(00:26):
John Ramos is here as well. It's great to have
you with us on this Thursday. In fact, we're gonna
be with you for the next couple of days. Ryan
Music running this show as the executive producer. We've got
Steve de Sega on the news desk, and and what
a day, Jonas I think. I think today is going
to be a special special day here at Fox Sports Radio,

(00:48):
and it actually won't even include the John Ramo Show. Here.
Here's a little known fact for people that have and
if you've listened to Fox Sports Radio for a long
long time, you know a couple of truth about this show.
Whenever we fill in one, the John Ramo Show is
a ratings bonanza. That's number one and number two. Dan
Buyer is a game show host stuck doing sports talk radio.

(01:12):
You have a gift for this, you have the creative
mind for it, you are phenomenal at it, and you're
bringing back something that I don't think we've done in
at least a year at least. God, I cannot wait,
and I am so creative that we are totally stealing.
Who wants to be a millionaires? I think that's the premise,
John Ramos? Are you ready to possibly be become a

(01:36):
millionaire at some point over the next three hours, Dan,
I have been a millionaire in this game show before.
I see no reason why it's stopped now. Didn't let
me tell you something, Dan, Just because you're doing it
second doesn't mean it's not more famous. Look, a lot
of people are really into the show Tiger King on Netflix.
Do you think anybody's talking about Seek Freed and roy

(01:56):
So you just Seek Freed and Royd? Who wants to
be a million there? And you're the new Tiger King?
Dan Buyers Well, John Ramos will be put to the test, Jonas,
You'll be there, uh to to chime in be one
of his lifelines as well. Ryan and Steve on John's
Quest for a Million dollars that takes place today here
on Fox Sports Radio. Derrick Henry has got at least

(02:19):
ten million dollars after signing his franchise tender today. The
Titans placed the franchise tag on him, but he signed
the tender, So now he will play the season for
what we believe will be at least ten million dollars,
if not more, because there are reports that the Titans
are interested in signing Derrick Henry to a long term deal.

(02:40):
Now this is very intriguing for a lot of different reasons.
Most recently, we know how much the Titans rode Derrick
Henry on their way to the a f C Championship Game.
This is also a team that paid a lot of
money to Ryan tanney Hill this off season in Jonas.
This is also now a league where we continue to
evaluate the actual value of running backs, and if we

(03:02):
are to believe the Tennessee Titans, they seem to be
going against the norm. Yeah, but Dan, don't worry about it,
because they have every indication, like every intention of signing
him to a long term deal, like everybody, everybody just
you know, that's that's the plan. Like they do want
to get a long term deal done, So don't even
worry about it. This is simply just to keep him
in place so he can't go anywhere else in the
middle of a pandemic. Okay, they there's zero shot they

(03:25):
are signing him to a long term deal. He's going
to play on the franchise tag, and if he plays
well enough, they'll probably franchise him again next year. If
you're even able to do that, franchise a guy twice
in a row at that position, if you're into it.
So this is so you aren't buying that. The Titans
front office and John Robinson, the team's general manager, who said,
and I'll and I'll quote I met with Derek, like

(03:47):
I met with all of our guys whose contracts were
going to be up at the end of the season.
We told him we would start working on that, but
we couldn't get to an agreement on that. So we
used one of the avenues that we're able to keep
us uh available to keep allow us to keep Derek.
He's important to our football team. We want to continue
to have those discussions and back and forth in hopes
of reaching some kind of long term agreement. You don't

(04:07):
believe that is true from John Robinson. No, I don't
believe that at all. I think in a perfect world,
they would get a short term deal done and they
wouldn't have to commit the franchise tag to him. So
a short term deal meaning to three years, something similar
to him what Melvin Gordon got, or maybe a Tevin
Coleman who got a two year deal last year. Not
saying Derrick Henry is not better than those guys, but
I think that if they could get it on those terms,

(04:30):
then they would absolutely be willing to have that conversation
with him. But I don't think Derrick Henry wants a
contract like that. I think he wants a three or
a four year deal most likely, and I don't think
Tennessee has any intention of giving it to him. And also,
remember before this current crop of running backs that we
view as bad contract running backs or bad decisions. Remember

(04:51):
when the same organization paid Chris Johnson a bunch of
money after his two thousand yards season, he was never
the same player afterwards. I don't think there's any shot
they give him anything longer than a two year deal.
This is what but I think that this is this
is now the way in the NFL where you think
or where you believe that you have to strike while
the iron is hot, that you have to keep open

(05:13):
your window. With also Jonas not having the penalty of
having a complete rebuild like teams maybe would have to
do ten or fifteen years ago. Like I think the
thought process, I believe with the with the Titans, with
other teams that are giving a lot of money to
maybe guys that we aren't interested in in in maybe

(05:34):
keeping for the long term, but you just feel that
you have to give the money now. I believe that
the Titans because I don't necessarily agree with the statement
that they're just trying to keep him happy and they
really don't want to sign him to a long term deal.
I actually think that their long term deal would be
a deal whereas benefit to both parties. But with the

(05:56):
current state of today's NFL allows them to turn things
around quickly. So when we hear long term deal for
a running back, I don't think they're gonna be handcuffed
by it. And it's why I don't think that they
are necessarily lying about this, and there's they're either oblivious
to the running back state of affairs in the National
Football League. They think Derrick Henry is the unicorn, it

(06:18):
isn't and isn't affected by it if they are aware
or they're lying. And and I'm almost gonna say that's
it's option D where they just think, you know what,
let's just keep our window open because we can't turn
things around, or we can't turn things around quicker now
in the National Football League. I actually think that they
are they are interested in keeping him long term. I'm
gonna take options see because it's more fun to talk about.
I think they're lying only because um and by more fun,

(06:42):
I mean it'll it'll irritate more people only because you
just committed a bunch of money to Ryan Tannehill. We
know Derrick Henry's value to that to that organization. It
was showcased in the postseason to where he was their workhorse.
He was the guy that they depended on the fact
that they just committed that much money to Ryan Tannehill
tells me that they really feel like we are going

(07:05):
to utilize and milk Derrick Henry while we've got him
in his prime for as long as we can, and
then once the tread is off the tires, they're gonna
go get a new a new set of tires. I
just think that's the way organizations run things. I don't
like it. I feel bad for the running back position.
If I were a coach at a lower level and
I had a running back, I would teach him how

(07:25):
to play slot receiver or get him away from that position,
because ultimately, you max out your value so early, and
then when you're sitting at twenty five years old, like
Todd Gurley, people look at you like damaged goods. They're
gonna grind him into the ground. Uh if they if
if it, if it works for them, like I said,
on a two year deal or in York scenario to
where it would be a perfect contract for both sides,

(07:47):
then yes, absolutely they would do that. But I think
Derrick Henry knows his value to that organization is as
great as any other running backs value to any other organization.
And I think they're gonna they're asking price is going
to be far too high. This is what I think
is unique about what we have with Derrick Henry situation,
because his numbers jonas aren't what people may assume to be.

(08:11):
And I and I save people. And I don't mean
to randomly put it out there. I'm basically saying me
because when we hear the news of Derrick Henry signing
his franchise tender, and we think about the value of
running backs in the National Football League. We have this
preconceived notion that Derrick Henry has just been running to
the ground. He finally broke through and had a great season,

(08:34):
and now he's on his last legs. But when you
see what Derrick Henry has and actually hasn't done in
his NFL career, hundred and ten carries, hundred and seventy
six carries, eighteen thousand yards season, two hundred and fifteen carries.
It was only last year that we saw him carry

(08:55):
the ball for three hundred times. It was the only
time that he's approached that magic number of three hundred.
And when you look at what, say, Ezekiel elliotts has
three two to forty two, three oh four in three
oh one. Those were the rushing attempts that Ezekiel Elliott
had in his time with the Dallas cowcul don't worry

(09:18):
about it because Ohio State didn't use I don't even
worry about it. He's good, he's fresh, and this is
this is another reason why I actually this could work
out for the Titans in a unique way. He's not
the multifaceted back where he's catching tons of passes either,
So it's not like he has, you know, forty receptions.

(09:40):
He had twenty four targets last season, that was the
most of his career. So they're only throwing to him
maybe once or twice a game. Ended up having one
catch a game, basically eighteen receptions in a fifteen game
twenty nineteen season. So there's not the wear and tear
there either. So when you look at what he could

(10:00):
get paid, he may get a lot of money because
of this stuff. And he also then may set the
market for the running back, even back even more because
not everybody's like him. Sae Kwon Barkley is not going
to have those numbers. Leonard Fournette doesn't have those numbers.
Derrick Henry has been sparingly used. Leonard Fournett has been hurt.
Maybe that's the best example. But when you could bare

(10:22):
him to Ezekiel Elliott, I mean, who's who's three hundred plus,
three hundred plus and forty catches, I don't think he's
run into the ground as much. So I believe that
John Robinson's intentions are true here. It could be the
contract though that screws all the other running backs because
that's going to set the market for what future running
backs could get. Look I I in a perfect world,

(10:43):
he would get every dollar that that he deserves. And
that's what I I would love nothing more than for
the running back position to be valued like it is.
But unfortunately, I just don't think teams think like that.
If it were me, I would want to reward my
best players. Derrick Henry was their best players on offense,
man Yan Tannehill. And I know everybody says Ryan Tannehill
had such a great year last year and man, what

(11:04):
a job by the Titans picking him up in that trade. Okay,
First of all, Ryan Tannehill had a good regular season
when he came in, that offense was different, and he
played well. Dan in the playoffs, everybody talked about Jimmy
Garoppolo not throwing the throwing the ball a bunch of times.
What did Ryan Tannehill do, Honest to God, like Derrick
Henry had a touchdown pass. So so the fact that

(11:25):
they went and and paid Ryan Tannehill, but we're only
able to franchise Derrick Henry, I just don't think it
spells good news for him trying to get a long
term deal, and I want him to. I want that
position to be a value. I just I feel bad
that those guys are in this situation there. I think
he's going to get a good deal, but I think
this also tells him tells us something as well, is
that maybe the a f C is a little bit

(11:48):
more open than we thought. If you're looking at who
the top team in the a f C is, it's
obviously the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. And do
you want to try to keep up with them in
their firepower or do you to try to run the
ball and do what the Tennessee Titans do you know
do which I know it didn't pay off in the
a f C Championship Game. But if there is a

(12:09):
recipe to trying to knock off the Kings, to knock
the Kings off, that would be your chance to do it.
And that's why I think Tennessee is going all in
is because I think that they believe their run over
Baltimore and getting to the a f C Title Game
and beating New England was all right, this is the
recipe to do it. This is our window, this is

(12:30):
our opportunity rather than just a flash in the pan.
And I also like, I also think they look around
and go, oh, never mind. Bill O'Brien's on our division.
We got this, don't don't wearry everybody. He'll he'll, he'll
figure out a way to butcher that whole situation. I
don't know if you know this, Dan, Some people on
social media, Texans fans who may or may not have
worked in some capacity on this show, they call him Bob.

(12:50):
I don't know if you know that. Yeah, b o
b Yeah, a little little Bob Bill O'Brien there. Uh.

I'm at Dan Buyer on Fox. And you can get

You can get our next guest on Twitter at b
Wheaton three. Former Oklahoma Staaten NFL quarterback Brandon Wheaton joins
us here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, Brandon, we're sitting

(13:54):
in for Doug today, so you gotta deal with Jonas
and Iva. How are you doing. I'm good man, I'm
gonna hurt things a little little chaotic and just kind
of making the work, you know. Yeah, we just we
you know, put into it, put in the situation, sliding
in and trying not to miss a beat. And the
NFL has seemed to not miss a beat. Since everything
has gone crazy in the world, the NFL seems to

(14:15):
be the only thing that has kind of stayed normal.
But we're three weeks away from the NFL Draft. We're
also in a unique time where teams can't have contact
with draft prospects and be in the same room with them.
At least. We've heard so much about GMS and how
teams are trying to navigate this. Can you put yourself
in the position of what a player may feel like?

