Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. Yes, we made it to a Friday. It's
our one. Come on in and it's a meat Friday,
and that means the triggers are fired up. And a
case you're wondering living vicariously through our grills. Smoked pork
chops with balsamic glaze, mashed red potatoes and honey glazed carrots.
(00:24):
Who has it better than we knew? No Pole question,
Play of the Day, stat of the Day, all of
that forthcoming. Mike Florio got verbally spanked by Bruce Arians yesterday.
Floria will join us coming up a little bit later
on this hour. Rex Chapman, former NBA Garden, he's been
working with Turners Sports. The Big Unit, Randy Johnson. His
(00:46):
name came up yesterday when I was talking to Charles Barkley,
Big Unit. I don't know if he was listening or
somebody he knows was listening, and they relaid the message.
So Big Unit's going to join us coming up next hour,
and we'll talk to Bubba Watson, two time Masters champ.
We'll get his thoughts on Tiger Woods playing and Bubba
heading to Augusta a little bit later on this morning,
(01:09):
Saturday got Final four Villanova, Kansas, North Carolina and Duke.
Another big night for Jannis as he takes down the
Natzy and overtime scoring forty four fifty Fordamar de Rosen,
the Rams pick up Bobby Wagner, Bruce Arian says see
you later, and Todd Bowles is introduced. If you would
have said last week, hey, by the way, Bruce Arian's
(01:32):
not going to be coaching anymore in the NFL, but
Tiger is going to be playing in the Masters, And
you go, huh, it feels like every day, maybe every
week where you go, I didn't think that was going
to happen. I'm surprised, and something will happen next week.

show Big Day to Day April Fools Day. By the way,
if you do have an April fools Day joke and
you're in the business, you got to make sure it's
a clever one. You can't go Tiger is not playing
in the Masters, and you have to make it where
it's or maybe vice versa. You got to make it
where it's cute. It's interesting, it's different, not something that
(02:15):
is really headline worthy, where it does change how people
approach you a story. And you know, the greatest one
of all time was Sports Illustrated when they created this
fictional baseball character Sid Finch, SidD Finch, and this was
the great Frank to Ford. And it was wonderful because
(02:37):
I remember reading it and I went, I can't I
can't believe this guy throws this hard. Never heard of him.
And then you started to see some of the breadcrumbs
there that we're leading you to. It's April Fool's Day,
but you dive into that article and you just kept
turning the page and going, oh my god, I can't
wait to see this guy. Well, I think they said
(02:59):
he threw one hundred forty eight miles an hour. That
should have been the tip off, but you wanted to
believe it. By the way, it's also my puppy. It's
Winnie's birthday to day. Winnie turns one to day and
if you're watching on Peacock, Tyler, who takes care of
Winnie in the morning, plays with Winnie, is wearing the
pajamas that we got him for Christmas. My wife got
(03:22):
Winnie's face on his pajamas, So Tyler is wearing his
pajamas today. Poll question, play of the day, stat of
the day seating What kind of poll question do you
have for special day for young Winnie? By the way,
buy any dog treats, say fifty percent on the I

(03:43):
Who had the best week? Jannis Ante to Kumpo Bobby
we like showing off by pronouncing his name correctly, maybe
a little bit Okay, Yeah, I'm sorry. So that first
option was Jannis Ante to Compo Bobby Wagner coach k
Todd Bowles. I'm gonna throw Shaheen Holloway on there because
(04:04):
see that jumped from Saint Peter's de Seaton Hall. It's
pretty nice. Other he got any other suggestions? Who else
had a big week this week? Tiger Tiger had I
think had a good week, potentially a good week, potentially
a good week. See I think the Greek freak. If
I'm looking at bigger picture, I know that the Greek
Freak in a couple of weeks could win the MVP
(04:26):
based off which happened this past week that he took
down the seventy six ers, in Joe Lnb took down
the nets KD this we might look back on this
and say won the MVP in those two games, maybe
Todd Bowles. You know, I'm glad that Todd Bowles is
getting a second chance. Anybody who coaches the Jets should
always get a second chance with another quality team. Yes point,
(04:49):
But most guys when they get a chance to be
a head coach, they're taking over team where the team
stinks and a coach has been fired. How many guys
get handed a team with Tom Brady and a top
three favorite to in the Super Bowl. Yes, I know,
doesn't happen, and I'm glad that he got that opportunity.
Mike Tomlin going into the Steelers got an opportunity to
take over a blue blood franchise there. But Todd Bowles
(05:12):
takes over for Bruce Arians and you got Tom Brady
at least for another year. What else do you have, Seaton, Well,
we have another one for a little later on that
I don't know that I'm ready to get into. It's
a little more personal personal, perhaps to my back row mate.
Oh this is Todd related. Is this hour two Todd related?
(05:35):
Depending on how you want our three to go? Oh,
is it going to take over the show? I don't
know if it's going to take over the show, but
it's gonna that's gonna dominate his mind space for sure. Oh,
we don't want that as late as we can in
the show. I don't want to ruin his week. Yeah,
all right, so that'll be a little bit later on.
By the way, back in twenty seventeen, Yankees look like
contenders for the World Series. Unfortunately for them, they ran
(05:58):
into the Houston ast That was the same year the
Astros were spanked for stealing signs. That story hasn't gone away,
because yesterday the Yankees GM Brian Cashman threw more fuel
on that fire. He claims the only reason the Yankees
haven't made a World Series since two thousand and nine
was due to the Astros actions in twenty seventeen. That's right,
(06:20):
I'll say it again. The only reason the Yankees haven't
made it to a World Series since O nine was
due to what Houston did in twenty seventeen. We know
what Houston did was wrong, but the Yankees calling out
Houston is just a little bit like the pot calling
the kettle black because guests who was fined that same
season for stealing signs? You're New York Yankees. But the
(06:43):
story has been swept under the rug. But unfortunately for
the Yankees, the US Second Circuit Court ruled a letter
containing information on the Yankees sign stealing has to be
made public, and New York better hope that document doesn't
implicate them any further, because if it does, the Yankee
finger pointing the past five years is going to be
a really, really bad look for them. Now. The article
(07:07):
was in The Athletic. Andy McCullough wrote an article on
the Yankees and Brian Cashman, and Brian Cashman said the
only thing that stopped us was something that was so
illegal and horrific. Cashman told The Athletic. So I get
offended when I started hearing we haven't been to the
World Series since O nine, because I'm like, well, I
(07:28):
think we actually did it the right way, pulled it down,
brought it back up, drafted well, traded, well developed, well
signed well. The only thing that derailed us was a
cheating circumstance that threw us off. He goes on to
say people are like, oh, we haven't been to a
World Series, and I'm like, yeah, I don't think that's
a true statement as it could be. We had a
(07:50):
World Series team and you either get it done or
you don't. Well, there's a couple of things here. He
has a point about that year, but the previous years.
What does that have to do with twenty seventeen. If
the Mets have been to more World Series then the
(08:11):
Yankees have in the last decade, I gotta do some
finger pointing at the Yankees. I think you've spent a
lot of money. How's that gen Carlos Stanton investment working there?
You've spent money, You've had money to spend, and now
you have some competition because the Dodgers are now, oh
we'll take Freddie Freeman, Carlos Correa, the Twins got him.
(08:35):
You don't even have a shortstop. So I have to
look at this that. Okay, Astros cheated. They won a
World Series title, all right, fair, Okay. You know who
was the ring leader or one of the main ring
leaders for the Astros and the cheating scandal. Carlos Beltron.
Guess which team he was with prior to joining the Astros.
(08:57):
The Yankees. He'd just all of a sudden, go, hey,
I'm going to Houston. Hey what about cheating? Did they
do anything nefarious with the Yankees there? How about some
of the players you've employed. You won a World Series
title with Aron and Andy Pettitt. So this is brought
up by Brian. I didn't bring it up. Ryan did.
