1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Final Hour on this Wednesday, Dan and the Dan Ets

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show. More of your phone calls coming up,

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: update the poll results. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock.

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: That's our streaming partner, and we say good morning to

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: our radio affiliates around the country. Eight seven to seven

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: to three DP. Show operator Tyler is sitting by a

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: few things NFL wise, the merger between the mothership, NFL

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: Network and the NFL ten percent stake in ESPN. Now,

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: it's probably going to have to wait until twenty twenty six.

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at some of the details, and these

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: negotiations have lasted for about four years, but they finally

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: have figured out how they can do this. The deal

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: is subject to regulatory approval. If approved, it likely won't

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: take effect until at least twenty twenty six. As part

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: of the deal, ESPN will get an additional three NFL

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: games per season they were air on NFL network partnership,

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: and you have, you know, three entities here, NFL Network,

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: the mothership, and NFL getting a ten percent ownership stake

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: in ESPN. I think from what I'm looking at, we'll

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: find out a little bit more here later on in

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: the hour, but this might help with the distribution around

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: the world, having the partnership with the SPN. I'm just

25
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: curious about what it means for you, the consumer. Likely,

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: what's this costing you? That's that's really all I care about,

27
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: you know, is the red zone going to cost more?

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: Springing Mike Florio, Pro Football Talk Live co host is

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: new book, Big Shield, comes out August nineteenth. That's about

30
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: the intersection of gambling, the mob, and pro football. You

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: can pre order the ebook for just ninety nine cents

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: on Amazon. What does this deal mean? Let's start with

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: the consumer. Why would they care about this merger?

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that the consumer was at the

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: front of the mind for either of the party get

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: involved in this. Frankly, the NFL has had essentially a

37
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: struggling media property in NFL Network. It's never become what

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: they thought it was going to be. They created Thursday

39
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: Night Football as a way to prop up NFL Network.

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: It debuted in two.

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: Thousand and six as a back half of the season

42
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: Thursday Night package to give NFL Network something that would

43
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: make cable providers want it.

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: It still never really.

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: Took off, and they've been trying for years to unload it. Dan,

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: I mean like ten years they've been trying to get

47
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 3: rid of this, and they've tied it different things. NBC

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 3: was in the conversation at one point, and now they

49
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 3: get ten percent equity in ESPN for these failing properties.

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't know that the consumer was the

51
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: main reason for this. And now the question becomes, how

52
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 3: do we make this seamless for the consumer? You know,

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: for example, ESPN did a deal as part of this

54
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: to continue to televise the draft for the next five years. Well,

55
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: when you turn on NFL network for the draft, are

56
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: you going to see Rich Eisen?

57
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: Now are you gonna see Mike Greenberg? Who's it going

58
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: to be?

59
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: And I think it's important for them to keep things

60
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: normal from the perspective of the consumer, because I think

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: most people are afraid number one, things are going to

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: change and number two, we're gonna get screwed. I just

63
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: think that's the natural reaction to this news that these

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: two behemoths have come together.

65
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: One of the first things that came to mind is

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: what if Fox has a problem with their deal or

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: the NFL says to Fox here, take it, take it

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: or leave it. We'll have some like I don't know

69
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: if there's gonna be well, the NFL is in bed

70
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: with ESPN, and what's that mean for the other TV partners?

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: We will see and look, you give the league ten

72
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: percent equity in your company, and maybe the value isn't

73
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: there to support it, but you know what's not going

74
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: to happen. You're not gonna lose Monday Night Football. You're

75
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: not gonna lose your spot in the Super Bowl rotation.

76
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: You are now a permanent partner of the NFL at

77
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: a time when all the tech companies are hovering and

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: the TV deals are up after twenty twenty nine, technically

79
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: twenty thirty three, but the league has the ability to

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: pull the plug, and obviously they will. ESPN doesn't have

81
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: to worry about being left out in the cold and

82
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: Dan the other thing this does, and this really needs

83
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: to be fleshed out by the union. Instead of taking

84
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: money for these properties, taking equity. That may screw the

85
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: players because the players don't share equity with the league.

86
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 4: The players share money with the league.

87
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: So you're offloading more games to ESPN and they're not

88
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: paying X one hundred million for them.