(14:37):
Are there any positives or any negatives that things have
been that the restrictions have maybe caused for a player.
How would a player now having to deal with all
this feel, You know, it's a little bit of a challenge.
You know, I didn't go on a ton of pre
draft bus. It's um you know, I've I've been teammates
with guys that went on twenty or pre draft business
where they flying all of the country. So there's a

(14:59):
positive for the player. They're not having to be on
an airplane, you know, every other day, finding these different
different cities. I guess, you know, uh, you know, from
a negative standpoint, you know, you may not get to
no teams as well or coaches as well throughout this
process because you know, you I guess you can face
time and do some stuff you know, over the internet,
but it's just a it's just a weird time, you know.

(15:19):
I think, I don't know, I may be different here.
You know, they got to combine in they've they've seen
these guys play. They know what they can do on
the field. They have a pretty good idea of what
they are off the field, you know, talking to coaches
and stuff like that. You know, I think a lot
of this stuff. There's just so much that goes into
the draft and at the end of the day, turn
the tape on. You know, can these guys play or not? Um,

(15:40):
you know, and are they a good fit for what
they need at at the position. You know, That's the
way I feel about it. Um. So, you know, I think, yeah,
it's probably stressed for teams because they do too much
homework where they can kind of talk themselves add some
things probably, but for the player a little less stressful,
I would assume, you know, uh, you know, if you're
a you know, a mid round pick, maybe a little

(16:00):
more stressful because you know, you're just hoping you fall
into the right situation or get an opportunity. But you know,
the the Hayes in the barn for the players, I mean,
they they've done all they can do as far as
you know, on the field and stuff like that. So
at this point, man, it's like, you know, sit back, relax.
Spencil Town with the family and and uh here here
in a few weeks, you know, kind of find out

(16:22):
your your destiny. Brandon Weeden joining us here on Fox
Sports Radio, Dan Buyer Jonas stocks in for Doug got
Leeb here on fs are Brandon, of course, you were
drafted by the Cleveland Browns, and that's sort of that's
an organization that there's a narrative that it's dysfunctional and
and things never seemed to go right, and it's been
it's been so bad for so long. Did you sense

(16:42):
what was the first thing that stood out to you
about the Browns as an organization that just didn't feel
right when you got there. Yeah, well that's a good question.
I think whatever I came in leave you don't really
know what to expect. You come from college football and
it's one way. Um, so you spect when you go
to the NFL everything is just better. I mean everything

(17:03):
and a lot of things are. I mean, it's uh,
you know, it's a step up. But I think on
all seriousnes, I think it was how bad the food
was in the cafeteria. We have got throwing up before practice,
and I mean Alex mgmi center was literally in quarterback
center exchange before practice, get throw up. I don't know,
dang near every practice. I'm not I'm not exaggerating. The

(17:24):
food was just horrendous. Um, I'm like many they can't
they can't spare some bucks and go ahead. And you know,
you got guys that are trying to put on weight,
to lose weight or you want to you know, you
want you want to put your best on the field.
You're eating junk for food. So and then I go
to Dallas and I thought I'd be a lot better
and we're in the old facility and it really wasn't.
We're eating catered meals and everything's unhealthy, and you know,

(17:45):
it's just that's just the way it is. I don't know,
it's it's people will be surprised that, uh it's at
some of those things. And I think it's all change.
I would say in the last three or four years
at that also changed. But um yeah, I mean, you
know you heard I heard stories more in my set year,
probably more than my first year, about about the Browns
and the way they were kind of ran. I mean,
you're a rookie. You just kind of keep your head

(18:05):
down and you don't really pay attention to any of it.
And then your second year you kind of get can
take a deep breath and you kind of see how
poorly or how well things are ran. And obviously they
sold the team in my second year, so um, so
things weren't running very smoothly. So it was a yeah,
those two years in Cleveland, we're an adventure, to say
the least. Brandon Wheaton joining us year on Fox Sports. Right,

(18:27):
all right, let's rank them who had the best food?
You've got stops of the Texans, the Titans, the Cowboys,
and Browns one through four. If we were to rank
the food within the organization. Uh, well, I got I
was lucky enough my last couple of years in use,
and they brought in an unbelievable nutritionists and they changed
out the cafeterias and my food and Houston, I mean

(18:48):
blew the rest out of water. And when he sounding close, Um,
the second will probably be Tennessee had a Nixeville cafeteria.
Pretty good set up, um. And then unfortunately, I gotta
say Cleveland at the time, not anymore. Dallas has got
that new nice theory and everything now. But when I
was there, it was it was like black eyed peas

(19:08):
and you know about in cool greens and stuff like that.
It was not good, I'd say, therefore, and people thought
they weren't going to get a final four. Come on,
we just gave it. This division, by the way, is
the a f C Feast the Texans, Titans, Browns and Cowboys. Um, Brandon,

(19:31):
I gotta ask you, because there's there's somebody that's been
getting a lot of criticism that you played for, Bill O'Brien,
and a lot of it is about just sort of
his handling of you know, the front office duties. Um.
You know, his his trade of DeAndre Hopkins. Um. They
go back to Jadeveon Clowney in the relationship that wasn't
you know, all squeaky clean there between those two guys.

(19:54):
I mean, what was your interaction like with Bill O'Brien
and how much validity is there to the fact that
he just doesn't get along with certain players. You know,
I was pretty lucky. I always had a pretty good
relationship with him, and I think part of that because
I'm a quarterback or was you know, in the quarterback
room and just just a different, uh fraternity kind of
dealing there, especially the head coach when he's in the

(20:15):
end every meeting with you. He was always great to meet.
In the rest of the quarterbacks, you know, you could
send some prison with some guys, you know, whether it
be Um, you know he was, he wasn't real bigger
and guys that were hurt and listen, a lot of
practice and stuff like that with you know, that's something
that's out of your control. You know, if you're playing
on Sunday, you're playing at a high level. You know,
a lot of these guys were having to do what

(20:35):
they could to get to Sunday. So you know, I
don't know. Um, I'm not gonna lie to you and
say he it was rosy with with everybody in the
locker room. It wasn't. I mean, he he was. He
demanded a lot um you know, I've always said that.
You know, he spent a lot of time with Bill Belichick,
and I think he tried to kind of use that footprint.

(20:57):
I guess you will if you will and in Houston,
and I don't really know that it's the right recipe.
When you win six Super Bowls and you everybody walks
in that building knows you run the show and how
everything's gonna be. You can do things a different way,
and and uh, you know, I think he tried to
run the ship a little different than than uh, you
know a lot of guys were used to. But you know,

(21:18):
it wasn't horrible. I think guys really like the guy,
but um, you know, they were they were definitely you
know a handful of guys that you know, he wasn't
wasn't all warm and fuzzy about Brandon Wheten joining us
year on Fox Sports already the last one for me,
and a follow up of that, how different was it
with Deshaun Watson there and without him there? Yeah, you know,

(21:41):
a good question. I tell the story a lot. You know,
I first got there, I kind of felt like and
you know, and I was new, so I was kind
of learning the system. It's a completely different system than
I had ever ran. And I had known his background
with Brady, and I kind of got the feeling that
he wanted everybody to kind of be Tom Brady, you know, mechanically,
footwork wise, progression wise, everything you know, and that's you know,

(22:05):
that's not a good. That's not good in my opinions.
And I think, well, I think once Deshan came in,
and Deshawn's one of those guys that is a coach
would be hard to coach because you don't want to
make him a robot. You want to let him go
out and play. He's got unbelievable instincts, he's got unbelievable vision.
You know, you want to teach him the concepts, you know,
teaching the progressions, but don't don't handcuff him. And I

(22:27):
think he's kind of taken that away. And once DeShawn
came in that that changed his whole mindset change, Like, look,
I'm not gonna make Deshaun Watson tom Brady like he
did with a lot of other guys. And he's also different.
He's got a little different skill set. So when DeShawn
came in, it was it was a different deal. I
think Sean had a lot more input than what he wanted,
I mean, protection wise, route, concept wise. Um, Deshaun is

(22:48):
not the most vocal guy, but if he wanted something,
he would usually go to Obie and tell him, and
they had a pretty good working relationship when it came
to that stuff. And I think will be really trusted
to Shawn. So it is completely different from two thousands,
I would say sixteen sixteen when I was ever Brock
and who you're in those guys to two thousand and
seventeen when de Shawn came in. Uh, yeah, it was

(23:10):
just apples and orange. Is compared to you know how
how the quarterback position kind of involved, and how how
he coached and how he did certain things. It was
completely different, Brandon. I have one more for me for
Brandon Wheaton here on Fox Sports Radio, Damn Buyer Jonas
knocks him for Doug Gottlie, we were talking about this.
What are you what? Were you surprised that you don't
miss as much as you thought you would during this quarantine? Um, gosh,

(23:36):
good question. Uh. I don't know. I mean I've gone
out and I've played a bunch of golf and I'm
honestly I'm fishing more than I would, so that's actually
a positive. I don't know. The fish aren't staying away,
what social distancing? What the hell is going on here? Well?
The fish, the fish are actually biting, which is good.
They're they're coming, they're coming to land. But I don't know.

(23:59):
I mean, I I would say, just being on to
play golf. That will when I want to. Um, they've
kind of shut some things down. Around here. But you know,
I don't know. I miss uh, I miss a few things.
It's also nice being being home and you being with
the fan. I tell you, no, I take that back.
I know what I do. Miss. I missed the schools
being closed because my two and five year old can't
go to school. O. They're here seven days a week,

(24:20):
twenty four hours a day. You take for granted those
little you know, I don't know something, even my two
year old when he's got a half day, you know,
you take, you take for granted when you know, the
mother's day out in the preschool stuff. So with that
a doubt school being closed for the little kids. Oh man,
there would be four nap times. If I had kids,
there would be like, I guess what nap time again?
Let's see, yeah, exactly. I'm having a hard enough time

(24:43):
to get my two year old down for a nap
right now. So it's it's the fight every single day.
From my NFL quarterback Brandon Wheeding. Find him on Twitter
at b Wheed and three. Appreciate the time, Brandon, We'll
do it again, thanks for having Be sure to catch

Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. He's Jonas Knocks.
I'm Dan Buyer sitting in for Doug today. John Ramos
is here. Steve may want to hang around as well?
Is that advice would also be passed along to our
executive producer Ryan Music? Is John Ramos goes for a
million dollars? Right? All right? Yes? Who wants to be

(25:23):
a Millionaire? By the way, it makes it to return
to network television next week at a celebrity edition. I
saw reach us in a promo completely white hair. Yes,
but this is gonna be Jimmy Kimmels hosting that. John,
Are you ready to play? Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
NFL Draft Edition? I am so ready to play. I'm
gonna hit this. Oh jeez, I love it? All right? John?

(25:50):
Is that Susanne up in the the only audience member
because of quarantine? That is correct, Susanne is the only
person here? All right? There? She is, hi, John? She
always wants alright, John? For one? Are you ready to go?
Which of these cities has never hosted the NFL Draft?
Is it a New York City? Be Pueblo, Colorado, see

(26:14):
Philadelphia or d Chicago. Now you have four lifelines. You
can phone a friend, you can ask the audience where
we would get Jonas, Ryan and Steve to weigh in.
You have fifty fifty where you can have two answers
taken away and two left on the board. And the
ever popular Steve Please, where you can rely on Steve
de Saga for anything that may stump you. Steve Please

(26:39):
is probably the best one of all of them. But
I'm gonna go to take a guest on this one.
I feel confident that it's Pueblo, Colorado, alright, teaching you
things about the NFL Draft that you never knew, and
helping John Ramos win a million dollars. Johnas that your
final answer is my final answer. It is Pueblo. Way

(26:59):
to go, Johnny. Have you ever been to Pueblo? Jonas?
I never. I don't care about John. I believe I
think my mom was born there. Yeah. Yeah, I just
always like to say Pueblo because that's a very fun
word to say. Wasn't it on Peewee Herman? Wasn't Pueblo
featured one harm? It may have been? Yes, all right, John,

(27:23):
do you want to go for five dollars? Would you
like to keep that one hundred dollars and go and
watch Pee Wee's Playhouse, Dan, let's play all right? He
didn't do the Will Ferrell No, I'm good. I love
by the way. My favorite part about this is when

(27:44):
the music gets going, it starts to get tense. John
starts to giggle because he's legitimately nervous trying to win
a fake million dollars and we would never see him
again if there was actual cash being exchanged. Good news, John,
this question is actually for a thousand dollars. You're ready.
Just for the record, no one in this office building
has ever been handed a million dollars. Game show right? Otherwise,

(28:08):
maybe today is different. Who knows. We'll just give him
a bottle of hand sanitizer that is worth a million dollars.
Which of these players John was not picked first overall
in the NFL draft? Is it a Jared Goff, be
Carson Palmer, see Kyler Murray or d Tom Brady? This
one is. I know. I'm a Rams fan, so I

(28:30):
know Goff went first. I know Kylie Murray went to first.
I'm gonna go with the guy who's won a lot
of Super Bowls, shockingly enough. My final answer, Tom Brady,
that is correct. That's for a thousand dollars for John Ramos.
I gotta be honest with you. I really thought John
was gonna guess Carson Rama like you steered me down

(28:52):
a path, John, that I was getting ready to walk
out of the studio and I'm sitting right next to
Day and he was gonna have to do the show alone.
We would have had to come up with more topics.
You know, all right, John, would you like to go
for five thousand dollars? Five thousand seems good? Right now,
Let's go for it. I could buy you five rolls

(29:15):
of toilet paper. John has got all four of his
lifelines available again. The topic is the NFL Draft. In
the two thousand eight NFL draft, the first two picks
had the same last name. Which was it? Two thousand
and eight? The first two draft picks and the same

(29:37):
last name? What was that last name? Was it? A?
How be long? See has this been? For d doing on? Okay,
how long has this been or going on? Let's see that.

