Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our two on
Speaker 1: this Wednesday, Dan and the Dan x dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Glad to have you on board. Spend a lot of
Speaker 1: time with Peter King last hour, and we talked about
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson situation in Seattle, which is not a
Speaker 1: good situation right now. You also have the Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: situation in Philadelphia. That's a mess. And then you have
Speaker 1: all quiet on the Deshaun Watson front at least four now,
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three d P show email address DP
Speaker 1: at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show.
Speaker 1: Why was Dak Prescott left down of the Cowboys hype video? Yes,
Speaker 1: that's reason enough to have Tim Callowshaw on from the
Speaker 1: Dallas Morning News. He'll join us coming up at about
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, and Doc Rivers, the seventy six ers head coach,
Speaker 1: will stop by as well. Mcloven. Do you have a
Speaker 1: poll question? We sure do not, but I have a
Speaker 1: couple questions. Okay, if you're a quarterback, and I can
Speaker 1: give you one thing out of these three which you
Speaker 1: want a great receiver, a great oh aneman, or a
Speaker 1: great offensive coordinator, like a Kyle Shanahan type. What's the
Speaker 1: most important thing for a quarterback? I would say an
Speaker 1: offensive line. And I think I remember asking Steve Young
Speaker 1: about this. I said, would you rather have an all
Speaker 1: pro wide receiver an all pro offensive lineman? He didn't hesitate,
Speaker 1: He said offensive lineman. If a quarterback is able to
Speaker 1: stand up, not be pressure, be hit, chances are he
Speaker 1: could probably find a receiver. He could make a receiver better.
Speaker 1: But if you're running around like Patrick Mahomes did on
Speaker 1: Sunday night, I don't care how good you are or
Speaker 1: how good your receivers are. It doesn't matter what other
Speaker 1: poll question options do we have. Okay, let's we're in
Speaker 1: talk radio. I'm going to throw this out here first
Speaker 1: time long time. If I'm the Jets and I have
Speaker 1: that number two pick and I want to get rid
Speaker 1: of it, do I would I rather have Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: which probably take five picks, or Russell Wilson for three picks?
Speaker 1: Would I call the Seattle I would call it. Would
Speaker 1: you give up that number two or would you rather
Speaker 1: have the number two in the cap security? Well, I
Speaker 1: gotta be ready to win. Now that that's where it's
Speaker 1: It's delicate when you know Russell's ready to win now.
Speaker 1: If he didn't like situation in Seattle, you're not gonna
Speaker 1: like it with the Jets, not anytime soon. Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: wanted to win now. Well, the Rams are ready to
Speaker 1: win now. Tom Brady wanted to win now. That's why
Speaker 1: he wanted to go to San Francisco. They didn't want him.
Speaker 1: The Bears, the Chargers not ready to win now. And
Speaker 1: I think he saw with Tampa a team that is
Speaker 1: playoff caliber, with a great defense, with some offensive weapons,
Speaker 1: and the one thing that was missing was the quarterback
Speaker 1: and he was able to provide that and they ended
Speaker 1: up winning a Super Bowl. But I think you're starting
Speaker 1: to see player empowerment in the NFL, and we see
Speaker 1: it in basketball where you can have James Harden say hi,
Speaker 1: I want out all right, Kde and Kyrie getting together
Speaker 1: with the Nets. Okay, Lebron with what he did in
Speaker 1: clear Even or Miami or with the Lakers. This is
Speaker 1: what you're getting. You're getting player empowerment here. Also, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot was made of Russell Wilson's appearance on the
Speaker 1: program yesterday and speaking to a source about this, a
Speaker 1: source told me that the Seahawks management is not happy
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson and his camp for taking this to
Speaker 1: the media. And look, I understand that, but you know,
Speaker 1: Russ doesn't do this. It's really really rare if he
Speaker 1: says anything in a negative way about anybody. He's been
Speaker 1: quiet for a decade. But if they're not able to
Speaker 1: create and I think what Russell wanted to create here
Speaker 1: is a sense of urgency, just like Aaron Rodgers did
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. He's creating a sense of urgency. Take
Speaker 1: advantage of what you have with me right now, and
Speaker 1: I think in according to my source, you know, if
Speaker 1: this doesn't happen, then you wonder if this is going
Speaker 1: to be able to continue. You wonder if Russ and
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are going to be able to coexist, so
Speaker 1: a sense of urgency and if they don't act on that.
Speaker 1: But right now, the current situation is not sustainable. That's
Speaker 1: what I was told. Management not happy Russ got their attention. Now.
Speaker 1: The national media is all in on this as well. Sure,
Speaker 1: the local media is going crazy on this as well.
