speaker 1: I'd bite your arm off for average right now. I
Speaker 1: really really would, but I'm feeling quite bullish. This is.
Speaker 1: I love the way you noticed the hat and you
Speaker 1: didn't notice that I didn't even know it was meat Friday,
Speaker 1: and good lord, where I am dressed for it in
Speaker 1: in my Meat Friday track suit. You have an Arby's
Speaker 1: track suit and it looks like a piece of roast beef.
Speaker 1: There I've actually got. It's a full track suit. I
Speaker 1: wrote it in my book about how the first time
Speaker 1: is a fifteen year old I ate Arby's and just
Speaker 1: the taste of that beef dip tasted like democracy and
Speaker 1: freedom and so below. And behold Arby's possibly the greatest
Speaker 1: press they've had in about thirty years. I received from
Speaker 1: Arby's a full meat track suit which I wear often.
Speaker 1: And your Jesus just told me a little like Lady Gaga.
Speaker 1: Well she did have that outfit where she actually had
Speaker 1: meat as her outfit. Yeah, she wore it. Well, we
Speaker 1: won't even do it. Who wore it better? I'll give
Speaker 1: it to her. Look like a bull, I'll take it.
Speaker 1: I'll be the bulled Lady Gaga. But it's enjoined me
Speaker 1: with you on meat Fridays. As football, the world of
Speaker 1: football eats itself down. Patrick. Um, you know, before we
Speaker 1: get to soccer here, I went on my honeymoon to
Speaker 1: London in Scotland and when I got the food was horrible.
Speaker 1: So this is I'm coming up on my thirty fourth
Speaker 1: wedding anniversary this weekend, and I just remember I ated
Speaker 1: Pizza Hut almost the whole time I was in London.
Speaker 1: Has the food gotten better in London? When you said
Speaker 1: pizza Hut, fifteen year old me was like, oh, that's
Speaker 1: a humble bracket said in England when I grew up,
Speaker 1: I want you today. Pizza was a Michelin star restaurant. Stars.
Speaker 1: You know. In my book, I write about when McDonald's opened.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid in Liverpool, we would drive
Speaker 1: for hours to go to the nearest McDonald's. Like you
Speaker 1: would drive for three or four hours. It would be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, to be a line around the block.
Speaker 1: You'd see the golden arches and it would be like
Speaker 1: the Simpsons, Oh noise. You drop to your knees. You
Speaker 1: would wait patiently. You get to the front, the person
Speaker 1: would be like what do you want? You'd be like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? When I one, I want the
Speaker 1: whole bloody menu And then you would sit there for
Speaker 1: hours until a food come coma of just meet gristle
Speaker 1: and utter crap and filled your belly and you looked
Speaker 1: at the styrofoam castle that was in front of you,
Speaker 1: and you were like America, you hit the best, you
Speaker 1: at the best of all. That's why your marriage has
Speaker 1: lasted thirty four years? Can you set expectations low and
Speaker 1: all right? As you point out, football has gone a
Speaker 1: bit bonkers here, Oh my god, where are we right
Speaker 1: now with with Christiano Ronaldo? I don't know. Christiano and Aldo,
Speaker 1: who your viewers may know, is really essentially a bottle
Speaker 1: of drakon war made into human flesh. One of the
Speaker 1: world's greatest footballers, thirty six years old now, I mean
Speaker 1: just still an elite athlete, still scoring goals. Is game
Speaker 1: has changed. He's no longer the all round footballer who
Speaker 1: can dominate games. He now kind of hangs around the
Speaker 1: area on the counter, scores a ton. He wants away
Speaker 1: from Juventus. He said his goodbyes to Italian powerhouse Juventus.
Speaker 1: I imagine him sittling, sitting on a plane, just idling
Speaker 1: on the tarmat, trying to work out where the heck
Speaker 1: he's going to go, probably plucking his eyebrows to kill
Speaker 1: the time. And right now will football has become insane?
Speaker 1: You remember the Super League, don't you? Damn you remember?