(30:05):
The question was they got drafted first the first two
picks of the same exact last name was their last name?
How how long has this been? We're going on? Oh? Man,
you have you have? But I don't think I want

(30:27):
to use them this early, right, because it's these are
like the easiest question. You can't win a million unless
you win five thousand. Right, I'm gonna use a lifeline
because I the how and long I know has this
been going on? Is probably not the I don't know
going on? I think was one of those h names
with the different parents that we see so often. Now

(30:49):
I'm gonna I'm gonna a phone a friend. Okay, who
would you like the phone? I'd like to phone Ryan Music? Oh,
Wow Music. Let's has Ryan Music stopped laughing in the back.
So let's get our our friends at the Discover Card
to hook up Ryan on our guest hotline. All right, wow, John,

(31:17):
Oh hello, you're supposed to say hello, Hello, Hi Ryan.
This is Dan Buyer from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
NFL Draft game on Fox Sports Radio. We have your
friend John Ramo sitting in the chair and uh, he
wants to ask you a question as he is going
for five thou dollars. Okay, okay, and the question is
in the two NFL Draft the first two picks of
the same last name. What was it? Was it? How

(31:40):
long has this been? Or going on? Okay, I'm gonna
have to go with long. H I like that. Well,
I didn't know what it was, so I'm gonna take
as the answer. I'll take okay, John, is that your
final answer? Yes? It is, Dan. This question took a

(32:04):
long time going on It is long. Jake Long and
Chris Long went back to back. John Ramos, you have
five thousand dollars in an hour from now, you'll go
for ten. Love it? Thanks Dan, Wow Man almost went

(32:25):
with going on. It was close, I mean and after

a good friend, Steve to Sega right now time. This
is game time side on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Hello Steve,
good afternoon once again, gentlemen. Yeah you too. As for John,

(34:12):
what game today? Guess who we will be asking the
two of you. I don't know what was one by
one to guess the answer of this sports related quiz
on News Oh the Day. Item number one, Guess who
is an NFL head coach and thinks the NFC South

(34:33):
just got much stronger after the Buck signed Tom Brady.
It's an NFC head coach. N f C head coach
says the South got stronger. He's talking football. Just for
the record, Steve, you ready, Frank Vogel, No, Southern California.
Someone kind of not close. It was Danny guess um.

(34:58):
I'm gonna say Sean Payton, cheating man. Great signing by Tampa,
he said, and he believes the entire Bucks roster will
get better with Tom Brady's leadership. I would love to hear.
I would love to hear awful signing by Tampa. You know,
from from an NFC South coach. Yeah, just listen to
Rob Parker. Item to guess who expects Laramie Tunsel to

(35:20):
be the highest paid lineman in the NFL. M Texans
are working on a new contract with the guy, he
said to be looking for an average annual salary of
more than twenty million dollars. By any hints here, Steve,
that's the answer to most questions these days. But no,
all right, Steve, I got it. Dan wants to play. Well,

(35:43):
it's to goof around. We're trying to radio show here, Steve,
I've got it. I'm gonna go with Joe Exotic. Who
is Doc Antels? The correct answer is Laramie tuns Oh,
Jeez Cable and so on. ESPN today confirms he's looking
for the top spot, but declined otherwise to discuss specifics

(36:06):
of his talks with Houston. Currently, the latest offer reportedly
the Texans have made would surpass Lane Johnson's deal with
the Eagles. What else you got for us? Cats and kitten? Steve,
by the way, I just by the way, what a
world we live in too? Where you know, it was
just a short time ago he was appearing smoking weed

(36:29):
with a gas mask on, and now he's demanding in
the middle of a pandemic, in a global crisis. He's
demanding more money than any other player the history of
the position, thinking of how things have changed, add onto this,
I'm sorry I told these guys this before. My favorite
part of that draft night when Tunzel got busted was
ESPN only thought there was a picture, But remember there

(36:51):
was the video where he took the mask off and
he's sitting there and they're like, was that you in
the picture? Roll the video he takes the mask off
seconds later. That was that was That was a just
a wonderful addition to the NFL Draft. Their streaming was
slow loading. I believe that was the problem. Guess who
in the NFL team or owner used their private plane

(37:13):
to deliver over a million masks from China back to
the US. It's happening right now, NFL owner, a team plane. Okay,
I will go with the Houston Oilers. Yea, interesting, that's
a good that's it's a state's governor that's been extremely

(37:37):
frustrated with the supplies. Let's say, I'm gonna go with Craft. No, no,
it is the Patriots team plane. There we go, there
we go. Yeah. Uh. Finally, guess who in the NFL
is comfortable making decisions regarding the draft without having seen

(38:00):
all these guys throw live. Okay, it's got to be
somebody who is an ex player who's got sort of
a meathead mentality. Who would that be? I'm gonna it
is a team drafting high Oh geez, I didn't hear
the question because John was saying, one minute, to my ear,
is comfortable not seeing all the guys draft live when

(38:23):
it comes to drafting quarterbacks in three weeks, I'm gonna
say the Bengals because they don't want to watch any
of their players it is they say the number one
evaluation tool is always regular season tape. Steve Can, I
can I guess this please? I'm gonna say the Bengals.

(39:03):

as well, Glad to have you on this Thursday afternoon.
Derrick Henry As signed his franchise tender Titan, saying that
they want to work out a long term deal. Jonas
believes that that's not necessarily their intentions. Little word play
maneuvering here and there, but the NFL Jonas once again

(39:25):
providing uh there providing us with an avenue to treat
things business as usual. Business is normal with the NFL,
because this doesn't seem to be any different than any
other offseason we've had in the league. I mean, let's
be honest here, they were. They were very fortunate that
this whole thing happened when it happened, and you and
I were both in Miami for the Super Bowl, Dan,

(39:47):
I saw people in the airport's wearing medical masks. I
saw I was on the plane ride back. Ryan Music
was sitting behind me, and the entire like our rows
like people were wearing medical masks, especially in myro and
they were wiping down and disinfecting all the seats, everything included.
People were handing back disinfectant wipes back and forth. So

(40:10):
this was known that that there could be a problem,
and that was before the Super Bowl. Had this happened
two months ago, we're talking about super Bowl getting canceled,
which would have been a big blow to the NFL.
We're talking about all the other events around the Super Bowl,
all the other performances that would have been canceled to
go along with it. The fact that not only did
the NFL get the Super Bowl in but they also

(40:31):
got the combine in. They are so fortunate that this
happened now as opposed to what could have happened and
depending on who you believe, maybe should have been considered
a couple of months ago. No Jonas, I don't know
if you heard me tell this story, but I know
I told it to Doug. It was in late February
that me and my wife went back to the Midwest
and we were in Indianapolis and at night went out

(40:54):
for a steak in downtown Indie the week of the combine,
and Sean Payton said at the table next to us.
So then all of a sudden, when coronavirus, you know,
the diagnosis comes out, you start to think, like, wait
a sec, hold on, like they he was literally at
a table right next to us the week of the
NFL Combine. You kind of start to freak out that way.

(41:14):
My wife, by the way, wearing a mask on our
flights that we took during that time, so she was
ahead of the game as well. But it's it's very unique.
I do think that if if something like this would
have happened the week of the Super Bowl, UM, I
have no idea and how it would have happened what
would have occurred, but with it happening when it did
at a time when let's be real, there there are
really two types of of of times a year when

(41:37):
people say like, this is my favorite time of the year.
Usually it's it's September October ish, whether you be a
baseball playoff guy in an NFL guy in college football,
or maybe even the start of the NFL season, or
it's around this time because you've got college hoops, you
got the NBA playoffs, you have the Masters, and you
have Opening Day happening. These are like the two years
or the two types of times of the year where

(41:58):
you're really saying, man, I love sports. What I've come
to be a bit surprised by was I hated hearing
the news that the n c Double A Tournament was
going to be canceled, but without the games in the
conference tournaments really wrapping up and we didn't get a
taste of the tournament. I hadn't missed the tournament as much,

(42:19):
just because it never came to me like it wasn't
I knew what was coming, but it wasn't on my plate,
and then it was taken away. I think I would
have missed it a lot more had say game started
than they ended up just canceling it since it was
never here. I didn't necessarily miss the n C Double
A Tournament as much as I thought that I would.
I missed the first two days the most, the first
two days the most because I think that's when you

(42:40):
get most of the crazy action, where you get most
of the a lot of the buzzer beaters. There, there's
more teams involved, So I missed the first two teams
the most, and after that, yeah, I haven't really, I
haven't really thought about it. Um. The one aspect of
the NBA that I've missed, and I haven't missed the
NBA as much as I thought I would. The one
aspect of the NBA that I missed, uh is the
Thursday night games because I just love the presentation. I

(43:03):
love the way t NT does it, um. I I
love the setup there. Certain look certain networks do things
really really well. UM. I've always thought, you know, Fox
does the MLB postseason really really well. I think NBC
does Sunday Night Football really really well. And I think
t NT does the NBA on Thursday Night's really really well.