(09:20):
And nobody's feeling sorry for the Yankees. I mean, it's
really hard to go. You know, I feel sorry for
the Yankees. Maybe that year, okay, but the other years
I can't. It's not like you you haven't been in
the World Series prior to twenty seventeen because you kept
thinking in your mind somewhere down the road, somebody's gonna
(09:41):
be stealing signs, and that's why we're not going to
be in the World Series for you know, these eight
years prior to Yeah, pauling the other thing. Having two
hundred and fifty million dollars to spend every year, it
makes us so confusing. Who by yeah, let me see,
do we want Garrett Cole? Okay, we'll take one of those,
and we'll take one of those. That's the way it
used to be. So all of those you know, World
(10:04):
Series titles where you not only we're drafting players developing players,
you kept all of those players because I hear Yankee
fans going, hey, you know they developed Jeter and Bernie
Williams and Nandy Petton, they drafted them, and they're like, yes,
but all the other teams, you know, the smaller markets,
they developed players, they can't afford to keep them. The
(10:26):
Yankees keep them. But then they also go, oh, what
do we need? What do we need? I don't know,
how about somebody who can hit fifty home run ge
and Carlos Stanton, Yeah he's a one dimensional player. How
about three hundred million dollars Marlins couldn't afford him. But man,
(10:47):
you're asking for sympathy, and you're the Yankees. I think, Brian,
it's best that you just move on. Here's the thing.
If you have your point there, don't let it get
clouded with all the other stuff that's gonna surround it. Here.
Twenty seventeen has nothing to do with what you did
the previous eight years where you didn't win a World Series,
(11:11):
go to a World Series. But the Yankees pleading not
poverty but maybe sympathy. Find that little hypocritical there, Yes,
Seaton O'Connor. It really doesn't even matter. If they did
go to the World Series anyway, they could have won
every single one of those all they could have won
(11:31):
eight straight years and it would have been well, yeah,
but you bought them. I mean we led the whole
segment into how much money they spend. So it's like,
what does it even matter? It doesn't. Yeah, they're supposed
to win like the Dodgers. You know, when Dave Roberts
came on and he said, hey, put it, you gonna
write it down, put in the books, We're gonna win
the World Series. He should feel that way. They should
win the World Series. They have a great team. They
(11:54):
spent money. But the Yankees every year, that's what they do.
Eight seven seven three d P show Email address DP

A couple of phone calls in here. Start off with
Mark and Texas. Hey Mark, what's on your mind today?
Hey Dan? First time? Long time? All right, Mark, Well,
(12:16):
I wanted to give George Plimpton some credit there because
he's the one who wrote the article on Sid Finch.
Oh it was Plimpton, not Frank to Ford, my band,
Thank you and they explained later in the week, because
I remember reading that article and they explained in the
next week part of the article. If you took the
first letter of each of the words in the sentence,
(12:37):
it's stilled out April fools. Yes, and thank you for
correcting me on that. We had George Plimpton on a
week before. How how long was it before we had
him on and then he passed away? Yeah, the famous
writer he was in movies to paper Line. We had
(12:57):
George Plimpton on Friday, on a Sunday. It was his
last ever interview anywhere, and it was I think it
was the anniversary of the movie and book Paper Lion
with Alan Alda was in it vie and we decided
out of nowhere to have him on and he was
really good and he died two days later. But if
you think about it, here's a writer who played quarterback
in a preseason game for the Detroit Lions. I mean,
(13:22):
imagine Peter King playing nose tackle, you know, for the
Buffalo Bills in a preseason game. All right, maybe, but
the fact that they allowed him to play, and this
is back in the seventies, and he wrote the book
Paper Lion and George Plimpton, he got in the game.
But remember when a mad Rashad played in an NBA
(13:45):
preseason game, and I think he made a basket. But
a mad Rashad, But a mad Rashad was a spectacular
athlete in the NFL. You know, he was Bobby Moore
when he came out of Oregon, a great receiver athlete,
and when he went to the Vikings. But he got
to play in a preseason game, and I think he
hit like a baseline jumper. Now that's a little bit
(14:08):
different than George Plimpton, a writer playing quarterback for the
Detroit Lions. Yeah, Paul didn't the didn't Garth Brooks get
an ending with the Padres and spring training? Yeah, I
think he was that third base. Yes, he was. Charlie Pride,
a African American country singer. Charlie Pride could play. He was.
(14:29):
I think he got a bass hit in spring training.
I don't know if Garth Brooks got a bass hit.
He might have had a dribbler to third or something. Yeah, Paul,
George straight once punted for the Cowboys. No he did not.
That is not true. That is not true. All right,
we'll get some more phone calls coming up, and uh,
we'll settle on our poll question. We got a lot
(14:51):
of people to get to today. Mike Florio a little
bit later on is did Florio buy into everything that
Bruce Arians said yesterday? And I'm gonna guess no, but
it was kumbaya yesterday, and I'll play I'm even sure
if he should have shown up? What the heck was that? Marvin?
(15:12):
What's that old? Sorry? I was trying to get something
for the timer and my elbow hit the Uh forgive
me no, Bobby A. Friday, I thought that was mean spirital. Yeah,
I thought that he went out of his way to
take a shot that was not Fritzie. I am sorry,
that was not on purpose. I'm buying that, like Tom Bray,
had nothing to do with Bruce Arians being kicked up.
(15:34):
I guess I'm going wait, that's not Bruce Arians. Paulie,
did you tell Marvin to do that? We're up against
a breakdown? Okay, all right, I can't send Todd into
the weekend and Seton's got something that's supposed now he's
gonna be thinking about that for the next time. I know.
I'm right there with you. Todd. Very hard to write

That's why I Discover offers helpful US based representative is available.
Twenty four Evan just discover exceptionally common sense. Some people
on Twitter said Marvin has small hands but big elbows,
apparently that he accidentally had the Well, you can play
(18:12):
it just to let people know what you played. I'm
a journalist here, so this is what Marvin accidentally hit
in the first segment. He wasn't even sure if he
should have shown up. So if all of the things
that you could have accidentally hit, you hit that one. Marvin.
I mean it was right there. I was trying to,
you know, get ready for the break, you know we
(18:34):
set Just say it to Tom, I don't care. Speak
to the hand. It's Friday, Well, bigger hand than you have,
But speak to the hand, Fritzie. I'm really sorry. I
just still can't get over it. That's that's a little
slap in the face to Fritzie. Slap the US. Big
hand guys can make that job. Look I wanted to
(18:55):
take a hands on approach. I've never seen Seaton happier
prouder when he realized his hands were bigger than Markin.
I still can't get the smile off my face. It's just,
you know what's gonna happen at the Christmas party. Our
wives are gonna be looking at Marvin's hands like everybody's
gonna be going. I think when we do, like for
(19:18):
for Thanksgiving. You know how they used to when you
were a kid in school, you'd have to trace your
hand and make a little turkey out of it. I
think maybe that's what we do. I think that you
know what. I think we do a T shirt on that.
We do the Marvin Thanksgiving gobble t shirt with his
hand and the shirts only come in small. Wow. Everybody
(19:42):
gets to know, I got your back. Appreciate all right,
I jump right on him. I just wanted to tuck
in those giant elbows so that doesn't happen. To know
if he's going through you know to you, he's got
to go through me first, right? All right? Got that right?
Are happening? That really is an unbelievable piece of audio.
You don't want it as a journalist. Let me play him,
(20:04):
but just one more time. He wasn't even sure if
he should have shown up. That's insane that that's what
he wasn't even cool if he could have shown up, unreal,
and then Todd thought that we doctored it. There are
people like with braces and all kinds of night night
plates and all kinds of things that sound much clearer
than that. That's really disturbing. Yes, Paul, I'm dying to
books d Sarkisian for I don't care if it's football
(20:25):
season whatever. He just won't say his name I'll point
to the board, but if that guy's coming on in
the eleven o'clock, you'll just say, hey, coach, how are you?
That's it all righty? Some phone calls coming up. By
the way, The Greek Freak finished with forty four last night,
and the defending champion Bucks clinched a return to the
playoff with that win. And in the win over the Nets,
(20:48):
the Greek Freak moved past Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become
the Bucks all time leading score with just over for
fourteen thousand points. He hit two free throws with three
seconds to go in overtime, giving the Bucks that one
point win over the net. And that's another thing. I
know that I fawn all over the Greek free but
(21:09):
in large part because he came out of nowhere, came
over here and then worked each year and getting better,
and you could see that he was getting better every
single year. But he hasn't stopped. This is his ninth
year and he's shooting I think seventy one seventy two
percent from the free throw one remember when that was
(21:31):
a big deal. He's shooting around twelve free throws per game.