89
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: They're giving you equity all under.

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: The CBA that equity may be exclusive to ownership, and

91
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: until equity turns into money, players don't get a penny.

92
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: That's something the new interim executive director of the union

93
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: had better put at the top of his to do

94
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: list to figure out, how are we possibly getting screwed

95
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: by this.

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: You might be the first person, maybe the only person

97
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: who pointed this out, but Jerry Jones talking to Micah

98
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Parsons without representation in there is not allowable. But Jerry

99
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: wants the conversation to be allowable, and that they had

100
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: a deal back in March. So what is the rule

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: of an owner talking directly to a player about a contract?

102
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you really couldn't make this up. The Jerry Jones

103
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 3: and Chris Simms made this point earlier day on PFT Live.

104
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 3: Certain owners will invoke any and all rules that help them. Well,

105
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: that's the rule, Hey, the rules of the rules contracts contracts.

106
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: CBA says we can do this.

107
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: But as to the stuff that gets in the way

108
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: of what we're trying to do, forget about the rules.

109
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 4: And it's clear in the CBA.

110
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: If there is a verbal agreement that has reached between

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: a player and a team. It must be reduced to

112
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: writing as soon as practical, the idea that they did

113
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: a handshake deal back in March.

114
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 4: And I think you know, if there was a flow.

115
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: Chart, Dan, step one would be, will Micah accept the

116
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: deal that he supposedly agreed to in March, which surely

117
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: is far less than whatever.

118
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: He wants now? And if he won't, I think what

119
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: Jerry's trying to.

120
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: Do is get Mica to play for twenty four million

121
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 3: this year and they're kick it all the next year.

122
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: But you're right under the CBA, you can't do this.

123
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: You can't negotiate directly with the players. The agent is

124
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: the exclusive representative certified by the union to act as

125
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: the union in the dealings between player and team, and

126
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: the NFL hasn't.

127
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 4: Done anything about it.

128
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: The union hasn't done anything about it. So hey, if

129
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm Jerry Jones and they're not gonna tell me I

130
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: can't do it, what the hell I'll keep doing it.

131
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 5: How's this play out?

132
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: I really do think that Jim wants Micah to either

133
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: take the deal that they had a handshake on in

134
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 3: March or play for twenty four million this year and

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: kick it to next year.

136
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: Because the key is this.

137
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: Dan, the longer the team can keep the injury risk

138
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: on the player, the more the team is protected against

139
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: something happening to the player that would keep him from

140
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: ever playing again, or playing as well as he used to.

141
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: Career ending or career limiting. The risk is on the player,

142
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: not on us, and for the team that's dealing with

143
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: a bunch of different players. The more times you can

144
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: keep that risk on the players, the better off you

145
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: are over the long haul. And we've seen that they

146
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: kick the can with Dak Prescott. You know, they kicked

147
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: the can until somebody says enough. That's why I still

148
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: think he should have held out. If he'd have held out,

149
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: they would eventually have caved like they did for Ceedee

150
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: Lamb last year, like they did for Ezekiel Elliott.

151
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: In twenty nineteen.

152
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: They're going to try to I think, if he won't

153
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 3: take the deal that he supposedly agreed to in March,

154
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: they're going to try to kick this to next year.

155
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: And I know twenty four million sounds like a lot

156
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: of money, but when the market's forty one and Mike

157
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: should be getting forty five, yeah, you don't want to

158
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: play this year for twenty four.

159
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: Why doesn't somebody say to Jerry Jones, you know, Jerry,

160
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: you can't negotiate a contract with a player.

161
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: And well, because for whatever reason, nobody is willing to

162
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: tell Jerry Jones he can't do it, and the union

163
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: hasn't filed a grievance.

164
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: It would be very easy to do.

165
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: If this new interim executive director wants to make a splash.

166
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: What he could do, what David White could do, immediately

167
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: file a grievance against the Cowboys and Jerry Jones for

168
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: dealing directly with players when they should be dealing with

169
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: the agent you want, you want to try to balance

170
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 3: out the relationship a little bit, stand up and fight

171
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: for your players.

172
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: Talking to Mike Florio, Pro Football Talk Live, co host

177
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: of nowhere, the NFL comes out with no more smelling salts?

