1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We had a lot of snow overnight. You 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: know what's interesting when you know the weather forecasters will say, hey, 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: expect a blizzard here, and then it doesn't happen, and 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: then we're mad at the weather forecasters. So last night, 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: those who predict the weather said maybe three to five inches. 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: Well it's probably eight to ten. So now we're mad 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: at them, like they underestimated. It's when they overestimate and 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: you're like, oh do you see that? They were so 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: wrong about the blizzard and then now they go maybe 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: three to five inches and you get eight to ten 12 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: and they're like, oh did you see that? And they 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: missed it so badly? Like do you want? And I 14 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: like two that. People are like, you got one job. 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: How hard is it to figure out the web? It's impossible. 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: It's the weather. Who the hell knows what clouds are doing? Do? 17 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: It's impossible in all serieses? Do you think some weathercasters 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: will kick it a little higher? It's less like always, 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: Like you know, how you lie about your height as 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: a quarterback. If you thought it's gonna be five inches, 21 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: do you say eight to kind of make people care 22 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: about the weather, or you'd be prepared. I think you 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: always go to the extreme skew higher. Yes, absolutely, yes, time, 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: but there's no real repercussions. They could just stay. At 25 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: the last minute of curved to the right, or their 26 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: jet stream took it that way, so they could. They 27 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: always have an excuse as to why they've told you 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: one thing and at the last minute it changed course 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: for some reason. And there's always the guy who's got 30 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: the truck that he is prepared for this day. You know, 31 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: he can go fifty miles an hour. He's got the 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: Winner tires, He's got like sixty eight lights on his truck, 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: and like he's blinding everyone by the way, and he 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: is I'm a badass. Yeah, this is why I got 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: the truck here. Meanwhile, I got my flashers on and 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm driving like I'm ninety years of age. Like this 37 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: guy's right on my tail. Yes, Paul Dan, I'm not 38 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: saying I'm that guy, but I'm that guy's like little brother. 39 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. I'd like to be prepared. 40 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: I got the snow tires on it. If people are 41 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: going too slow. I kind of pushed the envelope a 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm kind of that guy. Sure, I know, 43 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: all right, we'll settle on a pole. Question. If you'd 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: like to help Fritzie, you can. You can dial us 45 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: up and make your suggestion. Let's get to Sean Salisbury, 46 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: who I don't think it's seen snow in a long time. Oh, 47 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: you guys are so stupid, man, I said, you're thinking 48 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: all I care about is a cumulo nimbus cloud whatever. 49 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: I remember that when I was like in the seventh grade. 50 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: Here the cumulo nimbus. Guy. I don't know if that 51 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: means it's been a rain or it's the fluff cloud. 52 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: I haven't seen Stow in a while, but I damn 53 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: well tell you I played in the PEG, dude, so 54 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: you know I know what Stows all about. Try win 55 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: a peg. Yeah, and you spend some time in Minnesota 56 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: a day or two, or a year or two or 57 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: five or six. Yeah, I was there for a minute. 58 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: Former NFL usc quarterback and host of the Sean Salisbury 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: Show on Sports Talk seven ninety in Houston. Have you 60 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: ever had a bad teammate bad to the point where 61 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: it was like you looked at him and said, man alive. 62 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: Teammates who have been through some difficult times you had, damn. 63 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: But I don't I try to recall a guy that 64 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: you just looked at said this is a horrible human being? 65 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: Why is he in our locker room? No, I haven't. 66 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: Now there's guys that will do something say damn, what 67 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: the hell is he doing, or have had their their 68 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: run ins. But I don't ever remember, as I say 69 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: here today, going through the twenty eight teams I was on, 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: or the little less I don't remember having a teammate 71 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: today thought you know, and people do wrong things. But 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: where I said, what a bad guy and he's just 73 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: a horrible, horrible human being. Nah, I don't recall ever 74 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: having one that I thought that about. But there are situations, 75 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: obviously with Antonio Brown, where you have a guy but 76 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: he's talented. Therefore that guy always gets another chance and 77 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: always gets Does Antonio Brown get another chance? You can 78 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: never say no, Dan, because you just hit it the 79 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: desperate measures or teams that are in a desperate situation 80 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: or trying to save a winner, save a job. The 81 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: guy's gifted, the truth is, and it may keep him out, 82 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, because of what the problems he's had. 83 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: What four organizations now he is as gifted as it gets, 84 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: so you'd say I can be the guy that fixes him. 85 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: He'll act right for us, but there's been so much 86 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: we've seen this movie before. It's like Fast and the 87 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: Furious nine with him and I personally, if I was 88 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: a general manager, the Migraine headache for me, Dan is 89 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: way too big. It now outweighs the talent used to 90 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: be flipped. He's thirty three now he's still got game. 91 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: But I say to myself, is he going to walk 92 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: into my locker room? And is he going to disrupt 93 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: it more than he helps it on the field on Sundays. 94 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: I'm not willing to do that. But I'm telling you 95 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: right now, I refuse to say never or always in sports, 96 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: it will not shock me if somebody says, you know what, man, 97 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: he can get us fifty catches. I'd probably be more 98 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: surprised if it's over than it's not. But I wouldn't 99 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: want anything to do with it right now. Too big 100 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: a headache. But if you can't stay with with Brady 101 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: and Bruce arians then there's no other something. You know, 102 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: maybe Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, but I don't know it. 103 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: Just this isn't a headache, this is this is a cancer. 104 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: Oh you there, there's it's it's a bad thing, Dan, 105 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: and you you start to wonder. You look around, say 106 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: when do you does the end grade part of you 107 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: take a step back and say, you know what? And 108 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: that's why people get into mental hand of that it's 109 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: above my pay grade on whereas mental I know that 110 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: there's something not right there obviously, but this is a 111 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: Dan if he put it this way, if he was 112 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: thirty percent less talented, he'd have been out of the 113 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,119 Speaker 1: league a long time ago. It's the fact that people 114 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: keep hanging onto that. And I get it, and we 115 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: all root for people to get right success. But you're right, 116 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: you think, I mean, this is like the last hurrah. 