Speaker 1: Cast your mind about those many years ago. That's what
Speaker 1: it feels like to the super League failed. That was
Speaker 1: But now what I realize is the Super League was
Speaker 1: really an effort by the second level of superpower teams,
Speaker 1: many of them owned by American owners Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United,
Speaker 1: even Barcelona and Real Madrid. They felt threatened by the
Speaker 1: upper echelon of super super teams PSG Paris and your
Speaker 1: Man Chelsea, and also Manchester City, one owned by an
Speaker 1: Oli Guard the other two owned by sovereign states who
Speaker 1: have limitless financing that no one else can keep up with,
Speaker 1: and they have essentially stretched the market. They're willing to
Speaker 1: pay wages beyond belief no one else can compete. And
Speaker 1: so the reality is with Christiano Ronaldo, who is really
Speaker 1: more a Instagram platform than a football He's an excellent footballer,
Speaker 1: but just the Instagram, the social media grand platform that
Speaker 1: he is. That's why teams currently wanted more than anything.
Speaker 1: There's very few places that he can actually go. It
Speaker 1: was thought, who was going to go to Manchester City
Speaker 1: which has already got just a glut of United? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's chaos. Is a ladder world Football dam
Speaker 1: has essentially become the equivalent of watching Bezos, Branson and
Speaker 1: Musk compete to send phallic rockets towards the moon. There's
Speaker 1: like three teams were essentially just cheering for Excel balance sheets.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Messi or Ronaldo? I'd rather I'd
Speaker 1: rather have a young gentleman with a huge Right now,
Speaker 1: there's a player and Bape about to leave Paris and
Speaker 1: Jaman they go to Real Madrid because Messi has arrived.
Speaker 1: These two are massive brand platforms. They're incredibly aged. Deep
Speaker 1: respect to Tom Brady going to Tampa Bay. But football
Speaker 1: is at such a cohesive game. You need players at
Speaker 1: the elite level who can now play both ends, play
Speaker 1: ninety minutes backwards, and for neither of those gentlemen can
Speaker 1: do it. I adore Messi in this argument. Essentially, there's
Speaker 1: two kinds of fans, those who do believe in plucking
Speaker 1: their eyebrows deeply, those who don't. If you are in
Speaker 1: the former, you adore and revere the godlike Ronaldo. If
Speaker 1: you don't, you love the super cuts approach to life
Speaker 1: of line message. We are blessed. We are blessed who
Speaker 1: have been alive to watch both of them men play
Speaker 1: and when they both go. You know, we've taken their
Speaker 1: just consistent, superlative excellence for granted. But they're both now
Speaker 1: in a situation where they are so big there's only
Speaker 1: one or two clubs they can go to. There's essentially
Speaker 1: a secret VIP room within football's VIP room, and that's
Speaker 1: where they've both gotten themselves into. But God bless them both,
Speaker 1: they've given us incredible to us. I don't know where
Speaker 1: Ronaldo is going to go, and that idea of him
Speaker 1: on the plane just anxiously waiting, and my lord, that
Speaker 1: plane ends up in MLS in America, it will be hilarious.
Speaker 1: Oh he's not ready for that. Yeah, you know, the
Speaker 1: reality is there could be a plan c If I've
Speaker 1: got a feeling Manchester United will take him for a
Speaker 1: variety of reasons. Manchester United owned by the Tampa Bay owners,
Speaker 1: the Glazers. That's where he came through as a youth.
Speaker 1: It's a fine fitting legacy to end his career. They
Speaker 1: truly need a gentleman. Their team is highly paid, it's
Speaker 1: got so many stars, it's not quite cohesive. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just to be. It will be hilarious to watch
Speaker 1: him wash up there. But very soon, very soon, both
Speaker 1: of those gentlemen could well come here because MLS is
Speaker 1: not a footballing challenge, but to dominate America that final
Speaker 1: brand play for your legacy, to come here and set
Speaker 1: up a brand deal with shape weights a Ronaldo doing
Speaker 1: a shape Weight commercial, QVC God, that will be, that
Speaker 1: will be I did that as shape weights. Just be clear, America.
Speaker 1: That is that. That is the future that I want
Speaker 1: to see. Better career run Honor or Tom Brady, Damn.
