1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: It's our one on this Wednesday, Dan and The Dance

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show. And nobody loves love quite like I do.

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: But I do need the audience's help because it was

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: a while ago where I think there were some skeptics

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: in this room about Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. Was

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: it true love? Was it a marketing ploy? Was it

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: a hoax?

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: You know?

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: Were they in on the joke? Were they truly in love?

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: And nobody loves love the way I do? And I said, no,

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: they're in love. And I made a bet with Fritzy

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: that when they got engaged that I would hit him

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: with a wedding cake in the face. But we can't

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: find the day that I said that. If an audience member,

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: either on social media or you called in and you

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: can help us locate that because I can't go through

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: with the bet until we find the audio that says

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: that I was going to hit Todd in the face

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: with the cake if they got engaged, which they did yesterday.

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: Actually they got engaged two weeks ago, according to Travis's dad.

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: Yes, Hunt.

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 5: I do want to say for the record that I

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 5: too love love, But I thought it was gonna be

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 5: one of those celebrity Oprah's Deedman kind of things where

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 5: a lot of celebrity couples they don't actually go down

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 5: the aisle, they get engaged and they just kind of

29
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 5: stay as partners. Not that this wasn't a real thing.

30
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 5: I didn't. I don't think I ever said it was

31
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 5: a publicity stunt that they were together, but it was

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 5: more of a I just didn't see them, you know,

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 5: getting married anytime in the coming years.

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: If you have to know what you're looking for when

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: you see love, and that's the problem.

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 4: You don't see that. To me, I look past it.

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 4: It was obvious to me, it was obvious.

38
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 6: You were right on it.

39
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 4: Yes, that was yes, we Dan.

40
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 7: I'm mister semantics, you know, with any type of bet,

41
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 7: I'm curious. I remember you and Fritzy having a bet,

42
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 7: just like you said, but I don't remember the language

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 7: of the bet. Was it engaged or married? Those are

44
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 7: two different things. And if Fritzy wants to get out

45
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 7: of the bet, that would be a wiggle room. But

46
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 7: we are looking for it act.

47
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: But you have to get engaged though, yeah, before.

48
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 7: You get like a catch you have to complete the

49
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 7: process getting there.

50
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough. Well, they're officially engaged.

51
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: The biggest power couple in America made it official yesterday.

52
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, my round of applause. I love it. I

53
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: love it. So the thing I thought, well, a couple

54
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: of things I thought of. First of all, I get

55
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: to hit Todd with a wedding cake. But also, is

56
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: this the last year for Travis kelcey. It sounds like

57
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: he's got a very popular podcast with his brother. He

58
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: can do a lot of different things. He's going to

59
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: have a variety of NFL shows to work on if

60
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: he wants to. But it'll be more than that. He'll

61
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: be involved in more than just that. He's thirty five

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: and coming off his least productive season since twenty fourteen.

63
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: You got three Super Bowl rings, ten Pro Bowls, and

64
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: you're one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history.

65
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: And no matter what comes next, Kelsey, maybe you chase

66
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: one more time title and that would be this year

67
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: and then he probably steps away. But on and off

68
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: the field, Travis Kelsey has already won. Good Morning, those

Speaker 2: hour of this award nominated program.

88
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 8: I think we're gonna start with two. Is Travis Kelsey

89
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 8: more likely to retire now that he's engaged. You just

90
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 8: brought that to our attention. I'm gonna start with that.

91
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 8: All right, We're also kicking this around just a little earlier.

92
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 8: The NFL coach that needs to win a playoff game

93
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 8: this season, okay or else?

94
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: All right done, Dolphin said coach Mike McDaniel will be

95
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: on the program. Oh no, yeah, he'll be on the

96
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: program final hour.

97
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 7: I'm gonna pause between those two times.

98
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: Oh my bad, by bad. Shouldn't let him breathe a

99
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 4: little bit. There.

100
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: He's the odds on favorite right now, according to Vegas,

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: to lose his job or the first to lose his job, Yes, Seaton.

102
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 8: See, I would put it between him and Brian Dables.

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 8: I would too that he that's a fellow right there

104
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 8: that needs to win a game.

105
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: I would probably say Brian Dable because I don't think

106
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: they're gonna be that good soon enough for him to

107
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: hold onto that job unless he's already been told you're

108
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: coaching next year. Mike McDaniel feels like you're on the clock.

109
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: You have to make the playoffs. You might have to

110
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: win a playoff game, yeah, PAULI.

111
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 7: Two years ago, under Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins had the

112
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 7: second rank scoring offense in the league. They were eleven

113
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 7: and six, and they were cruising. Last year, little banged

114
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 7: up eight to nine, their offense went down to twenty

115
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 7: second in the league. You definitely get a haul pass,

116
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 7: but it's got to improve, it's got to go back

117
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 7: to twenty twenty three.

118
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: I think you've got to make the playoffs. Got to

119
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: make the playoffs.

120
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: Yes, Dodd rushould Mike Tomlin be on that list? Or

121
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 5: is it all up to Aaron Rodgers and how he performed,

122
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 5: so does he get another pass. I know the Steels

123
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 5: aren't quick to fire coaches in their history, but at

124
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 5: some points.