(43:23):
But I haven't missed it. I haven't missed the NBA
as much as I thought I would, and that just
because it it's tradition. I did miss Opening Day in
Major League Baseball because I think I think it's a
fun time. I think a lot of teams, you know,
you have a full slate of games, and they're sort
of an anticipation there. And we've been in studio when
it's Opening Day and John Ramos has got I mean,

(43:46):
every single TV's got a baseball game on because John
that's his favorite sport and he loves baseball. So I
have missed that stuff. But I'm surprised that I haven't
missed the NBA as much as I thought I will.
Here's why I don't think I've missed the NBA is
because I put it on whole for the n C
Double A tournament. And then once the Masters is done,
which I think I will really really miss next week
and we find out some of the replays that CBS

(44:08):
is gonna air philm Mikelson's first win, They're gonna re
air Tigers win last year in one of their windows.
Next week is when I will really miss not being
able to to watch the Masters. But with with the
n b A. I also looked at it as like
this was an opportunity where all right, teams were already
locking up their playoff spots. We had kind of seen

(44:31):
the playoff picture. There's some jockeying for position, but we
kind of knew who was who was going to be where.
What I am curious about, Jonas from my own being,
you say you missed the part of Thursday Night. I'm
a Milwaukee Bucks fan, and the Milwaukee Bucks have not
been considered a perennial contender in the NBA. I mean

(44:54):
it's been last year with the best record in the
league and now this year, and there are questions. I
don't think that there's there's bigger questions as people want
to make about Janice in his future, because I think
he stays there. However, you do want to take care
of every opportunity, so when the playoffs starts, or when
they are supposed to start in April, Jonas, I think
that of of being a Bucks fan to not have

(45:17):
this opportunity, and if they start the NBA, however they
may start it, you get a bad matchup and if
you're only playing three games series, like your chance at
a title could end up going by the wayside because
of all and and listen, I don't I don't want to.
I don't want to diminish what is happening in the world.
I mean, he's sports title is not a big deal,

(45:38):
the point being you're just also saying what could have been? Yeah,
and that's and And I feel bad because I do
feel bad for the Bucks because this was a legitimate
opportunity for him, And there's no guarantees. Man, there's no
guarantees that all of a sudden, somebody gets in you
Honese's ear and tells him about his brand and how
it could be so much bigger in another market. And
you know this from being a fan of that small

(45:58):
market team. You have to hit home runs in the
draft or else you set your You don't have the
ability sometimes to be able to land a big name
free agent like some other organizations can just throw out
what they can offer from a marketing standpoint. So you've
got to be able to strike while you can with
a Janice and teda Kumbo. And I feel bad for
the Clippers. It's gonna it's gonna be similar if if

(46:20):
the season gets canceled. And I don't think it's going
to I think they're gonna try everything that they possibly
can to get something done. But if the season gets canceled,
you're gonna look back on the Bucks and the Clippers
like we look back on the Expos from the Expos
from ninety four, who were so good and so talented.
You just go up and down that roster, whether it

(46:42):
was Pedro Martinez or Larry Walker or Moises Zulu, like
up and down that lineup. They were loaded, and that
was considered a legitimate World Series contender. And not only
did they not win a World Series, there was so
little buzz for the franchise that they ended up moving
out of the out of the city. Had that at
baseball not had a strike and the season not cut short,

(47:04):
I wonder if Montreal ever gets moved because they would
have had a title, and I think with that title
brings a bunch of extra buzz that lasts for years,
years and years after. Yeah, I don't. It's it's crazy.
The thing in ninety four Expos always brought up as
the you know, yeah, what could have been in that
season and they had what Pedro Martinez and it was
like old of that team they were Yeah, they they

(47:26):
were loaded, and you look at you look at the
Clippers and co EI's contract. It wasn't like he signed
a seven year deal to be in m l A.
And Janice has got his questions to pop up. And realistically,
the Bucks have made a lot of moves this year.
They had a decision to make with what they were
going to do is really over the last two years.
They end up giving bled so his contract, they give

(47:47):
Chris Middleton his and Malcolm Brogden's the guy who's the
odd man out, so he goes to Indiana. But you
also bring in a bunch of other pieces that you're hoping,
all right, this could be the final puzzle. You had
Robin low Bez to be the backup to Brook Lopez,
Wesley Matthew slides in. So you made a lot of
a lot of moves that are that are for this

(48:08):
season and for this season to cash in. And I
just even even if this season continues, Jonas in the
Bucks cash in. I worry about what happened to the
San Antonio Spurs when the NBA had its work stoppage
in the late nineties, Because they go and win a
title with a full window of the playoffs where you're
actually playing a legitimate playoffs, but you only played fifty

(48:31):
games in the regular season, and teams are going like
Spurs and went then and play the full you know,
slate of games that year. The Lakers had went went
back to back to back after that, So you're looking
at the Spurs title at that time as a one
off for a team that didn't you know, that didn't
play a full regular season, and no one actually gave
them credit until they backed it up with you know,

(48:52):
a couple more titles. If you're a Bucks team or
a Clippers team that wins the title in a best
of three NBA finals and an empty in you know,
Las Vegas, like, how many people are gonna be like, yep,
that's legit for the Bucks. No one to think that. Well,
it's like the guy who after they busted all those
guys on the tour to France for taking p E

(49:13):
d s, they realized, all right, well, the cleanest guy
to do it finished like seventeenth. Congratulations sir. If they
called me after the fact and said, hey, we know
you finished seventeenth in the real race, but we're gonna
award you the tour to France I'd be like, kiss
my ass, like I want to stand up on the podium,
like I want everything that comes along with it. This
does nothing for me after the fact, so I'd rather
not have it at all. So there is going to

(49:34):
be a lack of I don't know, uh, you know
if you want to say hype or lack of celebration,
maybe um of winning the final. And look, I have
a buddy who's a Spurs fan and for years we
used to give him a hard time and say, hey man,
David Robinson only has half a ring. But that that
that was that was our big thing, because it was

(49:55):
it was half a season. And I want to and
and if I'm if my memories serves me correctly, they
beat the Knicks in the finals, and I want to
say that the Knicks were an eight seeds. Yes they were.
If you just go back and look at what happened
in a shortened season to see an eight seed go
through the NBA playoffs and get to the NBA Finals,

(50:17):
I wonder if some of these lower seeds maybe are
going to be maybe having a little bit more of
an advantage. Then then maybe we think just based on
the fact that the season was sort of a little
bit choppy and whatever they did, whatever their recipes for
success was, is going to help them in the long run.
But yeah, it's a bummer I think people. Look, I mean,

(50:38):
if if if the Bucks end up winning a championship
and you're celebrating it, you know you've got one of
those a whole friends, it's gonna say, yeah, but you know,
it's the coronavirus season. There's an asteris on it. It's
just how how what's what sports fans do? Well? If
you remember when it was when the Nuggets beat the Sonics,
which I think it was, that was the first the
one eight series of the five games. Yes, yes, The

(51:02):
reason why the NBA put in a seven game series
for the first round wasn't because of more television money.
They didn't want their number one seeds being knocked out
by an eight seed. So your point of having and
in that season it was a five game series. The
next beat the Heat, who were the top seed that year.
They win that series three games to two. The NBA

(51:25):
was like, all right, we need to make it so
we aren't losing our best team in a shortened window.
If you have a best of three first round, yes,
please our first round series, like like there is it
is you're even even without home court advantage, which I
I don't know how much of it. If you were

(51:45):
to pick you're having home court in a seven game
series or just even taking away home court, We'll do
that seven game series on a neutral quarter or a
three game series on a neutral court. You're taking the
seven game series if you're the better team because it
allows you now you don't even have home court advantage
to rely on it, and now you gotta beat this
other team two out of three games. It's vigna. It's

(52:06):
not going to be easy if they end up going
this way. Look which which playoff format in all of sports?
Do we see the most upsets in the n c
A tournament. Because the reality is in the n c
A tournament, you could be a one seed and then
you have four minutes of bad basketball in the second
half and the other team gets hot, and it's over
and and it's over. And I've always said the tournament

(52:27):
is the least rewarding tournament when it comes to playing
a good season. You don't like imagine that you play
all season long, you're one of you're one of the
four best teams in the country, And how does the
n c A tournament reward you. You don't get any
home games, Uh, you don't get a lot of time
to prepare for certain teams, um and then you you're
playing at two games in a weekend against against players

(52:48):
that maybe you've never seen before in your life. So
there's there's literal to no advantage in the n c
A tournament, which makes it such a crapshoot. Now I
would be I think the consolidated version of what the
NBA playoffs are going to be, which is what I
firmly believe is going to happen. They're gonna have a playoffs,
but it's not gonna be a bunch of seven game series.
I would absolutely love it, just because of what has

(53:10):
happened to the NBA postseason in the last few years.
I can't tell you how many times you get the
feeling four minutes or five minutes into an NBA game
that it's going to be a blowout and you know
that one team just realizes, all right, we'll get him
next game. Like that does not exist now, absolutely does
not exist. Because if you're a one seed and you
lose the first game of a three game series. Now

(53:32):
you're on the ropes the rest of the way, and
that team's got momentum. I think it's gonna be a
lot of fun to watch, you know. I think we've
been blowing the Lakers out of proportion this whole season.
But if this goes on, they're in a there, in
a between a rock and a hard place, because if
they win, no one's gonna give them credit, and if
they lose, oh yeah, it's it's gonna be it's gonna
be glorious. It is gonna be especially around the Fox

(53:53):
Sports Radio studios, which like and I'm just saying that,
you know, per Capital, I would say more Laker ball
osher's in that one studio than anywhere else in the country,
you know. In my opinion, Oh boy, John Ramos has
given that look, I mean, does he have to throw
gang signs up? I mean, we're trying to talk sports
radio here. He's gonna turn violent all of a sudden, ridiculous. Um,

(54:15):
he's from the middle finger gang. Dan Buyer Jonas knocks
in for Doug gott Leave here on Fox Sports Radio.
You can get Dan on Twitter at Dan Buyer on
Fox All right, coming up next? Um, Dan Buyer has
noticed behavioral patterns of one player in the NFL that
could be very problematic. Find out who it is next

(54:36):
year on FSR. Be sure to catch the live edition
of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three p m.
Easter noon Pacific. Than it is, He's Jonas Knocks, I'm
Dan Buyer. John Ramos continues his quest for a million dollars.
In about ten minutes or so, Tom Brady is gonna
have h I don't know, maybe upwards the sixty million
dollars after his two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

(54:58):
the contract that he got to leave the Patriots after
twenty years in the league and now moves on to
new surroundings and Jonas, it seems like it is a
new Tom Brady that that we've got now that he
is no longer in Foxborough and under the Bill Belichick umbrella. Well,
he's free, Dan, I mean, he's finally free. He can
he can now spread his wings a little bit. He

(55:20):
was two caged up there in New England and now
he wants to go out and spread his wings. He
wants to do things that Tom Brady normally doesn't do.
I think It's a totally natural reaction from somebody who
just got out of a long relationship. Now this is
this is, this is West Welker. Okay, we've heard stuff
Lane Johnson has talked about other Patriots don't have fun.
We've heard other rumblings that things aren't great in New England.

(55:43):
This was Wes Welker on w E E I talking
about his time there and Jonas, I think you're gonna
find maybe a lot of similarities to what you just
said to what was what Wes Welker said to the
Boston radio station. Maybe a little bit. I was still
upset about it. I did want to be there, but
there was part of me that I just like enjoying
the game. I enjoy having fun, and you know, I

(56:06):
feel like you're playing your best ball when everybody is
having fun and enjoying themselves. And I think there were
some times where I didn't really feel that. And you know,
coach Belichick is hard on guys and trying to get
the most out of him that he can't and that
was on his departure as well from New England when
he was asked about at first. But kind of summarizing

(56:26):
what we've heard from other people as well. Yeah, and
and that's been the talk about around New England that
you know, you get there, it's very business like. There
is no goofing around. You're not going to have like that.
It's why the arians decision to go play for Bruce
Arians is so fascinating because it's the complete opposite of
Bill Belichick. I mean complete opposite to where if you

(56:48):
ever watched the Football Life documentary on Bruce Arians, like
he has a mandate that if any of his assistant
coaches miss a school recital or any family obligations, they're fired.
Like he does not want football to consume their lives.
And that's totally different from the last twenty years for
Tom Brady, and I get it. It It would, it would.
It wears you out from time to time when it's

(57:10):
never quite good enough, even though you're the greatest of
all time. You know, what isn't fun. What's not fun
is having to go to bed at ten o'clock when
you're years old. It's not fun having your screen time limited.
It when you can only be on your tablet for
thirty minutes. It's not fun when you're not allowed to
watch your favorite show or stay up later go over

(57:32):
to a friend's house. So what you do then to
rebel against your parents? You smoke weed, you go out,
let's pop a little bruskie with old boys at eleven o'clock.
That is exactly what Tom Brady is doing. He is
doing what every thirteen or fourteen year old has done
to rebel against their parents. He is now going to

(57:56):
do an interview with Howard Stern next week. This is
this isn't And I don't know anybody out there who
doesn't enjoy listening to Howard Stern like the best that
there ever was in radio period. It is right, I
mean that's but Howard Stern is not gonna say to
Tom Brady what do you think about the NFC South

(58:19):
this year? Like that's that's not going to happen, right,
that's there's not going to be conversations. We are going
to find out many new things about Tom Brady. And
Tom Brady is doing this. Tom Brady is being the
rebellious teenager who is going against his parents rule. What
usually happens during that time and after everything sorts itself out,

(58:41):
the teenager usually realizes that, you know what, maybe this
isn't for me, or maybe there was a reason and
what you learned down the line, and that's what I
think is happening with Tom Brady. Tom Brady is going
golf all of a sudden one day, your kid is
dressing all in black and you have no idea where
I came from, and you're saying, WHOA wait a second here.
That's what Tom Brady is doing. And in the long run,