117 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: We're thinking Brady and Bruce arians and then thanks. But 118 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: there is Andy Reid who's a great second chance or 119 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: twelfth chance giver. But we're at the point now, Dan, 120 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: where I think you throw your hands up and say, listen, man, 121 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: is he really going to be that big of a 122 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: difference on our team? And if I was getting paid 123 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: to be a GM, my answer is absolutely not. And 124 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: I know that wide receivers, well, anybody tight ends as well, 125 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: everybody wants their touches, you know, in basketball, I gotta 126 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: have my touches. Antonio Brown has an incentive laden contract here, 127 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: and you know I don't like those because you get 128 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: into situations like this where you go, hey, I got 129 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: X number of catches or I need a touchdown, like 130 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: come on, you got to feed me the ball, and 131 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: it's to the detriment, you know, becomes his selfish gesture. 132 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: And that's that's what this turned into. That if if 133 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: his contract was guaranteed, there's no incentives there, or there 134 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: was nothing he could reach, then he's probably still on 135 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: the team. But I don't even know if could he 136 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: have gone back into the game if he has an 137 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: ankle that needs surgery right now? That so I'm trying 138 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: to understand Bruce was going to put him back in. 139 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: He says, I'm not going back in because I'm not 140 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: getting my touches. Could he have gone back in if 141 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: this ankle has to have surgery. I'm there's something that's 142 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: missing here. I had no question, Dan, there's always something 143 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: more to this story, especially when it surrounds Antonio Brown, right, 144 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: And I'm not I don't know the Tampa situation that 145 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: doctors what they said. But he went out to walk 146 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: through the day before, was ready to go, as Bruce 147 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: arians had texted him, would like you ready to go? 148 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: And he was playing and then walked off. And so 149 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: you're starting to think, well, was it the frustration that 150 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: they didn't guarantee his incentives? And then that kind of 151 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: boiled over because he wasn't seeing the ball the way 152 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: he wants to. Listen, quarterbacks get to a point at 153 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: the end of the game, Hey, he needs a catch 154 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: to make a million bucks. Well it's like, okay, let 155 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: me get him that catch. But you got more big 156 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: You got bigger things to do when you're trying to 157 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: win a game than think. We're in the middle of 158 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: the second quarter. How many times have I thrown it 159 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: to ab That's usually not a priority and Dan, but 160 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: this is self inflicted and think about this, you hit it. 161 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: Guess what he always used to have guaranteed contracts, raiders 162 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: and pitts he gave me. And when I talk about 163 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: all those bones, he had a whole bunch of money 164 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of money upfront, was making a 165 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: lot of money. So guests who created the fact that 166 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: we have to incentives in his contract in order for 167 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 1: him to raise his salary him. Yeah, and if you can't, 168 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: they listen. We may not all like the rules, but 169 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: if you can't live by him, it's time for you 170 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: to probably choose another career because you can only get 171 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: so many chances. Talent's an amazing thing, but there comes 172 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: a point in time when you're more of a major disruption. 173 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: It ain't a speed bump now. This is a mountain, 174 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: not a mole hill, and it's time to move on. 175 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have done the right thing 176 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: by moving on. I'm trying to figure out what's going 177 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: on with the Browns, with Baker Mayfield, with his head coach, 178 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski. You know, you have a report by Mary 179 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: kay Cabot, well respected journalist in town, saying that you know, 180 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: if he doesn't get assurances, then he's going to ask 181 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: for a trade. He hasn't earned that right, that privilege 182 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: to be able to ask this. But then he says, hey, 183 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: this is clickbait, and you know I'm not your puppet here, right. 184 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: This isn't going to end well for Baker Mayfield is 185 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: But what do you do if you're the Cleveland Browns. Dan, 186 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: I've pounded the table for him, and I've probably you know, 187 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: I've probably talked about this over the last four years. 188 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: I have. I've pounded the table thinking, I do believe 189 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: it's been such a roller coaster ride, not only off 190 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: the field with media, but on the field with injuries 191 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: and performance. In this one second, you're like, ah, the 192 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: next thing, you're like, oh, this has got a chance 193 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: to be a forty million dollar player. You can't pay 194 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: him forty million bucks. So if that's what he's looking 195 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: for of those assurances, he's not going to get that. Now. 196 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: The question is when you're gonna ge if you decided 197 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: to get rid of Baker Mayfield, Dan, and you know this, 198 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: what am I going to replace him with? Is it 199 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins? Are you going to get into the Deshaun Watson? Okay? 200 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: I get that, but you've got to remember that those 201 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: guys are hard to find, meaning the elite five or six. 202 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: Baker's in another class, I Dan, And then the irony 203 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: of this is he's tried to go out and play 204 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: the tough guy role. And I get it because we're 205 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: always saying we got to have you play hurt and 206 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: injured or two different things. I need you on the field, 207 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: so you try to fight through it, and then trying 208 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: to fight through it, he not only costs himself but 209 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: probably cost his team. I'm not ready to quit on 210 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Dan, I'm not as a player. I'd like 211 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: to see him healthy and full go. But I agree 212 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: with you, it hasn't ended well in Cleveland much of 213 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: the time since Bernie cos Aar in that group left. 214 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: It's been a while. Great fans, I'm not going to 215 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: quit on him, but I will tell you, more than 216 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: any time they have in the last four years, they 217 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: are going to evaluate this position. Now. You don't stem 218 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: in the middle with Baker's either you love him or 219 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: you don't. I still decide that I think he can 220 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: be a player. I do, but I can't pay him 221 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: what Watson and Prescott pay. But you may be stuck 222 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: with it and say, Okay, let's give him another chance healthy. 223 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: But if you're going to replace him, you damn well 224 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: better know who you're going to go after. And it's 225 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: hard to find guys that are a top twelve fifteen quarterbacks, 226 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: let alone guys that are top five or six. He's 227 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: got a ways to go to prove himself, and he's 228 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: there really not in a major position to demand it, 229 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: but I do respect his toughness in the way he plays. 