125
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what the odds are with Tomlin because

126
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: that they don't fire coaches in Pittsburgh. But the fan

127
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 2: base is fired up of let's get into the playoffs

128
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: and actually win a playoff game. And it for me

129
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: this and I don't have any information for me, it

130
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: feels like this could be Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers last

131
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: year's Now Rogers hasn't ruled out playing again and running

132
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: it back. But you know, after a while, you know,

133
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: your voice gets a little stale. And as great as

134
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin is and he's going to be a Hall

135
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,559
Speaker 2: of Fame coach, maybe there's something else out there, maybe

136
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: TV that he would be an analyst there.

137
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think when we're looking at a conversation like

138
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 8: this or a topic like this, I think that there's

139
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 8: different categories of coaches. That there are coaches who winning

140
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 8: a playoff game would save their job, say like Shane Steichen, right,

141
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 8: if the Colts won a playoff game, all right, dude,

142
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 8: you're good for another year.

143
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll get you there.

144
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 8: But then there's other people that, like winning playoff games

145
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 8: probably isn't enough.

146
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: Like maybe, like Zach Taylor needs to win se he does.

147
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 8: That's a fellow right there that needs to not only

148
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 8: win a playoff game, but go have a run.

149
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: Because you can only live off the fumes of going

150
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: to a super Bowl for so long. Now, if he

151
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: won a super Bowl, then maybe it's a little bit different,

152
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: a little bit more of an extended time.

153
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

154
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 8: See, it's like there are guys who are trying to

155
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 8: build something is one category, and then other coaches who

156
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 8: are wasting an opportunity. And he might fall into that,

157
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 8: Zach Taylor might fall into that, you know, these wasted

158
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 8: years category.

159
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: And I don't know about Kevin Stefanski with the Cleveland

160
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: Browns because I don't know what the expectation level is there.

161
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: I've been told expect a little bit more, and to

162
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: which I said, to my sores, well, I'm not expecting much.

163
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: He goes, expect a little bit more. They will be

164
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: They're gonna surprise you.

165
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 4: I said, Okay.

166
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: If Flacco stays healthy, okay, But if he doesn't, then

167
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: it gets really interesting there. And then it gets kind

168
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: of choppy because you're not quite sure who's your quarterback

169
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: means for the future, and you always have that in

170
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: the back of your mind. They have two first round

171
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: picks next year. There's a chance that all of these

172
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: quarterbacks on the Browns may not be there next year,

173
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: or two of the three won't be there next year.

174
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: You got rookie contracts and you got Joe Flacco.

175
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, where do you put like a Brian Schottenheimer on

176
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 8: that list?

177
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: Oh, I have to give him at least two years.

178
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: And Jerry likes to keep the guys in there that

179
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: really don't fight back. Yeah, that they kind of allow

180
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: him to be the owner and the coach and the

181
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: GM and it's his first year.

182
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 8: It is, but he also he doesn't I don't think

183
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 8: he has a guarantee after this year either is.

184
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: It just is it one year.

185
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 8: I think that his contract structure, I think I feel

186
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 8: like Florio posted up about it. His contract structure is

187
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 8: not built for longevity. It's built for a very quick out.

188
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 8: I might be wrong, though, Okay, PAULI do have Schottenheimer's Yeah.

189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 7: Seed's partially right because it's a four year contract approximately

190
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 7: four point five million per year, which is very low

191
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 7: in the NFL. But there are some outs, easy outs

192
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 7: after two years.

193
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you give him two years. See what he

194
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: can do with that roster. Yeah, Paul.

195
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 7: Going back to the Bengals, I was looking at their history.

196
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: They're disturbing. They're very loyal to head coaches.

197
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 7: They've had two head coaches in twenty four years.

198
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 4: Marvin Lewis.

199
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 7: They allowed him a number of losing seasons, but he

200
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 7: never had two in a row. And you know Zach

201
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 7: Taylor hot start, but you know nine and eight the

202
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 7: past two years, no losing season.

203
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: Got to make the playoffs, got to make the playoffs.

204
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: All the money that you spent in the off season,

205
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: got to make the playoffs, yeah, Paul.

206
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: Or yes, Uh what about if we put on that list.

207
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 8: This isn't just a playoff game and this is a

208
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 8: guy that needs to have a significant run. I think

209
00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 8: Sean McDermott, Yes, well, he's a great you know, their

210
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 8: regular seasons are great.

211
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: But.

212
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills need to go to the title game for sure,

213
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: for at least at least I think.

214
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: Okay, more pressure Dan Campbell or Sean McDermott because it

215
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: feels like it's Super Bowl or bust. Yeah, Marvin, I'm.

216
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 9: Gonna go with Dan Campbell, and I think going off

217
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 9: of the twenty four to seven lead that you had

218
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 9: in an NFC title game, it's time to get back. Yeah,

219
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 9: because it's not like the Bills were up twenty four

220
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 9: to seven on the Chiefs. Like all we could have

221
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 9: went to the super Bowl. The Lions could have went already.