Speaker 1: I mean they're both. They have both rewritten or understanding
Speaker 1: of aging athletes. They have both superlative competitors. They are both,
Speaker 1: you know, so disciplined in their approach to the game.
Speaker 1: Better looking, better looking, for that would be one that
Speaker 1: you know. The reality is I believe, I believe, and
Speaker 1: I've only met him once. Ronaldo still has all of
Speaker 1: his own hair, so I am, you know, as a
Speaker 1: Bears fan. One of the things that upsets me most
Speaker 1: in life, Dan Patrick, is I love the city of Chicago.
Speaker 1: It's my spiritual home. I yearned to be there and
Speaker 1: whenever I land at the airport, as I did a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, to go and throw out a
Speaker 1: pitch at the White sox you land, you have that
Speaker 1: joy of being home, and then all the way in
Speaker 1: on the road from the airport to the city, you
Speaker 1: are taunted by Brian Erlacer pitching hair transplants. There's nothing
Speaker 1: that annoys me more because that man I idolize, that
Speaker 1: man balder Lacker was put him on the pedestal, newly, freshly,
Speaker 1: fakely haired brander Lacker. Frankly, he's gone a bit off
Speaker 1: the rails. And so I do think if you, if you,
Speaker 1: if you go into that, if you steroid your hair,
Speaker 1: you do lose style points. So I've got to go.
Speaker 1: I've got to go with Ronnie. But both of those
Speaker 1: human beings. Ultimately what you worship is that and for
Speaker 1: that the rage eating of one almond when you lose
Speaker 1: a game allowed that kind of discipline, um is why
Speaker 1: what I revere about that, it's the opposite of meat. Essentially.
Speaker 1: In my meeting Albe's Traxie, I love it. Hey, congrats
Speaker 1: on the book. It's great to talk to you. You
Speaker 1: you cleared it all up there. We know, we know
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on in soccer right now. Yeah. Me. Essentially,
Speaker 1: it's bezos, it's ransom, it's musk It's fell it rockets
Speaker 1: to the moon. Thank you, buddy. A muzzles off on
Speaker 1: your wedding thirty four years ago. Dan Patrick Courage Much
Speaker 1: Much Nuggers, Roger Bennett, Men and Blazer's co host on

Speaker 1: Oh wow, he's That's one of those where he's got
Speaker 1: so many and I don't even know what it is
Speaker 1: in his brain where he just like firing off. You know,
Speaker 1: you're touching on this, touch on that you over here, boom.
Speaker 1: It's like a pinball machine in his brain. Yes time.
Speaker 1: And the fascinating way he describes things like Ronaldo is
Speaker 1: like a bottle of your carnoir come to life. Very
Speaker 1: very creative with the words. Didn't he go into he
Speaker 1: wanted to get the hotel room that Ronaldo had stayed in. Yes,
Speaker 1: but he came in twelve hours after and it still
Speaker 1: smelled like your car. It smelled like Ronaldo. Does Ronaldo
Speaker 1: have his own cologne? He has to, definitely does he
Speaker 1: have it? Like I haven't. I don't know what you know,
Speaker 1: Brady has stetson, but I I'm just curious if CR
Speaker 1: seven is that what it is? I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure he doesn't. You've actually called CR seven. He's
Speaker 1: got body sprays, he's got cologns. CR seven by Chris
Speaker 1: Jao Ronaldo. We should get some dude's making money. Oh
Speaker 1: yeah he is, Yeah, yeah, all right, we'll take a break.

