Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. Happy New Year. You can say it today
and then that's it. Is it Happy new Year? Happy
New Years? Because I thought it was singular? Todd.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Let me ask you, being the highly educated Danett, I
would go with happy New Year.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm not one hundred percent sure, but happy new Year.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
It's the new year years.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
I don't know, Okay, where do we get Happy New Years?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Because like New.
Speaker 6 (00:25):
Year's Eve, so I guess sometimes the apostrophe s gets
attached further than it should Seaton.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
I think Todd just nailed it.
Speaker 7 (00:32):
I think people say happy New Years because it's a
New Year's eve, okay, but it's really happy New Year, okay,
because it's a new year one of them.
Speaker 8 (00:38):
Yes, Paul double checking, Yeah, new Year singular New Year's
plural is incorrect, grammar wise new Year.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The Cleveland Browns have a new head coach, Segue Kevin
Stefanski fired earlier this morning. Also, the Atlanta Falcons need
a new head coach and a general manager, and Albert Brier,
the Monday morning quarterback, will stop by in about twenty minutes.
Any other coaches that could be hanging in the balance
weather Futures eight seven seven three DP. Show operator Tyler
(01:07):
sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Good morning. If
you're watching on Peacock you get to watch this show.
Download the app if you haven't done so. Stat of
the Day is always brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Pole
question from hour one, we'll give you the final results,
and we'll have a new one in an hour two.
Steve Young a little later on, Gary Danielson, great college
(01:28):
football analyst, will join us as well. The seating is
set interesting with the matchups here, and you could see
where three or four teams are going to win.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
On the road.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The Rams they are favored by nine and a half
in Carolina, Packers are favored at the Bears by one
and a half. The Bills on the road favored by
one and a half against the Jags, the Texans favored
by three and a half against the Steelers, the Niners
on the road getting points three and a half, Chargers
on the road against the Patriots getting three and a
(02:00):
half as well. And for entertainment purposes only, in case
you're following the college football playoffs, Miami is a three
and a half point favored against Old miss and Indiana
a four point favorite against Oregon. By the way, the
new Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham, he'll join us on
the program tomorrow, talk about that surprise move out of
(02:24):
nowhere in Michigan. They salvage this. I didn't think they
were going to. I thought they were going to stay
with an interim head coach, get through the mess that
they have in the athletic department, and then you're gonna
have a lot of people interested in that job. But
they they got lucky because Kyle Winningham is a as
respected as any coach in America.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
He will join us coming up.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We'll ask him how good he is at cleaning up
messes here because he's got a couple of spills Aisle five,
Aisle two. But we'll talk to him on the program tomorrow.
All right, Seaton Poll question results from our one and
then what are we going with our two?
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Most surprising playoff missed from the AFC Your options Bengals,
Chiefs Cults Ravens. Right now, the Chiefs have fifty four
percent of that vote, followed by the Ravens. Okay, Bengals
it's kind of sad that nobody is surprised that they
didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But you know what, Joe Burrow fought to get back
and they should have been a playoff team when he
got back. They had time to be a playoff team
because nobody in the AFC North is good. Pittsburgh just survived,
and that's where you look at it and you go,
you guys had a chance here and then losing to
Cleveland yesterday in dramatic fashion in Cincinnati against Cleveland, and
(03:44):
Joe Burrow played pretty well, but you know, once again,
there's no defense there. If you're letting Shador Sanders go
down the field with a minute to go and get
in field goal range, that's a bad defense, bad defense.
And I wonder if Trey Hendrick's and will even be
there next year. You know, I saw where in once again,
this is just people throwing things against the wall. Maybe
(04:07):
Max Crosby in Cincinnati, but I'm Max Crosby and I'm
not happy with the Raiders. I don't know how happy
I'm going to be in Cincinnati. But yeah, you start
to look at these it's easy to look at the
teams advancing. Sometimes you got to look at the teams
that didn't advance like Detroit is really interesting from this
(04:27):
perspective Dan Campbell's future next season, How important will that
season be for his future? Because they're regressing a little
bit here. The Browns are going to get a new
head coach. What are they going to do in the draft?
You're going to draft a quarterback? You know, the Colt situation.
They're having their coach, their coaching staff is coming back.
(04:51):
Riley Leonard looked pretty good. I mean he looked athletic.
I don't know how good did my voice.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
Go up with that?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
He looked pretty good?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Hang, yeah, yeah, carried with the forty four year old. Yeah, yeah,
I was gonna say looked athletic. But then you know
Philip Rivers and then you bring in Riley Leonard, who
he did okay, you know against a really good defense.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Yes, Mortvian, you sounded like with somebody asking, oh, how'd
that girl look? He's nice personality.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We'll get to your phone calls coming up. Whole question
for hour two is going to be what, By the way,
I went to see the movie Marty Supreme with Timothy Challow.
May I can do a review, maybe a little later.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
On this album.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Anybody else see Marty Supreme? Oh back Rod Todd Todd
out to see a movie?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Is there nudity in it?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I almost went to see The house Man.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That's what my wife thought I was gonna pick, but
I said.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
We'll go see the Ping Pong movie. Went with Shalam and, Uh,
did you want to say what I thought of it?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
No? No, no, I just asked you that you you
said you went.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Yes, And we almost went to see song Sung Blues
that was a possibility, but we ended up going with
Shallo May.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I heard the song Sung Blue is very good with
Hugh Jackman and uh, what's.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Your name in the rom com Kate Hudson, Yeah, Kate Hutson.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
And it wasn't about it was about a cover for
Neil Diamond, Wasn't Some people think it was.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
About like Neil Diamond in his life.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
That's more like the jazz singers, And this was just
about a cover band for Neil Diamond.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The husband and wife, yes, and then they go to
Vegas and they have their their Neil Diamond cover band
a seat and you saw Timothy Challowy and uh, Marty Supreme.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
That did okay?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, I think we'll give you our opinions our reviews
coming up a little bit later on.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
Yes, Marv, I did see go I did go see
The Housemaid? How was that suspenseful?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Okay? What is it about?
Speaker 10 (06:45):
So it's about a maid that moves in to someone's
house all other name and the wife played by Amanda
Sigfried is crazy. And then there's a twist that threw
me for a loop. My wife had read the book. Marvin,
we have to go see this movie.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
You want to see it?
Speaker 10 (07:01):
And I say sure, And the twist threw me for
a loop. It's really good, okay. I liked it all right.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And your wife's voice is not that deep in my story,
I know, just like that whenever I hear your wife
talking when I when I saw at the Christmas party.
You know, she's a sweet person and I always thinking
of your deep voice, like she's a smoker.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Yes, Todd, twist my arm.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
To see Sidney Sweeney on the screen for a couple
of hours. It's got to be a tough decision to make.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
But you didn't go and see it.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
It didn't because I thought my wife is playing a
little trick on you to test me.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And I'm like, no, we don't have to see Sidney Sweeney.
We'll go see Shallow May play Ping.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Pong, Timothy Chala May. Yeah, all right, let's see. I
got a couple other things. You're Super Bowl odds. It's
just sent over DraftKings, Seahawks, then the Rams, third favorite Broncos.
Then the Eagles, Eagles and Patriots are tied, followed by
(07:58):
the Bills, the Jags, the Tes, the Packers, Wow, Bears, Niners, Chargers, Steelers,
then the Panthers. So Seahawks plus three to fifty, Rams
plus four twenty five, then the Broncos six fifty, the
Eagles and Patriots plus nine to fifty, then the Bills
plus one thousand. Once again, the Jaguars not getting any recognition.
(08:21):
But you know what, that's good. It's okay. You can
keep proving us wrong. You did a great job this season.
Wonderful season. Certainly, Trevor Lawrence look like he's supposed to
a number one pick overall, a franchise quarterback. But if
I said Seahawks are the Rams, see it comes down
(08:44):
to this. I trust Matthew Stafford, that's it. I trust
Sean McVay. Mike McDonald did a great job just ask
the Baltimore Ravens. They lost their defensive coordinator and he
did an unbelievable job with Seattle. But I you know,
it gets to these moments here, like can I trust
(09:07):
bow Nicks, I know the Eagles, like Jalen Hurts? I
can trust in a big game. He's proven that Drake May.
He's gonna have to show big game. I can win
the Bills. Josh Allen, you know how much trust do
you have in Let's just go down the list of
these quarterbacks. Sam Darnold, No, Matthew Stafford, yes, Bo Nicks, no,
(09:35):
Jalen Hurts, Yes, Drake May not yet Josh Allen, I'm
gonna say yes, no, No. I think he plays well.
I don't think his team always plays well. I think
he I have trust in him. Trevor Lawrence trust, c J. Stroud, trust,
(10:02):
Caleb Williams, Rock Party, Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, Bryce Young.
Those are your postseason quarterbacks, guess, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (10:19):
Storyline wise, when we get the San Francisco, what would
be the dream scenario as far as QB matchup?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I guess Sam Donald and the Seahawks and the Super
Bowl would be pretty fascinating Well, for me, I'm just saying,
with everything that's happened with Sam Darnold and if he's
in the Super Bowl Stafford again, people aren't going to
want to see the Eagles, Patriots, Bills. It'd be the
(10:51):
Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Who would you put in there? How about Bills? Ram?
