Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. Our two in this Meet Friday morale is
found out.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
We're having onions today. Now we're having grilled rib eyes
and loaded baked potatoes, but they're also throwing in French
onion soup onion rings and bloomin onions as well, and
caramelized onions as well. Who is it better than we do?
No no money? The Minister of humor, the whiny Todd

(00:32):
Fritz is here. We also have Dylan in for seating,
Marv Paul Ears Truly and the Brgs. By the way,
Ray's of Birthday Today, Picture Day Ray Pa Ray, producer
of the Gambling Podcast. I think he turned seventeen today.
I think so. Mentally, you know, it's one of those

(00:56):
do you want to look too old or too young
depending on the age that you actually are. Let's say
you're twenty five, but you look thirty five or you
look fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yes, Dylan, As someone who's on the opposite side of that,
I would take looking younger for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yes, you are the oldest twenty nine year old. I
get forty seven. A lot you could pass for somebody
who was in their late thirties.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
And I would happily trade you to look seventeen.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, if I'm twenty five and I looked fifteen, or
I'm twenty five and I look thirty five. Okay, Now
this happened to John Hamm, the great actor Madmen, early
in his career. He looked older and even though he
was twenty five, but he looked thirty five, and he

(01:48):
said that he lost roles because he looked too old. Boohoo.
Like Ralph Macio Karate Kid, it felt like it still
feels like he's around, you know, twenty one years of age.
If you see him, he has an age too much.
I guess. I guess I would always want to look
younger because I know eventually that's gonna play to my

(02:12):
strengths when I'm fifty and I look you know, canu
reefs classic example, when he came in, I think he
was fifty years of age at the time he came in,
he looked like he was thirty five, right he was
came in and he looked like a million bucks. I'd
take that. Not a bad trade off that you look

(02:33):
a little bit younger, Yes.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
But then there's an actor like Paul Jamatti, who aged
thirty probably looked fifty. Maybe I wonder if that got
him like or upstanding roles or something like that. Could
it work to your advantage anyway?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I never know how old. I don't know how old
he is, and if I watch a movie, I don't
think how old is Paul Giamatti. But he does sort
of play older characters. He's probably close to sixty years
of age, but it feels like he's been kind of
close to that look for a long time. Yes, Ton,
but if.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
You're twenty five thirty and you look fifteen twenty years older,
that's got to be tough at the bar or he's
trying to pick somebody up and they think you're you're
their dad.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
Or something like that. No, I'm like two years old
in there.

Speaker 7 (03:17):
Let's go out.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
That will be a problem.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Wilford Brimley, if you remember him from Cocun, Wilford Brimley
for Quaker Roots, he was how old was when he
did that movie? Was he was? He fifty?

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Cocun was a big time movie in the early nineties
late eighties. It's about old people and stuff like this,
and Wilfred Brimley is one of the stars.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
He had a big white mustache.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
And he looked like an older man. He was forty
nine years old when they shot.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
He looked like he's seventy easily. And then in the
movie The Firm Wilford Brimley, right, you indeed Chasing Tom Cruise,
and then that movie he probably fifty five years of age,
probably looked seventy five.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
There gona start eating those quacker oats a lot.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Sooner, thank you, Tod. All Right, first hour we accomplished
nothing zero. So if you're just joining us, you didn't
miss anything in the first hour other than my disdain
for mayonnaise and fritzy is a whiner.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yes, Dylan, I actually have a confession, Dan, Okay, there
are no onions. We got rid of all the onions
in the building.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Oh so this was content that the backroom guys. Wow, okay,
all right, you had me. You did see him.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Your initial reaction was true.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Ire, Yeah, well, Paul, he said it's National Onion Day,
showed me a hot dog with onions on it, and
I said no. And then you guys doubled down with
the bit I guess and said we had bloomin onion's
French onion soup, onion rings and caramelized onions. And I said,
all right, you know this is about us. It's a

(05:03):
meat Friday for all of us.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yes, yes, have you had a bloomin onion?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I have tried, and I tried, no good, no French
onion soup. I like like, I like the smell of onions.
I don't like the crunch of onions.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
That is a top tier smell is onion sauteg.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, it's great, great caramelized onions. As long as you
kill them, like as long as there's you know, limp
like Todd, then you know, I can kind of get
through it. If it's on a Hamburger.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Told you that in private.