Speaker 1: have been with us on this show, we know you
Speaker 1: know that we have some temporary hosts who come in
Speaker 1: fill in, and one of the people that I sought
Speaker 1: out myself, Glenn Ordway, a long long time Boston radio
Speaker 1: host for WEI for over thirty years, and Ed always
Speaker 1: had great respect for him. He was a radio voice
Speaker 1: of the Celtics and an afternoon host at w EI
Speaker 1: for about thirty four years. Had his last show yesterday
Speaker 1: on the radio, and I thought, you know what, there
Speaker 1: aren't many of us left who have been doing this
Speaker 1: a long time and have great respect for w EI,
Speaker 1: and certainly Glenn Ordway and Glenn joins us. Now, Glenn,
Speaker 1: how'd you come up with a decision to call it
Speaker 1: a career. Well, first of all, thank you very much, Dan,
Speaker 1: and second of all, hello to all the Dannets. I
Speaker 1: miss you guys dearly. You know, when you do it
Speaker 1: this long forty eight years and you will come to
Speaker 1: this day one day as well, you sit there and say,
Speaker 1: you know how much life do you have left? Do
Speaker 1: I want to go in there and do this every
Speaker 1: single day. I've got to watch four games every single night.
Speaker 1: You've got to read everything, prepare And I said, I
Speaker 1: still can keep my hand in it, do it, and
Speaker 1: yet I don't have to do it every single day.
Speaker 1: And they're giving me that opportunity. I asked for that opportunity,
Speaker 1: and it's perfect and I'm looking forward to the next
Speaker 1: challenges here in my life. So it's great. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: what are you going to do when that big story
Speaker 1: in Boston breaks and you're not on the radio to
Speaker 1: be able to dive into it. I haven't thought about that.
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean, I'll find a way of sneaking
Speaker 1: on the air. I'll call us a frank caller or
Speaker 1: something like that. I'll find a way to be able
Speaker 1: to do it, because you're right, you can't. You know,
Speaker 1: especially with Boston and the emotion of passion that you
Speaker 1: know of that town, it is hard to separate. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm gonna have difficulty doing that. But we'll
Speaker 1: see how it goes. The biggest story that you were
Speaker 1: around covered in the last let's say thirty four years Boston. See,
Speaker 1: I would tell you this if I were working in
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, it would be very easy. I could throw
Speaker 1: one at you. When you work in Boston and over
Speaker 1: the last twenty years with maybe the greatest run a
Speaker 1: city has ever ever had of winning teams, it's hard
Speaker 1: to do. Two thousand and four Red Sox go eighty
Speaker 1: six years of failure without ever winning, came close, couldn't win.
Speaker 1: We can go through all of these different you know
Speaker 1: points in history. To me, O four was pivotal. It
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. The Patriot says, you know, used to be
Speaker 1: a disaster of a franchise. Twenty five thousand people. He
Speaker 1: had the worst attendance of any team in the NFL
Speaker 1: in Boston. You couldn't watch home games. They were blacked out.
Speaker 1: Look at them now. I mean, there's so many different
Speaker 1: moments people have asked me that question, Dan, It's impossible
Speaker 1: to pick one. But when they were down three oz
Speaker 1: to the Yankees two thousand and four, everybody, everybody was
Speaker 1: felt like the town was saying, oh, once again, another
Speaker 1: year done. They were done. None years. We all thought
Speaker 1: they were done. We did. And I would say that
Speaker 1: is one of those moments, one of those pivotal moments.
Speaker 1: You sit there and you look back at you down
Speaker 1: three h and you get blown out in that last game.
Speaker 1: How the hell are they going to come back? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say that might be one of the biggest turnarounds.
Speaker 1: And you tell me, in all of professional sports, the
Speaker 1: history of professional sports, they were done toast most important
Speaker 1: athlete in your thirty four years at w EI in Boston.
Speaker 1: This guy that his quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Right,
Speaker 1: that was pretty good. Okay, how about I take him out?
Speaker 1: Why the greatest football player of all time? If you
Speaker 1: take him out, I would say, then we're looking at
Speaker 1: Larry Bird, We're looking at Bobby Yore. Does David Ortiz
Speaker 1: get in there? He does, But because he was the
Speaker 1: designated hitter, you probably view him a little bit differently
Speaker 1: because he wasn't out there in the field. But as
Speaker 1: far as Red Sox players go, Ted Williams was a
Speaker 1: better overall player than David Ortiz. David Ortiz had a
Speaker 1: bigger impact in Boston as a member of the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: Give me the Patriots story that you don't have the
Speaker 1: full story on Malcolm Butler. Why did he not start?
