Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. Made it to a Friday. Welcome to the program.
Come on in, it's a meat Friday. Not sure what's
on the menu. I just know the trigger grills are
all fired up, and so are away, once again playing
with a man down, but playing to our strengths, with
that man down being mclovin eight seven seven three d

handle a DP show. We say good morning to our
TV partner Petecock. You can download the append watch all
three hours for free. Also our radio affiliates around the country.
We're numbering nearly four hundred cities, including KLAC in Los Angeles, Tampa,
Florida on w DAE, and the Big nine twenty in Wisconsin.

(00:46):
Thank you for your support. NFL announced the new policy
yesterday that could have a big effect on this upcoming season.
The league telling teams and a memo that if a
game is canceled due to a COVID outbreak due to
a team's unvaccinated players or staff, the team with the
outbreak will forfeit the game to make matters worse or

(01:07):
more serious. Players don't get paid for the game. The
NFL says he will not be adding a nineteenth week.
Last season, they played games on Tuesday, they played one
on Wednesday. That was a disastrous Wednesday game between the
Ravens and Steelers. And maybe it's just a coincidence, but
Pittsburgh entered that Week twelve game undefeated, won that game,

(01:28):
then lost five of the final six games of the
regular season and then their opening playoff game against the Browns.
I don't think the NFL is trying to make a
political statement here. They know better, even though that's what
the vaccine discussion has evolved into, and they don't have
a great history on player health on their side. The
NFL and its owners care about the owners and the

(01:51):
money staying on schedule. Go back to last year during
the pandemic, Draft on time, right, they adjusted it, but
they did it on time, Season on time. Eight games
were moved last year, not canceled, moved. You had college
football seasons, you had conferences canceled. That's not the way

(02:16):
the NFL works. That's a multi billion dollar business. Money
is the priority, and the second priority and the third priority,
which seems like the NFL is trying to protect the
business for which that means pressuring teams and players to
get vaccinated. I'm not going to make this a political

(02:37):
topic today, just not. This is about business and the
reaction here. You choose to get vaccinated or you don't.
It's up to you. But there's also consequences there. You
have the choice, but there's consequences. Just like I said
did the Danets. You don't want to get vaccinated, okay,
then we have to make other precautions. We have to

(02:59):
take other pres You have different policies you have to follow,
that's all. You want to work from home, you want
to zoom in, Okay, if you come in, I need
you to get tested, that's all. And I said this
to the den Ens. We will get through this. We're
not going to miss a show, and we did not.
But I said, this is my business and we have

(03:21):
to abide by certain guidelines here. We just do. And
that's what the NFL is doing. The NFL is saying
you don't have to get vaccinated. We strongly encourage you
to get vaccinated. And people want to make this a
political moment here. I understand the politics attached to this,

(03:41):
but this is about financials, that's all this is. This
is about the bottom line of a business. People thought
loan with the NFL ratings drop. They didn't last year.
It's full speed ahead. And there have been different players
who've come out and said they're not getting vaccinated. DeAndre
Hopkins has said, not getting vaccinated, I'm, you know, basically

(04:06):
choosing to reconsider my future in the NFL. Okay, Jalen
Ramsey came out and said, hey, I know two people
who got vaccinated and they're COVID positive. Okay, Cole Beasley
with Buffalo, you don't want to do it, then you're
going to go into the facility and then you have

(04:26):
to go this way, whereas everybody else goes this way. Yes, Polly, Yeah.
The new policy on vaccinated players will be in like
a different category. When they're on the property. They'll have
severe protocols during training camp in the regular season, daily testing,
mask wearing where other players might not have to wear masks,
like in the hallways and so forth. Travel restrictions where

(04:47):
you may have to travel differently and stay in a
different set of areas. And this has happened. This happened
in college football as well. But understand what happened in
college football where conferences basically said, we can't do anything
about this, or we don't have the finances the resources
to be able to do this. The SEC has the
finances and the resources. They played right through it, and

(05:09):
look where they are right now. They're ready to add
Oklahoma in Texas and who knows who else. We're going
to talk about that coming up in a moment here.
But I don't want it to be political. I wanted
to be about the bottom line, because that's what it is.
It's about money. The NFL is trying to protect the
bottom line. And these owners lost all of that revenue.

