1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two on this Tuesday, Dan on the

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Dan That's Dan Patrick Show. In case you're just joining us.

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: The Washington football team is going to have a big

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: announcement on February second, and it has to do with

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: their nickname also their identity. I don't know what that means.

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: Is their identity attached to their nickname. It used to

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: be the Redskins. Of course, now the Washington football team.

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: As Seaton just pointed out to me, that's Groundhogs day.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: Maybe they just stay with the Washington football team. I

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: don't think they can go back to the Redskins, let's

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: put it that way. They may like to, but that's

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: not going to happen. But they're gonna be the Washington Groundhogs.

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: Oh maybe that's a Washington football team. On two two

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: twenty two on NBC The Today Show, The Punks Attornies. Yes. Point.

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: It would be fair though to Ahton fans, because every

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: year feels like the previous year. If you're a fan

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: of that team, Hey, we got some talent, we've ansed

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: new players, we sent money, and we're just shy of

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: being a quality football team. But it says that they're

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: going to announce their identity and their nickname. Right, what

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: does that mean? Your identity? We know what your identity is.

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: You're trying to change your identity. I don't know if

24
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: you can go. And we shouldn't be known as a

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: crappy football team anymore. And our new nickname is the Armata.

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: These are our core values, core values, and our new

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: identity as a team. These are our core values and

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: believe Yes, here's our mission statement from Dan Snyder. Identity

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three D show. It does say that, right,

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: it does a name and identity. What are they going

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: to play another sport? They got to take up volleyball?

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: See that works out? Eight seven seven three D P

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: show email address DP of Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: handle at DP show. I don't know if we have

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: a poll question yet. We were so busy in the

36
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: first town. R. Todd, We've got a Polly special. If

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: you could start your franchise with one QB from the

38
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and four draft, You're going with Eli Manning,

39
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers or Big Ben. Okay, I would go with

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Big Ben. Then I would go with Philip Rivers. Then

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: I'd go to Eli Manning, they're probably all three Hall

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: of famers. Ben certainly is Eli with the two wins

43
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Philip with an accumulation of numbers, there

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: probably going to be a Hall of Famer. But yeah,

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: I'd go Ben, Philip Rivers, and then Eli Manning. Email

46
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: I addressed epa dan Patrick dot com twitter handle at

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: DP show say good morning, Good morning to those on

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: chat row and those with our audience, our streaming partner

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Peacock and Fox Sports Radio nearly four hundred cities around

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: America carrying this program. We'll check in with the Tampa

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Is there a reason why we don't have

52
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: any finality on Antonio Brown? And from what I'm told,

53
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: I think the Buccaneers would like to suspend Antonio Brown.

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: They are trying to make sure that they're not going

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: to get a salary cap hit or that they're going

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: to allow him to play for another team. But the

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: NFL Players Association is involved in this and the language

58
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: here of is it conduct detrimental? Could they suspend him?

59
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could cut somebody during a game,

60
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: but it feels like there's still some questions to be answered.

61
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Rick Stroud, who covers the Buccaneers for

62
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Times. He'll join us a little bit

63
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: later on. We have football college football coming up tonight.

64
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: LSU versus Kansas State. It's the Tax Act Texas bull

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: Texas doesn't have income tax, does it, but they're gonna

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: have the Tax Act. It's funny tex sponsorship placement. Yes, Paul,

67
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: I remember the story you to tell us about your

68
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: dad and sent you and your brothers around the suppire

69
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: watching the Tax Act. Yeah, Texas ball. As a kid,

70
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: great memories, fond memories. Didn't have many memories with my father,

71
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: but that was one that we would sit around. They

72
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: watched the Tax Act Texas Bowl. I'm started to bring

73
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: that up. I know it's painful. Yeah. It is LSU

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: versus Kansas State coming up tonight. Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams

75
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: enters the transfer portal. We spent too much time on

76
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: that first hour. From what I'm told, basically open for

77
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: business here because my source said Bryce Young from Alabama

78
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: made one point three million dollars last year. Yeah, I

79
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: just it blows my mind that this is where we

80
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: are in college football, and I'm happy about it. I'm

81
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: not complaining by any means, but what a difference in

82
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, how long has the transfer portal been a thing?

83
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: Three years? Yeah, I mean think about what a swing,

84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: what a change in culture for college football in three years.

85
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: That's insane. And what is happening is you'll see, you know,

86
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: the Georgia Tech running back who went to Alaba, Emma.

87
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: And I was told the day before it happened that hey,

88
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: this kid is really good, but he would never have

89
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: been able to transfer to Alabama. And I apologize, I

90
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: don't remember his name, but I was told I think

91
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: he was all acc is freshman year, and now he's

92
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: going to go to Alabama. You just have it's almost

93
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: this game of chess where you're going, oh, I could

94
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: go here, and I could go here, Jamir Gibbs Okay,

95
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. Yeah, I think he was all acc as

96
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: a freshman, but you know, now he's going to Alabama.