(59:04):
he's going to regret this decision. But he is doing
everything now that he couldn't do with New England, and
he's making it known that he can now do these things.
Do you think Tom Brady has ever walked inside a
hot topic? I mean, do you think ever in his
life Tom Brady has walked in a hot topic and said,
you know what, I really love that Maryland Manson shirt
on the wall. You know what I think he did.
He stood outside the mall and just looked in and

(59:25):
on the side the window, knowing that he couldn't go in,
but there would be one day when he gets that
Misfits T shirt that he can wear. That was going
to happen at least once in his life, and now
is that opportunity. Look, this is the same behavioral patterns
that happen when you get out of a long relationship
that you've been in for a long time. The grass
is always greener. On the other side, things haven't been

(59:47):
going well. You're fighting, and all you want to do
is just go be single, and you want your freedom
and you get out there and you enjoy it for
a while and you go out. You can you can
stay out later than normal, you don't have to check
in with anybody in there, certain freedoms that come along
with it. And then all of a sudden, Tuesday night
rolls around and you realize, God, nobody's going out, and

(01:00:08):
I missed the companionship. And then a holiday rolls around
and you realize, Wow, everybody's got things with their significant other.
And there's gonna be reminders throughout the course of either
the off season or in the season to where Brady
is gonna look back and go, I kind of maybe
missed the structure a little bit more than I thought
I would. And right now though he can't see that,

(01:00:28):
because right now he's just so happy to get away
from it and look all of these like the one
thing about going on the Howard Stern Show, Howard Stern
may actually get to the root of what the issue
was in New England and might have a better chance
to do so than anybody else in sports because Tom
Brady doesn't give media members anything. He does a Macy's

(01:00:49):
halftime show with Jim Gray and he's been doing it
for like a decade and Jim Gray can't get a
damn thing out of him. Uh the last you know,
it goes on every single Monday night. I think Howard's
Stern is gonna poke and prod and get to the
relationship side of things. And I think members of his
show who are sports fans, members of his staff are
going to tell him, Hey, find out why he decided

(01:01:12):
to leave, and hammer the point through until you get
an answer, because nobody else has been trying to get
that answer. Tom Brady put a tweet up on social media,
and I believe on his Instagram page as well, about
him going on Howard Stern. Yeah, that's that's like showing
off the Hickey's on your neck, you know. I mean,
I mean, come on, you know, like, what are you doing?
What are you That's crazy, That's what he's doing right now.

(01:01:33):
He's showing it off to look at what I'm doing.
I'm out there yeah, I gotta pack of smokes. Oh
what's this lighter for? That's exactly what he's doing. Dan.
You know, this is the move back in the day.
If you got out of a relationship and you're really heartbroken,
back in the day, either on a page or message
or on your cell phone, you would have a woman
say this is so and so's cell phone, leave a

(01:01:55):
message and will try to get back to you because
knowing that if r X called and heard that, she
would lose her mind. Now I'm not saying that I
did anything like that, Dan, I'm I'm not saying I
did anything like that, but but I'm saying that John
Ramos probably did. Just let you know, this is uh,
this is so can this is so contriving, this is

(01:02:17):
Tom Brady. It's your spot on though, your spot on it.
It's and you said it before the show and you're
a hundred percent correct. It's it's all of a sudden,
the kid who went to Catholic school his entire life,
and next thing you know, he looks like he's, you know,
a member of slip Knot at the reunion. It's like
what happened here? Like where the mask come from? Man?
It just Yeah, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense,
but I am fascinated to see what what Howard Sterring

(01:02:40):
can get out of him. Though, like that'll be impressive.
It doesn't mean I'm not gonna listen. Yes, that is
that is not good to be the case. I definitely
everybody's gonna tune it, and you're right, he probably will
get the best out of him and we can really
finally see what was going on, or at least what
was happening from Tom Brady's point of view. Fox Sports
Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

the hot seat. He has used one of his four
life lines. I know you're usually used to having three,
but John has four. He has used his phone a
friend where he called Ryan Music and Ryan was able
to provide the answer to give John five thousand dollars.
He's three lifelines that he has left asked the audience.

(01:03:23):
That's where he can ask jonas, Ryan and Steve their
opinions on answers. Fifty fifty will take away two of
the options given to John. And there's Steve Please a
special Steve de Seger option. He has got five thousand dollars,
John Ramos, do you want to go for ten grand? Dan?
Up microphones? Dan, let's play all right? I was hoping

(01:03:48):
he was gonna say, Nah, what else you guys want
to talk about? All right? For ten thousand dollars? John,
what player was taken after Peyton Manning went first overall
in the NFL draft? Was it a Charles Woodson? B
Andre Wadsworth? See Ryan Leaf for d Curtis Enis it's

(01:04:10):
pronounced it is pronounced dnis. Just so you know what
player was taken after Peyton Manning went number one in
the draft? Ready to help at any time, John, let me, Um,
I'm gonna I'm not gonna use What are you thinking

(01:04:34):
right now? I'm not thinking anything because John, come on,
John's complete. Yes, I uh names ring a bell for
me there, But I just don't know. I don't know
who went second. I don't just so I'm gonna have
to let's pull the crowd. Okay, we'll ask the audience here.

(01:04:56):
Jona snocks ride music and Steve de Seger, you guys
whill have to do choose. We'll start with Jonas, go
to Ryan, and then Steve, what player was taken after
Peyton Manning went number one in the draft? Was it
h Charles Woodson, be Andre Wadsworth, see Ryan Leaf for
d Curtis Enis Jonas. Uh, you know, Dan, I'm thinking
about the wind and how when it gets really windy

(01:05:17):
certain things fall off a tree. Uh and uh and
those things. Now that I think about it, I should
have said one thing because it's plural. I'm not plural.
I'm gonna go Ryan Leaf, Dan, Ryan Music. I will
go with Ryan Leaf as well, all right, Steve to Seger,
A Charger fan would know this one. It is Ryan
Leaf setting back the franchise years. So of the audience

(01:05:42):
says see Ryan Leaf zero percent to Charles Woodson, Andre
Wadsworth and Curtis Enis. Dan. My final answer is I'm
gonna go with the audience. Is it the audience? Ryan?

(01:06:03):
You just won ten dollars? Yeah, there you go. Johnny
took the franchise seven years to have a winning record.
By the way, Dan, can I tell you my courtesy
and his story? Real quest. I was at a Chicago
Bears bar and there was a gentleman in the bar
wearing a Curtis Enis jersey, except he got a little
bit creative on the back and put the letter P

(01:06:25):
in front of his last name. That is a true story,
Paulinus's true. By the way, this question was a candidate
to be like the question, but it was. And that's
what you've got, John, John, do you want to go
for fifty dollars? Sound all right? You've got fifty fifty

(01:06:48):
and Steve please left in your bad You are four
questions away from a million dollars questions centering on the
NFL draft, John, for fifty dollars. One NFL draft is
scheduled to take place in what city? Cleveland, Ohio, Las Vegas, Nevada, Joe,

(01:07:12):
Montana or Nashville, Tennessee. I think I know this one.
I want to say Nashville, Tennessee. Interesting. Do you want
to think this over before you say final answer? There
are still other options the answers for draft, yes, or

(01:07:42):
NFL draft or take home the money from the last
question for fifty NFL really fast, It's Montana, It's Cleveland, Cleveland,
Las Vegas, Joe, or Nashville. I swear it was Nashville.

(01:08:07):
But I'm getting a vibe. I no, that was Christ. Christ.
Let me go the first one. What was it for
cleve Cleveland, Ohio? I'm gonna say, is that your final answer?
Clearly not please be your final answer. It is my

(01:08:30):
final answer. It is Cleveland. Oh The raft was supposed
to be in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks.
Last year's draft was in Nashville, Tennessee. I see, I
knew where they were. I just didn't know what year.
You got more second chances in Ohio state. And that's

(01:08:53):
that one was legit, though, John, you have a built
in advantage here, all right, because we don't have enough
topics to fill the rest of the show. So you
need you you you have to get this corrected. The
game is going to be proved for you to win.
So we keep playing. Oh wow, John, you are you
are on the verge of our hundred thousand dollars and
you are three questions away from a million. Will pick

(01:09:14):
this up in an hour or so, John Ramos, and
by the way, has two lifelines left. Oh man, maybe
we'll have to give him another one called second try.
You know, I guess one wrong and then we just
give him another show and then if that doesn't work, Dan,
how about you can't possibly lose here's the right answer,

(01:09:41):
Dan Buyer, Jonas Stocks and for Doug gott Leevier on
Fox Sports Radio. If you have any advice you would
like to give John Ramos in this high pressure environment
as he goes for a fictional million dollars here on
Fox Sports Radio, John, where can they find you? On Twitter?
It's a special one today, Jonas, it's Fort Knox. That's

(01:10:03):
good job that that that is RT. Yeah, okay, very good?
All right? Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio,
there is an NFL team who may be showing how
desperate they actually are. Find out who next year on
Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to catch the live edition
of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three p m.

(01:10:25):
Easter noon Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the Heart
Radio app. Today's Doug Gotlip Shows, brought to you by Lows.
Lows is open and here to help you through this
very important time with critical supplies to keep your home

store for free. He's Jonas Knox. I'm Dan Buyer in

(01:10:46):
for Doug Gottlieb today. That's because Doug was in for
Colin Cowherd on the Herd And we'll hear from Doug
in a bit in a segment we like to call
and Now Jonas. There was breaking news last night the
NFL broken by Fox Sports j Glazer and had to
do with the Cowboys signing of Aldon Smith. Doug today

(01:11:07):
on The Herd for Colin Cowherd on that Cowboys signing.
You can sit there and tell me like, no, this
is a personal rehab project. It's a great player. I
think he's a good man. I think, okay, fine, But
they wouldn't be doing this if they had you're talking about.
This is one of the, if not the most important
aspect to a defense, and they wouldn't be going cheap

(01:11:29):
getting a guy on the minimum if they had money
to spend. They don't have money to spend because from
Jalen Smith last year is Zekie Elliott obviously what they
did with the Mari Cooper a huge hunter billion dollar
contract and whatever becomes of Doc, whether it's he plays
in the franchise atack where they get a long term
agreement his salary cap number is gonna is gonna spike.

(01:11:50):
This is what happened to the Rams. You have five
or six super highly paid guys and then you just
have to have either really young players or veterans that
have some sort of issue coming off injury, coming off suspension,
guy on his last Like, that's what that's what you
do when you overpay for other positions. And this is
the Cowboys getting back to their own ways. I agree

(01:12:12):
with Doug and getting back to their old ways. It's
just doesn't seem that Jerry Jones looks at everything like
a Jalen Smith sort of situation where it works out
as opposed to maybe the other instances where it has
not worked out, where you have taken chances on guys
and brought them in. Look, there's an ego attached to
this move. It's it's similar to like I felt that

(01:12:32):
John Gruden brought in Nathan Peterman, and if you watched
Hard Knocks, whatever you can take from Hard Knocks, it
felt like Gruden was really doing all that he could
to try and make Nathan Peterman a quality NFL quarterback.
And I think that move had ego attached to it
because Gruden saw Nathan Peterman not work out in Buffalo
and he thought, well, I can fix him. And I

(01:12:52):
think people in the NFL have that ego that they
can be the one to fix them. I think Jerry
Jones has got the ego that he looks at a
player who's got a checkered past and says, well, I
can be the one to fix that guy. And this
feels a little bit like that move. And I also
think this is just and and and dougas talked about
this that Dallas has probably not made the best decisions

(01:13:14):
from a salary cap standpoint, and they're looking at an
offseason to where things are kind of up in the air.
There's a lot of people that feel like a Marie
Cooper was overpaid. There are people that feel like Zeke
Elliott is overpaid. There are people that feel like, you know,
DeMarcus Lawrence didn't live up to the contract he got,
and so Dallas is in a tough spot. Well, that
seems to be the the issue that I think. It's

(01:13:35):
the DeMarcus Lawrence factor. It's not necessary that you gave
Amari Cooper, you know, the amount of money that you did.
It was that, you know what you just paid DeMarcus
Lawrence a lot of money, five million dollars over five years,
and you aren't getting that production back that you would
have hoped, so you've got to figure out some way
to do it. I don't have a problem with it

