Twitter handle at DP show. I saw where nine first
year eligible players are among the one hundred and seventy
three nominees for the twenty twenty four class of the
(01:08):
Pro Football Hall of Fame, the nine Julius Peppers, Antonio Gates,
Brandon Marshall, Jordi Nelson, Jamal Charles, t J Lang, Josh Sitton,
Max Unger, and Helod Nanda. They combined for twelve first
team All Pro selections, forty two Pro Bowls. And it's
(01:30):
we go through this process every single year, and are
we going to get to the point that Deon Sanders
has talked about we have too many in the Hall
of Fame And is there way to differentiate distinguish between
those who get in first ballot and those who just
get into the Hall of Fame. I have no problem
treating those players who were special and having a special floor.
(01:52):
You want to have a penthouse at the Pro Football
Hall of Fame in Kenton, Ohio. I think that would
be pretty cool. But all you're saying is if you
get in on the first ballot, we're going to put
you in a special place. Nothing wrong with that. You know,
everybody's a Hall of Famer, but not everybody's on the
same level of the Hall of Fame. And if you
want to do that in other sports, first ballot Hall
(02:14):
of Famer, I have no problem with that. I like
celebrating more people going into the Hall of Fame. Dion
says it's too watered down, And I understand that from
his perspective because he wants to be in the penthouse
with the other first ballot Hall of famers. But these
are the latest nominees. So there's one hundred and seventy
(02:35):
three nominees on the ballot for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame. But if I go through who's a Hall
of Famer, and really this should be the litmus test,
it's not. But if I say Julius Pepper's Hall of
Fame right away, yes, no, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, long career, a lot of ten SAX.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Seasons, Okay, got suspended for I think it was like
a fedro. Uh yeah, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Throw what curveball here? While Julius Peppers is a Hall
of Famer, I think I'd rather have Halod Nada on
my team. I don't think Halodi Nada's run was near
as long as far as dominance. I thought Helod Nada
was a wrecker.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Okay. Is anybody a first ballot Hall of Famer? Oh
that's different too. If I say Antonio Gates, who was
also suspended. He's a Hall of Famer right, his numbers
as a tight end, now he gets lost in the
shuffle here with you Tony Gonzalez, you got Gronk, you
certainly have Travis Kelcey. Then you have the other tight ends.
(03:39):
And Antonio Gates had incredible numbers. Never got to play
in that big game, but he always had incredible numbers.
Former basketball player, Yes, Mar, what.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Do you say about those guys like maybe Shannis Sharper,
Chris Carter that weren't first ballad But in your head
you're like, they weren't first ballid. That's surprising, almost like
a t O.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Also, well, I don't know if the vote liked Chris Carter.
I think his personality rubbed people the wrong way. It's
not supposed to factor in, certainly with the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. They're not supposed to factor in you
off the field, at least that's what I've been told.
But is Chris Carter first ballot Hall of Famer? Sure?
Is Shannon Sharp first ballel Hall of Famer? Absolutely? But
(04:20):
I don't think anybody here is a first ballot Hall
of Famer. Julius Peppers, Antonio Gates, Brandon Marshall. Yeah, you
know Hall of Famers, but I don't, at least the
first two Antonio Gates and Julius Peppers hall of Famers.
I'm glad I don't have to vote on this. I
struggle enough with the Heisman Trophy, like I really care
(04:43):
about it because I understand the significance of it. I
knew what it meant when I was growing up. I
don't know if it means as much to these players,
maybe as much as it's just a marketing thing for them,
chance to cash in, maybe do a Nissan Heisman commercial
with Baker Mayfield. But when it comes to Hall of
(05:03):
Fame and you know, being able to get in, when
you get in, you know, is it a veterans committee?
But voting on this is really tough. And what happens
is you get guys who come in and basically will
stump for somebody, they'll campaign for somebody. They go in
trying to sell you on why this person deserves to
go in. I don't know if you have people who
(05:26):
go in and say why somebody shouldn't be in, but
you do have people representing these athletes.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Tom Brady famously wrote a letter for Jason Taylor. The
Dolphins talk about how great. I mean, if you got
Brady endorsing you, how can a voter go, well, I
don't know. It's that guy was chasing that guy, and
he wrote a letter about how great Jason Taylor was. Yeah, points, Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
There's a guy like Brandon Marshall who was a great
wide receiver but may have trouble getting the Hall of
Fame because his career went for a few places Denver, Miami,
Chicago Jets. But let's compare Marshall the wide receiver to
Calvin Johnson. Calvin Johnson had one season with one hundred
or more receptions. Brandon Marshall had six seasons with one
hundred more receptions. Calvin Johnson had one season with over
(06:12):
ten touchdown catches. I'm sorry he had fox, Sorry he
had four. Brandon Marshall also had four seasons over ten.
But Brandon Marshall didn't do it for one team. It's
weird like Brandon Marshall might have a tougher time getting
the Hall of Fame than Calvin Johnson.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh yeah, Calvin Johnson first MALLA Hall of Famer Marshall.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I never felt that Calvin Johnson was.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
First MALLA Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
No, I thought his he had four great years and
then he quit.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I think he was always the man. Imagine if he
played for somebody other than the Lion for sure, right,
and then who were your quarterbacks? If you factor that in,
who did Brandon Marshall have throwing to him? And then
who did Calvin Johnson have throwing to him? I guess
you got to factor that in as well. But you know,
first the Hall of Famer, I don't have a problem
(07:01):
if you want to, and I don't want to differentiate
like third floor, second floor, first floor, and then somebody's
in the basement of the Hall of Fame. I just
wanted one floor, first ballot, Hall of Fame. That'll be
the top floor.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Okay, like the Gold level, that's it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The Gold Club, Yes, oh, Gold Gold Club. Okay, let's
go yeah, yeah, yeah, I go there for the buffet, yeh.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Seon how much of the the Calvin Johnson or Brandon
Marshall thing is based on where you're drafted. One one
went second overall, the other one was a fourth round
draft pick. Immediately coming into the league, you're seeing at
different levels. So Calvin Johnson going into the league was
already like a super stud wide receiver because of just
(07:48):
based on what he did in college and where he
was drafted.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Right, But sometimes you won't get the recognition because you're
supposed to be great, as opposed to, Oh my god,
have you seen this Cooper Cup guy? He got so
much attention because nobody knew who he was, as opposed
to this guy coming into the league. He's supposed to
be great, and I think sometimes that can work against you,
just like you know, Pauli's saying, Calvin Johnson only had
(08:14):
four seasons that were great.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, in my opinion, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
But he should have had more. He's Calvin Johnson. You
were a high draft pick, whereas Brandon Marshall had maybe
better numbers, more consistent numbers for a longer period of time,
and he was more of a surprise.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
You kind of feel like with Calvin Johnson though in
his career, it wasn't his fault that the Lions weren't
winning exactly, you know what I mean. It wasn't his fault. Yes,
it was everybody else's fault. Somebody else should have done
something more because he did what he was supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But is he the receiving version of Matthew Stafford. Oh yeah,
where I mean, Matthew Stafford's going to be a Hall
of Fame room because he won the Super Bowl. Right, No,
but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
No, not Marvin saying he shouldn't. You're saying he is.
You're both right.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I'm saying he's going to get in. I'm saying because
if he just had his career with Detroit, he to me,
he's not a Hall of Famer. I mean, he's just
a you know, East Coast version of Philip Rivers.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yes, Mark, Matthew Stafford has I think one Pro Bowl,
not even like at all pro not even a season.
He doesn't have like a Matt Ryan type of season
where it's he was the MVP. Well, and he's got
a Super Bowl, He's got Brad Johnson.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Is he is accumulated, he's a compiler, and then he
won a Super Bowl. Okay, put Trent Dofring he got
a Pro Bowl too. Yeah, but his numbers aren't close
to Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Yeah, Calvin Johnson, Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You can make the case that Detroit Lions had the
most physically talented running back, wide receiver and quarterback in
the last fifty years physically talented. No one questioned Matt
Stafford's ability to throw the ball. I mean big arm bit,
one of the biggest arms Calvin Johnson.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Not literally.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, no, I don't think it's that big thing. But
I think Barry Sanders of Calvin Johnson are like first
ballot ability.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yes, I would agree with that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Sorry lines fan.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yes, this is a very local reference, but I'm sure
a certain portion of our audience will really appreciate it.
