00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: The official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show spend

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: a lot of time in the first hour talking about

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. While I don't like the conclusion, I don't

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: like the verdict, I understand it having read the fifteen

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: page summary the conclusion, and here's part of what the

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: judge said in the conclusion the NFL may be a

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: forward facing organization, but it's not necessarily a forward looking one.

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Just as the NFL responded to violent conduct after a

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: public outcry, so it seems the NFL was responding to

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: yet another public outcry about mister Watson's conduct. At least

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: in the former's situation, the policy was changed and applied proactively. Here,

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: the NFL is attempting to impose a more dramatic shift

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: in its culture without the benefit of fair notice too

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: and consistency of consequence for those in the NFL's subject

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: to Policy fifty one, looking at the record when compared

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: to the relevant precedent, and looking forward to how this

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: disciplinary determination might be used in the future, I find

34
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the most appropriate landing place to be as follows, and that,

35
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: of course, was Six Games and No Fun. Read it

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: if you can. It's fifteen pages and you can see

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: what she started with and what she ended with. Do

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: I like six games? No? I do not. Do I

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: think he should be out for the entire season. I do.

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: But she's using precedent, she's using history, she's using Zeke Elliott,

41
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: she's using Ben Roethlisberger. These were all things that I

42
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: was told before this started that she would be factoring

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: in and that's exactly what she did. Albert Breer, the

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterback joined us in the first hour and

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: he said there was an offer that was made twelve games,

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: ten million dollars fine. Deshaun Watson's side, his lawyer said no,

47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: they were willing to take a chance. And I was

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: told that they were embolden after the hearing that they

49
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: felt like this might be less than six games. That's

50
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: how confident they were. And she's looking at a first

51
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: time offender. Although I would argue this, it feels like

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: you're a first time offender with the first woman, but

53
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: you're not a first time offender with the second, or third,

54
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: or fourth. But this is the first case and you're

55
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: presenting it as for people. But to me, that feels

56
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: like it's not a first offense if it happened again

57
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: and again and again and again. But that's where we

58
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: stand right now. The question is what's the commissioner do.

59
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Does he want to just say, look, I tried, this

60
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: is the process, we agreed to the process, and although

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: we disagree with this, we will abide by what the

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: judge has ruled. This is on Roger get down. Nobody

63
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: else You'll forget the judge's name in a month. You

64
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: know it won't matter. But Roger Goodell, what he does

65
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: will matter to a lot of people. He's the face

66
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: of the league. If the NFL appeals and the commissioner overturns,

67
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: this could lead to Deshaun Watson actually playing in the

68
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: opener against Carolina, because then Watson's side will probably file

69
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: a lawsuit and then maybe there's a temporary restraining order,

70
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: maybe the suspension if put on hold, and he'll be

71
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: playing all the cases in court. That's a distinct possibility here.

72
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: That would be worse, I think for the NFL if

73
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: that were the case. All right, draft Kings sent me

74
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: over Cleveland Browns wind total over under this year. Now,

75
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going to happen with Watson. If

76
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: it's just going to be six games, could it be more?

77
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: Fritzie over under victories according to DraftKings Cleveland Browns this year'

78
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: say nine and a half, nine and a half. We

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: don't even know. Need to go anyplace else. You're a

80
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: winner nine and a half. Todd Okay over under touchdown

81
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: passes DeShawn Watson Todd. I'll start with you twenty four.

82
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Keep in mind six games suspension, Seaton O'Connor twenty, Marv

83
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half, Paulie nineteen and a half, eighteen

84
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: and a half. The tie, Well, you went over, Paul

85
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: those rules were, they were there. The the independent arbitrator

86
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: brought that up and it's pressed and setting. You're the winner, Mark, congratulations.

87
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: Browns are favored by one over Carolina. Do start the

88
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: year just letting you know. Don't we have football coming

89
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: up on Thursday night? Don't we have home Day? Who's

90
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: playing Raiders Jags? Oh? I got some bad news. Then

91
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence not playing. He's a healthy scratch. Oh shocker.

92
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: The electric running back from Clemson miss last year. Also

93
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: healthy scratch. Okay, tune in, all right, But see, I

94
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: look at when I see preseason games, it almost feels

95
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: like it's hard knocks when they're playing a game. So

96
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: you get to watch somebody try to make the team,

97
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: or you get to watch somebody who is not going

98
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: to make the team by the way they played. But

99
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I look at it differently. Used to be it would

100
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: be like the stars aren't playing. Okay, let me see

101
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: who I know, and then let me see if I

102
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: invest in that player, Like, wow, that guy's pretty good.

103
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: And there are times when you'll see somebody you go, oh,

104
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: that's right. I remember him like Tyler Lockett. I remember

105
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: him as a return guy at Kansas State, and I

106
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: remember coming in the next day there was preseason game

107
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: and I said to the Dana, I said, this guy

108
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Tom and Lockett's gonna be a star. Now I don't

109
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: know if he's a star, but he's a really good player.