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Yes, I'm gonna go off the board and it's very unlikely,
but I would like to see Green Bay Pittsburgh in
the Super Bowl because two underdogs and put at the
bed for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
M unlikely. Oh, it is unlikely. Okay? Is there a
dream match up here?
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
If I'm programming this? All right, NBC's got Super Bowl,
so we're programming this. The Bills have to be a.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
Have to be.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Is there a better story Rams Bills? Maybe a walk
off with Stafford?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I don't know if he he was the only reason
why I didn't pick them to go to the Super Bowl.
I thought he can't stay healthy. Now he's going to
be the MVP, followed by Drey your title ODGS for
college football, it's Miami second, followed by Oregon and then
Ole Miss so Indiana plus one thirty. Then it's Miami three.
(12:11):
Ten Oregon three twenty and then Old Miss plus six
hundred James in Virginia, James, Happy New.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
Year, Thanks, oh thank you for taking my call. Brother.
Happy Monday, DP, Dannette, Salute the Commanders, Man, big down
over the town every time, Man, and happy New Year
to you guys. Wow, as a football fan, how could
you not be happy with what we have in store?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Man?
Speaker 11 (12:36):
The final four in the college football playoffs? Man, I
called in way back when Old Miss b lsu Askay
Shambles's this guy is amazing. Just seen him for the
first time, had no idea about a story, did not
think they were going to make the run right now
in the playoffs, but one game away from the national championship.
That is amazing to me. And then in the NFL, Wow,
(12:59):
I did not. I ain't been a team with seven
losses would make it. And outside of the NFC South
and the AFC North, no other team has six or
more more than six losses. It's gonna be a great playoff.
I think your dream scenario would be Bills Bears, and
I think the Bills have the most pressure on them.
(13:19):
That game this weekend against Jacksonville, to me, is the
game of the weekend. I think you could say Niners
Eagles could be great, but man, the Bills each week?
Did they stay in it? That pressure is just gonna
mountain now. But I like to see what happens. Man,
salute the commanders. Man went off on a W. Man
went off on the W. You guys have a great day.
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
All right, love the energy there. It's a gap year
for you, all right. You know you'll get them next year.
Gus in La Hi, Gus, best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
Good more than mister Patrick. I hope you're in the
boys had a great break. Larry David says, I'm only
allowed to have three days to wish you happy New Year,
so I just wish you boys have a great year.
What a tale of two weeks. If this phone call
took place a week ago.
Speaker 12 (14:04):
I was calling in the scorch earth and say everybody's
got to go, Tomlin's got to go, everybody and coaching
Steff's gotta go there bye. And then this morning I'm like,
you know, I mean he can hang around for a.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
Few more weeks. You know, we'll see what happened. Yeah,
But I mean, truly, I like I don't. I don't
know anymore.
Speaker 12 (14:23):
Like it's it's I don't know which Steeler team's gonna
show up. I mean, this team's been blown out this year,
they've shown up this year. I don't get it. It
is the most unpredictable year and steal at football. I mean,
I'm gonna ride it out until the wheels fall off.
Speaker 9 (14:37):
But I don't know. I think this may be Tom
was last year. You know, we want to game the rap.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
We have problems with the phones today. It feels like
it that does Chris and Buddha. That might be just
those guys, and those guys are in California.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, maybe cha.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
All right, thank you get some of your best people
on that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, it's nice to say, hey, we're gonna roll with
Tomlin and the Steelers until well, they lose this next
game where they're an underdog at home against the Texans.
That's not gonna go over a while, all right. Albert Breer,
Monday Morning Quarterback, will join us. Get his thoughts on
what the Browns did firing Kevin Stefanski, the Falcons moving
(15:17):
on from a coach and general manager, and who's next.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
More of your phone calls coming up, we will give
you our best and worst of the weekend and a
movie review of Marty Supreme with Timothy shallow May. You know,
I'm watching the movie and all of a sudden, I go,
that's George Gervin. So Ice Gervin is in the movie.
I think Tracy McGrady might be in the movie.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
It was like one of the Globe trotters.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah you're watching you, You're going, that's George Gervin. And
I know Timothy Shallow May is a big NBA fan
I don't know if he said to the Saftie brothers, Hey,
let's put in George Gervin.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I saw an interview while we were on break because
I don't know if you've caught this, but he's been
doing interview with Timothy Shallo May.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
But they I forget who's talk about.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
I forget exactly what the question was, but it was
basically along the lines of, like, what's the best part
of like your life right now? Are being famous or whatever?
And he's like, oh, access to the Knicks. Greatest thing
that's ever happened to me is access to I get
Nick tickets whenever I want, I could sit, when I
can talk to whoever I wanted. Access to the Knicks
is by far the best thing that's happened to me.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But imagine you're a kid growing up in New York City.
You're a diehard Knicks fan. Next thing you know, your
front row Timothy Chela May twenty minutes from now will
give you our movie review.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, Tom Kemba Walker was with TMAC playing Harlem Glovester.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Okay, Oh, that's fun little cameo action there. Albert Brier,
the Monday Morning Quarterback Senior NFL reporter, We got hat
Kevin Stefanski fired an hour ago?
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Why was he fired?
Speaker 14 (17:38):
You know, I think it's just like a water under
the bridge type thing. Dan, They've been through a lot
together over the last six years. And yeah, this goes back,
of course to Deshaun Watson tray. They've done a lot
of good things there. They made the playoffs in twenty
they made the playoffs in twenty three, you know, and
they had a really good roster he and he and
(17:58):
Andrew Berry that they they inherited. Some of those guys
that they inherited are still there, Miles Garrett, Denzel Ward,
Joel Atonio.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Wyatt tell like top shelf guys, you know.
Speaker 14 (18:09):
And you know, I just think like the inability to
to to really to take the next step was part
of it, right, and how that all tied to a
single move. I mean, you think about the damage done
by the Deshaun Watson trade, right. It kicks your kicks out,
your ability to draft because you lose three first round picks,
(18:29):
It kills your salary cap, and it keeps you from
doing anything else, at least for a short period of
time to fix the quarterback position. And so I think
there's an acknowledgment in the building that everybody had their
hands tied behind their backs because of the trade, and
everybody's got blood on their hands because of it. I
just think because of all that history that they had
(18:50):
had been through and that that Kevin had been through
with the players, you know, it seems to me like
Jimmy just made this decision. It's just tough to move
forward with the status quo. And so I will say this,
it's going to be tough to find a better one
than Kevin Stefanski. And I think everybody's gonna find out
over the next two or three days how much the
(19:10):
rest of the league thanks to Stefanski with the amount
of interest he's going to get from other teams.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Is there a chance Deshaun Watson's the starting quarterback for
the Browns next year?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I mean, I think it's impossible. It's impossible to know
for sure until we know who the coach is.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Right, But he's healthy and under contract.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 14 (19:27):
Like, so you've already so we already know that they're
going to pay to Shaun Watson forty six million dollars
for next year, right if they cut him somebody would
sign him for the minimum, and so it would be
forty five.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
It'd be like forty five million dollars.
Speaker 14 (19:44):
You know, So you're already sinking that into it. You've
already sunk three first round picks into him.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
You know.
Speaker 14 (19:50):
I I think the worst thing for the Browns at
this point would be feeling like all right, like you know,
we're gonna move on, and then having him go have
great success somewhere else. So I could certainly see the
logic and like saying, like, you know, we're paying them anyway,
we might as well bring him back.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Here's the one caveat to that.
Speaker 14 (20:09):
The one caveat to that for me would be if
you are going to go all in on a young quarterback, right,
and if there's somebody and I can't remember where they're
pick is, you have it in front of you, Dan,
it's I think there's four or five somewhere in there,
and right, they're not five, the Giants are five, but
there's somewhere in there six, six, Okay.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
So like let's say they decide.
Speaker 14 (20:33):
We're going to go all in them for Nato Mendoza
or Dante more and somehow they get in position to
draft one of them, then I can see where it's like, Okay,
it's just not worth it having that around, you know
what I mean, like having kind of the ghost of
quarterbacks past here in the building, you know, and you
want to go with a clean slate for your young quarterback.
But if the plan is to go and bring in
(20:55):
you know, Kirk Cousins to compete with Shador Sanders and
Dylan Gabriel and next year, if it's something like that,
then I don't I'm not sure I see the harm
in taking one more swing at it with Deshaun Watson
just to make sure you got that wrong.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Even as every indication is that you have gotten wrong.
Speaker 14 (21:12):
And my understanding is just in the in the in
the in the near term, like he's actually been pretty good,
you know, in the.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Building and and and and and and.
Speaker 14 (21:21):
Throw his rehab over the course of this season, So
that would be the logic and taking a swing at it,
and that you've already sunk so much into it, you're
already paying him for next year, so why not give
it a run again? To me, like the one or
the one, the one, the one caveat there would be
if you've got a young quarterback that you want to
go all in on. You might want to take him
(21:42):
out of the equation just to give the new guy
a clean environment.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Better opening. Atlanta or Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
You know, it depends on what you think of Michael Pennix,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 14 (21:54):
Like I I you know, you you would think that
whoever's coming in there is going to have at least
a year, maybe two years with Pennix.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
They both have pretty solid young cores. I think, you know,
you look at Atlanta.