This person, Matt wrote, the Hall of Fame is like
living in Laguna Beach. Some people live on the ocean.
Some people can see the ocean. Some people live in
a seventies house obstructed by someone else with more money,
But you all.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Live in Laguna. I get it. Thank you, Matt, I
get it. Matt, well done. That is the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
You're on the beach, on the beach, or somebody is
looking at your house on the beach.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yes, Dion is on the beach.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
But they can still walk to the beach when they
need to.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yes, somebody's got an obstructed view and they're in the
Hall of Fame. Yes, Ton. Isn't it possibly giving.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
The voters too much power if we make separate wings
or have the special wing that these this group decides
who should be in the Pentagon.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Wouldn't you be interested if I said, I mean, how
many times do you go? Wow? I can't wait to
see what the results are of the Hall of Fame
where you go. For the most part, we know who's
going to go into the Hall of Fame. I mean
sometimes we're surprised. But to be a first ballot Hall
of Famer, now, all of a sudden, you get a
celebration on top of a celebration, and then you get
(11:18):
the first ballot Hall of Famers who then welcome him
into the club.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
But is it the best interest of the Hall of
Fame and the NFL to have we want to create
this debate forever in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It's like, how is this one not in the penthouse
or this one?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
There, but shouldn't be?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Is that a good thing?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yes? They want conversation, they want to bathe absolutely. If
you went to the Hall of Fame and I said
there is a gold club, are you going up to
see that? Are you going to make sure that you
go up and see that?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
If I'm already at the Hall of Fame, it's a curiosity.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
But I think ultimately for me, I think you're either
make the Hall of Fame or you don't.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
I'm uncomfortable with wings or national section.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
First bull Hall of Fame. That's it.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
You can put that on the plaque somewhere that you
were a first bout. I don't know about like those
busts go to the top floor.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I definitely want it.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah, yeah, I agree that the only there shouldn't be wings,
there shouldn't be anything. The only designation is you were
either first ballot or you got in. That's just it,
That's all you need. Yes, because first ballot is something special.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I love it, Yes, mart.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Can you imagine too looking at Steve Largent, like, wait,
he gets to go into the champagne rooms, he gets
to go into the club. I'm down here. I could
see the velvet rope. I was better than him, or
maybe as good. Can you imagine that type of you know, Patty.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You didn't get in.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
The voter's fault.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Don't blame Steve Largent, don't don't blame him.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I like the idea when like Hall of famers are like,
it's getting a little crowded.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
In here, if you know, what I mean going upstairs
and they're the only ones who can go up there,
the other Hall of Famers. So you have somebody there
velvet ropes, somebody tries to get in. You're like, uh
uh I think uh I think second you were second
(13:09):
year that you go so sorry, Hey, I'm a Hall
of Famer too.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
I know you.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, sure, I know you're. Yeah, but not on this floor.
Not You're a Hall of Famer down downstairs. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yes, you make James Harrison the bouncer, he's just stand
their weight. You know what you get in when you
go to those real nice hotels and you got to
go in the elevator and swipe your car down your
room and you press four and then you swipe your
card and you hit pH and it won't let you
go to pH. You get those kind of cards.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yes, but within this.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Gold Club we're talking about, is there a main stage
and then our periphery? How far do we break it
down or is it just that one penthouse level?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Well there even is it?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Then it's just keep it simple. It's one floor of it,
all right. I know you don't like it, but it's
a top floor. It's the Gold Club. It's first balance.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
You also had mentioned something abou different colored jackets.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
I don't know if you were being facetious, So you'd
like to see different shades of gold.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Dan talked about that.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Yeah, that's so, that's a little far.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
But once again, you stand out in the crowd and
then people go, oh, wow, who's that. He was a
first ballot Hall of Famer back in the sixties. Oh,
it is this conversation you want to create. You know this,
this is what you want. We just filled up ten minutes.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Just wearing the red jacket. He's kind of made the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
But that's that's not true. There's no red jacket.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Ton if they went in that direction, everything, no what.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And I just said what did I just say? Really simple?
First ballot, we're going to put you up on the
top floor. You can have a gold jacket, you know,
a more gold jacket.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
This little group of voters gets to decide the immortality
of the pentasse.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
They're deciding the immortality of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Yeah, but it's just. But if it's just you're either
a Hall of Famer or not, it's one thing. But
now you're deciding who gets their bust on the top floor.
This group, some of them may not like a certain player,
or they're old and they haven't been followed some of
the years.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's what happens getting into the Hall of Fame. They're
doing it either way. Yes, they're deciding who gets a
bust and who doesn't.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yeah, and it really stands out more when you're now
designating a these are the real real Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Me just me, Oh, I know that today. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Even in the morning meeting. He had some takes today
that we were like, okay, what's going.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
On to be controversary. I just that's my opinion. Is
really the penthouse and like you're on the one of
the lower.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
D Aaron Rodgers can't have surgery like normal people does.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
He has as a super special surgery. You do like that?
You did say that.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Yeah, he goes up on top of the mountain and
they put little pins and needles in him and no
one else knows about this special way to be able
to come back in six months from it.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh, what do you think he's so great?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
All of a sudden, he's the one that knows the
super secret, so greedy one doesn't everybody do it?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He went to an actual doctor, not some guy at
a mountain. He was an actual end immunized.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
All of a sudden, He's back week twelve because he
had this special procedure done that no one ever heard of.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Whatever might be back for the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Right, Okay, but isn't that a good story? Isn't that
a good thing? I guess, I guess, Rogers.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
It seems like Aaron Rodge has something figured out that
the rest of the world of athletes don't good.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I mean, if he did find something great and he
can come back, great show Heyo Tani having surgery. By
the way, it was the Dodgers surgeon who did the
surgery on show. Heytani, relationship already gonna be with the Dodgers.
It'd be like, hey, come on in, here's your team doctor.
He's going to be doing your surgery. Okay, we're just

Speaker 5 (19:12):
I think we're gonna go with two for the first hour, now, okay,
first one is should the Pro Football Hall of Fame
have a wing just for first balloders?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Okay, all right, all right?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
And then I think we're also going to go with
if you were an Amazon TV executive, would you allow
Ryan Fitzpatrick to shave his beard? Allow him to of
course it's his face, or absolutely not hashtag branding.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Okay, uh yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I'll jump in on this. If I'm Ryan Fitzpatrick's boss,
I would like at least a heads up if there's
any big shaving or changes in the beard hair, because
that's part of the money.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Maye.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
He's a very good analyst. The beard is also very
part of big part of it.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But what if his wife says, all right, let's go,
we're done with this.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I'm paying the bills. I'm Joe Amazon.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Oh no, no, no, he might be paying the bills,
but somebody's running the house.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Is there still fits magic though without Is it a
little bit like Samson and you cut the hair, you
cut the beard.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Yeah, it's a little less bits magical, I think.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
All right, let's ask him Ryan Fitzpatrick, who joined just
We have the Niners and the Giants coming up Thursday night,
Thursday Night Football and Ryan, of course one of the
analysts there on the program. Prime Video starts at eight
point fifteen Eastern Thursday Night Football tonight. All right, is
it in your contract that you must keep your beard?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I don't think it's written in the contract, although it
was mentioned to me that it was a very important
thing that I kept my beard, So I am not
shaving it. I also just funny Anecdote was doing a
commercial and they were nervous I shaved my chest hair,
so they had yak hair. I shaved my chest hair
(20:53):
because that was going to be a big part of
the commercial.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
They put yak hair on your chest for the commercial.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, let me see, I got it in here somewhere.
It's in my trophy case, but just in case, they
had it on set because they were nervous that I
was shaving my chest.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, well, is it part of your identity though? Do
you feel like that if you did shave, does that
take away something from you?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah? I mean I could go I could be completely
anonymous if I shave my beard. I don't think people
would recognize me. But you know, my kids are kind
of the driving force behind it now. My daughters have
no interest. They've seen me shave my beard once or
twice and have no interest ever seeing that man again.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Wow. All right, that's all we needed to know. Ryan.