110
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: But I remember him being a kick returner at Case

111
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Stay uh age seven seven three D P show email

112
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: address dp A dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a

113
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: TP show. Although I probably picked out ten other guys

114
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: who I said we're gonna be stars and they didn't

115
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: turn out to be we only remember the ones uh

116
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: that you know actually happened like a freezing cold take.

117
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's my what's my worst with Yeah,

118
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: oh man, I don't know if I could say freezing

119
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: cold takes because I don't I have takes like I'd

120
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: like to have an opinion. Hopefully it's thought out. Isn't

121
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: there a quarterback that you really loved Washington? Oh? Oh

122
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Thomas at Virginia Tech. Is it was it Lamartineau

123
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: of Logan Thomas, Yes, big guy. Yeah, I loved him

124
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: in college. Yes, I did love Yes, I did. And

125
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: I think you said something like he's gonna be great

126
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but he actually became great as a

127
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: tight end or very good at tight end. So here. Oh,

128
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: I think I was even a step further. I think

129
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: I said that he was my favorite for the Heisman Trophy. Yeah,

130
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: well that's different than saying he's going to be a

131
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: star in the NFL. Yeah, and then the fact that

132
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: he got into the NFL and uh ended up, you know,

133
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: being a pretty good tight end. I think he's still

134
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But yeah, I whipped on that one. Yeah,

135
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: he had a seven year career at tight end and

136
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: made a couple of bucks. Is he done? Yeah? Well no,

137
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: actually I still have him on a roster. Is he

138
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: with Washington? Yes? Okay, it might be the best quarterback.

139
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Marvin Carson wins there on the team. There's

140
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: a guy who I thought was going to be a

141
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: Hall of famer. Not good but hall of famer. Byron

142
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: Leftwich out of Marshall and after his first year in

143
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: the pros, like this guy is on his way to

144
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and he just kind of cooled off.

145
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, I thought the other guy loved Tim Couch

146
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: when he joined the Browns. I thought he was cooking,

147
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: even though the Browns weren't great. I wonder how his

148
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: career would have gone if he played for a little

149
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: better team and they waited to put him in the

150
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: starting lineup. Because I go back to David Carr, Derek's brother.

151
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: He's as talented, you know, as I've seen at that position,

152
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: and you know, he ran for his life. Nobody, nobody,

153
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Burrow may be approaching those numbers, but

154
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: nobody was sacked more. I think his first two or

155
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: three years most sack quarterback in the history of the NFL.

156
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, the Brown's head coach, is he had some

157
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: comments and he was talking about Deshaun Watson is working

158
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: to better himself. DeShawn has told you guys in a

159
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: press conference. He's told me privately he wants to be

160
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: the best version of himself. I believe that wholeheartedly. He's

161
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: working on that, and I'll let the Shawn at some

162
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: point speak for himself. Yeah, that's what I would be

163
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: concerned with if I'm the Cleveland Browns. This isn't just hey,

164
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: here's the verdict at six games. It's what happens the

165
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: next two, three, four, five years with DeShawn wants it?

166
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: What kind of person is he? I get an idea

167
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: of how he is as a quarterback. That really wasn't

168
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: a concern if you're in it for the long haul.

169
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: I hope Deshaun wants and getting some help. Here here's

170
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski saying that Watson will meet with the media soon. Obviously,

171
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: I know with this decision that there's a lot of

172
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: questions that everybody has, and I think in due time

173
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: to Shawn certainly will address those questions. But I think

174
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: where we are in the process that will happen. And

175
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: then he talked about the Cleveland Browns trying to work

176
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: through this given the information they had. I've tried to

177
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: just be where my feet are and operate with the

178
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: information that we have available to us. So you know,

179
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: this process is my process. So it's it's agreed upon

180
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: by the PA in the NFL, and all I can

181
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: do is respected. Yeah, Kevin Stefansk has nothing really to say,

182
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: just like, hey, just let me know, do Kobe Bruce said, okay,

183
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: how many games? Six? Okay? And then you get to

184
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: Seawn Watson ready after them? Tom in Ohio, Hey Tom,

185
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Good morning, Danny. I have

186
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: I just have a little different take on what the

187
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: entire decision is. Um. I worked in union negotiations for

188
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: about ten years as a as a local president, and

189
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: everything is negotiated, everything between the union and the company

190
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: or in this case, the NFL. My contention is this

191
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: judge's decision was never going to be a final decision

192
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: to start with. I think they have a I think

193
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: they this is just my opinion now. I think they

194
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: have ah an agreement that Roger Goodell is gonna you know,

195
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna appeal. Roger Goodell is going to make a

196
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: ten game probably ten million dollars what you've been talking

197
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: about all along, and I think that's been agreed upon.

198
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: It will look like a bad guy that he always

199
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: looks like a bad guy. The union will be you know,

200
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: outraged near everything, but it'll go away at that point.