230 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna side with the fact that Cleveland's gonna run 231 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: with him one more year, but I still don't know 232 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: how that's going to end. Would you rather have Kirk 233 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: Cousins in Cleveland? No? No, I mean Cousins is a 234 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: numbers guy. I've I've always said that, and I respect him. 235 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: But Cousins is the guy little and he played better 236 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: this year he did. I mean, he's always put up numbers, 237 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: but Danny's only got me to January. I always say, oh, 238 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: Baker can get me to January. Most of the time, 239 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: I think Souk and Cousins. Can they be the guy 240 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: who says for a month, well, I'm gonna load you 241 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: up on my back, and there's a handful of those 242 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: guys can get you to February. And I think Cousins 243 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: he'll go in there and throw for four thousand yards 244 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: and thirty touchdowns. But at the end of the day, 245 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: you sometimes feel like he's like Xbox. You want to 246 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: throw your controller against the wall. That guy, can you 247 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: elevate when the guy's around you. An offensive line in 248 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: Minnesota struggled, Can you do this in Cleveland? To me, 249 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: you're it's a lateral move and you're going for It's 250 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: a lateral move Mayfield for Cousins. Cousins is a more 251 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: smooth thrower. Baker's a little more rigid. The tough guy, 252 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, I don't think you're actually growing your team. 253 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: But if you're Kevin Stefanski, who knows Kirk Cousins, you 254 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: may think you got it better. I don't think the 255 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown has become a super Bowl team anymore now 256 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: that with a big Ker Mayfield than they are with 257 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. This is a team I feel like is 258 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: right for the taking if a quarter the right quarterback 259 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: in there now. I don't know about Kevin Stefanski, um. 260 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: I don't know about his play calling. I don't know 261 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: about that. I'm gonna I'm gonna base this off with 262 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: the Mannings said when they when they did the game 263 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: on Monday night, they were at times incredulous, like you 264 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: gotta be kidding, like what why do you have your 265 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: tight end in the in the backfield? Or you know, 266 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: there are certain moments yes, and and here is the 267 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: mannings in real time are critiquing the play calling, like 268 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: where's Nick Chubb in the first half? Like these they're 269 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: saying the things that we would say, and these are 270 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterbacks. I just think that this team 271 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: has the makings of You go back to the two 272 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: thousand and three Red Socks. They were they had it 273 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: and you didn't know, but they did. And Cleveland feels 274 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: like they're on the cusp of being a great team. 275 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: But you've got to get the right quarterback in there. 276 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: And I don't I don't. I don't think that quarterback 277 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: is Baker Mayfield. Yeah, Dan, I want to believe. I'll 278 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: be the first sustanta admit if I'm wrong. And like 279 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: I said, I don't think he's there's a difference Stan 280 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: and between a guy and that guy. I think your 281 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: feelings and a lot of people's, are that Baker Mayfield's 282 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: a guy and you're looking for that guy and maybe 283 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, it may be Russ Wilson. What if it's 284 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I don't know who that is, Dan, those 285 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: are so hard to find. But you're right. I look 286 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: at the backfield, I look at with Jarvis Landry's right 287 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: in the tight end corps. I look at they've got 288 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: They've got Miles Gar, They've got a great player, a 289 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: lot of positions. And I talked to Troy Aikman about 290 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: three days ago, and we're talking about building teams. But 291 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: this is no secret. But when Troy says it, or 292 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: the Manning said, Dan, we are no, We're no longer 293 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: in a time or the two thousand Ravens or the 294 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: eighty five Bears. Defense exists. We got good defenses. But 295 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: if you don't have a guy who can do not 296 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: only make the simple play consistently, but when it's the 297 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: worst time in nutcut in time and you've got to 298 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: make a throw into a coffee can size window, when 299 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: you get hit in the mouth for three quarters. Cleveland 300 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: may not have that guy right now. Some think they do, 301 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: and that guy is hard to find. There's only one 302 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: of those guys. It's gonna be available, Dan, but you're 303 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to give up seven assets to get him 304 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: because his stock has risen, and that's Deshaun Watson. When 305 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: the legal stuff goes away, somebody's gonna pay three first 306 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: rounders and a second rounder or two and a third rounder. 307 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: He's the if the Cleveland rounds had Deshaun Watson. He's 308 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: a top five or six player in the league. Whether 309 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: you like what's going on off the field, which you shouldn't, 310 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: on the field, he's a player, and you're right, Dan, 311 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: they are like about a handful of teams in this league. 312 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers one cat away, one cat away, 313 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: and that cat usually is a guy who can load 314 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: you up and carry you and say it doesn't matter 315 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: who's around me, I'm will get you to another level. 316 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: Cleveland still in search of right now.

Since we had about eight inches 338 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: of snow, if my football team played in a cold 339 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: weather city, I would want the stadium to be open 340 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: air or domed. Snowblowers are smart and efficient or soft? Wow? 341 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: Kids should play in the snow or shovel snow. I 342 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: remember shoveling snow when I was younger. Make a little 343 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: extra coin there. Let me get a couple of phone 344 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: calls in. We'll get to the pomputer Iron Eagle here. 345 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: Annette in South Carolina would like to help Fritzie with 346 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: the poll question and that good morning. What do you 347 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: have for us today? Hey, good morning Dan, good morning, 348 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: long time listener, first time of caller. Back to the 349 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: attic day. So this is a little bit already decided, 350 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: but I wondered if the audience had had a choice 351 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: on which Danet to lose, what the outcome would have been. 352 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: Obviously is already gone. I just wondered, Well, let me 353 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: start with you. Let let's go back a month ago. 354 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: Ask you which Dannette would you like to lose? Okay, so, yeah, 355 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: Paully is probably my least favorite Dannette. I'm not saying 356 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: I want to lose him. He's got great snark and 357 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: I love snarky okay, and he's got a memory, like 358 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: how would we how would we replace that memory? Okay? 359 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: Don't you like about Paully? I don't know. It's hard 360 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: to put a finger on that. I don't know exactly, 361 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: but I mean, I like, you gotta come with some, Amma, 362 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: if you're gonna hate on me, I don't mind if 363 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: you say I socc or you hate me, just give 364 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: me some details. There's lots of people on lying that 365 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: on the C. Yeah, yeah, I really, I really don't know. 366 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: I can't I don't have an exact Okay, who's your favorite? 