You know, I have a great game tomorrow night. We
were just talking about the Hall of Fame. Dan has
brought this up before. Could you have a top floor
that will distinguish differentiate the first ballad Hall of Famers?
So you make it it's special for the Hall of Fame.
Now you get something that's even more special for guys
(22:01):
who are first ballot Hall of Famers. What do you
think of that idea.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I think it's a great idea. You know, it's gonna
be interesting coming up here, just the way that the
stats have blown up in the last fifteen years, especially
with quarterback play. When Richard Sherman and I love to
have these debates all the time of you know, is
he a first ballot guy? Is he going to get
(22:25):
in the Hall of Fame. But if you strictly look
at numbers of some of these guys, you're looking at
Matt Ryan's numbers. You're looking at Matthew Stafford's numbers. Now,
Russell Wilson the first one to ever do what he
did with the passing yards and the rushing yards, and
he's got a Super Bowl under his belt. It's like,
how many of these guys that were looking at that,
we're saying, well, gosh, I guess I could see him
(22:47):
getting in the Hall of Fame. I think making a
tear or distinction is a good idea.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Matthew Stafford Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
He's one of my favorite quarterback I've ever watched, But
I just think there were too many empty years in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Okay, Matt Ryan.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I think if he wins that Super Bowl, it becomes
very easy. But I mean, Matt Ryan statistically, I don't
have it in front of me, but I think he's
probably top five in yards yeah, in his career or
somewhere up there. So he had some pretty good years
in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I would say, yes, he's got sixty three thousand yards.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yeah, that's I mean, I'm telling you some of these
discussions are going to happen with these quarterbacks coming up,
It's going to be very difficult. It's going to be
difficult to get in, but it's going to be difficult
to say no to a lot of these guys with
their numbers.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Can Russell Wilson play himself out of the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Is he playing himself out of the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yes? I think he is. That's going to be an
interesting one this week too at Miami or I don't
know if they're they're playing Miami, But who's whose fault
is that going to be as that continues to go south?
Is that Sean Payton or is that wristband Russell? I
think we're we're all intrigued on that one.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
But I don't know what happened, Like, how does it
you go from being this, you know, Hall of Fame quarterback,
unbelievable career and then all of a sudden you fall
off you know the cliff here? What happened?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Yeah? I mean I think sometimes you don't know how
good you have it until until it's gone. And that
was a historic defense in Seattle. That was a great
situation that he was put in look, and he played
really well. And you know it, just as soon as
(24:59):
this whole let Russ Cook thing happen, and he wanted
to go to another place because he wants to have
more control and show that he can do it somewhere else.
The grass is not always greener, and I think this
is a situation that definitely points to that.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I'm talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick. You can see him tomorrow night.
It'll be Amazon Prime Video, Andrew Whitworth, Tony Gonzalez. Let's
see who else, Yitch Oh, we good friend Christ Thompson
is going to be there. Richard Sherman's going to be
their pre halftime and postgame show coverage at seven Eastern
the games at eight point fifteen. I know you played
(25:34):
in the Ivy League. Buddy Tevens, the great Dartmouth head coach,
just passed away. It was quite the innovator. I don't
know if you know what your recollection was of a
buddy at Dartmouth.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Yeah, we lost a great man. I mean he did
great things for Dartmouth, for the Ivy League and really
for the game of football in general. And he was
best friends with my coach, Tim Murphy, and so I
got to know him over the years. He ran the
Peyton and Eli Manning Passing Academy, so he meant a
(26:08):
lot to the game of football and even just health
and safety of the player. Some innovative things that he
did at Dartmouth. So I appreciate you for bringing that up.
And we certainly lost a great man.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, we had him on a couple of times. He
was a great interview and really an innovator ahead of
his time with college football at Dartmouth. I was wondering
about this strategy. Brian Dabele is saying Saquon Barkley could
be available tomorrow night, and I was wondering about that.
I don't know if it's gamesmanship, but it also puts
a little more pressure on Saquon Barkley that, you know
(26:41):
he's supposed to be out three weeks now, your coach
is saying, hey, you might be available tomorrow night. So
then what maybe it's you? Why aren't you playing? Because
your coach is saying this is Brian just saying, do
you expect Saquon Barkley to play tomorrow night? Well?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
As as an employee and analyst for Amazon, I fully.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Expect make sure you tune in of course, but you.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Know, watching watching the end of that game, and the
way you know his expression is frustration, his face, the
way that the ankle got tweaked. There's no chance he's
playing in this game. It's it's gamesmanship, it's stable just
making sure that they have to still prepare a little
bit for Saquon if he plays. But I don't think
(27:27):
anybody believes that, and so that doesn't put a whole
lot of pressure on because I think it's just the
coach talking. Now. Once you apply a timetable to him
and you say, okay, this is a mild ankle sprain
three weeks. That as a player is tough because there's
now undue pressure on you to hurry up and get
back on the field. And as players, we're trying to
(27:49):
do the best we can to be out there and
be available.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Did you ever face somebody who was in that category
with Michael Parsons, he is unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I think there were some years, you know, JJ Watt,
there were some years where he was unblockable, Aaron Donald unblockable.
But Micah Parsons is quickly becoming the guy the face
of the NFL. It's really scary. And I think dan
Quinn is so innovative in the way that he's gonna
(28:26):
be able to put him in different spots in Russia
because look a lot of an offense and what you do.
What can you do versus a great pass rusher, Well,
you could chip, But all of a sudden, we saw
last week they put Micah Parsons on the outside. They
run a game where he steps up and then runs
around and to the inside, so they know how teams
are going to try to block Micah. They're going to
move him around. It's hard to double them on every play.
(28:48):
But he's as good as it gets, and he is
a scary, scary player right now.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I didn't understand the Jets philosophy here the game plan.
You have Zach Wilson on the road against Dowllan, and
you run the ball eleven times. You have two good
running backs. Why not just you know, Bill Parcells used
to say, the best way to go at a great
defender is to go at the defender. Don't let him
(29:13):
try to catch up with the play. Because lt Micah Parsons,
they have an athleticism to do it. Why not just
run the football and take away a little bit of
the pressure of Zach Wilson.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah, sometimes you know it's a head scratcher, but you know,
I'm sure that was the intent going into the game.
That's what they wanted to do. As the score gets
away from you a little bit, you know, as you're
trying to play this game of catch up and figure out,
as you're getting behind the chains, Okay, what are we
doing here? What are we doing here? It just gets
(29:48):
difficult as a play caller. Did they want Breeze Hall
to touch the ball four times?
Speaker 10 (29:52):
Now?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I mean, I think we saw the week before what
they want Breese Hall to be. They want a healthy
dose of Breeze, a healthy dose of and Cook takes
some pressure off of young Zach Wilson. But it's difficult
sometimes when you get int those games, because you go
in with one plan and then all of a sudden
you look back after the game and think, gosh, you know,
we really screwed up here. But a lot of that is,
(30:15):
you know, a play caller trying to look at that
scoreboard and make up points when you can't really put
it all on Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
When you heard that the Niners were going to reach
out to Philip Rivers if they had made the Super
Bowl with the injuries to their quarterbacks? Now, did you
think that maybe you could volunteer? Did they call you
to see if you wanted if you could have been
able to play last year if they had gone to
the Super Bowl, did they contact you or did you
(30:46):
think about reaching out to them?
Speaker 4 (30:48):
No, they did not contact me, and I did not
think about reaching out. But you know, the Philip Rivers
thing is interesting. With a quarterback, you know, with the receiver,
with the running back, you can't really just come off
the street after missing fifteen sixteen weeks of NFL season
(31:09):
then into the playoffs and play as a quarterback. That
might be the one position kicker? Do we count them?