Speaker 1: I mean, just like Philadelphia with Carson Wentz. You know,
Speaker 1: the local media, they're just trying to figure out exactly
Speaker 1: what is going on here, and it's really difficult. This
Speaker 1: week's all about celebrating Brady's legacy. Is seventh Super Bowl
Speaker 1: puts him in a class by himself. But we might
Speaker 1: also appreciate the losing quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. And as strange
Speaker 1: as this is going to say, but I truly feel
Speaker 1: this way after rewatching this Super Bowl, that's as impressed
Speaker 1: as I've ever been with Patrick Mahomes, and it was
Speaker 1: in a losing effort. He's gonna undergo surgery today on
Speaker 1: his turf toe. But what he did just to be
Speaker 1: able to compete, So he's got a toe that needs
Speaker 1: to have surgery. And he ran around over four hundred
Speaker 1: yards against that Tampa defense. One play his body was
Speaker 1: parallel to the ground, still managed to throw the ball
Speaker 1: thirty yards downfield, hit the receiver in the hands, and
Speaker 1: he's a class act. After the game, you lose like that,
Speaker 1: you get humbled. And he sought out Tom Brady. And
Speaker 1: as much as we lauded Tom Brady for being the greatest,
Speaker 1: when Tom loses the Super Bowl, Tom does not go
Speaker 1: over and shake the opposing team's quarterbacks hands. He doesn't
Speaker 1: he hasn't. Patrick Mahomes made sure that he found Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: But I hope he comes back. I hope he's better
Speaker 1: than ever and hopefully recovered by training camp and ready
Speaker 1: to wall us again. But going back and watching some
Speaker 1: of those throws, there's no other quarterback. There's no other
Speaker 1: quarterback who can do what he did. Yes, mclovin, but
Speaker 1: they need two left tackles. And you know, I looked
Speaker 1: around so to twenty eight other teams. Where are all
Speaker 1: these offensive linemens. I don't know. If you get two
Speaker 1: left tackles, I'd like to have a left and a
Speaker 1: right tackle. They should. They could have used two left tackles, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they could have. They could have. Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're developing tackles offensive linemen in college. I think
Speaker 1: that's part of the problem. And you have some guys
Speaker 1: who have gone high. You know, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Speaker 1: use their first round pick on a tackle. Jets used
Speaker 1: their first round pick on a tackle. You know, these
Speaker 1: teams are looking for these guys, but it's not an
Speaker 1: exact science in finding that. You would think, well, that
Speaker 1: guy is six five, three hundred and he played for
Speaker 1: Alabama he's got to be great. It doesn't always work
Speaker 1: that way. And then you have other teams like the
Speaker 1: Patriots aren't going to spend a first round pick on
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman, but they have a system with their
Speaker 1: offensive lineman that it works. You know, the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: have used first round picks on their offensive lineman, you know,
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith and Zack Martin, and it worked until they
Speaker 1: got injured. But trying to find these offensive linemen is
Speaker 1: not as easy as you think. Like Quintin Nilson, and
Speaker 1: I'll go back to what my source told me prior
Speaker 1: to the draft that he won't go number one. But
Speaker 1: Quentin Nilson, according to my source, who is a scout,
Speaker 1: said he's the best player in the draft, and he
Speaker 1: said he'll be a Hall of famer. The Colts got him.
Speaker 1: He's great and he's probably going to go to the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. But you know, there's nothing glammerous about
Speaker 1: taking offensive lineman. We don't never talk about lineman until
Speaker 1: they don't do something, or they get called for holding,
Speaker 1: or they're allowing somebody to rush by them like Von
Speaker 1: Miller did or Shack Barrett. By the way, Shack Barrett,
Speaker 1: I think is going to join us on the program tomorrow,
Speaker 1: all right, age seven seven three D P show Email
Speaker 1: address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at
Speaker 1: DP show. So we talked a lot about Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I gave you my thoughts when I was doing the
Speaker 1: interview with him. When I'm thinking because he opened the
Speaker 1: door and there was a moment and I could see
Speaker 1: with the Danetts that they realized that Russell Wilson was
Speaker 1: actually willing to let me in because he brought up
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and he looked miserable at the super Bowl
Speaker 1: because he's thinking, why am I not out there? Like
Speaker 1: we're not even getting close to the super Bowl again?
Speaker 1: And Tom Brady goes to Tampa during a pandemic, brings
Speaker 1: in Gronk out of retirement. Nobody wanted Antonio Brown, Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournette got you know, released by Jacksonville, and they won
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, and Russ has got to be going,
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me, like, why don't I have
Speaker 1: any say in personnel decisions? Now, I'm not big on
Speaker 1: quarterbacks having a say in personnel decisions, certainly not to
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson at that age. But if you give that
Speaker 1: to him, then you have to listen to him. But
Speaker 1: that era is over. I think of the old school. Hey,
Speaker 1: you just play, you shut up and play, and we
Speaker 1: do all the other things. You know, what happened with
Speaker 1: Brady in New England. Brady probably could have helped Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick a little bit more. Now. I had a source say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, you keep saying that Belichick didn't try to
Speaker 1: give Tom weapons. You know nikkil Harry, Yeah, he drafted him,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't any good. I mean, Sony Michelle, he's
Speaker 1: a good running back. But just because you take an
Speaker 1: offensive weapon in the first round doesn't mean they're going
Speaker 1: to work out. And I think that that's why Tom said, hey,
Speaker 1: let me control a little bit of this. I get Gronk,
Speaker 1: I get a B and I get Leonard Fournette. You
Speaker 1: already got Godwin, you got Bread, you got Mike Evans.
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm pretty good. Shore up the offensive line. Okay,
Speaker 1: this could be fun. And I think that's what Russell
Speaker 1: was thinking about right now. I think to Shaun Watson
Speaker 1: is thinking about that right now. And I see quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that are going to be asking for more power, They're
Speaker 1: going to want to have more involvement here. We've seen
Speaker 1: it with the NBA, and it's going to happen in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah. Point, And Tampa could keep rolling on
Speaker 1: this because Aaron seems so likable. He does not seem
Speaker 1: like a drill sergeant. He lets his players do interviews
Speaker 1: and so forth. Tom Brady may have no problem getting
Speaker 1: a couple more free agents this offseason. But that's why
Speaker 1: players wanted to play in New England, not for Belichick.