So that's in my wheelhouse.

Speaker 2 (13:58):

sponsor sank T thank you. Uh Dylan, what is the
poll question for hour two? Man, this show got away

(14:20):
from me early.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Well, Dan, we got some options. So actually, there was
a topic in the news related to the Simpsons.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Oh, the Marge Simpson got murdered.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah, there's a bit of a Simpsons conspiracy going on.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
But she didn't get murdered.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
No, it turns out she didn't. But people were pretty
up in arms thinking that they killed her off after
thirty six years or whatever.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Okay, but what led them to believe that was there
an episode that something happened to Marge.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
It was like a look into the future and she
was in heaven or something.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
And then okay, well, let me go to Marge Simpson
and ask her about that episode.

Speaker 6 (14:58):
It was supposed to be all in good fun.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Now everybody get all excited and well, I'm not killed.

Speaker 6 (15:02):
I'm not dead.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Everybody relaxed dead all right, yes, thank you, Marge? And
so was there a poll question with that deal.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
There is actually have you ever been hit hard by
a fictional character's death? Yes? Or Now? There's a lot
of options there, animated and live action.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Okay, we're gonna have to hold off on that. That's
kind of a heavy one. Yeah, I have to do
some research there. You got some other options then for yeah,
give me a couple and then we'll take a break.
Because mariy Povic, you are not the father well John
is coming up.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
If you're a top draft prospect, would you tell any
teams not to select you? M Yes or now?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Okay, Mike, depend on the sport. I don't know if
it happens very often in the NFL, because you don't
want that to get out. But I mean it has happened.
I don't know. I don't know how many times it's
happened where we never heard about it.

Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yes, I can't see you telling any teams not to
select you.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
I think you'd be so excited for anybody, and you
don't seem to have that personality. Came from a background
of thin balogney and like basically nothing in your house,
and now a team.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Wants you to think no, no, I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
All right, I'm saying for you the pole question answer.
I can't imagine saying yeah. There'd be certain teams you'd say,
don't even look in my direction. I'm not going there.

speaking for me.

I'm the producer of the Pauli and Tony Fusco Show.

the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen

how we started with this, Cal Rawley, the Big Dumper
maybe and we started thinking about nicknames. And you can't
name yourself. You can't give yourself a nickname. Yeah, Dale Earnhardt,
known as the Intimidator. I don't think he called himself that.

(17:53):
Primetime called himself Primetime. Kobe called himself the Black Mamba,
Ali called himself the greatest. How about little Ball of
Hate for Pat Verbeek that was a suggestion. That's pretty good,
the little How about Kenny the Rat Linzman played for
the pha Philadelphia Flyers. I think he resembled a rat,

(18:17):

nickname Nikolai Habibullin the Bulin wall.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
I know the first time I did a highlight with

Got the highlight sheet and I said, Nicolai Cabibulin spelled

all these hockey people, it's Hobby Bullin.

Speaker 10 (19:21):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
I went, okay, Nicolai Cabibulin. Richard and Tucson. Hi Richard,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 12 (19:31):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (19:31):
Dan?

Speaker 14 (19:32):
Got a nickname for Todd okay, It could either be
Buddha or in honor of his number two placement in
his class, the sharp Buddha.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Okay, thank you?

