Speaker 2: It's our two in this Thursday, Dan and the Dan
Speaker 2: N's Dan Patrick Show, including Fritzie. Morale is high. Everybody's
Speaker 2: in a festive mood still, even after the fact it's
Speaker 2: Christmas and New Year's all rolled into one. We don't stop.
Speaker 2: We don't need a designation, we don't need a day
Speaker 2: or days. It's a feeling. It's just like love, yes, Paul, But.
Speaker 3: You do remember the great comedian Larry David a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago said, once you hit January fourth, you
Speaker 3: can no longer say Happy New Year.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I agree with that, even if you haven't seen him
Speaker 2: in a while.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: The cutoff is the third. The third, That's what he said. Okay,
Speaker 2: I mean I'm fine with it. But if I see
Speaker 2: somebody in February and I haven't seen them for four months,
Speaker 2: I can't say, hey, Happy New Year. I mean I
Speaker 2: don't know what the rules and regulations are.
Speaker 5: Yes, Tom, I've broken that rule end at least eleven
Speaker 5: times today. If yesterday midnight was the cutoff, I'm in.
Speaker 2: Trouble, all right. Well, maybe if you got around to
Speaker 2: wishing people a happy new Year. Everybody else does. Yes,
Speaker 2: I don't ever wish anyone a happy new year. I reply,
Speaker 2: happy new Year, once said to me. But I've never
Speaker 2: I don't know any time in my life that I've
Speaker 2: seen somebody and be like, hey, happy new Year.
Speaker 3: I don't Okay, I'm.
Speaker 6: Not George Bailey, you know what I mean. Running down
Speaker 6: the street that's hey, wif your happy New Year to you?
Speaker 2: Well, how do you know you?
Speaker 3: I don't as ef It's an accomplishment making it to the
Speaker 3: new year.
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, Okay, I don't know. It's just kind
Speaker 2: of I like doing it to make somebody uncomfortable that
Speaker 2: I don't know where. I'll just somebody be walking their
Speaker 2: dog and I'll go, how are you doing? Happy New Year?
Speaker 2: And they look at you like what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Like nobody talks. I don't even know them. That's what
Speaker 2: makes it fun. Happy New Year, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 7: I kind of do that when I tell people to
Speaker 7: be blessed and my wife's like, why would you say that?
Speaker 7: I want them to be blessed? And they're like, uh
Speaker 7: all right, Donner old director direct TV. She'd be like, oh,
Speaker 7: good morning, Marbo, how are you I'd be like blessed
Speaker 7: beyond believe.
Speaker 3: All right, okay, and also with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah uh eight seven seven three DP show email address DPA,
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick tout Com. We say good morning. If you're
Speaker 2: watching on Peacock that's our streaming partner, you can see
Speaker 2: what we look like. I'm still surprised that people go,
Speaker 2: you know what, I know what you look like. Dan.
Speaker 2: It's the dan Ets that I don't know what they
Speaker 2: look like, or I just found out what they look like.
Speaker 2: If you're new to the show, just just I don't
Speaker 2: know me see now, Fritzy, we've said, looks like Paulie
Speaker 2: from Rocky Bert Young, a younger, not a lot younger,
Speaker 2: but a younger version.
Speaker 5: They more likely to be pleasantly surprised or in general
Speaker 5: for all of us, or very.
Speaker 2: I think they're always going to be disappointed.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm a live version of Paulie from Rocky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you look you look you look similar. It
Speaker 2: looks similar. Career Russia, What do you want from me?
Speaker 2: What did I ever do to that? You're never what
Speaker 2: somebody thought you were going to look like? All right,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Like you're always especially in person, if you like we're
Speaker 6: going to the super Bowl soon and we'll meet lots
Speaker 6: of people. You're either shorter or taller, fatter or skinnier.
Speaker 2: Ah, well, you're actually decent.
Speaker 8: Side.
Speaker 6: You look a lot fatter on TV.
Speaker 2: Seaton looks like a thinner. James Corden, I think that
Speaker 2: we found your doppel ganger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Marvin, Yes, paul.
Speaker 3: This is niche. But there's a fame, pretty famous actor
Speaker 3: named Bill Duke. Yes, he's been around for a long time.
Speaker 3: Marvin looks like a much younger version of Bill Duke.
Speaker 3: I think that'd be fair.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I think I could see that a little bit.
Speaker 6: Yes, Seaton, Yeah, say, that's one of my greatest calls,
Speaker 6: I think, was calling Marvin Bill Duke.
Speaker 2: It's just not many people know who Bill Duke is.
Speaker 3: He was a creditor Editor's.
Speaker 2: It's a great call. It's just not many people know.
Speaker 2: When you see it and you go okay, and then Paulie,
Speaker 2: you get what do you have?
Speaker 3: Harrelson, I would say, like a hybrid hope, I would
Speaker 3: aspire to be Jason Statham realistically, realistically it's a woody Harrelson.
Speaker 3: I aspire to lot.
Speaker 2: Those aren't that's not a bad consolation problem.
Speaker 3: I'm good with it.
Speaker 2: But unlike Woody Harrelson, you know, not everybody likes you.
Speaker 2: Everybody loves Woody Harrelson.
Speaker 4: Fair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't compete like ability with Woody.
Speaker 2: The first ever streaming exclusive NFL Playoff game is almost here.
Speaker 2: Peacock is the place to see it all. Don't miss
Speaker 2: any of the action. It's wild Card Saturday. Stream the
Speaker 2: NFL wild Card Exclusive January thirteenth at seven thirty pm
Speaker 2: Eastern only on Peacock. We were talking about these wonky
Speaker 2: quarterback matchups, and there have been over seventy quarterbacks who
Speaker 2: thrown for at least have they thrown one pass this year. Also,
Speaker 2: here's some numbers for you. If I said this quarterback
Speaker 2: opened up his career first year, twenty eight touchdowns, thirteen interceptions, completed,
Speaker 2: sixty three percent of his passes. Team went six and ten.