I don't know that you could actually do it. I
don't know what kind of shape Philip was in, but
he's so sharp up here that that probably would have
been the best option.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
What if the Jets called you to be a backup
for Zach Wilson?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
No chance physically, you know, I had a hip injury
at the end of my career. I don't know where
I'd be with that. But I love what I'm doing
right now with Amazon. I love my family life. You know,
I gave seventeen years of my life fully committed to
the game of football, and with that became a lot
(31:53):
of sacrifices away from my family. And so I'm perfectly
content at what I'm doing right now and absolutely loving
being involved with Amazon and getting to do the Thursday
night gig. So I'm I'm happy where I am.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
So no chance, what's the coolest thing in your office there?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Well, i'd say the chest hair, but one of the
kids must have grabbed it. Maybe they're wearing it to school.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You know, I've got you.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
I've got a lot of cool stuff. Let me grab
one real fast hold on.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Okay, talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick, this was my Thursday night game.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
This was my childhood helmet that I used to wear
throwing the ball in the front yard, and it just
so happened that in two thousand and five with the
two hundred and fiftieth pick, this was also the first
NFL team I ever played for, So that one is
pretty neat for me.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
It looks like something on there that the Brady bunch
may have worn, the Rams helmet that they wore.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah it actually it doesn't fit anymore either. I don't
want to mess up my hair.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yea, yeah, your hair looks good. Hair looks good.
Speaker 11 (33:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
It's my TV here.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, oh no, no, no, you did great job there.
We'll be watching tomorrow night. Always great to talk to you.
Thank you for your opinions, and have a great day.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
All right, thank you. We'll see it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's Ryan Fitzpatrick. You can see him tomorrow night. Seven
Eastern is when they start Thursday Night Football Tonight kick
off at Prime Video at eight fifteen Eastern.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Just in case you want an update real quick on
the poll question, Yes, if you were an Amazon TV executive,
would you allow Ryan Fitzpatrick to shave his beard right now?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Hashtag Branding is in the lead with fifty two percent
of the vote. Of course, it's his face, just forty
eight percent. It's a close one.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I like how you said, I don't think it's in
the contract.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yeah, but it was made mention. Then my beard is
very up. Can you imagine you sit down with this
executive he spent seventeen years in the NFL, and they're like, okay,
you know that's great. You got a lot of knowledge.
Keep the beard.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, Pauline, I saw a thing once about the movie
Old School, and you know the actor Vince Bond, he
was supposed to cut his hair. He cut his hair,
and all of a sudden, the director goes, we have
reshoots on Monday, and he cut his hair short, Like
what did I do? So they had some reshoots and
they're like and they put a hat on. So theres
a couple scenes where Vince Bond, I guess you're supposed
to get approval on movie sets.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You can see the beard, you can see the hair.

Heyo Tani surgery and I don't know if it's a
procedure or a surgery, because it feels like this is
something different, just like Aaron Rodgers something different. I think
(37:35):
these procedures or surgeries have been around for a little while,
but they're brought to the forefront because of Aaron Rodgers
and Show Heo Tani. And I don't know what kind
of leverage Show Heyo Tani has. He's going to be
able to be a hitter next year and then probably
try to resume pitching in a year from now. But
as it stands now show Hayo Tani, it's always successful surgery.
(37:59):
I've never heard when an athlete go, Nope, not successful.
I've had one surgery that wasn't successful, but I didn't
have to tell the media when they say, how was
this surgery, I go, not successful? But everybody has successful surgery.
It's amazing, all right. Eight seven seven three DP show

(38:20):
Nick Schubb will need surgery. Still don't have the full
details on the extent of the injury, but that looked devastating.
Saquon Barkley could be back as early as tomorrow night.
Here is the head coach of the Giants, Brian Dable.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
I'm not saying that he's out yet. He's he's a
quick healer. I'm not saying he's in.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
He's out.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
We're going to take it all the way up with
him to Thursday. But he feels a lot better today.
I just I just talked to him. So we'll see,
We'll see where we're at.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Okay. I hope you give Saquon Barkley a heads up, Coach,
just so the media if they see him, they don't go, hey, hey,
you're going to be back tomorrow night and Saquon Barkley goes, huh, yeah,
coach said you might be back now. This feels like
gamesmanship that, you know, we're not going to give the
Niners an edge here by preparing for Saquon Barkley or
(39:15):
not preparing for Saquon Barkley. But I did snicker a
little bit about that. You know, we know that the
Mothership set a record with Colorado, Colorado State as far
as viewing, and it was close to nine million people
and late night too, I mean it was prime but
then it went into you know, one and two in
the morning. Well, we were watching, but so were some
(39:38):
other people like the forty nine ers. Fred Warner, the
Niners linebacker, talked about watching Dionne in Colorado.
Speaker 10 (39:47):
We are in the hotel the night before the game,
all right, we were sitting in the meal room. They
got called football on the night before games, right on
the big screen while we're eating our meal. And when
I tell you that, every buddies in that meal room
dialed in, everybody dialed in watching Colorado versus Colorado.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
State exactly like.
Speaker 12 (40:08):
And they're literally likely jumping at every single little play
to start that game. Like it was as if we're
watching the super Bowl exactly like that in itself right there, that's.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
All you need to know about.
Speaker 10 (40:20):
What about what dion has done to that program.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
So that's Fred Warner. They're watching it like it's a
super Bowl, a super Bowl watch party, and it's Colorado
and Colorado State. What made the story even bigger and
better is Colorado was trailing at halftime, and then you
had the back and forth, you had the injury, you had,
I mean, you had so much back and forth here,
and you had you know, sometimes you have a game
(40:47):
and other times you have a story. Colorado is a story.
Now they're playing a game, but you're watching a story unfold.
You're not quite sure how it ends, but you're just
flipping through the chapter. And so far we've had three
chapters and it's been pretty interesting. And now they go
to Oregon. And as a former gambler, I sometimes would
(41:11):
bet with my heart, like I'm betting for what I
think is going to be the story. There's a lot
of betters who are taking Colorado outright against Oregon, and
I think Oregon is a twenty four point favorite last
I looked. But they're taking Colorado to win this game outright,
just because they're betting with their heart, not with their heads. Yes, yes, Paul,
(41:34):
I check.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Some numbers with Darren Level at the Action Network. He
said the same thing happened last week. The emotional public
was all betting on Colorado. The betters were betting on
Colorado State to cover because the line went from like
twenty one to twenty seven in three or four days
a lot. Everyone's betting with emotion on this.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
One, and they'll be doing that again. You know, you're
watching the game and you want Colorado to win. You
want Dion to win, at least you do. Now you
don't want to beat against that. You want to be
all in on the party here all in on the story,
and that usually doesn't work out well for a better Yes, Mark.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Is Colorado starting to sell starter jackets, because if this
was nineteen ninety five, I'd be asking for a starter
jacket right now.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
Remember Georgetown had.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
The starter jackets.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Whoever the cool team was in that certain era, everyone
had the starter jacket. I feel like everyone needs a
Colorado starter jacket.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Here is Dion talking about the Colorado State player and
the hit that he had on Travis Hunter.
Speaker 13 (42:32):
Every Blackburn is a good player who played a phenomenal game.
He made a tremendous hit on Trappers on the sideline.
You could call it dirty, you could call it He
was just playing the game of football. But whatever it was,
it does not constitute that he should be receiving death threats.
He does not deserve a death threat over a game.
(42:54):
At the end of the day, this is a game.
Someone must win, someone must lose. Everybody continue and use
their life.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
The next day when I saw that he was getting
death threats. Now, Dion did say in that same press conference,
he gets death threats, which he kind of said, Hey,
I can handle that. But this is a college kid,
and there are people who actually take time out of
their day to issue a death threat to him on
(43:23):
social media, and Dion coming out to say, this is
a game, what are you doing? Was it a cheap
hit or was he just playing football? Travis Hunter is
not going to be able to play for a couple
of weeks. Dion's son, the quarterback Shador, said that he
wanted to go after Blackburn, but Dion saying, it's a game.
(43:48):
We know it's more than that, and it's a heated rivalry.