(01:13:57):
in the aspect of It's like when we do a
fantasy football draft and you take a flyer on a
guy who retired latent. You know, in the off season,
you're like, you know what, it's a fourteenth round pick.
It's not gonna cost me anything. Maybe he'll come back.
I get what he's saying that they they have to
go to this sort of situation because of where they are,
But I don't think that the two are tied together

(01:14:20):
for the simple fact of I think any team that
would set up would try to take a low risk
sort of chance on a player like Alden Smith in hopes.
That's why Josh Gordon kept on getting work. Let's be honest,
I mean, because he had extreme talent. The Cowboys are
doing the same thing. Dan, This is a true story
in my fantasy league. After he got arrested, I signed

(01:14:40):
Aaron Hernandez. I'm not even and I'm not even saying
that as a joke because I thought, Okay, well, I mean,
nobody else wants him. If if he's cleared of charges,
then um, you know, I've I've got a quality player
on my roster. Now, I don't know if you know
the ending of that story, he wasn't cleared of charges. Yeah,
I'm aware. Yeah, so so I had I had ultimately
make the move, and it was for the best decision

(01:15:01):
of my organization. The Yeah, I don't mind. I don't
mind at all Dallas taking a chance on this. And
I don't think it's tied to Deck. I think that
this is just Jerry Jones, you know, in in what
Doug said, this is just his m O that he's
gonna try and you know, let's just try to take
these projects. It's why you know Randy Gregory fell. Remember

(01:15:22):
Lyle Collins, Remember his situation where he ends up being
tied to something that he didn't have a part of
in his draft stock completely falls apart. Yeah, this is
the same old, same old, same old. But it's not
because they gotta pay Dock and they gave him are
twenty million. It's because the Marcus Lawrence didn't live up
to his end of the bargain. Cowboys aren't even in

(01:15:42):
the top half of the NFL and sacks. You gotta
figure out a way to pressure the quarterback, um, Dan Buyer, Uh,
you've been accused of something on Twitter. I don't know
if you know this. Okay, gentleman named Rob not Rob Parker,
not Rob Gara, Uh not Rob Wriggle Uh not to

(01:16:02):
Rob Low. A gentleman by the name of Rob on Twitter,
writes in the following quote, Dan Buyer is a Putts.
He hates Tom Brady, hardly a secret at this point,
and likely and likely believes that Don mckowski would have
won eleven rings with Bill Belichick. Dan Buyer's opinions on

(01:16:23):
the Patriots don't matter. How do you want to stand,
how do you want to respond? You know? And I
think I've heard from Robb before and I have just
moved on from it. But there's a lot of validity
to what he said. Don Miikowski would have won a
Love and Super Bowls with the Patriots. It would have
been magic Man. You wouldn't even have had the Drew

(01:16:45):
bledsow era because the magic Man would have wield his
magic wand and turn everything to Golden Fox Burrow. I
mean he was across the line of scrimmage against the Bears,
But I mean, we don't need to bring up they
made T shirts in Wisconsin on that call. Absolutely damn cheaters.
After further review, the Bears still be sure to catch
the live edition of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at

(01:17:07):
three p m. Easter noon Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the I Heart Radio app. Three weeks from today,
it's the NFL draft teams finalizing their draft boards, whether
it be in their offices somewhere or their home offices somewhere,
or maybe even at a local brewery where apparently some

(01:17:29):
teams are thinking about holding their drafts. The NFL Draft
is three weeks away, and Jonas the NFL, as we've
talked about, has been the only thing that has really
kind of continued business as usual because there have been
no games. But in the off season, we had the Combine,
we had free agency, but what we didn't have were
a bunch of pro days for certain colleges where they

(01:17:50):
couldn't show off in front of NFL scouts. We didn't
have in house visits to teams by certain players, at
least before the deadline to stop those and end up happening.
So for many and some gms across the National Football League,
because of these restrictions, they've wanted to push the draft off,
put it to a later date. They have more of

(01:18:12):
an opportunity to gather things because they just maybe just
don't think it's fair right now that they can make
the decisions that are so vital to their teams without
doing so with that vital information. Well, tough Ball should
have been better prepared. Dan should should have prepared better.
Somebody taught me this one time, a little behind the
curtain here on Fox Sports Radio when I when I

(01:18:33):
first because I had done local updates in radio when
I first gotten into radio, and I thought I knew
how to do updates, and then I sat with Dan
to watch him do it, and I realized, okay, so
I'm terrible and then not true. But but while doing it,
one of the things that you told me was always
have stuff written down on paper just in case the

(01:18:55):
computer crashes and your your script that you have on
the computer, or always keep you know, keep writing stuff down,
like have stuff there, make adjustments so you're not just
so reliant on what's there. Have everything printed out ahead
of time in case anything bad happens, And wouldn't you
know it about the first two weeks in computer froze
and I'm scrambling around because I forgot that out of detail.

(01:19:17):
This is kind of like that. There's a lot of
people in the NFL. They are now complaining and now
scrambling trying to figure out how they're gonna make it,
how they're going to figure this out without all access
to all these other things that were coming along with it.
And those are the guys that are going to struggle
in this draft because you should have already had majority
of your evaluations done into this point. I don't feel

(01:19:38):
the least bit bad for any of these guys that
are complaining about it and wanting it to be pushed back.
You should have done your due diligence earlier. Michael Lombardi,
former NFL scout too, is well known throughout the media
circles and during his time, whether it being Cleveland or
in New England or other spots as well. Did a
piece on the Athletic and basically says, what you're saying

(01:19:59):
is listen, everybody should stop complaining and what's gonna end
up happening is the cream is going to rise to
the top where the actual talent evaluators will be able
to shine, or the scouts or teams who have great
scouts in certain areas are going to be able to
pull from those resources where another team maybe didn't have

(01:20:20):
as great as a a scouting set up and be
able to make their hay that way. And Lombardies point
in all of what of this was, do you think
that this was the case thirty years ago when you
you know, you couldn't have visits or you you can
face time back then, you you didn't have these sort
of things. And that's the his point is, this is

(01:20:41):
what they did in the mid nineteen eighties and trying
to evaluate players was you hopefully had some information on
a player from a school, even if it was a
small school, and you were able to rely on that.
But you're not sitting there being able to pull and
do all these different things and go to a pro
day at you know, at East Carolina or whatever the case.
Maybe this is how it once was. And I'll say

(01:21:02):
this to his point, and I know that the NFL
then was set up differently than it is today, so
parody wasn't much of a thing, but you also had
a lot of teams making a lot of good draft
picks a lot of times. That's why Ron Wolf is
Ron Wolf because of the moves that he ended up making,
whether it be with the Packers or Raiders or Jets
or whoever it was at the time, the guys made
their name based on this sort of stuff, and I

(01:21:24):
think we're going to see that in this draft. You
look growing up watching the draft. I know you're a
big fan of the draft. You remember like how excited
you would get when your team would be on the
clock and they'd have that football helmet phone and they'd
be on the football helmet phone and then they'd write
something down on a card and hand it over. Like
that was old school. It wasn't about all this, you know,
technology and tweeting and all that stuff to go along

(01:21:46):
with it. One of my favorite documentaries, and I don't
know if it's if it's done, if it's a thirty
for thirty or if it's done by NFL network. I
forget which one, but it's about the nineteen eight three
quarterback draft class, which was John l Way and Dan
you know, and Jim Kelly and Ken O'Brien, Um and
Todd Blackledge and all these all these quarterbacks that were

(01:22:07):
such big names, and it was about how John Elway
ended up in denver Um, why Jim Kelly ended up
where he went, Dan Marino, so on and so forth,
how Howe Long was nearly traded to the Bears in
a deal early on in the drest like there was.
It's fascinating to see how that those teams were built.
And if you go back and watch that, they didn't

(01:22:29):
have any There was no you know, tweeting, there was
no television production set there with fifty thous cameras and
coverage wall to wall. It literally was you write something
down on a piece of paper and you handed over.
It was old school. This can be done. It's it's
not the end of the world. And considering how fortunate

(01:22:50):
the NFL is to have had this pandemic hit this
country and and in the craze and hysteria to go
along with it, To have it hit after your season's over,
when you don't have a season coming up for another
six months, the NFL should be fortunate. And it's exactly
why Roger Goodell didn't want to hear anybody complaining about
going on with the draft and threatened to punish people

(01:23:12):
because it's a short sighted view of what's really going
on in the world. If your biggest complaint is the
fact that you can't go to a pro day in Columbia,
South Carolina, give me a break. I also think it's
interesting when we heard the reports that there were some
NFL gms, because it's not all and there there there,
there are NFL gms that, like you said, like Michael
Lombardi said in his piece in The Athletic, that are

(01:23:35):
going to make Hay that this is going to be
their opportunity. And let's be real. The reason why guys
are not happy with this or want the change, it's
not because of the time. It's because it's their job
and their job is on the line, and that they
will be exposed for what they do or they don't

(01:23:58):
have in their front office. That is why certain teams
will always be able to fall back on, say analytics
or certain numbers. And I'm not I'm not an anti
analytics guy, but I think a lot of times Jonas
guys just point to numbers and say, well, I made
the decision that the numbers showed me, or that that
I should do. And this is why trying to take

(01:24:18):
all of the risk out of it. Now you have
an opportunity to really show your stuff. And there are
front offices that just aren't equipped to do this, that
will set the franchise back, that will cost them their jobs.
But don't be mistaken that they're looking up for the
good of the league. They just want to make sure
that they can keep their jobs, and that's why they're
out complaining. I totally agree. It's like when people cite

(01:24:39):
qb R and they go, what you know, so and
so has a great QBR. Okay, what goes into a QBR?
I don't know, So why do you point to it? Like?
Like what? Like why why do you continue to point
to a QBR? Nobody can clearly definitively tell you what
actually a QBR consists of, but everybody just wants to
point to that. And it's where the old school ment

(01:25:00):
lality of look, I know his measurables maybe aren't this,
or I know I didn't get to see him do this,
but I watched him on tape. And if you talk
to enough scouts and Bucky Brooks is a scout here, Dan,
you've done a bunch of shows of them. I've done
a bunch of shows of them. They'll always tell you
the most important thing to look at is your game tape.
It's the tape from college. They want to see you

(01:25:21):
in a game situation. We don't want to hear how
great you are just because you you had great measurables
at a combine or what you were able to do
it a pro day in a game environment. What were
you able to do and especially in a big game environment.
So I actually think this is beneficial to guys who
played at Ohio State, who played at Alabama, who played

(01:25:41):
at l s U. Because you're gonna go back to
watch the biggest games of the season and how they performed,
and if you performed well there, I think you're more
likely to go maybe higher than you would normally go
if if if executives get caught up in the numbers
like they normally do. The flip side of that is
and I think that this and I don't believe that
it's it's truly the g m's cause at heart. But

(01:26:02):
the flip side is what about the smaller school guys,
what about the D three guys? But I will say
this that there there are enough gms that it may
not be. It may it's not gonna be all D
three guys because there are gms who know about D
three guys. It's just that I think maybe if there
was just a year, we'll just we'll just use five

(01:26:23):
as in the normal Let's say five Division three guys
get drafted. Maybe this year it's only one or two
because of the current status. So unfortunately, the NFL dreams
of guys three, four and five may not be realized
or may not have turned out like it would have
been a normal year. However, I do think the team's
taking those guys from D three that have enough confidence

(01:26:47):
in their own stuff that will truly benefit and that
again separates, you know, the good from the greats, or
the great from the bad. So the teams that are
prepared will already have known about the Division three guy.
It's why Bill Belichick went to Middle Tennessee to work
out the you know, the player of the day before
the combine when everybody else was in Indianapolis. It's those

(01:27:08):
types of things. So you're gonna see the front offices
that we feel that are great in New England, or
in Pittsburgh or in Seattle. Maybe making making hay where
others wouldn't be able to as much. It's like a
it's like a pop quiz. It's a surprise test. They
tell you something's coming up, um, you know, make sure
you're prepared, and then you don't really take them serious