Speaker 14 (22:09):
A good veteran offensive line, one of the best players
in all football in any position in b John Robinson.
I don't know if Kyle Pitts will be there, but
it looks like he turned a corner. You've got some
young pieces on defense that you like that you might like,
you know, and the young pass rushers, you know, Walker
and Pierce that you drafted in the first round last year.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
But you don't have a first round pick, And.
Speaker 14 (22:32):
I think I probably maybe lean Cleveland because you get
to do your thing at quarterback, right so you get
to make your decision at quarterback. You've got that great
young draft class, and all those guys are going to
be on rookie contracts for the next few years, and
Mason Graham and Carson Swessinger and Harold Finn and the
two running backs Judkins and Samson, and.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
You have two first round picks.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You know.
Speaker 14 (22:57):
I mean, so you've got the ability to kind of
build there with the core. You have a couple of
older pieces in Warden Garrett. I might lean Cleveland, but
it's close. There's there that that's not a bear cupboard
in either place.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Albert Brier, the Monday Morning quarterback, he's senior NFL reporter.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
What should Vegas do?
Speaker 14 (23:20):
Well, I think, you know, I'd be surprised if Pete
Carroll made it the day. You know, I think Vegas
needs to figure out how they're going to be set
up going forward. You know, I think Tom Brady's got
to learn how to run a football team. And it
sounds weird coming from.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Me, you know what I mean. It's the greatest player
of all time.
Speaker 14 (23:38):
So I don't want to sound like like I don't
want to sound like an idiot saying that, but I
do think that there's parts of.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
It that you know, people who work there, so.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
There's a difference between running and all different.
Speaker 14 (23:50):
Yeah, John Elway, I get just tell you this John
Elway when he got back to Denver.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
In twenty and eleven.
Speaker 14 (23:56):
He eventually became kind of difficult to work for, But
at the beginning, like they were a very real acknowledgment
on John's part of of what he didn't know, you know,
like and he really rolled his sleeves up and learned
how to how to scout and how to evaluate and
like that. You know, that isn't as simple as like, yeah, well,
I you know, I played in the league for a
couple of decades, so I have an idea of.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
What I'm looking at.
Speaker 14 (24:17):
Of course you do, but it's not the same things
as building a team and managing a football operation, you know,
so you know it's going going forward. What's you know,
what's his role in all of that is, is he
committed to learning to run the show Because a lot
of people there refer to him as as the boss,
you know, whether you know he's there day to day
(24:38):
or not, and he's not their day to day. A
lot of people there look at him as the boss
of the football operation. So there's that piece of it.
You know, how does Alex Guerrero fit into that. There's
a bunch of people in that building who report Alex Guerrero.
How does you know John Spytech, the general manager, I
you know, I expect he'll be back, you know, what's
his role in picking the coach? And and then how
(24:58):
does the coach fit into the hosaic of all of that?
You know, I think like a huge part of the
issue this year was they kind of pieced everything together right,
like so it was like, all right, like, let's put
together an all star staff, Like we love Packgram as
the DC.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
He's going to work with Pete Carroll.
Speaker 14 (25:14):
Who, by the way, is run a completely different defensive system.
And now like let's go get Chip Kelly out of
Ohio state for six million dollars per year and let's
show our might and we can go and get these
sorts of guys.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Now it's a new day for the Raiders. Well, how
did all those pieces fit together?
Speaker 6 (25:28):
You know?
Speaker 14 (25:29):
I think that's the biggest piece of this is like,
so now with Tom Brady, you know, you know, ostensibly
like the guy who is in charge, how what does
that look like going forward?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
And how do all those pieces fit together?
Speaker 14 (25:42):
To me, that's the biggest piece of what I think
will be a coaching search coming up here. In the
next few days and weeks is like, how does the
coach fit into what you've built? Otherwise, are you reconfiguring
anything any of what you've.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Already got there?
Speaker 14 (25:57):
And there are big picture questions that the Raiders need
to answer and obviously a very very big decision coming
in April when it comes to what to.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Do with the first overall pick Tom Brady a better
broadcaster or owner broadcaster?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Now, i'd say, I mean, we'll see as ownership.
Speaker 14 (26:14):
I mean, I would say, there are there are so
many people that have been so intelligent that have been
humbled moving into ownership roles. You know, you know, I
always get that question, like how can this guy who
built this empire in business? And I know what he's
doing in football. I'm sure you have too, right, Like
I get that question. It's not the same thing.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
It's like the Mets owner. He just thinks I can
buy I buy everything right. In the NFL, you can't
buy everything right.
Speaker 14 (26:41):
And and a lot of them get humbled. I mean,
every one of them comes in and we're going to
be the Microsoft in football, you know what I mean, Like,
and we're going to reinvent everything. And that's why you
see so many of these owners like stock up on
analytics when they first, you know, get in the role.
It's like, oh, all of these idiots like are hiring
gym teachers and we're going to do it a different way. Well,
like there's an art to how this whole thing works
(27:04):
and how you put the whole thing together, and it's
not as easy. It's just saying I'm gonna throw money
at the problem and I'm going to apply the lessons
I learned in.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
My other business. This is a unique business, you know.
Speaker 14 (27:15):
So like I do think like Tom's got some some
I think he's he's he's got some He's got a
lot to learn when it comes to to being in
that role top you know, an organization, and you know
Mark Davis has empowered him to be a big voice
in that organization. He's gotta he's got to find his voice.
I actually think he's gotten really good at broadcasting too. Dan,
(27:37):
Like I I was skeptical at first, Like I thought
is as great as he is, Like you know, he
I think at the beginning was like a little and
I'm not you know, I guess we you know, if
you I don't know, if you want the media conversation here.
But he's a little he could be a little stiff
that first year, and I think he's really kind of
found his way with that, you know, like I think
he's gotten really really good at calling games.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I don't even notice it anymore, Like I don't really
care who's doing a game, you know, I used to,
you know, where it was mad and doing it. It
just feels like there's, you know, this plethora of football
that they're just a lot of voices that are there.
Now there's some that do it better than others. But
I'm not watching. I couldn't tell you what game Tom
(28:22):
did this weekend.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yeah, I mean, look, that's the thing for me too.
Speaker 14 (28:25):
It's like I'll get a better idea of the whole
thing when we get to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
I'm following so much.
Speaker 14 (28:31):
I mean, I honestly like I have a better idea
of how you know, herb Street and Collinsworth an Aikman
call a game just because they're standalone games. Like there's
just I'm paying attention to too much, like in those
one o'clock at four o'clock windows on Sunday, So it's
hard for me to really dive in.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
But what I have seen a Brady. It does seem
like he's gotten really good.
Speaker 14 (28:52):
And I I, you know, I remember hearing this a
couple of years ago that he was studying Johnny Miller
and trying to learn how to be critical, and I
thought that was really interesting. You know, So I do
think he's taking the job seriously.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, And you know, I talked to somebody who's friends
with him, and he even said, hey, would you talk to Tom?
I said, Tom doesn't need my input, and then he said, well,
what would you tell him? I would say, don't try
to be too structural, like like, this is fun, have fun,
you know, pick your spots, you know, say what you
(29:25):
need to say, give us insight, tell us things that
we don't know. We don't a lot of times I
found out that these guys who played don't know that
we don't know something, and they'll be like, oh you
know this, Oh you know what watch that.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I would never think that.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
And I think the more that Tom doesn't sound try
to sound like an analyst, the better that he'll be
like you know, Collinsworth and Herb Street, Aikman, Tony, you know,
they kind of go, you know what, I'm just going
to be myself, and that's really hard to do. They
tell people in this business, just be yourself. Yeah, I've
(30:02):
been working for forty years trying to figure out who
I am, So I can't expect Tom to be himself.
He may not know who he is as a person
in the spotlight.
Speaker 14 (30:12):
I'm with you because I remember when I started doing TV,
you know, twenty years ago. I remember somebody telling me
you want to be almost like one and a half
of yourself, and so then there's a tendency to get
out there and be mister announcer guy with everything and
try to enunciate everything correctly and all that different stuff.
And you know, I sort of like I tell younger
(30:34):
people now who ask me, I'm like, there'll be a
point when you feel like mister announcer guy, and then
there'll be a point when you're talking to a camera
and you.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Start to feel like yourself.
Speaker 14 (30:43):
And I feel like that's when you're starting to get
it right, Like when you're doing both when it's like, yeah,
I'm not talking like i'd normally be talking to my friends,
but I do sound like myself.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
In my job, part of my job is to make
you forget that you're on tea or on radio, which
you're pretty good. So we just have a conversation like that.
That's the goal each time, all right, before I let
you go other possible openings.
Speaker 14 (31:11):
Yeah, so, you know, I think the Dolphins want to
move forward with Mike McDaniel. I know, their meeting and
recapping the season here today. I don't anticipate anything today,
but in the next couple of days, you know, I
think they'll make that decision.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
And you know, they're going to have a little bit.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
Of a different structure of Brandon Shore has been elevated there.