Speaker 2: All right, solid, first year twenty eight thirteen, team went
Speaker 2: six and ten. If I gave you another quarterback, thirty touchdowns,
Speaker 2: eleven picks, sixty three percent passer team eight and eight.
Speaker 2: So a touch better. If I said the first quarterback
Speaker 2: was Aaron Rodgers in the second one was Jordan Love.
Speaker 2: You might be a little surprised there, but those are
Speaker 2: the numbers. Jordan Love has been a good quarterback this year. Now,
Speaker 2: he's not Aaron Rodgers, maybe never even get close to that.
Speaker 2: But Green Bay made the right decision and they wanted
Speaker 2: to make this decision. A year earlier. Stat of the
Speaker 2: Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading
Speaker 2: cards of the Dan Patrick show a couple of coaches,
Speaker 2: you know, not sure if they're going to be back.
Speaker 2: Ron Rivera probably not going to be back with Washington,
Speaker 2: and he talked about what this job comes down to
Speaker 2: or a big portion of your success is predicated on
Speaker 2: getting yourself a quarterback.
Speaker 9: Well, honestly, that's that's probably been the biggest crux of
Speaker 9: it all, is trying to find that guy. I mean,
Speaker 9: that's the hardest thing for anybody, doesn't matter whether you're
Speaker 9: here or if you're one of the other places that
Speaker 9: are looking for that guy. I mean, you know, you're
Speaker 9: fortunate if you get a head coaching job where there's
Speaker 9: a guy, you better relish that and you better succeed.
Speaker 9: I'll tell you that right now. You know, and I've
Speaker 9: said this before, if you know a guy like Alex Smith.
Speaker 9: Vean never gets hurt. I never come here because I
Speaker 9: think Jay and what they were doing would have continued.
Speaker 9: I mean, you get a guy like that, man, you
Speaker 9: you run with it. I promise you that it would
Speaker 9: have been cool to have a guy like that, It
Speaker 9: really would have.
Speaker 2: And he's going to pay the price. He doesn't have
Speaker 2: a franchise quarterback with Sam Hel and you have new
Speaker 2: ownership in there and they'll make a change. They have
Speaker 2: the second pick in the draft right now. You can
Speaker 2: get your franchise quarterback right now, whoever is coming. And
Speaker 2: that's why I think this is a sneaky good job
Speaker 2: that that city. You got new ownership in there and
Speaker 2: you can start fresh at the quarterbacking position. That would
Speaker 2: be pretty And if you said I could have that
Speaker 2: or Carolina, I'm taking Washington.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 2: I think the Chargers would stand out because they have
Speaker 2: their franchise quarterback. It's kind of rare when you get
Speaker 2: a coach fired having a franchise quarterback, but that happened
Speaker 2: with the Chargers. That's a pretty great job. Like New England,
Speaker 2: Are you interested in New England? Following Belichick quarterbacking situation,
Speaker 2: one of the Patriots have the third pick overall, PAULI.
Speaker 3: As of right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could float a little bit. Yeah, boy, if
Speaker 2: you're Belichick out the door, you certainly want to win
Speaker 2: that last game and what that would do that drop
Speaker 2: them probably out of the top five.
Speaker 6: They're trading out of that anyway. You think so, I
Speaker 6: would be willing to bet my job. Well, there's no
Speaker 6: way that they take that pick number three, that they
Speaker 6: actually draft somebody with it.
Speaker 2: Not a chance. You don't think that they draft a quarterback.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying that they don't draft a quarterback. They're
Speaker 6: not at number three. No, they stay at number three.
Speaker 6: I don't believe that they stay at number three. I
Speaker 6: don't even believe they stay in the top five.
Speaker 2: Does anybody want to put their job status up against
Speaker 2: Seaton's job status?
Speaker 3: I kind of agree that that's a very New England
Speaker 3: thing to do, is not never stand pat like they'll
Speaker 3: they'll draft.
Speaker 2: No, you need your quarterback, but they.
Speaker 3: Drop down five spots and take Pennix, right, I don't know. Okay,
Speaker 3: the New York Giants had the fifth pick right now, now,
Speaker 3: would they go for the top if if Chicago was
Speaker 3: shopping it.
Speaker 2: You're the Jibt. Well, then then you have to move
Speaker 2: on from Danny Dimes, which is but aren't you're you're
Speaker 2: locked in for one more year, one more year. No,
Speaker 2: I think they're riding that that horse. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: they are. I don't know you know that? And where
Speaker 2: is the Kyler Murray? Hey, they're going to move on
Speaker 2: from Kyler Murray. Apparently Arizona's not moving on from Kyler Murray.
Speaker 2: He's played okay, I mean he still shows you those
Speaker 2: glimpses of man Ate and Scoot. But they have the
Speaker 2: fourth pick in the draft. How about that? It could
Speaker 2: be the second pick in the draft. Then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden you got a wide receiver. Maybe there, because
Speaker 2: it feels like if you're Chicago, you got to help
Speaker 2: justin fields. I mean there's teams where you go, okay,
Speaker 2: we got to get a quarterback, but you also have
Speaker 2: to have these positional players who are able to help him.
Speaker 2: You got to find your wide receiver, you know, a
Speaker 2: game breaker, somebody who makes a difference there. But how
Speaker 2: high do you go because the analytics aren't in your favor.