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times to have asked
Speaker 1: Bill that question and he won't reveal it. I've really
Speaker 1: come to the conclusion that had everything to do with football,
Speaker 1: and it had nothing to do with anything else. I mean,
Speaker 1: and when Belichick doesn't reveal stuff to you, you think
Speaker 1: the worst. You think, Oh, there's got to be something
Speaker 1: happened here, right, And I think it really comes down
Speaker 1: to football. I think it comes down to big receiver
Speaker 1: matchup that they didn't believe he could get it done,
Speaker 1: and he was having during the course of the week
Speaker 1: some physical sickness problems. He was in the hospital for
Speaker 1: a few days. I just don't think they thought he
Speaker 1: was ready. If they won the Super Bowl, would we
Speaker 1: know the story of why Malcolm Butler did not play.
Speaker 1: Probably would have a better chance. But you know Belichick, Dan,
Speaker 1: he's not going to reveal anything. And it's funny. I
Speaker 1: tell people all the time, well, we'll get it in
Speaker 1: the book. Nah, you won't get it. But I respect him, though, Glenn,
Speaker 1: because if I'm a player, he's not dishing on you.
Speaker 1: And a lot of these coaches, you know, they can
Speaker 1: be saying something to somebody, who says something to somebody
Speaker 1: and then it gets to the media. Bill doesn't strike
Speaker 1: me as that guy, like, we still don't know how
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo got traded, do we? We do not. But
Speaker 1: I think it's been overplayed where people say, and I
Speaker 1: think I can say this with some confidence that it's
Speaker 1: been overplayed when people say that Bob Kraft forced his
Speaker 1: hand to do it. I think he loved Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: I think Bill thought that Jimmy Garoppolo could be the
Speaker 1: replacement for Tom Brady, but he also realized it was
Speaker 1: just bad timing. The time he didn't work, tom Brady
Speaker 1: was not ready to expire, and as it turns out,
Speaker 1: he wasn't ready to expire a year ago when they
Speaker 1: separated from each other. We're seeing that now. What role
Speaker 1: do you think Brady had and Jimmy Garoppolo, if any
Speaker 1: getting traded. I don't think he had much. I really don't.
Speaker 1: I think you're starting to hear a different Tom Brady
Speaker 1: right now. I notice a different Tom Brady. Tom Brady
Speaker 1: is free to talk right now in Tampa and I
Speaker 1: think you would have heard a lot more about some
Speaker 1: of that stuff if Tom Brady had a role in it.
Speaker 1: I think Brady when he says the role I'm just
Speaker 1: the employee. I go and do my job, I think
Speaker 1: that's what his role was there. I think he has
Speaker 1: a much different role now in Tampa Bay. He's got
Speaker 1: a voice. You know, obviously arians listens to him, maybe
Speaker 1: gives him a lot of rope, and I think you're
Speaker 1: seeing that being passed along to people like Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: and how he views his position in Green Bay now.
Speaker 1: Do you have a go to Larry Bird story? I
Speaker 1: have a bunch of go to Larry Bird's stories because
Speaker 1: he was pretty damn good. I'll give you the We're
Speaker 1: talking about the greatness of Larry Bird and the difference
Speaker 1: of athletes thinking about statistics. We're playing in Salt Lake
Speaker 1: City one night, Larry Bird has got a triple double.
Speaker 1: He is, I think one assist away from a quadruple double,
Speaker 1: which is you know, is a rarity in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Celtics are up by like twenty four points or whatever.
Speaker 1: Most athletes would say, screw it, I'm going back out
Speaker 1: there on the floor. It was the end of the
Speaker 1: third quarter. All you had to do is come up
Speaker 1: for ad minute of the fourth quarter and he could
Speaker 1: have picked up that additional assist. Most athletes would sit
Speaker 1: there and say give it to me. Larry Bird said,
Speaker 1: I'm done. The coaches said, no, no, you got to
Speaker 1: go back in here. You want to assist a shy
Speaker 1: he goes work by twenty four points? What are we
Speaker 1: doing here? And he said no, I won't go in.