He's you know, he's reporting directly to ownership. That's their
cap guy. So they're gonna have like sort of a
three headed monster, or they're gonna hire the new GM
will be a scouting.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Type and they'll move on from TUA in Miami.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
I think that's that's likely. Yeah, I think that's likely.
Speaker 14 (31:46):
I do think McDaniel's fate could be tied and at
least in some way to maybe what's available out there.
You know, does Stefanski is now available? Does John Harbaugh
become available? So that's something and I'm just kind of
like looking through some my notes.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Just John Harball become available, I.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
Think that's a little bit of a coin flip right now.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
You know, I think you have those discussions.
Speaker 14 (32:07):
I wouldn't move on from him if I were the Ravens,
but I would say this. I had people there tell
me that they believe this is the best roster they'd
ever had going into the season, that level of expectation
with the team. You've got a looming contract negotiation with
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
There's just a.
Speaker 14 (32:25):
Lot to sort through and digging out from underneath the
season there, And you know, I think that that provokes
those big picture questions. So I wouldn't say I'm one
hundred percent one way or the other on the Ravens.
The Cardinals, I'd expect they're going to hang on to
their general manager, Monty Ausin for it. They really like
Jonathan Gannon, their head coach. Obviously, they end the season
(32:46):
the way they've ended, which I don't think they've won
a game since September October.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
But you know, I think and they move on from
Kyler Murray as well.
Speaker 14 (32:54):
I think, well, I think with Gannon, the thing is
like I think it may come down to and Gannon's
are really loyal guy. I wonder if they ask him
to make changes on his coaching staff and that leads
to something. You know, we've seen that before, so you know,
does does does does he go down with the ship?
I think that that's a fair question. Kyler Murray's future
(33:14):
is certainly tied to all of that.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You know as well, and about real quick before I
before I have to go more likely to move on
from their team Harball and Baltimore or Tomlin in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 14 (33:28):
Right now because the Steelers are in I would say
Harbaugh in Baltimore.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
But if they lose that game at home, it's weird
they make that Ki.
Speaker 14 (33:38):
They made the thing about here's the thing about the
Steelers though, Dan.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
The Steelers have TJ.
Speaker 14 (33:44):
Watt, Cam Hayward, Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
All these guys are older players, right.
Speaker 14 (33:49):
And so a pretty pretty substantial reset is coming. That's
when that conversation happens, Right, Like, dude, does Mike Tomlin want.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
To go through a two or a three or four rebuild?
Speaker 9 (34:01):
Right?
Speaker 14 (34:01):
Do the Stealer see him as the voice they want
in there leading that rebuild? If you're tom when do
you look at it and say what I do. Do
I want to do that or do I want to
take a year in TV and then maybe go to
a situation in twenty seven that's a little bit more
ready made because their season is still going on. I
don't think they fully confronted those questions, you know, I
(34:22):
think both are you know I again like I those
are two more where I just I think, you know,
Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both a little bit up in
the air.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
But that's what you get when.
Speaker 14 (34:31):
Guys have been in those positions for as long as
John and Mike have been.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Thank you, Bud. I appreciate Albert.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
That's Albert Breer. Monday Morning quarterback Matt Ryan. It looks
like there's a chance that he is going to join
the Falcons. I believe Jay Glazer from Fox Sports is
reporting this. This has been in the works here for
a little while. Adam Schefter reporting Atlanta expected to hire
(34:58):
Matt Ryan as the new president of football operations.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Well take a break. We will give you our best.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
And worst of the weekend and a movie review of
Marty Supreme with Timothy Shallma.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Best and worst of the weekend, Todd, I'll start with you.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Best.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
The Seahawks defense Saturday night in Santa Clara, allowing just
one hundred and seventy three total yards, which is the
Niners fewest in a regular season game since Kyle Shanahan
took over his head coach in twenty seventeen. Also three points,
they're fewest since they scored that a mountain Shanahan's.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Coaching debut with the Niners.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Seattle kept them to just nine first downs, none in
the first quarter, but that was pretty presive.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Worst.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
I know that QB got banged up Ty Simpsons a
little bit, but Alabama losing thirty eight to three.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yikes, Saint No Connor. Best and worst. I'm gonna go
two bests. My best from last night. Actually both of
them are from the same game. Now I think about it,
Mike Tico, I thought had a great game last night.
He did really well, and he matched that. There are
only a few times where I think that you could
say a broadcaster helped make the game better. I feel
like Mike Erico really did that.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Yes, he did.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
He and Chris were kind of trying to make that
an interesting game for three quarters and then all of
a sudden and Mike match the moment there at the
very end with do we have his call of the
field goal?
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Marvin or was that on our play.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Of the day.
Speaker 10 (36:24):
That's our play of the day. And also that was
the Pittsburgh Steelers' home call.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Oh okay, all right, and your other besters, see, oh.
Speaker 7 (36:32):
My other bester was Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers. That
was kind of awesome. I really feel like they, like
you said, they both sort of needed that win. Yeah,
maybe they both overperformed a little bit there too, but
that felt good to see.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
If Matt Ryan is going to go to the Falcons
and be their president and football operations, there's a chair
open on the NFL today on CBS. You could have
Bill Kauer and Mike Tomlin on there, Nate burleson.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Aaron Rodgers in that slot too. I mean, next year,
Marvin beston works to the weekend, all.
Speaker 10 (37:07):
Right, best of the weekend. Former Bears legend Mitch Trubisky,
who's now the Bills starting quarterback or backup quarterback twenty
two to twenty nine, two hundred and fifty nine yards,
four touchdowns. Worst of the weekend. We touched on this earlier.
The Jets just finished out their season horrendous, thirty five
to eight. Like you said, first team in NFL history
to not have an interception during the season, not even
(37:28):
like a.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
Tip over five hundred pounds, no rcis not even.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That I know receiver caused interception, all right, Paul beston worse.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
I'm gonna go back a few days. Ole miss quarterback
Trinidad chambliss Man. He was a magician and saved that
game against the Georgia Bulldogs. And the other best of
the weekend. Just last night, a really good game, the
Division III National title game. The heavyweight North Central out
of Naperville, Illinois lost. Believe or not too uw River Falls,
Wisconsin River Falls. They got further than ever the their
(37:58):
coach have been there a long time. He got them
their first ever national title.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
All right, Marty Supreme. I went to see it, Todd
went to see it. Seaton went to see it, not
at the same time. And it is a ping pong movie.
It is a sports movie, I guess. And Timothy Shallomy
is the star of that, Todd give your review.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
I thought it was compelling and kept my interest, but
I found it at times a bit too odd, as
if the producer and directors were trying too hard to
stand out among other films to hope to win awards
of some sort. That's just how I experience it, and
it's been a lot of ping pong to watch Seaton.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
I thought it was awesome, awesome, one of the most
unique movies I've ever seen, borderline brilliant. Yes, I think
it takes Timothy shallow May to a whole other level
of actor.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
There is no doubt about his ability. No doubt because
he's not a good guy in this movie. There aren't
too many good guys in this movie. But it's shot
in a way one of the Saftie brothers. Just the
way it looks is different. I thought they could have
cut out twenty minutes and I wouldn't have missed it.
But there are some pretty crazy moments, fun moments. It
(39:08):
almost felt like the Cohen Brothers. If you're you know,
fans of the Cohen Brothers, the Saffee Brothers feel like
they're the modern day incarnation of them.
Speaker 9 (39:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Seen, it feels like if you took Uncut Gems and
mashed it with Forrest Gump.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
This is the movie that would come out all.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Right, like it never from the moment like in Uncut Gems.
It's constant tension. It never takes its foot off the gas.
From the beginning scene to the very end, there's never
any moments that are down or not full of tension.
And somehow this dude lives a life that you're like,
what the heck?
Speaker 5 (39:44):
And it's based on a true story.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Loosely based on a true story, but it is every
bit of two and a half hours. But you know
it'll keep your attention. There are times where you go,
I don't know what that scene had to do with anything,
but I thought, you know, he'll be nominated for an
Academy Award.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
I don't think there's any question about that.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
And maybe he's gonna single handedly bring ping pong back, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (40:10):
Like Rounders with poker?
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Maybe is this the greatest ping king pen?
Speaker 9 (40:14):
Right?
Speaker 5 (40:14):
You know bowling?
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Can you guys say this is the greatest ping pong
movie of all time?
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Forrest Gump does play ping pong.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
I found five other ping pong movies, Balls of Fury,
Ping Pong, Summer, Top Spin, and King of Ping Pong,
and as one, I found seven different ping pong related movies.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I would like to see Forrest Gump against Timothy Schalome
Marty Supreme, because I would take Forrest Gump, but the
actual the guy that he competes with, Japanese player is actually,
I believe, a world class ping pong player in real life.
So I would say that the collective here says thumbs
up for Marty Supreme. It was very good, very good.
(40:56):
I thought he was great. I thought the movie was good.
I don't know if there'll be a sequel. Marty's Supremer
Final Hour. On the way Steve Young will stop by
the great college football analyst Gary Danielson and more phone
calls best and worst of the weekend Final Hour.
