1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program, Holding our breath that 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: we have football this afternoon. Ravens have until twelve thirty 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: Eastern to adjust their rosters. We talked to Michelle Tafoya, 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: she'll be on the sidelines for NBC this afternoon, and 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: she told us two hours ago JK. Dobbins and mark 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: Ingram didn't make the trip, so Baltimore down to their 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: third and fourth string running backs. Also, Justin Tucker, the 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: best place kicker in the NFL, is going to have 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: a different long snapper. These games are usually decided by 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: seven points or less. Twenty of the last twenty seven 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: meetings between these two decided by seven points or less. Obviously, 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: a depleted roster with the Ravens, but if it comes 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: down to a field goal, even though Tucker is a 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: future Hall of Famer and he's graded Hines Field, then 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: maybe with a long snapper that is making his debut, 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: it could come down to something as simple as that. 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: This program brought to you by the great folks at Peacock. 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: You can watch this show on Peacock all three hours. 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: Just download the app. It's free and also Peacock has 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: saved by the Bell. Streaming now exclusively on Peacock Bayside 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: is back with new students, new stories, some very familiar faces. 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: Start streaming now. Two hours in and still not sure 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: what to make of what's going to happen with Michigan's football. 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: Ohio States game this weekend against Michigan State and it's 26 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: only Wednesday. And I say it's only Wednesday because we've 27 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: seen so much happens in a very short period of time. 28 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: And before you sign off and go, they're going to 29 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: play football this weekend. It feels like Ohio State's going 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: to do their best, no matter what their roster looks like. 31 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: From what I'm told, they're going to get this game 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: in and Michigan State is the opponent. Michigan would be 33 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: the opponent next weekend. And of course Kirk curb Street 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: last night on the Playoffs Selection Show was saying that 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: maybe Michigan just waves they flag and surrenders. Here. It 36 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that Michigan is not going to maybe think 37 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: twice about playing this game, but for COVID reasons, to 38 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: be fair to Michigan, COVID reasons. From what I was 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: told last night, and this morning they might not be 40 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: able to field a competitive team. And I went back 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: to my source and said, well, even if everybody's healthy, 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: they're not going to feel a competitive team, to which 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: he said, that's true. But with COVID, how many players 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: might miss this game? Are they going to be able 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: to play their game this weekend? And then it's a 46 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: big game of Ohio State, obviously with a lotted steak 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: if they're able to play that game. We've played the 48 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Kirk Curb Street sound from last night. I don't want 49 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: to play it again. You know what The gist is 50 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: that Herbie said that maybe they're going to wave the 51 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: white flag and basically opt out, and that he was 52 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: told by some coaches that teams are purposely opting out 53 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: using COVID as an excuse. I would need some examples there. 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: I think it's a big blanket to throw over college 55 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,559 Speaker 1: football and say that. Do I think it's possible. Absolutely? 56 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: Do I think Florida State used COVID as an excuse 57 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: to not play Clemson? I don't. I think when you 58 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: listen to the medical experts from your conference, because this 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: is conference by conference by conference, not a governing body 60 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: with the NCIA. Then I will defer to those the 61 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: medical community who you hired put in place to make 62 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: those decisions. And I knew that the Big Ten they 63 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: started late. They were up against some doubters, some people 64 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: who had some serious reservations about playing football this year 65 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: and still have serious reservations about playing football. Did they 66 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: do the right thing? And we don't know that, but 67 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: Ohio State has a lot at stake here, more than 68 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: any other team right now in the country with what 69 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: they need to do. You know, Clemson and Notre Dame, 70 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: we are going to face each other, Alabama, Florida going 71 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: to face each other. Texas, A and M is on 72 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: the outside looking in. Somebody's waiting for somebody to slip up, 73 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: and then maybe you're going to get a M slipping 74 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: in there. If Florida doesn't beat Alabama, you can remove them. 75 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: If Clemson blows out Notre Dame, does Notre Dame get bounced? 