But imagine somebody going, I'm so mad, I'm going to
issue a death threat against this kid. I mean, put
your address out there, put your phone number out there,
going to put this out there on social media. So
twenty one year old kid, yeah, coming up, show Hey,

year eligible players are among the one hundred and seventy
three nominees for the twenty twenty four class of the
(01:08):
Pro Football Hall of Fame, the nine Julius Peppers, Antonio Gates,
Brandon Marshall, Jordi Nelson, Jamal Charles, t J Lang, Josh Sitton,
Max Unger, and Helod Nanda. They combined for twelve first
team All Pro selections, forty two Pro Bowls. And it's
(01:30):
we go through this process every single year, and are
we going to get to the point that Deon Sanders
has talked about we have too many in the Hall
of Fame And is there way to differentiate distinguish between
those who get in first ballot and those who just
get into the Hall of Fame. I have no problem
treating those players who were special and having a special floor.
(01:52):
You want to have a penthouse at the Pro Football
Hall of Fame in Kenton, Ohio. I think that would
be pretty cool. But all you're saying is if you
get in on the first ballot, we're going to put
you in a special place. Nothing wrong with that. You know,
everybody's a Hall of Famer, but not everybody's on the
same level of the Hall of Fame. And if you
want to do that in other sports, first ballot Hall
(02:14):
of Famer, I have no problem with that. I like
celebrating more people going into the Hall of Fame. Dion
says it's too watered down, And I understand that from
his perspective because he wants to be in the penthouse
with the other first ballot Hall of famers. But these
are the latest nominees. So there's one hundred and seventy
(02:35):
three nominees on the ballot for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame. But if I go through who's a Hall
of Famer, and really this should be the litmus test,
it's not. But if I say Julius Pepper's Hall of
Fame right away, yes, no, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, long career, a lot of ten SAX.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Seasons, Okay, got suspended for I think it was like
a fedro. Uh yeah, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Throw what curveball here? While Julius Peppers is a Hall
of Famer, I think I'd rather have Halod Nada on
my team. I don't think Halodi Nada's run was near
as long as far as dominance. I thought Helod Nada
was a wrecker.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Okay. Is anybody a first ballot Hall of Famer? Oh
that's different too. If I say Antonio Gates, who was
also suspended. He's a Hall of Famer right, his numbers
as a tight end, now he gets lost in the
shuffle here with you Tony Gonzalez, you got Gronk, you
certainly have Travis Kelcey. Then you have the other tight ends.
(03:39):
And Antonio Gates had incredible numbers. Never got to play
in that big game, but he always had incredible numbers.
Former basketball player, Yes, Mar, what.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Do you say about those guys like maybe Shannis Sharper,
Chris Carter that weren't first ballad But in your head
you're like, they weren't first ballid. That's surprising, almost like
a t O.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Also, well, I don't know if the vote liked Chris Carter.
I think his personality rubbed people the wrong way. It's
not supposed to factor in, certainly with the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. They're not supposed to factor in you
off the field, at least that's what I've been told.
But is Chris Carter first ballot Hall of Famer? Sure?
Is Shannon Sharp first ballel Hall of Famer? Absolutely? But
(04:20):
I don't think anybody here is a first ballot Hall
of Famer. Julius Peppers, Antonio Gates, Brandon Marshall. Yeah, you
know Hall of Famers, but I don't, at least the
first two Antonio Gates and Julius Peppers hall of Famers.
I'm glad I don't have to vote on this. I
struggle enough with the Heisman Trophy, like I really care
(04:43):
about it because I understand the significance of it. I
knew what it meant when I was growing up. I
don't know if it means as much to these players,
maybe as much as it's just a marketing thing for them,
chance to cash in, maybe do a Nissan Heisman commercial
with Baker Mayfield. But when it comes to Hall of
(05:03):
Fame and you know, being able to get in, when
you get in, you know, is it a veterans committee?
But voting on this is really tough. And what happens
is you get guys who come in and basically will
stump for somebody, they'll campaign for somebody. They go in
trying to sell you on why this person deserves to
go in. I don't know if you have people who
(05:26):
go in and say why somebody shouldn't be in, but
you do have people representing these athletes.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Tom Brady famously wrote a letter for Jason Taylor. The
Dolphins talk about how great. I mean, if you got
Brady endorsing you, how can a voter go, well, I
don't know. It's that guy was chasing that guy, and
he wrote a letter about how great Jason Taylor was. Yeah, points, Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
There's a guy like Brandon Marshall who was a great
wide receiver but may have trouble getting the Hall of
Fame because his career went for a few places Denver, Miami,
Chicago Jets. But let's compare Marshall the wide receiver to
Calvin Johnson. Calvin Johnson had one season with one hundred
or more receptions. Brandon Marshall had six seasons with one
hundred more receptions. Calvin Johnson had one season with over
(06:12):
ten touchdown catches. I'm sorry he had fox, Sorry he
had four. Brandon Marshall also had four seasons over ten.
But Brandon Marshall didn't do it for one team. It's
weird like Brandon Marshall might have a tougher time getting
the Hall of Fame than Calvin Johnson.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh yeah, Calvin Johnson first MALLA Hall of Famer Marshall.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I never felt that Calvin Johnson was.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
First MALLA Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
No, I thought his he had four great years and
then he quit.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I think he was always the man. Imagine if he
played for somebody other than the Lion for sure, right,
and then who were your quarterbacks? If you factor that in,
who did Brandon Marshall have throwing to him? And then
who did Calvin Johnson have throwing to him? I guess
you got to factor that in as well. But you know,
first the Hall of Famer, I don't have a problem
(07:01):
if you want to, and I don't want to differentiate
like third floor, second floor, first floor, and then somebody's
in the basement of the Hall of Fame. I just
wanted one floor, first ballot, Hall of Fame. That'll be
the top floor.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Okay, like the Gold level, that's it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The Gold Club, Yes, oh, Gold Gold Club. Okay, let's
go yeah, yeah, yeah, I go there for the buffet, yeh.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Seon how much of the the Calvin Johnson or Brandon
Marshall thing is based on where you're drafted. One one
went second overall, the other one was a fourth round
draft pick. Immediately coming into the league, you're seeing at
different levels. So Calvin Johnson going into the league was
already like a super stud wide receiver because of just
(07:48):
based on what he did in college and where he
was drafted.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Right, But sometimes you won't get the recognition because you're
supposed to be great, as opposed to, Oh my god,
have you seen this Cooper Cup guy? He got so
much attention because nobody knew who he was, as opposed
to this guy coming into the league. He's supposed to
be great, and I think sometimes that can work against you,
just like you know, Pauli's saying, Calvin Johnson only had
(08:14):
four seasons that were great.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, in my opinion, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
But he should have had more. He's Calvin Johnson. You
were a high draft pick, whereas Brandon Marshall had maybe
better numbers, more consistent numbers for a longer period of time,
and he was more of a surprise.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
You kind of feel like with Calvin Johnson though in
his career, it wasn't his fault that the Lions weren't
winning exactly, you know what I mean. It wasn't his fault. Yes,
it was everybody else's fault. Somebody else should have done
something more because he did what he was supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But is he the receiving version of Matthew Stafford. Oh yeah,
where I mean, Matthew Stafford's going to be a Hall
of Fame room because he won the Super Bowl. Right, No,
but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
No, not Marvin saying he shouldn't. You're saying he is.
You're both right.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I'm saying he's going to get in. I'm saying because
if he just had his career with Detroit, he to me,
he's not a Hall of Famer. I mean, he's just
a you know, East Coast version of Philip Rivers.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yes, Mark, Matthew Stafford has I think one Pro Bowl,
not even like at all pro not even a season.
He doesn't have like a Matt Ryan type of season
where it's he was the MVP. Well, and he's got
a Super Bowl, He's got Brad Johnson.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Is he is accumulated, he's a compiler, and then he
won a Super Bowl. Okay, put Trent Dofring he got
a Pro Bowl too. Yeah, but his numbers aren't close
to Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Yeah, Calvin Johnson, Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You can make the case that Detroit Lions had the
most physically talented running back, wide receiver and quarterback in
the last fifty years physically talented. No one questioned Matt
Stafford's ability to throw the ball. I mean big arm bit,
one of the biggest arms Calvin Johnson.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Not literally.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, no, I don't think it's that big thing. But
I think Barry Sanders of Calvin Johnson are like first
ballot ability.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yes, I would agree with that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Sorry lines fan.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yes, this is a very local reference, but I'm sure
a certain portion of our audience will really appreciate it.