201
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll see a lawsuit or anything. I

202
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: think Watson's team will agree and I think that'll be

203
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: I think that'll be the end of it. That's just

204
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: my that's just my opinion, right, all right, Thank you, Tom. Yeah, Paul,

205
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: it is interesting that the NFL did not match the

206
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: post that the NFLPA did before the decision. We will

207
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: we look forward to the decision tomorrow. We'll stand by

208
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: whatever the judge does. The NFLPA, I don't think they

209
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: knew the exact number before the judge gave her ruling

210
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: yesterday morning, but they said in a post name before

211
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: they'll abide by ruling and will there be no appeal.

212
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: The NFL didn't do that well. I talked to his

213
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: source yesterday more as you guys know, and I said,

214
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: would the NFL Players Association have put out that memo

215
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: saying we're going to abide by whatever the judge comes

216
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: up with if they thought it was going to be

217
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: an indefinite suspension, you're not putting that out. But they

218
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: knew that what the ballpark suspension was going to be.

219
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how they knew it, but they had

220
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: an idea of where this was headed. Chris in La, Hi, Chris,

221
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Good morning? Dan. I'm a lawyer

222
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: out here in California, I just want to say that

223
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: lawyers for advice and expectations, we rely on precedence and

224
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: and so that's why I'm not surprised that that Deshaun

225
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: Watson's camp was expecting six games, and that's what the

226
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: judge probably sounds like she relied on as well. And

227
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: that's precedent. And one other thing that the process itself

228
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: has been up to up to review, and it's not

229
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: uncommon to have a independent judge listen to all the

230
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: evidence to make a ruling and then it ultimately go

231
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: up to someone else to make the final decision. That

232
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: happens in California all the time with California teachers having

233
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: their licenses suspend or revoke. There's an actual judge and

234
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: it's like hearing an actual trial, and then that judge

235
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: issues a proposed decision which goes up to a board,

236
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: and then the board says he has to we agree

237
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: with it and imposes that discipline, or the board says, no,

238
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: we don't like the discipline that you have picked forth, judge,

239
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: and they send it back down and tell them to

240
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: do it again. Yeah, but this is something that was

241
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: agreed upon like, the commissioner, if you're going to agree

242
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: to this and say we have an independent arbitrator, then

243
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: let that person do his or her job, because why

244
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: even like it almost seems like it's a foe process here,

245
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: is this the person that you want making the ruling

246
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: looking at both sides, being fair, right? I mean that's

247
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: that's the situation that it'd be like you're going for

248
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: salary arbitration, and then all of a sudden you go,

249
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: we don't like that, we want to change what your

250
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: decision is. Well, it's it's salary arbitration. This is what

251
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: they came up with. Yeah, I'm not sure what the

252
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: solution is. I don't think that the commissioners should have

253
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: the final say if you're going to bring this judge in,

254
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: like if I'm the judge, like, I don't want you

255
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: second guessing if if you want me to do it,

256
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to look at both sides. I'm neutral and

257
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to be fair with what my decision is.

258
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: The commissioner can't come in and go you know, I

259
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: don't like that. I mean he can, but I don't

260
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that he should. Isn't that the position

261
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: now that it's sort of being he's being put in right.

262
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: He can either take what this into Hendon arbitrator says,

263
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: I think that this is fair based on precedents, right,

264
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: based on what you've done in the past. I think

265
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: that this is fair. And now you can either choose

266
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: to take what I believe is a fair ruling or

267
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: be unfair. Well, I am I. Albert Brewer talked about,

268
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, the public reaction to this, and that the

269
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: NFL is probably monitoring social media. Yeah. See, I think

270
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: in some ways what the judge is kind of doing

271
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: because she does say in there that like this type

272
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: of behavior is unprecedented in terms of what the NFL

273
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: has ever dealt with, and that she says, I'm I'm

274
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: not gonna have to paraphrase a little bit, but she

275
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: said it seems reasonable that a more severe penalty should

276
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: be enforced. But given what the history of the NFL

277
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: and what their rules state, this is what she believes

278
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: is fair. It's almost like the judge is sort of

279
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: throwing into the NFL's court and Roger Goodell's putting in

280
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: front of their table, like on the table there for them,

281
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: you need to change your policies again, going forward, going forward,

282
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: you need to update your policies to address certain things.

283
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: And I think that that's sort of being lost in

284
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: the messaging a little bit and that you guys, this

285
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: the way you have this, it's not set up to

286
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: handle this type of situation and you need to address

287
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: your policies, change them to address these situations. Yeah, we

288
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: can't rely on her to change the policies that have

289
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: been in place and the precedent that's been set. And

290
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: that's what I think people are going, Well, you should

291
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: have given him a year, Okay, I'm just factoring in

292
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: what you guys have done with Zeke Elliott and Ben Roeplisberger.