76 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: If Ohio State only has five games on their resume, 77 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: does the playoff committee go We've seen enough here. They 78 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: pass the eye test. I don't know if they're going 79 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: to pass the eye test, but I do think that 80 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: the history of Ohio State football would put them in 81 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: the final four. And I know that we like to 82 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: have a meritocracy where we go, well, they earned it. Well, 83 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: Ohio State hasn't earned it. And even if they beat 84 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: Michigan State and beat Michigan that doesn't mean they've earned 85 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: it to be one of the four best teams in 86 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: college football. Do they have as much talent as anybody? Yes, 87 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: they do. But if I'm basing it off the eye test, 88 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: and I said this from the beginning with the big 89 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: t in my source said, if you're only playing five 90 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: or six games, you're going to have to pass the 91 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 1: eye test. What if you don't pass the eye test 92 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: and you still get in. I want to know what 93 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: the selection committee is basing that off of. Because if 94 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: you're going to say, well they beat Indiana, they barely 95 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: beat Indiana at home. You're gonna face Michigan State. We 96 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: don't know what kind of team Michigan State is. Michigan 97 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: we know what kind of team they are. Does that 98 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: pass the eye test? May not be fair to Ohio State, 99 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: but I don't think you can go You know, BYU 100 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: hadn't played anybody, Cincinnati hadn't played anybody, Texas A and 101 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: m hadn't played it okay, but do they pass the 102 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: eye test with the teams that they're facing. And I 103 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: think that's where the playoff committee is going to have 104 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: a I don't know if it's a tough decision, but 105 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: it might be a tough answer to talk about that decision. 106 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: If you're gonna put Ohio State in there, and if 107 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: you only play one more game and you don't play 108 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: for the Big Ten title College Football Playoff Committee, they 109 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: don't require an you know a number X number of games? Yeah, employee. 110 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: And going back to Jim Harbaugh, the four highest paid 111 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 1: college football coaches are Nick Saban at Oseron at LSU, 112 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: Dabo Sweeney, and Jim Harbaugh. All make over eight million 113 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: dollars a year. The first three have won the last 114 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: three national title games. The last guy had just lost 115 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: to an O and five Penn State team. If you 116 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: ran Michigan football, Dan, if you ran Michigan football, president 117 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: of school, whatever you want to call it, would you 118 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 1: wait a year or get rid of Jim Harball replaced 119 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh soon. I gotta know who I'm replacing him with. 120 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: Would you start that process the quiet, hire the firm 121 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: to find the guy quietly fourth party. I'm gonna guess 122 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: they've already started that. But you normally don't break up 123 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: with a girlfriend unless you have another girlfriend waiting. And 124 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: if I'm Michigan, who's my girlfriend eating? Because Jim Harball 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: is a good coach, but I think he's got that 126 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: cloud over his head here. You're going to be measured 127 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: by Ohio State, and that's really difficult to be measured by. 128 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: And he's never going to be on equal footing with 129 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: Ohio State, not anytime soon, and it's always going to be. 130 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: But Jim Harball's career at Michigan will always be no 131 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: matter how long he stays there. Yeah but yeah, but 132 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: you never beat a quality opponent. Yeah, but you never 133 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: beat Ohio State. Yeah, but you weren't even competitive against 134 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: Ohio State. And he doesn't have a quarterback. In fact, 135 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: quarterbacks don't. You don't even hear them talking about going 136 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: to Michigan to play for a former quarterback as your 137 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: head coach. And I think that if I'm Michigan, I 138 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: don't want to pay Jim eight million dollars to go away. 139 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: But if if I pay eight million and I'm bringing 140 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: in somebody who I think is going to move us 141 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: in the right direction, then yes, you know the collateral 142 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: damage is eight million dollars, then yes, I would pay that. 143 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: It's disappointing because Jim loves the school so much as 144 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Alma Mater. His dad is there on the staff with him. 145 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: This is the ideal Norman Rockwell painting here. He got 146 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: to go back home at Michigan. But it is not 147 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: going to end well there. But yeah, if I could 148 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: get somebody that I thought was going to be an 149 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: upgrade over Jim Harball, and that is saying something I 150 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: truly believe that. I think Harball is a very good coach. 151 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: He's proven that at other stops. But that this is 152 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: not going to work out well. All right, we'll get 153 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: to phone calls coming up. Ravens and Steelers. McLevin, do 154 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: we have an update? Anybody tested positive? Since we last 155 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: broached this topic, I haven't seen anything. It seems like 156 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: the big news the day was Michelle Tafoya sort of 157 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: lightheartedly saying, oh, the Ravens running backs aren't playing tonight. Yeah, 158 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: that's been taken over the internet. But other than that, 159 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: I have not seen anything. But there could be out there. Yeah, 160 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: I saw that Michelle said that in the first hour, 161 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: and some other news organizations picked up on it. Didn't 162 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: give Michelle credit, but they picked up on it. But JK. 163 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: Dobbins and mark Ingram did not make the trip. They 164 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: were cleared, I believe, but they did not make the 165 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: trip there. Yeah, club, how about an hour three pole? 166 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: Should they play today? We put will they play? An 167 