Speaker 2: If you're going to go, we're going to get a receiver,
Speaker 2: he's going to turn us around. Usually don't take a
Speaker 2: receiver in the top ten. All right, some phone calls here,
Speaker 2: Nate Ohio, Hey Nate, good morning. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 11: Hey Dan, thanks to taking my call.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 11: I was thinking about out Paul's question earlier about have
Speaker 11: we overinflated the importance of qub's and it made me
Speaker 11: think about do you think Deshaun Watson gets more and
Speaker 11: more anxious with every win that Joe Flacco creates for
Speaker 11: the Browns and does that have an impact on his,
Speaker 11: perhaps his longevity here in Cleveland to say we don't
Speaker 11: make the playoffs next year?
Speaker 2: Ornate, Nate, he doesn't have a care in the world.
Speaker 2: His contract's guaranteed, whether he's playing or not, it's guaranteed.
Speaker 2: Browns were that desperate, like you don't want to come
Speaker 2: to Cleveland, how about we guarantee you a two hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty million dollars? Okay, all right, I think I'm
Speaker 2: gonna like Cleveland.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pauline, As as we've seen before, Deshaun Watson, he
Speaker 3: loves not playing football. I think he'd be fine if
Speaker 3: Joe Flaco got the starting job next year. He could
Speaker 3: just sit in one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be uh hey, is
Speaker 2: this open to competition next year? Joe Flacco and Deshaun
Speaker 2: Watson not be funny? Be interesting? If he gets to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, then we have sort of the situation
Speaker 2: the Eagles had, maybe a little bit Nick Foles, Joe Flacco, anybody.
Speaker 3: Maybe, but the contract, there's no way out, No, I know?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bill in Indianapolis? Hi, Bill, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 2: Dan?
Speaker 10: My question is have you noticed an NFL practices that
Speaker 10: a lot of the players now are wearing these padded helmets. Yeah,
Speaker 10: but the NFL in games refuses to allow them to
Speaker 10: wear them. Do you think the NFL is setting them
Speaker 10: up for themselves are a little trouble or liability because
Speaker 10: of the fact the players must think of protects them,
Speaker 10: but they won't allow them to wear them in the games.
Speaker 2: I don't know if a player has asked to use
Speaker 2: that in a game and been denied, That's what I'd
Speaker 2: like to know. Do we send Todd into battle with
Speaker 2: that question? For the NFL? Paully, what do you think
Speaker 2: should I ask Fritz to reach out to the NFL
Speaker 2: on a nice Thursday. No, they're probably going man, no
Speaker 2: game denied. Everything's good. Not hearing from Fritzie today with
Speaker 2: another silly question.
Speaker 3: Uh you know Peter King asked about this and my
Speaker 3: Flora while back, the NFL hasn't ruled it out and
Speaker 3: because if they're serious about safety, but right now they
Speaker 3: don't allow they call them the guardian caps, the padded things. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 3: Flora think it's because it potentially diminishes the presentation of
Speaker 3: the game, the look and also using them in a
Speaker 3: full speed capacity. Can they that's the safety reason. I
Speaker 3: think they haven't been applied yet because can they catch?
Speaker 3: Can they hook on someone and cause a neck injury?
Speaker 3: Practice is much more limited to action.
Speaker 12: Yes, I would hope it's just a safety reason.
Speaker 5: If it's for the look of the product, putting in
Speaker 5: good guy's necks and possible injuries just because they don't
Speaker 5: like the big kazoo Flintstone's helmet, I'd have a problem
Speaker 5: with that much.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Tonk uh Leka in Nevada.
Speaker 13: Uh, I call like a uh, sorry, we're correcting you.
Speaker 13: I just wanted to call and touch on a couple
Speaker 13: of scenes because I'm a long time for some caller.
Speaker 13: But when I I'd say pretty uh, he kind of
Speaker 13: reminds me of a character actor. Uh, and he was
Speaker 13: he was a hit. Uh. He kind of played a
Speaker 13: hard scrabble detective and climbed out of a bottle to
Speaker 13: save Roger Rabbit. Bob Hoskins, Okay, and that's he's my guy.
Speaker 13: So he should definitely call the NFL because he's like,
Speaker 13: do some detective work.
Speaker 2: All right, Ton, how about some detective work.
Speaker 12: On my Hoskins hat? And that's see what we can
Speaker 12: find out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's Uh, that's Micah who was calling in
Speaker 2: from Nevada. Not likea gotta help. Uh, Tyler taking your
Speaker 2: phone calls with spell check. There there are times when
Speaker 2: he'll put the name up or the city there from,
Speaker 2: and I'm not quite sure so, uh Tyler. Tim and Baltimore, Hi, Mitch.
Speaker 12: I know I'm from Michigan and from minch.
Speaker 2: I love throwing people under the bus. That's what we do.
Speaker 2: We lead the league in throwing people under the bus.
Speaker 2: George and Texas, Hey George, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4: Hey? Dan? I get two quick things, so there's no fun.
Speaker 4: I think is big enough to affect Tepper. I think
Speaker 4: a more appropriate punishment would be if they take away
Speaker 4: a draft pick. You know, now he's hurting this team.
Speaker 4: You throw a drink, maybe you lose a second or
Speaker 4: third rounder.
Speaker 2: You know what. I understand where you're coming from, George.
Speaker 2: I think it's a little little harsh first offense, and
Speaker 2: I would just ban him. I would not let him
Speaker 2: go to the game. I think that would resonate a
Speaker 2: little bit more than he's got to write it. He
Speaker 2: not even writing the check. Somebody going to write the
Speaker 2: check for him, just like somebody wrote that so called
Speaker 2: apology that didn't include the word apology or apologize. I
Speaker 2: think the NFL was like, we got to do something here.