367 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: Dante and Nat? Who's your favorite? Dannette Seaton? Seaton is 368 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: my favorite? And why? Why? Why is Seaton your your favorite? 369 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: Seaton brings a lot of color. I feel like he's 370 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: got um good music information which pairs well with you, 371 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, good discussion about music and tattoos and past girlfriends. 372 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: He's got a great learn whether it sometimes it's fake. 373 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: I know, wait, hold on, wait is that fake? Right there? Uh? Todd? 374 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: I think Todd's got his hand up. I just I 375 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: think the worst thing to be is and what I 376 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: guess I am the middle of the pack with There 377 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: is no strong emotion, positively or negatively. You're just kind 378 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: of there and to be put up with you. I 379 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: don't love you, I don't hate you, just whatever, have 380 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: no strong emotion. Okay, So out of the three remaining, 381 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: who do I fire? Annette? Oh? Three remaining? Well? I mean, 382 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: what I was gonna say about Fritzie was I mean, 383 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: he's a booker. I mean, I don't know, can you 384 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: get rid of him? I mean he things a little. 385 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: I feel like if you got rid of him, your 386 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: your medical plan probably get wow A little bit. Well, 387 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: thank you, Annette, thank you. Like she comes up with 388 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: the poll question, I have an answer to her poll question, 389 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: but thank you Annette. Yes, yes, see I feel for 390 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: Paully in that situation because it's like when you're like, wow, 391 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't really like you. Why, I don't know. It's 392 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: just a general feeling that I put my finger on. Yeah, 393 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: if it was like, you know, well, I think you're 394 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: mean to Tide and you're like, oh okay, that's a reason. 395 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: Why do I just generally you how you are? Yeah, 396 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: you're completely and utterly unlikable. I can't craze what he speaks. 397 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't explain. I can't give you details. 398 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: Let's make the smooth segue to Ian Eagle or Ian 399 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: Eigl NFL, NBA college basketball broadcast. Here he does it all. 400 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: Are you sure you want to dive into this? Sarah 401 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: in perfect timing, completely perfect timing for me. A Nette 402 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: had a very comprehensive breakdown, except when it came to Paully. 403 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: How can Paully work on himself? How can he improve? 404 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: A Net gave no reasons for her dislike nothing whatsoever. 405 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: It's just his overall being that's that's tough, bud. Okay, 406 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: how important is Twitter to you? And you do a game? 407 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: Do you care what is said about you? Hold on, 408 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: let me check how this appearance is going. Oh, not 409 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: very well. Apparently I pay attention, but I made a 410 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: pact with myself probably two years ago not to check 411 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: during games. During games not healthy, I will sway the 412 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: way you might approach a subject matter, and then, depending 413 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: upon the event itself, I may wait a day or 414 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: two after an NFL game to see what the reaction 415 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: might have been, and then sometimes you're pleasantly surprised. While 416 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: people were kind of into it at a sixty five 417 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: percent clip, not like PAULI, where they had no opinion 418 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: as to why they dislike him. But I have made 419 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: the determination that it wasn't a smart move in game. No. 420 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: I've worked with people who check social media during a 421 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: broadcast not healthy, No, and it would paralyze them because 422 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: they would be so fixated on one person saying one thing, 423 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: and I finally had to shut that off. If we 424 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: were doing this show, then you couldn't be checking social 425 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: media because you were reacting to one person and not 426 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: to a larger audience. There, do you think that Kyrie Irving. 427 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: You do the Nets games, you were there for his comeback. 428 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: Do you think Kyrie cares about what is said about 429 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: him on social media? Now? No, I think there was 430 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: a time. Yes, I think now he's probably gotten to 431 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: a point where it's not something that dominates his thoughts 432 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: on a day to day basis. I believe that he 433 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: got to a level where he felt he was getting 434 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: nothing but hate and negativity and just determined that it 435 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: was not going to be productive for him, or for 436 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: his group, for his staff, for his team, And then 437 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: it becomes easily dismissable. You just dismiss You say, Okay, 438 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: all of that we put over here and we live 439 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: our own life. He definitely beats to his own drum, 440 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. But he's pretty comfortable in 441 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: doing it, and he's been highly successful doing it, so 442 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's going to change anytime soon. Dan, 443 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: I just wondered, though, what Kevin Durant really feels about 444 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving Because he came there with Kyrie, they bypassed 445 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: the Knicks, We're going to be here together, and then 446 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here's Durant playing more minutes than 447 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: he probably should be playing, James Harden playing more minutes 448 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: than he should be playing. I Meanwhile, Kyrie is like, 449 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: I don't know. It might be there, it might not 450 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: be there. Do you think that relationship is still as 451 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: strong as it was when he first got to Brooklyn? Yeah, 452 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: I think it might be stronger, believe it not. And 453 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: I know it's counterintuitive because everything you're saying, naturally would 454 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: be the way that most people would react, Hey, what 455 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: are you doing? Why are you doing this to me? 456 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: Look at what you're doing to the team. But they've 457 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: got a bond, a legitimate one, and I think KD 458 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: just digs Kyrie's vibe and the fact that he doesn't 459 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: go along with what everybody wants. And to quote a 460 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: former Danette, he goes against the grain. He does and 461 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: he always has and I think Kevin likes it. By 462 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: the way, the fact that I didn't even get a 463 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: call to maybe be a step in for mclovin was 464 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: soul crushing. Okay, waiting you do the NFL, the NBA, 465 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: college basketball, You worked for cbstnt TBS, the nets, Yestwood 466 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: Westwood one Tennis channel. Why don't you leave something you're selfish. 