Speaker 5 (41:14):
Right after this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. Happy New Year. You can say it today
and then that's it. Is it Happy new Year? Happy
New Years? Because I thought it was singular? Todd.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Let me ask you, being the highly educated Danett, I
would go with happy New Year.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm not one hundred percent sure, but happy new Year.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
It's the new year years.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
I don't know, Okay, where do we get Happy New Years?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Because like New.
Speaker 6 (00:25):
Year's Eve, so I guess sometimes the apostrophe s gets
attached further than it should Seaton.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
I think Todd just nailed it.
Speaker 7 (00:32):
I think people say happy New Years because it's a
New Year's eve, okay, but it's really happy New Year, okay,
because it's a new year one of them.
Speaker 8 (00:38):
Yes, Paul double checking, Yeah, new Year singular New Year's
plural is incorrect, grammar wise new Year.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The Cleveland Browns have a new head coach, Segue Kevin
Stefanski fired earlier this morning. Also, the Atlanta Falcons need
a new head coach and a general manager, and Albert Brier,
the Monday morning quarterback, will stop by in about twenty minutes.
Any other coaches that could be hanging in the balance
weather Futures eight seven seven three DP. Show operator Tyler
(01:07):
sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Good morning. If
you're watching on Peacock you get to watch this show.
Download the app if you haven't done so. Stat of
the Day is always brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Pole
question from hour one, we'll give you the final results,
and we'll have a new one in an hour two.
Steve Young a little later on, Gary Danielson, great college
(01:28):
football analyst, will join us as well. The seating is
set interesting with the matchups here, and you could see
where three or four teams are going to win.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
On the road.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The Rams they are favored by nine and a half
in Carolina, Packers are favored at the Bears by one
and a half. The Bills on the road favored by
one and a half against the Jags, the Texans favored
by three and a half against the Steelers, the Niners
on the road getting points three and a half, Chargers
on the road against the Patriots getting three and a
(02:00):
half as well. And for entertainment purposes only, in case
you're following the college football playoffs, Miami is a three
and a half point favored against Old miss and Indiana
a four point favorite against Oregon. By the way, the
new Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham, he'll join us on
the program tomorrow, talk about that surprise move out of
(02:24):
nowhere in Michigan. They salvage this. I didn't think they
were going to. I thought they were going to stay
with an interim head coach, get through the mess that
they have in the athletic department, and then you're gonna
have a lot of people interested in that job. But
they they got lucky because Kyle Winningham is a as
respected as any coach in America.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
He will join us coming up.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We'll ask him how good he is at cleaning up
messes here because he's got a couple of spills Aisle five,
Aisle two. But we'll talk to him on the program tomorrow.
All right, Seaton Poll question results from our one and
then what are we going with our two?
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Most surprising playoff missed from the AFC Your options Bengals,
Chiefs Cults Ravens. Right now, the Chiefs have fifty four
percent of that vote, followed by the Ravens. Okay, Bengals
it's kind of sad that nobody is surprised that they
didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But you know what, Joe Burrow fought to get back
and they should have been a playoff team when he
got back. They had time to be a playoff team
because nobody in the AFC North is good. Pittsburgh just survived,
and that's where you look at it and you go,
you guys had a chance here and then losing to
Cleveland yesterday in dramatic fashion in Cincinnati against Cleveland, and
(03:44):
Joe Burrow played pretty well, but you know, once again,
there's no defense there. If you're letting Shador Sanders go
down the field with a minute to go and get
in field goal range, that's a bad defense, bad defense.
And I wonder if Trey Hendrick's and will even be
there next year. You know, I saw where in once again,
this is just people throwing things against the wall. Maybe
(04:07):
Max Crosby in Cincinnati, but I'm Max Crosby and I'm
not happy with the Raiders. I don't know how happy
I'm going to be in Cincinnati. But yeah, you start
to look at these it's easy to look at the
teams advancing. Sometimes you got to look at the teams
that didn't advance like Detroit is really interesting from this
(04:27):
perspective Dan Campbell's future next season, How important will that
season be for his future? Because they're regressing a little
bit here. The Browns are going to get a new
head coach. What are they going to do in the draft?
You're going to draft a quarterback? You know, the Colt situation.
They're having their coach, their coaching staff is coming back.
(04:51):
Riley Leonard looked pretty good. I mean he looked athletic.
I don't know how good did my voice.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
Go up with that?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
He looked pretty good?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Hang, yeah, yeah, carried with the forty four year old. Yeah, yeah,
I was gonna say looked athletic. But then you know
Philip Rivers and then you bring in Riley Leonard, who
he did okay, you know against a really good defense.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Yes, Mortvian, you sounded like with somebody asking, oh, how'd
that girl look? He's nice personality.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We'll get to your phone calls coming up. Whole question
for hour two is going to be what, By the way,
I went to see the movie Marty Supreme with Timothy Challow.
May I can do a review, maybe a little later.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
On this album.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Anybody else see Marty Supreme? Oh back Rod Todd Todd
out to see a movie?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Is there nudity in it?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I almost went to see The house Man.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That's what my wife thought I was gonna pick, but
I said.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
We'll go see the Ping Pong movie. Went with Shalam and, Uh,
did you want to say what I thought of it?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
No? No, no, I just asked you that you you
said you went.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Yes, And we almost went to see song Sung Blues
that was a possibility, but we ended up going with
Shallo May.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I heard the song Sung Blue is very good with
Hugh Jackman and uh, what's.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Your name in the rom com Kate Hudson, Yeah, Kate Hutson.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
And it wasn't about it was about a cover for
Neil Diamond, Wasn't Some people think it was.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
About like Neil Diamond in his life.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
That's more like the jazz singers, And this was just
about a cover band for Neil Diamond.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The husband and wife, yes, and then they go to
Vegas and they have their their Neil Diamond cover band
a seat and you saw Timothy Challowy and uh, Marty Supreme.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
That did okay?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, I think we'll give you our opinions our reviews
coming up a little bit later on.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
Yes, Marv, I did see go I did go see
The Housemaid? How was that suspenseful?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Okay? What is it about?
Speaker 10 (06:45):
So it's about a maid that moves in to someone's
house all other name and the wife played by Amanda
Sigfried is crazy. And then there's a twist that threw
me for a loop. My wife had read the book. Marvin,
we have to go see this movie.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
You want to see it?
Speaker 10 (07:01):
And I say sure, And the twist threw me for
a loop. It's really good, okay. I liked it all right.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And your wife's voice is not that deep in my story,
I know, just like that whenever I hear your wife
talking when I when I saw at the Christmas party.
You know, she's a sweet person and I always thinking
of your deep voice, like she's a smoker.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Yes, Todd, twist my arm.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
To see Sidney Sweeney on the screen for a couple
of hours. It's got to be a tough decision to make.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
But you didn't go and see it.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
It didn't because I thought my wife is playing a
little trick on you to test me.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And I'm like, no, we don't have to see Sidney Sweeney.
We'll go see Shallow May play Ping.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Pong, Timothy Chala May. Yeah, all right, let's see. I
got a couple other things. You're Super Bowl odds. It's
just sent over DraftKings, Seahawks, then the Rams, third favorite Broncos.
Then the Eagles, Eagles and Patriots are tied, followed by
(07:58):
the Bills, the Jags, the Tes, the Packers, Wow, Bears, Niners, Chargers, Steelers,
then the Panthers. So Seahawks plus three to fifty, Rams
plus four twenty five, then the Broncos six fifty, the
Eagles and Patriots plus nine to fifty, then the Bills
plus one thousand. Once again, the Jaguars not getting any recognition.
(08:21):
But you know what, that's good. It's okay. You can
keep proving us wrong. You did a great job this season.
Wonderful season. Certainly, Trevor Lawrence look like he's supposed to
a number one pick overall, a franchise quarterback. But if
I said Seahawks are the Rams, see it comes down
(08:44):
to this. I trust Matthew Stafford, that's it. I trust
Sean McVay. Mike McDonald did a great job just ask
the Baltimore Ravens. They lost their defensive coordinator and he
did an unbelievable job with Seattle. But I you know,
it gets to these moments here, like can I trust
(09:07):
bow Nicks, I know the Eagles, like Jalen Hurts? I
can trust in a big game. He's proven that Drake May.
He's gonna have to show big game. I can win
the Bills. Josh Allen, you know how much trust do
you have in Let's just go down the list of
these quarterbacks. Sam Darnold, No, Matthew Stafford, yes, Bo Nicks, no,
(09:35):
Jalen Hurts, Yes, Drake May not yet Josh Allen, I'm
gonna say yes, no, No. I think he plays well.
I don't think his team always plays well. I think
he I have trust in him. Trevor Lawrence trust, c J. Stroud, trust,
(10:02):
Caleb Williams, Rock Party, Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, Bryce Young.
Those are your postseason quarterbacks, guess, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (10:19):
Storyline wise, when we get the San Francisco, what would
be the dream scenario as far as QB matchup?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I guess Sam Donald and the Seahawks and the Super
Bowl would be pretty fascinating Well, for me, I'm just saying,
with everything that's happened with Sam Darnold and if he's
in the Super Bowl Stafford again, people aren't going to
want to see the Eagles, Patriots, Bills. It'd be the
(10:51):
Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Who would you put in there? How about Bills? Ram?