178
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: Where's this been?

179
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: Or you know what took so long?

180
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 3: It's been sixteen years since they had their concussion epiphany.

181
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: The first time I ever became aware of smelling salts,

182
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: it was in a movie or a TV show where

183
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: a boxer gott knocked senseless and they stuck it under

184
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: his nose to wake him up. And now they're finally like, oh,

185
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: it could mask the symptoms of a concussion. Yeah, of

186
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: course it can. That's why they use them. And how

187
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: many years have we seen like the images of a

188
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: guy on the sidelines, not because he's taken a blow

189
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: to the head, but just it kind of gets them going,

190
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: Like it's always been a weird look for the NFL,

191
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden they realize probably not

192
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: a good idea to supply these, and they haven't banned them.

193
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: You can bring your own, I assume, bring your own

194
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: smelling salts, stick them in your sock, and if you

195
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: need a little kick before the game, so be it.

196
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: But it's always been a strange thing to me, the

197
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: huffing of ammonia at a time when they're ultra sensitive

198
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: to concussions, where the smelling salts are always the thing

199
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: that they use to wake a guy up who's taking

200
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: a blow to the head.

201
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so they're taking the liability away from the teams.

202
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: Now it's on you. If you want to use smelling salts,

203
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,239
Speaker 2: you can. We just we're not taking any ownership.

204
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: We're not supplying them.

205
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: Now they'd have to negotiate with the union. See that's

206
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: the thing, and this gets back to collective bargaining. The

207
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: league never wants to have to give anything up just

208
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: because currently the players are allowed to bring their own

209
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: smelling salts, they're not banned from using them. So they

210
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: have to sit down and give up a little of this,

211
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: give up a little of that. Maybe do a handshake

212
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: deal with Jerry Jones in the room, and the next

213
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: thing you know, the players are banned from using them

214
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: at all. But yes, this is a liability thing, Dan,

215
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: we can't get sued. We can't get in trouble for

216
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 3: supplying these to somebody who has a concussion and they

217
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: take the hit of it, and they go back in

218
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: and play and they get a second concussion and they

219
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: have a serious injury as a result of it.

220
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: If I'm a Rams fan and I'm listening watching concerned

221
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: about Matthew Stafford, what would you tell the Rams fan

222
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: today about this situation?

223
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 4: I would say that for now, you should not be concerned.

224
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: I believe, and I'm told he'll be back on the

225
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: field later this week. Now, I don't know where that means.

226
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: He's going to be fully participating in practice. Would be

227
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: working out on the field of a month to get

228
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: ready for week one. And Matthew Stafford I said this

229
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: earlier day. If he wrote an autobiography, the chapter on

230
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: all the injuries that he's had in his career would

231
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: be the longest chapter in any book that's ever been written.

232
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: He's had injuries we know about, He's had injuries we

233
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: don't know about.

234
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: He just sucks it up and he keeps going.

235
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: I think they have deliberately given him time to let

236
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: the back settle down. Anybody that's ever had a back

237
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: problem knows it operates on its own timetable and it

238
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: needs a certain period of time to get back to normal,

239
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: and they wanted to, I believe, let it get to

240
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 3: normal and give it even more time before they put

241
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: him out there, because they don't want this to keep

242
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: coming up throughout the course.

243
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 4: To the season.

244
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: Troy Aikman has said, Hey, people think I retired because

245
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: of concussions. I retired because of back problems, and you

246
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 3: think of a way that quarterbacks move and the twisting

247
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: and the torking.

248
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: They're just giving him extra time. I think it'll be

249
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: good to go.

250
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 5: Are the Browns trying to win this year?

251
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: I think that they're trying to do Dan.

252
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 3: It's a twist on the plot of Major League Their

253
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: fans are upset that they're moving out of downtown Cleveland, right,

254
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: so if they are really really bad, the fans won't

255
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: be as upset that they're moving to suburban Brook Park

256
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: when they build their new stadium. It really is ridiculous

257
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: to me, and this is what happens when you prioritize

258
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: strategizing and analytics over building a football team. You don't

259
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: draft Shade or Sanders in round five when you've taken

260
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel in round three, you don't obviously give up

261
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: three first round picks plus and a two hundred and

262
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: thirty million dollars fully guaranteed contract in Shaan Watson. It's

263
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: like every decision point the Browns have in front of

264
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 3: them over the past ten years, they've gone the wrong

265
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: way and here's where they are.