222
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

223
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 8: I don't know, though, I mean, I think I feel

224
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 8: like there's got to be a lot of pressure on

225
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 8: Sean McDermott. If Josh Allen you have, you know you've

226
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 8: been able to get there, but you just can't get

227
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 8: over the hump necessarily.

228
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

229
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 8: I think that if you're a Bills fan, you're looking

230
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 8: You're not looking at the players and saying, why aren't

231
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 8: you doing this?

232
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: It feels like there's been more attention on Sean mcder

233
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: in recent years than Dan Campbell because we still I

234
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: think we're still trying to figure out the Lions that

235
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: that we're told they're good, they should be good, and

236
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: they had opportunities. They lose Aiden Hutchinson last year. Now

237
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: maybe we get that where you're expected to be a

238
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: super Bowl contender.

239
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, Marv, Yeah, I keep going with Dan Campbell. Also

240
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 9: because of the home playoff loss against the Commanders. They

241
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 9: got smoked last year at home, but.

242
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: You lost both coordinators in the off season.

243
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: Still a good offense, you get Aiden Hutchinson back, and

244
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: that division top to bottom. You know, I think people

245
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: are sleeping on the Vikings that I mean all of

246
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: a sudden, Sam Darnold became, you know, Joe Montana. I

247
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: mean they won thirteen games, but you know, all accounts,

248
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy is playing well, whatever that means to you,

249
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: but that's you know what I've read. Hey, he's playing well. Okay,

250
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: is he playing well like he did at Michigan or

251
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: is he going to play well like an NFL quarterback

252
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: because you got to play a little more wellish if

253
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: you're going to be an NFL quarterback, not quarterback at Michigan.

254
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 4: Quarterback playing more wellish? Yeah, Jo, who's most wellish? Most wellish?

255
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: By the way of the week, I have a Dodger

256
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: fan and uh he texts all the time. He said,

257
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift got a ring before the padres did I

258
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: love the rivalries? I love it.

259
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 4: Ryan in Pennsylvania, Hi, Ry, what's on your mind today?

260
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 10: Solved your great mystery of the wedding cake bet. I

261
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 10: found a video and there's definitely some discrepancy. It sounds

262
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 10: like Dan said engagement. Fritzy said wedding. So you might

263
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 10: have to find an attorney now to settle at all.

264
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Ryan, stay on hold the back room. Guys want

265
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: to talk to you about, you know, the exact date

266
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: on that. So there's a there's a damn discrepancy.

267
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 7: I knew it would be semantics.

268
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: Well, we can vote on it, and if you guys

269
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: want to let Fritzie off the hook on that, yeah,

270
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: you know, let me find it first and then we

271
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: can listen to it. But I thought that the bet

272
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: was an engagement before I retired. For some reason, I

273
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: thought that there was a time frame to this.

274
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 4: Yes, Ton, I.

275
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 5: Am interested to see what was I can't honestly can't

276
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 5: remember it. If I'm doing cake, then so be it.

277
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 5: It's fun content, but I'm hopefully we can find it

278
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 5: and they get to the bottom.

279
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: That doesn't help it. It doesn't mean it does not

280
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: help them. You had nothing to say.

281
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: There, They didn't.

282
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 6: I guess you thought.

283
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 4: Everybody has body language. I didn't raise my head.

284
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: All the dants have body language that I'm you know,

285
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to call them out because if you're listening

286
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: on radio, I want you to know the name and

287
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: the voice. And Todd leaned In, Seaton has a little

288
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: bit of a hand up, PAULI puts one finger up,

289
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: Marv leans In or he'll have his hand up five

290
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: or six times in a row. And just trying to

291
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: read body language there, how about we take a break.

292
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: We're just getting started. I love love.

293
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 6: I didn't mean to confuse you there.

294
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 4: It's okay.

295
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 5: You need to get away from the mic a little

296
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 5: bit more so you don't think I'm trying to say something.

297
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: Well, it's almost like you're leaning into the microphone, as

298
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: if you're gonna be able to hear in the microphone,

299
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: like you're leaning in to hear what I'm saying odd.

300
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 5: It's one of my many quirks that they hate to

301
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 5: work on.

302
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: And once again, you can't spell todd without odd.

303
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:41,680

00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 11: We have a lot of fun talking about the stories

316
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 11: behind the stories in the world of sports and pop culture,

317
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 11: stories that well other shows don't seem to have the

318
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 11: time to discuss. And the fact that we've been friends

319
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 11: for the last twenty years and still work together.

320
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,520

324
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,080

332
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: Just bring in Nick Right, host of First Things First

333
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports one and What's Right with Nick Wright

334
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: on YouTube wherever you get your podcast. Which coach do

335
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: you think has to have a playoff win this year?

336
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: A playoff win.