And if he starts to creep up to seventy five,
seventy six. You know Karl Malone did this. Karl Malone
came in. I think he shot fifty one percent his
first year. Carl Malone then became a knocked down free
throw shooter. And if you're going to go into the playoffs,
(21:51):
go deep into the playoffs, deep into a game in
the playoffs, can you make free throws? And we've seen
where there are a lot of big time players in
those moments don't make those free throws. But the Greek
free remember we would count how long one, two, three?
You don't have that. And plus his shot looks so
(22:13):
much better. And I'm looking at his jumpers outside jumper.
It looks so much smoother, not mechanical, there's fluidity to that.
I think that he won the MVP this past week.
I really do. I think when you make signature wins,
big time wins against the nets and also the seventy
(22:34):
six ers, I think he won the MVP. Really do. Yeah, PAULI,
I've got a list here. I think you'll like this.
The leading score in the history of every NBA franchise,
Oh boy, And we won't go through all of them, Okay,
here's some of the easy. The easy ones Cocka Bulls,
Michael George Yep, Cleveland Cavaliers, Lebron and the Dallas Mavericks
(22:57):
Durknabitsky Okay. Here's the tougher ones. Oh man, these are tough.
Um the Phoenix Suns, Dan old school guy Alvin Adams, No,
the Greyhound, Tom Chambers, Walter Davis, Phoenix Sun. Well, here's
a I wouldn't have gotten that one. Philadelphia seventy six ers,
(23:19):
not a nope. Um, I was gonna say, how greer.
You would be right if you said, hell Greer? Okay,
Orlando Magic, leading scorer in the franchise history. Kind of
surprising because it's what this gentleman is known for. It.
But it's the hints. M m uh Scott Skiles, Dwight Howard,
(23:44):
Oh okay, Oh Marve okay. I didn't see your small
hand when you raised it, So that's that was a
problem there. Yeah, here's a toughie. This might find the
two tough ones, all right, the La Clippers. See, I
knew you were going to bring that one up. I
think it's seventies, early eighties and not a household man.
It's not Freeman Williams um On Chambers, who's there? Um
(24:16):
hella clipping? That's the Los Angeles Clipper. Okay, Randy Smith,
a gentleman named Randy Smith played with the Buffalo Brave.
Erry did Memphis Grizzlies. I'll take your word for it.
Memphis Grizzlies. More of a passer played there a long time. Uh,
Mike Conley's crack. All right, here's the hammer. If you
(24:38):
get this, what a six pack of the beer you
of your choice? Okay? The all time leading score in
the Brooklyn Nets franchise, not the Nets franchise history, the
Brooklyn Nets franchise history, so not, you're removing New Jersey. Okay,
Brooklyn Nets all time leading score. I was shocked by this.
(25:03):
Do you want to hand him? Mcloven insulted him on
national TV and radio. I was gonna say, Joe Johnson, No,
I insulted, Oh you did. Mclovin made fun of him
brook Lopez, brook Lopez. Oh, that's right. I remember when
mclovin made fun of brook Lopez is major at Stanford? Yeah,
(25:25):
he said, he goes, what was your major at Stanford?
He goes creative writing goes. Isn't that a hobby not
a major. Brook Lopez all time leading score in NETS
history still okay. The other ones are pretty easy. Reggie Miller,
Dominique Wilkins, John Havilcheck, etc. Etter hall Check is the
all time leading score like Paul Pierce didn't pass him.
Huh no, and Lairbird retired a little early because Halcheck
(25:48):
had around twenty seven thousand, and that's correct, just under yeah,
twenty six seven ninety four or something like that. I
don't know. Okay, that's pretty good, good game, Uh, thank you.
Paul Bruce Sarian said goodbye to coaching yesterday and he
had this to say about that decision. When you know
it's time, it's time, and no better time that right now.
(26:11):
Three years ago, sitting antis podium, we talked about creating
a culture, a winning atmosphere that we're going to do
it our way. We're gonna be fast, we're gonna be physical,
and we're gonna be smart, and it's paid off. And
then he was asked about Tom brady decision to his retirement.
Thought about it after the season, but again it wasn't
(26:31):
right going through the combine, going through all that process,
trying to build next year's team, without Tom, and then
when Tom said he'd come back. Now it's easy. Now
it's easy. We're in the best shape we've ever been.
It's no better time to pass the tors than now.
I don't know what February brings, all right, but I
know what today brings, and it makes me really happy.
(26:54):
He was also asked after he was done with his
initial comments, they took questions his relationship with Tom Brady.
At all the players who are there are a few
in here. Every one of them's gotten cast out, all right,
including him. So that's just part of me, you know.
So that's nothing new. But we have a great relationship.
I mean as soon as he retired. I think we
(27:14):
text every week. Hey where are you at? What are
you doing when you're gonna play golf? When you're getting
back down this way? And so people gotta right, it
couldn't be further from the truth. Well, that person he's
talking about is Mike Florio, and Bruce Arians had this
to say about Florio. It's been great working with you
guys in the press. You've been fantastic all over the country.
(27:36):
All right, Florio, you can write what you want. It's okay.
Floria was going to join his coming up. I don't
think Mike's buying into this, that this was all orchestrated,
all planned, all scheduled. Hey, I was gonna announce my
retirement even though Tom's coming back announced the time. I
understand if you want to set up Todd Bowles. I
(27:57):
understand that Bruce arians has been a leader, He's been
at the forefront with diversity on his coaching staff. I
certainly understand that. I just don't know if he was
given the autonomy to pick his successor. Because if I'm
the owners, I'm the Glazer family. I'd like to be
involved in this process here, and I'd still love to
(28:20):
know what Tom Brady was doing in England when he
was meeting with the Glazer family. I don't think he
went there to meet Ronaldo, but I have to believe
that they were discussing something a bigger picture. There just guessing,
and if you're going to discuss something, you go right
to the top, you go to the ownership, and he
(28:43):
had that opportunity to do that. Do I think there's
more to that? There is? You know what happens when
you realize that maybe a story doesn't quite sync up,
then you become a little more obsessed in getting to
the answer that you want the right answer here, Like
Malcolm Butler, I still want answers to it. It's not
going to change my life, change my day. But there's
(29:05):
part of you that's like, why was he suspended at
the Super Bowl? Right? Why is Bruce Arians not coaching?
It may not matter, but then there's part of you like,
did Tom Brady want Todd Bulls? You can like somebody
but may not want to work with him or not
work well with him. I didn't work well with Stewart Scott.
(29:28):
We just didn't match up. We were too competitive, But
socially we were fine. I enjoyed his company. But you know,
Tom golfing with Bruce Arians okay, But as far as
how he was as a head coach to him, that
could be different. Yeah. Seton. So if you're the Buccaneers, right,
(29:48):
we're sort of like following the storylines that have been developing.
Tom Brady retires because ultimately he really wants to end
up with the forty nine ers and quarterback there at
least we're led to believe that that's a possibility, right,
So he wants to He actually wants out of Tampa
and he wants to go to the forty nine ers.
Then he realizes he can't do that, right, Yes, So
(30:09):
then now the Buccaneers, knowing that Tom Brady actually wants
to leave instead, they blow out their coach because they
asked him too, and put in the coach that he
asked them to, even though that coach just got them
a Super Bowl ring. Yeah, but you can tire of somebody.
He might be good for you, but you can tire.
You know. The whole thing with Brady going to Tampa Bay,
(30:31):
he wanted to have fun. That was the whole message.