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: eighty percent said yes? But I mean, is that a 168 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: do most people think they should play? Or is it 169 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: sort of fifty fifty? Well, you have to play. If 170 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: they don't play, is it a forfeit, we'll go to 171 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: week eighteen? Well, I I don't know if you can 172 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: say we're gonna have Week eighteen and do it now, 173 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: because here's the problem. What if there's another game with 174 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: Baltimore and then like at some point you're going to 175 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: have to forfeit a game because you can't how many 176 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: games can you have in week eighteen for one team 177 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: that might miss a couple of games here, and that 178 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: would be the real problem here. I think the smart 179 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: choice would be, let's have a week eighteen and you know, 180 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: reset this game for the extra weekend of the regular season. 181 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: But it's too late now. But I hope they played 182 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: the game, because if they don't, I don't know what plan. 183 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: What letter are we on e F Maybe that's the 184 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: appropriate letter F. But I hope they get the game in. 185 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: It certainly sounds like they're going to. Yeah, mclub the Steelers, 186 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: I believe, play next Monday night against the Washington football team. 187 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: Is that a handicap for the Steelers. It's kind of 188 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: close Wednesday to Monday. Yeah, it's not fair to them, 189 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: And that's what I've been saying. John Harball is saying, hey, 190 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, we're victims here, and then my NFL source said, no, 191 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: it's hypocrisy. You created this and now you feel like 192 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: you're being picked on. The Steelers are the ones have 193 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: been waiting to play since last you know, Thursday nine 194 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving and then they have to turn around and 195 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: then play this game on Monday. They should be moving 196 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: that game to Tuesday for the Steelers to help them out. 197 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: But man, you get to the point, where are you 198 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: playing checkers or chess? Here? And that's my big question. 199 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're playing and maybe part cheesy 200 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: for all I know, but it's dangerous because you forget 201 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: the rules of the game. Like, well, let me see, 202 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: we got to help out this team, and then if 203 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: we do that and then we switched over there and 204 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: then they have three forty, that's enough for them to 205 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: play and it's not fair to the Steelers. Yeah, mcclemen. 206 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm the only one in a little 207 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: bothered by the three forty star time because it feels 208 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: kind of minor league to me, Like I feel like 209 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: the NFL should have short of strong armed their way 210 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: into primetime. This feels like a Cubs game on WGN. 211 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that tree lighting ceremony better be awesome. Oh, 212 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: I can't wait, can't wait for the tree lighting ceremony. 213 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be I hope they have Lamar Jackson at 214 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: the tree lighting ceremony, you know, a distance, but you know, 215 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: out there doing something today. I want to see him 216 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: on TV. Yeah. New questions, specifically for Paul. If they 217 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: were on at the same time, which would you watch 218 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: the game or the tree lighting ceremony? Wow, I would 219 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: probably have some type of countdown clock for when the 220 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: tree is actually being lit. And but if I had 221 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: to pick one, I'm gonna go to tree lighting. I 222 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: think there's more drama. This game is gonna be I 223 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: like Robert Griffin, I want to wait, there's no drama 224 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: with a tree lighting ceremony. Lets you go, man, I 225 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: don't know there's electrical short here. Yeah, well it light. 226 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, fair point, but you know, I'm actually 227 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: a little disappointed. Our sources have told us that Michael 228 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: Boublet is not part of the NBA. Yeah, Fritzie reached 229 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: down to Michael Bubley and he's on holiday, on holiday 230 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: with his family. That's what they say is work time. Yeah, 231 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: they're on holiday. Michael Bubley, I'm gonna be lit. Me 232 00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: went on holiday to Vegas with all the swinging cats. Yeah. Maybe. Uh. 233 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: Here is a headline that should never be a headline, 234 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: and uh, of course it is because it has to 235 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: do with Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz reportedly was not thrilled 236 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: that the Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts. Wow, didn't see that 237 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: one coming. Quarterback drafting a quarterback second round draft pick. 238 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: M If you said Jalen Hurts was thrilled that they 239 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: drafted or Carson Wentz was thrilled they drafted Jalen Hurts, 240 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: Now you got a headline, but this this ain't a headline, 241 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: but man, we're gonna work at every angle Weeken not 242 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: not pleased, not thrilled that they drafted Jalen Hurts. Yes see, 243 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: is this headline today because we've exhausted the Aaron Rodgers 244 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: angle of the same exact story and not happy. Well, 245 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee as he normally 246 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: is on two days, and he talked about how he's 247 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: playing well, even though that has to surprise some people. 