(05:30):
They didn't have anybody showing up at games. They lost
all of that revenue. They want to get that revenue
back and they don't want some player or some players
getting in the way of that. That's what this is
all about. But you will have players who want to
make it political, and that's their right. But you just
have to understand this is green, not red in blue.

(05:55):
That's the way the NFL used this. This is about money,
not about if right or left. No Republican Democrat and
I understand the players. You don't want to be told
what to do, but it is your right as a
business person. It's my right to say to my guys,
to the danas and the back room guys, you must

(06:17):
abide by what I'm asking you to abide by, and
if not, then we'll make accommodations. There are different rules
in different sports with different people, maybe, but not in here.
We all had to abide by it. And I know
this is a small sample size, but we are very
close together proximity wise. There's twelve people in the building.

(06:41):
We're like a traveling basketball team. But we had to
make sure that we were looking out for everybody else.
And I said to the danas, this is the severity
of it. If something happens to me, it all goes away. Yeah, Polly,
and it goes I was just laughing because when you said,
if something happens to me, it goes away. I always
treated you the past year in half like Mahomes, like,

(07:03):
you know, if I missed a couple of weeks or
one of the guys in the back room is that
we have of weeks at full speed ahead. You know,
I'm like the fullback on the on the Chiefs. But
don't let Mahomes get get it. And remember last year
when Mahomes was in line to get a haircut and
the Chiefs, Yes, and the Super Bowl. He was a
couple away from getting a haircut from a barber who
was compromised. Yeah, and you're like, you can't anybody else

(07:24):
but Mahomes. Yeah. See. But you know, there has to
be a certain expectation, though, and understanding within the players
of that this is sort of the way the league operates, right.
I would hope if you've been in the league for
a little while that you want to protect your paycheck,
that that should be the approach here. Um. I did

(07:47):
talk to a league source yesterday and I said, I'll
bet you didn't have a good day to day and
he said, no, it's not as bad as what people
think it is. Because he said about seventy five percent
of the players in the NFL been vaccine And he said,
you know those numbers, those are encouraging numbers here. He said,
you're you're trying to have everybody understand what's at stake here.

(08:10):
The NFL will take the heat, They'll take the criticism.
I mean, they got heat around the draft. The NFL
doesn't care be like, um, okay, go ahead criticize us,
but we're still going full speed ahead. But they're also going, hey,
we're gonna be able here playing football. Plus they want
fans to be able to show up, they want they

(08:31):
want capacity here. But that that's sort of the cliff
notes version of what's going on with all of this.
But it's been kind of simmering here. As my source said,
they have heard from other players, not teams, owners, coaches.
It's been players individually who've said, you know my Amendment

(08:53):
rights and I should have you know, I should be
able to make my own decisions, and I don't want this.
And I know somebody who had COVID, I know somebody
who has hadn't been been vaccinated. They heard all these stories,
and my league source said, we together have to figure
all of this out. But this is coming from a
league that has a bad history on taking care of

(09:15):
its players, and the players know that. So the players
are saying, all right, do you really care about us?
And if you're asking that question, the answer is no,
they don't. You're all interchangeable. Tom Brady's going to retire
one day, and somebody else steps up, Patrick Mahomes retires,
somebody else steps up. Down through history, and I've been

(09:37):
around this sport for four decades, players come and go, oh,
how are they going to replace that guy? Or that guy?
They do far gone Rogers come on in, Roger's gone,
Jordan Love or whoever else come in. I mean, that's
the way it works. You're all interchangeable. Get your money

(10:00):
as long as you can. It's a short career. So
when DeAndre Hopkins says, hey, this has kind of caused
me to reconsider my NFL career and if I want
to play, and by the way, I got nine years
left on my career, have a good day. All right,
take a year off, go ahead, protect your money. Don't

(10:25):
for one moment think that by the NFL really cares
about it. The NFL cares about the NFL. You know,
you have that. They're really good at appearing to care.
They have the NFL. We appeared to care minimum kindness. Yes, yes, Todd.