97
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: And it's just it's not just quarterbacks. I think we

98
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: get caught up in it's quarterbacks. Well, it's coaches. First

99
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: of all. Coaches go into the transfer portal. We don't

100
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: call it that, we call it taking another job. Well

101
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: that's what these football players are doing. They're just going,

102
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I want to go here? Now? Do

103
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: I like it? No? But I understand it. And if

104
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams went to Oklahoma from Lincoln Riley and then

105
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden Lincoln Riley goes, then should he

106
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: have the right to be able to go someplace else?

107
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: And I know coaches rail on it. Well, coaches rail

108
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: on it because they want control of everything, and you

109
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: don't have control anymore. The NC DOUBAA doesn't have control anymore. Yes, PAULI,

110
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: I had the transfer portalist. That's fascinating. Remember the kid

111
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: we talked about, Quinn Ewers who left high school early,

112
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: which is always fascinating to go to Ohio State. He's

113
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: now at Texas. Caleb Williams, who had the job to

114
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: himself at Oklahoma, is now the biggest free agent in

115
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: college football history. Dylan Gabriel, who's at UCF doing well,

116
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: slides into Oklahoma. No, but he went to UCLA for

117
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: he was on campus yesterday. He was there for less

118
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: time than Cliff Kingsbury was at USC as offensive coordinator

119
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: Keaton Slovis, who if people loved at USC, is now

120
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: at Pitt You go on and on. Bo Nicks, who

121
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: is the savior at Auburn a few years ago is

122
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: now at Oregon. Yeah, and usually what you do is

123
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: follow the coaching tree. If somebody was with that quarterback

124
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: on that staff, chances are if they got a job

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: or promotion, then they might follow them. So it makes

126
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: that transition a little bit easier. Yes, he is. It

127
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: going to be more difficult to tell which quarterbacks are

128
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: talented moving forward with everybody jumping around, meaning that if

129
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: you get a chance to watch somebody in a system

130
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: or something, and you could get to see what they're

131
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: what they're good at, and what they're not great at.

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: But if they jump from you know, Auburn to Oklahoma, UCLA,

133
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: are you going to get a good a better read

134
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: on them? Well, at least I have a little bit

135
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: more of a sample size. It's harder to assess. I

136
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: think these guys who have talent for one year at Oklahoma,

137
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: talent one year at Ohio State, talent one year at Alabama.

138
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: You're just not quite sure. And that's where if I

139
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: get a couple of years in a system, feels like

140
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: I have a better read on somebody. But yeah, they're

141
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: going to be bouncing around and playing in different systems,

142
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: and you know, it might be a little bit harder

143
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: to assess just how good they are. But they want

144
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: playing time. You want name, image and likeness. You want

145
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: to capitalize on that as well. And now it's it's

146
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: a free market place. You're open for business here, and

147
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I think that's what Caleb Williams may go back to Oklahoma,

148
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: but my gut feeling is he's not. If Dylan Gabriel

149
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: was at UCLA for a day and then transfers to Oklahoma,

150
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess you're not transferring to Oklahoma to sit

151
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: behind Caleb Williams for the next two seasons unless you

152
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: knew something. Yeah. See, who's to say that all of

153
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: a sudden. Notre Dame doesn't come up with five million

154
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: dollars in me all you want to play here, there's

155
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 1: h this sponsorship for you. Notre Dame doesn't do that

156
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But now with the name, with the

157
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: nil you can it's perfectly above board. We'll put your

158
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: face on the Golden Dome. Oh sure, Yeapo can imagine

159
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: being a college coach now compared to ten years ago.

160
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: You have to recruit for years a high school kid.

161
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Then you have to keep him, and then you have

162
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: to rerecruit the transfer portal, so you got to you're

163
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: a head coach, all you're hearing from your assistances. Now

164
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: this guy might be available. Do I have to call him?

165
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: Do I have to go to his house? Now? He's

166
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: a sophomore at Texas? Blah blah blah. Man, it just

167
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: doesn't stomp. It never stops because once you recruit, now

168
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: you got to sort of wait to poach with the

169
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: transfer portal because you and you have to worry about

170
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: your players too, Like are you are you happy? Yeah? Yeah,

171
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean like are you really happy? Yeah? Yeah. I

172
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: was told by his source there's so much tampering going

173
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: on with you know, the transfer portal and name, image

174
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: and likeness. Hey, but there's no rules, there's no governing

175
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: body to say, hey, we're watching you. I mean, there

176
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: used to be the NCAA. But you know you can tamper.

177
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what's going on. And I do understand

178
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: that part of it. If I'm a coach and somebody says, hey,

179
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, you like how things are going at that school,

180
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we do have this and and we

181
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: can offer you this, but that's what's going on. They're

182
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: trying to poach, yes, Fritzie, And how do parents process

183
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: all this? You know, there's already been lying that's gone

184
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: on over the years. Now it's even worse. Oh, you're

185
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna you want my kid until tomorrow or next Thursday

186
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: when that quarterback or that wide receiver is available from

187
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: another school. So well, now you can get paid legally.