He wants to have fun, gets to pick his roster,
all of those things. But now the message is Bruce
Arians wasn't serious enough for him. Yeah, so I thought
he was having fun and then he went and what
is too much fun winning? I don't. I don't know
if he was having fun. I don't. I don't think
he liked well, I can ask Florio about this. We'll
(30:51):
take a break. We'll talk to Mike Florio, and I
think he was very, very proud that he got called
out by Bruce Arians. We'll talk to Florial. More phone
calls coming up next hour. Is busy Rex Chapman, Randy Johnson,
the Big Unit will join us. Final hour, Bubba Watson

Florio joining us in the news yesterdays. Bruce Arians and
one of his last things that he said as the
head coach of the Buccaneers called out Florio and said that, well,
go ahead and you can write about it. Mike, what
(32:39):
did you make of Bruce Arians yesterday? Yeah, I'm sitting
there minded my own business, Dan in my office working
on PFT, got a window opened with the Buccaneers press conference.
And I mean if I'd had a mouthful of water
or coffee or well it was too early to have
anything stronger than that, I would have spit it all
over the computer screen. I couldn't believe it. And look,
(33:00):
I like it. It just shows that they read and
they heed, and they listen and they pay attention. And
I'm sure he's not thrilled with my speculation slash somewhat
informed discussion of how this all came to be. But
any chance that you know, the way he announced his
retirement is actually real, like it's true? Well, when has
(33:25):
this ever happened? First of all, so first time since
Jimmy Johnson left the Cowboys in March of nineteen ninety four,
that a coach has exited this late in the cycle,
None of it adds up. He was all in, He
was at the scouting combine, he was involved, he was
involved in free agency, and the idea that tom Brady
coming back caused him to say now is the time
(33:47):
to leave. Of anything, it would cause him to say,
now is the time to stay. I was worried about
what we're gonna do without tom Brady. Now tom Brady
is back in seventeen days after this was the key
for me. Dam Seventeen days after tom Brady he ends
a forty day retirement, Bruce Arians is out, and there's
never even the most remote suggestion that Tom Brady is
(34:07):
troubled by that. Doesn't that tell us kind of everything
we need to know? And I think we're underrating what
Bruce Arians means to the football team on game day.
But the fundamental problem here, I think arose from the
fact that Arians wasn't involved with the team most of
the time, and that he would show up and become involved.
And at a certain point, the folks who are grinding
(34:28):
every day, busting their asses every day are going to
resent that, and I think that's where some of this
professional friction came from. Doesn't mean there's personal friction. You know.
The arians fallback is we get along fine. Well, There's
been plenty of people I've worked with over the years.
I love him personally, Professionally, I just can't work with
you anymore. It's possible that those two things can exist.
(34:48):
What do you think happened when Brady went to London
something and it was so funny. He puts out that
video of Christiano Ronaldo saying you're done right, and he's
like and two hours later he's back. I mean, he
knew damn well what he was doing. I think he retired.
And this is a take that Sims and I have
(35:10):
kind of come up with after talking about it way
too often over the past few months. The retirement wasn't
something that he was forced into. His dad says, well,
you know, ESPN reported he's retiring, so he had to retire, Like, like,
that's going to be a real factor in your life.
Decision to retire. I think he actively explored whether or
not he could pull off a move to another team.
(35:33):
The Dolphins were looking at Sean Payton and Tom Brady together.
That's not happening. If Tom Brady isn't at least interested
in the possibility of partnering up with Sean Payton, those
thoughts aren't being had and entertained and acted upon by
the Dolphins, who admit that they called the Saints to
inquire about the availability of Sean Payton, and we're told
don't even waste your time by former Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland,
(35:55):
who's now the assistant GM in New Orleans. So I
think part of that forty days is there another place
I can continue my career. And one of the benefits
of being Tom Brady is you never have to order
the Code red. You never have to dirty your hands
with Gee. I'd really like to come back, but I'm
not happy with the coaching situation. That's something that happens
(36:16):
three levels down, gets communicated three levels down from ownership
of the Buccaneers, and it works its way up and
people you know, Jason light said yesterday and Rich Eyes
and show Tom never made a demand. Of course he
didn't make a demand. If you're Tom Brady, don't have
to make a demand. It's one of the benefits of
being Tom Brady. Is it you're feeling or is it reporting? Well,
(36:38):
I think it's a combination of both. And I think
that's kind of where we are in today's world. When
you're plugged into the matrix twenty four hours a day
like I am, and you've been doing it for twenty years,
you get an idea of what's really going on. For example,
when Pete Carroll tells the world we have no intention
to trade Russell Wilson, my first reaction was, there's the
for sale, sun folks. They're willing to trade him. And
at all these Seahawks fans and Seahawks media, you're you're nuts,
(37:00):
you're high, you're whatever. And then what happened a week
later they have a deal to trade him to the
Denver Broncos. So you develop a sense of what the
patterns are, what the trends are, what the truth is,
and what the bs is. And this one is so
weird in comparison to everything else we've seen in the
last twenty years, or the last forty years or the
last fifty years. There's got to be smoke there, and
(37:23):
where there's smoke, as we often know, there's fire. I
had some Seattle fans who blamed me for Russell Wilson
getting traded because I had him on and he did
that interview where he kind of aired his laundry, and
I went, all I did is ask a question. Normally
Russ doesn't give you anything of great detail, and he
(37:43):
gave me a whole lot there, and then I followed up.
And that's why I said, all along, I thought we
were going to have something similar to what we had
with the Rams and the Lions, where Matthew Stafford and
the Lions would mutually agree what's best for both is
to divorce. And that's exactly what happened in that situation.
We're talking to Mike Florio. The book is Playmakers, available
(38:05):
online wherever books are sold. So Brady gets what he wants.
I guess with Todd Bowles, the only thing that I'll
leave you with this one item. Does Bruce arians have
the autonomy to pick his successor? I mean, that's what
was surprising that it feels like ownership would say we
(38:26):
kind of want to know, you know, what our plan
is down the road. Bruce said, Hey, I wanted to
have Todd Bowles, and I'm all for Todd Bowles getting
another chance. I just didn't know that Bruce would have
that say, that power to name his successor. Well, look,
if what we're being told is true, and obviously I
(38:46):
have my doubts. Bruce arians put ownership in a very
tough spot by walking away when he did. Because if
I own a football team, I would at least like
to know as soon as possible after the season ends
that I'm going to be looking for a coach, because
because I was, I would leave. It's like to have
the opportunity to cast a wider net and consider my options.
Maybe I'd come back to tog balls at the end
(39:06):
of the day, but I'd at least like to have
the chance to try. What else are you going to do?
If you're the Buccaneers and your head coach leaves on
March thirty, you're going to start a search? Then you
can't under the rules, no team is required to let
you talk to any of their assistants under contract because
March one is when that window closes. That's why the
(39:26):
Rooney rule doesn't apply. That's a loophole by the way
that I think they're going to close because I as
soon as I as soon as I saw that the
Rooney rule doesn't apply to any vacancies after March one.
I thought, oh boy, Jerry Jones is gonna fire Mike
McCarthy after March one and hire Sean Payton or elevate
Dan Quinn. Now that Jerry Jones knows this exists, because
it's the first time it's ever happened, he's gonna use
(39:47):
it and they're gonna close that loophole before he can.
All right, before I let you go. The Baker Mayfield
story seems pretty quiet. Is it going to stay that
way for until the draft or after the draft? I
think both of these teams that are looking to trade
veteran quarterbacks with significant salaries, the forty nine ers with
Jimmy Garoppolo and the Browns with Baker Mayfield, I think
(40:07):
they want to wait at this point to see what
happens with the draft. That there's gonna be maybe a
team that is targeting a quarterback Round one or two.
If they don't get him, then maybe a trade market
emerges at some point, though it gets very awkward because
you can't lock the guy out of the facility if
he wants to show up. And if I'm Baker Mayfield,
deal with me. I'm not gonna go sit in the corner.
You gotta deal with me, or you gotta cut me.
(40:28):
Even though these guys don't have no trade clauses, you
have a lot of power when you're a starting quarterback.
If a team is going to trade for you and
you don't want to go there, good luck getting that
team to give up any significant assets for that contract.
That could be a mess for any team that tries
to trade for Garoppolo or Mayfield. Mayfield's got a ton
of power also because his salary is fully guaranteed. He's
getting eighteen point eight million this year no matter what.