Speaker 7 (19:47):
Richard.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Bob in Montana, Hi Bob, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 7 (19:52):
Oh? Hey DP? Two quick things Fritzy was talking about
Greg Odin yesterday. Is Dylan to Greg Oden of the
DP show being a fella and looking a wee bit older.
And then second, the guy that gave Magic Johnson his
nickname Magic. His name is Fred Staveley. He was a
sports and information director in the central Michigan area back

(20:12):
in the seventies. He saw Magic playing in high school
gave him that nickname. But more importantly, he was my
next door neighbor when I was growing up. So how
about that he had a whole room just dedicated to
magic and despreading the seventy nine Spartans.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
So well, thank you. Bob probably loved seeing his nickname
that he gave Magic in print. Put those articles up
and say, hey, come on in just look at where
it says magic, because I'm the one that is responsible
for them. All right, more phone calls coming up. He
is the former talk show host and he's got a
new podcast on par with Maury Povich. So you can

(20:47):
check that on it YouTube everywhere you listen to podcasts.
New episodes dropping every Monday. As Maury Povich goes back
to his journalistic roots in depth conversations with the most
influential voices, legendary athletes, groundbreaking journalists, cultural icons, and more.
As we bring in Morey Povich. What do you learn

(21:07):
from somebody when you play a round of golf with them?

Speaker 12 (21:12):
Well, I'll tell you. I think you'll learn everything. I
think someone's entire personality comes out on the golf course.
The good, the bad, the ugly, it is all there.
And I think you can judge for yourself whether you
want to play with this guy.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Again, I agree with you. I think if I was
interviewing somebody for a job, going out and playing golf,
I find out how competitive you are, how honest you are,
are you a storyteller? Are you courteous to others? And
those are all things that you have to have to
work in, you know, a working environment.

Speaker 12 (21:55):
Yeah, I think, boy, you can tell so much. Every
you know, every demon that you have comes out, and
every pleasure that you can enjoy comes out. I mean,
that's why I love it so much. Why Also, by
the way, the other reason why I love it is
and I don't know if you know the story. Dan,

(22:17):
my father, of course, was the long time seventy five
years sports columnist writer for The Washington Post. He was
a fourteen year old ken in Bar Harbor, Maine. That's
where he grew up and it was a caddie and
he was thrown in with this guy when he was
like fifteen years old. And the guy said, after my

(22:39):
father caddied for him, you're the best caddie. Will my
carriage will pick you up every day at Keebow Valley
Golf Club. And after three years he goes to my
grandmother says to my grandmother, I want to take your
son with me to Washington, d C. I own my
own golf course at my house, and I'll also give
you a give him a job. And my grandmother reluctantly

(23:03):
said yes. My father showed up. The first person he
caddied for was President Warren G. Harding, and the guy
gave him a job. The guy owned the Washington Post.
That was a seventy five year experience for my father.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
And your dad was a legendary columnist. Here is one
of the great journalists of his time. And I'm curious
when he sees his son during the you know, doing
the Morey Covid show does what does dad think about
what his son is doing.

Speaker 12 (23:36):
Well, I'll tell you the first national show that he
had to deal with was a current affair, this kind
of tabloid crazy show that I did. And he said
to me, well, Son, just don't worry about it. And
I said, well, Tom Shales, the Pulitzer Prize winning television
critic at The Washington Post, wrote this terrible story about me.

Speaker 10 (23:58):
Dad.

Speaker 12 (23:59):
He used every word in the world, smarmy, sordid, everything
in the world. Please don't show this mom today. Don't
even look at it. He says, well Son, you know,
don't worry about Just go about your business. It's fine,
it's all right. I said, yeah, but Dad, he says,
you know I helped to hire Tom Shales at the

(24:20):
Washington Post. I said, yeah, that, but I'm your son.
He says, yeah, but good writers are hard to find.
That was my father.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Did you ever get injured on the Mariy Povich Show?

Speaker 12 (24:34):
No? No, never, never. I mean, you know, it's interesting.
Everybody kind of compares my show with Jerry Springer show.
And Jerry and I were great friends, and Jerry always
made the distinction. I give him full credit. He said,
Mari here's the difference. You're the real thing and my
show is wrestling. And that's how. And that's how. By

(24:57):
the way, I got a story to tell you Dan
about you many years ago. Connie Chong. As you know,
my wife and I were at the Tahoe Celebrity Tournament
and we're out there one time and this is after you,
this is when you were on Sports Center, and she
we loved watching you on Sports Center. I don't know
who you were with at the time, Steiner or somebody
who I can't remember, but we just were enthralled with you.