467 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: You are fish. I an eagle. Why don't you let 468 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: somebody else do something? You're right, I left Sports Center 469 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 1: so others could do it. You're right, you put the 470 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: eye an iron, it all comes out. Let me lie down, 471 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: because this feels more like a therapy will help you 472 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: at this point, there's some deep stuff I need to 473 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: get to. I'm clombing. I need to stop the clomb 474 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: How about down time, Maybe spend some time with the wife. 475 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: I mean, why don't you care about your family a 476 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: little bit more? Who's this now? Do you think that 477 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: there's a chance Kyrie gets vaccinated this year? I would 478 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: say there's a chance. All of his rhetoric has not 479 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: led us to believe that that's a realistic possibility. But 480 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: I think there is a general feeling that if you 481 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: get around your teammates, you win a bunch of games, 482 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: you get that feeling back like they had in Indiana 483 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: the other night, that championship feeling that a part of 484 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: him is going to say, all right, I'm going to 485 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: do it on my terms, and I'm comfortable doing it 486 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: now because I'm doing it for the greater good of 487 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: my brothers. And I do think the nets deep down 488 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: feel like that's still out there, but it's all on Kyrie. 489 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: There's still machinations behind the scenes, I'm sure, between the 490 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: Nets and the city and trying to figure out moving 491 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: forward if there will be an adjustment. The fact that 492 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: unvaccinated players can play at Barkley Center at Madison Square 493 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: Garden Road players visiting players and the home players cannot 494 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: still is a little bit odd. There seems to be 495 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: a bit of a strange loophole in that. And look, 496 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: the oldest thing is you put an end to all 497 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: of this drama and conversation if you get the shot. 498 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: But Kyrie can play in against the Knicks in the Garden, 499 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: right he cannot? No, he cannot. Well, lady's a visiting 500 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: player who's not vaccinated, but he lives in the trist 501 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,719 Speaker 1: to Harry. They put they did put an addendum on 502 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: it because initially, Dan, I believe there was a feeling 503 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: in August, when the word came out or at least 504 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: started to filter out, that this was going to happen, 505 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: that the Nets thought that Kyrie was going to be 506 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: okay because his residence is New Jersey, and initially it 507 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: was New York City residence, and then build a Blasio, 508 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: the former mayor. A change was made to make sure 509 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: it included Tristed Area. He is the peripatetic iron Eagle. 510 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: He's got the Steelers and the Ravens coming up this weekend. 511 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: Are you all set for the send off for Ben Roethlisberger? 512 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: Is it a send off? We have to consider the 513 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: possibility that some wacky things happened in Week eighteen and 514 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: the Steelers make the playoffs. Yes, we recognize it could 515 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: be the Swan song, but you also have to at 516 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: least keep your mind open that Indianapolis could blow it 517 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. The way this season has gone, I take 518 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: nothing for granted, expect the unexpected. Dan best team you've 519 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: seen so far this year is who? Best performance I 520 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: think I saw was Buffalo taking care of business Josh 521 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: Allen in New England, and it renewed some of those 522 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: feelings that this team could be for real, depending upon 523 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: what their draw looks like. In the AFC, the Green 524 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: Bay Packers have been the best team in football and 525 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: they should go in as the favorite. But everybody is 526 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: beatable and this field is wide open. The separation between 527 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: what are considered the elite teams and the second tier 528 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: teams is not as wide as it's been in the past. 529 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: In the NFL. The best team in the NBA, you've seen, 530 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: best team in the NBA. I've seen. Look, I saw Phoenix, 531 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: I saw Golden State. They're both excellent, They're both tremendous. 532 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: Chicago is the best story, Cleveland probably is the second 533 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: best story. Golden State and Phoenix are the two best 534 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: teams right now. Have you run out of ways to 535 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: describe Steph Curry? No. I go to the thesaurus before 536 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: a Steph Curry assignment and I pluck a couple of 537 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: words that might be fitting if it works, because he 538 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: is absolutely astonishing, an extraordinary in his skill level, and 539 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun calling his games. Kyrie Irving, 540 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: I would say it's a similar feeling, and I did 541 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: miss that. I must say as a play by play announcer, 542 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: Kyrie is at a different level in creating highlights. He's 543 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: probably packed in more highlights in his about two seasons 544 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: with the Nets than I had in my previous twenty 545 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: six seasons in calling the action for Brooklyn, and that's 546 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: saying a lot because they've had tremendous players. Kyrie is 547 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: a highlight machine, as is Steph Curry. Why hasn't Brooklyn 548 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: embraced the Nets? No, I think they have, Dan, I've 549 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: felt a shift. I think it was lukewarm. Initially people 550 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: were sampling the product. But over the last three years 551 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: I felt something different. You go into that arena and 552 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: you are seeing repeat customers, You're seeing people donning nets paraphernalia, 553 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: You're seeing more of it around the city. I think 554 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: there has been a shift, but you have to win 555 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: the ones in this. Similar to the Lakers to the Clippers, 556 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: the Knicks, even though the Knicks haven't been successful in 557 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: a long time. Is that not fair to make that 558 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: Nets to the Knicks, Clippers to the Lakers comparison. I 559 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: think the one difference that I'm starting to see having 560 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: grown up in the New York area, the Mets were 561 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: the second team in the market. The Jets were the 562 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: second team in the market. Hockey Islanders eventually Devil's second 563 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: team in the market, but they established a fan base, 564 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: both the Mets and the Jets did. It took time, 565 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: it took a generation, and I think the Nets are 566 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: planting seeds. Legitimately. I don't say that just for hyperbole. 567 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: I really do feel it, and having done all those 568 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: games in New Jersey, there was no impact. Dan. It's 569 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: hard for me to say that now, but I recognize 570 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: that they were just in a black hole, a chasm 571 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: of irrelevance at the metal Lands. Good luck this weekend 572 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: Steelers Ravens and Uh it's always great to catch up 573 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: with you, and I thanked. I mean, if you would 574 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: like to do a cameo and sit in if you 575 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: ever have some downtime, I could see that MC. I 576 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: have the glasses. Yes, I have the mcloven. Look, it's professorial. 