(10:46):
How does that DeAndre Hopkins tweet get deleted? Everyone's look,
how's that strong feeling? And they don't take an extra
minute to think before they put something on social media.
Then all of a sudden, you know, maybe I shouldn't
have put that out. They kind of wait for a
public opinion, and all of a sudden recently deleted tweet droppings. Yeah,
I might have heard from the team, might have been
somebody who said, hey, you know what that may not age? Well, yeah, Paul,

(11:08):
Would you guys like to make a billion dollars real quick?
Can you come up with an app where when you
delete your tweet, it's also deleted from any other place
on Earth, on the Twitter, on any news story where
it's also on might be a trillion dollars. Trillion dollars.
Remember Mark Cuban had something called like cyberdust, where stuff
you post it goes away. But when you post something

(11:29):
like John draw Hopkins, Mike Florio gets it, puts in
a story, and it's in Mike's Florio story forever. You
can't get rid of that. If you could come up
with app that deletes universally tinging. But I remember a
friend of mine had a friend in the FBI, and
he said, you know, people think when you delete a
text that you delete it, And he goes, no, no,
it's there forever. You're going to, oh, I don't want

(11:52):
somebody to see that picture. Boom, it's there forever. I
always think when I clear my junk box, my deleted emails,
like one of those are gone. They're not, they are not.
Just I'm just letting everybody know that's from the FBI. Yes, yes,
that's a little disturbing. So where do they go exactly
and how easy it is for them to pull those Yeah,
you should be worried. Yeah, you should be worried. All right,

(16:16):
great supporter The Dan Patrick Show go the extra mile,
taking the all important forstep into an authorized dealership. Today.
This caught my attention. Kurt Bowles is a long time
writer Austin American Statesman, and he has plugged in and
he just sent out a tweet. Prominent Big twelve source
tells The American Statesman the Texas Oklahoma moved to the

(16:39):
SEC is almost done. Almost done. Goes on to say
that they've been working on this for a minimum of
six months and the A and M leadership was left
out of the discussions and was not told about it.
Move could become official in a week. Well, that escalated quickly.

(17:06):
Three days ago, wasn't a story. And then all of
a sudden started to hear some peter patter of a
couple of teams leaving Sea, Oklahoma in Texas. Yes, set,
if I'm Texas A and M, I am hurt, like

(17:26):
a like a jilted lover, like you're breaking up with me?
Like no, I'm not breaking up with you. My new
boyfriend just happened at coming out what what I thought
we had a thing? I thought this was working. Yeah,
and the fact that you don't include Texas A and
M and this, I would be a little frosty right now.

(17:48):
I would be hurt, My feelings would be hurt. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
If I have schools like Texas Tech and Oklahoma State,
and I'm like, all right, now we gotta shot. Let's
go clear out some of those ewe. Yeah, they don't
even have twelve in the Big twelve. It's like the
Big ten doesn't have ten. Big twelve can't even get twelve.

(18:11):
Now they're losing two more, They're going back to the
Big eight. Tag eight. Yeah, go back to the Big eight.
This is what I think will eventually happen. And I
don't have any inside information on this, but I did,
you know a couple of my college sources who were
dead on this past season with what was going on
with schools canceling or leagues canceling. And I talked to

(18:33):
one of my sources yesterday and I said, can you
see maybe the sort of the stages, the beginning stages
of an NFL type format for college football? You would
have maybe let's say you had forty teams. There's one
twenty five right now, but you can you know, there's

(18:55):
a lot of access there, and there's a lot of
schools that they do play and it's important for their
revenue bottom line other sports in the athletic department. I
understand that, but Let's say you had forty schools for
sixteen playoff spots. Now it's like the NFL, but you