(01:27:29):
because you kind of forget about and all of a
sudden you show it back up to school on a
Monday and they say, all right, pop quiz time, here's
your test. The people that took it seriously and did
the work are gonna be okay. The people that didn't
and we're just assuming things were gonna go on as
planned and they'll figure it out when the time arrives,
those are the people that are going to get screwed.
And I think, what what it's gonna end up happening

(01:27:51):
is you're a lot of these area scouts, the ones
who didn't really do their job and didn't actually take
it as serious. And it's like profession. There's some guys
who are really all about it and take it serious,
and then there are other guys who don't take it
quite as serious. Those guys who were on the road
doing the work, putting in the time are the guys
that are going to be most valuable. And the ones

(01:28:13):
that were out there who were collecting a paycheck or
maybe kind of you know, hanging out and and mingling
a little bit more than they should have been watching
the game and watching these players that were out there.
Those are guys that are going to be exposed. Yeah,
the guys that are going to drop in This draft
is too and that those guys who are exposed are
gonna make it a lot nicer for the gms that
are actually prepared. Dan Buyer Jonas Knox in for Doug

(01:28:34):
Gottlieb here on Fox Sports Radio. You can check out
the show on the I Heart Radio app. You can
get Dan on Twitter at Dan Buyer on Fox All Right.
Coming up next, we're going to talk with a former
NFL scout about this exact issue and find out what
surprises could be in store at the end of the month.
That's next year on FSR. Be sure to catch the

(01:28:55):
live edition of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three
p m. Easter noon Pacific. Sure as the Dug gottliam Show.
You just don't have Doug today, I'm Dan Buyer, He's
Jonas Knocks. John Ramos goes for one million dollars at
the bottom of the hour, just two lifelines left in
his question of who wants to be a millionaire? NFL

(01:29:15):
Draft Edition? What a tease. I can just imagine, like
if you're just sitting at home right now, you're in
quarantine and you find out, oh my god, he's going
for a million dollars like that, that is that's amazing.
Maybe fake million dollars. Who knows? Tuned in and listen
to see how John ramos uh fairs in his quest
as And I think it's timely because it is returning

(01:29:37):
next week, Jimmy Kimmel hosting a celebrity edition, So this
kind of what's your appetite for that? So you can
at least get excited about, Yeah, who wants to be
a millionaire? Although Steve ja Sager made it a point
to let everybody know that Regis's hair is completely white,
it was a it was a quick flash. I did
see that as well and thought to myself, it's funny

(01:30:00):
I watch in this quarantine time. Always liked the game
show Networks and Watch. We've watched a little bit more
at home than you normally would just with games not
being on. It's funny on how many quiz show games, Jonas,
we'll have the contestant answer who is blank? When the
game's not even Jeopardy, they'll they'll still put the who

(01:30:20):
is in front of it like it's the only game show.
It's the only way you can answer in game shows. Yeah,
I I uh. That's the one thing that always annoyed
me about Jeopardy. You have to answer it in proper form?
Can I just give the name of the guy? Like?
Do I gotta do the who is? What is? It
always bothered me. I don't like it. You could say
who is? John Middlecoff, But we all know the former
NFL scout and frequent guest here on Fox Sports Radio

(01:30:42):
as he joins us now three weeks out from the
NFL Draft. Hello, John, going to talk to you. How
are you doing? What's going on? Yeah? Talking game shows,
talking this and that. But we were also talking about
Michael Lombardi of former NFL Scouts saying that the cream
is basically going to rise to the top in three
weeks in the NFL Draft because some of the limited resources.

(01:31:02):
How do you think front offices are going to play
this out with the and I'll use the air quotes
of limited resources, without some of the pro days, without
some of the in house visits, How do you think
things shape out three weeks from today when the draft begins.
You know, that's a good question. I've heard a lot
of theories. I think there's so much unknown. I was
just reading an article. You know, the Saints announced yesterday

(01:31:24):
they're doing it at a brewery. Uh Andy Reid, I think,
spoke to the local media today and said that they
might do it at a hotel, but in different rooms,
depending on you know, what the restrictions are by then.
I think it's very open end right now. I don't
think you can just say we're only going to draft
high character guys and any guy was off the field
issue is gonna fall because we know that just I mean,

(01:31:44):
Alton Smith got signed yesterday. So guys are talented. This
is football, This isn't They're not trying to set the
moral standard. I I do think the medical stuff. Any
player that you know you weren't able to get rechecked,
that didn't go to the combine is probably be in
trouble with getting drafted if there are medical questions. I
think more for the medical stuff, if there are question

(01:32:06):
marks with concussions, you know, just you weren't able to
get the guy back into your facility to talk to
your own personal doctors and your trainers. That's gonna hurt
players more than you know, questionable. I it doesn't feel
like we have that many questionable characters, at least not
the top end ones that have had famous, you know,
off the field incidents. Obviously, that happens to a lot

(01:32:26):
of guys, you know, especially in the mid rounds a
player at a program got arrested or suspended. But you know,
I've been in the draft sometimes like if they think
the guy can play, that gets overlooked, especially if the
guys owned up to it. Uh So, I think it's
gonna be a huge, huge kind of learning process for
everyone because typically right there's there's probably a handful of

(01:32:48):
trades average in the first round, let's say three to four.
I feel like there's been more lately, but definitely once
we get to the second and third rounds, right, you
any given pick and get traded for future seconds, for thirds, fifths, whatever.
I do think that's gonna be a little more difficult.
Just reading some of these articles and thinking about having
been in the room. Logistically how it works. I mean,
you've got a room besides like Belichick that i've i've

(01:33:09):
heard has like a room of five. Most teams have
a you know, people in there and everyone kind of
has a role. You call this guy, you do this.
What's the value here? What players do we have here?
It gets a little more difficult, right if you're doing
it on zoom, if you're doing it, you know, remotely,
if you've got guys in different rooms. I wonder if
the trades, uh, not big trades, like if you wanted

(01:33:32):
a trade for two or something like that, back can
still get done, but just your random like hey we'll
move up here for a third for next year's fourth,
but you know, are happening kind of rapid fire. I
wonder if those happened as much. John Middlecop joining us
here on Fox Sports Radio. He is a former NFL scout,
also the host of the three and Out podcast on
the Herd podcast Network. Uh Dan vier Jonas knocks in

(01:33:54):
for Doug got Leep here odd Fox Sports Radio. Being
a former scout, John, what do you think this sort
of unique circumstance of being applied to this year's draft,
What would be the biggest effect this would have on
just specifically scouts during the process, well during the pro days.
You know, I think when we talk about the combine,
right the star star players get highlighted in the combine,

(01:34:17):
and everything's happening so fast, you get a small amount
of time to talk to players, especially underclassmen. There are
a lot of underclassmen that come out that go in
the second, third, fourth round, whatever. But when you go
to the pro day and you're able to then usually
set up a meeting maybe with the position coach that
because during the season you didn't know the guy was
gonna come out. You may if the guy's legitimate, you know,

(01:34:38):
second round pick, maybe your position coach on your team
is there with you. Maybe you take that guy to dinner. Uh,
maybe you do it after the pro day. Maybe you
spend time with them, you know, before the pro day
in a meeting room with your position coach or just you,
or just you and one of the assistants on his
college staff, and you just get a better feel feel
for the person because at the end of the day,

(01:35:00):
you're you're you're drafting a guy to play football for you.
But I think for the most part, once the guy,
most guys are gonna get drafted. Let's say, have the
have the legit talent, Like there's a percentage of guys
that probably shouldn't get drafted to do but for whatever reason, measurables, hype, whatever,
But most guys have the talent. What makes or breaks

(01:35:22):
them is the person, right, how hard they're gonna work,
what football means to them, just how they're wired as
a person. And that's this type stuff. If you haven't
spent much time around these guys, you're just going off
second hand, right, most of us in all of our professions,
if you're gonna get hired for a job, you're getting
your references, but it's not your references aren't getting you hired. Ultimately,

(01:35:42):
you have to interview with someone, whether what if you're
a radio host with the p D or whether you're
a football player with the head coach or general manager.
And that's not gonna happen in person. I know what's
happening in Skype and zoom or whatever, but we all
know it's it's a little different than having dinner with
a guy that's gonna be your boss and having an
internet call. I think that's because it is a people business.

(01:36:06):
I mean all businesses are, but definitely football and how
much is asked of you, the pressure that comes on
as a player. Uh, and you're just gonna have a
hard time getting to know the guy for yourself. I mean,
you'll know what other people have told you about the player,
his coaches, his you know, the recruiting guys at the school,
the head coach, the trainers, all that stuff. But you like,

(01:36:27):
if you're gonna get in the meeting or tell your
general manager we should draft this guy in the third round,
do you like to feel comfortable like I've spent some
time around him, and it's just that's gonna be pretty
hit or miss with with the players in this draft.
Former NFL Scott John Middlcoff joining us here on Fox
Sports Radio, host of the Three and Out podcast on
the Herd Radio Network. The This may be a question
that you can't answer because everything is an unknown, John,

(01:36:50):
But are we going to get to a point when
this draft takes place that teams may have to consider
how much guys will actually be in the building before
the season starts in And I'll just use an example
to try to make it. Would you maybe be hesitant
to taking say a quarterback instead of just taking a
guy who can get after, you know, get after the
quarterback because there isn't as much classroom work to do.

(01:37:12):
Do you think that could be an issue coming up
during the draft? Yeah, you know, I think that's start
you start overthinking it, you start getting into things that
are out of your control. Uh yeah, I I don't. Again,
you might get a different answer if you talk to
ten general managers. But I would imagine the big picture ones,
you know, hopefully for all of us right in and

(01:37:33):
out of football, that this can go away and we
can fix this problem and we can one day get
past it and we don't have to worry about this
coming back. But right now, this is the reality. There's
still once you draft a player, you're gonna be able
to have virtual meetings with them. You can text with
the coach, you know, so you're still gonna have a
lot of communication and players. And I think quarterbacks specifically

(01:37:57):
is a good example, like you said, because it entails
the most. Right, you got to know the entire playbook.
You I gotta know what everyone's doing. But if you're
gonna take a quarterback, and let's just say in the
top couple rounds, obviously, the first round. Guys, you're gonna
go no matter what. But like maybe you're thinking, well,
we need a really good backup when we take this
guy in the third round, or should we take another
quarterback or I mean another position. I think you still

(01:38:18):
have to take the quarterback because if you're if you're
willing to draft a quarterback, you gotta think pretty highly
of the guy. You shouldn't be drafting a dumb quarterback. Well,
let me rephrase it this way. Was that the dumbest
question you've ever No, But you know what's the what's
the famous line? There's no dumb questions, just dumb people.
I think in this situation. In this situation, though, every

(01:38:41):
question you're you're you know, if you're a general manager,
a scout, a coach, if you're not asking every question possible,
you're a moron. Because everything's on the table right now.
So that question is all these things are being discussed.
You know, what if? What if? Worst case scenario, we
don't have a season, so we get a guy. Do
we for us this guy for the next six months

(01:39:03):
to be a member of our team and we're not
even to be able to be around them, right? I mean,
you just never know. So I think that they're having
conversations just like in every business that you never I
mean as unprecedented times you just never imagine you'd have
the I mean, we've all we're all in California. We've
been quarantined for two we can't do it. The restaurants
aren't what. We can't do anything, and it's just kind

(01:39:24):
of becoming every day that goes by, it honestly becomes,
in a weird way, a little more normal. Right. It's like, yeah,
I'm just gonna stay at home, maybe go for a walk,
and that's it. I mean, this is my life. So
I think that the coaches, at least, I mean, we
got four teams in the in California. I can't speak
for every state, but it sure feels like reading just
Twitter and stuff, most teams are coaches and general managers

(01:39:46):
are at home, so that yeah, they've got to be
asking some crazy, crazy questions right now. John, last one
for me, John Middlekoff joining us here on Fox Sports Radio,
former NFL Scout, host of the Three and out on
the Herd podcast network. Uh, you can listen to to
their John's and stuff. They're always good stuff here on
FS are Dan Buyer, Jonas knocks in for deg Gottlieb.