Speaker 1: They wanted to play with Brady because Brady gave them
Speaker 1: the opportunity to play for a Super Bowl. But you
Speaker 1: have to sacrifice to go to New England. Players talked
Speaker 1: about it, not about money. I don't get to be
Speaker 1: a normal person. I don't get to talk to the media.
Speaker 1: I don't get to do what everybody else does. Like
Speaker 1: Tampa's not a sacrifice, And you're gonna find players who
Speaker 1: are gonna want to play for Tampa because Tom Brady
Speaker 1: is still there. Yeah see, I like that. Adrian Peterson's like,
Speaker 1: hand up, I'm available, Tommy, So let me know. Just
Speaker 1: picking up the phone, babe, and I'll be down there house.
Speaker 1: I'm available. Let's go. I hope they lose Leonard Fournette,
Speaker 1: who knows you get Adrian Peterson, come on down. Sure,
Speaker 1: why not? By the way, the gift that keeps on
Speaker 1: giving Kyrie Irving, they did it again. Oh I love
Speaker 1: the O Woe is Me the Brooklyn Nets, but they
Speaker 1: lost again, and Kyrie Irving had this to say about
Speaker 1: the league and the officials. We are the team that
Speaker 1: the NBA put the most games on. We're the team
Speaker 1: that gets someone taken out during COVID during the games.
Speaker 1: We're the team that has to deal with the We're
Speaker 1: the team that is literally battling against so many odds
Speaker 1: that at this point it's not even a reason to
Speaker 1: continue to comment on them. They are what they are,
Speaker 1: and as a warrior that I am, and that the
Speaker 1: energy that I have alongside my teammates, we just have
Speaker 1: to turn that corner. And we haven't done it yet,
Speaker 1: but we will. And I'm telling you, the league's gonna
Speaker 1: be unnoticed when now, oh woe is Me? And then
Speaker 1: he had this to say about the actual play of
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. I don't think that we go out
Speaker 1: every single day of our lives and sacrifice the time
Speaker 1: in order to be average at anything. And we look
Speaker 1: very average, you know, And we have the talent that
Speaker 1: we should be dominating. You know, we have the experience
Speaker 1: in terms of some of our guys that have been
Speaker 1: through certain things circumstances to be able to battle through,
Speaker 1: and we're dealing with a lot of the reality that
Speaker 1: we're putting this together on the fly. I don't know
Speaker 1: who he's talking about when he says we Chemo, Sab,
Speaker 1: you're talking about you, yourself, others? And is it a
Speaker 1: negative to be on national TV? What if they weren't
Speaker 1: on national TV? Then we would hear the opposite, Hey,
Speaker 1: aren't we good enough for national TV? The NBA doesn't
Speaker 1: want to showcase us, you know, they want to discourage
Speaker 1: player and power mount here. Oh Kyrie, thank you? Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: that's that's fascinating the refs, I mean, the best thing
Speaker 1: for the NBA would be for the Brooklyn Nets to
Speaker 1: be in the finals. Three superstars in the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: If anyone was leaning towards what the NBA wants, it
Speaker 1: would be for the Nets to be in the NBA
Speaker 1: Finals against the Lakers, Right, isn't that the dream scenario? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: So if I'm the NBA, the last thing I'm doing
Speaker 1: is asking the refs to be tighter on them or
Speaker 1: putting them in bad TV situations. How about you play defense? Easy? Easy? Okay,
Speaker 1: my bad, my bad. You can take them a couple
Speaker 1: of local games without defense. Yeah, that's means spirited. I
Speaker 1: can't believe you criticized us and you said we should
Speaker 1: play defense. I will never I will never ask the
Speaker 1: nets to play defense. I hope they don't play any
Speaker 1: defense this entire year. And you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get my wish. I do think I could get maybe
Speaker 1: ten or twelve points against him. I do well. I
Speaker 1: mean it's basically you just be shooting jump shots. No
Speaker 1: one's covering you, and you can make jumpers. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: can hit a jumper. Yeah, leave me alone. I can
Speaker 1: hit a jumper. You'd be a perfect net. You would
Speaker 1: not even run down on you. Yeah. Hey, I'm your guy.
Speaker 1: What do you do well? I can shoot? Can you?
Speaker 1: I hope you don't play defense? Nope. Yeah, come on in,
Speaker 1: and I'm a good locker room guy. Yeah. I'll do
Speaker 1: the media. I'll ask the questions and answer the question.
Speaker 1: You could also do the PA announcements. They could cut
Speaker 1: costs and a guard out of Duke where you spend
Speaker 1: eight games there, Okayrie Irvan, this guy travels all the time.
Speaker 1: James Harden, this guy has a burner account or two.
Speaker 1: Say hello to Kevin Ryan. Did the public address announcer
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl bother you at all? He was
Speaker 1: extra He put put it on extra thick. Would it
Speaker 1: be fair to say, I've heard announcers at strip clubs
Speaker 1: over a nunci eight, But he really really over like
Speaker 1: he would take a one syllable word and make it
Speaker 1: three syllables. I don't know how he did it, but
Speaker 1: he did it, but it was it was. It was
Speaker 1: a magnanimous voice that he had there here to sing
Speaker 1: the national anthem, Eric urge, sure urge. By the way,
Speaker 1: I loved her. I thought her was great. I thought
Speaker 1: that she uh playing her guitar. I thought she sounded great.