Speaker 2: If you didn't have video attached to that, then I
Speaker 2: wonder what the NFL would be doing now trying to
Speaker 2: spin this. Yeah, I think he got off easy. Three
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. Yes, that's a lot of money to us,
Speaker 2: but not to him. The embarrassment is what you have
Speaker 2: to get him on when you miss games. Like when
Speaker 2: you find a player, it's really about if you miss games,
Speaker 2: and Draymond Green is really hurting the Warriors. You could
Speaker 2: have fined him two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, but
Speaker 2: he's missing games and that will be reflective of Golden
Speaker 2: State's playoff status, you know coming up in April and May.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break. Our good buddy Albert Breer will
Speaker 2: stop by. We'll ask him. Is Bill Belichick getting fired
Speaker 2: on Monday Back After this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

Speaker 2: Age seven to seven to three, DP show email andres
Speaker 2: Dpadanapatrick dot Com, Twitter handle a DP show. Albert Breer
Speaker 2: is the Monday morning quarterback, joining us on the program.
Speaker 2: Let me start with Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick coaching his
Speaker 2: last game as Patriots head coach. This weekend.
Speaker 8: I think, so now, you know, you never know what
Speaker 8: could happen when Craft gets into a room with Belichick
Speaker 8: next week. But I don't think this is a decision
Speaker 8: that you wake up on Monday morning and make. In
Speaker 8: other words, like in some cases an owner will decide
Speaker 8: on the last Sunday the season. I want to sleep
Speaker 8: on it, and it's truly a Black Monday decision. Obviously,
Speaker 8: with something like this, there's a lot more thought that
Speaker 8: goes into it, and it's a decision that Craft's going
Speaker 8: to have made over months, not weeks, and so like
Speaker 8: that part of it, I think makes it. It's going
Speaker 8: to make it more difficult for Bill to move craft
Speaker 8: office spot, if that's what he intends to do. And
Speaker 8: you know, the very least, I think, you know what
Speaker 8: we've seen over the last four weeks. The team is
Speaker 8: still playing hard for Bill and the Bill can still coach.
Speaker 8: But those were never the issues. The issues are systemic here,
Speaker 8: and I think if Bill were going to stay and
Speaker 8: then as the head coach, it would come with a
Speaker 8: lot of change around him. And you know, after losing
Speaker 8: the most games at any point thirty years of ownership,
Speaker 8: I'm not sure Craft even be willing to do that.
Speaker 2: We'll see. And we were wondering, are they going to
Speaker 2: use that top five, top three draft pick on a quarterback?
Speaker 2: If they're sitting there at three or two, are they
Speaker 2: taking a quarterback?
Speaker 8: It's hard to say because we don't know who's making
Speaker 8: the decision right now. Right I think we make the
Speaker 8: assumption dp that there's going to be some changes in personnel.
Speaker 8: And I think in all likelihood, you know, Robert Kraft's
Speaker 8: probably going to want to hire a general manager now,
Speaker 8: whether that's somebody internal external. But you know, even if
Speaker 8: Bill stays, you know, I would think that maybe you'd
Speaker 8: want to empower somebody in scouting based on where the
Speaker 8: roster is right now, and we don't know that person's
Speaker 8: going to be right now, and.
Speaker 12: We don't know that coach is going to be.
Speaker 8: You know, that said, I think it's almost I think
Speaker 8: it's very difficult to see a scenario where whether it's
Speaker 8: Bill Belichick as the head coach of Gerrod Meyo is
Speaker 8: the head coach Mac Jones is back in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 8: which puts them in play for a quarterback next year. Now,
Speaker 8: if they were to blow the whole thing up and
Speaker 8: go outside the organization and bring in some he knew
Speaker 8: from the Shanahan tree or something like that, then maybe
Speaker 8: mac Jones would have a chance. But if it's either
Speaker 8: Belichick or Mayo, I have a hard time seeing Mac
Speaker 8: being back here in twenty twenty four, and that would
Speaker 8: put them in the market for a quarterback in the draft. Now,
Speaker 8: whether or not they're drafted third or fifth or seventh,
Speaker 8: we don't know whether or not they're going to like
Speaker 8: the guy who's there for them at third or fifth
Speaker 8: or seventh. We don't know whether that's a Pennix or
Speaker 8: a McCarthy or a Knicks or whoever it is. We
Speaker 8: don't know what they're going to think of those people,
Speaker 8: but they certainly will be in play. You know, I
Speaker 8: think regardless of who's the coach, you know, whether it's
Speaker 8: belichicker Mayo in.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four, give me the reason why, the biggest
Speaker 2: reason why Jim Harbaugh will go to the NFL. If
Speaker 2: that's the case, the reason, biggest reason will be.
Speaker 8: What unfinished business in the pros I think would be
Speaker 8: the number one thing, and I think close behind it
Speaker 8: would be like all the circumstances with the NCAA you know,
Speaker 8: and the fact that that thing's not over. I mean,
Speaker 8: when that notice of allegation was served to him, a
Speaker 8: lot of people conflated that as like being for everything.
Speaker 2: It wasn't, you know, it was just for the.
Speaker 8: Quote unquote cheeseburger thing, which was really more of like
Speaker 8: a COVID recruiting violations thing, you know. And and so
Speaker 8: that means the NCAA hasn't even gotten to the notice
Speaker 8: on the Connor Stallion situation. So I wouldn't blame Jim
Speaker 8: if he threw his hands up and says, you know what,
Speaker 8: like I've accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, and like
Speaker 8: I it's time to move on. And I think part
Speaker 8: of his thinking here too is, you know, like that
Speaker 8: the opportunity to go to the NFL hasn't been vast
Speaker 8: for him over the last two years. So he knows
Speaker 8: these things can be fickle, and as great as the
Speaker 8: record was in at the NFL level, teams weren't falling
Speaker 8: over themselves after the twenty one season, after the twenty
Speaker 8: two season to go and get him. Otherwise, I think
Speaker 8: he might be in the pros right now. And so
Speaker 8: if there is a strong pursuit of him from the Chargers.