Speaker 1: But were you courtside when you were doing play by
Speaker 1: play for the Celtics, like, could you hear what was
Speaker 1: going on on the floor. Yeah, I was courtside because
Speaker 1: in the road at home, we were high above courtside
Speaker 1: at the TV garden. And you remember Johnny Most, and
Speaker 1: I worked with Johnny for seven years to great play
Speaker 1: by play voice of the Celtics. When Larry Bird would
Speaker 1: check into a game in the old days stand on
Speaker 1: the road, Johnny was a chain smoke. He lit himself
Speaker 1: on fire one night, and he kept the cigarettes, kept
Speaker 1: the cigarettes underneath the table, underneath the desk. When Bird
Speaker 1: would check into the game, he would drive Johnny crazy.
Speaker 1: He would steal his cigarettes and he would take him
Speaker 1: down to the official score and drop him off there. Wait,
Speaker 1: so Johnny Most set himself on fire during a game twice, Yeah, twice,
Speaker 1: so he would have He was a chain spoker, so
Speaker 1: he had two cigarettes going. He had one going in
Speaker 1: front of him, but that was going That cigarette was
Speaker 1: going to go out, so we had to have a
Speaker 1: second one ready to go, so he would like two
Speaker 1: of them. The problem was he dropped one of them
Speaker 1: right on the crutch of his pants, pauly yester pants,
Speaker 1: that may head and they went up like in an
Speaker 1: oil blazing fire. I'm proud to know you congratulations on
Speaker 1: a wonderful run, and I hope you keep in touch. Glenn,
Speaker 1: thank you for all you did for this show and
Speaker 1: certainly what you did for the city of Boston. Dan,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, and I really appreciate your support
Speaker 1: over the years. He's been great, bit a good friend.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Glenn Ordway WEI Boston radio host for thirty
Speaker 1: four years. Well, there's a lot of stories cover the
Speaker 1: last thirty four years in Boston, but being the afternoon
Speaker 1: drive host at w EI, been there for all of those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Paul I looked up that Larry Bird game he was
Speaker 1: talking about is eighty five against the Jazz Bird in
Speaker 1: three quarters, had thirty points, twelve rebounds, tennessis and nine
Speaker 1: steals and refused to go back in the game. He said. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: he told the press, I already did enough damage. There
Speaker 1: are certain athletes that I've been around who didn't care
Speaker 1: about their stats. We're so stats heavy crazy, we're drunk
Speaker 1: with stats now. And my favorite story and one of
Speaker 1: my favorite athletes I was ever around, was Barry Sanders.
Speaker 1: Because I think Barry could he could have averaged two
Speaker 1: thousand yards this season. I truly believe that. When's the
Speaker 1: last time anytime you saw somebody get a good hit
Speaker 1: on Barry Sanders really really really rare. He had a
Speaker 1: chance to win the rushing title and I think he
Speaker 1: only needed like five yards to has Christian o'coye. The
Speaker 1: Chiefs and I think they noticed this in the last
Speaker 1: game on the sidelines and like, you know, you want
Speaker 1: to go back in, and Barry goes, no, give give
Speaker 1: my back up a chance. He passed up a chance
Speaker 1: to beat Christian o'coye for the rushing title because it
Speaker 1: didn't mean anything to him. He just wanted to win.
Speaker 1: He was at Oklahoma State, they were a good team,
Speaker 1: not a great team, and he goes to the Lions.
Speaker 1: They were good at times, but never greg and he
Speaker 1: just got tired of losing. That's why he walked away.
Speaker 1: And he was always a decoy at the goal line.
Speaker 1: I never understood this. He didn't understand it because I go,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they keep you in at the goal line,
Speaker 1: even as a decoy, And he never understood it. You
Speaker 1: have that kind of weapon there, the ability to jump over,
Speaker 1: you know, the line, like Walter Payton used to do.
Speaker 1: I mean Barry ended up with ninety nine touchdowns. I
Speaker 1: think good. I mean there's probably twenty more that he
Speaker 1: left out there because they get down, you know, inside
Speaker 1: the five, and then you know Wayne Fonts would take
Speaker 1: him out, didn't even leave him in. Yeah, yeah, point
Speaker 1: the one that Larry Bird said he didn't care about. Remember,
Speaker 1: Kevin McHale was on the show at the former Celtic Rate.