This person, Matt wrote, the Hall of Fame is like
living in Laguna Beach. Some people live on the ocean.
Some people can see the ocean. Some people live in
a seventies house obstructed by someone else with more money,
But you all.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Live in Laguna. I get it. Thank you, Matt, I
get it. Matt, well done. That is the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
You're on the beach, on the beach, or somebody is
looking at your house on the beach.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yes, Dion is on the beach.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
But they can still walk to the beach when they
need to.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yes, somebody's got an obstructed view and they're in the
Hall of Fame. Yes, Ton. Isn't it possibly giving.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
The voters too much power if we make separate wings
or have the special wing that these this group decides
who should be in the Pentagon.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Wouldn't you be interested if I said, I mean, how
many times do you go? Wow? I can't wait to
see what the results are of the Hall of Fame
where you go. For the most part, we know who's
going to go into the Hall of Fame. I mean
sometimes we're surprised. But to be a first ballot Hall
of Famer, now, all of a sudden, you get a
celebration on top of a celebration, and then you get
(11:18):
the first ballot Hall of Famers who then welcome him
into the club.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
But is it the best interest of the Hall of
Fame and the NFL to have we want to create
this debate forever in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It's like, how is this one not in the penthouse
or this one?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
There, but shouldn't be?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Is that a good thing?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yes? They want conversation, they want to bathe absolutely. If
you went to the Hall of Fame and I said
there is a gold club, are you going up to
see that? Are you going to make sure that you
go up and see that?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
If I'm already at the Hall of Fame, it's a curiosity.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
But I think ultimately for me, I think you're either
make the Hall of Fame or you don't.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
I'm uncomfortable with wings or national section.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
First bull Hall of Fame. That's it.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
You can put that on the plaque somewhere that you
were a first bout. I don't know about like those
busts go to the top floor.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I definitely want it.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah, yeah, I agree that the only there shouldn't be wings,
there shouldn't be anything. The only designation is you were
either first ballot or you got in. That's just it,
That's all you need. Yes, because first ballot is something special.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I love it, Yes, mart.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Can you imagine too looking at Steve Largent, like, wait,
he gets to go into the champagne rooms, he gets
to go into the club. I'm down here. I could
see the velvet rope. I was better than him, or
maybe as good. Can you imagine that type of you know, Patty.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You didn't get in.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
The voter's fault.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Don't blame Steve Largent, don't don't blame him.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I like the idea when like Hall of famers are like,
it's getting a little crowded.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
In here, if you know, what I mean going upstairs
and they're the only ones who can go up there,
the other Hall of Famers. So you have somebody there
velvet ropes, somebody tries to get in. You're like, uh
uh I think uh I think second you were second
(13:09):
year that you go so sorry, Hey, I'm a Hall
of Famer too.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
I know you.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, sure, I know you're. Yeah, but not on this floor.
Not You're a Hall of Famer down downstairs. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yes, you make James Harrison the bouncer, he's just stand
their weight. You know what you get in when you
go to those real nice hotels and you got to
go in the elevator and swipe your car down your
room and you press four and then you swipe your
card and you hit pH and it won't let you
go to pH. You get those kind of cards.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yes, but within this.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Gold Club we're talking about, is there a main stage
and then our periphery? How far do we break it
down or is it just that one penthouse level?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Well there even is it?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Then it's just keep it simple. It's one floor of it,
all right. I know you don't like it, but it's
a top floor. It's the Gold Club. It's first balance.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
You also had mentioned something abou different colored jackets.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
I don't know if you were being facetious, So you'd
like to see different shades of gold.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Dan talked about that.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Yeah, that's so, that's a little far.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
But once again, you stand out in the crowd and
then people go, oh, wow, who's that. He was a
first ballot Hall of Famer back in the sixties. Oh,
it is this conversation you want to create. You know this,
this is what you want. We just filled up ten minutes.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Just wearing the red jacket. He's kind of made the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
But that's that's not true. There's no red jacket.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Ton if they went in that direction, everything, no what.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And I just said what did I just say? Really simple?
First ballot, we're going to put you up on the
top floor. You can have a gold jacket, you know,
a more gold jacket.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
This little group of voters gets to decide the immortality
of the pentasse.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
They're deciding the immortality of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Yeah, but it's just. But if it's just you're either
a Hall of Famer or not, it's one thing. But
now you're deciding who gets their bust on the top floor.
This group, some of them may not like a certain player,
or they're old and they haven't been followed some of
the years.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's what happens getting into the Hall of Fame. They're
doing it either way. Yes, they're deciding who gets a
bust and who doesn't.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yeah, and it really stands out more when you're now
designating a these are the real real Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Me just me, Oh, I know that today. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Even in the morning meeting. He had some takes today
that we were like, okay, what's going.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
On to be controversary. I just that's my opinion. Is
really the penthouse and like you're on the one of
the lower.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
D Aaron Rodgers can't have surgery like normal people does.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
He has as a super special surgery. You do like that?
You did say that.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Yeah, he goes up on top of the mountain and
they put little pins and needles in him and no
one else knows about this special way to be able
to come back in six months from it.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh, what do you think he's so great?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
All of a sudden, he's the one that knows the
super secret, so greedy one doesn't everybody do it?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He went to an actual doctor, not some guy at
a mountain. He was an actual end immunized.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
All of a sudden, He's back week twelve because he
had this special procedure done that no one ever heard of.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Whatever might be back for the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Right, Okay, but isn't that a good story? Isn't that
a good thing? I guess, I guess, Rogers.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
It seems like Aaron Rodge has something figured out that
the rest of the world of athletes don't good.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I mean, if he did find something great and he
can come back, great show Heyo Tani having surgery. By
the way, it was the Dodgers surgeon who did the
surgery on show. Heytani, relationship already gonna be with the Dodgers.
It'd be like, hey, come on in, here's your team doctor.
He's going to be doing your surgery. Okay, we're just

Speaker 5 (17:12):
The front half of October rounds.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
I think we're gonna go with two for the first hour, now, okay,
first one is should the Pro Football Hall of Fame
have a wing just for first balloders?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Okay, all right, all right?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
And then I think we're also going to go with
if you were an Amazon TV executive, would you allow
Ryan Fitzpatrick to shave his beard? Allow him to of
course it's his face, or absolutely not hashtag branding.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Okay, uh yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I'll jump in on this. If I'm Ryan Fitzpatrick's boss,
I would like at least a heads up if there's
any big shaving or changes in the beard hair, because
that's part of the money.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Maye.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
He's a very good analyst. The beard is also very
part of big part of it.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But what if his wife says, all right, let's go,
we're done with this.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I'm paying the bills. I'm Joe Amazon.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Oh no, no, no, he might be paying the bills,
but somebody's running the house.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Is there still fits magic though without Is it a
little bit like Samson and you cut the hair, you
cut the beard.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Yeah, it's a little less bits magical, I think.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
All right, let's ask him Ryan Fitzpatrick, who joined just
We have the Niners and the Giants coming up Thursday night,
Thursday Night Football and Ryan, of course one of the
analysts there on the program. Prime Video starts at eight
point fifteen Eastern Thursday Night Football tonight. All right, is
it in your contract that you must keep your beard?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I don't think it's written in the contract, although it
was mentioned to me that it was a very important
thing that I kept my beard, So I am not
shaving it. I also just funny Anecdote was doing a
commercial and they were nervous I shaved my chest hair,
so they had yak hair. I shaved my chest hair
(20:53):
because that was going to be a big part of
the commercial.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
They put yak hair on your chest for the commercial.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, let me see, I got it in here somewhere.
It's in my trophy case, but just in case, they
had it on set because they were nervous that I
was shaving my chest.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, well, is it part of your identity though? Do
you feel like that if you did shave, does that
take away something from you?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah? I mean I could go I could be completely
anonymous if I shave my beard. I don't think people
would recognize me. But you know, my kids are kind
of the driving force behind it now. My daughters have
no interest. They've seen me shave my beard once or
twice and have no interest ever seeing that man again.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Wow. All right, that's all we needed to know. Ryan.