(40:50):
So it's a mess for the Browns and for the
forty nine ers. It's going to be one of the
fun storylines to keep an eye on as the offseason continues.
Also with the Rams with Bobby Wagner, I was just
thinking of that they keep kicking the salary cap down
the road signing these guys that you know they don't
need draft picks here. But Bobby Wagner's signing, I thought
(41:11):
it was a great pickup. I don't know costwise if
it is, but this plan the Rams keep buying into it.
Your thoughts on Wagner, well, two things. Five years fifty million,
I mean, how many times do we have to hear
the big number? Yeah, and then see the real numbers
and see the details and understand what the deal really
is before we become skeptical of the big number. I'm
(41:33):
skeptical of five years fifty million, but five years spreads
it out more into the cap. And here's the thing
to remember about the cap dollars. It goes up every year.
So a million dollars in cap space this year means
a lot more to a team than a million dollars
in cap space next year, because the CAP's going to
be hired. It's a smaller percentage. That's why teams kick
it forward. Because the CAP's gonna keep going up and
(41:54):
dan with the gambling money, with TV contracts, caps gonna
be three hundred million before we know it. So that's
why these teams do it. And if you're the Rams,
and you hey, Aaron Donald on the line, Bobby Wagnert linebacker,
Jaila Ramsey at corner, we're sleeping on the Rams. So
much talk last year about the Buccaneers repeating why aren't
we talking about the Rams? Repeating all the talents left
the NFC the Packers are down, the Bucks are still
(42:15):
going through a coaching change. We take for granted how
good Bruce Arians is on game day. They could beat
down a little bit. And here are the Rams. They're
right where they left off, and I think we need
to be thinking about them as a team that gets
back to the super Bowl and maybe wins it again.
I'll tell Bruce Arians you said alone. Please do Thank you, Mike,

think had a good week, potentially a good week, potentially
a good week. See I think the Greek freak. If
I'm looking at bigger picture, I know that the Greek
Freak in a couple of weeks could win the MVP
(04:26):
based off which happened this past week that he took
down the seventy six ers, in Joe Lnb took down
the nets KD this we might look back on this
and say won the MVP in those two games, maybe
Todd Bowles. You know, I'm glad that Todd Bowles is
getting a second chance. Anybody who coaches the Jets should
always get a second chance with another quality team. Yes point,
(04:49):
But most guys when they get a chance to be
a head coach, they're taking over team where the team
stinks and a coach has been fired. How many guys
get handed a team with Tom Brady and a top
three favorite to in the Super Bowl. Yes, I know,
doesn't happen, and I'm glad that he got that opportunity.
Mike Tomlin going into the Steelers got an opportunity to
take over a blue blood franchise there. But Todd Bowles
(05:12):
takes over for Bruce Arians and you got Tom Brady
at least for another year. What else do you have, Seaton, Well,
we have another one for a little later on that
I don't know that I'm ready to get into. It's
a little more personal personal, perhaps to my back row mate.
Oh this is Todd related. Is this hour two Todd related?
(05:35):
Depending on how you want our three to go? Oh,
is it going to take over the show? I don't
know if it's going to take over the show, but
it's gonna that's gonna dominate his mind space for sure. Oh,
we don't want that as late as we can in
the show. I don't want to ruin his week. Yeah,
all right, so that'll be a little bit later on.
By the way, back in twenty seventeen, Yankees look like
contenders for the World Series. Unfortunately for them, they ran
(05:58):
into the Houston ast That was the same year the
Astros were spanked for stealing signs. That story hasn't gone away,
because yesterday the Yankees GM Brian Cashman threw more fuel
on that fire. He claims the only reason the Yankees
haven't made a World Series since two thousand and nine
was due to the Astros actions in twenty seventeen. That's right,
(06:20):
I'll say it again. The only reason the Yankees haven't
made it to a World Series since O nine was
due to what Houston did in twenty seventeen. We know
what Houston did was wrong, but the Yankees calling out
Houston is just a little bit like the pot calling
the kettle black because guests who was fined that same
season for stealing signs? You're New York Yankees. But the
(06:43):
story has been swept under the rug. But unfortunately for
the Yankees, the US Second Circuit Court ruled a letter
containing information on the Yankees sign stealing has to be
made public, and New York better hope that document doesn't
implicate them any further, because if it does, the Yankee
finger pointing the past five years is going to be
a really, really bad look for them. Now. The article
(07:07):
was in The Athletic. Andy McCullough wrote an article on
the Yankees and Brian Cashman, and Brian Cashman said the
only thing that stopped us was something that was so
illegal and horrific. Cashman told The Athletic. So I get
offended when I started hearing we haven't been to the
World Series since O nine, because I'm like, well, I
(07:28):
think we actually did it the right way, pulled it down,
brought it back up, drafted well, traded, well developed, well
signed well. The only thing that derailed us was a
cheating circumstance that threw us off. He goes on to
say people are like, oh, we haven't been to a
World Series, and I'm like, yeah, I don't think that's
a true statement as it could be. We had a
(07:50):
World Series team and you either get it done or
you don't. Well, there's a couple of things here. He
has a point about that year, but the previous years.
What does that have to do with twenty seventeen. If
the Mets have been to more World Series then the
(08:11):
Yankees have in the last decade, I gotta do some
finger pointing at the Yankees. I think you've spent a
lot of money. How's that gen Carlos Stanton investment working there?
You've spent money, You've had money to spend, and now
you have some competition because the Dodgers are now, oh
we'll take Freddie Freeman, Carlos Correa, the Twins got him.
(08:35):
You don't even have a shortstop. So I have to
look at this that. Okay, Astros cheated. They won a
World Series title, all right, fair, Okay. You know who
was the ring leader or one of the main ring
leaders for the Astros and the cheating scandal. Carlos Beltron.
Guess which team he was with prior to joining the Astros.
(08:57):
The Yankees. He'd just all of a sudden, go, hey,
I'm going to Houston. Hey what about cheating? Did they
do anything nefarious with the Yankees there? How about some
of the players you've employed. You won a World Series
title with Aron and Andy Pettitt. So this is brought
up by Brian. I didn't bring it up. Ryan did.
(09:20):
And nobody's feeling sorry for the Yankees. I mean, it's
really hard to go. You know, I feel sorry for
the Yankees. Maybe that year, okay, but the other years
I can't. It's not like you you haven't been in
the World Series prior to twenty seventeen because you kept
thinking in your mind somewhere down the road, somebody's gonna
(09:41):
be stealing signs, and that's why we're not going to
be in the World Series for you know, these eight
years prior to Yeah, pauling the other thing. Having two
hundred and fifty million dollars to spend every year, it
makes us so confusing. Who by yeah, let me see,
do we want Garrett Cole? Okay, we'll take one of those,
and we'll take one of those. That's the way it
used to be. So all of those you know, World
(10:04):
Series titles where you not only we're drafting players developing players,
you kept all of those players because I hear Yankee
fans going, hey, you know they developed Jeter and Bernie
Williams and Nandy Petton, they drafted them, and they're like, yes,
but all the other teams, you know, the smaller markets,
they developed players, they can't afford to keep them. The
(10:26):
Yankees keep them. But then they also go, oh, what
do we need? What do we need? I don't know,
how about somebody who can hit fifty home run ge
and Carlos Stanton, Yeah he's a one dimensional player. How
about three hundred million dollars Marlins couldn't afford him. But man,
(10:47):
you're asking for sympathy, and you're the Yankees. I think, Brian,
it's best that you just move on. Here's the thing.
If you have your point there, don't let it get
clouded with all the other stuff that's gonna surround it. Here.
Twenty seventeen has nothing to do with what you did
the previous eight years where you didn't win a World Series,
(11:11):
go to a World Series. But the Yankees pleading not
poverty but maybe sympathy. Find that little hypocritical there, Yes,
Seaton O'Connor. It really doesn't even matter. If they did
go to the World Series anyway, they could have won
every single one of those all they could have won
(11:31):
eight straight years and it would have been well, yeah,
but you bought them. I mean we led the whole
segment into how much money they spend. So it's like,
what does it even matter? It doesn't. Yeah, they're supposed
to win like the Dodgers. You know, when Dave Roberts
came on and he said, hey, put it, you gonna
write it down, put in the books, We're gonna win
the World Series. He should feel that way. They should
win the World Series. They have a great team. They
(11:54):
spent money. But the Yankees every year, that's what they do.