Speaker 1: He told us a story. I think it was March
Speaker 1: of eighty five. Michael goes for fifty six points, which
Speaker 1: was the all time Celtics scoring record for a game,
Speaker 1: and after the game, Larry Birds and the media he
Speaker 1: should have gone for sixty. Mcale told us that after
Speaker 1: the game, Bird says something like, don't get too comfortable.
Speaker 1: And six days later Birds scored sixty. That was the
Speaker 1: New Orleans game. Yes, but against the Jazz, against the
Speaker 1: Yeah Hawks in New Orleans. Yes, Oh my god. Yeah, mclone.
Speaker 1: By the way, you just made a lot of fantasy
Speaker 1: football players angry. Just that. The word Wayne Fonts is
Speaker 1: a curse word in fantasy circles because you draft Barry
Speaker 1: number one and he pulled him from the goal line. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you remember how how frustrating that was as a
Speaker 1: fantasy player. Oh and I my started fantasy in eighty
Speaker 1: two eight nineteen eighty two, eighties three. I think it
Speaker 1: was my first year in fantasy, and I might be
Speaker 1: off a year, but I remember I had this is
Speaker 1: when Kelvin Bryant, he had come over from the USFL
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Stars. I had Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders with
Speaker 1: the Redskins, the pious scoring offense. I ended up winning,
Speaker 1: But that was the year that I had Nie one
Speaker 1: of the years I had knee surgery. But I checked
Speaker 1: myself out of a hospital in New York and like
Speaker 1: it's one of those where you see somebody unhooked stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm unhooking stuff to get out out of the hospital
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to get home to Brooklyn to do
Speaker 1: a fantasy draft. And I remember I'm on the subway
Speaker 1: on crutches on Vicoden, and I have fantasy football magazines
Speaker 1: with me, and I get out of the subway at
Speaker 1: West four Street and back then they had phone booths
Speaker 1: there and I'm standing on the curb on crutches on
Speaker 1: vicating and I did my fantasy draft and ended up winning.
Speaker 1: Respect you're a warrior, Yeah yeah. The next day I
Speaker 1: had to ask who I drafted because I didn't remember Yestown.
Speaker 1: To the medical community, I think frowns upon that. I
Speaker 1: think that's a discharged process for the safety and well being.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. You were on vicating and you
Speaker 1: picked two guys from the fun Bunch. Kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1: You're totally. It's weird how impactful fantasy was for me.
Speaker 1: I get took over my life. I remember there was NASCAR,
Speaker 1: there was golf, baseball, football, basketball, and you know, I
Speaker 1: embarrassingly made a trade while I was on Sports Center.
Speaker 1: I remember making a trade. Is it a bad trade?
Speaker 1: Why were you embarrassed? Because I'm doing Sports Center and
Speaker 1: I'm making a trade. I think I don't know who
Speaker 1: was my co anchor, might have been Oberman, and I'm
Speaker 1: I remember, I'm trying to make a trade. Glenn Rice
Speaker 1: is involved, but Tumbo's involved, and Stacy Augman is involved,
Speaker 1: and I just like then, I knew I had a problem.
Speaker 1: That's when I knew I needed to go into it.
Speaker 1: Like they don't have rehab for fantasy, because I should
Speaker 1: have gone into it. I know they have rehab for gambling,
Speaker 1: and I probably should have gone into that too. Yeah, McLevin,
Speaker 1: that's weird. I didn't know you were a competitive person
Speaker 1: and co figure. Uh. Let me get a couple of
Speaker 1: phone calls in here Bob and Florida joining us on
Speaker 1: the program. Hi, Bob, what's on your mind today? Yeah?

Speaker 1: could use a nice season here. Mcleven, you're gonna stay
Speaker 1: with the poll question from the first two I put up.
Speaker 1: I just put up would you rather watch college football
Speaker 1: this weekend or NFL preseason? And college football is winning seventy?