You know, I have a great game tomorrow night. We
were just talking about the Hall of Fame. Dan has
brought this up before. Could you have a top floor
that will distinguish differentiate the first ballad Hall of Famers?
So you make it it's special for the Hall of Fame.
Now you get something that's even more special for guys
(22:01):
who are first ballot Hall of Famers. What do you
think of that idea.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I think it's a great idea. You know, it's gonna
be interesting coming up here, just the way that the
stats have blown up in the last fifteen years, especially
with quarterback play. When Richard Sherman and I love to
have these debates all the time of you know, is
he a first ballot guy? Is he going to get
(22:25):
in the Hall of Fame. But if you strictly look
at numbers of some of these guys, you're looking at
Matt Ryan's numbers. You're looking at Matthew Stafford's numbers. Now,
Russell Wilson the first one to ever do what he
did with the passing yards and the rushing yards, and
he's got a Super Bowl under his belt. It's like,
how many of these guys that were looking at that,
we're saying, well, gosh, I guess I could see him
(22:47):
getting in the Hall of Fame. I think making a
tear or distinction is a good idea.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Matthew Stafford Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
He's one of my favorite quarterback I've ever watched, But
I just think there were too many empty years in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Okay, Matt Ryan.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I think if he wins that Super Bowl, it becomes
very easy. But I mean, Matt Ryan statistically, I don't
have it in front of me, but I think he's
probably top five in yards yeah, in his career or
somewhere up there. So he had some pretty good years
in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I would say, yes, he's got sixty three thousand yards.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yeah, that's I mean, I'm telling you some of these
discussions are going to happen with these quarterbacks coming up,
It's going to be very difficult. It's going to be
difficult to get in, but it's going to be difficult
to say no to a lot of these guys with
their numbers.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Can Russell Wilson play himself out of the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Is he playing himself out of the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yes? I think he is. That's going to be an
interesting one this week too at Miami or I don't
know if they're they're playing Miami, But who's whose fault
is that going to be as that continues to go south?
Is that Sean Payton or is that wristband Russell? I
think we're we're all intrigued on that one.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
But I don't know what happened, Like, how does it
you go from being this, you know, Hall of Fame quarterback,
unbelievable career and then all of a sudden you fall
off you know the cliff here? What happened?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Yeah? I mean I think sometimes you don't know how
good you have it until until it's gone. And that
was a historic defense in Seattle. That was a great
situation that he was put in look, and he played
really well. And you know it, just as soon as
(24:59):
this whole let Russ Cook thing happen, and he wanted
to go to another place because he wants to have
more control and show that he can do it somewhere else.
The grass is not always greener, and I think this
is a situation that definitely points to that.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I'm talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick. You can see him tomorrow night.
It'll be Amazon Prime Video, Andrew Whitworth, Tony Gonzalez. Let's
see who else, Yitch Oh, we good friend Christ Thompson
is going to be there. Richard Sherman's going to be
their pre halftime and postgame show coverage at seven Eastern
the games at eight point fifteen. I know you played
(25:34):
in the Ivy League. Buddy Tevens, the great Dartmouth head coach,
just passed away. It was quite the innovator. I don't
know if you know what your recollection was of a
buddy at Dartmouth.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Yeah, we lost a great man. I mean he did
great things for Dartmouth, for the Ivy League and really
for the game of football in general. And he was
best friends with my coach, Tim Murphy, and so I
got to know him over the years. He ran the
Peyton and Eli Manning Passing Academy, so he meant a
(26:08):
lot to the game of football and even just health
and safety of the player. Some innovative things that he
did at Dartmouth. So I appreciate you for bringing that up.
And we certainly lost a great man.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, we had him on a couple of times. He
was a great interview and really an innovator ahead of
his time with college football at Dartmouth. I was wondering
about this strategy. Brian Dabele is saying Saquon Barkley could
be available tomorrow night, and I was wondering about that.
I don't know if it's gamesmanship, but it also puts
a little more pressure on Saquon Barkley that, you know
(26:41):
he's supposed to be out three weeks now, your coach
is saying, hey, you might be available tomorrow night. So
then what maybe it's you? Why aren't you playing? Because
your coach is saying this is Brian just saying, do
you expect Saquon Barkley to play tomorrow night? Well?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
As as an employee and analyst for Amazon, I fully.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Expect make sure you tune in of course, but you.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Know, watching watching the end of that game, and the
way you know his expression is frustration, his face, the
way that the ankle got tweaked. There's no chance he's
playing in this game. It's it's gamesmanship, it's stable just
making sure that they have to still prepare a little
bit for Saquon if he plays. But I don't think
(27:27):
anybody believes that, and so that doesn't put a whole
lot of pressure on because I think it's just the
coach talking. Now. Once you apply a timetable to him
and you say, okay, this is a mild ankle sprain
three weeks. That as a player is tough because there's
now undue pressure on you to hurry up and get
back on the field. And as players, we're trying to
(27:49):
do the best we can to be out there and
be available.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Did you ever face somebody who was in that category
with Michael Parsons, he is unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I think there were some years, you know, JJ Watt,
there were some years where he was unblockable, Aaron Donald unblockable.
But Micah Parsons is quickly becoming the guy the face
of the NFL. It's really scary. And I think dan
Quinn is so innovative in the way that he's gonna
(28:26):
be able to put him in different spots in Russia
because look a lot of an offense and what you do.
What can you do versus a great pass rusher, Well,
you could chip, But all of a sudden, we saw
last week they put Micah Parsons on the outside. They
run a game where he steps up and then runs
around and to the inside, so they know how teams
are going to try to block Micah. They're going to
move him around. It's hard to double them on every play.
(28:48):
But he's as good as it gets, and he is
a scary, scary player right now.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I didn't understand the Jets philosophy here the game plan.
You have Zach Wilson on the road against Dowllan, and
you run the ball eleven times. You have two good
running backs. Why not just you know, Bill Parcells used
to say, the best way to go at a great
defender is to go at the defender. Don't let him
(29:13):
try to catch up with the play. Because lt Micah Parsons,
they have an athleticism to do it. Why not just
run the football and take away a little bit of
the pressure of Zach Wilson.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah, sometimes you know it's a head scratcher, but you know,
I'm sure that was the intent going into the game.
That's what they wanted to do. As the score gets
away from you a little bit, you know, as you're
trying to play this game of catch up and figure out,
as you're getting behind the chains, Okay, what are we
doing here? What are we doing here? It just gets
(29:48):
difficult as a play caller. Did they want Breeze Hall
to touch the ball four times?
Speaker 10 (29:52):
Now?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I mean, I think we saw the week before what
they want Breese Hall to be. They want a healthy
dose of Breeze, a healthy dose of and Cook takes
some pressure off of young Zach Wilson. But it's difficult
sometimes when you get int those games, because you go
in with one plan and then all of a sudden
you look back after the game and think, gosh, you know,
we really screwed up here. But a lot of that is,
(30:15):
you know, a play caller trying to look at that
scoreboard and make up points when you can't really put
it all on Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
When you heard that the Niners were going to reach
out to Philip Rivers if they had made the Super
Bowl with the injuries to their quarterbacks? Now, did you
think that maybe you could volunteer? Did they call you
to see if you wanted if you could have been
able to play last year if they had gone to
the Super Bowl, did they contact you or did you
(30:46):
think about reaching out to them?
Speaker 4 (30:48):
No, they did not contact me, and I did not
think about reaching out. But you know, the Philip Rivers
thing is interesting. With a quarterback, you know, with the receiver,
with the running back, you can't really just come off
the street after missing fifteen sixteen weeks of NFL season
(31:09):
then into the playoffs and play as a quarterback. That
might be the one position kicker? Do we count them?