(19:15):
have eight more teams. But you're going to get heavyweights
in there. Now, do you take it a step further
and do you make it like the Premiership where there's relegation.
Let's say a program, Indiana Football, for example, dormant for decades,
all of a sudden they move up. Now you have
four different tiers in soccer in Europe, and that's what

(19:40):
college football is going to become. You're going to have
the haves and then the have nots. And really you
have that now, I mean there's goals that you go
they have no chance of being really competitive on a
consistent basis. Sometimes you get the outlier. Sometimes you go, oh,
look at Boise State, you'll get that. Hawaii one year,

(20:00):
play Georgian a Bowl game, you might get that. But
you know, Wake Force is not competing for a national championship,
Vanderbilt not competing. But put them in a position in
another structure, another league, another format, and then you know
you're going to recruit accordingly. Plus you got these players
who are making money off their name, image and likeness.

(20:23):
We're gonna have a sixteen fifteen game schedule, sixteen game schedule.
I mean this, I think this is where we're heading.
I just don't understand the SEC is going to load
up on these schools. So what's going to happen with
Michigan and Ohio State, Wisconsin. What's going to happen with
Notre Dame, What's going to happen with Clemson? What's going

(20:44):
to happen with USC Oregon? Are they going to be
on the outside looking in? That's what I want to know.
If the SEC's gathering all these schools, they're collecting them,
and then are they just gonna do what restructure? But
it feels like this is a bigger picture to me,
would be I would have Greg Sanky the commissioner of

(21:06):
the SEC oversee the forty. He'd be the commissioner, he'd
be Roger Goodell, And it feels like he's already Roger
Goodell in college football. To me, he's the most powerful
guy in college football. But if you're going to have
this kind of outline forty schools, sixteen playoff berths, how

(21:27):
many games are you going to play? We're gonna let
you cash in on your name image and likeness. We're
not going to stand in the way of that, and
we're going to have a playoff system just like the
NFL does. You're going to have teams that are going
to be in the Western region, in the Southern region,
the northeastern, the Midwestern region, and you're going to always

(21:48):
have better games. Now, you're going to have some schools
that aren't competitive some years, but for the most part,
you're looking at who's going to be consistently competitive, and
you're going to have the top forty schools, and then
you're gonna have a playoff and you're gonna have your
your version of the Super Bowl National Championship Game. It

(22:08):
feels like that. And my source said you he goes,
you've said that, maybe you have the top sixty. He said,
I think that's too many schools. If you want to
do this and your model is the NFL, then maybe
you could get to forty schools, and maybe that's where
we're headed. You could do four I don't know if

(22:30):
I could do four twelve team conferences. Maybe I do
four ten team conferences. Maybe you do forty eight. But
I think if you have the sixteen playoffs, then you
might have some magic here and look, let's get rid
of the student athlete that that mean, come on, let's

(22:50):
stop with that that that's on life support. And and
the NCAA is basically said that like they're moving out
of the way, as if they haven't already. But we're
gonna look at these college players as professionals, and we
should up during the pandemic. But I think that's where

(23:11):
we're headed. Players are going to get some players are
going to get what they want, and these conferences and schools,
you just don't want to be one of those teams
that goes. I don't know. I think that's why Oklahoma
and Texas decided that all right, let's go. Yeah, Paul,
you know the other thing about that plan you're talking about,
if you had forty teams and Greg Sanky in that office,

(23:34):
we're in charge of it. It could be like the
NFL where he's in charge of scheduling, not the schools.
So he schedules it. That's the best for the fans,
the best for the network. Imagine a schedule release party
in college football. You know where to travel, where to tailgate.
You know, Ohio State's not going to play Young Sound
State Week one, they're gonna play USC week one. Yeah,