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Yes, I'm gonna go off the board and it's very unlikely,
but I would like to see Green Bay Pittsburgh in
the Super Bowl because two underdogs and put at the
bed for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
M unlikely. Oh, it is unlikely. Okay? Is there a
dream match up here?
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
If I'm programming this? All right, NBC's got Super Bowl,
so we're programming this. The Bills have to be a.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
Have to be.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Is there a better story Rams Bills? Maybe a walk
off with Stafford?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I don't know if he he was the only reason
why I didn't pick them to go to the Super Bowl.
I thought he can't stay healthy. Now he's going to
be the MVP, followed by Drey your title ODGS for
college football, it's Miami second, followed by Oregon and then
Ole Miss so Indiana plus one thirty. Then it's Miami three.
(12:11):
Ten Oregon three twenty and then Old Miss plus six
hundred James in Virginia, James, Happy New.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
Year, Thanks, oh thank you for taking my call. Brother.
Happy Monday, DP, Dannette, Salute the Commanders, Man, big down
over the town every time, Man, and happy New Year
to you guys. Wow, as a football fan, how could
you not be happy with what we have in store?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Man?
Speaker 11 (12:36):
The final four in the college football playoffs? Man, I
called in way back when Old Miss b lsu Askay
Shambles's this guy is amazing. Just seen him for the
first time, had no idea about a story, did not
think they were going to make the run right now
in the playoffs, but one game away from the national championship.
That is amazing to me. And then in the NFL, Wow,
(12:59):
I did not. I ain't been a team with seven
losses would make it. And outside of the NFC South
and the AFC North, no other team has six or
more more than six losses. It's gonna be a great playoff.
I think your dream scenario would be Bills Bears, and
I think the Bills have the most pressure on them.
(13:19):
That game this weekend against Jacksonville, to me, is the
game of the weekend. I think you could say Niners
Eagles could be great, but man, the Bills each week?
Did they stay in it? That pressure is just gonna
mountain now. But I like to see what happens. Man,
salute the commanders. Man went off on a W. Man
went off on the W. You guys have a great day.
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
All right, love the energy there. It's a gap year
for you, all right. You know you'll get them next year.
Gus in La Hi, Gus, best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
Good more than mister Patrick. I hope you're in the
boys had a great break. Larry David says, I'm only
allowed to have three days to wish you happy New Year,
so I just wish you boys have a great year.
What a tale of two weeks. If this phone call
took place a week ago.
Speaker 12 (14:04):
I was calling in the scorch earth and say everybody's
got to go, Tomlin's got to go, everybody and coaching
Steff's gotta go there bye. And then this morning I'm like,
you know, I mean he can hang around for a.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
Few more weeks. You know, we'll see what happened. Yeah,
But I mean, truly, I like I don't. I don't
know anymore.
Speaker 12 (14:23):
Like it's it's I don't know which Steeler team's gonna
show up. I mean, this team's been blown out this year,
they've shown up this year. I don't get it. It
is the most unpredictable year and steal at football. I mean,
I'm gonna ride it out until the wheels fall off.
Speaker 9 (14:37):
But I don't know. I think this may be Tom
was last year. You know, we want to game the rap.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
We have problems with the phones today. It feels like
it that does Chris and Buddha. That might be just
those guys, and those guys are in California.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, maybe cha.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
All right, thank you get some of your best people
on that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, it's nice to say, hey, we're gonna roll with
Tomlin and the Steelers until well, they lose this next
game where they're an underdog at home against the Texans.
That's not gonna go over a while, all right. Albert Breer,
Monday Morning Quarterback, will join us. Get his thoughts on
what the Browns did firing Kevin Stefanski, the Falcons moving
(15:17):
on from a coach and general manager, and who's next.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
More of your phone calls coming up, we will give
you our best and worst of the weekend and a
movie review of Marty Supreme with Timothy shallow May. You know,
I'm watching the movie and all of a sudden, I go,
that's George Gervin. So Ice Gervin is in the movie.
I think Tracy McGrady might be in the movie.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
It was like one of the Globe trotters.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah you're watching you, You're going, that's George Gervin. And
I know Timothy Shallow May is a big NBA fan
I don't know if he said to the Saftie brothers, Hey,
let's put in George Gervin.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I saw an interview while we were on break because
I don't know if you've caught this, but he's been
doing interview with Timothy Shallo May.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
But they I forget who's talk about.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
I forget exactly what the question was, but it was
basically along the lines of, like, what's the best part
of like your life right now? Are being famous or whatever?
And he's like, oh, access to the Knicks. Greatest thing
that's ever happened to me is access to I get
Nick tickets whenever I want, I could sit, when I
can talk to whoever I wanted. Access to the Knicks
is by far the best thing that's happened to me.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But imagine you're a kid growing up in New York City.
You're a diehard Knicks fan. Next thing you know, your
front row Timothy Chela May twenty minutes from now will
give you our movie review.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, Tom Kemba Walker was with TMAC playing Harlem Glovester.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Okay, Oh, that's fun little cameo action there. Albert Brier,
the Monday Morning Quarterback Senior NFL reporter, We got hat
Kevin Stefanski fired an hour ago?
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Why was he fired?
Speaker 14 (17:38):
You know, I think it's just like a water under
the bridge type thing. Dan, They've been through a lot
together over the last six years. And yeah, this goes back,
of course to Deshaun Watson tray. They've done a lot
of good things there. They made the playoffs in twenty
they made the playoffs in twenty three, you know, and
they had a really good roster he and he and
(17:58):
Andrew Berry that they they inherited. Some of those guys
that they inherited are still there, Miles Garrett, Denzel Ward,
Joel Atonio.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Wyatt tell like top shelf guys, you know.
Speaker 14 (18:09):
And you know, I just think like the inability to
to to really to take the next step was part
of it, right, and how that all tied to a
single move. I mean, you think about the damage done
by the Deshaun Watson trade, right. It kicks your kicks out,
your ability to draft because you lose three first round picks,
(18:29):
It kills your salary cap, and it keeps you from
doing anything else, at least for a short period of
time to fix the quarterback position. And so I think
there's an acknowledgment in the building that everybody had their
hands tied behind their backs because of the trade, and
everybody's got blood on their hands because of it. I
just think because of all that history that they had
(18:50):
had been through and that that Kevin had been through
with the players, you know, it seems to me like
Jimmy just made this decision. It's just tough to move
forward with the status quo. And so I will say this,
it's going to be tough to find a better one
than Kevin Stefanski. And I think everybody's gonna find out
over the next two or three days how much the
(19:10):
rest of the league thanks to Stefanski with the amount
of interest he's going to get from other teams.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Is there a chance Deshaun Watson's the starting quarterback for
the Browns next year?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I mean, I think it's impossible. It's impossible to know
for sure until we know who the coach is.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Right, But he's healthy and under contract.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 14 (19:27):
Like, so you've already so we already know that they're
going to pay to Shaun Watson forty six million dollars
for next year, right if they cut him somebody would
sign him for the minimum, and so it would be
forty five.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
It'd be like forty five million dollars.
Speaker 14 (19:44):
You know, So you're already sinking that into it. You've
already sunk three first round picks into him.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
You know.
Speaker 14 (19:50):
I I think the worst thing for the Browns at
this point would be feeling like all right, like you know,
we're gonna move on, and then having him go have
great success somewhere else. So I could certainly see the
logic and like saying, like, you know, we're paying them anyway,
we might as well bring him back.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Here's the one caveat to that.
Speaker 14 (20:09):
The one caveat to that for me would be if
you are going to go all in on a young quarterback, right,
and if there's somebody and I can't remember where they're
pick is, you have it in front of you, Dan,
it's I think there's four or five somewhere in there,
and right, they're not five, the Giants are five, but
there's somewhere in there six, six, Okay.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
So like let's say they decide.
Speaker 14 (20:33):
We're going to go all in them for Nato Mendoza
or Dante more and somehow they get in position to
draft one of them, then I can see where it's like, Okay,
it's just not worth it having that around, you know
what I mean, like having kind of the ghost of
quarterbacks past here in the building, you know, and you
want to go with a clean slate for your young quarterback.
But if the plan is to go and bring in
(20:55):
you know, Kirk Cousins to compete with Shador Sanders and
Dylan Gabriel and next year, if it's something like that,
then I don't I'm not sure I see the harm
in taking one more swing at it with Deshaun Watson
just to make sure you got that wrong.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Even as every indication is that you have gotten wrong.
Speaker 14 (21:12):
And my understanding is just in the in the in
the in the near term, like he's actually been pretty good,
you know, in the.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Building and and and and and and.
Speaker 14 (21:21):
Throw his rehab over the course of this season, So
that would be the logic and taking a swing at it,
and that you've already sunk so much into it, you're
already paying him for next year, so why not give
it a run again? To me, like the one or
the one, the one, the one caveat there would be
if you've got a young quarterback that you want to
go all in on. You might want to take him
(21:42):
out of the equation just to give the new guy
a clean environment.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Better opening. Atlanta or Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
You know, it depends on what you think of Michael Pennix,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 14 (21:54):
Like I I you know, you you would think that
whoever's coming in there is going to have at least
a year, maybe two years with Pennix.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
They both have pretty solid young cores. I think, you know,
you look at Atlanta.