(25:20):
And so we're at the tournament and I said to
Connie at the cocktail hour, I said, there's Dan. So
she goes over and starts talking and starts telling Dan
how great you are on Sports Center and how funny
you are and how great you are. And I walk
up behind her and I said, Connie, that's Dan Hicks.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
It's not Dan Patrick.

Speaker 12 (25:42):
And she says, oh my gosh, I said that's Dan Hicks.
And then she turns to me and she says, well,
you know, all these white sports guys look alike.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Fair enough, but I'll take those compliments even if they
went through Dan Hicks. Okay, I do remember seeing you
and Connie at Tahoe, yes, oh yeah, But I've had
people think that I was Stuart Scott, which, yeah, trying

(26:13):
to let that one sink in.

Speaker 12 (26:15):
Yeah. Well, everybody always mistook me for Springer all the
time on the street. I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Was there ever an episode where you had a hard
time doing it or being convinced to do it?

Speaker 12 (26:30):
Well, there was. There was a couple of episodes the
same theme that that just were astounding that this woman
was accusing this guy of being the father of her twins.
And I, of course, the best thing I ever did
was I never knew the results of anything. I wanted
to be like my guests, my audience. I want to

(26:52):
be as a surprise as anybody. That's why the inflection
you are the father, you are not the father. I
open up this envelope and this guy is the father
of one twin, but not the other. And so I
turn around to the stamp.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
I went, what is this?

Speaker 12 (27:10):
And then I find out that with fraternal twins and
you're a very active young lady, you can have two fathers.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
He's Maury Povich. He has a new podcast called On
par with Maury Povich. New episode drump every Monday. It's
available on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast. Who
do you want to interview? Give me your wish list?

Speaker 12 (27:34):
What I really like to interview is And by the way,
an old golf buddy of mine is the forty third
President of the United States, George W. Bush, who I
really kind of admire in the way he's conducted himself
after his presidency, and he doesn't give many interviews. I

(27:55):
would love to interview him. I would also like to
interview Shack and Charles, because you know, do they like
each other. Don't they like they play this game. I'd
love to have them on both. Shack as Shaq was
always a great fan of The Mary Show because he
said that he and his buddies used to bet on

(28:17):
whether the guy was the father.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Did you ever feel sorry for a guest, like in
a situation like that where you're revealing information.

Speaker 12 (28:28):
Well, I felt sorry for the woman, the women who
used to come on multiple times and the audience would
boo them, and I was, I was, you know, and
I was. I always felt that they had a certain
amount of courage and bravery for keep coming on to

(28:48):
find out who the father of their child was. And
so I felt sorry for them every single time it
didn't turn out to be the father.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Because these are life altering moment.

Speaker 12 (29:00):
Absolutely absolutely, and you know, and I used to get
criticized all the time in the media that I was
exploiting this theme and everything. And I always said, you know,
if I can get two parents into child's life, they
have those kids have a better chance. It's just for real,
And so that's how I hang my hat.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Could you do your show today the same way you
did it given today's guidelines parameters, Yeah.

Speaker 12 (29:25):
I think so could I could, but I think the
show ended at the proper time. And by the way,
it hasn't ended the repeats. I mean, you know about repeats.
I mean the repeats are getting as good ratings as
the originals, and so I mean, it's just it's a
gift that keeps on giving.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Give me your favorite interview so far that you've had
on your podcast.

Speaker 12 (29:47):
Well, it's interesting. I've had so many different ones. I'll
tell you one I really like. You know who Jeff
Perlman is the sportswriter, the guy who wrote Winning Time.
I thought he was fascinating. I think he had he
had a lot of good things to say. I'm Barbara
Corkoran from Shark Tank. Yeah, she's as feisty as they come,

(30:08):
and they're great. And then this week is a dear
friend of mine, Lewis Black, the great comedian, and Louis
is a friend of mine. Lewis we knew Lewis a
little bit. And then my wife gave me a surprise
seventieth birthday party many years ago and hires, unbeknownst to me,

(30:32):
Lewis to do the entertainment at my apartment in New York.
Black comes on. The first thing he says is how
far have I fallen? Broadway and Carnegie Hall and Povich's
birthday party?