(01:40:07):
Which organizations from people you talk to being around the
NFL and having conversations, which organizations do you think are
best suited to have success in this draft without the
lack of pro days and everything else heading into it.
That's a great question. I actually think this is gonna
come down to like the people that we've never heard of, right,

(01:40:29):
because when the whole process happens like normal, the same
general managers tend to kick everyone's butts. You're in, you're
out right, the Ravens, the Eagles, the obviously Belichick, Andy
Reid and Beach Pete and John Schneider because once they
get all the information, they tend to just build better teams.
I think this one, general managers, you are gonna be very,

(01:40:51):
very reliant on the people like me. Once upon a time,
no one had ever heard of me. I was just
doing the West coast, and you're scout in different areas
that would go into Let's say, you know, Louisville has
that tackle that's supposed to go in the top ten.
It's gotten in there three or four, you know, multiple times,
or gotten into Alabama or l s U and just like,
trust me, I talked to these guys. I have really

(01:41:13):
tight relationships, and you're gonna that's gonna happen because one
thing you see, like when you watch NFL Network during
once the big pro day start happening, you're like, oh,
there's Joe Burrows Pro Day and there's like seven general
managers there. Well, they're getting sweet information because anytime the
decision maker shows up on campus, everyone wants to talk
to them. Those guys aren't getting that opportunity now, so
they're gonna depend on their guy, the boots on the
ground really to funnel them information. I think it's gonna

(01:41:37):
be a fascinating kind of look back, right, you know,
in three or four years, Like God, this team really
took advantage of this draft. It will probably speak you
know to what hits home for me. The scouting staff,
the guys that don't really ever get talked about, because
usually as the process goes along, the general managers and
the coaches sometimes can take it over. Right, just you know,
the head coach and the coordinators, and they make the

(01:41:59):
most money and they should, right, I mean, they should
play a big role. But you do all this work
in the fall and I think more than ever before.
You're gonna have to depend on these guys to be like,
if I'm telling you, I heard from seven people, I
would this guy does not treat people well. We don't
want him in the building. And it's one of those
that sometimes when the head coach goes in, he's like, well,
actually they told me this, and then three years later

(01:42:21):
the guy is still a bad guy and like, I
told you, but that's not really gonna happen this year.
So you're gonna be depended on just the little guy,
you know, that went in there to the fall and
did a job that oftentimes, let's just face it, gets overlooked.
We always depend on John Middlecoff. We appreciate his time.
Find him on Twitter at John Middlcoff. We appreciate it, John.
We'll do it again soon. CFL S They saved. Be

(01:42:43):
sure to catch the live edition of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three p m. Easter noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app that
is The Doug gottlip Show. Here on Fox Sports Radio,
he's Jonas knocks on, Dan Buyer and John Ramos Quest
for a Million dollars, continues, Who wants to be a millionaire?

(01:43:03):
NFL Draft Edition? Ryan Music? The Ryan Music is the
executive producer helped John get a thousand dollars earlier with
his phone of friend and the audience had to come
in to save John for one of the questions. But
the good thing to know is John is alive and
well with two lifelines left and three questions away from
a million dollars? John, are you ready to play for

(01:43:27):
one hundred thousand dollars? John? Which of these teams has
never had the first overall pick in the NFL Draft?
Is it a the Dallas Cowboys be the New England Patriots,
see the Pittsburgh Steelers or d the Denver Broncos. Your
lifeline that you have left are fifty fifty and Steve please,

(01:43:52):
and there's three questions left? Correct? Yes, you're at one
hundred thousand dollars. You have five hundred thousand dollars and
a million dollar question to go. Yet if you choose
a John, just in case you forgot, you don't ask
the questions here we do. It's the Broncos, the Cowboys,
the Steelers, and the Jets. Right A Dallas Cowboys be

(01:44:14):
New England Patriots, see Pittsburgh Steelers, D Denver Broncos, the Jets.
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna have to do. How are
you thinking about this? What do you think stand out?
None of them stand out? Actually, I was trying to

(01:44:34):
think there was like one of them that would be like,
oh yeah, that team definitely had the number one pick.
But cheese. If you take two away, Dan, I think
that might help me narrow it down. Okay, well I
can't do it. The computer, will computer? Will you take
two answers away for John Ramos as he uses his
fifty fifty lifeline? Okay, John, which of these teams has

(01:44:57):
never had the first overall pick? Is it A the
Dallas Cowboys or d the Denver Broncos. I'm gonna say
it's the Dallas. Still got a lifeline there named Steve.
Just a heads up, just I just this is this
is only a programming note. Okay, Troy Aikman will not

(01:45:20):
be with us tomorrow here on the duck comment. I'm
thinking extra hard and I'm I'm gonna go and change
that one. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say it's the
Denver Broncos. Denver Broncos. Interesting, j what was your thought

(01:45:40):
process through that? It's just you narrowed it down to
actually until the host said, well, it went down to
and I'm thinking the Cowboys have had a couple of
number one pick. I'm just gonna say, Denver Broncos. All right,
is that your final answer? It is my final It
was d the Denver I thought. I thought for sure

(01:46:05):
the Jets are going to sneak in and again John
roalmos getting more second chances than the Soviet basketball I mean, Steve,
I don't know what race has to do with anything here.
This is just completely random, but just to fill in
the in the listener, the Dallas Cowboys selected Troy Aikman

(01:46:26):
first overall. I knew that. Also, Russell Maryland was the
first overall pick for the Dallas Cowboys. Patriots drew Bledsell,
Steelers drafted Terry Breadshaw first overall. All. Right, John, you're
at a hundred thousand dollars with one lifeline left, that
is that is Steve Fleas. Would you like to go
for five thousand dollars? The teams to get easier each question? Dan, Yeah,

(01:46:48):
and I'm gonna rab it, go for it. John. In
the NFL Draft. Which team at the first two overall picks?
Was it the a Tampa Bay Buccaneers, be Indianapolis Colts,
see Cleveland Browns or d New Orleans Saints. NFL Draft

(01:47:14):
one team and the first two selections. Can I just
think out loud? Yes? Absolutely, m I feel like the
Saints weren't very good back then, so I'm thinking maybe
they had the first two picks. The other team seemed
like they they would have been good. The Saints interesting

(01:47:36):
the Saints. No, you know you've got Steve Man. You've
got Steve Please. Maybe we'll have to add a knox
Nose or Knoxville. It's getting kind of windy in here. Yeah,

(01:47:57):
I'm guys, another the horseplay. Let's be serious here. Yeah.
Can I get a cult? Can you give me those?
Because I was feeling New Orleans because they're not very good?
Give me the other three? The Buccaneers in their long
history of winning eighties in early nineties, it was the

(01:48:21):
Bunking Ears, Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland brown is another winner in
the New Orleans Saints. I'm gonna think I'm thinking the
Cults maybe. Okay, exterest thing, is that your final answer?
Why don't you come to back. That's my final answer, John,

(01:48:46):
you just won five oh man, unbelievable runs. We're actually
making the playoffs back. Hey, by the way, Steve Epman
and Quentin Coreyott one and two yes, good god, line

(01:49:06):
all defense man. Wow. John Ramos is a question away
from a million dollars. This is a run, and and
the fact that he's done it with so little assistant
stand it's just even more impressive. I know, I know,
it's it's really been amazing. I think. Yeah, we've I mean,

(01:49:27):
Steve basically called him a communist. Two questions. Oh man,
we're gonna have to continue this next Jo Ramos goes
for a million dollars. Yeah, oh man, I can't wait.
I didn't I'm sorry. I was just gonna tell John
I didn't expect these last two questions to take forty
eight minutes. Dan Buyer Jonas Knox in for Doug Gotlievier

(01:49:50):
on Fox Sports Radio. If you have any words of
wisdom for John Ramos as he goes for a million
dollars at j S Ramos zero six, John tries to
do the unthinkable. Next year on FSR, be sure to
catch the live edition of the Doug gott Leap Show
weekdays at three p m. Easter noon Pacific. Darn sure

(01:50:12):
is just Doug's not here? Jonas knocks is. I'm Dan Bayer.
We are sitting in for Doug today. We hope to
get to the press in just a few minutes where
Steve Disagra will get us the latest headlines of the day.
But we have some other matters to quick wrap up.
Is John Ramos is on the verge of winning one
million dollars in our who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
NFL Draft game? Amazing Jonas that John is lasted this

(01:50:35):
far and still has a lifeline available. Yeah, it's amazing
that it took him an hour and a half to
figure out that Ryan Leaf was drafted second mind Payton man. Remember,
I can understand why he was kind of confused because
it was the Manning Leaf Wadsworth question, you know, like

(01:50:57):
do you go Andre Wadsworth first, overall all or does
he drop to three or then? Courtesy and has brought
into that. All right, you're ready to go for a
minute for a million dollars, John Ramos, Let's see will
I do it or won't I? Yes, I am going
to I could have walked. You have one lifeline. Laugh,

(01:51:18):
That is Steve who thinks you could have walked in
a in a lifeline we call Steve please, one of
the most important lifelines. By the way, I believe since night,
there's only been one draft where a quarterback was not
taken in the first round. What year was it? Was
it A B six C two thousand three or D

(01:51:47):
two thousand seven? Oh jeez, I'm I'm feeling like maybe, um,
quarterbacks were less like running back were more prevalent earlier on,
so maybe quarterbacks later on less you know, relevance, Dan,
I have a quick question for you. Um, I know

(01:52:08):
we have a Steve please? Is there a pro football reference? Please? Dan?
I think this is a very important answer to give,
and I just can't do it on my own. I've
done all the rest on my own, and I need
someone someholp on this last. I'm gonna go with Steve please.
All right, it's your final lifeline. We bring in Steve

(01:52:30):
to Seger to maybe help John with this. The one
year since nine eight that there were no quarterbacks taken
in the first round. Was it A B C two
thousand three or D two thousand seven? Well, if it
were the recent years, you think we would have remembered it.

(01:52:50):
So John, can we just cut out the two most
recent years on earth like that? Um? What was it? H?
Three oh seven? Yes? Wow, Um, it's a tough one man,
that is. I'm not completely certain, but let's go with

(01:53:13):
even for me personally, even Steve at not certain is
better than me at certain. So I'll to go with
nineteen ninety six. I believe it. For a million dollars,
you're gonna put it all on ninety John Ramos is
not your final answer. It is Dan. The last time

(01:53:36):
a quarterback was not taken in the first round of
an NFL draft was nineteen ninety six. Let's look at
the crowd, Suzanne. Oh my god, Lucas is caught in

(01:53:57):
a klaw machine. If somebody could get him out, we
got a big check for John to hand over. Wow.
Thanks Steve, that was unbelievable. Great run by me and iable.
Oh oh man, great stuff, John Ramos. It sounds like
Ricky Henderson's acceptance speaking. I'd like to thank myself. JaMarcus

(01:54:17):
Russell Brady Quinn, who will be on the show tomorrow.
Jonas's partner on the weekends, in the OH seven draft,
Carson Palmer first overall in OH three Jeff George taken
first overall in no quarterbacks in the first round of
the draft. Wo yeah, I feel good. I've received Actually
nothing that's enough, Steve. One item we were gonna get

(01:54:39):
to is that if and when baseball returns an item
of suggestion from Justin Turner of the Dodgers. Since it's
going to be a cramp schedule and maybe multiple double headers,
how bad if the game is tied after ten innings.
Just this year in the major leagues, you hold a
home run derby to decide the winner. I got a
better idea. How about the whole season be a home

(01:54:59):
run der Yes, there it is. Save you three hours
of your time. Why don't we just bring bring unicycles
out and have people juggle in between innings while we're
at it. Also, former Jaguar star lineman Tony Baselli is
recovering from COVID nineteen. Says he's not a hundred percent yet,
but a lot better than before, and that he'd spent
five days in intensive care. Very good news to hear. Yeah,

(01:55:23):
he was in the Hall of Fame. By the way,
the Jaguars By the way, he was their first overall
selection of the franchise. The Jaguars one of four teams
to not have a to never have the first overall
pick because that year they came in with Carolina. Carolina
got the first overall pick. By the way, how about
the fact that Blamee Gabbert, of all the quarterbacks taken
in the first round of the two thousand eleven draft,

(01:55:45):
is the only guy currently employed in the NFL had
that right. I'd bet a million dollars on it if
it was John Ramis's money.