(23:56):
I think that's where we're headed. Now. I don't know
the time frame for that, but I do think we're
headed in that direction. Yes, it doesn't there seem like
there's a way to find more than enough money to
keep everybody rich in that scenario. Oh, they're gonna make
more money in this scenario, That's what I'm saying. So
why would you? Why would What are the major hurdles
in that side of of like promotion relegation scenario. I

(24:23):
don't know if you're gonna have somebody sign off on
somebody getting left out, but but imagine if you had
a game and that game decided who was going to
stay in the big conference in the league. I mean,
we see this in the Premier League, where there's a
whole lot attached to that, the amount of money that's

(24:44):
attached to it, the entire community that's attached to that.
All of a sudden, you're way more interested in Rutger's
final game of the season than you were any other year.
You know. Yeah, let's see if they're going to stay
in the big Tenant out or whatever the conference would
be called. Yeah, I just think we're headed in that
direction because it comes down to money, and I mean,

(25:06):
why why do you have It's nice when Ohio State
will play Youngstown State. It's great for Youngstown State. And
occasionally you'll get, you know, a surprise. But I think
college football needs to be honest with college football and
say we just have a certain group of teams, schools

(25:27):
they're always there, and the other ones, Hey, you might
have a chance, but really you don't. But if you
extend it to sixteen teams for the playoffs and follow
the format of the NFL. I'll ask Brady Quinn, former
Notre Dame quarterback, he's going to join us a little

(25:47):
bit later on yeah, point. I have the final power
rankings of the Division One teams last year for college football.
Let's say, like you said, as forty teams. You know,
teams like last year, you know, Auburn is thirty eight,
they be on the cuss. But can you imagine a
year where you know, West Virginia was forty five. That's
good football team, all Miss Kentucky or in the fifties,

(26:07):
you know ls you had a down year for them,
but image, you know, imagine one of these these schools
that's a powerhouse drops Penn State. What were they four
and five last year? Imagine a team like that being
relegated and what that would mean to the next year
at that stadium that holds up zillion people. Or then
but then a team like Minnesota goes up, you know,

(26:29):
and they get back in. But how do you relegate though?
Because I have to have the final rank Imagine if
you have the final rankings party. I mean, this is
all made for TV. I mean, that's what you have
to think about when you go. There's tradition, and there's
pomp and certain there's a bowl game, don't you got
to think about? And this is money and how do
we maximize this and make more money? That's what the

(26:53):
NFL does. They're like, we won another game, all right,
there's another regular season game. We're gonna put in another
playoff team. They don't care college football, should you know.
Let's just stop with this of what it used to
be back in the sixties because it's not. And then
that second tier. The title game for the second tier,
let's say it's Oregon State versus Arkansas, and the winner

(27:15):
of that game doesn't just get a cute trophy, they
move up backed up to D one. That'd be fun.
We fix this whole thing in one second, Yes we did.
It would be the best thing to happen to college
football since like I don't even know herschell Walker. Sure, yeah,
yeah it's Johnny. I don't even know, Like yeah, but
you just have the old guard that's gonna say no,

(27:36):
that's not the way we do it. You know, this
is the way we do it. No nobody that nobody cares.
They didn't used to wear a face mask. Are you
posted face mask? That's the way we used to do it.
We didn't wear a face mask. We were disfigured, and
we're proud they only had five people die that season.
But that's football. The fact that you had players who

(27:59):
died playing football back in the early nineteen hundred eighteenth
Johnson at quarterback Johnson that like the president has to
step in and be like, hey, we might want to
chill out with this. We might want to figure out
all the deaths in football. It happened back Yeah, I
think it's real. Was it Roosevelt who stepped in? Yeah,
he wasn't soft either, you know, it was tough. It

(28:22):
was a man's man. But if you go back to
like six oh seven or eighties, Like, we're gonna take
a year of college football and see how we can
have less deaths. Yes, if they ever did anything like that,
which would be obviously amazing, But how does that affect
Like the transfer portal. You're a student athlete and you
agree to go to a school that is Division one
one minute, and then the next minute they're not. Now
everybody wants a mass exodus and get out of there
because they didn't want to be with the team. But
it's no longer Division one. It happens in soccer. It