293
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: These are your decisions. We'll talk to Pat McAfee. We'll

294
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: lighten the mood a little bit with McAfee. He'll join

295
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: us coming up next back after this Dan Patrick show.

296
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: Summer is in full swing and the temperatures across the

297
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: country really high, and you're looking for something to wear.

298
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play golf, go to the beach, backyard barbecue.

299
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: Are you cool? Cool? Look? Are you cool feeling? Have

300
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: you thought about linkstol They have a fabric specifically designed

301
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: to be moisture wicking and quick drying, and they use

302
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: laser technology to add precision cut perforations to give you

303
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: the maximum airflow. And nobody needs airflow more than Fritzie does.

304
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: That's true. Boardwalker AC Short, the Saturday Workout Short, even

305
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: the Classic Chino. The AC technology comes in every style

Speaker 1: and you have such a big brain. Like whenever you

328
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: did that read for Links Soul before you went to

00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: break there, I was on here. I was like, Damn,

Speaker 1: I need that stuff, you know what I mean. I

331
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: was like, da, I need some links Soul And did

332
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: you say laser fitted some sort of thing in that

333
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: whole I'm like, yeah, damn, I need links. And then

00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: buy or said, you're costing me a lot of money. Dan.

337
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: It's because of how good you are at your job.

338

Speaker 1: So I appreciate the invite. Anytime Fritzie's name pops up

Speaker 1: you know, great pride in the fact that we're in

Speaker 1: this daily sports talk world and you're obviously a pioneer

342
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: of it, so thank you for the invite here. With

343
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: that being said, almost died a couple of times at

344
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: Summer Slam on Saturday, Dan, that's and I've never almost

345
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: died punning, So I would go with SummerSlam in WWE

346
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: as opposed to punning, but both certainly a lot of

347
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: fun and blast and high anxiety situations. But if I

348
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: talked to you at twelve, do you want to be

349
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: a punter or would you want to be in WWE?

350
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: WW for sure it never wanted to be a punter.

351
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously nobody you fall to punter, Dan, I

352
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: mean we all know that. You know, you've never you've

353
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: never went up to a kid and said, hey, what

354
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: do you want to be when you grow up? And

355
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: they say like astronaut or a cop or a fireman

356
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: or baseball player football? But no, he goes, I want

357
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: to be a punter in the NFL. Because if you

358
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: have dreams or dreams or aspirations of being a punter,

359
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: you probably kicked the hell out of a football or

360
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: a ball, so you probably want to be a soccer player,

361
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, and if you're in a wide receiver or

362
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: a quarterback or a tight end that inevitably ends up

363
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: being a punter. That's because your team told you, like, hey,

364
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: this position ain't gonna work for you, you should probably

365
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: go try fourth thounds and punting balls. So at twelve,

366
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: definitely want to be a WWE superstar. My entire life.

367
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a WWE superstar. That's really the

368
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: longest dream I've ever had. Getting to play in the

369
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: NFL was a massive, massive honor, so thankful for that.

370
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: But WWE has been the thing that I've wanted my

371
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: entire life. Dan, were you a position player before you

372
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: became a punter. No, I was a soccer player. I'd

373
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: show up on Fridays. I just kind of walk in

374
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: with the fans. The first game, I had no idea,

375
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: really had to put on my pads. I walked in

376
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: with our student section because I had a soccer game

377
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: before it, walked across the field, had really no idea

378
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: what was going on, just started bombing balls like I

379
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: was the guy Nigel from Replacements. I was very fortunate

380
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: to go up in Pittsburgh, a football town, so growing

381
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: up I played a lot of football on the streets

382
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: and backyards and things like that NFL was my favorite

383
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: sport to watch. But I was supposed to be a

384
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: soccer player, and then football just happened after a punt

385
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: passing kit National championship, and I happened to have a

386
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: ten and attached to my right hip. When did it

387
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: change for you in this business? When did it click

388
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: that you went from a somebody wanted to do it.

389
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: You were doing stand up comedy, like you're trying to

390
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: figure all this out after your career, but then it clicked.

391
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: What changed? I don't know, Dan, Honestly, I have no idea.

392
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: I think when I was playing in the NFL, I

393
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: was doing all this stuff. So I had a podcast

394
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: when I was in the NFL. I did a one

395
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: stand up comedy tour with a couple other side shows.

396
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: While I was in the NFL. I had a merch business.

397
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: While I was in the NFL, I was I was

398
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: very fortunate to do the Bob and Tom Show weekly

399
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: when I was in the NFL as well, So I

400
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: kind I've got a chance to dabble in a lot

401
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: of different stuff while I was still playing. And when

402
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: you're a punter, you're able to do that. You know,

403
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: there's no addendums going into any punter contracts about watching

404
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: more film outside of the facility. So with less mental

405
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: management on the plate for me for being a punter,

406
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: I was able to do a lot of stuff and

407
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: I just started getting real fulfillment from everything I was

408
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: doing off the field, and I found out that there

409
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: was a business side to it as well, that I

410
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: can maybe make some money off the field as well.