Speaker 1: I have a question. Okay, are Yukon in Freso State
Speaker 1: in the same division? Is that why they're playing? I'm
Speaker 1: in same conference? Sorry, I don't think they are. But
Speaker 1: remember there was a time where they were having like
Speaker 1: West Coast teams at East Coast teams. I can't follow it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not where it used to be. Hey,
Speaker 1: you got to be sort of in the same region,
Speaker 1: even the same time zone. Wasn't Connecticut with like the
Speaker 1: AAF for something. I think they are there in the
Speaker 1: a American Athletic Conference right now. I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: out who else is in here. Philip Rivers won his
Speaker 1: first game as a high school head coach. He uh
Speaker 1: want to know and he's uh coaching Saint Michael Catholic Cardinals.
Speaker 1: He won one hundred and thirty four regular season games
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, and uh he had his first win.
Speaker 1: That was last night, Yes time, that outcome was touch
Speaker 1: and go. He had to make some tough coaching decisions.
Speaker 1: Later heard, Yeah, forty nine and nothing come on time?
Speaker 1: Did the Yeah State by the way, Mountain West, Mountain West. Okay? Oh, no,
Speaker 1: I thought we were talking about Connecticut. What conference? Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: the American Athletic Conference. Are they still in there? Connecticut?
Speaker 1: I have no idea they bounce out. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: That's why you know we have one Double A. But
Speaker 1: it just feels like and you have Division two. Division
Speaker 1: three gets a lot of publicity when it comes to
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But it just feels like we're going to
Speaker 1: get to that. There's forty schools, thirty two, thirty four schools,
Speaker 1: and then there's gonna be another grouping of college football
Speaker 1: teams and then you'll have one Double A. It just
Speaker 1: seems like that's inevitable here all right. Oh, Connecticut's independent? Independent?
Speaker 1: Is that because nobody wants them? I don't know. They
Speaker 1: left the glamor of the A, the AC, the A
Speaker 1: C by the way, had this makes a lot of
Speaker 1: senses lineup Cincinnati, UCF, Tulsa, Tulane, Temple, SMU, South Florida,
Speaker 1: Navy out of Nowhere, Memphis in Houston. They're all over
Speaker 1: the place. Yeah, mcln. How can a school like Ukon
Speaker 1: can't be elite a football like they had a couple
Speaker 1: of years, like and Rudkurts too, Like, why can't these
Speaker 1: big Northeast schools with all their money. I think in
Speaker 1: the Northeast it's just it's difficult. It's college basketball country.
Speaker 1: I mean even at Yukon. I mean that's it's a
Speaker 1: basketball school men and women's. I don't know, like they
Speaker 1: Connecticut's had a little bit of success sprinkled in there,
Speaker 1: but not much. Yeah, poem. But even schools like them,
Speaker 1: you get one great quarterback recruit like a Dan Orlovski
Speaker 1: when he was there made them relevant. You know, remember
Speaker 1: Vandy when they had Jay Cutler. Yeah, I think they
Speaker 1: went seven and four one year, But that's nuts for
Speaker 1: in Vandy go seven and four. Yeah, they would take
Speaker 1: that every year. Make sure you check out the Emmy

Speaker 1: Football Association that would become the NFL, the ACME Packers
Speaker 1: of Green Bay. This is nineteen twenty one. Joe Morgan
Speaker 1: becomes the first player with two hundred career home runs
Speaker 1: five hundred stolen bases. Let me see what else do
Speaker 1: we have here? The Brewers in Blue Jay's game is
Speaker 1: stopped in the fifth inning a giant swarm of gnats
Speaker 1: descends through the open sky dome roof. The problem is
Speaker 1: lessened by closing the roof and turning up the air conditioning.
Speaker 1: The game resumed after a thirty five minute delay. But
Speaker 1: didn't job of Chamberlain. Didn't the Nats attack him in Cleveland?
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I'm reading it's midges. They were called
Speaker 1: midges with job of which are basically Nats. Okay? Are
Speaker 1: they like a bigger version of a Nat or a
Speaker 1: smaller version? Yeah? I'm just curious. It is a meat Friday.