(28:45):
happens in soccer. You're gonna have transfer fee here. It's
gonna be wild, it's all I mean, who would have
thought that Oklahoma and Texas would all of a sudden go,
uh you guys, you know, don't wait for us. We're
gonna go outside for a moment here, and then they
don't come back from the meeting. Hey said Jack Jack Oklahoma,

(29:09):
anybody see, And all of a sudden they get in
the same car in the parking lot. We're out of here. Yeah,
remember the other day when this first bubbled up. I look,
I took your side. I'm like, I don't believe the story.
I don't. I can't believe this is real. Well the fact,
and you know, Paul Feinbaum said that they've been working
on this a long time, and Kurt Bowles from The

(29:30):
American Statesman echoed this. He said, they've been working on
this for six months now. These are the same schools
that like you couldn't make fun of down horns. Now
all of a sudden, they're in cahoots and they're going
to the SEC wild money changes everything. We love Oklahoma,

(29:56):
Jeremy and Alabama. Hey, Jeremy, what's on your mind? Uh?
Back back in my day, damn, we didn't have regular
jock straps. We wore a wooden block. That's the way. Um.
You know. Ever since, like this right here, I have
always felt sorry for the teams like Appalachian State that

(30:18):
just had a great year, had great seasons, was always dominant,
Georgia Southern, Georgia State. You know these teams I thought
was always are Georgia Southern that always had great years,
And then they kept moved up to the sun Belt
and they're like, hey, for all that whining, you know,
here's your prize, the Camilla Bowl. You know, yeah, you

(30:39):
know this this this next move and it can. It
could help them out because then they could go back
to where they were and back to that dominance. And
Todd Fritz have a great day, buddy. Thank you Todd.
Well about that, Jeremy says, I have a great daytime.
I appreciate that. Did you come up with a poll
question today? Since you're doing those duty point and I

(31:00):
have a few different pole questions which I would love
to share. Okay, Poul had if you could win a
gold in a niche sport team handball, archery, bad minton
or mitton it's spelled with an end though, fencing, judo,
water polo, other A lot of good stuff in there,
so it's it's a niche sport. I just gave a
handful of them. But if one of those non prime

(31:22):
sports of the Summer Olympics, I like team handball a lot.
That's a fun sport I played a little bit of
in college. And it is bad minton mint, isn't it,
But we don't pronounce the n. It's bad mitten. Bad minton. Yeah,
water polo. Those guys are in good shape. They are
in a lot of work, Oh a lot of work.
I went to a match at the Olympics. That is

(31:45):
a contact sport. The horses don't like now they don't.
I stole that from Schoen. From everybody, you're pretty mud
Can I answer a question about team handball? Just didn't
a country get in trouble because they had briefs on
and they were supposed to wear shorts or they had
shorts on, but they needed to wear briefs first. They
needed to wear bikini bottom. Why, I guess that's the uniform.

(32:07):
Usually the other way where they say like, hey, you
got to wear something with oh I know, and you know,
like beach volleyball, like that's a site. I mean that
that's they wanted to be a site. When when I
was in London for the Olympics and watching that, I mean,
first of all, the competition, the athletes are incredible, but

(32:28):
they wanted to be You want to come out and
watch that sport in person? Yes. So there's like fencing, equestrian, diving,
those guys are in good shape, Judo, rhythmic gymnastics. Oh,
it's fun. That's the one I want to win Golden
They wear a nose plug, but they don't have men's
rhythmic gymnast except for Will Ferrell and Old. That's the

(32:49):
one I want to win. Yeah, you get you have
a shot up being the world's greatest. Would rhythmic Jim Nast?
Would you be fine with that? I would be great
with that. You would? What about synchronized swimming? They why
aren't there men synchronized swimming? I know you. Here's a
good one trampoline that's a sport now on the past