411
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: So once I kind of reset everybody's finances around my

412
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: family and friends, the NFL, I was super pumped to

413
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: be there, but I knew that afterwards I was going

414
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: to enjoy life as well. And I've obviously gotten incredibly

415
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: lucky with this entire run thus far. But I remember

416
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: we had you on after you made your decision that

417
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: might have been the Houston super Bowl, and you said

418
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: you could still punt, but you were done. Like, how

419
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: mentally do you get to the point where you go,

420
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: I'm done with this. I don't know. It's just like punning,

421
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: Like you said, whenever you're twelve years old, you think

422
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: about punting. No, Like even in college, I was a

423
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: kicker first before I was a punter. I became a

424
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: punter basically at a necessity and we're doing the rugby pump,

425
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: which was a rollout to the right, and I was

426
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: just trying to line drive it as far as possible.

427
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: We'd be in games. And I have nothing but respect

428
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: for all the punters in the NFL. I love them.

429
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: I put them over every single weekend because it's not

430
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: an easy thing to do. It is a difficult thing

431
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: to do. You don't really get a chance to bounce

432
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: back either. If you have a bad rep. You got

433
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: to go sit on that for like thirty five minutes,

434
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: but in the fourth quarter you know you're down twenty one.

435
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: Like a punter can't do anything Like I'm just standing there.

436
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm long for the ride, just like everybody else in soccer.

437
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: I was like a point man on it. Basically every

438
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: team I was on. Even when I was kicking at

439
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: West Virginia and punting at West Virginia, I was least

440
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: in the game. It just got to a point where

441
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: after eight years, I got a chance to get really

442
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: good at the craft. I got to learn a lot.

443
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: I got to experience great teams and great teammates, and

444
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: I understand the value of field position in the sport

445
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: that I've watched my entire life and didn't really fully comprehend.

446
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: But I just my brain is superactive, superactive. Every day

447
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in there because there's not a lot of

448
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: film for us to watch as punners, so I'm playing

449
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: cornhole for like three hours in the locker room where

450
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: everybody else is watching film and doing all that, and

451
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: my brain is just running with like a thousand ideas

452
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: like I should be doing this, I should be doing this,

453
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: I could be doing this, I could be doing this.

454
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: And you always think the grass is greener on the

455
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: other side, you never truly know. So for like three years,

456
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: I contemplate and retiring and just kind of attacking life

457
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: outside of football. And I don't think it was until

458
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: you know, kind of took care of everybody, you know,

459
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: Me and the GM didn't get along. He didn't like

460
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: he didn't think I was funny. I mean that was

461
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: very pretty affarent. He did not. He did not enjoy me.

462
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: It just there was I was staring down another knee surgery.

463
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: It just felt like it just felt like the universe

464
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: was telling me Dan, you know, And obviously it could

465
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: have got to a point where the universe was completely wrong,

466
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: and I still feel like I could probably go punt

467
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: for a couple of teams if I wanted to, and

468
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: that would probably last for at least another few years,

469
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: as I'm almost Hey, I'm almost forty now. I mean

470
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: i'm thirty five, but damn I'm getting old, Dan. So

471
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I felt like the universe

472
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: told me the timing was right, and I got very

473
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: fortunate with the team I have. I mean, it was

474
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: just it was the perfect timing and I'm very very

475
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: fortunate for it all. It's Pat McAfee, hosted The Pat

476
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: McAfee Show and former Colts punter. What was your reaction,

477
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: I guess immediate reaction when you heard that Andrew Luck

478
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: was going to retire. So I was watching home just

479
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: like everybody else, right, And I mean that's why comes

480
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, fourth quarter preseason game. Oh and then

481
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: obviously the stadium there's a couple of hundred people in

482
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: there still who have made it through a preseason game

483
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter, one in which Andrew Luck was

484
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: not playing. Who is our franchise player, So maybe a

485
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: little boozed up, we could assume, and they boo Andrew

486
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: on his way out, And I think it was more

487
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: so booing the situation, not Andrew, because I've never met

488
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: anybody in Indianapolis that didn't have the utmost respect for

489
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck because I got to see it firsthand. You

490
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: know that dude took an ass beating, I mean just

491
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, And it was just his style

492
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: of play. And he would thank everybody that hit him,

493
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: and he never got too fired up with people that

494
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: would obviously blatantly miss blocks for him to get hit.