577 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: I will go with a different take just for the 578 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: sake of it. Yeah, I'm I'm in. Let's do it. 579 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: And Pauli's my favorite. But you've got to be kind 580 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: of average at your job. Oh no, no, no, that's 581 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: not a problem. I figured out. I am good to 582 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: talk to you. Thank you, Buddy. I an Eagle or 583 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: Ian Eigel. He'll be calling the well he's got let's see, 584 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: he's got Steelers Ravens on Sunday, and then I think 585 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: he's got a Nets game coming up as well. He's busy, Um, 586 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: got a lot of jobs there. Yeah, Paul, what did 587 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: they call it? Chasm of indifference, chasm of mediocrity. Yeah, 588 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: see those are words that mclovin might use. Jasm is 589 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: a great word. Yeah, I'm not ready to put somebody 590 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: in that chair right now. I mean, I think, out 591 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: of fairness to mclovin, we should wait a while. I mean, 592 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,959 Speaker 1: we started with somebody with nobody in that chair. You know, 593 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: it was just us core four and then mclovin came in. 594 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: We're fine. All the people who text, call, email, all 595 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: the above, and they're curious if I'd like to have 596 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: them come in an audition. We're not there yet. It's 597 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: a little it's a little too soon for me, a 598 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: little too sensitive. You know. It was an amicable breakup, 599 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: as we like to say, but it still hurts. Yes, 600 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: it was hot for about three or four days. My 601 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: phone was buzz people and they didn't offer themselves. They 602 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: did this movie, so what are you guys doing with 603 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: Love and See? But they didn't offer themselves up because 604 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: they want to be seen that way. I had somebody 605 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: who shocked me because they're in a higher profile job 606 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: than I would ever think would be interested. And no, 607 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: you can't guess, but this is somebody who's in a 608 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: high profile job, and I went, wait, a higher profile 609 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: job than Mclovin'. Yes, yes, yes, Now though they're in 610 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: a high profile job, not a higher profile job than mclovin. 611 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: That goes without saying, yes, Todd, Now, can Herbstreet talk 612 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: about other things besides college football? That's not true. It 613 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: was not Herbie. It was not Herbie. No, it wasn't, 614 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: but I was. I was. I thought that the person 615 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: was joking with me. Or Lovsky, He's nothing joke. It 616 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: was not or Lovsky. All right, let's take a break, 617 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: got some phone calls coming up here. Uh, Caleb Williams, 618 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma quarterback, or at least he is right now, 619 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: is on the open market. Scots called these Stuke. How 620 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: did you know he might not be a joker? Profile 621 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: Stuke gots wants to jump off that Lebotard ship. He's 622 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: ready to get out of that. It's like nobody sees 623 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: us anymore. Nobody notices me anymore, not on ESPN anymore. 624 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 625 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: the nation.

He's in his third year with the Buccaneers 631 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: with head coach Bruce Arians and of course working alongside 632 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Leftwich was also Arian's offensive coordinator with the 633 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals back in twenty eighteen. It's not a question 634 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: of if, but when I think Byron Leftwich gets a job, 635 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: he'll also be up for the opening with the Chicago Bears. 636 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: Another name that is still there lingering, and that is 637 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: the head coach at Ohio State, Ryan Day. I'll go 638 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: back to when urban Meyer was hired or going to 639 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 1: be hired by Jacksonville, and my Big ten source said 640 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Day would be a better hire because he would 641 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: develop Trevor Lawrence. Urban Meyer will not develop Trevor Lawrence. 642 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: Ryan Day is forty two years of age, and I 643 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: think it's a question of when he does, not if 644 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 1: he does. And you had justin fields at Ohio State. 645 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: I think that where you put one and one together 646 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: and maybe Ryan Day would leave Ohio State for the 647 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. I did not see Jim Harbaugh's name on 648 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: this list of potential candidates. According to NBC Sports Chicago, 649 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: he should be I know that there was a Bruce 650 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 1: Feldman report that maybe the Raiders and Jim Harbaugh. I 651 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: could see the Bears if he decides he's going to 652 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: leave Michigan. We'll get to more phone calls coming up. 653 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three DP show email address DP at 654 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show. You 655 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: know the beauty of this job when you do a 656 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: national job, a national show that I can pick and 657 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: choose what I want to talk about and I can 658 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: bounce around. It could be the Transfer Portal. It could 659 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: be Antonio Brown, it could be Aaron Rodgers, it could 660 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: be the snow that we had last night. If you're 661 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: a local host of a show, sometimes you can't get 662 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: away from something like you have to talk about it. 663 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 1: And we thought it would be fun to have Tom 664 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: Krasniki on. He does the local radio show in Tampa, 665 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: our great Radiophilia, w Dae, Ronnie and t Kraz They 666 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: got off they knew the show prior to ours, and 667 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: I thought it'd be good to have Tom on to 668 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: give us what that local perspective is of what's gone 669 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 1: on this past season. And Tom joins us. Now, Tom, 670 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,919 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. First of all, if I would 671 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: have told you a week ago that this was going 672 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: to play out with what happened with Antonio Brown, you 673 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: would have said what. I wouldn't have been surprised, Dan, 674 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: because this has been Antonio Brown's pattern of behavior the 675 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: last three or four years. And as you mentioned, yeah, 676 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: on our show, we got a lot of buck in 677 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: your fans. Now, there were some fans that were pushing 678 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: back at us, saying Antonio Brown, I don't care what 679 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: goes on off the field. He's a dynamic playmaker. He 680 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: can help us win a Super Bowl, so I don't 681 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: care about what happens off the field. Those fans, presumably enough, 682 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: are not nowhere to be bound right now. Obviously what 683 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: bothers you about this story, whether it's the buccaneer side 684 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: of this, Bruce Arians or Antonio Brown, Like, is there 685 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: something that is doesn't match up correctly here? Dan? For me, 686 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: it's Antonio Brown in what he did last weekend leading 687 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: up to that Jets game. I mean, who would have 688 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: thought that the most scoring he would do was off 689 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: the Pio last weekend, the night before the Jets game, 690 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: rather than the Jets game itself. But him complaining about 691 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: the lack of targets is not really surprised because he 692 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,879 Speaker 1: did the same thing in Pittsburgh a couple of years 693 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: ago that led to his departure, and he was the 694 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: second most targeted receiver at the half of the game 695 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: against the Jets, So I'm not sure why he would 696 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: sit there and start complaining. And then reportedly he went 697 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: to the Buccaneers and wanted them to guarantee some of 698 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: his incentives. I mean, you've got the audacity to try 699 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: and pull that car with the Buccaneers. So his erratic 700 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: behaviors all over the place, and that's a guy who 701 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: I think is crying for help. What are the reviews 702 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: of Bruce are into how he's handled it this week? 703 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: I think very good. I think Bruce has handled it 704 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: about as well as you can. I mean, he couldn't 705 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: say much earlier in the week to us by the 706 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: zoom calls because lawyers were getting involved. And to be 707 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,240 Speaker 1: quite honest with you, Dan, I don't think Bruce wanted 708 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown here in the first place, and the only 709 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: reason why he's here is, you know, is because Tom 710 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: Brady still carries a lot of influence within the Buccaneer organization. 