248 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here basically questioning how good he was in 249 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: the offseason. So that's not going away for Aaron Rodgers 250 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: with them, you know, drafting Jordan Love. So that's that 251 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: story is not over by any stretch of the imagination, 252 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: certainly in Aaron Rodgers mind. Yes, McLevin. If Carson wentzon 253 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: like Jalen Hurts in the second round, he's really not 254 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: gonna like Trey Lance in the first round next year. 255 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: That's not happening. Why are you if therefore there's that's happening. 256 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: And Tyre Dallas too, You think Dallas takes a quarterback 257 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: that high? Oh, they're both gunning for that fourth spot 258 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: right now. I looked at Tankathan and the Cowboys and 259 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles are making their moves. Why I mean Dallas. Yeah, 260 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: you would think if they could get a quarterback. Okay, 261 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: who wants a piece of that? Bet with mclovin Dallas. 262 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: Does Dallas take a quarterback in the first round? Set 263 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: the draft spot where they let ten or lower? Is 264 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: that good five or lower five or okay? So if 265 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: they have one of the top five draft picks, do 266 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys take a quarterback? Anybody want a piece of that? 267 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: As of right now, the Cowboys are in the fourth 268 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: spot at three and eight, tied with the Chargers. But 269 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: right now, with the tiebreaker, Dallas has the fourth pick. 270 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: Let's say they won two more games, They're still gonna 271 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: be in the top eleven. Does anybody want a piece 272 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: of that? I will mclovin. Dallas is not taking a 273 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: quarterback in the top five. Okay, is not taking a 274 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: quarterback in the top five? Oh man, Well, you gotta 275 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: figure that Cincinnati's gonna take the left tackle at three. 276 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing a mock draft here out of Oregon. Yeah, 277 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: to Oregon. Okay, so that means who oh man? Yeah? See, 278 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: don't you feel like Dallas is just going to take 279 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: another corner back like they had every draft for the 280 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: past fifteen years. I could see Dallas if they want 281 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: to move on from Dak and they and they get 282 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: one of these marquee quarterbacks. I understand that because you 283 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: don't want to be paying they already blew it. You know, 284 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, the great negotiator, waited way too long because 285 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: he could have gotten Dak for thirty four million dollars 286 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: probably a year, and that would be a bargain. By 287 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: the time he gets around to this, he's gonna be 288 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: paying him forty million dollars a year. Now do they go, 289 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: we don't want to take damage goods on a quarterback 290 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: coming back from an ankle surgery, and then we'll take 291 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback, Okay, I mean that would be a smart 292 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: decision for the team to make, to have a quarterback 293 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: on a rookie contract, and therefore that bloated roster that 294 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: you have, that you know, financially bloated roster, maybe you 295 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: could start carving away some of those big salaries. They're 296 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: stuck with Zeke Elliott for two more years, but you know, 297 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: I could see him, you know, if they got one 298 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: of those guys justin fields, or Trevor Lawrence, that you 299 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: do that Kyle Trask Wilson at a BYU. Trey Lance maybe, 300 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: but you gotta get somebody you're gonna put in there 301 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: who's gonna play and that you're pretty sure is going 302 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 1: to be better than Dak Prescott. And I don't know, 303 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones may not want to wait that long, but 304 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: I don't see the Eagles doing that. They're going to 305 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: have another quarterback like getting that. Their problem that Carson 306 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: Wentz is according to a defensive coach, an anonymous defensive coach, 307 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: that he's pressing like he wants to be proved that 308 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: he's great. What, I don't know what the whole Hey, 309 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: he's trying to push harder because they drafted Jalen Hurts. 310 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: He didn't need to impress anybody because of Jalen Hurts. 311 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: He needs to live up to his own reputation here. Yeah, Paul, 312 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: you know it might be interesting. Two weeks ago, Washington 313 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: Football Club had the third pick of the draft. Then 314 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: Alex Smith wins two in a row, and now they 315 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: have the eighth pick of the draft. Alex Smith may 316 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: take them out of drafting position for a top quarterback 317 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: and by default, make him the starting quarterback going the 318 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: next season. Yeah, but they I don't know what they 319 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: do with Dwayne Haskins. But if you said, like Alex 320 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: Smith is not your future. He's been an unbelievable story 321 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: this year. But yes, the better he plays, the worst, 322 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: your future is in getting one of those quarterbacks. Yeah, 323 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, club, can we set our bet a little 324 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: later in the offseason when we know how healthy Dak 325 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: Prescott's going to be, Because isn't that isn't that a 326 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: big factor? Because I'm I'm running that risk. I'm saying 327 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: Dallas doesn't take a quarterback. I don't know how healthy 328 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: Dak's going to be. If you say he's not healthy, 329 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: then I'd go, Okay, now they'll entertain taking a quarterback, right, 330 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm actually giving you a break here, Flake, they find 331 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: out that he's got another year.