266
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 4: So, yeah, this is gonna be It just feels like

267
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 4: it's going.

268
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: To be a disaster for the Browns, and I feel

269
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: bad for Browns fans. They deserve so much better than

270
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: what they've gotten. And it all goes back to ownership.

271
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: It all starts there, and what they've gotten under Jimmy

272
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: Haslam has been unacceptable.

273
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: What does Deshaun Watson do every day.

274
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: Well, he is working his way back Dan to full health.

275
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: And that is where this messy quarterback situation gets even worse.

276
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: When he shows up with the piece of paper that

277
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: says you're good to go. They got a decision to make.

278
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: They either got to put him on the fifty three

279
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: man roster with however many other quarterbacks they're going to

280
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: carry into the season, or they have to release him

281
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: and Dan.

282
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 4: If they release him, they take.

283
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: A one hundred and thirty million dollars cap charge next

284
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: year for his contract.

285
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 4: If they release him right now.

286
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: So he may be on the roster, we may have

287
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: a fight under the CBA where the player says I'm

288
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: healthy and the team says, no, you're not, and they

289
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: have a grievance where the doctors fight it out to

290
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: prove whether or not Deshaun Watson's healthy and if he wins.

291
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: They've either got to put him on the roster or

292
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 4: they have to cut him. That's it.

293
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 3: And they're not going to cut him because they're not

294
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: going to take that one hundred and thirty one million

295
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: dollar cap charge next year.

296
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 5: Does Deshaun Watson want to play football game?

297
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: I think he looked, and you know, I think where

298
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 3: the worm may have turned for him, because you know,

299
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: between the rustiness and the injuries and the off field issues,

300
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: I think it really did affect him as a human being.

301
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: How could it not all those different things. And look,

302
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: I'm not excusing it direct result of his own alleged misbehavior,

303
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: but when the owner of the team comes out and

304
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: says in March Man, we really took a swing and

305
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: a miss on.

306
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: That one, that's kind of a middle finger to Deshaun Watson.

307
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 6: So now he's got a purpose, he's got a reason,

308
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 6: he's got he's got an apollo creed for his Rocky

309
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 6: bow Bull to try to make this a comeback story.

310
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: And I'm sure he'd love to stick it to Jimmy

311
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: Haslam and put the Browns in the position where they've

312
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: got to activate him and put him back on the roster.

313
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: I think the guy fully intends to get healthy and

314
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: come back and try to be the guy that he

315
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: was that made the Browns give up all that stuff

316
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: to get him.

317
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 5: Can Justin Tucker play again?

318
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 4: Well, he's going to have to serve the ten game suspension.

319
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: But you know, Dan, the reality is this, he dipped

320
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: last year from a performance standpoint.

321
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: Now if he can convince a.

322
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: Team that he can show up and kick like he

323
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: used to, then you get into the question of do

324
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: we want to take and this look, I hate to

325
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: be the cynical, but this is the way it works.

326
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: What's the pr hit. What kind of criticism are we

327
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: going to take if we bring in Justin Tucker? How

328
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 4: much better is he going to make us?

329
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: Are we better off just getting a guy no one

330
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: knows to be our kicker? That's the analysis of team's

331
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: going to have to make.

332
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you. Thank you again, Mike, see

333
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: you about that. It's Mike Florio fighting a good fight.

334
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: Pro Football Talk Live co host NBC Football Night in America.

335
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Justin.

336
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: Tucker, you know, the combination of everything that happened off

337
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: the field and on the field, he wasn't good or

338
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: wasn't up to his Hall of Fame standards made it

339
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: easy for the Ravens to go.

340
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 5: We can say goodbye to.

341
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: You, but if this is three years ago, then all

342
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: of a sudden you have to weigh the It's just

343
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: like when Michael Vick came out of prison and he

344
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: went to the Eagles. All Right, there's going to be

345
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: a pr hit. How long is it going to last?