495
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: I've always said I thought he was too nice of

496
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: a guy. The most talented, most talented person I think

497
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. His brain is so Largeeff hughes context

498
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: clues just to kind of keep up with conversations with him. Right,

499
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot, but that it really felt like that

500
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: he was so smart, so incredibly smart, so athletic, he

501
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: was so good at quarterback. He understood the playbook quicker

502
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: than anybody else. He had a photographic memory. He's fast,

503
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: he's tough, he's all these things. I just think his

504
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: style of play and him not being a mean enough person,

505
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: Like I always said, I wish he could have watched

506
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: Peyton for one year. If he could have watched Peyton,

507
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: not that Peyton was mean, but Peyton demanded and commanded

508
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: respect and also like, hey, this is a business. This

509
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: is who I want to do business with. Andrew was

510
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: still like, Hey, I'm a high school college football player

511
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: at the beginning. You do the coaching, you do the deciding,

512
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: I'll do the playing. I wish you would have took

513
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more ownership, which I think he did

514
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: towards the end of his career, which is a natural thing.

515
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: But I was lucky to watch that guy, and my

516
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: first reaction whenever he retired was, damn, the league is

517
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: going to miss him because of how explosive and electrifying

518
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: you was on the field. The Kyler Murray story, you

519
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: got to Shaun Watson's story, like, how do you pick

520
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: and choose what you dive into and what you don't

521
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: on your show? How do you guys do it? Dan?

522
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: What do you guys do I find? And I asked

523
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: the dan ets, I just say, what are you hot on?

524
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: Because if if we are hot on it, then I

525
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: then I think, you know, I can buy into it,

526
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: or vice versa, and then the audience is going to

527
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: trust you because they tune in already trusting you. And

528
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: I think that. What I want to know is what

529
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: is something that's really important to somebody here, because if

530
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, we could go down the list and go

531
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: as anybody interested in that? How about that? And oh that?

532
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: And then the room reacts and then I sort of

533
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: take I grab that, that's the baton, and then I

534
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: take it, and then it's up to me to run

535
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: the you know, four by four hundred. Well, and you

536
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: do that very well, by the way, you run the

537
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: hell out of a thing like a gazelle. But I

538
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: think that's the right move because you guys are so

539
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 1: established in the ogs and this whole thing. You know,

540
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: you guys are the trend setters. So Rich Rodriguez gave

541
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: a motivational speech to our team one time, and he

542
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: said he wants a team full of thermostats, you know,

543
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: not thermometers. You know, we set to temperature, we don't

544
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: tell it. And it was like it was so profound

545
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: whenever he said it. And I assume we were getting

546
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: I assume we're getting yelled at for it, but I

547
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: found that to be like such a profound statement. And

548
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: I think when we were starting, we were trying to

549
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: look at what everybody else was talking about. You know,

550
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: we were trying to watch every other sports talk show

551
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: who we assumed had better scouts, better producers, more equipped

552
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: to talk about what we should be talking about. And

553
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: that lasted, I don't know, probably four months, five months,

554
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: and then we got to the point where, much like you,

555
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: we go all right, what do we want to talk about?

556
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: You know, and if our conversations are good, like if

557
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: you build it, they will come as kind of the hopes.

558
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: But sometimes we miss some stuff that everybody else is

559
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: chatting about strictly because we're either too dumb to talk

560
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: about that picular thing or it literally never came up

561
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: in our universe and we completely missed it. Would you

562
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: use steroids in the WWE to make your body look

563
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, like like ultimate Warrior, like you know, one

564
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: of those I mean, I can see you're kind of

565
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: jagged jocked, Thank you, Jack, But you know, but like

566
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: an actor. You know these guys in Hollywood they'll use

567
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: performance enhancing drugs. You're an actor with WWE, would you

568
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: consider you're a performer? Would you consider steroids? So they

569
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: have a whole wellness policy over at the WWE because

570
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: of I think what you are alluding to, where there

571
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: is you know, they drug tests rather often at the

572
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: ww Yes, they they actually you know, now there's always

573
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: going to be people that talk about some people maybe

574
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: aren't getting tested. There's always conspiracy theories about everything. But

575
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: I've been tested and given my blood to the WWE

576
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: numerous times. So now this in part of your stand

577
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: up act, You're being serious, right, because it was, by

578
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: the way, there was a lot of things that happened

579
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: whenever you start injecting your body with stuff and people

580
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: who are already maybe high energy or very emotional, and

581
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: then there was some stuff that has happened through the

582
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: evolution of human and the evolution of WWE, where they

583
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: have had to put in different rules and evolve helpefully,

584
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: you know. And I think the wellness policy is a

585
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: big one because of all the things that you are

586
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: kind of I think immediately thinking of now, with that

587
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: being said, when I was in the NFL and we'd

588
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: see a guy walk into the locker room who was

589
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: obviously on something that the rest of us would not

590
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: take because of a failed test, there was an immediate

591
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: chatter out of my brain like, well, as soon as

592
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: I retire, I'm getting on whatever that guy is on.

593
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting on whatever that person's on. And

594
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: you'd see somebody come when you walking in, just just

595
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: yoked out of their mind. I'm like, okay, so that's

596
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: just what you're just drinking protein shapes and stuff, and

597
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: then haha, laughing out, I'm like, I'm gonna get into that.