Speaker 1: The anthem not so much, but I thought her was
Speaker 1: was really good. There. I don't know why bringing that
Speaker 1: up now, but I am just bringing that up now.
Speaker 1: All right, So we have our poll question, and we
Speaker 1: got Tim Kellishawn coming up, and oh I was going
Speaker 1: to play this with Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice, the Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer, of course, was asked whether or not Tom
Speaker 1: Brady is the goat. I don't have seven Super Bowl rings,
Speaker 1: but I think I played in an era where football
Speaker 1: was more of a contact sport. You're not seeing a
Speaker 1: lot of that now. You know, players are protected, but
Speaker 1: you know it's kind of hard to say when when
Speaker 1: you got seven rings, you know, are you doing something right?
Speaker 1: So I think with Brady, uh, you know, he still
Speaker 1: wants to play. He said something about playing to he's
Speaker 1: forty five. I think he can do it now in
Speaker 1: this league because clearer star so much more protected. So yeah,
Speaker 1: he can have that status. I've never wanted that status anyhow,
Speaker 1: he didn't want it, all right, Well, let's courtesy at
Speaker 1: ninety five point seven the game in the Bay Area.
Speaker 1: But I was wondering how many how many Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame careers are in the career of Jerry Rice, Because
Speaker 1: you can make a case that Jerry Rice is a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer three times over. Tom Brady is a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer two times over. You can start with
Speaker 1: that window of the first what six or seven years,
Speaker 1: and then you could take the last six or seven
Speaker 1: years and he's a Hall of Famer. Jerry Rice might
Speaker 1: be a three time Hall of Famer in his career.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: can say that about anybody else. Yeah, point yeah, Okay.
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice's career from age let's say, twenty three to
Speaker 1: thirty twenty series, thirty five times he was first team
Speaker 1: All Pro. Okay, that's you're already in. Let's say retired
Speaker 1: at thirty. From age thirty to forty five times first
Speaker 1: team All Pro, eight time Pro bowler. His stats, if
Speaker 1: you cut his stats in half, Jerry Rice's stats, he
Speaker 1: would have seven eighty catches on one hundred touchdowns. That's
Speaker 1: half his He'd be probably first ballot with seven hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty catches and one hundred touchdowns. But Brady is
Speaker 1: a two time Hall of Famer, easy right, If you
Speaker 1: took between before two thousand and eight, Bradys in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame his first six years from thirty seven on,
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer. Yes, mcglennan. I think it's
Speaker 1: three because the non Super Bowl period is his best
Speaker 1: years statistically. Yeah, twenty eight to thirty six, he peaks.
Speaker 1: So isn't that Hall of Fame? Like? It's way better
Speaker 1: than Stafford him. We had fifty tds in a season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just wondering about that of you know that
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer different parts of his career.
Speaker 1: And the only other person you could say that about
Speaker 1: is probably Jerry Rice because of the longevity. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: you could take away. Let's say, um, Tom, he stopped
Speaker 1: playing football after the age twenty seven. At twenty seven,
Speaker 1: he had three rings, So he's going to the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, no problem. Yeah, if you've removed if he
Speaker 1: let's say, stop playing football at age twenty eight and
Speaker 1: picked it back up at thirty seven. From age thirty
Speaker 1: seven to forty three, he's got four ranks, so he
Speaker 1: got a skip the peak of his career and still
Speaker 1: got two first ballots. All right, let me take a break.
Speaker 1: We got to find out did the Cowboys do it
Speaker 1: on purpose? The mystery hype video? Why wasn't Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: in the hype video? And nobody knows more about the
Speaker 1: Cowboys hype video than Tim Callishaw, who joins us next.
Speaker 1: Just coming up on twenty one after the hour here
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show. Quality sleep more important than ever.
Speaker 1: We balanced life and health in twenty twenty one. And
Speaker 1: not only is it a natural immunity, booster, but also
Speaker 1: helps with energy and recovery. Sleepers who routinely used their
Speaker 1: Sleep number three sixty smart bed they get almost one
Speaker 1: hundred hours more proven quality sleep per year. They the
Speaker 1: science behind this, but you have since last March with
Speaker 1: the pandemic SLEEPMQE sleepers gained an average of fifty three
Speaker 1: hours of more RESTful sleep. By the way, did you
Speaker 1: know ages fifty five to sixty four get the least
Speaker 1: amount of sleep? Women go to bed fourteen minutes earlier
Speaker 1: than men do and wake up eighteen minutes later. That
Speaker 1: sleep numbers gone all of these statues, Now that's not fair. Well,
Speaker 1: but if they know that my wife knows I'm there,
Speaker 1: then she's going in fourteen minutes earlier, and why would
Speaker 1: she want to get out of bed? Proven qualities sleep
Speaker 1: at them as stupid to say game changing Sleep save
Speaker 1: now fifty percent on the Sleep number three sixty Limited
Speaker 1: edition smart bed plus special financing and all smart beds

Speaker 1: once again. Following up with the Russell Wilson interview, a
Speaker 1: source close to this situation just told me that the
Speaker 1: Seahawks management not happy with Russell and his camp for
Speaker 1: taking this to the media, but this was their plan.