337
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 6: Is such an interesting way to frame it because I

338
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 6: I just I was thinking about it in terms of

339
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: making the playoffs. If Zach Taylor doesn't make the playoffs,

340
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 6: he's fired. Like I don't think Mike McDaniel has to

341
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 6: win a playoff game. I disagree with that, And it's

342
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 6: not just because he's on in an hour. And by

343
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 6: the way, have you ever had in a show two

344
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 6: more physically imposing guests back to back than me than

345
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 6: Mike McDaniel? My god, I mean, the testosterone in this

346
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 6: room off the charts. Like if the Dolphins make the playoffs,

347
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 6: he's as safe as can be because the expectations have

348
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 6: been lowered you know what I mean. So I would go,

349
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 6: this is gonna sound insane, but I would go, like

350
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 6: John Harball, they better win a playoff game like the

351
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 6: and I know that's the he's a great coach, Sean McDermott.

352
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 6: They need to win a playoff game like it's the

353
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 6: Make the playoffs is the threshold to me for the

354
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 6: coach who could be on the hot seat win a

355
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 6: playoff game as the coach who oh, he's totally safe, unless,

356
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 6: of course, this year ends in tragedy because we think

357
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 6: we can win the Super Bowl. We don't even make

358
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 6: it out of round one. So those are the those

359
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 6: are the people I would have put on there if

360
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 6: I know that's a little counterintuitive, but that's how that's

361
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 6: how I view it.

362
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: What about more pressure to win a playoff game Mike

363
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: Tomlin or John Harbaugh.

364
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 4: Tomlin?

365
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 6: Tom Tomlin is Yeah, that that's another good one because

366
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 6: he's in his own unique category where he in a

367
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 6: weird way. Steeler fans likely would be more okay with

368
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 6: four and thirteen bottom falls out than the seventh seed

369
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 6: make the playoffs and get clocked by Josh Allen again,

370
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like seriously, like the and

371
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 6: so yeah, I think Tomlin. Tomlin's better off missing the

372
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 6: playoffs and breaking a streak than making the playoffs and

373
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 6: using in round one, which is maybe not fair, but

374
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 6: I think that's reality.

375
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: I veried the leading how emotional was yesterday when you

376
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: found out that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey Gravisgate.

377
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 6: I'm very very happy for him. I also, you know

378
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 6: this is it's moments like that where I just wish

379
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 6: we had a take czar that held people accountable. And

380
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna name names here, and I know you're

381
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 6: gonna ask me to, but I won't do it. I

382
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 6: would just like for the people who two years ago

383
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 6: were very adamant that the relationship was a work, was

384
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 6: publicity stun all of those things? Did they do they?

385
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 6: Is there a moment of public shame? Is there a

386
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 6: moment of apology? Is there a moment of you know what,

387
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 6: I shouldn't have doubted? What is America's greatest love story?

388
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 6: For my own Twitter gain, I don't know, Like they

389
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 6: seemed to be really into each other and it seems

390
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 6: to be a healthy, delightful relationship and now they're getting married.

391
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 6: Now I know what your follow up question is going

392
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 6: to be, which is am I going to be invited

393
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 6: to the wedding, to which I would say, that's a

394
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 6: very rude question to.

395
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: Ask, well, because I was going to ask you who

396
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: will be the maid of honor?

397
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 6: The maid of honor?

398
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: And I'm going Selena Gomez.

399
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 6: I gotta admit, in our years of knowing each other,

400
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 6: I think this is the first time I've ever said

401
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 6: this on this show. I'm not equipped to answer that question.

402
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 6: I like Taylor Swift, I respect Taylor Swift. I know

403
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 6: very little about Taylor Swift, so I can't. I'm not

404
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 6: now who will be? We know who the best man's

405
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 6: going to be. That'll be Jason h one hundred percent

406
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 6: of the time. And there is something just delightful to

407
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 6: the fact that Jason Kelsey and Taylor Swift god willing

408
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 6: are going to be spending dozens of holidays to get

409
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 6: moving forward, Like there is something charming about the idea

410
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 6: that there will be a Christmas Night sometime in the

411
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 6: future where Jason Kelsey, likely wearing overalls with nothing underneath

412
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 6: it an egg nog dripping from his beard, tries to

413
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 6: give Taylor Swift a giant bear hug. I just like that.

414
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 6: That feels very American and awesome to me.

415
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: They'll be crushing beers together.

416
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely right, absolutely right. Can I ask you your

417
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 6: take on someone else's theory because I think you'll like

418
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 6: it since you brought this up Kevin Wilde's National Treasure

419
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 6: coas the first things first when they first got together,

420
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 6: he said, this just confirms my long held belief that

421
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 6: all of life is high school. I'm like, what do

422
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 6: you mean? And he's like, if your tailor swift. In

423
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 6: high school, the only thing you you were the band girl,

424
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 6: You the only like you didn't get the prom queen

425
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 6: football player boyfriend, Like that's the one. You've accomplished everything

426
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 6: imaginable in life, but there is this one void, like

427
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 6: you didn't get to have that type of high school experience.

428
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 6: And what initially drew her to Travis was I get

429
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 6: to have it now I'm dating the star football player,

430
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 6: I'm going to the games. And that was their initial connection.

431
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 6: And I thought it was a brilliant take, And I

432
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 6: want your opinion on that take. That's not mine. But

433
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 6: now that I've said it on this platform, people be like,

434
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 6: you know what I heard, Nick? Right from those Kevin Lotlestey.