188
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: You just have to pay taxes on it. That's all. Yeah, see,

189
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: that's all I love, like just seeing everybody on Instagram.

190
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: Somebody just sent me an instagram from Kentucky player proud

191
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: to have my nil deal with Porsche of Kentucky and

192
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: here he is a one hundred and fifty thousand dollar

193
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: car or whatever. Yeah, yeah, so all takes. He's wild

194
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: as wonderful. They've taken out all the great recruiting stories,

195
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, Eric Dickerson in SMU and Texas A and

196
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: M the Gold trans Am. You know, when I had

197
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the Tennessee's story when I said that they were paying

198
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: the recruits in McDonald's bags. I mean, those things are

199
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: that's gone. You know, you get a happy meal and

200
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: a happier meal because you got money in the bag there,

201
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: but that's that's gone. Oh I missed the good old

202
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: days when you could get people money under the table. Yes,

203
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: both Remember a couple I mean about a year ago.

204
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: We had Rex Chapman on the former Kentucky star who

205
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: was a star at age eighteen nineteen, and you asked

206
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: him how much he could have made it, and I

207
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: always legal back then. He goes, well, I did pretty

208
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: well without it, but he would have if it was legal.

209
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: Rexa's household name. In nineteen I still remember a story

210
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: of somebody I played against and uh, he said that

211
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, he was recruited by Kentucky and they took

212
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: him to the race track and he didn't know anything

213
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: about horses, and he said, it doesn't matter. He said,

214
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a winner. And he came home with

215
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: a Mercedes Ben's two seater. It was at that fifty

216
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: tracks I usually won like fourteen bucks. I just remember

217
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: he showed up in a Mercedes two seed and I go, damn,

218
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: where'd you get that? And he goes, uh, school went

219
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: to the race track. The horse came in. Yeah, how

220
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: much horsepower you got in there? Uh, it'll probably come

221
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: in the same, you know. I got some winners next

222
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: year as well. All Right, we'll get phone calls coming

223
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: out and we got our poll question. I believe, and uh,

224
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: we'll check in with the Buccaneers. Is Big Ben done?

225
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: I gotta believe he's done done. It certainly looked like

226
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: that last night. Drew Brees had a job waiting. NBC

227
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: held that job for Drew Brees. He decided to play

228
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: one more year. I think the Steeler maybe wanted to

229
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: move on after this last season, but I think Ben

230
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: gave them an offer that they couldn't refuse. I still

231
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: wonder if they're going to look back and go, we

232
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: should have taken a quarterback, you know, we should have

233
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: done something last year instead of bringing Ben back. But

234
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: they got Naji Harris with their first round draft pick,

235
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: and he's rushed for eleven hundred yards. But Father Time

236
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: still affects quarterbacks. Now. Don't let Tom Brady fool you.

237
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: Ben in his final years certainly not what we remember,

238
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: but it was It was nice last night to see

239
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: him have a good send off against a divisional rival

240
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: that he dominates. He's never lost to the Cleveland Browns

241
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: at home in the regular season, and they did lose

242
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: in the postseason, but he's thirteen to oh against Cleveland.

243
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw was eleven and oh regular season against the Browns.

244
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: So that's that's pretty impressive that Terry never lost to

245
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: the Browns. Brett Farbe was eighteen and oh at home

246
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: against the Lions. That's the most wins at home regular

247
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: season opponent without a loss. A little late, a little

248
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: late on the trigger there had good. Okay, all right, okay,

249
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: it's that of the day. Here is Big Ben after

250
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: the win last night. Hinesfield is so special to me, uh,

251
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, just like the cidious and even you guys.

252
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: For the most part, I am. I'm very thankful and

253
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: blessed to have to call this home and um, so

254
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: thank you to all the fans and everybody. In case

255
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: you were wondering, is that his last home game? There?

256
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: He did the cal Ripken victory laugh and I said, yes,

257
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: this is his last one. Everybody was sort of, you know,

258
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: very careful parsing their words. Is this could be it

259
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: might be his final home game? I think everybody knew,

260
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: but there was nothing of official here unless you're saying, well,

261
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: could Ben play for somebody else next year? And then

262
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: you would have a game against Pittsburgh, but I can't

263
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: see that happening. Maybe he's got a broadcasting job. There's

264
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: certainly reports that, you know, Ben might be able to

265
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: slip into a studio show, maybe the booth. I don't know.

266
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what his you know, short term, long

267
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: term goals are, Yampo. It's a really awkward thing for

268
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: the Steelers because the Steelers can't address this. They can't

269
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: say yes, it's his last home game, because that means

270
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: we're letting him go. We're declaring that we're moving on.