Speaker 1: But the source also said that, you know what, there's
Speaker 1: frustration here and Russ was creating some urgency and if
Speaker 1: he doesn't do that, you know, the marriage in Seattle
Speaker 1: could come to an end. The current situation is not sustainable.
Speaker 1: That's according to a source close to the situation. All Right,
Speaker 1: Tim Callillshaw Dallas morning news columnist and star of ESPNS
Speaker 1: Around the Horn and a guy who does a great
Speaker 1: job in breaking down hype videos. That's part of us.
Speaker 1: That's a side job that he has. And Tim kind
Speaker 1: enough to join us from his busy day to let
Speaker 1: us know why Dak Prescott was not included in the
Speaker 1: hype video with the Cowboys. Man, this is this is
Speaker 1: the story of the year. I would think that that
Speaker 1: didn't happen, you know, I don't know it certainly doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like it could happen by accident. Did we forget somebody?
Speaker 1: We got ceedee lamb, we got this guy, we got that,
Speaker 1: We got to Marcus Lawrence. Um. So the fact that
Speaker 1: it couldn't happen by accident tells you that it's a
Speaker 1: little very subtle shot from the Cowboys. They don't they
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of ammunition in their in their quiver.
Speaker 1: Uh so that this is their You know, we're a
Speaker 1: team here, We're not all about one player. And I
Speaker 1: don't think it will amount to anything. But it just
Speaker 1: seems a little petty on their part. But if you're
Speaker 1: saying that, Tim, then Jerry Jones or his son and
Speaker 1: son Stephen Jones had to know about this. What did
Speaker 1: they know? And when they know? Um, you would think,
Speaker 1: but what's this accomplish? No, No, it doesn't accomplish anything.
Speaker 1: It gets people talking about it and against Cowboy fans stared,
Speaker 1: oh they're really not going to sign Dak Oh what
Speaker 1: a be a different quarterback? Which you know, that just
Speaker 1: makes them one of about twenty two teams who don't
Speaker 1: know who their quarterback is, thanks largely to you in
Speaker 1: twenty second was added yesterday we thought Russell Wilson was fine,
Speaker 1: the man of the year at all, and now we
Speaker 1: planned out he's got a camp and his camp doesn't
Speaker 1: like the way to go. It feels like this Dak
Speaker 1: press cut. And you know how it works in the media,
Speaker 1: because the cowboys get clicks. Then we're always talking about
Speaker 1: cowboys or Aaron Rodgers or Baker Mayfield. It's same stories
Speaker 1: over and over and over. If Dak signs the franchise tag,
Speaker 1: then it steals his story because they didn't get a
Speaker 1: long term deal. Or if he signs a long term deal,
Speaker 1: then why didn't they do a franchise tag. This is like,
Speaker 1: this story is not going to no matter what happens
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott, whether it's a short term or long
Speaker 1: term deal. I think if it's a long term deal,
Speaker 1: that goes away a little. If it's if it's a
Speaker 1: franchise deal, no, no question. That's thirty seven million. That's
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the cap roughly, we don't know the
Speaker 1: cap figure. That's way too much money for one player.
Speaker 1: And so they're in that same kind of dish that
Speaker 1: they dug themselves last year when they wouldn't give him
Speaker 1: a four year deal. Which still makes no sense to anybody.
Speaker 1: I know, they got a line in the sand. We
Speaker 1: didn't know the hat who knew they out the line
Speaker 1: about a four year deal. But they could have gotten
Speaker 1: a bargain if they did this when they originally started,
Speaker 1: right too. A long time ago, Yes, a long time ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember his contract. Realistically, they could they could have
Speaker 1: redone him. They should have redone him before Zeke, and
Speaker 1: that seems like ages ago they did. That's a year
Speaker 1: and a half ago they did Zeke. So yeah, Now,
Speaker 1: now the one question I would pose is, you know,
Speaker 1: everything with him has been compared to Wentzon Golf from
Speaker 1: the same draft class. Those two teams didn't turn out
Speaker 1: to be happy with those second contracts they did with
Speaker 1: those players. How much do the Cowboys need to pay
Speaker 1: attention to that? Not that they're the same player, but
Speaker 1: there's a lot of fluctuation in those three because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of second contracts teams get into and they're like, man,
Speaker 1: including Z's by the way, it's like, why do we
Speaker 1: do that? That's that's too much money. Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I was a vocal critic of signing up Zeke Elliott
Speaker 1: to it a second contract there. But you know, I'm
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out, is there any chance the
Speaker 1: Cowboys move on from Dak Prescott. I always have to
Speaker 1: say there's a chance. With Jerry Jones, there's always a chance.
Speaker 1: I would, I would. I think it's very limited, even
Speaker 1: though there's some options out there and you could go say, hey,
Speaker 1: we could go do a deal and just move on
Speaker 1: and have more money to spend elsewhere, because we saw
Speaker 1: last year this team has a lot of needs. There's
Speaker 1: a reason they have the tenth pick, and it's not
Speaker 1: just Dak's injury. But that chance is less than ten percent.
Speaker 1: I think Dak is your quarterback this year. Yeah, has
Speaker 1: anybody heard from Dak? Not really. He had a second
Speaker 1: surgery that's been reported. That's never great. He had a
Speaker 1: second surgery in December. But I mean that's a long
Speaker 1: time for being for being, you know, anything for this year.