435
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: You'll get credit exactly right.

436
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 6: I gave him credit. Nobody could say I stole it,

437
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 6: but the people will forget. I think it's the right take.

438
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 6: Yeah time, I'm glad I came up with it.

439
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: I love love, I said from the beginning, and UH

440
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: have a bet with Fritzi. I thought that they were

441
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: going to get engaged. I thought that they were going

442
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: to get married. When people said, why do the why

443
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: do they keep showing her on camera? I go blame

444
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: the next It works, But if you have the like

445
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't make any sense that you have the biggest

446
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: pop star in the world and you wouldn't show her

447
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: on camera. Of course we show Robert Kraft ten times

448
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: every Sunday or Jerry Jones is there so right?

449
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 6: Or Jack Nicholson for our entire lives growing up like

450
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 6: this is the there are the threshold to get cutaways

451
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 6: during sporting events of what celebrity you need to be

452
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 6: is certainly below world's most famous woman like there.

453
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 8: I don't know what it is, but it is the

454
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 8: kid ump.

455
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 6: It cracks it, so I think Taylor Swift does.

456
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: But remember when Fox would invite like Party of five

457
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: is here at Yankee stadium down the right field line,

458
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: and I go, oh, they how did that happen?

459
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 6: All right, this feels you know, this feels like a

460
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 6: shot because I don't know if you watched last year's

461
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 6: World Series, but in the party of five seats was

462
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 6: Nick Wright and First Things First? Yeah, show yeah. And

463
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 6: now some will say, wow, how times of shames. I

464
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 6: would say, we're right on track. Boys, I do remember.

465
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: That we're talking to Nick Wright, host of First Things

466
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: First on Fox Sports one. How did the Chiefs not

467
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: make the Super Bowl?

468
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 6: Oh?

469
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: God, act of god.

470
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 6: You know, there's obviously one thing that could wreck their

471
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 6: season entirely, but I'm not gonna say that out loud.

472
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna even speak that into the universe.

473
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 4: Uh.

474
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 6: But uh, they're the best team in the league. They're

475
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 6: certainly the best team in the AFC. And Dan I

476
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 6: realized to tell a sports media tell you're gonna love this.

477
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 6: I know you're gonna love this because it's been very

478
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 6: trendy this offseason. This is not a straw man. This

479
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 6: isn't Nick looking, you know, scouring the internet for Chiefs dout.

480
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 6: It's been there in large supply, and that the Ravens

481
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 6: got better they're clearly the best roster. The Bills, you know,

482
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 6: we have ascended and the Chiefs, you know, is the

483
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 6: window not closed but closing? And oh my, has anyone

484
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 6: seen how bo Nicks plays against backups? Holy only the

485
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 6: AFC West is in jeopardy. That has been that take

486
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 6: has been everywhere all off season. And then Micah Parsons

487
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 6: maybe comes available, and all those same people with that,

488
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 6: the Chiefs are vulnerable. The Chiefs aren't the best. You

489
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 6: know what their take on Micah is man Buffalo or

490
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 6: Baltimore needs to make the phone call. It's like hold

491
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 6: on a second, No, you know what. No one has said.

492
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 6: If the Chiefs want a chance to get back to

493
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 6: the super Bowl, they need to trade for Micah Parsons.

494
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 6: Everyone is saying simultaneously, B block of the show, Ravens

495
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 6: and Bills are the class of the AFC. A block

496
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 6: of the next day show. The Ravens and Bills need

497
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 6: to trade for MICHAEH. Parsons to get over the hump.

498
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 6: What's the hump? America? Who are we talking about here?

499
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 6: Finish the thought so the Chiefs will be fine. Jeff Simmons,

500
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 6: uh had Josh Simmons pardon me hopefully has fixed a

501
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 6: left tackle position. I don't know if you saw it yesterday,

502
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 6: but every single receiver from the twenty twenty two Kansas

503
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 6: City Chiefs, when Mahomes one MVP set the all time

504
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 6: record for total yards in the season one Super Bowl

505
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 6: MVP is no longer in the NFL. And the Chiefs

506
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 6: won with that team, they'll be able to win with

507
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 6: this team.

508
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 4: I hate rankings. And I know it's good.

509
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: I know it's good conversation, good phil, But you know,

510
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 2: I go back to when ESPN said Michael Jordan's the

511
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: greatest college basketball player of all time.

512
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 6: Well that was that was the worst. That's the worst ranking.

513
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 6: That's and I'm not I'm not trying to get a

514
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 6: shot at Jordan there. I know people yes, no, yeah,

515
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 6: that's just that is that is an untenable opinion. That's like,

516
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 6: but go ahead.

517
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: So but the point is that we keep ranking these

518
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and you know, is Jalen Hurts the top five?

519
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 4: Is he a top ten all?

520
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: Mahomes doesn't have the stats, he shouldn't be in the time,

521
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: and I think if you ranked playoff quarterbacks, that to

522
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: me has more value. Now we won't do that, but

523
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: I would put the guys who have actually done this,

524
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: the guys who have produced when your team needs you

525
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: and you're going to a championship or a super Bowl.