711 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: So Bruce will letton and said, okay, we'll bring him in. 712 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna hold out breath and hope that he stays 713 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: on his best behavior. And it was going well there 714 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 1: for a while, and then the fake COVID vaccine card 715 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: controversy came to a head, and then it didn't take 716 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: long after that for Antonio Brown felt out. But Tom, 717 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: I'm curious, I don't understand this. If Antonio Brown is 718 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,879 Speaker 1: claiming about his targets at halftime, he's going to check 719 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: out of the game. But then he does need surgery 720 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: on his ankle. How how do you get these targets 721 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: if you're not capable of playing because you need surgery 722 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: on your ankles. Something something doesn't add up here. Well, 723 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: that was his side saying, yeah, the ankle was all 724 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: jacked up, but he was not in a boot, he 725 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: was not a crutches. After the game, he was seeing 726 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: court side at a Brooklyn Nets game the very next night. 727 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: So that's what his side was claimed, and the Buccaneers 728 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 1: claimed that he was clear to play. He was out there, 729 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: he was playing and then for some reason he didn't 730 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 1: want to go back into the game. And as Bruce 731 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 1: Aaron said yesterday, you know what, get the blank out 732 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: of here. You're done. Because Antonio Brown says that he 733 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: gave the throat slash. I mean, my thought is, you know, 734 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: I just think he's pointing to get out of here, 735 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: and he viewed it as a throat slash. But this 736 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 1: is what ab'smo has been in all of his different stops. 737 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: But there's a moment I brought this up to my 738 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: audience Tom the last couple of days. It's I think 739 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: six minutes and thirty six seconds to go in the 740 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: third quarter and Tom Brady walks down the sidelines and 741 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: they showed this on camera and he's basically checking in 742 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown, who I think he is basically checking 743 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: out before he takes off his padge and you could 744 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: almost see Brady resigned to the fact that I lost him, 745 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: like this guy has checked out. I don't know if 746 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: Brady has. I want to know what he said to 747 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown in that situation, because it was right after 748 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,879 Speaker 1: that where I think Bruce wanted him in the game. 749 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: He said, I'm not going in. He said get out 750 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,399 Speaker 1: of here, and Brady's on the field. Well, to think 751 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: of it this way, Dan, I was thinking about this 752 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: the other day on our show. Here's Tom Brady, a 753 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: guy who vouched for Antonio Brown, not once, but twice. 754 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: He invited him into his home, took him under his wing. No, listen, 755 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: he's misunderstood. I'm gonna take care of this guy. He's 756 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: gonna help us win. And here was Antonio Brown late 757 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, down twenty four ten. He just 758 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: gets up and leaves Tom Brady, and he leaves his 759 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: teammates Hi and Ryan Jif. Tom Brady a lot of 760 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: credit because he's like, Okay, he's gone, let's go to 761 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: world with the guys that he has that he has 762 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: him with two minutes left and no time outs, marches 763 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: him down the field and scores a touchdown to beat 764 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: the Jets. I mean, that's a kind of competitor and 765 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: what kind of focus that Tom Brady has. And that's 766 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: something that we really haven't shined the spotlight on that Brady. 767 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown just committed career suicide in Tampa. Tom's got 768 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: to get on the field and no timeouts, go ninety 769 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: yards and win this game. And you know, degree of 770 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: difficulty as at a pretty high level. Let's look at 771 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: bigger picture, how how dangerous is this team as we 772 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: get to the postseason. If they get healthy Dan, they 773 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: can be very dangerous. Now the big questions are Lavante, David, Leonard, Fournette, 774 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 1: Shack Barrett is not going to play the Sunday. They 775 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: hope he's ready for the start in the playoffs, so 776 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: they can get these three guys back and healthy. Mike 777 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: Evans is now healthy from miss hamstring, which is a 778 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: great sign. And I think they're locked and loaded and 779 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: they can take down anyone in the NFC, including the Packers. Now, 780 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: I would have Green Bay as a clubhouse leader because 781 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: nobody in the NFL has a better hole build advantage 782 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: in the playoffs than green Bay. And they're gonna get 783 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: some healthy guys back, namely JayR Alexander, David Bactier, and 784 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: baby he's a Darius Smith. So I think green Bay 785 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 1: has the edge. But with the Buccaneers getting healthy Dan, 786 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: hopefully you can't bet against Tom Brady. Tom, great to 787 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: talk to you. I have a good weekend, maybe an 788 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: uneventful week do are you hoping for some you know, 789 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 1: I was just talking about the content factor of I 790 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: don't have any horse in the race here, but you 791 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: give me content. I loved Antonio Brown here. Are you 792 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 1: looking for a very simple, methodical get a win against 793 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: Carolina game? Or are you looking for a little more drama. 794 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking for more drama than listen. Unfortunately with Antonio 795 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: Brown had a talent. To quote cousin An from Risus Vacation, 796 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: He's the gift that keeps on giving. Yes he does. 797 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: Thank you, tom My best to the folks at w daing. 798 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: That's Tom Krasniki. He hosts the show Ronnie and Ti 799 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: krez That the show that he sed Towers. Yeah, he 800 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: was talking about Antonio Brown scoring the night before. He 801 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: was alluding to someone named Ava Louise. She was with 802 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and they were in his hotel room in 803 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: Jersey City and Brown ranted about the league's COVID protocols 804 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: allegedly said bleep the NFL. He also allegedly said to her, 805 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: I can't wait for you to see what I do tomorrow. 