Speaker 1: But no, he keeps other than doing commercials, he keeps
Speaker 1: a family low profile. Any other drama going on in
Speaker 1: Dallas with the Cowboys that we need to be aware
Speaker 1: of on this program, Well, with the Cowboys, you know,
Speaker 1: the tenth pick, we have that going on. We have
Speaker 1: some drama with another owner in Dallas, and whether you
Speaker 1: want to dive into that, I'll leave it up to you.
Speaker 1: You know, with the Cowboys, it's just well, you can
Speaker 1: bring up Mark Cuban. Mark Mark Cuban says that you know,
Speaker 1: the MAVs aren't going to play the national anthem before
Speaker 1: the game, and he said he decided this a while ago,
Speaker 1: decided in November. Me being the intrepid reporter that I am,
Speaker 1: I've been to two home games. I did not notice
Speaker 1: that they were not playing. I did not pick up
Speaker 1: on that. Now there's no fans at those games, so
Speaker 1: it would seem kind of odd, although they still do
Speaker 1: the rest of the pregame. You know, you get into
Speaker 1: a very difficult area with people. You know, media tends
Speaker 1: to be a little cynical. I've been to thousands of games.
Speaker 1: The anthem is kind of a boring thing that you
Speaker 1: stand there for. I realize what it means to some
Speaker 1: people who don't go to a lot of games, but
Speaker 1: we have to recognize what it means to h to
Speaker 1: players in the NBA, and it shouldn't be the story
Speaker 1: that it will be. But since I don't think anybody
Speaker 1: else is going to fall his lead, they'll be surprised
Speaker 1: that they do. Then I suspect there will be an
Speaker 1: ongoing story here. How what's the reaction locally, Well, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's This is Dallas, Texas, so I don't
Speaker 1: think it's overwhelmingly positive. But I would say this, the
Speaker 1: people that are upset about it, they're not going to
Speaker 1: Matters games anyway. They bailed out on Mark Cuban in
Speaker 1: the NBA a long time ago, so I mean the
Speaker 1: loud voices on Twitter. Now. As far as the people themselves,
Speaker 1: I suspect most of them just want, you know, Corzingis
Speaker 1: to stay healthy and Luca to get his triple doubles
Speaker 1: and get into the playoffs. They really can move on
Speaker 1: from this, but there's gonna be a vocal minority that
Speaker 1: doesn't go to games that we'll hear from for quite
Speaker 1: a while. Are you on around the horn today? I'm
Speaker 1: taking a day off. We'll trying to restock these shelves
Speaker 1: behind me. As you see their little baron, you have
Speaker 1: this nice, warm, cozy fire. I know, perfect man, that's
Speaker 1: so sad. Like there's no awards, there's no like, there's
Speaker 1: no come. It means I come with no agenda. Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, like, tim, are you at an ikea? No,
Speaker 1: I've got a room that it may have been emptied out.
Speaker 1: Somebody may have left until last year. I don't, I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't, I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 1: Wait did she take did she take stuff with her? Well,
Speaker 1: it would have, but no, it's actually things are okay.
Speaker 1: But but she left your heart. She didn't take your heart. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: she's still there. She just doesn't reside here. But did
Speaker 1: you have to did you have to cut your around
Speaker 1: the Horn victories in half and give her half of
Speaker 1: your around the Hornmit? Yeah, but that's the case in
Speaker 1: Woody Page would have like nine victories right, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: this would be all over the glow. So yeah, that
Speaker 1: would be that would be a very tenuous thing if
Speaker 1: we if we hung on like that. I will be
Speaker 1: back on Friday. We didn't talk it, certainly about your
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson thing yesterday, and real quick, here's what I
Speaker 1: said about that. We think it's not a big deal,
Speaker 1: but think about this. Wilson and Mahomes started their career
Speaker 1: as the same way. In their second and third years
Speaker 1: as a starter, two Super bowls and one one of
Speaker 1: them Wilson hasn't gone to the last six NFC title games.
Speaker 1: What what are we thinking If Mahomes doesn't go to
Speaker 1: any of the next six AFC title games? Something has
Speaker 1: gone really really wrong in Kansas City. So that's kind
Speaker 1: of how we should look at that, Wilson. What you
Speaker 1: can say is is Mahomes the next Tom Bradyer the
Speaker 1: next Aaron Rodgers? Yeah? Right, Yeah? And what do you
Speaker 1: think Russell was trying to say? Tim? What do you
Speaker 1: think Russell Wilson was trying to say, because he doesn't
Speaker 1: normally say anything. Yeah, he certainly didn't say, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: not a bowl love Seattle. I'm That's farest thing from
Speaker 1: my mind. That was not as he gave a big
Speaker 1: smile and practically thank depressed. I don't know, because it's off.
Speaker 1: It's certainly that you know, you watched them way. He's
Speaker 1: got receivers, he's got Chris Carson. They moved them all.
Speaker 1: They store thirty, but they give up thirty. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think maybe he wants a better defensive team, but
Speaker 1: it's not like that team's in shambles. That team's pretty good.