I wanted to give George Plimpton some credit there because
he's the one who wrote the article on Sid Finch.
Oh it was Plimpton, not Frank to Ford, my band,
Thank you and they explained later in the week, because
I remember reading that article and they explained in the
next week part of the article. If you took the
first letter of each of the words in the sentence,
(12:37):
it's stilled out April fools. Yes, and thank you for
correcting me on that. We had George Plimpton on a
week before. How how long was it before we had
him on and then he passed away? Yeah, the famous
writer he was in movies to paper Line. We had
(12:57):
George Plimpton on Friday, on a Sunday. It was his
last ever interview anywhere, and it was I think it
was the anniversary of the movie and book Paper Lion
with Alan Alda was in it vie and we decided
out of nowhere to have him on and he was
really good and he died two days later. But if
you think about it, here's a writer who played quarterback
in a preseason game for the Detroit Lions. I mean,
(13:22):
imagine Peter King playing nose tackle, you know, for the
Buffalo Bills in a preseason game. All right, maybe, but
the fact that they allowed him to play, and this
is back in the seventies, and he wrote the book
Paper Lion and George Plimpton, he got in the game.
But remember when a mad Rashad played in an NBA
(13:45):
preseason game, and I think he made a basket. But
a mad Rashad, But a mad Rashad was a spectacular
athlete in the NFL. You know, he was Bobby Moore
when he came out of Oregon, a great receiver athlete,
and when he went to the Vikings. But he got
to play in a preseason game, and I think he
hit like a baseline jumper. Now that's a little bit
(14:08):
different than George Plimpton, a writer playing quarterback for the
Detroit Lions. Yeah, Paul didn't the didn't Garth Brooks get
an ending with the Padres and spring training? Yeah, I
think he was that third base. Yes, he was. Charlie Pride,
a African American country singer. Charlie Pride could play. He was.
(14:29):
I think he got a bass hit in spring training.
I don't know if Garth Brooks got a bass hit.
He might have had a dribbler to third or something. Yeah, Paul,
George straight once punted for the Cowboys. No he did not.
That is not true. That is not true. All right,
we'll get some more phone calls coming up, and uh,
we'll settle on our poll question. We got a lot
(14:51):
of people to get to today. Mike Florio a little
bit later on is did Florio buy into everything that
Bruce Arians said yesterday? And I'm gonna guess no, but
it was kumbaya yesterday, and I'll play I'm even sure
if he should have shown up? What the heck was that? Marvin?
(15:12):
What's that old? Sorry? I was trying to get something
for the timer and my elbow hit the Uh forgive
me no, Bobby A. Friday, I thought that was mean spirital. Yeah,
I thought that he went out of his way to
take a shot that was not Fritzie. I am sorry,
that was not on purpose. I'm buying that, like Tom Bray,
had nothing to do with Bruce Arians being kicked up.
(15:34):
I guess I'm going wait, that's not Bruce Arians. Paulie,
did you tell Marvin to do that? We're up against
a breakdown? Okay, all right, I can't send Todd into
the weekend and Seton's got something that's supposed now he's
gonna be thinking about that for the next time. I know.
I'm right there with you. Todd. Very hard to write
(15:55):

That's why I Discover offers helpful US based representative is available.
Twenty four Evan just discover exceptionally common sense. Some people
on Twitter said Marvin has small hands but big elbows,
apparently that he accidentally had the Well, you can play
(18:12):
it just to let people know what you played. I'm
a journalist here, so this is what Marvin accidentally hit
in the first segment. He wasn't even sure if he
should have shown up. So if all of the things
that you could have accidentally hit, you hit that one. Marvin.
I mean it was right there. I was trying to,
you know, get ready for the break, you know we
(18:34):
set Just say it to Tom, I don't care. Speak
to the hand. It's Friday, Well, bigger hand than you have,
But speak to the hand, Fritzie. I'm really sorry. I
just still can't get over it. That's that's a little
slap in the face to Fritzie. Slap the US. Big
hand guys can make that job. Look I wanted to
(18:55):
take a hands on approach. I've never seen Seaton happier
prouder when he realized his hands were bigger than Markin.
I still can't get the smile off my face. It's just,
you know what's gonna happen at the Christmas party. Our
wives are gonna be looking at Marvin's hands like everybody's
gonna be going. I think when we do, like for
(19:18):
for Thanksgiving. You know how they used to when you
were a kid in school, you'd have to trace your
hand and make a little turkey out of it. I
think maybe that's what we do. I think that you
know what. I think we do a T shirt on that.
We do the Marvin Thanksgiving gobble t shirt with his
hand and the shirts only come in small. Wow. Everybody
(19:42):
gets to know, I got your back. Appreciate all right,
I jump right on him. I just wanted to tuck
in those giant elbows so that doesn't happen. To know
if he's going through you know to you, he's got
to go through me first, right? All right? Got that right?
Are happening? That really is an unbelievable piece of audio.
You don't want it as a journalist. Let me play him,
(20:04):
but just one more time. He wasn't even sure if
he should have shown up. That's insane that that's what
he wasn't even cool if he could have shown up, unreal,
and then Todd thought that we doctored it. There are
people like with braces and all kinds of night night
plates and all kinds of things that sound much clearer
than that. That's really disturbing. Yes, Paul, I'm dying to
books d Sarkisian for I don't care if it's football
(20:25):
season whatever. He just won't say his name I'll point
to the board, but if that guy's coming on in
the eleven o'clock, you'll just say, hey, coach, how are you?
That's it all righty? Some phone calls coming up. By
the way, The Greek Freak finished with forty four last night,
and the defending champion Bucks clinched a return to the
playoff with that win. And in the win over the Nets,
(20:48):
the Greek Freak moved past Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become
the Bucks all time leading score with just over for
fourteen thousand points. He hit two free throws with three
seconds to go in overtime, giving the Bucks that one
point win over the net. And that's another thing. I
know that I fawn all over the Greek free but
(21:09):
in large part because he came out of nowhere, came
over here and then worked each year and getting better,
and you could see that he was getting better every
single year. But he hasn't stopped. This is his ninth
year and he's shooting I think seventy one seventy two
percent from the free throw one remember when that was
(21:31):
a big deal. He's shooting around twelve free throws per game.
And if he starts to creep up to seventy five,
seventy six. You know Karl Malone did this. Karl Malone
came in. I think he shot fifty one percent his
first year. Carl Malone then became a knocked down free
throw shooter. And if you're going to go into the playoffs,
(21:51):
go deep into the playoffs, deep into a game in
the playoffs, can you make free throws? And we've seen
where there are a lot of big time players in
those moments don't make those free throws. But the Greek
free remember we would count how long one, two, three?
You don't have that. And plus his shot looks so
(22:13):
much better. And I'm looking at his jumpers outside jumper.
It looks so much smoother, not mechanical, there's fluidity to that.
I think that he won the MVP this past week.
I really do. I think when you make signature wins,
big time wins against the nets and also the seventy
(22:34):
six ers, I think he won the MVP. Really do. Yeah, PAULI,
I've got a list here. I think you'll like this.
The leading score in the history of every NBA franchise,
Oh boy, And we won't go through all of them, Okay,
here's some of the easy. The easy ones Cocka Bulls,
Michael George Yep, Cleveland Cavaliers, Lebron and the Dallas Mavericks
(22:57):
Durknabitsky Okay. Here's the tougher ones. Oh man, these are tough.
Um the Phoenix Suns, Dan old school guy Alvin Adams, No,
the Greyhound, Tom Chambers, Walter Davis, Phoenix Sun. Well, here's
a I wouldn't have gotten that one. Philadelphia seventy six ers,
(23:19):
not a nope. Um, I was gonna say, how greer.