806 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: I can't wait for you to see me tomorrow. This 807 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: is from the Daily Mail's that's in London, oh man, 808 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's interesting that Antonio Brown complaining about the 809 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: COVID policies. Of course he's upset with it. He was 810 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: suspended for three games, and he surely would have hit 811 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: his bonuses earlier in the season if he hadn't missed 812 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: those three games for lying about his vaccination card. You 813 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: have the Chargers in the Raiders for the final playoffs 814 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: spot here. I was wondering, of these two teams, which 815 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: one is the most dangerous? Are are either dangerous? Because 816 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: I view the Chargers, the Chargers have beaten Kansas City. 817 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 1: In Kansas City, it feels like they have a higher 818 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: ceiling than the Raiders. Do you know we've been down 819 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,800 Speaker 1: this path with the Raiders before that they they're really 820 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: great at teasing you. Chargers. The Chargers still with with 821 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 1: Herbert wide receivers Bosa, just feels like they might be 822 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: a little more dangerous, Yeampo. If you go back and 823 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: look at the Charger season, it's like every time you're 824 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: ready to believe in them, they lose to the Vikings, 825 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: and then they handle the Steelers, then they lose to 826 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: the Broncos, then they smoke the Bengals, and then two 827 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: weeks later they lose to the Chiefs. It's like, and 828 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: they lost to the Texans, remember in week sixteen. Yeah, 829 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: every time you want to buy into the Chargers, it's 830 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 1: like they cool off just a bit, I know, but 831 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 1: they they tantalize you, you know that that great tease 832 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: of man. I don't know, but I mean that's why 833 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: they you know, you look at these teams. There are 834 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 1: certain teams that are just built to be you know, 835 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: nine wins, eight wins, seven wins. That's the Raiders every year. 836 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: And we always buy in in September. It's it's like 837 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: a September Heisman candidate where you go, man, looking pretty good, 838 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you get to October 839 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: November and you go not so good. In the words 840 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: of Brady Hoke guest on, I guess I'm asking you 841 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: to make a prediction about Sunday night when I ask 842 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 1: everybody this, can you picture us talking more about how 843 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: wonderful Justin Herbert is and the Charges are finally turning 844 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: a corner or Derek Carr not getting beloved once again 845 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: as he leads the Raiders into the playoffs. Is that 846 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: the poll question? That's my question right now for you. 847 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 1: I think, did we really come up with a pole question. 848 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: Today we have if your football team played in the 849 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: cold weather city, was would you want your stadium to be? 850 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: And it's exactly fifty fifty domed or open? Okay, well, okay, 851 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: let's let's take a poll here. Would you want your team, Fritzie, 852 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: your Bronco team, you find with an outdoor stadium in 853 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: the elements if you had to go to every home game, 854 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: can they open it? Like when the ruan serf. It's 855 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 1: either one way of a god, stop joking around. I 856 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: will go with an open one, even though I said 857 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,760 Speaker 1: how comfortable I was in New Orleans. Not everything doesn't 858 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: have to be a joke. Okay, I'm gonna take it 859 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: seriously this time and say, being a Bronco fan, I 860 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,479 Speaker 1: think it's very cool to be out sea the sky 861 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 1: and the mountains and the horse and everything. So I'm 862 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: gonna go outdoor. Stated, thank you to it. Seton. Do 863 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: you want outdoor? Indoor? Outdoor? For sure? I like when 864 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 1: the weather plays a role, Okay, Paulie, even how it 865 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 1: was a season ticket holder, outdoors, it's worth the experience. Yeah, 866 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: I agree, But I always say, you know, experience it 867 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: because you might go Yeah, I tried it, didn't like 868 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: it at all. I went to the coldest game covered 869 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: the coldest game in NFL history, not the Cowboys in 870 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,760 Speaker 1: Green Bay in Lambeau. It was the Bengals against the Chargers. 871 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 1: That's the coldest game. Now, if you could have said 872 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: they could have played that indoors, I would have said, yes, 873 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: I'll sign up for that. But the reason, part of 874 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 1: the reason why the Bengals won that game is I 875 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 1: think the Chargers had just come from Miami playing the 876 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins and then they go to Cincinnati and that weather. 877 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,839 Speaker 1: When they came on the field, it's almost as if 878 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: you could have said to Dan Fouts in company, Hey, 879 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: you guys can go back in. You're gonna lose, you know, 880 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 1: be respectable, but you can go back in and fly 881 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: back to San Diego. Because you could tell on their 882 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 1: faces when they went out there. It's like, oh man, 883 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: some of the Bengal offensive linemen had short sleeves on, 884 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,320 Speaker 1: like just oh you think was this cold? This is 885 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: cold to you guys. And I think it really played 886 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 1: a big factor in Cincinnati going to the Super Bowl 887 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 1: that year. Yeah, the New York City Super Bowl was 888 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 1: that Seahawks Broncos like eight years ago. Does that sound right? 889 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,720 Speaker 1: Was it eight seven? I can't remember what year was? Fourteen? 890 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: Is that right? So that'd be yeah, yeah, yeah, that game. 891 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 1: I think that the temperature is forty two at kickoff, 892 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: forty four kickoff, it was like balmy from New York. 893 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: A day and a half later they got six inches 894 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 1: of snow. Yeah, they don't want the elements to play 895 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,399 Speaker 1: a role in outcoming, you know, with the outcome. But 896 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,359 Speaker 1: you know, if you're a fan and you're gonna play 897 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: in that kind of weather, I remember the Vikings Steelers 898 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,760 Speaker 1: played I think at two Lane Stadium and the weather 899 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 1: was miserable. But that was for a Super Bowl. But 900 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, they'll never let that happen again. Ben in 901 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 1: Minnesota joins us, Hey Ben, what's on your mind? Morning Ban, 902 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: Morning Ben. I'd like to give you a little weather 903 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: report from other Minnesota. This morne, we had thirty six 904 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 1: below and it was over fifty below in show and 905 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,239 Speaker 1: you're speaking im outdoor stadiums. I still think the like 906 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: you should go back to one yeah, old man. Yeah, 907 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: And most of us, like fans, have gotten tired of 908 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins experiment. So I was wondering if your 909 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: thoughts are is there any chance of Vikings could pull 910 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 1: a trade off for Watson, because I know we've made 911 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: crazy trades with Texas teams before in the past. But 912 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: I'd just like to get your opinion on that, all right, 913 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, Ben, Good luck with the weather. Kirk Cousins 914 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 1: is going to cost forty five million dollars next year, 915 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: Baker is nineteen million dollars. Could I see Kevin Stefanski 916 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 1: and Kirk d Cousins reuniting? I guess I don't know 917 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 1: if it's is that the upgrade you want? If you're 918 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 1: going to spend forty five million on your quarterback, do 919 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 1: you want to spend it on Kirk Cousins? Can you 920 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 1: be in the hunt for Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers 921 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: or I don't know. And then Deshaun Watson, Deshaun Watson 922 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,720 Speaker 1: has to want to play there. And the Mike Zimmer 923 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: who it feels like he's got a warm seat underneath 924 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,360 Speaker 1: him right now. I could see them making a change 925 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,280 Speaker 1: with their head coach.