598
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: So I think as I've grown older, I have found

599
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: two things difficult to find in Indiana where I live.

600
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: It's not just something you walk up to a corner

601
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: store and say, hey, I'm looking to look like this

602
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: guy that walked into the locker room when I was

603
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: playing what do I need to take? And also, I

604
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: think I'm starting to think more about life. You know,

605
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to die young. For a

606
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: long time. I was burning that thing from both ends

607
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: real hard. I think it's well documented. I think everybody

608
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: knows that. But now that I'm getting older, I'm trying to,

609
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, take care of myself a little bit. And

610
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I just want to shove everything

611
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: that horses take into their bodies into mind, but if

612
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: science gets to a point where it's healthy and safe

613
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna kill me too young, I will

614
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: certainly take something that will make my metabolism be a

615
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: little bit quicker like it used to be, my recovery

616
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: time a little bit. But I haven't delve into those

617
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: waters just yet, Dan Patrick, what does your wife say

618
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: when she sees you on stage, you know, with you know,

619
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of showing off your body. Hey, my wife, sweet man,

620
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: we just celebrated her second anniversary yesterday, and thank you,

621
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: thank you, Paula. You had und oh you aren't the

622
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 1: only one, but you aren't the only one, I think, Uh,

623
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, I've always I don't know, man, I'm just

624
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: a goer. I always have been, Dan, Just go go, go, go, go,

625
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: go go. And I rarely have any beef with anybody

626
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: because I'm not around long enough to have beef with anybody.

627
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm normally just in and out. Here we go. What's next,

628
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: What's next? I've been very driven my entire life. I

629
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: think anybody that's ever known me you would know that

630
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: I've been trying to become successful literally forever. So I'm

631
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: always thinking like, what's next? What are we doing? Hey,

632
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: how are we doing? Let's keep it moving. And my

633
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: wife is the first person that ever like I think

634
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: try to be like, hey, you're allowed to like hang

635
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: out for a bit, like you're allowed to like I'm

636
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: not just gonna let you just walk out of my

637
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: life like this is so. I don't want to say

638
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: she camed, you know, the stallion here, but she kind

639
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: of did. She kind of. And she's a super supportive

640
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: person into me. She understands that I've had these dreams

641
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: a lot longer than we've ever known each other. So

642
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: she is fantastic. She is a great cook though, so

643
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: every once in a while get into good shape. I'm

644
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: like taking care of myself and then I'll come home

645
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: and there's just like the cinnamon rolls and like these

646
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: chocolate chip cookies and all this stuff, and I am

647
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: I have no discipline. I will dive in there, Dan.

648
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: So it's a team effort. So I think she's pumped

649
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: about it all. Does she ever just say shut up?

650
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what are you talking about? I mean, I've

651
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: been with me for thirty five years. I say it

652
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: to me all the time. I couldn't even imagine what

653
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: she says. But yeah, you have a better body than

654
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: Peyton Mannings. I think we could agree with that, right, Yeah,

655
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: I don't know his body took him to a Hall

656
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: of Fame. I think he's not his body of work.

657
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: His body, well, I mean, his body is his tool.

658
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: What are you talking about his mind? Oh yeah, but

659
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: have you those hey, those wobbly balls ain't gonna throw themselves?

660
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: Then what do you think? Serious? No quarterbacks? I don't.

661
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: I don't think. And it's kind of changing now with

662
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: the evolution of offense and what quarterbacks can do. But

663
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: back in the day, there was a lot of bad

664
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: body quarterbacks, you know, and they actually all of them.

665
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: You basically go through all of them bad body, I mean,

666
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: because they wanted to keep their muscles loose, like a

667
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: basketball shooter or a golfer like guys didn't want to

668
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: get too yoked up because they thought they would mess

669
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: up their throw. So now it's all of it's a

670
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a different game where guy's got to

671
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: take hits, and I think they're getting a little bit

672
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: more yoked up. But I think Baton had a solid

673
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: body and a body of work. Obviously, yes he did.

674
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: It's like Rothoisburger, Rothoisburger, he had big head syndrome. Go

675
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: through them all. Any of those pocket quarterbacks probably had

676
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: a hilarious upper body I mean, the lower body is

677
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: going to be strong core, probably gonna have to be strong,

678
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: right because there's a lot of that, and you know, throwing,

679
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: but normally arms, chest, traps, neck, pretty relaxed, and that's

680
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: normally how people are judging bodies or not. You know

681
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: what I mean, Dan, give me, give me double gunshot

682
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: here before we go here. Let's do let's see what

683
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: we got here. Let me wake him up, Wake up,

684
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: wake up, wake up. Damn it feels good man. I'll

685
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: tell you what. My knees are still sore. Though he's

686
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: still sore. I still gain like twenty five thirty pounds

687
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: and lose twenty five thirty pounds like every two three

688
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: months when football season's coming around, just like I'm still playing.