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Well, good luck with the podcast. It's great to thank
and give my best to Connie. Tell her that Dan
Hicks says, hello.

Speaker 12 (30:57):
I sure will nice to talk to you.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Dan, my bud, Maury Povich, you are not the father.
It's a podcast called on par with Maury Povich. I
remember seeing Connie and Maury Povich in Tahoe when we
were out there for the golf tournament, and I remember
that she kept staring at me, and it was weird

(31:20):
because I was like, that's Connie Chung. And then now
I realized that she knew me from Sports Center, but
she mixed me up with Dan Hicks from NBC Sports.
That's fine, you know who cares a good story not
an insult might meet a Hannah storm, Dan Hicks's wife

(31:40):
who's like, well, don't replace have a body switch here.
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America.
And we're headed back to Tahoe. We'll be out there
for a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and we'll do shows there
with the American Century. We're not sure about an audio there.
We're on from six until nine in the morning, but

(32:03):
we're trying to find out if we can have a
studio audience. We'll let you know, but I will tell
you this, if you do come out dress warm in
the morning. I was told it was twenty five degrees
last week in Tahoe in the morning. It was cold
in Vegas when we were at the Fountain Blue. Nothing

(32:26):
compares to when we were in Dallas for the Super
Bowl when they had that ice storm, and that could
have been you guys could have probably sued me for
you know, inhumane treatment, because I had We were there
and we had a roof over our head, but we
didn't pack for I mean, you don't go to Dallas
in February thinking it's going to be an ice storm

(32:48):
and freezing, freezing temperatures you couldn't drive any place trying
to get guests to walk over on the ice. But
we somehow made it work. But looking back on that,
we had to go get I think we went to
like RII and just loaded up on winter coats. We
had to have heaters blowing heat in there because we
didn't think we would need that. Remember we had the

(33:10):
Bowl mechanical Bowl. Oh yeah, Chrinzy was up on the
Mechanical Bowl hernia at the time. Yeah, we had a
basketball hoop there. We re enacted the leon Lett fumble.
Since we were in Dallas. Michael Strahan came by nearly
put Paul over a railing. Everything else was just a blur.
That's one of those where you go, I just I

(33:30):
got I'm to do my best to get through this week. Yeah, Poling.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
I remember waking up. It was the Tuesday of Super
Bowl week in Dallas, and I woke up in the weather.
It was like sleet going sideways outside our hotel room
and I checked the weather and it was eleven degrees sideways.
It was eleven eleven, And I was like, how do
we do a show that's almost like college game? It's
encapsulated only on the top in the back, but we
were open air. Oh Man Wild you opened that show

(33:58):
with well to the Winter ex Games.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
We have two Super Bowls coming up where it's going
to be six am in the morning at San Francisco
in LA and that it ends in Atlanta. All right,
Well take a break. Some phone calls coming up. Also
the Justin Tucker situation. Will discuss that as well.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
After this, be sure to catch the live edition of
The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six
am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Some of the items this weekend, Dodgers at the Royals.
Otani is set to start for the Dodgers. At what
point does he get past two winnings? And it may
not be two winnings, but how many pitches do you
have him throw? The mystics against the wings? So that's
Paige Becker's in action. US Open Dart Masters that'llbeit Madison

(34:54):
Square Garden, Luke Littler, Luke Humphreys and Michael van Goehn
will all be in action. In case you're wondering, Dylan
bad Larry and Shayan Irving set to attend. Yes, yeah, Yes,
thank you to the Rocket Mortgage Classic outside of Detroit
and in their UFC this weekend deal.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yeah, Charles Olavera and Iliet Tapouria a headlining in the
cart and Jake Paul is.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Boxing against Julio Saysarchabez. Junior's Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
He's a Paul's like a minus six hundred favorite, so
another super duper real out.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Wake me up when he gets knocked down? Yeah, I agree, Yeah,
wake me up. Hey, great businessman. I'm just not interested
in his fights. The NHL Draft tonight in Los Angeles.
By the way, the football situation here with Justin Tucker
accused of sexual misconduct by sixteen massage therapists and these