We're about an hour 341 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: away from rosters being set for this game has to 342 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: be I think three hours prior to kick off and 343 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: so around twelve thirty Eastern. But we do know the 344 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: Ravens two starting running backs Ingram and Dobbins will not 345 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: be playing in this game.

Dobbins and 381 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: mark Ingram. They were both eligible to come off the 382 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: list after completing the ten day quarantine, but Michelle Tafoya 383 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: joined us in the first hour. She, of course working 384 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: for NBC with Football Night in America. As the Sider 385 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: reporters said they're not playing in the game, didn't make 386 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: the trip. Jerry Dulac covers the Steelers for the Pittsburgh 387 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: Postcazette and kind enough to join us. Jerry, thanks for 388 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: joining us. What was the reaction when you found out 389 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: that the Steelers is going to face a team probably 390 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: with their third string running back? Well, I will tell 391 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: you this, Dan and good morning that even yesterday when 392 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: they held their walkthrough with the idea that Dobbins and 393 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: mark Ingram might play, they didn't order their approach or 394 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: their plan or anything else. They have the same plan 395 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: going in for Gus Edwards excuse me and RG three 396 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: as they would for Lamar Jackson and JK. Dobbins and 397 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,360 Speaker 1: or mark Ingram, so it doesn't affect them one way 398 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: or the other. It probably benefits them that JK. Dobbins 399 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: isn't playing, But then they're very much aware of what 400 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: happened last year in the season finale when RG three 401 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: played and Gus Edwards and the Ravens still ran for 402 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: two hundred and three yards. And one thing they do 403 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: know that they want to do, or have to do, 404 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: is change their scheme how they defend the Ravens, because 405 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: in the last three games the numbers like eight hundred 406 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: and eleven yards the Rabins rushed for against the Steelers, 407 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: including that two sixty five a month ago. So that's 408 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: what they know they have to change. But the personnel 409 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: isn't isn't going to dictate to them how they are 410 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: going to defend the Rags. I had a source earlier 411 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: in the week saying that John Harbaugh was being a hypocrite, 412 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: that they created this. Now they're saying that they're being 413 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: persecuted picked on here. I'm just wondering about the Steelers 414 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: side of this, because it feels like the Steelers are 415 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: the ones who didn't do anything wrong, but they're the 416 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: ones being punished to a certain degree. How are the 417 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: Steelers reacting to this, well, other than the game being 418 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving game being canceled and some of their young 419 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: guys coming out and saying that's BS and then using 420 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: the full word and then saying it's a joke, you know, 421 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster coming out and saying, you know, you know, 422 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: if the Ravens can't control their COVID situation, that should 423 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: be on them forgetting the fact that the two weeks 424 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: earlier the Steelers had five guys on a list, including 425 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, but the timing benefited them because they could 426 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: come off on Saturday and play on Sunday. Beyond that, 427 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: I think Mike Tomlin's directive to them is as always 428 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: as just hey, look, just keep the focus, stay on 429 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: a stay on the path we're on, and I you know, 430 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: if anything, maybe they're getting a little antsy, but hey, look, 431 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: the same complaints are coming out of Pittsburgh, not necessarily 432 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: from the steam from the team and the players, but 433 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: from their fans and maybe internally there's some oh, you know, 434 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: we're getting short end of the stick. But I don't 435 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: think that that permeates the locker room. Mike Tomlin won't 436 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: allow that to happen. But yeah, I think every team 437 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: feels they're being picked on. Look at the Denver Broncos 438 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: Dan they petitioned the league every which way they could 439 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: to try and do something about that quarterback situation, and 440 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: it didn't happen. And so yeah, in Pittsburgh, they think 441 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: Baltimore is getting getting an advantage and in Baltimore they 442 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: think they're getting screwed. When was the last time you 443 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: covered a Steeler team that had this well least dramatic 444 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: Steeler team in how many years? Well, you know, it's 445 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: funny because every year it seems to come up. I 446 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: don't think there's any question then to two years ago 447 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: with the Levion Bell situation, in the Antonio Brown situation, 448 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that drama could ever be surpassed no 449 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: matter what happens. And I think because the Steelers is 450 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: such a marquee team and as you know, being in 451 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: the business, they are a team that moves the needle 452 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: and because of that, they receive a lot of attention. 