271
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: They're trying to be respectful to his legacy. It's like

272
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: you said earlier, it's the secret. Everyone knows, and it's

273
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: probably been talked about internally, and we are all agreeing

274
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: to do this in a polite way. As you bow out,

275
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: we'll get to phone calls. Coming up, we'll check in

276
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the strategy behind the Antonio

277
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,240

00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: not do. Have that for you coming up next seventeen

00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: of those where you go, hey, I want to be

307
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: in on this, because I always hear about those factory

308
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: workers sometimes where you know, like eleven of the twelve

309
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: put in money and then the twelfth goes well, but

310
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: I was going to yeah, see, Now the question is,

311
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: we have some back room guys who are not in.

312
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: If they put in the money, then they can get in.

313
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: But if they don't put in them then then they're

314
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: not in. We don't even just like peel off a

315
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: little no, or share of a share of a share. No, yeah,

316
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: what if the people who are out share a share.

317
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: That's a great idea by Paul. What if I front

318
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: the guys who are going to do that, I'll front

319
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: their cash, but I get half their cash. Oh well,

320
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: that's up to you, your negotiations, your agreement with them.

321
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: All right, but yeah, five bucks a man, and it's

322
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: a half a billion dollars, yeah, a little over five Okay,

323
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: now we win. I know, one tall, skinny guy who

324
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: went to dart with will be really upset you? Oh,

325
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: that'd be awesome and the winner of the Powerball that

326
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick show minus mclovin. Hey, guys, Rick Stroud covers

327
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers for the Tampa Bay Times. He's got a

328
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: great gig. There's always something going on with the Tampa

329
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers and Rick kind enough to join us. Rick,

330
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: how's morale today in Tampa? Um, it's good, I guess.

331
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're Tom Brady, maybe you're a little depressed.

332
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: But you know, look overall this we all kind of

333
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: knew how this would end, right and maybe not ripping

334
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: your clothes off, you know, to your to your waist,

335
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: But we didn't know that at some point Antonio Brown

336
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: was going to have a meltdown. And it was sad

337
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: to see on national television. But um, you know this,

338
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: this seemed to be inevitable to me. I just don't

339
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: understand Tom saying, yes, you need we need to show compassion.

340
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: He needs help? Did he need help? Prior to what

341
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: happened on Sunday? Rick, We've we've covered we're enablers here.

342
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: Let's not let's not dams around this. We're enablers. You're

343
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. And Tom Brady is the guy

344
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: that stuck his neck out and said, no, I want

345
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: this guy here. I care about him. You know, he's

346
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: coming off the eight game suspension last year. Um, you

347
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: know we heard about anger management and Tony Robbins is

348
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: it a change guy and he moves him into his house.

349
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: So I mean Tom as much as anybody if he

350
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: was worried about his mental health, I don't think putting

351
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: a guy on a football field, um, you know, is

352
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: the way to do it. He was there because he

353
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: could still make plays and and you know that's the

354
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: only reason. And we're all sort of enablers that in

355
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: that sense. And you know he's had this pattern for

356
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: the last three or four years. He wears out as

357
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: welcome in Pittsburgh. You know, I'm not loved here. I

358
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: want to go to the Raiders and then I get

359
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: in a fight under my helmet in it. You know,

360
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: now I'm going to go someplace else. And he was,

361
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, great last here for a little while, and

362
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: now we have this situation. So I don't I don't

363
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: know about the mental health aspect of this. I'm not

364
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm not in that field. Um, I just know that

365
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot of words to describe Antonio Brown, you know,

366
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: and I've heard them all. He's a narcissist, selfish, destructive, um,

367
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, a bully at times. I mean, there's there's

368
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: lots of words to describe him. And I just think

369
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: that you know, playing him right now, if you're truly

370
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: worried about his mental health, that's that's probably not the

371
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: best place for him to be. I also wonder about

372
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: the strategy when I realized that, you know, you had

373
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: Bruce Arian saying he's not a Buccaneer anymore, and I went, well,

374
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's technically not a buccaneer. Officially

375
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: not a buccaneer, but if you're looking at salary cap,

376
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at could he potentially play for somebody else

377
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: in the postseason. So what exactly is happening with the

378
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and Antonio Brown. Well, they're insulting with the National

379
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: Football League about their options, about what procedures they can

380
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: actually use. If it was as simple as hey, we

381
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: don't want him on our team, we're releasing him, that

382
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: could have happened yesterday and it didn't Okay, and I

383
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: suspect the reason it didn't happen is because because we're

384
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: past the trade deadline, he's subject to waivers and he

385
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: could wind up on a playoff team playing against them.

386
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: And it's kind of ironic, right, you don't want the guy,

387
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: but you don't want him to beat you, so you

388
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: know there's going to be a grievance here. The Bucks

389
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: can feel it. That's why Bruce Arians isn't saying a

390
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: lot about the conversation he had on the sideline. ABS

391
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: camp is saying that he was injured, that he didn't

392
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: want to go back in the game because of his ankle.