(35:57):
are from eight high end SPA wellness centers in the
Baltimore area. All of the alleged misconduct reportedly occurred between
twenty twelve and twenty sixteen, So that's his first five
years in the NFL. The Ravens released Tucker, who had
three years left on his contract. They released him on
May fifth, So the most accurate kicker in league history

(36:22):
was kick to the curt. He has been suspended for
ten weeks by the NFL. His agent, Justin Tucker's agent,
Rob Roach, said we are disappointed with the NFL's decision.
Justin has always strived to carry himself in a way
that would make his family and community proud. He stands

(36:44):
by his previous statements in order to put this difficult
episode behind him and get back on the field as
soon as possible. We have advised Justin to accept this
resolution and close this matter. It doesn't close this matter.
He's still going to be viewed as guilty of something here,

(37:08):
and if probably more so. Now you're going, why would
you accept this? If you said, hey, I have done
nothing wrong, Why would you allow this?

Speaker 10 (37:19):
Now?

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I'm sure there's legal reasons, you know, far above my
pay grade. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, calling the
allegations unequivocally false, and describing the Baltimore newspaper The Banner's
article as desperate tabloid fodder. Why not keep fighting? You're

(37:44):
not employed by a team now. Mike Florio, who's a lawyer,
a pro football talk co host, he said that you
take the ten weeks so it doesn't cost you, maybe
ten more weeks if you're going to fight this, If
I don't care about playing football again, if I'm Justin
Tucker If I clear my name, that's the most important thing.

(38:08):
You've made a great living. You would go to the
Hall of Fame. You may still go to the Hall
of Fame. You're not supposed to factor in off the
field stone, but I'm sure voters will. But another butt.
I got to clear my name. I couldn't care less
about kicking another football, but I do want to get
I have to shed this. And if you don't fight this,

(38:30):
it doesn't close anything other than all right, you got
suspended for ten weeks. If he hasn't apologized to anybody,
are there going to be civil suits in here? I'm
guessing probably why I hadn't apologized. But after ten weeks,
I don't think America football America is going to go Okay.

(38:52):
He served his punishment for something he said he didn't do. Oh,
I'm never going to think of him that way again.
I can't imagine he plays football again. After ten weeks.
A team's gonna go, We're gonna bring him in. Can
you can you imagine he didn't do well this year
because he must have known that. I mean, he had

(39:13):
a terrible year. And everybody's like, what is up with
Justin Tucker? And it might have been that he realized
that this was, you know, surfacing. This can go away. Hey,
you were gone for ten weeks, Okay, welcome back. Now.
If he was kicking the way he once did, if
this is five years ago, then you probably have teams

(39:36):
going now. Everybody deserve I always love when they go.
Everybody deserves a second chance. Okay, Yes, Pauline.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
And this is classic NFL. Right before training camp, they
pushed this problem down till November. He won't be in
camp with anybody. The story won't be hanging, it will
not be he won't be on the field to be
covered for the first ten weeks. They the NFL is
great at kicking the can with these type of punishment.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
It just doesn't go away. I mean it wouldn't go
away from me as a member of the media because
let's say after ten weeks then somebody picks him up
and he was on the show. Do they think that
nobody's going to ask about this? And we have invited
justin on Paul He's reached out numerous or Fritzie's reached
out numerous times to hear his side. But there's sixteen

(40:26):
therapists massage therapist, not one or two or three. I mean,
it's not to the extent of Deshaun Watson, but I
just can't. I mean, it's in the neighborhood, like you
get to a certain number and you go, okay, it
doesn't matter if it's sixteen or twenty four. It's terrible.
But after ten weeks, I just can't imagine members of

(40:49):
the media or in any city where he's picked up
going We would appreciate if you keep this on to
football questions. No no, no, no, that doesn't work that way,
or if the coach gets in front or the GM
gets in front of the media, or the owner doesn't
go away. Let us take our punishment. We're not guilty.
Let's take our punishment. The last thing you should be

(41:13):
worried about is getting back on a football field. Cal Rawley,
the big Dumper, will join us coming up.