You would be right if you said, hell Greer? Okay,
Orlando Magic, leading scorer in the franchise history. Kind of
surprising because it's what this gentleman is known for. It.
But it's the hints. M m uh Scott Skiles, Dwight Howard,
(23:44):
Oh okay, Oh Marve okay. I didn't see your small
hand when you raised it, So that's that was a
problem there. Yeah, here's a toughie. This might find the
two tough ones, all right, the La Clippers. See, I
knew you were going to bring that one up. I
think it's seventies, early eighties and not a household man.
It's not Freeman Williams um On Chambers, who's there? Um
(24:16):
hella clipping? That's the Los Angeles Clipper. Okay, Randy Smith,
a gentleman named Randy Smith played with the Buffalo Brave.
Erry did Memphis Grizzlies. I'll take your word for it.
Memphis Grizzlies. More of a passer played there a long time. Uh,
Mike Conley's crack. All right, here's the hammer. If you
(24:38):
get this, what a six pack of the beer you
of your choice? Okay? The all time leading score in
the Brooklyn Nets franchise, not the Nets franchise history, the
Brooklyn Nets franchise history, so not, you're removing New Jersey. Okay,
Brooklyn Nets all time leading score. I was shocked by this.
(25:03):
Do you want to hand him? Mcloven insulted him on
national TV and radio. I was gonna say, Joe Johnson, No,
I insulted, Oh you did. Mclovin made fun of him
brook Lopez, brook Lopez. Oh, that's right. I remember when
mclovin made fun of brook Lopez is major at Stanford? Yeah,
(25:25):
he said, he goes, what was your major at Stanford?
He goes creative writing goes. Isn't that a hobby not
a major. Brook Lopez all time leading score in NETS
history still okay. The other ones are pretty easy. Reggie Miller,
Dominique Wilkins, John Havilcheck, etc. Etter hall Check is the
all time leading score like Paul Pierce didn't pass him.
Huh no, and Lairbird retired a little early because Halcheck
(25:48):
had around twenty seven thousand, and that's correct, just under yeah,
twenty six seven ninety four or something like that. I
don't know. Okay, that's pretty good, good game, Uh, thank you.
Paul Bruce Sarian said goodbye to coaching yesterday and he
had this to say about that decision. When you know
it's time, it's time, and no better time that right now.
(26:11):
Three years ago, sitting antis podium, we talked about creating
a culture, a winning atmosphere that we're going to do
it our way. We're gonna be fast, we're gonna be physical,
and we're gonna be smart, and it's paid off. And
then he was asked about Tom brady decision to his retirement.
Thought about it after the season, but again it wasn't
(26:31):
right going through the combine, going through all that process,
trying to build next year's team, without Tom, and then
when Tom said he'd come back. Now it's easy. Now
it's easy. We're in the best shape we've ever been.
It's no better time to pass the tors than now.
I don't know what February brings, all right, but I
know what today brings, and it makes me really happy.
(26:54):
He was also asked after he was done with his
initial comments, they took questions his relationship with Tom Brady.
At all the players who are there are a few
in here. Every one of them's gotten cast out, all right,
including him. So that's just part of me, you know.
So that's nothing new. But we have a great relationship.
I mean as soon as he retired. I think we
(27:14):
text every week. Hey where are you at? What are
you doing when you're gonna play golf? When you're getting
back down this way? And so people gotta right, it
couldn't be further from the truth. Well, that person he's
talking about is Mike Florio, and Bruce Arians had this
to say about Florio. It's been great working with you
guys in the press. You've been fantastic all over the country.
(27:36):
All right, Florio, you can write what you want. It's okay.
Floria was going to join his coming up. I don't
think Mike's buying into this, that this was all orchestrated,
all planned, all scheduled. Hey, I was gonna announce my
retirement even though Tom's coming back announced the time. I
understand if you want to set up Todd Bowles. I
(27:57):
understand that Bruce arians has been a leader, He's been
at the forefront with diversity on his coaching staff. I
certainly understand that. I just don't know if he was
given the autonomy to pick his successor. Because if I'm
the owners, I'm the Glazer family. I'd like to be
involved in this process here, and I'd still love to
(28:20):
know what Tom Brady was doing in England when he
was meeting with the Glazer family. I don't think he
went there to meet Ronaldo, but I have to believe
that they were discussing something a bigger picture. There just guessing,
and if you're going to discuss something, you go right
to the top, you go to the ownership, and he
(28:43):
had that opportunity to do that. Do I think there's
more to that? There is? You know what happens when
you realize that maybe a story doesn't quite sync up,
then you become a little more obsessed in getting to
the answer that you want the right answer here, Like
Malcolm Butler, I still want answers to it. It's not
going to change my life, change my day. But there's
(29:05):
part of you that's like, why was he suspended at
the Super Bowl? Right? Why is Bruce Arians not coaching?
It may not matter, but then there's part of you like,
did Tom Brady want Todd Bulls? You can like somebody
but may not want to work with him or not
work well with him. I didn't work well with Stewart Scott.
(29:28):
We just didn't match up. We were too competitive, But
socially we were fine. I enjoyed his company. But you know,
Tom golfing with Bruce Arians okay, But as far as
how he was as a head coach to him, that
could be different. Yeah. Seton. So if you're the Buccaneers, right,
(29:48):
we're sort of like following the storylines that have been developing.
Tom Brady retires because ultimately he really wants to end
up with the forty nine ers and quarterback there at
least we're led to believe that that's a possibility, right,
So he wants to He actually wants out of Tampa
and he wants to go to the forty nine ers.
Then he realizes he can't do that, right, Yes, So
(30:09):
then now the Buccaneers, knowing that Tom Brady actually wants
to leave instead, they blow out their coach because they
asked him too, and put in the coach that he
asked them to, even though that coach just got them
a Super Bowl ring. Yeah, but you can tire of somebody.
He might be good for you, but you can tire.
You know. The whole thing with Brady going to Tampa Bay,
(30:31):
he wanted to have fun. That was the whole message.
He wants to have fun, gets to pick his roster,
all of those things. But now the message is Bruce
Arians wasn't serious enough for him. Yeah, so I thought
he was having fun and then he went and what
is too much fun winning? I don't. I don't know
if he was having fun. I don't. I don't think
he liked well, I can ask Florio about this. We'll
(30:51):
take a break. We'll talk to Mike Florio, and I
think he was very, very proud that he got called
out by Bruce Arians. We'll talk to Florial. More phone
calls coming up next hour. Is busy Rex Chapman, Randy Johnson,
the Big Unit will join us. Final hour, Bubba Watson
said to join us before he takes the two hour

Florio joining us in the news yesterdays. Bruce Arians and
one of his last things that he said as the
head coach of the Buccaneers called out Florio and said that, well,
go ahead and you can write about it. Mike, what
(32:39):
did you make of Bruce Arians yesterday? Yeah, I'm sitting
there minded my own business, Dan in my office working
on PFT, got a window opened with the Buccaneers press conference.
And I mean if I'd had a mouthful of water
or coffee or well it was too early to have
anything stronger than that, I would have spit it all
over the computer screen. I couldn't believe it. And look,
(33:00):
I like it. It just shows that they read and
they heed, and they listen and they pay attention. And
I'm sure he's not thrilled with my speculation slash somewhat
informed discussion of how this all came to be. But
any chance that you know, the way he announced his
retirement is actually real, like it's true? Well, when has
(33:25):
this ever happened? First of all, so first time since
Jimmy Johnson left the Cowboys in March of nineteen ninety four,
that a coach has exited this late in the cycle,
None of it adds up. He was all in, He
was at the scouting combine, he was involved, he was
involved in free agency, and the idea that tom Brady
coming back caused him to say now is the time
(33:47):
to leave. Of anything, it would cause him to say,
now is the time to stay. I was worried about
what we're gonna do without tom Brady. Now tom Brady
is back in seventeen days after this was the key
for me. Dam Seventeen days after tom Brady he ends
a forty day retirement, Bruce Arians is out, and there's
never even the most remote suggestion that Tom Brady is
(34:07):
troubled by that. Doesn't that tell us kind of everything
we need to know? And I think we're underrating what
Bruce Arians means to the football team on game day.