453 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: It's also because they tend to have a lot of 454 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: the game's top stars. So and go back to Antonio 455 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: Brown and Levion Bell. So when those situations arise, they 456 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: get magnified, and people pay attention because it is the Steelers, 457 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: and so there always seems to be this cloud of 458 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: drama surrounding them. But let's face it, when you look 459 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: at their performance and their record, you know, Mike Thomins 460 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: never had a losing season in fourteen years. It's pretty 461 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's testament to him and to the organization 462 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: that they kind of forget their way through that and 463 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: still still manage to be successful. Are they a balanced 464 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: team or they a defensive minded team? Well, you know 465 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: the funny thing right now, Dan, Aside from the fact 466 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: that they don't run the ball very well, you know, 467 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 1: their offense is as good as it's been. I mean, 468 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: are the only team in the AFC to score twenty 469 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: four or more points in every game, even Kansas City 470 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: can't say that. Ben Roethlisberger is having arguably his best 471 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: season certainly statistically, and the run defense has actually suffered 472 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: the last three four weeks. I think they're very well 473 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: balanced team. They're a team that can score points and 474 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: to me, to me, Dan, they are the one team 475 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: in the league that is equipped to stop any of 476 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: these other offenses, including Kansas Cities. Now I'm not saying 477 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: they will, but they are equipped to do it because 478 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: you know, they have all pros at all three levels. 479 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: They can they sack the quarterback they have, they have 480 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: a larcen as secondary, they take the ball away and yeah, 481 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: they're missing Devin Bush. I thought that was a big, 482 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: big loss because I thought he was the one player 483 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: they could least afford to lose because they don't have 484 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: anybody else like them. But when you look at Kim 485 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: Hayward and Stefan two it upfront and you've got those 486 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: two edge guys Watt Dupree and then a really solid 487 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: secondary with makea Fitzpatrick. Um, you know they're they're they're 488 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: equipped to play however you want to and to you know, 489 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: bottle up the team as as as well as anybody. 490 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: You know, they can do it. When does the possibility 491 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: of an undefeated season become a legitimate topic for the 492 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: players to talk about. I think Buffalo, you know, once, 493 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: if they can get past that in a couple of weeks, 494 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, see what happens with the Ravens. Then they 495 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: have Washington and I know Washington's been scoring some points lately, 496 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: but they are four and seven, then they go to Buffalo, 497 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: and I think, excuse me, I think that will be 498 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: the key. They can be twelve and o going to Buffalo, 499 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: and if they come through that at thirteen and oz U, 500 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: then I think it becomes a very real possibility because 501 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: then it's then it's the Colts, and then it's still 502 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, then it's the season ending game. And let's 503 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: say the buy is still in place, nothing has changed, 504 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: and they get a bye week. Then what do you 505 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: do in week sixteen? Do you go for an unbeaten 506 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: season or do you back off a little bit? You know, 507 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: I've talked to a couple of former coaches around the league, 508 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: and they think it's probably a good idea if they 509 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: lose a game somewhere, I tend to agree, just to 510 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 1: get the specter and the pressure of an unbeaten season 511 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: off their back and you know, then start focusing on 512 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: the postseason. So but I think I think two or 513 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: three weeks there when they had the Buffalo it is 514 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: going to be the key. Dan, great to talk to you, Jerry, 515 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: Thanks for making time have fun today. We appreciate it. Well, Dan, 516 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: nice chatting with you. Jerry Dolak. He covers the Steelers. 517 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: For the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Michelle Tafoya first hour, who 518 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: was great, said that whether would not be an issue, 519 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: that if they had played this last night, whether it 520 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: would have been an issue. But I think the Ravens 521 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: running game will be the one issue, the only issue 522 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: for the Steelers this afternoon. Some phone calls here, Noah 523 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, Hey, No, what's on your mind today? Hey there, Dan, 524 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: first time, medium time. I just want to point out 525 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: regarding the college football selection process, you pointed out that 526 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: Texas A and M is unlikely to make it in 527 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: because of lack of viewership interest. Yeah, a few years 528 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: ago Clemson was not a marquee team, and now they've 529 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: risen to blueblood status. I was wondering, from an award 530 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: nominated broadcaster and actor like yourself, how Clemson or I'm sorry, 531 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: Texas A and M, or dere say my Wisconsin Badgers 532 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,719 Speaker 1: could rise to become a marquee team. Well, I think 533 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: you have to have. You know, when Johnny Monzel was 534 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,479 Speaker 1: there a Texas A and M, we wanted to see him. 535 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: Texas A and M doesn't have that boy. I want 536 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: to see that guy. Wisconsin doesn't have Jonathan Taylor. You 537 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: don't have that guy, and it doesn't always come down 538 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: to it, but I do think it helps with if 539 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: you have like Florida has Kyle Trask. Now they're good, 540 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: but I got a guy who might win the Heisman 541 