WEBVTT - Hour 3 – Shooting Your Shot, Rob Gronkowski 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.559 You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:05.520 Sports Radio Final Hour. 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:07.920 On this Tuesday, Dan and The Dan Ed's Dan Patrick Show. 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:12.200 Rob Grenkowski will join us coming up here shortly. Bengals 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.319 over the Cowboys Cincinnati five and eight, Dallas five and eight. 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.960 Feel like there's a real big difference between the Bengals 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.120 five and eight and the Cowboys five and eight. Dallas 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.239 has been horrible at home. They lose by an average 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.920 of almost seventeen points per game. They hung in there 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.720 and had a chance block the punt. Somehow only Dallas 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:38.160 can block a punt and somehow give the ball back 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.960 to the Bengals, and then Joe Burrow made him pay 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.519 if the Bengals defense lived up to their end of 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.720 the bargain. Joe Burrow might be your leading candidate for 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:52.440 MV pick. He's had an incredible season and it feels 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.880 like he knows he has to score just about every time. 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.840 So I give Dallas credit. They did hold them down 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.600 for a while, only twenty points in until the final 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.520 two minutes. And then he finds Jamar Chase Heisman finalists 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:09.760 Travis Hunter, Ashton Genty, Dylan Gabriel, and cam Ward all 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.039 going to New York. I mailed in my ballot yesterday, 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.560 but I'm not allowed to say anything until after the 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.160 ceremony to tell you who I voted for and who 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:22.520 I didn't vote for. But I have at least one 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.280 surprise on my ballot, and I wanted to wait till 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.880 the very last moment. I think it was three forty 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.160 five when I sent the email to Paulie. I said, 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.920 you can send this in now, that's been our tradition. Paulie, 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.960 I got a call from the Heisman Committee. They're like, Uh, 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.080 you're going to send in your ballot. I go, oh, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.679 what time is it? Then it was like three forty 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.520 I said, Paulie, we got to send this in. Here's 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.920 my first guy, second guy, third guy. 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.640 Yes, paul always caught me my nap window too, id 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:52.559 your nap window? 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.120 Now my nap window was over. I think that's when 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.240 I woke up to a phone call from the Heisen Committee. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.520 Night football, the Playoff Hunt takes center stage. Packers Seahawks 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.840 collide primetime Sunday at seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock, 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.880 which is where you can find this program. Peacock download 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.560 the app if you haven't done so, see what's pole 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.400 question for the final hour of the program. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:16.960 Well, let's see, right. 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.480 Now, we've got up there quarterback least likely to win 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.799 a Super Bowl. This is really interesting. Right now, there 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.320 are two players who have seven percent of the vote. 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.480 They're tied at the bottom of the pole, so that 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.119 means they are the most likely to win the Super Bowl. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:31.320 Right. 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.480 I think So, if you're least likely to win the 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.400 Super Bowl and you have the highest amount of votes, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:38.960 that means you're least likely. But if you have the 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.119 fewest amount of votes, you're most likely. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:42.840 So you want to lose this pole question? 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:43.200 Yeah? 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.960 Yeah, yeah, So you want to guess who's winning the 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.800 pole question by losing it? Joe Burrow You're I'm sorry, no, 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.520 Joe Burrow is currently the second least likely to win 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.560 a Super Bowl. Oh okay, Your options are Brock Purty, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:02.360 Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurt, Jalen Hurts. 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:07.280 Jalen Hurts currently is tied for last, which means he's 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.200 most likely to win the Super Bowl, tied with Lamar Jackson. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.840 Brock Purty right now, least likely to win Super clears 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:13.200 that up. 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.720 Let's make way for Rob Gronkowski. I know, I'm confused. 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.600 You and LV will face Cow at the Art of 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.079 Sport LA Bowl hosted by Gronk and Sofi. That'll be Wednesday, 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.760 December eighteenth at nine Eastern. The four times Super Bowl 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.120 champ joining us on the program. Who calls you, Rob? 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.040 Hey? 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:34.359 Dan? 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:35.120 How you doing? 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:35.640 I bought it? 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.240 Danny, Dan, Danielle. 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.760 I don't know what your name is either. We got 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:41.920 all different types of names. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.160 I don't have a nickname. But who calls you Rob? 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:46.920 So like? 