526
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: Here it feels like we have two different rankings regular

527
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: season and then we would have postseason, because I don't

528
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: care where Jalen Hurts is ranked.

529
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 4: I just know on that team he's tremendous and he wins.

530
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, so yes, that is true. I also do think

531
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 6: I am interested in the impossible but always fun attempt

532
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 6: to separate player from team in a team sport concept.

533
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 6: And I know some people find it annoying if you're

534
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 6: like if you put Jalen Hurts on another team and

535
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 6: it's like, well, he's not on another team. But I

536
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 6: do find it somewhat instructive and at least a fund

537
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 6: mental exercise. So I in that context, I understand that Berkley,

538
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 6: are you the tractor or the trailer piece of this,

539
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 6: which is really what a lot of this is. It

540
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 6: goes back to a lot of my Brock Purdy skepticism,

541
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 6: you know, from a couple of years ago, which has

542
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 6: been proven correct in every single step of the way.

543
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 6: I think Jalen, I like you value playing your best

544
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 6: in the biggest spots, and he has played tremendously in

545
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 6: both Super Bowls. He is clearly very tough and he

546
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 6: does not blink in the big moment. With that said,

547
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 6: I am not that is enough to me to elevate him.

548
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 6: Would I rather have in a playoff game Jalen Hurts

549
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 6: or Lamar? I'd rather have Jalen Hurts in a playoff game?

550
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 6: It would I rather have Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen.

551
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 6: I'd rather have Josh Allen. Now, I know Josh hasn't

552
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 6: been to a Super Bowl, but he has played so

553
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 6: well in the postseason that you can't be like Ah.

554
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 6: The moment gets to him and so that to me though. Now, ideally,

555
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 6: in a perfect world, you would have a quarterback with

556
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 6: the greatest stats in the regular season and the postseason,

557
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 6: but unfortunately everyone can't be Chiefs fans.

558
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: If not the Eagles in the NFC, then who All right, right.

559
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 6: Now, I'm not picking the Eagles in the NFC. I

560
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 6: will answer this question. Will you ask your social media

561
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 6: people not to put it out because you are your

562
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 6: front running first things first prediction week? Look, is that

563
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 6: a deal? Because we make our big picks on Friday.

564
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Paul, would you tell the backroom guys that we

565
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: can't put this out of If you can't.

566
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 6: Put this out and I'm not going to ask you

567
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 6: on YouTube to bleep it, but this could be a

568
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 6: live audience exclusive.

569
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 4: Okay, got the.

570
00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Oh my goodness, oh my, that's I

571
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 6: know it's gonna be hard. Now your guys in the

572
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 6: back room are gonna be like, that is gonna that

573
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 6: is a viral, but viral bonanza. This guy nobody's had.

574
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 6: But I'm telling you, listen, we can talk the schedule,

575
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 6: the offense, fake show, A lot of stuff, A lot

576
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 6: of stuff to like the fact that if you don't

577
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 6: have Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes. Last twenty five years,

578
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 6: you win the Super Bowl. Half the team's more than

579
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 6: half the teams don't even win a playoff game the

580
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 6: next year. Only one team, Russell Wilson Seahawks, have gotten

581
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 6: back to the Super Bowl. No team is going back

582
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 6: to back NFC East in twenty years since Andy Reid

583
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 6: did it four straight times with Eagles. A lot of

584
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 6: things there a lot to like about the box.

585
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 4: All right, you watched the Cowboys documentary.

586
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 6: I've been gambling in Monaco. Dan, Sorry, I have not

587
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 6: watched it.

588
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 4: You just got to Netflix in Monica.

589
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 6: Hey, honey, I'm a about to retire to six straight

590
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 6: months of football at all times. We're in the south

591
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 6: of France. You go have fun. I'm gonna watch Jerry

592
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 6: Jones and Emma. Have you watched the Chiefs documentary? Kevin

593
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 6: Wilde's wife produced that, And the answer to that is

594
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 6: also no. Okay, not watched the Chiefs documentary. I'm not

595
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 6: an equal opportunity. It's fair and also too painful. Too painful.

596
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 6: I know how the story ends, you know, one of

597
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 6: the worst moments of my life.

598
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: Did you cry?

599
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 6: No? I didn't cry, but I'm didn't too much. I

600
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 6: was gonna get too far. I have to self censor.

601
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 6: Did I hurt myself? Make did I cry? You harmed

602
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 6: yourself again? That's why I said self at it. I

Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel four season as the Dolphins head coach and

655
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: of course a star wide receiver with the Yale Bulldogs.

656
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 4: Official height and weight coach.

657
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: Five nine and undisclosed because.

658
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: At Yale you were five nine one seventy five. But

659
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: that feels like that might have been inflated a little bit.

660
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 3: You know, it was actually closer to my true weight

661
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: at that time. I was inflated. My body wasn't really

662
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 3: built for that weight, but I was taking a lot

663
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: of supplements at the time.

664
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: Okay, legal supplements of course, of course above brow of course.

665
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 4: Were you Julian Edelman before Julian Edelman?