Speaker 14 (22:09):
A good veteran offensive line, one of the best players
in all football in any position in b John Robinson.
I don't know if Kyle Pitts will be there, but
it looks like he turned a corner. You've got some
young pieces on defense that you like that you might like,
you know, and the young pass rushers, you know, Walker
and Pierce that you drafted in the first round last year.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
But you don't have a first round pick, And.
Speaker 14 (22:32):
I think I probably maybe lean Cleveland because you get
to do your thing at quarterback, right so you get
to make your decision at quarterback. You've got that great
young draft class, and all those guys are going to
be on rookie contracts for the next few years, and
Mason Graham and Carson Swessinger and Harold Finn and the
two running backs Judkins and Samson, and.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
You have two first round picks.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You know.
Speaker 14 (22:57):
I mean, so you've got the ability to kind of
build there with the core. You have a couple of
older pieces in Warden Garrett. I might lean Cleveland, but
it's close. There's there that that's not a bear cupboard
in either place.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Albert Brier, the Monday Morning quarterback, he's senior NFL reporter.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
What should Vegas do?
Speaker 14 (23:20):
Well, I think, you know, I'd be surprised if Pete
Carroll made it the day. You know, I think Vegas
needs to figure out how they're going to be set
up going forward. You know, I think Tom Brady's got
to learn how to run a football team. And it
sounds weird coming from.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Me, you know what I mean. It's the greatest player
of all time.
Speaker 14 (23:38):
So I don't want to sound like like I don't
want to sound like an idiot saying that, but I
do think that there's parts of.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
It that you know, people who work there, so.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
There's a difference between running and all different.
Speaker 14 (23:50):
Yeah, John Elway, I get just tell you this John
Elway when he got back to Denver.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
In twenty and eleven.
Speaker 14 (23:56):
He eventually became kind of difficult to work for, But
at the beginning, like they were a very real acknowledgment
on John's part of of what he didn't know, you know,
like and he really rolled his sleeves up and learned
how to how to scout and how to evaluate and
like that. You know, that isn't as simple as like, yeah, well,
I you know, I played in the league for a
couple of decades, so I have an idea of.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
What I'm looking at.
Speaker 14 (24:17):
Of course you do, but it's not the same things
as building a team and managing a football operation, you know,
so you know it's going going forward. What's you know,
what's his role in all of that is, is he
committed to learning to run the show Because a lot
of people there refer to him as as the boss,
you know, whether you know he's there day to day
(24:38):
or not, and he's not their day to day. A
lot of people there look at him as the boss
of the football operation. So there's that piece of it.
You know, how does Alex Guerrero fit into that. There's
a bunch of people in that building who report Alex Guerrero.
How does you know John Spytech, the general manager, I
you know, I expect he'll be back, you know, what's
his role in picking the coach? And and then how
(24:58):
does the coach fit into the hosaic of all of that?
You know, I think like a huge part of the
issue this year was they kind of pieced everything together right,
like so it was like, all right, like, let's put
together an all star staff, Like we love Packgram as
the DC.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
He's going to work with Pete Carroll.
Speaker 14 (25:14):
Who, by the way, is run a completely different defensive system.
And now like let's go get Chip Kelly out of
Ohio state for six million dollars per year and let's
show our might and we can go and get these
sorts of guys.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Now it's a new day for the Raiders. Well, how
did all those pieces fit together?
Speaker 6 (25:28):
You know?
Speaker 14 (25:29):
I think that's the biggest piece of this is like,
so now with Tom Brady, you know, you know, ostensibly
like the guy who is in charge, how what does
that look like going forward?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
And how do all those pieces fit together?
Speaker 14 (25:42):
To me, that's the biggest piece of what I think
will be a coaching search coming up here. In the
next few days and weeks is like, how does the
coach fit into what you've built? Otherwise, are you reconfiguring
anything any of what you've.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Already got there?
Speaker 14 (25:57):
And there are big picture questions that the Raiders need
to answer and obviously a very very big decision coming
in April when it comes to what to.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Do with the first overall pick Tom Brady a better
broadcaster or owner broadcaster?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Now, i'd say, I mean, we'll see as ownership.
Speaker 14 (26:14):
I mean, I would say, there are there are so
many people that have been so intelligent that have been
humbled moving into ownership roles. You know, you know, I
always get that question, like how can this guy who
built this empire in business? And I know what he's
doing in football. I'm sure you have too, right, Like
I get that question. It's not the same thing.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
It's like the Mets owner. He just thinks I can
buy I buy everything right. In the NFL, you can't
buy everything right.
Speaker 14 (26:41):
And and a lot of them get humbled. I mean,
every one of them comes in and we're going to
be the Microsoft in football, you know what I mean, Like,
and we're going to reinvent everything. And that's why you
see so many of these owners like stock up on
analytics when they first, you know, get in the role.
It's like, oh, all of these idiots like are hiring
gym teachers and we're going to do it a different way. Well,
like there's an art to how this whole thing works
(27:04):
and how you put the whole thing together, and it's
not as easy. It's just saying I'm gonna throw money
at the problem and I'm going to apply the lessons
I learned in.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
My other business. This is a unique business, you know.
Speaker 14 (27:15):
So like I do think like Tom's got some some
I think he's he's he's got some He's got a
lot to learn when it comes to to being in
that role top you know, an organization, and you know
Mark Davis has empowered him to be a big voice
in that organization. He's gotta he's got to find his voice.
I actually think he's gotten really good at broadcasting too. Dan,
(27:37):
Like I I was skeptical at first, Like I thought
is as great as he is, Like you know, he
I think at the beginning was like a little and
I'm not you know, I guess we you know, if
you I don't know, if you want the media conversation here.
But he's a little he could be a little stiff
that first year, and I think he's really kind of
found his way with that, you know, like I think
he's gotten really really good at calling games.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I don't even notice it anymore, Like I don't really
care who's doing a game, you know, I used to,
you know, where it was mad and doing it. It
just feels like there's, you know, this plethora of football
that they're just a lot of voices that are there.
Now there's some that do it better than others. But
I'm not watching. I couldn't tell you what game Tom
(28:22):
did this weekend.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yeah, I mean, look, that's the thing for me too.
Speaker 14 (28:25):
It's like I'll get a better idea of the whole
thing when we get to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
I'm following so much.
Speaker 14 (28:31):
I mean, I honestly like I have a better idea
of how you know, herb Street and Collinsworth an Aikman
call a game just because they're standalone games. Like there's
just I'm paying attention to too much, like in those
one o'clock at four o'clock windows on Sunday, So it's
hard for me to really dive in.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
But what I have seen a Brady. It does seem
like he's gotten really good.
Speaker 14 (28:52):
And I I, you know, I remember hearing this a
couple of years ago that he was studying Johnny Miller
and trying to learn how to be critical, and I
thought that was really interesting. You know, So I do
think he's taking the job seriously.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, And you know, I talked to somebody who's friends
with him, and he even said, hey, would you talk to Tom?
I said, Tom doesn't need my input, and then he said, well,
what would you tell him? I would say, don't try
to be too structural, like like, this is fun, have fun,
you know, pick your spots, you know, say what you
(29:25):
need to say, give us insight, tell us things that
we don't know. We don't a lot of times I
found out that these guys who played don't know that
we don't know something, and they'll be like, oh you
know this, Oh you know what watch that.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I would never think that.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
And I think the more that Tom doesn't sound try
to sound like an analyst, the better that he'll be
like you know, Collinsworth and Herb Street, Aikman, Tony, you know,
they kind of go, you know what, I'm just going
to be myself, and that's really hard to do. They
tell people in this business, just be yourself. Yeah, I've
(30:02):
been working for forty years trying to figure out who
I am, So I can't expect Tom to be himself.
He may not know who he is as a person
in the spotlight.
Speaker 14 (30:12):
I'm with you because I remember when I started doing TV,
you know, twenty years ago. I remember somebody telling me
you want to be almost like one and a half
of yourself, and so then there's a tendency to get
out there and be mister announcer guy with everything and
try to enunciate everything correctly and all that different stuff.
And you know, I sort of like I tell younger
(30:34):
people now who ask me, I'm like, there'll be a
point when you feel like mister announcer guy, and then
there'll be a point when you're talking to a camera
and you.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Start to feel like yourself.
Speaker 14 (30:43):
And I feel like that's when you're starting to get
it right, Like when you're doing both when it's like, yeah,
I'm not talking like i'd normally be talking to my friends,
but I do sound like myself.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
In my job, part of my job is to make
you forget that you're on tea or on radio, which
you're pretty good. So we just have a conversation like that.
That's the goal each time, all right, before I let
you go other possible openings.
Speaker 14 (31:11):
Yeah, so, you know, I think the Dolphins want to
move forward with Mike McDaniel. I know, their meeting and
recapping the season here today. I don't anticipate anything today,
but in the next couple of days, you know, I
think they'll make that decision.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
And you know, they're going to have a little bit.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
Of a different structure of Brandon Shore has been elevated there.