Speaker 1: It just feels like management is never truly believed in
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, even though Pete gave him a chance when
Speaker 1: they signed Matt Flynn from Green Bay and Pete Pete
Speaker 1: still after a big free agent signing, gave Russ that job,
Speaker 1: so he believed in him. Then it's just weird to
Speaker 1: watch the game plan sometimes because this is the first
Speaker 1: year they sort of let Russ cook because the other
Speaker 1: years he was defense and run the football. And then
Speaker 1: Russ helped us out late in the fourth quarter and
Speaker 1: that's when they won. And now people are probably saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: Russell threw his six hundred passes this year, and how
Speaker 1: do we do it? Uh, you know, we need to
Speaker 1: go back to what we used to do. So, I
Speaker 1: don't know, there's there's not very many quarterbacks you end
Speaker 1: up happy in this league. I mean if you think
Speaker 1: about him just won the Super Bowl and what he
Speaker 1: had to do a year ago. Yeah, so nobody really
Speaker 1: ends up happy, which is which is kind of a
Speaker 1: sad state of affairs. Yeah, he doesn't end his career
Speaker 1: in Seattle, but then nobody ends their career except for
Speaker 1: the more you know Elway did, but he limped off
Speaker 1: he couldn't play anymore. Nobody else has that ended yeah,
Speaker 1: slip off in the Super Bowl. Hey, we'll be watching
Speaker 1: on you know what as they show of support. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to watch Around the Horn today or tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'm going to gear up, come back strong Friday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I will thank you. Tim, all right. Thanks. That's Tim Kellishaw,
Speaker 1: Dallas morning news columnist and starve Around the Horn contribute. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. When you know, if you get
Speaker 1: a divorce, then that person might take some of your
Speaker 1: Around the Horn victories there. I'm going to guess there,
Speaker 1: take a break here, take a break. Well, what kind
Speaker 1: of grimaces do I have on the other side. We'll
Speaker 1: take a break back after this. Thanks for listening to

Speaker 1: something Brighter. Here was another thing that gets lost on
Speaker 1: a lot of us when we watch a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and you know, a lot of times we're focusing on
Speaker 1: the quarterback, the offense, and you know, rightfully so with
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. But what we forget about, and I know
Speaker 1: I harp on this way too much, with the defense.
Speaker 1: Tampa's defense is the reason why they're Super Bowl champs
Speaker 1: because of the other games that they played, the defense
Speaker 1: and the quarterbacks they were facing, and they shut those
Speaker 1: quarterbacks down. But if you look back on Tom Brady's
Speaker 1: last two Super Bowl victories, look at what the defense did.
Speaker 1: Gave up three points to one of the highest scoring
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, the Rams, and gave up nine
Speaker 1: points and no touchdowns to one of the highest scoring
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. Without that, then it's probably a
Speaker 1: for an outcome here or at least one of those games.
Speaker 1: But the defenses, whether it was New England against the
Speaker 1: Rams or Tampa's defense against Kansas City, you can't lose
Speaker 1: sight of that. As much as we look at, well,
Speaker 1: you've got a great offense or a great quarterback. Defense
Speaker 1: wins football, the wins championships. And I know that I'm
Speaker 1: a broken record with it, but it's true. You have
Speaker 1: to have a great defense. Give me a great defense
Speaker 1: over a great offense going into a Super Bowl, because
Speaker 1: look at all of these teams that come in with
Speaker 1: a great offense in the Super Bowl. Buffalo Bills, Jim Kelly,
Speaker 1: great offense, explosive offense, dynamic offense, Giants shut him down,
Speaker 1: the Rams a couple of years ago, big time offense,
Speaker 1: the Patriots when Tom threw for over he threw fifty
Speaker 1: touchdowns with Randy Moss shut down in a perfect season
Speaker 1: by the Giants defense. And then you saw that with
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs against Tampa Bay. Somehow somewhere even
Speaker 1: look at Kansas City. If Chris Jones doesn't knock down
Speaker 1: the pass with Jimmy Garoppolo, they don't win the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: Seattle won a Super Bowl with their defense. New England
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Butler came up with the biggest play in
Speaker 1: Super Bowl history, and it was defense. So as much
Speaker 1: as we focus on offense and it sells tickets, it's fantasy,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's entertainment, all of those things, you
Speaker 1: gotta have a defense. And this is what the Rams realize.
Speaker 1: Now we have this defense, all we need is a
Speaker 1: complimentary offense, and we can be the best team. We
Speaker 1: can challenge the Tampa Bay Buccketeers. And I truly believe
Speaker 1: that if Matthew Stafford can border on being very good,
Speaker 1: even great, the Rams can go to the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: in their home stadium next year. So just something to
Speaker 1: keep in mind when we talk about dynasties now. As
Speaker 1: great as Green Bay was back in the you know,
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era when they first started, they had
Speaker 1: an unbelievable defense. You know, the Steelers an unbelievable defense,
Speaker 1: Doomsday defense. You have the Baltimore Ravens. They want a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with, you know, an an apt offense that
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis famously said, get us ten points and we'll win.
Speaker 1: The Giants won super Bowls because their defense shut down
Speaker 1: the Patriots twice. History history proves, I mean Von Miller
Speaker 1: in the Broncos he won the MVP. The defense dictated
Speaker 1: what happened in that Super Bowl the Chicago Bears. That defense. Yeah.
Speaker 1: As much as we love to say, you know, I
Speaker 1: want to see offense, those are the stars. Defense is
Speaker 1: what still wins championships. Yes, I totally had forgotten that
Speaker 1: the Bears won a Super Bowl with defense? What you
Speaker 1: was that? Was that in the eighties something? Yeah? I think, well,
Speaker 1: let me ask Paul, Paul, what year was that with
Speaker 1: the Bears? The only year that matters? Dan? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember that Fridge touchdown like it was yesterday. God, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to. I don't want to. I
Speaker 1: don't want to go down this road right now about
Speaker 1: defenses and no, no, you know what I'm talking about
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day sports names that is currently on the docketed four.