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: Trophy here. And go back to Clemson. A couple of 542 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: years ago, we didn't know the weapons Clemson had. In 543 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: fairness to Clemson, we realized the talent that they had. 544 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: We didn't know if it was on the same level 545 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: as an LSU or an Alabama or some of these 546 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 1: ear Ohio State, but then we quickly realized it was. 547 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: But Clemson, you know, with Trevor Lawrence, Alabama has marquee guys. 548 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: You got Nick Saban. You throw in there a lot 549 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: of this. When you think of college athletics, it comes 550 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: down to coaches. It's weird. College basketball is about coaches 551 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: and it's not about players. You tune in. It's Tom 552 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: Izzo in Michigan State versus Mike Hushovsky and Duke where 553 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: they're not playing. But you can sell that. Rick Pattino, 554 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: John Calipari, Bill's self like you can. That's how you 555 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: sell it. College football. It was Urban Meyer, it was 556 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier, it was Nick Saban, now it's Dabo Sweeney. 557 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: That goes a long way. It resonates with viewers for 558 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: some reason. I want to know how good the football 559 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: team is. But we assume if the coach is great, 560 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: his team is going to be great. But Dabo Sweeney 561 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: and Clemson. If Herban Meyer was still at Ohio State, 562 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, we might look at Ohio State differently than 563 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: Ryan Day. Yeah, Paully, you know Texas Amona has a 564 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: good season, but in early October they got housed by 565 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: Alabama on national TV, and that really everyone pumped the brakes. 566 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: That quarterback is a guy named Kellen Mond who is 567 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: can be very good, but not consistently enough. And so 568 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks they missed games against Tennessee 569 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: Old miss Yeah, the LSU game, which would have been 570 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: a primetime big game was not relevant anymore because LSU's 571 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: way down. So that's that's what kind of hurt them 572 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: this season. And I have nothing against a m getting 573 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: in there. I'm just telling you what the truth is, 574 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: what the reality is. I don't have a rooting interest 575 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: in this, couldn't care less, but I just want to 576 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: be fair to the system and what they see. You 577 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: know how, what you're factoring in, and make no mistake 578 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: about it, it's a TV show. All else fails. Who's 579 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: got a bigger fan base? I always feel that that 580 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: is the deciding factor. If you you have two teams, 581 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: if you said Ohio State and A and M. Man, 582 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: we can't really just say Ohio State A M against 583 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Notre Dame. I mean that's just logic that 584 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: that I think is attached to this. Uh, Kyle and 585 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: Ohio Hi, Kyle, Hey, Dan, great show. Um, I just 586 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: I agree on the college football playoffs that you know, 587 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: Higo State. I'll listen to the A and M fans, 588 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: Florida fans on you know, if they deserve in. I 589 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: will not listen to Cincinnati fans. I know it was 590 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: a year ago, twenty nineteen. Last summer, all we listened 591 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: to was how they're going to come into Columbus and 592 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: give a high state all they want. And they didn't 593 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: cross the fifty forty two to nothing. Again, two different 594 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: I get it, somewhat, two different teams, but not forty 595 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: two point difference. Yeah, and I understand that, Kyle, I 596 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: get it. It's just we don't allow any wiggle room 597 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: for a great story. Thanks for the phone call. When 598 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: you think about college football, how does the underdog? The 599 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: underdog gets a weekend Appellation State goes into Michigan and 600 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: wins in the Big House, and we go, oh myga. 601 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: North Dakota State takes on a big twelve, Big ten 602 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: school and we go, oh myga. And that's it. That's 603 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: their moment. Their march madness takes place in September or 604 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: October or November. And that's part of the problem I 605 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: have with college football, that we don't entertain the possibility 606 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: of somebody doing something truly unique. They got a chance, 607 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: we don't even give them a chance anymore. Coastal Carolina 608 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: against Alabama, maybe they lose fifty to nothing. Maybe, But 609 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: if I said to Coastal Carolina, I'm gonna give you 610 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: a chance to play Alabama and you might lose fifty 611 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: to nothing, Coastal Carolina is going to play Alabama Liberty. 612 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 1: They can't beat anybody, probably not in the top four 613 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: BYU Cincinnati. I mean, we can run down the list 614 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 1: every year. Remember Boise State, Oh, Boise State can't beat 615 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: any of the big guys, all right, they're facing Okloma 616 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: and the festival, and look what happened. All you want 617 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: is a chance. And that's why bowl games are great, 618 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: because bowl games give you an opportunity to show, hey, 619 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: we can compete with these guys. And that's all you 620 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: want as an athlete. Give me a chance. College football 621 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: for the playoffs doesn't give you a chance. With a 622 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: bowl game, they give you a chance. That's your consolation prize. 623 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: More phone calls coming up, and Kevin Durant gets salty 624 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: with the media.