I don't know that you could actually do it. I
don't know what kind of shape Philip was in, but
he's so sharp up here that that probably would have
been the best option.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
What if the Jets called you to be a backup
for Zach Wilson?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
No chance physically, you know, I had a hip injury
at the end of my career. I don't know where
I'd be with that. But I love what I'm doing
right now with Amazon. I love my family life. You know,
I gave seventeen years of my life fully committed to
the game of football, and with that became a lot
(31:53):
of sacrifices away from my family. And so I'm perfectly
content at what I'm doing right now and absolutely loving
being involved with Amazon and getting to do the Thursday
night gig. So I'm I'm happy where I am.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
So no chance, what's the coolest thing in your office there?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Well, i'd say the chest hair, but one of the
kids must have grabbed it. Maybe they're wearing it to school.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You know, I've got you.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
I've got a lot of cool stuff. Let me grab
one real fast hold on.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Okay, talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick, this was my Thursday night game.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
This was my childhood helmet that I used to wear
throwing the ball in the front yard, and it just
so happened that in two thousand and five with the
two hundred and fiftieth pick, this was also the first
NFL team I ever played for, So that one is
pretty neat for me.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
It looks like something on there that the Brady bunch
may have worn, the Rams helmet that they wore.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah it actually it doesn't fit anymore either. I don't
want to mess up my hair.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yea, yeah, your hair looks good. Hair looks good.
Speaker 11 (33:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
It's my TV here.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, oh no, no, no, you did great job there.
We'll be watching tomorrow night. Always great to talk to you.
Thank you for your opinions, and have a great day.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
All right, thank you. We'll see it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's Ryan Fitzpatrick. You can see him tomorrow night. Seven
Eastern is when they start Thursday Night Football Tonight kick
off at Prime Video at eight fifteen Eastern.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Just in case you want an update real quick on
the poll question, Yes, if you were an Amazon TV executive,
would you allow Ryan Fitzpatrick to shave his beard right now?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Hashtag Branding is in the lead with fifty two percent
of the vote. Of course, it's his face, just forty
eight percent. It's a close one.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I like how you said, I don't think it's in
the contract.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yeah, but it was made mention. Then my beard is
very up. Can you imagine you sit down with this
executive he spent seventeen years in the NFL, and they're like, okay,
you know that's great. You got a lot of knowledge.
Keep the beard.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, Pauline, I saw a thing once about the movie
Old School, and you know the actor Vince Bond, he
was supposed to cut his hair. He cut his hair,
and all of a sudden, the director goes, we have
reshoots on Monday, and he cut his hair short, Like
what did I do? So they had some reshoots and
they're like and they put a hat on. So theres
a couple scenes where Vince Bond, I guess you're supposed
to get approval on movie sets.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You can see the beard, you can see the hair.

Heyo Tani surgery and I don't know if it's a
procedure or a surgery, because it feels like this is
something different, just like Aaron Rodgers something different. I think
(37:35):
these procedures or surgeries have been around for a little while,
but they're brought to the forefront because of Aaron Rodgers
and Show Heo Tani. And I don't know what kind
of leverage Show Heyo Tani has. He's going to be
able to be a hitter next year and then probably
try to resume pitching in a year from now. But
as it stands now show Hayo Tani, it's always successful surgery.
(37:59):
I've never heard when an athlete go, Nope, not successful.
I've had one surgery that wasn't successful, but I didn't
have to tell the media when they say, how was
this surgery, I go, not successful? But everybody has successful surgery.
It's amazing, all right. Eight seven seven three DP show
email address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle the DP show.
(38:20):
Nick Schubb will need surgery. Still don't have the full
details on the extent of the injury, but that looked devastating.
Saquon Barkley could be back as early as tomorrow night.
Here is the head coach of the Giants, Brian Dable.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
I'm not saying that he's out yet. He's he's a
quick healer. I'm not saying he's in.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
He's out.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
We're going to take it all the way up with
him to Thursday. But he feels a lot better today.
I just I just talked to him. So we'll see,
We'll see where we're at.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Okay. I hope you give Saquon Barkley a heads up, Coach,
just so the media if they see him, they don't go, hey, hey,
you're going to be back tomorrow night and Saquon Barkley goes, huh, yeah,
coach said you might be back now. This feels like
gamesmanship that, you know, we're not going to give the
Niners an edge here by preparing for Saquon Barkley or
(39:15):
not preparing for Saquon Barkley. But I did snicker a
little bit about that. You know, we know that the
Mothership set a record with Colorado, Colorado State as far
as viewing, and it was close to nine million people
and late night too, I mean it was prime but
then it went into you know, one and two in
the morning. Well, we were watching, but so were some
(39:38):
other people like the forty nine ers. Fred Warner, the
Niners linebacker, talked about watching Dionne in Colorado.
Speaker 10 (39:47):
We are in the hotel the night before the game,
all right, we were sitting in the meal room. They
got called football on the night before games, right on
the big screen while we're eating our meal. And when
I tell you that, every buddies in that meal room
dialed in, everybody dialed in watching Colorado versus Colorado.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
State exactly like.
Speaker 12 (40:08):
And they're literally likely jumping at every single little play
to start that game. Like it was as if we're
watching the super Bowl exactly like that in itself right there, that's.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
All you need to know about.
Speaker 10 (40:20):
What about what dion has done to that program.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
So that's Fred Warner. They're watching it like it's a
super Bowl, a super Bowl watch party, and it's Colorado
and Colorado State. What made the story even bigger and
better is Colorado was trailing at halftime, and then you
had the back and forth, you had the injury, you had,
I mean, you had so much back and forth here,
and you had you know, sometimes you have a game
(40:47):
and other times you have a story. Colorado is a story.
Now they're playing a game, but you're watching a story unfold.
You're not quite sure how it ends, but you're just
flipping through the chapter. And so far we've had three
chapters and it's been pretty interesting. And now they go
to Oregon. And as a former gambler, I sometimes would
(41:11):
bet with my heart, like I'm betting for what I
think is going to be the story. There's a lot
of betters who are taking Colorado outright against Oregon, and
I think Oregon is a twenty four point favorite last
I looked. But they're taking Colorado to win this game outright,
just because they're betting with their heart, not with their heads. Yes, yes, Paul,
(41:34):
I check.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Some numbers with Darren Level at the Action Network. He
said the same thing happened last week. The emotional public
was all betting on Colorado. The betters were betting on
Colorado State to cover because the line went from like
twenty one to twenty seven in three or four days
a lot. Everyone's betting with emotion on this.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
One, and they'll be doing that again. You know, you're
watching the game and you want Colorado to win. You
want Dion to win, at least you do. Now you
don't want to beat against that. You want to be
all in on the party here all in on the story,
and that usually doesn't work out well for a better Yes, Mark.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Is Colorado starting to sell starter jackets, because if this
was nineteen ninety five, I'd be asking for a starter
jacket right now.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
Remember Georgetown had.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
The starter jackets.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Whoever the cool team was in that certain era, everyone
had the starter jacket. I feel like everyone needs a
Colorado starter jacket.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Here is Dion talking about the Colorado State player and
the hit that he had on Travis Hunter.
Speaker 13 (42:32):
Every Blackburn is a good player who played a phenomenal game.
He made a tremendous hit on Trappers on the sideline.
You could call it dirty, you could call it He
was just playing the game of football. But whatever it was,
it does not constitute that he should be receiving death threats.
He does not deserve a death threat over a game.
(42:54):
At the end of the day, this is a game.
Someone must win, someone must lose. Everybody continue and use
their life.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
The next day when I saw that he was getting
death threats. Now, Dion did say in that same press conference,
he gets death threats, which he kind of said, Hey,
I can handle that. But this is a college kid,
and there are people who actually take time out of
their day to issue a death threat to him on
(43:23):
social media, and Dion coming out to say, this is
a game, what are you doing? Was it a cheap
hit or was he just playing football? Travis Hunter is
not going to be able to play for a couple
of weeks. Dion's son, the quarterback Shador, said that he
wanted to go after Blackburn, but Dion saying, it's a game.
(43:48):
We know it's more than that, and it's a heated rivalry.
But imagine somebody going, I'm so mad, I'm going to
issue a death threat against this kid. I mean, put
your address out there, put your phone number out there,
going to put this out there on social media. So
twenty one year old kid, yeah, coming up, show Hey,