666
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 3: Yes, end statement. Yeah. Now I was limited to an

667
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: inside receiver route tree because of lack of linear speed

668
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: and as quicker than fast as they'd say, And I

669
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: did a lot of coaching while playing.

670
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: If you know what I mean, how about forty yard

671
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: Danish if you race Tyreek Hill?

672
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, he would get me, he would. I had to

673
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 4: think about it.

674
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: Okay, is there anybody closer to him speed wise?

675
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I think there's a lot of guys that

676
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 3: are that are that are fast, particularly on our team,

677
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: But I think what makes his speed unique is the acceleration.

678
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 3: You know, it's he gets top speed very quick. He's

679
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 3: almost speed on the third step of a route when

680
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: he's motioning. So the quickness and speed is hard to

681
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 3: it's hard to match. But there's several guys on the

682
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 3: team that will with absolute certainty say that they're faster

683
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 3: than him, even though they don't have a time as

684
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 3: fast as his.

685
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: But if you're calling plays knowing that he's so quick

686
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: at like, does it change if you're calling something, let's

687
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 2: say it's third and seven, you just want to get

688
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: him the ball because of that acceleration, not he has

689
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 2: to go out seven or eight yards.

690
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 3: No, you know, quite literally. One of the positives of

691
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: being in the same offensive system for my entire career.

692
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: You know, I came in two thousand and five learning

693
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: Mike Shanahan's and have stayed with it is realistically, the

694
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: what the offense is is a product of people's skill sets.

695
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 3: So we do a lot of timeing motion and because

696
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: we can utilize Tyreek and Waddell and et cetera at

697
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 3: that that their unique skill sets. So pretty much. Uh,

698
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: you know, all all players skill sets for us now

699
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: in the system are it was kind of adapted to

700
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 3: them and try to use their their best skills most frequently.

701
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 4: When did that change?

702
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 2: It felt like when quarterbacks were drafted, certainly in my era,

703
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: that you had to adapt to that coach and his philosophy.

704
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 4: Where it feels.

705
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: Like Cam Newton when he came in, it felt like

706
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: Carolina says, hey, we're going to cater to your needs.

707
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember since you were there

708
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: with Shanahan and five, Uh, did you see something a

709
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: seismic shift where you're kind of adapting your audience or

710
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: your your offense to that quarterback you're taking.

711
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, uh, you just hit on something super

712
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: interesting because the whole the whole tree underneath. Kyle Shanahan

713
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 3: learned that in twenty twelve when we had a rookie

714
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: RG three at quarterback and we're gonna jump into the

715
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: game of zone read, and uh, realistically, we completely adapted.

716
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: You know, I was an offensive assistant, you know, Matt

717
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: Lafleur was the quarterback coach. Sean McVay was the Titans coach,

718
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator.

719
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: You know.

720
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 3: Raheem Morris was the defense or secondary coach. Bobby Sloak

721
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 3: was outside linebackers coach. All these people first hand where

722
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 3: we had our offense from what we ran in Houston

723
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 3: and extension Denver and then retooled it in Washington, and

724
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 3: then for for me personally and and Kyle, we went

725
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 3: we got fired and then went to Cleveland and had

726
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: a job and didn't want to get fired, so we

727
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: tried to adapt to those players. And then we did

728
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 3: the same thing when we went to Atlanta. So it

729
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 3: was it's really in the course of the journey. Early on,

730
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 3: we we had the opportunity to you know, directly, you know,

731
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 3: evolve the offense to cater to players' needs. And you know,

732
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 3: I've kind of seen everything through that lens.

733
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: Since most talented quarterback you've ever been around? Talented what

734
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 2: the quarterback quarterbacking?

735
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: You know, I would I would say, uh, you know,

736
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan was up there, but I think two was

737
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: probably the most talented quarterback. The most talented, uh speed

738
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 3: threat was probably Robert Griffin the third you know, so

739
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: he was fast and before the defense schematically caught up

740
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: to us. You know, he do his Rookie of the

741
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: Year for a reason. Matt Ryan played the game in

742
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 3: a unique way that really changed a lot of stuff

743
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: that we do in the dropback game based upon how

744
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 3: how good he was. And then there was one of

745
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 3: the best quarterbacks at play action pass that's super underrated

746
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 3: was Matt shab He was. He was really good at

747
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 3: utilizing Andrew Johnson's speed and being able to avoid sacks

748
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 3: while getting explosives.

749
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 2: Talking to Mike McDaniel, four season is the Dolphins head coach.

750
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: You start out, you got Indy at Indy, then host

751
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: New England at Buffalo, and then host New York.

752
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 4: How much pressure do you feel?

753
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 3: No. I always think that's funny because I think I

754
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 3: would have to be deluged and all to not you know,

755
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 3: expect you know, I think you take a job like

756
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 3: this and you're working in the NFL, and for me,

757
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 3: I'm preparing to have this job, and then I take

758
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: the job, and I'm very much aware of the black

759
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 3: and white reality of you know, wins and losses and

760
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 3: and how things, how you're able to you know, sustain

761
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: the job and keep the job and evolve. The program

762
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 3: is all based on, you know, the nuts and bolts

763
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 3: of winning and losing games. So I think everything that

764
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 3: I do to prepare has always been to kind of

765
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 3: be my best self in moments of pressure. And yeah,

766
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 3: I mean I know it exists, but I don't feel

767
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 3: it because it's kind of you know, ingrained or attached

768
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: to what I understand this job to be.