Sources tell 631 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: the Athletic all right, I'm fine with that, you know, 632 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: of all the teams, I just want to see what 633 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: the nets look like. But it feels like after a 634 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: month or so, just with Kyrie Kevin Durant. Steve Nash 635 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: is the head coach do they make any changes here? 636 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: Do they go after James Harden? If I'm the Rockets, 637 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: I'm not trading James Harden. He may want to leave 638 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: trading you. I want to get two teams involved. If 639 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: you say Brooklyn and Golden State is interested in James Harden, 640 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: now we can talk about trading James Harden, but I'm 641 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: not going to send him to where he wants to go. 642 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: And if Golden State is interested in all right, well listen. 643 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: But same with Russell Westbrook. You guys wanted it. You 644 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: guys live in this, and then until we get something 645 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: that benefits us, we're not going to do something to 646 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: benefit you. Here is Kevin Durant with the media about 647 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: the possibility of the Nets bringing in James Harden. Is 648 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: there anything that you could share with us about that conversation? 649 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: And then you relay that James wants to play with 650 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: the Nets to Sean as soon as you hear something 651 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: like that, I don't know where you're making these stories 652 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: up that me and James talk about any of this 653 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: set of workout Like, I don't know where that came from. 654 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: And James is a friend of mine, But I let 655 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: the front office hand to all of that stuff. I 656 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 1: was just so focused on working out. I heard all 657 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 1: the noise and I heard that, you know, James potentially 658 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: wanted to come to the nest. But yeah, anybody can 659 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: make up stories. Anybody can write a story and it 660 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: and it gets some traction, alrighty. So he heard that 661 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: James might be interested, But as a friend and a 662 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: former teammate, you wouldn't reach out and just say, hey, 663 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm hearing all this noise. Is there anything to it? Like, 664 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't that just seem normal? Hey, James, just checking in 665 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: with you, like, tell me what's going on. If I 666 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: can help it anyway, you know, I will. Is this 667 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: where you want to come? Yeah? See, yeah, dude, you 668 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: see in any of this? Hey, did you reach out 669 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: to the nets or no? Oh okay, that'd be pretty 670 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: cool though, Yeah nothing, yeah, okay, Oh it's media making 671 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: it up again, all right? So I figured, oh, so 672 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: you don't want to come play with us, then, oh okay, 673 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: well then forget it. Remember the media when the media 674 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: made that up about Kyrie and me when we got 675 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 1: together at the All Star Game and we were huddling 676 00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: together and people said, you guys are gonna go you're 677 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: going to play together next year. All that's right. The 678 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: media was right on that one, but not this time around. 679 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: All right, Katie, how much patience does the New York 680 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: media have with the Brooklyn Nets this year? That's what 681 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: I want to know. I get this feeling you're gonna 682 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: have a Katie Kyrie news boycott at some point during 683 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: the season.

But I thought he was great. 715 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 1: I loved it. I think he thought he was in Hawaii. 716 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: I know, I know when they said you get to 717 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: have the Maui Invitational, and he's like, awesome, it's gonna 718 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: be in North Carolina.

Right on? Cue, 721 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: Hey Ryan, Hello to chat Row. Okay, I've been on 722 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: hold for quite a while, so I'm gonna have to 723 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: take a left turn because I have a limerick for 724 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: Fritzie limerick from the start of the show. Okay, wait 725 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 1: a minute, hold on, Todd, do you want to do 726 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: your limerick again? Okay, do this and then Ryan can 727 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: do his a third rescheduled game. No way, it's a pandemic. 728 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: So what can you say? Wednesday afternoon at Hines Just 729 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: a sign of the times. But are we sure that 730 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: they'll even play? You know, as an irishman, I'm uh, 731 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in your time. Why is that? Yeah? I mean, 732 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, we invented the limerick and you give you 733 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: a passing grade. I know, a passing grade. But then 734 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: the more I think about it, it really changed it 735 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: to a failure. Why don't we hear it? Ryan? Okay, Ryan, 736 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: who's not Irish? All right? All right? No, Well, I 737 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: am half irish, but I want a grade from you, 738 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: dank and just like Fritzie, your judgment will make or 739 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: break my day. Okay, here we go. Posifinity for limericks 740 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: is admirable, but to use them as content for the 741 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,439 Speaker 1: show is questionable. Just like with Green Day. Please stay 742 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: in your lane, Hooly. May think you're passing grade is debatable. 743 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Ryan, I'm going to give you 744 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,439 Speaker 1: a passing grade on that. It felt like you gave 745 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: that a little more thought. And you're winking at the 746 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: day Lane, Ryan. That's all right, and I love Ryan. 747 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: I would have got crushed for that day. Lane.