Speaker 8: From the Raiders, then I think that's certainly something that
Speaker 8: he looks at sixty years old and says, time to
Speaker 8: go take care of unfinished business in the league.
Speaker 2: He's the Monday Morning quarterback Albert Breer speaking of the Raiders,
Speaker 2: Antonio Pierce has done a really good job. Players seem
Speaker 2: to like him. But if I guess, does Mark Davis
Speaker 2: hold off on giving him the official announcement the title
Speaker 2: of head coach until he knows that maybe he doesn't
Speaker 2: get Jim Harbaugh could hinge on that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, the number one thing I think we have
Speaker 8: to remember here is that he can't just give him
Speaker 8: the head coaching job because of the rules, Like so
Speaker 8: they have to go through a process and you know,
Speaker 8: satisfy the ruining rule and all the rest of that, right,
Speaker 8: Like so they can't in this day and age, you
Speaker 8: can't do that. I do think he likes Antonio Pierce.
Speaker 8: I know, like the guys that he counsels with, and
Speaker 8: there are three players in particular that he's really counseled
Speaker 8: with a lot, you know, ahead of the Josh McDaniels
Speaker 8: and Dave Zigler firings and then you know into all
Speaker 8: of this, and that's Josh Jacobs, Max Crosby, and DeVante Adams.
Speaker 8: I think all three of those guys they're strong proponents
Speaker 8: of Antonio Piers. But what I've pretty consistently heard over
Speaker 8: the last couple of weeks Dan is that he's got
Speaker 8: a big swing in him. And I don't know whether
Speaker 8: that swing is gonna be Jim Harbaugh or Bill Belichick,
Speaker 8: but I have heard that he's got a big swing
Speaker 8: in him and if he misses, if he fails to
Speaker 8: connect on that big swing, then maybe he turns back
Speaker 8: to Antonio Pierce. But his dad had a great relationship
Speaker 8: with Belichick. I'm sure you know about that. And he's
Speaker 8: got a relationship with Jim Harbaugh. He tried to hire
Speaker 8: him in twenty fifteen when Harbaugh went to Michigan. So
Speaker 8: one way or the other, you know, there's at least
Speaker 8: a lot of buzz out there that Mark's got a
Speaker 8: big swing in him and he's going to take that
Speaker 8: swing before you know, deciding whether or not to make
Speaker 8: Antonio Piers his next head coach.
Speaker 2: I'm sure the commissioner has a list of things that
Speaker 2: if you do X, then it cost you why or
Speaker 2: your punishment is going to be this. But when it
Speaker 2: comes to an owner and David Tepper, I don't know
Speaker 2: if is there a negotiation that goes on between the
Speaker 2: commissioner and the owner? Like, well, David Tepper, do you
Speaker 2: think that this was a negotiation or just I'm finding
Speaker 2: a three hundred thousand dollars in that shit? Who's whose boss?
Speaker 2: And that'll just well that's why I'm wondering. Is it
Speaker 2: a negotiation between owner and the commissioner?
Speaker 8: I mean, we know who's who the boss in this
Speaker 8: scenario is, so I yeah, I mean I think that
Speaker 8: there's definitely back and forth. Yeah, I don't know it
Speaker 8: specifically in this situation, but I do know in situations
Speaker 8: like this in the past, you know, whether they involved
Speaker 8: Jerry Jones or.
Speaker 2: Or Robbert Crafter.
Speaker 8: Daniel Snyder's like the primary one right where they certainly didn't.
Speaker 2: Just come down and sanctioned Daniel Snyder.
Speaker 8: There was back and forth there, Jim irsay another one, like,
Speaker 8: you know, I think this would be one of those
Speaker 8: where there's definitely some back and forth, and I think,
Speaker 8: you know, like to me, like the crazy thing about it,
Speaker 8: Dan is like you couldn't even take them off out
Speaker 8: of the stadium this Sunday, right, Like, you couldn't even
Speaker 8: do that. You couldn't even give him the suspension to
Speaker 8: take him out of the stadium this Sunday.
Speaker 2: And why did you do that?
Speaker 8: Well, I'd assume it's because Tepper leaned on him, right,
Speaker 8: like the opticalper back in a stadium this weekend. Think
Speaker 8: about that, Like, I think that's the one piece of
Speaker 8: this everybody's missing. Forget about the money, you know, Like
Speaker 8: the guy's got money coming out of his ears, So
Speaker 8: whatever the money is the money. But you know, like
Speaker 8: I think you know one thing that I can remember
Speaker 8: somebody's saying to me a long time ago, you know,
Speaker 8: when it came to covering the league, is like the
Speaker 8: one thing you don't do is you don't want to
Speaker 8: embarrass a billionaire, right, And that's the one thing that
Speaker 8: really gets these guys. And like I think, in a
Speaker 8: certain way, if you look at the apology, it wasn't
Speaker 8: really an apology, right, his David Tepper really skipped embarrassment here.
Speaker 2: Yes, And that's why I said, you want to hurt him,
Speaker 2: don't let him go to his stadium to watch his team, right.
Speaker 8: And like I that looks to me, like that's the
Speaker 8: that looks incredibly weak, right cause, I mean you could
Speaker 8: find him two million dollars. That's still like a rounding
Speaker 8: error right for him. I mean like like I you
Speaker 8: know what if you want to if you if you
Speaker 8: want to make him feel it, you make the story
Speaker 8: David Tepper is not in.