But the fundamental problem here, I think arose from the
fact that Arians wasn't involved with the team most of
the time, and that he would show up and become involved.
And at a certain point, the folks who are grinding
(34:28):
every day, busting their asses every day are going to
resent that, and I think that's where some of this
professional friction came from. Doesn't mean there's personal friction. You know.
The arians fallback is we get along fine. Well, There's
been plenty of people I've worked with over the years.
I love him personally, Professionally, I just can't work with
you anymore. It's possible that those two things can exist.
(34:48):
What do you think happened when Brady went to London
something and it was so funny. He puts out that
video of Christiano Ronaldo saying you're done right, and he's
like and two hours later he's back. I mean, he
knew damn well what he was doing. I think he retired.
And this is a take that Sims and I have
(35:10):
kind of come up with after talking about it way
too often over the past few months. The retirement wasn't
something that he was forced into. His dad says, well,
you know, ESPN reported he's retiring, so he had to retire, Like, like,
that's going to be a real factor in your life.
Decision to retire. I think he actively explored whether or
not he could pull off a move to another team.
(35:33):
The Dolphins were looking at Sean Payton and Tom Brady together.
That's not happening. If Tom Brady isn't at least interested
in the possibility of partnering up with Sean Payton, those
thoughts aren't being had and entertained and acted upon by
the Dolphins, who admit that they called the Saints to
inquire about the availability of Sean Payton, and we're told
don't even waste your time by former Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland,
(35:55):
who's now the assistant GM in New Orleans. So I
think part of that forty days is there another place
I can continue my career. And one of the benefits
of being Tom Brady is you never have to order
the Code red. You never have to dirty your hands
with Gee. I'd really like to come back, but I'm
not happy with the coaching situation. That's something that happens
(36:16):
three levels down, gets communicated three levels down from ownership
of the Buccaneers, and it works its way up and
people you know, Jason light said yesterday and Rich Eyes
and show Tom never made a demand. Of course he
didn't make a demand. If you're Tom Brady, don't have
to make a demand. It's one of the benefits of
being Tom Brady. Is it you're feeling or is it reporting? Well,
(36:38):
I think it's a combination of both. And I think
that's kind of where we are in today's world. When
you're plugged into the matrix twenty four hours a day
like I am, and you've been doing it for twenty years,
you get an idea of what's really going on. For example,
when Pete Carroll tells the world we have no intention
to trade Russell Wilson, my first reaction was, there's the
for sale, sun folks. They're willing to trade him. And
at all these Seahawks fans and Seahawks media, you're you're nuts,
(37:00):
you're high, you're whatever. And then what happened a week
later they have a deal to trade him to the
Denver Broncos. So you develop a sense of what the
patterns are, what the trends are, what the truth is,
and what the bs is. And this one is so
weird in comparison to everything else we've seen in the
last twenty years, or the last forty years or the
last fifty years. There's got to be smoke there, and
(37:23):
where there's smoke, as we often know, there's fire. I
had some Seattle fans who blamed me for Russell Wilson
getting traded because I had him on and he did
that interview where he kind of aired his laundry, and
I went, all I did is ask a question. Normally
Russ doesn't give you anything of great detail, and he
(37:43):
gave me a whole lot there, and then I followed up.
And that's why I said, all along, I thought we
were going to have something similar to what we had
with the Rams and the Lions, where Matthew Stafford and
the Lions would mutually agree what's best for both is
to divorce. And that's exactly what happened in that situation.
We're talking to Mike Florio. The book is Playmakers, available
(38:05):
online wherever books are sold. So Brady gets what he wants.
I guess with Todd Bowles, the only thing that I'll
leave you with this one item. Does Bruce arians have
the autonomy to pick his successor? I mean, that's what
was surprising that it feels like ownership would say we
(38:26):
kind of want to know, you know, what our plan
is down the road. Bruce said, Hey, I wanted to
have Todd Bowles, and I'm all for Todd Bowles getting
another chance. I just didn't know that Bruce would have
that say, that power to name his successor. Well, look,
if what we're being told is true, and obviously I
(38:46):
have my doubts. Bruce arians put ownership in a very
tough spot by walking away when he did. Because if
I own a football team, I would at least like
to know as soon as possible after the season ends
that I'm going to be looking for a coach, because
because I was, I would leave. It's like to have
the opportunity to cast a wider net and consider my options.
Maybe I'd come back to tog balls at the end
(39:06):
of the day, but I'd at least like to have
the chance to try. What else are you going to do?
If you're the Buccaneers and your head coach leaves on
March thirty, you're going to start a search? Then you
can't under the rules, no team is required to let
you talk to any of their assistants under contract because
March one is when that window closes. That's why the
(39:26):
Rooney rule doesn't apply. That's a loophole by the way
that I think they're going to close because I as
soon as I as soon as I saw that the
Rooney rule doesn't apply to any vacancies after March one.
I thought, oh boy, Jerry Jones is gonna fire Mike
McCarthy after March one and hire Sean Payton or elevate
Dan Quinn. Now that Jerry Jones knows this exists, because
it's the first time it's ever happened, he's gonna use
(39:47):
it and they're gonna close that loophole before he can.
All right, before I let you go. The Baker Mayfield
story seems pretty quiet. Is it going to stay that
way for until the draft or after the draft? I
think both of these teams that are looking to trade
veteran quarterbacks with significant salaries, the forty nine ers with
Jimmy Garoppolo and the Browns with Baker Mayfield, I think
(40:07):
they want to wait at this point to see what
happens with the draft. That there's gonna be maybe a
team that is targeting a quarterback Round one or two.
If they don't get him, then maybe a trade market
emerges at some point, though it gets very awkward because
you can't lock the guy out of the facility if
he wants to show up. And if I'm Baker Mayfield,
deal with me. I'm not gonna go sit in the corner.
You gotta deal with me, or you gotta cut me.
(40:28):
Even though these guys don't have no trade clauses, you
have a lot of power when you're a starting quarterback.
If a team is going to trade for you and
you don't want to go there, good luck getting that
team to give up any significant assets for that contract.
That could be a mess for any team that tries
to trade for Garoppolo or Mayfield. Mayfield's got a ton
of power also because his salary is fully guaranteed. He's
getting eighteen point eight million this year no matter what.
(40:50):
So it's a mess for the Browns and for the
forty nine ers. It's going to be one of the
fun storylines to keep an eye on as the offseason continues.
Also with the Rams with Bobby Wagner, I was just
thinking of that they keep kicking the salary cap down
the road signing these guys that you know they don't
need draft picks here. But Bobby Wagner's signing, I thought
(41:11):
it was a great pickup. I don't know costwise if
it is, but this plan the Rams keep buying into it.
Your thoughts on Wagner, well, two things. Five years fifty million,
I mean, how many times do we have to hear
the big number? Yeah, and then see the real numbers
and see the details and understand what the deal really
is before we become skeptical of the big number. I'm
(41:33):
skeptical of five years fifty million, but five years spreads
it out more into the cap. And here's the thing
to remember about the cap dollars. It goes up every year.
So a million dollars in cap space this year means
a lot more to a team than a million dollars
in cap space next year, because the CAP's going to
be hired. It's a smaller percentage. That's why teams kick
it forward. Because the CAP's gonna keep going up and
(41:54):
dan with the gambling money, with TV contracts, caps gonna
be three hundred million before we know it. So that's
why these teams do it. And if you're the Rams,
and you hey, Aaron Donald on the line, Bobby Wagnert linebacker,
Jaila Ramsey at corner, we're sleeping on the Rams. So
much talk last year about the Buccaneers repeating why aren't
we talking about the Rams? Repeating all the talents left
the NFC the Packers are down, the Bucks are still
(42:15):
going through a coaching change. We take for granted how
good Bruce Arians is on game day. They could beat
down a little bit. And here are the Rams. They're
right where they left off, and I think we need
to be thinking about them as a team that gets
back to the super Bowl and maybe wins it again.
I'll tell Bruce Arians you said alone. Please do Thank you, Mike,
have a great weekend. The book is Playmakers. It's a
great book how the NFL really works and doesn't available