393
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: That's not really what Bruce Arians is subscribing to. So

394
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: but what he did after that fact, the fact that

395
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: he you know, they didn't put him back in the game,

396
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: but his antics on the field, taking off his uniform,

397
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: running through the end zone, leaving the stadium, that's conduct detrimental. Okay,

398
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: and I suspect that that's probably where they'll fall. Maybe

399
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: they can put him on some suspendion list, maybe not

400
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: pay them. That's up to them. But my guess is

401
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: if they wanted to just get rid of him and

402
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: release him and make him available to the rest of

403
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. That would have happened by now. It doesn't

404
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: help his argument when he's dancing in the end zone

405
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: claiming that he has an injured angle. Here Rick, he's

406
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: doing jumping jack and you know, throwing things to the

407
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: fans and yeah, all of that, and I mean and

408
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: even now right like he's he's still stuck in New

409
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: York for all I know. It's it's it's like home alone,

410
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: they left Kevin or something. You know, he's at the

411
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets game. It's like, you know, I'm not sure

412
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: he's had a change of clothes. I mean, I don't

413
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: know what's going on. But yeah, if he was that injured,

414
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you. He seemed to be running pretty well

415
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: up into the point where he didn't go back into

416
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: the game, and it didn't stop him on the way

417
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: out of the stadium. Bigger picture here, the Buccaneers going

418
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: into the postseason last year, they had a ton of momentum,

419
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: they were healthy, everything was you know, ahead of schedule.

420
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: Here handicapped the Buccaneers. Now as one more regular season game, well,

421
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: they're pretty handicapped offensively, and now they got injuries again

422
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: on the defense. I mean both Jason Pierre, Paul Shack, Barrett,

423
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: who's a big piece of what they do on defense,

424
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: Lavante David. Those two guys, Barrett and David will probably

425
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: come back. But to what degree how affected they'll be,

426
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: we don't know. You know, look, I would say this that,

427
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: and Bruce arians said it. As long as you have

428
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, he just has a way of figuring out

429
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: the puzzle, right, They have other options. You know, they

430
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: still have three tight ends. Bronkowski has played well if

431
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy. They've got Cam Brad in the

432
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: red zone. O J. Howard we haven't seen most of

433
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: the season, but we know he can be a problem

434
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: for some teams. This Cyril Grayson has been one of

435
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: the best stories in the NFL. Guy that didn't play

436
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: college football because he ran track at LSU now making

437
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: all these plays. They still have Brushard, Parrett and Scotty Miller.

438
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: We haven't seen we remember the big plays he made,

439
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: so I would not say that they don't have any playmakers.

440
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette may come back. Let's see if they can

441
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: get all together. They're continuing to build some momentum, I think,

442
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: and they've got a couple of weeks to figure it out.

443
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: If they could get a home game or two again,

444
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: it would not surprise me if you saw Tom Beck

445
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: in the championship game. It's assumed that he's radius back

446
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: next year in Tampa. Correct. I guess, I don't know.

447
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's under contract, right, he did this thing,

448
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: but he can get out of it. It's there's not

449
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: like a ton of cap, you know, penalties. If he

450
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: doesn't play, two things will decide it, and one is

451
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: how does he feel healthwise? And he said unless he

452
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: suffered some injury, he thinks he can play to he's fifty.

453
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: The biggest thing is just his family, you know what.

454
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: And Giselle says every year, if you had enough and

455
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: but the reality is that he's got three kids now

456
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: that are at the age where they're doing things, you know,

457
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: outside of the home, and they have sacrificed a lot

458
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: for him. But I can't see him playing more than

459
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: one more year. Dan. I think forty five, for whatever reason,

460
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: seems to be a weird number that's stuck in his head.

461
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: Does he walk away if they win? And and but

462
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: he could win three in a row and no one's

463
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: done that. If they get to the championship and he

464
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: thinks they can win again next year. It's hard, it's

465
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: hard to really fathom, but like I know this about

466
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: the greatest players in sport, they seem to be the

467
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: ones that don't know when to leave the party, right,

468
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: Like the vacuum cleaners are going, the lights are on,

469
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: They're still there, man, They're still at the bar. So

470
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what Tom Brady will do, but I

471
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: think he'll be back next year. I was on a

472
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: town hall zoom call with him with some other media vibors,

473
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: and I said to him about that moment that I

474
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: had when I left ESPN, and part of the reason

475
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: was I was going to miss out on my kids.

476
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: You know, I have three daughters and my oldest is

477
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: a son, and my wife said they're going to be

478
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: all out of the house. And I was turning fifty

479
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: and I said to Tom, you know, are you worried

480
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: that you're going to wake up one day and the

481
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: kids are going to be out of the house. And

482
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: it got him emotional key because I think it's there,

483
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: and I think Giselle is saying a couple of years

484
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: ago about how Tom has had concussions. Nobody had ever

485
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: talked about Tom having concussions, But it feels like it's

486
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: that tug awar there. Of I want to continue to play,

487
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: but then your kids kind of go on without you,

488
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: and then you try to get you dive back into

489
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: their lives and you could tell where he's going to

490
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: have that tug a war, you know, if he decides

491
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: to play a couple more years. Yeah, I think he's

492
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: having it right now. As a father, I understand that.