346
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: Is it worth it?

347
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 3: You know?

348
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: Ray Rice? Ray Rice couldn't overcome that. But he was

349
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: a little bit older as a running back, and we

350
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: couldn't overcome that. We see this all the time. It's

351
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: you know, what are you accused of? And how good

352
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: are you? It's kind of a you know, this scale

353
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: balancing that you have with some teams like you know,

354
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: and I always love when the owner or the GM

355
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: or the coach, everybody deserves a second chance. Okay, you'll

356
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: go get him, all right, We'll take a break. More

Speaker 2: DP show. Mike McCarthy, Front office sports senior media reporter

377
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 2: and tuned in columnists joining us on the program. Mike,

378
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us. What did ESPN buy from NFL Network?

379
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 8: I think they bought themselves an insurance policy, Dan. I

380
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 8: think when you look at the future and you see

381
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 8: streamers like Apple coming in, it's going to be a

382
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 8: lot harder for NFL to get rid of ESPN or

383
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 8: take away their Monday Night package if they're actual equity

384
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 8: partners together. So I think that's one thing. I think

385
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 8: number two they bought a huge selling point for their

386
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 8: new direct to consumer platform, red Zone, NFL Network, NFL programming,

387
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 8: this is the beachfront property that we all want. So

388
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 8: I think those are the two big things.

389
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 5: Anybody else consider this move buying NFL network.

390
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, they talked to a lot of people, and only ESPN,

391
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 8: you know, came up and stepped up to the table.

392
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 8: And I think there's going to be a lot of

393
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 8: grousing Dan amongst the other media partners. Is ESPN going

394
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 8: to get favored nation treatment? Are they going to get

395
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 8: a better game schedule? Are they gonna get more Super Bowls?

396
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 8: But you know, I think the NFL's answer to that

397
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 8: will be tough. You had your chance and just like

398
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 8: the NFL TV partners passed on Thursday Night Football and

399
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 8: it ended up on Amazon, they had their chance and

400
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 8: they didn't go for it.

401
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 5: Does Fox have a gripe about this? Does NBC have

402
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: a gripe? Will they?

403
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: As you said, it feels like the NFL is going

404
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: to give preferential treatment to ESPN, and you know, as

405
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: a result of this deal, I.

406
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 8: Think they will have a gripe. I think there's going

407
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 8: to be grumbling. I think there's gonna be some you know,

408
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 8: working of the referees as it were then, you know,

409
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 8: to trying to make sure everybody gets favored nation status.

410
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 8: But in the end of the NFL doesn't care. The

411
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 8: NFL makes up the rules and they play by their

412
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 8: own rules, and you know, if they don't like it,

413
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 8: they can go pound sand.

414
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: So in three years from now, Stephen A. Smith is

415
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: handing out the Lombardi Trophy.

416
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 8: Well, actually I was hoping you would do it then.

417
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going back to the Mothership, but you know,

418
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 2: maybe rich Eisen can, because they it would be awesome

419
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: if Chris Berman got to hand out a super Bowl trophy.

420
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 8: And that was one of my favorite stories recently was

421
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 8: ESPN extending Boomer through his fiftieth year at the Mothership

422
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 8: and making sure he's part of the super Bowl. You know,

423
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 8: as you know Dan, you know, ESPN has wanted the

424
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 8: Super Bowl since its founding. They've got a countdown clock

425
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 8: there on Bristol, you know, ticking away the time until

426
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 8: twenty twenty seven. So it's gonna be big for that.

427
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: I remember when I was up there, what was at

428
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: the forty fifth anniversary, and I was talking to Jimmy Pataro,

429
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 2: and I said, don't let Chris Berman disappear. Don't let

430
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 2: him disappear. The network owes him. Make sure you keep

431
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: him on primetime. And you know what he did. He said,

432
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: you know, I really appreciate you tell me that. I said,

433
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 2: this is what Chris lives for. This is important to him,

434
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: and I truly mean that. You know what he's meant.

435
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: He's the most important person in the history of ESPN

436
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: because of what he's done for that place and continues

437
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: to do it. So if he got a chance to

438
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: hand out the Super Bowl Trophy, the only problem is

439
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: they would have to tell Chris, you got to speed up,

440
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: though you can't meet you know, spending a lot of

441
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: time at you know, time is money, get the trophy,

442
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: do your interviews, and then send it back up to

443
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: the booth.