689
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: But I'm incredibly pumped about where life is. And I

690
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: can't thank you all enough, honestly. Congrats for trailblazing in

691
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: this world. And also, let's win it. Let's get you

694
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: How come these shows that are just Johnny come Lately, Okay,

695
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: Johnny Come Lately, childish stuff or winning Emmy's and you

696
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: guys aren't. What is the deal the we're the buffalo

697
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: bills of Emmy's. Now you're not because you guys have

698
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: a kicker that's gonna make the kick, and that happens

699
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: every single time. I don't understand what the deal is.

700
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: What is just? Is it because you're too handsome? Dan?

701
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: You think it's because you're too handsome? Oh gosh, that's

702
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: what they've told me that before that. Yeah, you're right.

703
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, you know, you don't want to

704
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: have a comedian who's good looking, Yeah, not relatable? Yeah right,

705
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: So you are too handsome for sporty focks. I think

706
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: even though your show, how many years, how many years

707
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: you've been noticed? Well, we've been together sixteen years since

708
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: I left the Mothership. How how do you? How have

709
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,640

Speaker 1: my third one? Oh my god, there is no off season?

711
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: Yes there is? Are you talk? I was trying to

712
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: find out what I heard that a jury or a

713
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. That's what I

714
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: was told. Okay, I'm trying to learn these legally stuff.

715
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: And then for two to three weeks I'm talking about litigation.

716
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: I have no idea about any I don't know how

717
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: you did it. Dan, You're too smart. I'm not smart

Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. There's

740
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: different ways for athletes to get into the media, and

741
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: it happens quite frequently where I'll meet an athlete a

742
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: former athlete, and they'll say, how do I get to ESPN?

743
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: Or how do I get my own podcast? How do

744
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: I get my own radio show. The thing that I

745
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: remember talking to Mike Golick about and Sean Salisbury was

746
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: be available, Always be around at ESPN because there's so

747
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: many shows and you get so many reps, and you're

748
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: not big name stars. Mark Schlareth, they were around constantly,

749
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: Tim Hasselbeck. These aren't big names, but they're available, and

750
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: if you're available, then you have a chance to show

751
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: what you can do. Dan Orlovsky classic examples, known for

752
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: one play in the NFL when he ran out of

753
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: the end zone. But he has a great delivery. He studies,

754
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: he cares, and he wants to have a formulated opinion,

755
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: and he's made a name for himself but sometimes the

756
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: bigger the name, the less effort, the less time they

757
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: put in. I saw this with coaches came through ESPN,

758
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:29,479
Speaker 1: some studied, you know, Denny Green, Marty Schottenheimer. They put

759
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: in the time, They really cared. Now, I don't want

760
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: to mention those who didn't put in the time, but

761
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: there were coaches, there were former players who came in

762
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: and they just tried to get by on name only,

763
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: and it became obvious. I remember I was at a

764
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and we had somebody on the set and

765
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: he showed up. He had nothing to say, which is

766
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: hard to do at the super Bowl. And then another

767
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: analyst who was there said, here, here's some notes for you.

768
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: We go on live on TV at the super Bowl,

769
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: and the analyst who didn't have anything just took the

770
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: notes that the other analysts had and just made it

771
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: seem like it was his. And you would have thought, wow,

772
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: he did some real homework here, but priorities. Are you

773
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: going to commit to it? How committed are you? And

774
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: then you see somebody like Pat McAfee, Well, I mean,

775
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: imagine you're a punter and a very good punter and

776
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: you're in Indianapolis. How are you going to get famous,

777
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: and I think he and he let us in on. Hey,

778
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: let's try to be like instead of just let's just

779
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: be us. This is who we are. And that's why

780
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: he's so successful because they've created something that's unique. You know,

781
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: we created something with the simulcast where you could watch

782
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: a radio show, but you could watch it where there

783
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: were eleven cameras in here and there was action. I

784
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: could be on the golf simulator, I'd be shooting basketball.

785
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: We could be cooking on the trigger grills. There was

786
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: always something going on, and I thought, let's take advantage

787
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: of that. That's unique, that's different, and we created a

788
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: man cave and be able to do that which was

789
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: different than anybody else. Now there's a lot of imitators,

790
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: but I take that as a compliment trying to maybe

791
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: match what we have, but you can't. You know. Now

792
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: you have people want to have danettes, they want to

793
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: have their own kind of studio audience. They're not going

794
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: to match what we have. But we've been together for

795
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: twenty years for the most part, so we know each

796
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 1: other and that helps when it comes to the comfort

797
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: level with our listeners. But McAfee is done almost the

798
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: impossible WWE. His show on YouTube sponsorship done extremely well.

799
00:42:54,400 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: At an age thirty five, it's pretty impressive. Final hour

800
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: coming up. Rich Eisen, on loan from the NFL Network,

801
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: will join us