493
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: I do think though, you know, at least for spit

494
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: with respect to his oldest son. He had him in

495
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: training camp last year. He's been down a number of

496
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: times for practice. You know, those kids are also old

497
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: enough to appreciate and enjoy his career, you know. So

498
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say, hey, dad, you know, let's

499
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: go win another Super Bowl, and it's okay if you

500
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: miss all my basketball games. But they know it's at

501
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: the end too, and I think they know how much

502
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: it means to him. He said something that when he

503
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: got the Sports Illustrated Man of the Year award that

504
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: resonated with me. He said, I have to be comfortable

505
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch watching other guys play on a Sunday,

506
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: going I know, I'm better than that effort, you know

507
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: what I mean. And he's going to be better than

508
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: three fourths of them at age forty five. So that's

509
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: the toughest thing, man, is that he knows he can

510
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: still do it. Rick, great to talk to him. We'll

511
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: talk to you soon. Thank you again. That's Rick Stroud

512
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: covers the Buccaneers for the Tampa Bay Times, host of

513
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: Sports Day Tampa Bay podcast as well. Yeah, it just

514
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: dawned on me. You know, we just assume, well, Brady,

515
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: you'll be back next year. Not even a topic for

516
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: a guy who's forty four years of age. Ben's retiring,

517
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: Breeze retired, Philip Rivers retired, Brady. Yeah, of course he'll

518
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: continue to play. You want to continue to play when

519
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: you're successful, you're healthy, it's fun. Well he's successful healthy.

520
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: Is it still fun with everything that's going on? Will

521
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: it be? They probably are going to meet up with

522
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs. Now

523
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: you might say, well, it's the Eagles. The Eagles are

524
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: a tricky team, not a great team, not a very

525
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: good dan Orlovsky said, they are a dangerous team and

526
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: they're non traditional and I looked at what the Jets

527
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: did against the Buccaneers. They ran the football. The Eagles

528
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: run the football. I know we're a long way away

529
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: from that. Maybe they match up with somebody else, but

530
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: it's it's not a given that we look at Tampa

531
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: Bay and go, yep, I'm just going to rubber stamp

532
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: them into the title game. I would not bet against Brady,

533
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: but I'm certainly leaning towards betting against Tom Brady. Anybody

534
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: want a piece of that, Like in the NFC to

535
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: b yeah, you would take the rest of the NFC. Well,

536
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: I took the Packers to start the year. Yeah, yeah,

537
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: stay with the Packers. But I just don't Tampa doesn't

538
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: look formidable. Now. You always have the Tom Brady element there.

539
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: But if I take Brady out of the element, then

540
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat Tampa Bay. If the Jets did what

541
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do, they take Brady out of the

542
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: element and then he can't beat them. And I think

543
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles can rush for two hundred yards, control the clock.

544
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: You don't have Godwin, you don't have Antonio Brown, gronk

545
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: Is hit or Miss, you got Evans Bred. You know,

546
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: You're just it's I don't know about four and at

547
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: the defense. The defense won the Super Bowl last year,

548
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: plain and simple. The defense did. But are you going

549
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: to have that defense? Are they going to be ready

550
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: to go on the road if you have to go

551
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: to Green Bay? I don't know. I mean, Brady doesn't

552
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: mind the weather, but I just I look at Tampa

553
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: right now and say it's deeply flawed. But then Dallas

554
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: is flawed. The Rams are flawed. Arizona. Green Bay to me,

555
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: is going to be the most ready team. You're going

556
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: to buy everybody healthy, defensive players back. It just feels like,

557
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: you know they're the team to beat. And I still

558
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs are the team to beat in the AFC. Yeah, poll,

559
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm the man and cast. Last night they were talking

560
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers about the cold in Green Bay, and I

561
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: think Eli. I said, you're from California, how do you

562
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: get used to the cold? He goes, no, no no, no,

563
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: you don't get used to the cold. But you're sitting

564
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: there when it's twelve degrees thinking that guy's way colder

565
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: than I that team that's coming in here is way

566
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: colder than I am, And mentally it makes you think

567
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: like I'm tougher because these guys are in worse shape.

568
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: When I talked to somebody in Los Angeles, they'll go, God,

569
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: it's cold. I said, Oh my god, how cold is

570
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: it's It's like gonna get maybe in the lowest sixties.

571
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: And I go, God, thoughts and prayers, I'm there with you.

572
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: And then they'll go, what, well, how cold is it

573
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: where you are? And I'll go, I think it's around

574
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: thirty one. Oh my god, how do you survive? And

575
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: I go, but I grew up in this. I grew

576
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: up in Ohio. This is this is normal. Yeah, point,

577
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: but there's always one who lives in a colder environment.