444
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 8: That's right, that's right. He's got to get it. He's

445
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 8: got to get it together to do it fast. But

446
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 8: I mean, you're right. I mean, NFL Prime Time was

447
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 8: so influential back in the day for the Internet and

448
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 8: all the rest of it. That's how we got our highlights,

449
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 8: you know, that's how we checked that our fantasy football

450
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 8: players and we lived and died by that show.

451
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: Talking to Mike McCarthy, it's front office sports senior media reporter,

452
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: I brought up the conflict of interest with the Mothership

453
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: and the NFL.

454
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 5: I don't know if it matters.

455
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: You know that they own ten percent of ESPN now,

456
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: and you know ESPN has been a partner with NFL forever. Anyway,

457
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: I mean, this now just becomes official. Is there any

458
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 2: thought to that from ESPN side of this, of the

459
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: optics of how this looks?

460
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 8: You know, I was asking them about it today and

461
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 8: they don't see it as a problem. I mean, ESPN

462
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 8: is already paying two point seven billion dollars a year

463
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 8: for Monday Night football rights, which is far more than

464
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 8: any other media reporter. You know, as a journalist. Does

465
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 8: it concern me? Yes, But I think these issues are

466
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 8: come under the heading of the horses out of the barn.

467
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 8: You know, we're not going back to the days where

468
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 8: ESPN is going to do playmakers or do something that's

469
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 8: going to tick off Paul Tagloubu or Roger Goodell. They

470
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 8: know that the NFL is where it's at and they

471
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 8: want to stay on the good side of the NFL.

472
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: The future of red zone is.

473
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 8: Future of Red Zone is not going to change, Thank you.

474
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 8: Scott Hansen will continue to host The Red Zone, they

475
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 8: will continue to produce the show NFL Network. However, here's

476
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 8: the real wrinkle in this, Dan is, ESPN gets the

477
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 8: rights to the Red Zone brand, so they will in

478
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 8: the future be able to do future red zones for

479
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 8: other league partners. Now, if I'm a ESPN I'm going

480
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 8: to the NBA right now and saying I want to

481
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 8: do a red zone for the NBA, especially with Amazon

482
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 8: and NBC breathing down my neck this.

483
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 5: Wall, Well, they would have the licensing for red Zone.

484
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 8: You're saying, that's right, and they would be able to

485
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 8: create a red zone for the NBA, a red zone

486
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 8: for the NHL, possibly a red zone for college football,

487
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 8: and ESPN would own those new rights going forward.

488
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: Great work, keep it up, Mike. Great to talk to

489
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: you again, Thank you for joining us.

490
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 8: Thank you, Dan.

491
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 2: That's Michael McCarthy. He's a front office sports your media reporter.

492
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 9: All right.

493
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: It's interesting, but once again, some of it is kind

494
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: of inside TV, and that's where I want to kind

495
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 2: of figure out what it's going to mean to us

496
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: the consumer, you know, the cord cutting. You know, that

497
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 2: was a big reason why Mothership was trying to how

498
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: do we how do we, you know, ensure ourself that

499
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: we're going to continue to be worth whatever it is.

500
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 2: I think the three years ago twenty six billion dollars

501
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: the evaluation was with the Mothership. Now you add this

502
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: and it feels like NFL Network or they finally get

503
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: a home. ESPN gets more programming and a better relationship

504
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 2: with the league, and the league gets more distribution. It

505
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: feels like it's a win win win until you get

506
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: your cable bill and all of a sudden you go,

507
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: wait a minute, why am I paying for Scott Hanson here?

508
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: Even though I love Scott, but you're going to be

509
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 2: paying for it somehow, some way the direct to consumer.

510
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 10: Over the past fifteen years, ESPN has had a goal

511
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 10: zone goal line system for college football. It's not as

512
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 10: robust and perfect like the NFL because the games aren't

513
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 10: scheduled exactly that way, but they do have a bit

514
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 10: of a cutaway system to watch college football highlights.