(33:10):
couple Olympics, that's what you could do it in people's backyards.
MANU show to show up to a cookout and someone's
got the trampoline and you're the gold medalist. No, I
think I think bad mitton because it seems like just
a nice backyard sport, and then you get in there
and you're like, wait, wait, yeah, that's These are all
the worst backyard barbecue. People are like, oh, hey, Fourth
of July barbe Yeah you didn't invite Ted, did you? Great,

(33:33):
he's gonna get on the trampoline again. Did you take
down the trampoline? You don't want ping pong? Yeah? I
would want to be a Badassi in ping pong. Yeah,
it's a table tennis. Oh, I'm sorry by my apology
accepted on behalf of the World. Play of the Day's
up next. Poll question the ones I know, but I

(33:53):
got to take a product all, don't go Friday Fritzian. No,
is this like three other decent polls. I'll understand. We
have to before the show, you were Friday Fritzie. You
had a comment on everything. Was that a good thing?
Or was that too much? It is too much? Too much?
It was too much, so much so that Seton got
a little upset with you. He did. There's a lot
of talking about vanilla ice cream. No because you interrupted, Seaton. No,

(34:16):
it's not. It's been a week of just whenever you're
talking and somebody else can talks right over here, sometimes
they're telling you your story right back to you. Why
it really annoying? Hold on second, Just let me get
the words out and then I'll finish the story. Yeah, Ton,
that's all. I need to work on being a better listener.

(34:37):
Let's take a break. I get very hyper and I
have something very hyper. Let's take a break. Did you
listen to me saying let's take a break. That would
be my turn or our turn to not Let's take
a break. Play of the Day is up next. Back

dan dot com, customize your system, get a free security camera,
more phone calls on college football, and the report that
it feels like within a week Oklahoma and Texas are
moving to the SEC. All right, Paulie, The Cleveland Indians

(36:49):
are going to be the Cleveland Indians for the rest
of this season, I believe. And then they change their name. Yes,
the Indians have announced a name change. Actually used a
video with Tom Hanks as part of it. Oh, now
I'm gonna see if you guys can guess what name
they went with. No one in this room knows besides myself.
A month ago they did a fan pole two months ago,
i should say, and here were the top five that

(37:11):
were picked by the fans. They did go with one
of these five, the Spiders, the Rockers, the Guardians, Cleveland
Baseball Club, or the Municipals Spiders, Rockers, Guardians, Cleveland Baseball Club, Municipals, Fritzie,
what do you think they went with? I think they
were with Rockers. I mean the Rockers, you know, Cleveland

(37:32):
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame secon CBC. The Cleveland
Baseball Club. Yeah, okay, taking a page out of the
Washington football team. Um. I was thinking they'd pay tribute
to the Cleveland Spiders. That was a team back in
the late eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundreds. M. I'm gonna

(37:57):
now they used to play at Cleveland Municipals, State Medium Spiders, Rockers, Guardians,
Cleveland Baseball Club or Municipals. Municipals is too that's too
big of a word. Man, I'm gonna. I'm gonna go. Rockers,
Please welcome. You're Cleveland Guardians, the Guardians, the Guardians. No, No,

(38:26):
it's on No, it's on the Guardians. That's not good,
hear me in the back of the guards. M. The
explanation is, I don't know much about Cleveland. M. The
connections of the famous Guardians of traffic sculpture on the
Hope Memorial Bridge was one of the reasons Guardians was
very popular in the fan vote. Yes, Hunt, you guard
the Galaxy, you don't guard Cleveland. I just that's so weak. Yeah,

(38:49):
I think every one of those was better than that
one they picked, like the worth one of the five.
I would have gone with spiders too. Spiders kind of fun. Yeah,
Rockers could, Like you could really I always think about merchandise,
like what are you selling with the Guardians, Like, what's
it look like? Spiders? And it could be they could
have great uniforms there. You could have a spider walking