578
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: I had friends whom I had relatives lived in Minnesota

579
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: and I lived in Chicago. They're like, come on, man,

580
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: they laugh at people from Chicago com playing about the

581
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: coldcause they live in like Benidgia, Minnesota, where that's way

582
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: up north. Like that's what drives me nuts. It's like,

583
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: eighteen degrees is still cold, no matter where you are,

584
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: it's still eighteen degrees. Yeah, you know what I mean.

585
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: But but I walked outside today and I go, all right,

586
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: got my attention. Yeah, if somebody, if somebody from Los

587
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: Angeles walked outside. They go, what's happening in the world,

588
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: But oh, my golfie jackets. Yes, it's sixty. It seems

589
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: like old guys get used to cold. Well, you'll be

590
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: up in from Mint. You'll see an old guy with

591
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: like a T shirt and overalls on and it's four

592
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: And you always got the guy behind the bar in

593
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: cold weather cities and he's got shorts on. Just for

594
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: some reason. It's like, yeah, yeah, that was when I

595
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: was a mailman. There was always a contestacy who could

596
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: keep wearing their shorts longest into the year. And there

597
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: was this one dude, Merle, who he was from San Diego.

598
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: Actually that's you know what. Let me tell you something,

599
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: all right, you do not mess with Merle. But he

600
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: he would wear all year. He would go straight through

601
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: and he was from San Diego. We're like, dang, dude,

602
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: my nephew lives in North Dakota and he just sends

603
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: me a picture of the temperature. Sometimes what is considered

604
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: the coldest state, like Maine, North Dakota, Minnesota, Alaska, but

605
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: it is Alaska kind of like grandfathered out because it's

606
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: Alaska and Hawaii. We we grandfathered them out out. Man,

607
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: it feels like it gets cold in like Wyoming, Idaho,

608
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: Montana when there's nothing around and you know when the

609
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: wind comes through and you know there's no houses, there's

610
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: no trees, there's and it's like, man, this is this

611
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: is cold. When when we were in Minnesota for the

612
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, this is many many many years ago, and

613
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: I remember going outside and it's one of those where

614
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: I had to go outside, but I didn't want to

615
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: go outside. And I'm with some people and you know,

616
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I gotta be I got to

617
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: show him leadership here and your nostrils are freezing. And

618
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: that's why they have buildings connected in Minnesota so you

619
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: don't have to go outside. That's how you know what

620
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: place is cold were they haven't an inside web of

621
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: always to walk through the entire city where you don't

622
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: ever have to go out of the building. Yeah, I

623
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: went ice fishing. That was when I went ice fishing

624
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: with Chip low Miller in Minnesota. They just call it

625
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: fishing though, yeah, it's assumed, but we went ice fishing.

626
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: And Chip low Miller was the field goal kicker for

627
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins and uh he was from Minnesota. And

628
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: I remember going and it was unbelievably cold, like where

629
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: wanted you wanted to cry? Yes? Hunt was it worth

630
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: the experience to go through that? Where did you have

631
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: any fun or you? Well, I had to do it.

632
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: It was I was doing a story on Chiplow Miller. Yeah,

633
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: it was involuntary. Where I go, let's go out today,

634
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: Let's go out and go ice for pechnic. By the way,

635
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: ice fishing, that's a big scam because if if you've

636
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: been in the cabins, they got cable, they got heaters,

637
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: they got liquor, they got refrigerators. For some reason, they

638
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: have refrigerators there. And then you have just a hole

639
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: in the ice and then you just sit around smoke cigars.

640
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: You can park your truck on the lake, you know,

641
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Lake Minnetonka. Yes, Polly, I have. If you want to know,

642
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: we got a break. I have the coldest state in

643
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: America based off research like right now today or traditional story. Okay,

644
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: coldest state in America traditionally. Now are we taking a

645
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 1: last count? Alaska's out? Okay, because they're like they're laughing

646
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: at us. Okay, our Fairbanks affiliate, they're laughing at us.

647
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go North Dakota, Seaton, I'm gonna go Minnesota.

648
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: I'm getting text from people in Los Angeles showing me

649
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:03,720

650
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers. That is pretty cold enough for RELI,

651
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: Yes it is, Todd. I'm gonna say Wisconsin, Wisconsin. We're

Speaker 1: authorized dealership. To a couple of phone calls here before

695
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: the break, we were wondering what is the coldest state

696
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: in America? I said, Now, we took a last out

697
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: of the equation. I took North Dakota, Fritzie took Wisconsin,

698
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: and Seton took Minnesota. PAULI the answer is I was

699
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: gonna guess Maine, but that was going to be my

700
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: guests before I collect on. Here we go the coldest

701
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: state in America based off yearly average temperatures in winter.