515
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: John and Syracuse. Hi John, what's on your mind today?

516
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 9: Hey Dan, I'm sitting on this for a while.

519

520
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,640

521
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 11: like I'm eating my own face, Okay, Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 11: JD in the straight Shots, minimumkindness, big head syndrome, unpleasantly

526
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 11: stiff league, curated audio, wisdom in silence, absolute fury, occasional vacuum,

527
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 11: diminishing resumes, the reefer, perfect storm of crap tainted with sewage,

528
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 11: tragedy strewn screwball and dead leg PATCHI fog hate wish,

548
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,359

550
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,480

00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,720

00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 15: Forever guys stuck at port side. Hey, Marvin, don't let

562
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 15: Dan lie to you. By the way, even us midwestern

563
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 15: white boys wanted aout Charlotte Hornets starter jacket. But speaking

564
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 15: of unis, Tampa Bay just revealed their like awesome nineteen

565
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 15: seventy six throwbacks that white with the creamsicle accident. I

566
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 15: wanted to know your guys' opinion on the best throwbacks

567
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 15: from the NFL.

568
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: Okay, but thank you, Corey. But hold on here. Not

569
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: everybody was in on the cream sickle. They made fun

570
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: of the cream sickle because Tampa wasn't good. If if

571
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: you had Patrick Mahomes wear cream sickle, it's going to

572
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: look good because it's Patrick Mahomes, or if Josh Allen's

573
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: wearing it, if you go back man, history was not

574
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: kind to the creamsickle uniform.

575
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 5: I love it.

576
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: In fact, the griff artist Arsy, who did all the

577
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: work in the fieldhouse there out on the basketball court

578
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: in the football field, I had him come in when

579
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: Tom Brady went to Tampa Bay, and I had him

580
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: come in and repaint Brady as a Patriot. And I said, hey,

581
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: I want you to do the cream sickle And he said,

582
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: you're going to have to explain that to me. And

583
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: I said, here's the picture of the uniform. And if

584
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: you're watching on Peacock now, I asked my artist, who

585
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: is a wonderful street artist, and Arsy came in and

586
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: put Tom Brady in the creamsicle and it looks great

587
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: because it's Tom Brady in a creamsickle. That's the big difference.

588
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: Craig in Virginia. Hi, Craig, what's on your mind today?

589

632
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: say McEnroe. I mean he was just he was at

633
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: the peak of his powers. Everybody loved you know, you

634
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: were seeing something great. But I got to see Connor's

635
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: and Sampress in borg uh In, so many great great

636
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: tennis But I von Lendel, Yes, Marv.

637
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 17: Would tennis be more popular here if we had better

638
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 17: American players or if the best players were American?

639
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 5: Sure?

640
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 17: Yeah, which just seems like the biggest stars like McEnroe

641
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 17: and those guys, well, when.

642
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: You had Sampress and Agacy Connors, McEnroe, I mean, there

643
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: are just so many great players. Andy Roddick's our last

644
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: he was our last great hope, but you know, and

645
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: he took some of the great players toe to toe.

646
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: I don't have a brew pub. Paul could probably find

647
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: one in Cincinnati.

648
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 10: The only Cincinnati beer I know and have tried is Rheingeist,

649
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 10: which is old school, great looking cans, and I know

650
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 10: they have a brewery and nice cans.

651
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think I answered all your questions. Yes,

652
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: I don't have a brew pub or anything like that

653
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, but I think Cincinnati is home to probably

654
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: the best potato chips I've ever had in my whole life.

655

657
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: if they're barbecue or whatever, but one time I was

658
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 2: driving through Ohio and in the Cincinnati area, I stopped

659
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: and got the best I think it's called Grippo's, the

660
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: best bag of potato chips I've ever had in my

661
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:49,520

Speaker 2: Lake Tahoe. He was a great interview. He was on

695
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: the Pivot podcast and he was asked about Travis Hunter

696
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: playing both offense and defense.

697
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 18: I don't even think it's possible to do for real,

698
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 18: not at a high level, and then go in there.

699
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 18: It's hard enough to go cover a punt and then

700
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 18: and then be on you know, one side, you know,

701
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 18: and I didn't.

702
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 5: I haven't done it.