(39:11):
around right scaring kids. It just drops out of the top. Florida. Yeah,
you got balcony. You know a certain section is going
to be the web, Like you get to sit in
the web. Nobody gets out of the web. It would
be like the Dog Pound Rockers, come on, you could
have actual Spider night. Everyone first ten fans get an

(39:33):
actual spider the ring all Guardians Jeff and Florida. Hey, Jeff,
what do you have for me today? By hey? Uh?
The idea of the forty teams uh uh. In the
NCAA that that makes for maybe exciting football. But I
think relegation just just takes it up ten more notches. Okay,

(39:56):
here's a scenario. Here's a scenario. You gotta you got
a group of alumni. They they're able to put their
money together. They essentially buy a great football team. And
so now you know, any Jimmie Lipper university can now
possibly make it up into the end of the forty. Well, look,

(40:18):
I guess everything's on the table here, Jeff, thank you.
It's like name, image and likeness. If I'm a billionaire
and I want to take care of my quarterback over
the offensive line, there's no rules. All you gotta do
is report the money I give you. I'll make up
a job for you. Imagine recruiting. If you go Hey,
if you go there and you start, you're the offensive lineman,

(40:41):
you get a million dollars. Like, what's that to a billionaire?
What if Nike really gets involved with Oregon football, like
really gets involved, you know, Phil Knights Like, uh, what
do I need to spend here? I'm gonna guess you
gotta spend twenty five million this year? All right, let's
do it. Yeah, I just have the old boosters down south.

(41:01):
They're like, so I don't have to give the kid
a bag of money. I give him a check and
this is all above board. There's a W two here, Yes,
what if there was a scenario where relegation was on
the line in the final seconds and how to make
that decision the extra point to tie it and take
your chance in overtime or you do the win or
lose two point conversion with relegation on the line. All right,
let's settle on a pull question here. Which one do

(41:22):
you want to go with? You want to do the
should NFL? Should the NFL? Do we want to do that?
I mean it seems heavy with COVID protocols and I
don't know we have whose career would you want? Tom
Brady or Michael Phelps. I threw that one out there
that the Buccaneers getting their rings the Olympics timely? You know,

(41:42):
why did they make these Super Bowl rings ugly? Why
did they look so gaudy? I mean, if you look
back in the in the late sixties, early seventies, these
rings now are at least two and a half times
the size of those, and you can't wear it. I've
been to a Hall of Fame ceremony where the old

(42:04):
guys wear their Hall of Fame ring and you don't
realize they have their Hall of Fame ring on because
it looks like it's a college or a high school ring.
Now it's a damn doorknob, and you can't wear it.
This is what I'm thinking. I'll give you the big ring.
You can put it in your safe deposit box or

(42:25):
whatever you want to do, put it under a glass
lock and key. But I give you a smaller ring.
It's almost like your wife's engagement ring. And then there's
the wedding ring. You wear the wedding ring, you may
not wear your engagement ring. How about a wearable Super
Bowl ring? Understated, cool but not gaudy. Yes, seton. There's

(42:46):
a dude from my hometown named Allie Clark and he's
a baseball player. Ye bardies, Yeah, And he won two rings.
He won one with the Yankees and one with the Indians,
and he used to wear the one from the Yankees
all the time and it was completely worn down. It
was small, but he wore it every single day and
all of the writing and stuff like that completely worn away.
It was awesome. More on the COVID testing with the

(43:09):
NFL and what the end result could be coming up
top of the hour. What are the Lakers going to
do in the off season? Have that as well. Busy
hour coming up, Dan Patrick, show one more item in
the first hour, rockauto dot com. You got a part
that you need for your car truck. You can't find it.
So what do you do? You start phoning, driving, waiting
in lines. Don't do that anymore. Don't waste the time

(43:31):
and money hunting for these parts. Go to rockauto dot com.
You're going to find the correct parts for both old
and new cars. You can't just pour ten W thirty

computers and catalogs behind the part store counter. In second,

low prices, So don't waste time and money. Go to