702
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: In winter, North Dakota, Hello, Minnesota's number two, Main number three, Wisconsin, Vermont,

703
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: South Dakota, New Hampshire, Montana. Not that cold in Wyoming. Really,

704
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: Now Here's one coldest state in winter in summer where

705
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't never warms up. Wyoming is second to Alaska,

706
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: then Idaho, Maine in Oregon, but the coldest state year

707
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: round removing Alaska is North Dakota. Congratulations, Yeah, have you

708
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: been to Wyoming. I've been through Wyoming and through I've

709
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: bet a lot of people can say they've been through Wyoming,

710
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: but I don't people stop. It's like one of those

711
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: places that touring bands never go to. I went to

712
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: a rodeo once and shared in Wyoming. I was driving through.

713
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: We stopped and watched a rodeo and it's really good.

714
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: I'd like to go there. Well, I've been watching Yellowstone,

715
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: so I'm being ready to go to Montana. Get yourself

716
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: a ranch. Yeah, I've got the coldest cities in America.

717
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: What time. That's not why they called Wyoming, Like, why

718
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: would you go there? I don't want to. I've set

719
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: anybody in the lovely state of Wyoming. I was curious,

720
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: But why did you say that? Then? Because we were

721
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: talking about like going through Wyoming is supposed to actually

722
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: spending quality time there. It's kind of a place you

723
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: go through to get to where you actually go what's colder?

724
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: The response I'm getting to me, I knew where You're

725
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: a coward. Okay, thank you, Todd, Nathan and Los Angeles, Hey, Nate,

726
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Happy New Year? Dan and Dannetts?

727
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: How are you great? Nate? What's on your mind? So,

728
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: as a fan of Todd's I feel for him sometimes

729
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: when things make him look bad that are beyond dis control.

730
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: And when I saw the Mannings talking to Roger Goodell

731
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: when it was the first time they've probably ever asked

732
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: him to be on his show on their show, that

733
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: felt bad because that's beyond his control. But apparently the

734
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: Mannings have more stroke than he ever had. Oh. Absolutely,

735
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: and blame it on me, Nathan, And thanks for the

736
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: phone call. The reason why the commissioner doesn't come on

737
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: the show is me. I appreciate the sentiment though, And

738
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: you would think I would pull more weights just from

739
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: a lb s. No, you do? Yes? You do? Yes? Set?

740
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: Do you know why because of you? No? Isn't that funny? Um?

741
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: I stop worrying about it? Yeah, Paul, it's a strategy

742
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: to be quite transparent. I think commissioners of some of

743
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: these sports they want to appear to be transparent and

744
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: doing interviews with the media, but they want a setting

745
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: that might not provide questions that are tough to deal with.

746
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: And there are some shows no offense that will provide

747
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: an easier seat than others. You know, it doesn't mean

748
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: we're Mike Wallace every second, but we are a tougher seat.

749
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: But I don't want to have the commissioner on unless

750
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: I can ask questions that the audience is going to

751
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: care about. It's it's one of those where the ego

752
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: of this, Hey, we had the commissioner run, what did

753
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: he say? Nothing? Well, then I don't want him on.

754
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: I would I would rather have a guest on. Who's

755
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: going to give this audience? I mean I serve as

756
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: a conduit from the guest to the audience. That's it.

757
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: That's the role I should play. But if the commissioner

758
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: doesn't want to come on, then that's okay. I mean,

759
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: it's almost better that he doesn't want to come on.

760
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. A couple of phone calls in

761
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: here Sean and Florida. Sean's been holding a while. Sean,

762
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: thanks for holding what's on your mind? Hey, and pleasure

763
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: to talk to you. I'm wondering if you could spearhead

764
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: a campaign to get Reggie Bush is heisenback since this

765
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: whole college money thing is that's the table. Well, that's

766
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: like saying, can we get Pete Rose into the Hall

767
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: of Fame because they're gambling now in baseball. But I

768
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, Sean. You know, Reggie made the mistake,

769
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: just like Antonio Brown made a mistake. You know, when

770
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: you don't pay somebody, chances are those people might talk

771
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: to somebody and then make matters worse. Reggie earned the

772
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy on the football field, there's no doubt about that.

773
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: But with what happened and the fallout, I mean, I

774
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: feel worse for what happened to USC after that, not

775
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush, because Reggie still went on to have a

776
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: very good pro career and he's you know, in broadcasting

777
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: right now. But I don't know if one day they

778
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: give it back to him. But I have people who

779
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: will say that occasionally about Pete Rose. Hey, you can

780
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: gamble on baseball, now, Okay, Pete was in a position

781
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: where he could manipulate what was going to happen in

782
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: the game you were betting on. Right, It's like if

783
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: you go, hey, you know, the speed limit is changed

784
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: now you can go eighty on some highways. Well, I

785
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: got a ticket from eight years ago where they pulled

786
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: me over for going seventy. It doesn't work that way.

787
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: You can't go hey, it's eighty now I should be

788
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: able to get my money back. I don't know if

789
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: that's a good analogy or not, but it'll close out,

790
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: close out this second hour, all right, coming out? That

791
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: was actually a pretty good analogy. Thanks Ton. If you're

792
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: saying it is, maybe it's not that. Yeah, I don't

793
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: want you co signing on anything. Final hour coming up?