703
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 18: I'm not acting like I'm going to kickoff for a punt.

704
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 18: But I can see the dudes, and I know, you

705
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 18: know you you you got your guys, and you see

706
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 18: the yardage of my yardage over the over the game

707
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 18: versus somebody that starts on offense and then plays special

708
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 18: teams as well, Like, that's just a.

709
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 5: Lot of mileage, man, And I don't know how long.

710
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 18: I'm not even concerned so much if he can do

711
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 18: it over the course of a game or a season.

712
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 12: It's more like how long is.

713
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 5: His career going to be?

714
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams of the Rams right now, Travis Hunter listed

715
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: as a backup cornerback but a starting wide receiver. We

716
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: just had a caller talk about the best NFL throwback

717
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: uniforms and he was citing the Tampa Bay Creamsicle uniforms,

718
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: and I just cautioned people that when that happened, when

719
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay and Tampa Bay was terrible back then that

720
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 2: I think you kind of partnered. Hey, that's a terrible team.

721
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: So those are terrible uniforms. How often do you have

722
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: a terrible team with great uniforms, Marvin, you are the

723
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: uniform police here. Terrible team, but a great uniform.

724
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 12: In my entire adult life, the Raiders.

725
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: The Raiders are terrible uniforms, all all bad team.

726
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they were great before. So they won super Bowls.

727
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: I'm talking about it team that doesn't have you know,

728
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: a history of Boy, they were a winning frame. Tampa

729
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: Bay was a that was a you know, a new team,

730
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: new expansion team, and they were terrible and then you

731
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: had the uniforms that went with them. Yeah, Pauline, I would.

732
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 10: Say the Patriots in the late seventies and early eighties

733
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 10: had great uniforms with the Patriots snapping on the side.

734
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 10: And then they changed and they got better as a franchise.

735
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 10: But they were cool uniforms, not great teams.

736
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Seton, we're saying a crap team, but good uniforms. Yeah.

737
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 5: Probably a Michigan.

738
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 8: What are you doing?

739
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 12: What are you doing?

740
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 5: Dang out of nowhere? I guess, I guess Michigan.

741
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 10: Maybe.

742
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: How about the Seahawks when they first started.

743
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, weren't great, but the uniforms were fun.

744
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 12: They looked cool.

745
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 17: Yes, Marvin one of my favorites as a kid, even

746
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 17: though they were awful. The l A Rams, the Jerome

747
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 17: Bettish years, I love those uniforms.

748
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 5: Were they awful? I don't remember the.

749
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 17: Rams when I was a kid, Ladist generational. They were

750
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 17: always terrible.

751
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I forget how old you are. You're young

752
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: to certain people, Yeah you are. No, you're young in

753
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: this room.

754
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 12: You mean, but playing pick up basketball?

755
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 5: Give me the ball, they call you.

756
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 12: I was like, gosh, I am literally that guy. Okay,

757
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 12: og uh.

758
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 5: Nate and Colorado. What's on your mind?

759
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 13: Nate, good morning, gentlemen, and eight see hey your last interview,

760
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 13: he brought up the fact that ESPN purchased the rights

761
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 13: to the Red Zone broadcast.

762
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 9: I didn't realize that was something that was separate, but

763
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 9: it got me. My first thought was, Okay, ESPN just

764
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 9: bought this. Did you envision a red Zone type program

765
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 9: since they have the PNP talent for the NBA Kenny

766
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 9: Shack Irtie charls on it like a red Zone type

767
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 9: of broadcast. Did you see that coming down? The road.

768
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 2: No, not for them, because I think you want content.

769
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: I think you want the discussion that you have with

770
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: the red zone. You don't get that kind of come

771
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's very quick. You're going to this and

772
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 2: then you're coming back. You're going to someplace else. You

773
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: want to see Charles in Shaq, Kenny Ernie. You want

774
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: them to be able to have a discussion. How about

775
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: this day in sports history Paul.

776
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 10: Eighteen ninety Cy Young the pitcher got his first major

777
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 10: league victory. He got five hundred and eleven in his career,

778
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 10: and of course he never won the Cy Young embarrassing

779
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 10: by him Satchel Page at forty six in nineteen fifty two,