Speaker 2: The stadium today.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then people are looking down the field, they
Speaker 8: see an interim coach and they do that. They do
Speaker 8: the math, and you know what the math will show him, Dan,
Speaker 8: that's this is going to be his ninety ninth game
Speaker 8: as the team owner. Twenty two of those ninety two
Speaker 8: games have been presided over by an interim coach. Think
Speaker 8: about that, twenty two of ninety ninety game. How attractive
Speaker 8: is this job? Well, it's one of thirty two, so
Speaker 8: that should answer your question.
Speaker 2: Well, David Tepper is one of thirty two. But he's
Speaker 2: not like the other owners. He's going to be able
Speaker 2: to find somebody.
Speaker 8: But like, yeah, I mean I think for guys with options,
Speaker 8: like look at Arizona last year, right, So Arizona wasn't
Speaker 8: a very very attractive job. You've got a quarterback who
Speaker 8: maybe you're not sure on who's got a massive contract
Speaker 8: that you're tied to because the guarantees in it, the
Speaker 8: roster is in really good is in very good shape.
Speaker 8: The owner's got some checkered history there too. Arizona wasn't
Speaker 8: a very attractive job. Jonathan Gannon had to take that job,
Speaker 8: and he's done a great job, right, Like, but he
Speaker 8: had to take why well, because he's a defensive coach.
Speaker 8: And every year maybe half the owners decide ahead of time,
Speaker 8: I'm not hiring a defensive coach, sure, right, and then
Speaker 8: the other half are just going to consider It's not
Speaker 8: like those guys have decided they will. So there's gonna
Speaker 8: be somebody to take the job. But if you're Ben Johnson,
Speaker 8: do you take it? That's I mean, that means.
Speaker 2: The question probably, so, I like you might not if
Speaker 2: you have options?
Speaker 8: Right, So I think like these things are a function
Speaker 8: of a guy's options, Like is it guy? Does a
Speaker 8: guy have a strong enough resume where he can wait
Speaker 8: for a year, right like dan Quinn's waited a year twice?
Speaker 8: Does a guy have a strong enough resume where he
Speaker 8: can wait for a year and be assured that his
Speaker 8: stock is still going to be in good shape a
Speaker 8: year from now.
Speaker 1: Does a guy have.
Speaker 8: Multiple options so he can look at it and say,
Speaker 8: because I think like if you look at like whatever
Speaker 8: the list is of the coaching jobs, the Panthers, because
Speaker 8: of the ownership situation, are the very bottom of it.
Speaker 8: This is like what Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick tell
Speaker 8: all their assistants, would tell all their assistants, right which
Speaker 8: is there's one thing that you cannot change no matter
Speaker 8: what you do, and that's the owner. That's the one thing,
Speaker 8: like no matter what, like remember that when you go
Speaker 8: and interview for this job. Belichick and Parcels would tell
Speaker 8: their assistants that, like, the one thing you cannot change
Speaker 8: is the owner. And right now, David Tepper's I mean,
Speaker 8: and it's not just this like incident in a vacuum.
Speaker 8: This incident confirmed what everybody thinks about him already, you know,
Speaker 8: like in a three second video, Like everything that's been rumored,
Speaker 8: everything that's been you know, everything that's been sort of stereotyped,
Speaker 8: whatever about David Tepper, Like he confirmed all of it
Speaker 8: in three second video. So you know, I just I
Speaker 8: look at this and it's just a really it's again
Speaker 8: like I think the Carolina job as far as desirability
Speaker 8: will be at the bottom of the list, which means
Speaker 8: they're probably gonna have to hire a guy who doesn't
Speaker 8: have the leverage to wait for another year and doesn't
Speaker 8: have multiple options.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you is always Albert. Thanks for
Speaker 2: joining us. All right, thanks Dan, that's Albert Breer Monday
Speaker 2: morning quarterback. Always makes us smarter. Yeah, it's tricky. You're
Speaker 2: gonna get somebody who can't turn down that Carolina job. Maybe,
Speaker 2: unless you know, Jim Harball revisits that, then you're gonna
Speaker 2: have the Chargers. I think Harball is going to have
Speaker 2: a couple of opportunities. Maybe the Raiders thrown in there.
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bears. I don't think the Bears
Speaker 2: are going to make a change there. I don't know
Speaker 2: what happens in Atlanta either, Yeah, PAULI going back to
Speaker 2: the Raiders.
Speaker 3: It seems like the public sentiment is all for Antonio
Speaker 3: Pierce becoming the new head coach. Couldn't they get him
Speaker 3: on the cheap ish where? And that's supposedly a franchise
Speaker 3: that's not.
Speaker 2: Well, they're paying other coaches, right, you know, they're paying
Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels and John Gruden. I think it might be,
Speaker 2: you know, paying you know the memory of John Madden
Speaker 2: for all I know, but yeah, you know they were
Speaker 2: in this situation before Rich Basacia. Players loved him. They're
Speaker 2: playing hard, and then all of a sudden you go, no,
Speaker 2: he's not a big enough name, man. I just want
Speaker 2: to know if you can do the job. It's like,
Speaker 2: you know, Mike McDaniel with with Miami, A lot of
Speaker 2: people didn't know and then all of a sudden you realize,
Speaker 2: all right, the guy knows what he's doing the least offensively.
Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing there. But sometimes there's nothing
Speaker 2: wrong with hiring somebody who then can become a name.
Speaker 2: Not You don't always have to get the name I
Speaker 2: want to. You can evolve into a really good coach
Speaker 2: and then we remember what your name is, like Sean McVay,
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan. I mean, Shane Steichen has do a good
Speaker 2: job in Indy, but nobody knew his name. You probably
Speaker 2: didn't know his name until I told you. I didn't
Speaker 2: know his name until PAULI told me.