He's you know, he's reporting directly to ownership. That's their
cap guy. So they're gonna have like sort of a
three headed monster, or they're gonna hire the new GM
will be a scouting.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Type and they'll move on from TUA in Miami.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
I think that's that's likely. Yeah, I think that's likely.
Speaker 14 (31:46):
I do think McDaniel's fate could be tied and at
least in some way to maybe what's available out there.
You know, does Stefanski is now available? Does John Harbaugh
become available? So that's something and I'm just kind of
like looking through some my notes.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Just John Harball become available, I.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
Think that's a little bit of a coin flip right now.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
You know, I think you have those discussions.
Speaker 14 (32:07):
I wouldn't move on from him if I were the Ravens,
but I would say this. I had people there tell
me that they believe this is the best roster they'd
ever had going into the season, that level of expectation
with the team. You've got a looming contract negotiation with
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
There's just a.
Speaker 14 (32:25):
Lot to sort through and digging out from underneath the
season there, And you know, I think that that provokes
those big picture questions. So I wouldn't say I'm one
hundred percent one way or the other on the Ravens.
The Cardinals, I'd expect they're going to hang on to
their general manager, Monty Ausin for it. They really like
Jonathan Gannon, their head coach. Obviously, they end the season
(32:46):
the way they've ended, which I don't think they've won
a game since September October.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
But you know, I think and they move on from
Kyler Murray as well.
Speaker 14 (32:54):
I think, well, I think with Gannon, the thing is
like I think it may come down to and Gannon's
are really loyal guy. I wonder if they ask him
to make changes on his coaching staff and that leads
to something. You know, we've seen that before, so you know,
does does does does he go down with the ship?
I think that that's a fair question. Kyler Murray's future
(33:14):
is certainly tied to all of that.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You know as well, and about real quick before I
before I have to go more likely to move on
from their team Harball and Baltimore or Tomlin in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 14 (33:28):
Right now because the Steelers are in I would say
Harbaugh in Baltimore.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
But if they lose that game at home, it's weird
they make that Ki.
Speaker 14 (33:38):
They made the thing about here's the thing about the
Steelers though, Dan.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
The Steelers have TJ.
Speaker 14 (33:44):
Watt, Cam Hayward, Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
All these guys are older players, right.
Speaker 14 (33:49):
And so a pretty pretty substantial reset is coming. That's
when that conversation happens, Right, Like, dude, does Mike Tomlin want.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
To go through a two or a three or four rebuild?
Speaker 9 (34:01):
Right?
Speaker 14 (34:01):
Do the Stealer see him as the voice they want
in there leading that rebuild? If you're tom when do
you look at it and say what I do. Do
I want to do that or do I want to
take a year in TV and then maybe go to
a situation in twenty seven that's a little bit more
ready made because their season is still going on. I
don't think they fully confronted those questions, you know, I
(34:22):
think both are you know I again like I those
are two more where I just I think, you know,
Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both a little bit up in
the air.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
But that's what you get when.
Speaker 14 (34:31):
Guys have been in those positions for as long as
John and Mike have been.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Thank you, Bud. I appreciate Albert.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
That's Albert Breer. Monday Morning quarterback Matt Ryan. It looks
like there's a chance that he is going to join
the Falcons. I believe Jay Glazer from Fox Sports is
reporting this. This has been in the works here for
a little while. Adam Schefter reporting Atlanta expected to hire
(34:58):
Matt Ryan as the new president of football operations.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Well take a break. We will give you our best.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
And worst of the weekend and a movie review of
Marty Supreme with Timothy Shallma.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to

Speaker 5 (35:23):
Best and worst of the weekend, Todd, I'll start with you.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Best.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
The Seahawks defense Saturday night in Santa Clara, allowing just
one hundred and seventy three total yards, which is the
Niners fewest in a regular season game since Kyle Shanahan
took over his head coach in twenty seventeen. Also three points,
they're fewest since they scored that a mountain Shanahan's.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Coaching debut with the Niners.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Seattle kept them to just nine first downs, none in
the first quarter, but that was pretty presive.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Worst.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
I know that QB got banged up Ty Simpsons a
little bit, but Alabama losing thirty eight to three.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yikes, Saint No Connor. Best and worst. I'm gonna go
two bests. My best from last night. Actually both of
them are from the same game. Now I think about it,
Mike Tico, I thought had a great game last night.
He did really well, and he matched that. There are
only a few times where I think that you could
say a broadcaster helped make the game better. I feel
like Mike Erico really did that.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Yes, he did.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
He and Chris were kind of trying to make that
an interesting game for three quarters and then all of
a sudden and Mike match the moment there at the
very end with do we have his call of the
field goal?
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Marvin or was that on our play.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Of the day.
Speaker 10 (36:24):
That's our play of the day. And also that was
the Pittsburgh Steelers' home call.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Oh okay, all right, and your other besters, see, oh.
Speaker 7 (36:32):
My other bester was Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers. That
was kind of awesome. I really feel like they, like
you said, they both sort of needed that win. Yeah,
maybe they both overperformed a little bit there too, but
that felt good to see.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
If Matt Ryan is going to go to the Falcons
and be their president and football operations, there's a chair
open on the NFL today on CBS. You could have
Bill Kauer and Mike Tomlin on there, Nate burleson.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Aaron Rodgers in that slot too. I mean, next year,
Marvin beston works to the weekend, all.
Speaker 10 (37:07):
Right, best of the weekend. Former Bears legend Mitch Trubisky,
who's now the Bills starting quarterback or backup quarterback twenty
two to twenty nine, two hundred and fifty nine yards,
four touchdowns. Worst of the weekend. We touched on this earlier.
The Jets just finished out their season horrendous, thirty five
to eight. Like you said, first team in NFL history
to not have an interception during the season, not even
(37:28):
like a.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
Tip over five hundred pounds, no rcis not even.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That I know receiver caused interception, all right, Paul beston worse.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
I'm gonna go back a few days. Ole miss quarterback
Trinidad chambliss Man. He was a magician and saved that
game against the Georgia Bulldogs. And the other best of
the weekend. Just last night, a really good game, the
Division III National title game. The heavyweight North Central out
of Naperville, Illinois lost. Believe or not too uw River Falls,
Wisconsin River Falls. They got further than ever the their
(37:58):
coach have been there a long time. He got them
their first ever national title.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
All right, Marty Supreme. I went to see it, Todd
went to see it. Seaton went to see it, not
at the same time. And it is a ping pong movie.
It is a sports movie, I guess. And Timothy Shallomy
is the star of that, Todd give your review.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
I thought it was compelling and kept my interest, but
I found it at times a bit too odd, as
if the producer and directors were trying too hard to
stand out among other films to hope to win awards
of some sort. That's just how I experience it, and
it's been a lot of ping pong to watch Seaton.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
I thought it was awesome, awesome, one of the most
unique movies I've ever seen, borderline brilliant. Yes, I think
it takes Timothy shallow May to a whole other level
of actor.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
There is no doubt about his ability. No doubt because
he's not a good guy in this movie. There aren't
too many good guys in this movie. But it's shot
in a way one of the Saftie brothers. Just the
way it looks is different. I thought they could have
cut out twenty minutes and I wouldn't have missed it.
But there are some pretty crazy moments, fun moments. It
(39:08):
almost felt like the Cohen Brothers. If you're you know,
fans of the Cohen Brothers, the Saffee Brothers feel like
they're the modern day incarnation of them.
Speaker 9 (39:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Seen, it feels like if you took Uncut Gems and
mashed it with Forrest Gump.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
This is the movie that would come out all.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Right, like it never from the moment like in Uncut Gems.
It's constant tension. It never takes its foot off the gas.
From the beginning scene to the very end, there's never
any moments that are down or not full of tension.
And somehow this dude lives a life that you're like,
what the heck?
Speaker 5 (39:44):
And it's based on a true story.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Loosely based on a true story, but it is every
bit of two and a half hours. But you know
it'll keep your attention. There are times where you go,
I don't know what that scene had to do with anything,
but I thought, you know, he'll be nominated for an
Academy Award.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
I don't think there's any question about that.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
And maybe he's gonna single handedly bring ping pong back, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (40:10):
Like Rounders with poker?
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Maybe is this the greatest ping king pen?
Speaker 9 (40:14):
Right?
Speaker 5 (40:14):
You know bowling?
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Can you guys say this is the greatest ping pong
movie of all time?
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Forrest Gump does play ping pong.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
I found five other ping pong movies, Balls of Fury,
Ping Pong, Summer, Top Spin, and King of Ping Pong,
and as one, I found seven different ping pong related movies.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I would like to see Forrest Gump against Timothy Schalome
Marty Supreme, because I would take Forrest Gump, but the
actual the guy that he competes with, Japanese player is actually,
I believe, a world class ping pong player in real life.
So I would say that the collective here says thumbs
up for Marty Supreme. It was very good, very good.
(40:56):
I thought he was great. I thought the movie was good.
I don't know if there'll be a sequel. Marty's Supremer
Final Hour. On the way Steve Young will stop by
the great college football analyst Gary Danielson and more phone
calls best and worst of the weekend Final Hour.
Speaker 5 (41:14):