Speaker 1: Oh I know you just sent me said you're a
Speaker 1: pretty sneak preview name. Okay, yes, oh uh, that was
Speaker 1: not run by management. You know that was not run
Speaker 1: by anybody, don't we You know, in my excitement and
Speaker 1: hopeful miss, I've put it out there as what could
Speaker 1: transpire at some point tomorrow Bobby Valentine, Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: or why don't do it? Why don't you do it
Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day on the fourteenth. That's hard, that's a
Speaker 1: horrible fit to say, because you know that's a Sunday
Speaker 1: and we don't. Oh, but hey, it's Valentine's Day. Technically
Speaker 1: it is Valentine's Day. So I'll just sit in my
Speaker 1: rooms there, get the wall, reading it to myself Sunday. No,
Speaker 1: you know, you could put put us on a conference call.
Speaker 1: You get the same amount of laughs. Wow, no offense, Wow,
Speaker 1: conference call. I can't even get you guys to respond
Speaker 1: to a text. You're gonna sit through a conference called Valentime.
Speaker 1: I just throw it out there time. It's nice, but
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't need to see it. Now.
Speaker 1: I give you one name. I know. That was all
Speaker 1: I did. I have like eighty dames. I'll give you
Speaker 1: one A little taste, little appetizer, Jordan's Love, some questionable
Speaker 1: words on there. Yes, you always do this, and then
Speaker 1: Paul takes out his red marker and ruins it, and
Speaker 1: then I get all these social media come on. Just
Speaker 1: post it somewhere the dirty ones. He's protecting us from
Speaker 1: the FCC, and he should. If I let you do
Speaker 1: all of your names, even the sexually suggestive ones, we'd
Speaker 1: be on here. I'd say a good third or quarter
Speaker 1: of them are questionable. I know, But why do you
Speaker 1: do it? Because you know you can't. It's basically amuse
Speaker 1: myself and then hopefully, even if it's off the you
Speaker 1: guys will get a chuckle out of it, because I
Speaker 1: enjoy making you guys smile and laugh, especially during these
Speaker 1: tough times. Is that a little dramatic us? Yet? All
Speaker 1: this is it's just Valentine gets like a pandemic tide
Speaker 1: into unprecedented times. Really, that was really I don't know
Speaker 1: how you connect the dots. Say that was over it
Speaker 1: over the top. Oh god. Brian in Michigan, Hey Brian,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me? Here we go? We've
Speaker 1: been talking about the offensive lines all morning and I
Speaker 1: just wander with the limits and practice time. If we'll
Speaker 1: oversee dominant offensive lines again in the NFL? Well, you
Speaker 1: you do have them. There's certain teams that have pretty
Speaker 1: good line play. Yeah, Mick Club. You know one that
Speaker 1: was great was the Ravens with Ronnie Stanley, and yonda
Speaker 1: and then they both got heard. Yeah, Cowboys had a
Speaker 1: good one, yea, and the Eagles had a good one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: forty nine ers had a good one. But these guys
Speaker 1: get injured. That's it. Now, you can't feels like that's
Speaker 1: a big problem too. But you know, if you look
Speaker 1: back on the draft this past draft, how many offensive
Speaker 1: lineman do you think we're taken in the first round
Speaker 1: And you never think about it when it happens because
Speaker 1: they're not sexy picks. There's no celebration. Hey we gotta tackle,
Speaker 1: Hey we got a center. There were seven offensive linemen
Speaker 1: taken in the first round. That's the most since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Teams are still trying and they're using high draft picks
Speaker 1: to try to find offensive lineman here. Yeah, point, Why
Speaker 1: does the team drafting a center seem like the most
Speaker 1: uninteresting pick of all the linemen. It seems like that's
Speaker 1: a very important position. Yes, but when the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: selected you guys, remember Alex Mack. Yeah, I remember they
Speaker 1: showed the Browns and like, oh no, I think he's
Speaker 1: like a five type pro bowler. I just gonna say
Speaker 1: a lot of times when you oh gosh, I forget
Speaker 1: the guy's name. I think the Vikings might have taken
Speaker 1: a center a couple of years ago out of NC State.
Speaker 1: And I remember two Garrett Bradberry and I and I
Speaker 1: text you guys during the draft, and I go, they
Speaker 1: got a great draft pick here. Yes, but I think
Speaker 1: it's because the center can't really block like the other guys,
Speaker 1: because he's got to focus on getting the ball out
Speaker 1: where the other guys have to go mall somebody. The
Speaker 1: centers is not going to get his head knocked off, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's got to call all the h you know,
Speaker 1: he's got to make all these line calls. He's got
Speaker 1: a lot of things to do with the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: And you know, hiking the ball and shotgun is not
Speaker 1: an easy thing. Is the Buccaneers proved this season. Yes, play,
Speaker 1: but they don't draft those mental skills, like the middle
Speaker 1: linebackers never get drafted and the centers ever get drafted.
Speaker 1: You know, they say they want physical talent. Final Hour
Speaker 1: will check in with a doctor who once played in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Want a Super Bowl. I believe doctor Addacks
Speaker 1: will join us. We have two docs. Doctor crazy. It