Speaker 15: I'm kidding, double stinking Yeah, that sounds like a football coach.
Speaker 2: Uh, Marcus and Jacksonville. Hey Marcus, how are you, Andy Bete?
Speaker 16: I am thought at seven and a soft past holiday
Speaker 16: two hundred and thirty pounds. I was at the Jags
Speaker 16: Panthers game as a diehard Jags fan, and I think
Speaker 16: I got hit by a few droplets of the drink
Speaker 16: thinking about suing because he clearly didn't control where the
Speaker 16: drink was going. And I got a Fritzy style, Prinzy
Speaker 16: style play on words. I'm thinking that David just lost
Speaker 16: his temper and uh and uh you know that didn't
Speaker 16: It's like it's like temper but tepper.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I got I got it. Marcus, You're
Speaker 2: a little late on that late on that temper, tantrum
Speaker 2: like temper, a little late on the trickery. That's okay,
Speaker 2: all right, no worries. You know, I have my slow moments.
Speaker 2: No where I'm going. Yeah, this is the guy who
Speaker 2: couldn't remember Albert Poohols's name or Tom Izzo's name a
Speaker 2: few years ago. I'm like, Paul, I have no idea
Speaker 2: who that is. He's like, it's Albert Pooholes and I
Speaker 2: go all right, and then Tom Izzough I couldn't remember
Speaker 2: his name. Just sometimes you have that You're like, what
Speaker 2: am I doing here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, do you remember when a bunch of years
Speaker 3: ago we were on Sports Jeopardy and you're hosting and
Speaker 3: some of the questions are really tough, but occasionally on
Speaker 3: Sports Jeopardy there's kind of an easy one. It's just
Speaker 3: whoever hits the buzzer first. Yes, I had a daily
Speaker 3: double and it was so it is just mine and
Speaker 3: the hint was like where cal Ripken used to work.
Speaker 3: It's Camden Yards. And I sat there and You're like
Speaker 3: you and I paused, and it's like it was on
Speaker 3: the other side of my head. I couldn't find it.
Speaker 3: You actually go Paul on TV. I'm like, Dan, I
Speaker 3: don't have it. You're like, oh my god. It was
Speaker 3: like it was such an obvious answer. Yeah, never that'll
Speaker 3: haunt me.
Speaker 2: But it did it cost you Sports Jeopardy?
Speaker 3: No, because McLevin uh messed up with Lou Garrigg or
Speaker 3: something like that.
Speaker 2: That was fun that we got on an episode. It's
Speaker 2: tense and it was you and McLevin and Fritzy and
Speaker 2: we're on the Jeopardy set and you know, you have
Speaker 2: an audience there. The clues, the people come up with
Speaker 2: the clues of the people come up with clues for Jeopardy,
Speaker 2: and it was serious and I even said to them,
Speaker 2: a couple of writers, big sports fans, and I said, look,
Speaker 2: if you cater something to Fritzy with the Astros or
Speaker 2: the Broncos, if not, he's not going to do well here.
Speaker 2: And even then they gave a couple of these questions
Speaker 2: that Todd. They were like, here you go, Todd, and
Speaker 2: the button's not working.
Speaker 12: I actually asked the stagemak to come check out the connection.
Speaker 3: During Cinemax movies.
Speaker 2: Ye pressing the buttons, but they had these buttons. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's really the key to Jeopardy. The timing of that.
Speaker 2: You can't buzz in until I'm done with the clue,
Speaker 2: and then the timing of that is where you can
Speaker 2: you can just roll people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is tricky too for the contestants because they're
Speaker 6: up there. There's the assumption then that I know a
Speaker 6: lot about this, which is tricky enough, right, because there's
Speaker 6: a certain like it's not arrogance, but there's a certain like, yeah,
Speaker 6: I know a lot about this so much so that
Speaker 6: I'm going to go on this show. But then you
Speaker 6: throw in the added dynamic of like, say, like the
Speaker 6: the sort of underlying competition, say between like Paul and McLevin,
Speaker 6: because both of them want to prove that they know
Speaker 6: more about sports than the other one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Todd not so much. He's just up there for
Speaker 2: the experience.
Speaker 6: But those two, it was like, it's more competitive than
Speaker 6: you think, and they want to beat the other guys
Speaker 6: just so they can always have the in the back pocket.
Speaker 2: I beat you at Sports Jeopardy. But the thing is
Speaker 2: is you we're gonna remember the question you miss, the
Speaker 2: clue you miss, and that's what you're worried about. It's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I did pretty well, but you wait,
Speaker 2: you missed that one. Yeah, missed that one. Where does
Speaker 2: cal Ripkin play? Uh, Paulie, I don't know. Where is
Speaker 2: Camden Yards? Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: The first Sports Jeopardy we did, the final question or
Speaker 3: hint was in stadium Yeah, in belated recognition of what
Speaker 3: one of baseball's greatest achievements, And it was in what
Speaker 3: monument park? Is it?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 3: At Yank And the answer was Roger Marris and I
Speaker 3: got it. Mcgleovin went Don Larson. The second Sports Jeopardy,
Speaker 3: we all got it wrong. Your hint was ironically the
Speaker 3: highest career three point percentage from anyone named steph like
Speaker 3: not named Curry or something like that, and none of
Speaker 3: us got it. We've all blanked curse you, cursed curve.
Speaker 3: We didn't get the.
Speaker 2: Hint, all right, Yeah, we don't get the hint on
Speaker 2: a lot of things, certainly, Todd, Yes, DoD there was one.
Speaker 5: With Russ Hodges and met the giants one the pen.
Speaker 5: What was like said over and over again. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: I actually think what is going crazy? They're going crazy?