769
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 4: How much do you take home with you?

770
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: You know, the gift of you know, my one and

771
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 3: only daughter has has really helped, uh, you know, create

772
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 3: some boundaries for myself. You know, I carry stuff through

773
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 3: the through the car ride home, but when I get home,

774
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 3: especially when you have a short compressed time to to

775
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 3: be something that's, you know, pillar of importance in who

776
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 3: you are as a person, which is being a father.

777
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 3: For me, I get to I get the gift of

778
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 3: being able to get home, see her face, engage her,

779
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: and try to leave it at work, because you have

780
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 3: to be balanced in life to have your edge at

781
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: your performance really for whatever you're doing. So uh, you know,

782
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 3: I think earlier in my career I struggled to do that,

783
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 3: but my daughter's really helped me out with that one.

784
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: When you were growing up and you were getting those

785
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: autographs when you go to the Broncos camp, do you

786
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: still have those autographs?

787
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 3: I do in a trunk somewhere.

788
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 4: What are some of your favorite autographs that you got

789
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 4: when you were a kid.

790
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: I had. I had one sleeve of cards like in

791
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: the plastic, but it was a sleeve and a binder

792
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 3: that kept all the autographs, and it was probably the

793
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 3: John Oa page. I had about seven of them because

794
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 3: I was a relentless obsessed daily visitor at Denver Brocks

795
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: training camp. So those were probably my favorite. Or you know,

796
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 3: the the Robert del Pino one that led to uh

797
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 3: to me meeting my stepdad. That was probably the two

798
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 3: best ones that that got me uh connected with Mike

799
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 3: Shanahan in the first place.

800
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so explain that because it wasn't it an assistant coach, right,

801
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 2: explain how your mom met her your stepdad?

802
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's the normal nuclear family trajectory of

803
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 3: a child introducing uh mother and stepfather.

804
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 4: Of course happens all the time.

805
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I was getting an autograph. Uh. Well, I would

806
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 3: go to Denver Bronco training camp and uh and get

807
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 3: autographs daily. I had a Charlotte Hornet's fitted loud purple

808
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 3: and teal hat and uh it was noticeable. So I

809
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 3: got Robert Delpino's autograph earlier in the day. I wanted

810
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 3: to get another one. As an only child, I guess

811
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 3: I just wanted more. So I put the hat down,

812
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 3: got the autograph, came back, the hat was gone. I

813
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 3: was about nine at the time. So I was crying

814
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 3: and a member of the Broncos was uh interested in

815
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 3: while I was freaking out. I told him about the hat.

816
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 3: He took down the measurements. A couple of days later,

817
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 3: he saw me again at training camp because I was

818
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 3: automatic at Lawrence Hall at the time, and he uh

819
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 3: he gave me a hat with a price tag on it.

820
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 3: He went out to the Greeley mall and bought me

821
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 3: a hat, and so then I thought he was worthy

822
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 3: of meeting my mother. So I introduced them and they

823
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 3: got married and moved to Denver and was as a result,

824
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 3: he was an assistant video guy for for the Broncos

825
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: and I got to at age fourteen. I was a

826
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 3: ball boy through high school and you know, really got

827
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 3: in the NFL door, you know, being able to be

828
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 3: around the guys and stuff from you know, before I

829
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 3: could drive.

830
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of love, your reaction to Travis Kelsey and

831
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift getting engaged was what.

832
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 3: Oh you just told me? I didn't know, that's my reaction.

833
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 4: How do you not know?

834
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 3: Well, you, uh, you keep yourself from anything that's multimedia,

835
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 3: and then, uh, you make yourself a terrible conversation when

836
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 3: people bring up pop culture and you do that over time,

837
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: and then you don't know anything that you uh, you know,

838
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 3: I'm pumped to hear about it now, I guess, you know,

839
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 3: I think there's layers to to my reaction. You know,

840
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 3: you know, I'm hoping it's a loved love based relationship

841
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 3: and you know, and good for them. You know, finally,

842
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 3: finally they're not I mean finally they're doing it the

843
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 3: old fashioned way, you know, where people shouldn't really enter

844
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 3: into any escapades unless they're married. You know.

845
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 2: So, now, if one of your guys gets engaged, do

846
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: you expect to be invited to the wedding?

847
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 3: Now, I'm the boss, like, so, I appreciate if I am,

848
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 3: But my expectation is that nobody wants to hang out

849
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: with me ever that I'm the boss.

850
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 4: Of Are you a buzzkill?

851
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 3: No, it's just the nature of boss, you know. The

852
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 3: nature of boss is like, all right, this isn't work.

853
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 3: Why do I feel like it's work? Oh, because there's

854
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 3: the guy that may or may not be judging me,

855
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 3: you know. So I don't get my feelings hurt. I

856
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 3: don't have high expectations for that, just understanding the role

857
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 3: and responsibility.