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.760 My close friends call me Rob, My family members call 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:57.240 me Rob like, and that's basically all. I'm basically known 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.840 as Gronk to a lot of my teammates, a lot 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.920 of teammates, depending on how they referred to me as 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.320 like if Julian's referring to me as like the football player, 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.520 he calls me Gronk, and but like if we're hanging 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.640 out and we're just chilling and it's just awesome, it's 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.920 more personal he calls me Rob. 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:16.640 You know. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.720 But yeah, that's that goes with a lot of teammates 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:21.400 as well. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:26.919 So basically my family, personal situations with teammates and my 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.400 close friends growing up, you know, basically my friends from Buffalo, 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.880 they call me Rob. Other than that, it's Gronk and 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.000 I love it, man. I love the name Gronk. And 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.440 here's a little story too with it. Is that my 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.680 other brother Dan, he's my He's the second oldest brother 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.920 in my family. He was nicknamed Gronk his whole entire life, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.080 all the way up until he got into the NFL, 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.320 and then I took it over. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.159 I'm a big shot like that. 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.200 Did you want to play for Buffalo when you were 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:00.680 growing up? 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.400 When I was growing up as a kid, I one 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.320 did want to play for Buffalo. 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:06.839 That was the team. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.720 I mean, I was a Buffalo Bill's fan. I love 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.760 Eric Molds, Takio Spikes. That era right, there was the 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.960 era where I was really into it. We were really 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.680 passionate fans like you see now with Bill's Mafia, because 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.320 we were just so busy, uh, with with my with 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.159 everything going on with my family. How I had four brothers, 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.800 so we didn't really get to get to too many games. 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.719 But we were Buffalo Bill's fans just overall as a 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.880 whole and definitely always dreamed of playing for them. But 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.760 I think it worked out more the better when they 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.240 passed on me twice, and I always used it as 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.359 motivation as well, Like I pretend like it, I'm you know, 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.680 I was really pissed that they didn't take me, But 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.680 deep down I kind of knew that when I got 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.160 drafted to the New England Patriots that it was a 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.840 way better situation at the time, and the moment when 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.000 I really wanted to play for the Buffalo Bills, I 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.680 would say, if I had a chance to, would have 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.719 been the last four years, you know, of the last 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.080 four years. So when I was in Tampa Buffalo Bills 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.080 they were legit. And then after I was done in 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.240 Tampa as well, over the last three years, you know, 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.640 I had a couple thoughts, Hey, how cool would that 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.560 be to play for the Bills. I actually talked to 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.680 them at one point before I went, you know, back 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.120 to Tampa Bay for my second year, just because you know, 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.000 they have a solid team Josh Allen. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.240 Just how cool would that be to play one year? 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.280 Getting drafted there when I've been cool because I got 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.680 drafted to an unbelievable situation, but the play a year 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.479 with Josh Allen would have been really cool. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.360 But unfortunately it just didn't happen. 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.599 Okay, explain the situation where Joe Burrow is trying to 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:51.240 recruit you to Cincinnati and did you did you know 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.680 that that was Joe Burrow actually trying to recruit you? 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.200 All right? All right, so that story kind of went 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.360 big recently. So here here's what happened. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.840 I got like five years ago, actually when not five 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.240 years ago, however long it was when Malcolm Brown got 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.640 drafted first round to the New England Patriots. He texted 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.640 me and then I texted him back, and then it 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.880 was a fake number, and that's what I talked about. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.880 And then I told myself, Hey, I'll never respond to 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.480 fake numbers anymore or random numbers that I. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.800 Don't know, because I was getting a lot of them. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:27.280 So then after my second year playing with the Tampa 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.600 Bay Buccaneers, I've got to ask plenty of questions, like 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.600 when you're doing media stuff, you know, you go to 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.560 media row all that wherever. It was, Hey, what young 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.160 quarterback would you love to play for, if you could play, 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.480 if you could play with And I was like, Joe Burrow, 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.760 he reminds me of Tom Brady. I watched him in 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.800 the National Championship Game at LSU and just the way 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.600 that he stays in the pocket, the way he goes 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.640 through all his reachs, just the way that he presents 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.440 and carries himself. I really think that would be cool 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.360 to play with him. That's my young buck quarterback that 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.400 I feel like I would drive. But it blew up everywhere, 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.880 Like I wanted to go to the Cincinnati Bengals, and 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.000 this was right after I retired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.720 So then we fast forward. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.000 We're at the White Party and we talked about this 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.200 on my podcast Dudes on Dudes, but we're going to 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.760 recap it right now my new podcast that I host 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.200 with Julia, So check us out for plenty of stories 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:17.679 as well. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.720 But we go back. 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.520 We're at the White Party and there's Joe Burrow. I 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.440 never met him in my life, and we just chat 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.400 real quick. He's like, yo, because he texted me right 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.520 after I said all that about him in Cincinnati. I 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.680 wanted to play him, and that's when I didn't text 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.000 him back because I didn't believe it. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:34.800 I didn't want to get duped together. So I see 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.040 him at the White Party. We're hanging out talking. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.520 He's like, yo, Gronk, I texted you Burrow just along 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.200 those lines, and I was and my eye shot up. 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.480 I kind of got embarrassed because like I want to 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.640 text him back if I knew one hundred percent, because 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.120 I'm a big fan, I really am. And I was like, no, way, bro, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.560 that was you. He's like, yeah, man, you ghosted me. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:56.640 Just it was just. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.760 Along those lines, and like I kind of felt bad 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.240 because like I wanted to respond to Joe Burrow. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.760 I mean, he cool dude, and uh I just told him. 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.640 I was like, hey, it's probably a good thing I 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.800 didn't and He's like, yo, man, I could have used you. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.360 And I was like, no, when I'm retired, trust me, 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:12.200 you don't want. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.560 Me out there on the field. You would. It would 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.280 have only brought your play down, buddy. 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.439 So that's how it went down, man, And uh, he's cool, 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.360 cool dude, And that's. 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.080 All we're talking to. Grink. How often, like I gotta 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.560 believe your personality with Bill Belichick, would there are times 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.160 when he like would scold you at being a goofball? 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:33.960 Uh? 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.960 I would say my uh, just a few times. Because 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:42.079 here's the thing. If you show up and you ball 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.480 out and you perform and you're consistent with balling out 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.120 and performing. Coach Belichick is gonna let you do whatever 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.200 you want to do, you know, as long as you 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.600 ain't getting in trouble and all that. Like, if you're 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.040 having fun but you're balling out, he lets you do 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.199 what you do. But if you're if you're doing all 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:05.559 that other nonsense tweet NonStop being causing controversy, controversy and 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:10.760 not bawling and have all this extra activity going on, yeah, 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.000 he's gonna get on your case. So it was a 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.679 good thing that he was barely on my case because 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.680 I was bawling, Dan, I was balling my second year 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.000 in the league, I was balling my rookie year in 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.840 a way my third year, all. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:23.440 That good stuff. 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.640 But every once in a while he would get on 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.280 my case and it was just funny though. He would 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.520 get the whole team laughing that he's yelling at me 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.600 about something that I did. Stupid, but it was straightened 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.440 me up and it button me up to you know, 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.719 he was just letting me know, hey, you better clean 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.480 up the act before it gets out of control. 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.720 Just along those lines, but nothing too serious. 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.400 Can you see him coaching a college team? Could you 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.880 see him coaching at North Carolina. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.920 I mean, I can tell you this coach Belichick is 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.880 the best coach, hands down in the game of football. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.560 He has more knowledge than anyone I've ever talked to, 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.839 and just more knowledge of the game, just inside and out. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.959 He knows everything, the playbook, rule book, you name it. 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.400 This guy special teams, offense, defense, This guy knows it 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.240 all and he would be a great coach at the 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.560 University of North Carolina. My only question is how would 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.480 he do because when you're a head coach in college, 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.520 it's kind of like not really being a head coach. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.880 It's not about all football. From my understanding and meeting 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.280 head coaches in college and seeing what they do, it's 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.440 more about managing the program and also managing these kids 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:30.280 and recruiting them. I can't see coach Balichick, you know, 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:35.640 being all in in that situation, coaching wise one on 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.360 the field, getting these players ready for the NFL, that's 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.040 what he would do. But hey, when it comes to recruiting, 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.760 I think that's the question mark, and that's really up 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.360 to him if he if he can see himself doing that. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.719 With me personally, I can see him getting tired and 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:54.440 old with all that transfer portal anil stuff going on. 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.960 What if he said, would you be my tight ends coach? 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:58.160 Oh? 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:02.800 Man, I'm not into the coaching the world Dan. You know, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.240 I really love what I'm doing analysts with Fox on 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:07.600 the pregame kickoff show. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:08.679 That's going so well. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.040 Coaching is just not in my forte You know, I 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.640 love the game of football, but you know that's just 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.280 not me. I can see myself coaching though, like if 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.440 I have a kid one day, like like my brothers 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.280 have kids, I go to their game, just give them 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.080 a tip or so and watch them do it. Like 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.319 I can see myself doing like Little League and stuff 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.760 like that, But not no coach in college or NFL. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.560 The bowl game, second consecutive year, you're hosting this bowl game, 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.480 the Art of Sport LA Bowl hosted by Gronkit so 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.840 far Wednesday, December eighteenth, at nine eastern. How did you 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.839 get involved? Like, what is your goal with this bowl game? 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:43.960 Uh? 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.960 You know, it's just to expand you know, my family name, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.400 that's for sure. You know, keep it in the in 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.640 the home of the football world, which one hundred percent 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.360 it's doing. And you know, just go out there and 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:02.120 motivate kids as well, you know, keep the name on 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:06.079 a positive track and just to stay in the football world. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.560 Is really cool because I actually played in this Bowl 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.360 game as well as the first ballgame that Arizona went 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.119 to in ten years when I was at the University 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.719 of Arizona, and it was actually called the Vegas Ball 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.120 at the time, but it was the same ex that 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.520 conference matchup as it is now. And then it got 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.640 moved to the La Bowl in Los Angeles in twenty twenty. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.720 So it's just a cool atmosphere, you know. 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.520 My goal is to bring energy to the crowd, to 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.080 bring energy to the teams, all that good stuff. Like 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.840 last year, I sang the national anthem, I did a 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.880 couple other antics. It wasn't that great, but at least 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.360 I had, you know, a chorus with me. I had 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.480 four others as well with me, so it made me 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.640 sound decent, you know, it made me sound sound all right. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.840 I also raced the Boise State mascot last year, which 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.959 it was a dog, and I beat the dog and. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.360 The dog only lost one of the time, you know, 0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.040 in his life. 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.560 So just doing that type of cool things, bringing the 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.880 gronk effect to the game, and that's what it's all about. 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.080 Just cracking it up and having my friends, former teammates, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.440 former college teammates. They're my family. So it's just a 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.720 good experience and great atmosphere. 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.000 You getting married soon? 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.800 Oh man, that's a great question right there, my man. 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.600 I mean, I'm working, we're getting close to the holidays. Yes, 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:21.480 you know we are. 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.480 I'm with my I've been with my girl for quite 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.280 some time now. She's wonderful. She's the best. We totally 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.680 understand each other's schedules. Uh, you know, when I'm on 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.920 the road, she's on the road. Sometimes she goes with me. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.960 Sometimes we bring the dog. Sometimes she stays back. We 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.240 have it down to science, that's for sure. We basically 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.680 already are. I mean we act like we are, but uh, 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.920 you know, we're gonna might have to move into the future. 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:46.480 Step coming up soon, man. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.120 Okay, all right, just saying around the holidays that that 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:50.720 sometimes get a little pressure. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.600 We do watch all the Hallmark movies and that's what 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:55.680 they're all about, so. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.440 I feel the pressure from the Hallmark channel. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.640 Congrats on the success and good luck with the bull game. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.960 Always great to catch up with you, my man. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.760 Out of Sport LA Bowl Game hosted by Yours truly 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.240 grat December eighteen, six pm. Get your tickets now, Dan, 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.400 you're invited to come to my sweep baby if you want. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.600 Thank you, Gronk, thank you, Yes, take care guys, all right, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.960 thank you. That'll be UNLV facing col at the Art 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.760 of Sport LA Bowl hosted by Gronk. Yeah, he's been 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:33.160 with his girlfriend quite some time. Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.440 Yes, Tom, it's so refreshing to know that's not a 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.200 stick with his on air personality and him just chatting 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.160 with you is pretty much exactly what you see is 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:40.640 what you get. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:41.400 God bless her for that. 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:49.640 Yeah. Yeah, but he's right though. When you do your 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.520 job with Belichick, that's all we ask. It's always do 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.480 your job. Do your job. Then I think he gives 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.200 you a little bit of leeway there. It's when you're 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.560 not doing your job and then he has a with that. 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.000 But going back to Lawrence Taylor, when Belichick was the 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.960 defensive coordinator with the Giants, LT when he got on 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.880 the field, did his job. Off the field, he did 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.640 more than that. But I think Bill Parcells gave you 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.360 lee way if you did what you're supposed to do, 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:25.240 and Belichick was probably that way. Dennis Rodman was similar 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.960 to that that there would be times when you'd have 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.040 to put up with Dennis off the court, but once 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.720 he got on the court, it was really rare when 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.000 you would say he's not giving his best, that he's 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.520 not into the game. So when he says, hey, I 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.600 need three days in Vegas and Phil Jackson goes all right, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.880 and then he comes back, you know, but that's when 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:51.200 you coach a person, not a player. You have to 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:52.920 be able to look at him and say, how do 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.720 I manage this person instead of treating everybody the same 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.560 as that's a player. All right, let me take a break. 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.760 We'll get some more phone calls coming up back after this. 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.960 Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.359 the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.600 dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:14.359 listen live. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.919 I saw this story and it had to do with 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:25.040 Ryan Rossillo of the mother Ship. He revealed that he 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.600 took his shot with Megan Markle. Now this goes back 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.720 to the twenty fourteen Beach Bowl that we had, and 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.480 this is where you had Chrissy Tigan. You had all 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:41.120 these swimsuit models Hannah Davis, Derek Jeter's wife, Nina Agdall, 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.080 Michael B. Jordan was in it, Nina Dobrev was in it, 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.399 and Megan Markle was in it. And Ryan Rossillo was 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:56.680 playing in the beach football game, the Beach Bowl, and 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:02.040 he said that nobody was paying attention to her, so 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.359 he thought he was going to take his shot with her. 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.760 And he was like, that's my lane. She's probably doubting 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:11.880 herself a little bit right now. 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.200 I need to know the tone of that statement. 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.680 Knowing Rosillo, I think that I don't think there was 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:28.280 any like sarcast No, I don't think so, because Rosillo 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.480 played like he was playing in the Super Bowl even 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:37.520 you know, all out. You know, he's probably did some pumps, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:42.200 you know whatever. He said that she was never more 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:53.879 obtainable than that moment. Let's see what else is he saying. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.240 And then he invited her on his radio show. She 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.159 was in suits and it was season four and she 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.679 decided that she was going to decline the offer because 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:08.200 she didn't know anything about sports. But hey, I give 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.800 him credit. You know, he took a shot thought she 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:18.680 was obtainable. I don't know how you assess that at 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.520 a Beach Bowl like a football game. I don't know, 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:30.800 you seem obtainable. Hannah Davis though she wasn't attainable, but man, 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.639 oh man, that's one of those where and I was 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:35.600 doing the play by play, if you want to call 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:41.880 it that. I think Serena Williams was there, like Ireland Baldwin. 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:44.600 There was like a yeah, it wasn't that the same 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:45.199 one there was. 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.520 I remember there was one Jerry Ferrara I think had 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:51.240 a breakout at that. That was one of those celebrity 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.480 beach Bowls where I was like, damn, there's a lot 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:54.200 of people here. 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.560 I remember I got done with the Beach Bowl and 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.080 I immediately went to Newark Airport and then I flew 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:06.359 to the Olympics in Sochi because the game ended and 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.880 I had a charter that NBC had and I said, 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:13.359 where's my wallet? I gotta go, And I remember Santa PAULI, 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.760 I got to get out of here, so they got 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.119 me through it. I remember seeing Michael B. Jordan like 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.240