Speaker 5: Is what I said, instead of the giants one of
Speaker 5: the pen. Was embarrassing.
Speaker 2: But there are times Todd wouldn't ask in form of
Speaker 2: a question, and that he complained that the buzzer on
Speaker 2: Jeopardy that his wasn't working correctly.
Speaker 5: You know, I want to say, oh, that's Jose Cruz,
Speaker 5: Jose Kruz as Yeah, I said, Todd, you have to
Speaker 5: buzz in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let me take a break. More phone
Speaker 2: calls coming up, and about forty minutes from now, Jim
Speaker 2: Kelly and Dan Marino, the Hall of Fame quarterbacks will
Speaker 2: join us together. We're back after this.

Speaker 2: Because I'm a loser, guess which NBA team I watched
Speaker 2: last night just out of curiosity. Didn't need to watch them,
Speaker 2: but I did. I was just curious. Todd, I'll start
Speaker 2: with you. The NBA team that I went out of
Speaker 2: my way to watch.
Speaker 5: You went out of your way to watch the Atlanta
Speaker 5: Hawks for some reason.
Speaker 2: Seaton O'Connor, the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 15: All right, No Marvin, the Pistons, no Paully even less
Speaker 15: obscure because the Pistons are like bad obscure.
Speaker 3: The Washington Wizards, Yes, why would you do that?
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's not a ballgame. You could. I
Speaker 2: don't even know if it was a live game last
Speaker 2: night or it was a replay. But I'm watching, and
Speaker 2: I'm going these guys don't want to play defense. They're
Speaker 2: allowing one almost one hundred and twenty seven points per game.
Speaker 2: That'll be the most allowed by a team in a
Speaker 2: season since nineteen ninety. The Denver Nuggets gave up one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty points. But that team could score that
Speaker 2: was a fun team Denver Nuggets back then, but or
Speaker 2: at least I think they were. They were giving up
Speaker 2: a lot of points, but they were scoring some points
Speaker 2: as well. But this Washington Wizards teams, I could go
Speaker 2: to a rec league and have more competition or people
Speaker 2: who actually cared more. I'm just going look at that.
Speaker 2: Your your goal is to make it to the NBA.
Speaker 2: You get to wear a uniform, you get paid millions
Speaker 2: of dollars, and you're out there and you're like, I'd
Speaker 2: rather be some other place than here, and it certainly
Speaker 2: shows it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like the Pacers give up a ton of points
Speaker 3: on defense, but they do have more on offense, so
Speaker 3: they're a winning team, so it doesn't look bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I watched Luca. Luca had forty one through
Speaker 2: three quarters last night, see that it shouldn't be that easy,
Speaker 2: but he's one of those guys that makes it look easy.
Speaker 2: And forty one through three three quarters last night in
Speaker 2: a big win against the Blazers. So this is the
Speaker 2: third time Luca has scored forty or more through three quarters.
Speaker 2: Only two other players have scored forty or more points
Speaker 2: through three quarters this year. That Giannis and Keegan Murray,
Speaker 2: the stat of the day.
Speaker 1: That of the day.
Speaker 2: Here comes the stat of the day.
Speaker 1: Days that of the day, stat of the day, Here

Speaker 2: dot net. A couple of phone calls in here, see
Speaker 2: would you update the poll results? And are we going
Speaker 2: to have a new poll question for the final hour? Yeah,
Speaker 2: we got two working out, alright.
Speaker 6: I'd rather be a three time first team All Pro
Speaker 6: player or a six time Pro bowler Right now, eighty
Speaker 6: eight percent are going with All Pro.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah I would take that too, you would.
Speaker 2: But if you said I could have three First Team
Speaker 2: All pros or eight Pro Bowls, I think I might
Speaker 2: go eight Pro Bowls.
Speaker 6: What if those are the only three years you played,
Speaker 6: You had three fantastic years, three great years, and then
Speaker 6: you never played again, or you could have six really
Speaker 6: good years.
Speaker 2: Well, Trell Davis had three great years and only I'm
Speaker 2: guessing three great maybe four great years, but three great years.
Speaker 2: You know, it's that that injury asterisk. You know, Kirby
Speaker 2: Puckett got hurt, Gail Sayers got hurt, Terrell Davis got hurt.
Speaker 2: That you know, we at a certain point in a career.
Speaker 2: If you get an injury, it kind of changes, you know,
Speaker 2: your career. Arc I mean, Sterling Sharp should be a
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, three time first team All Pro when
Speaker 2: he was with the Packers. If Trell Davis is in,
Speaker 2: then why isn't Sterling Sharp? Now? You know, maybe it's
Speaker 2: personality or dealing with the media. Does that factor in
Speaker 2: you'll you know, when you talk to writers sometimes they go, well,
Speaker 2: we're not supposed to factor in things off the field. Okay,
Speaker 2: I can understand that with Lawrence Taylor, that doesn't matter
Speaker 2: what happened off the field. But some of these other players,
Speaker 2: Michael Irvin, it felt like they were holding him back.
Speaker 2: Maybe taroll Owen's holding him back, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 7: If Sterling Sharp had won a Super Bowl, yeah, you
Speaker 7: think that would have helped?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it help. I think he's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: I just he's one of those guys that sometimes right
Speaker 2: in front of you and then you go, wait, he's
Speaker 2: not a Hall of Famer. Rodney Harrison, same thing. Maybe
Speaker 2: this year, yes, Mark.
Speaker 7: And also Terrell Davis helped John Elway.
Speaker 2: Yep get over the humph yep some Super Bowls, Dan
Speaker 2: Marino and Jim Kelly together in about thirty minutes from
Speaker 2: now final hour on this Thursday. After this
