Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Monday, it's been festive.
Your phone calls welcome any day, but on Monday, best
and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
If you're watching on Peacock, download the app if you'd
like to watch the program and see the best man
Cave in America. I'm actually running out of room in
the man Cave, and I never thought that that would
be possible. I don't know if I have room to
be hanging up things. It's almost like there's going to
be relegation in the man Cave.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Are we moving?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
No, no, we're not moving, But it looks like we're
going to have relegation at some point. Gonna have to
take down some things that I don't know. Some tough
decisions need to be made in here. Yes, I do
notice more.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
And more that Todd and I seem to be getting
swallowed up much like you are, where you've just sort
of blend into the desk a little bit. I know,
especially Todd. Barely see that fella right now, are you like,
is he a bobblehead to or.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What does that do?
Speaker 6 (01:04):
A lot of stuff?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, I'm going to be adding stuff too. I will,
so just to let you know that if I really
wanted to cover up Todd, there's one way to cover
up Todd that I don't like, all right, the cone
of silence, right, it's a velvet curtain. Lovely, yes, but
I wouldn't do that to Todd because I know he
(01:27):
gets a little nervous when he's gonna suffocate you.
Speaker 7 (01:30):
Okay, it's again stuck in like a little elevator or
something like that, and I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show NBA
on NBC and Peacock Every Tuesday in primetime Coast to
Coast Tuesday, you can see the Spurs taking on the Thunder.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Do they play every week? It feels like they're.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Playing every week, the Blazers taking on the Warriors. And
it starts at eight Eastern on NBC and Peacock. Pole
question for the final hour of the program, Seaton is
what well we got up there right now? Who would
be a better coach for the Packers? Matt Lafleur or
John Harbaugh?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
One of guess one, I guess eight John Harbaugh no, any.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Other guesses, Paul, fifty nine percent harpball.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
You're closer fifty to fifty is a better effect if
I was going into the decimal points, it's actually fifty
point five.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Matt Lafleur. I feel like that is unbelievably harsh to him,
but that's just yeah, I know, I'm surprised. Not the
Dewey decimal right, not that system though, not the day
of a system either.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, the Dewey decimals. Do you know about the Dewey
decimal system time.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Not a whole lot. I've heard of it, but I
couldn't really draw a picture the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, you go to the library, don't you. Is that
where the Dewey decimal system catalog?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I got Super Bowl odds DraftKings just sent these to me.
Seahawks and then the Rams, And then you have four
AFC teams. You have the Patriots, Bills, Broncos, Texans, Bears, Niners, Steelers.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Texans are getting three a giving three tonight, the Niners
are getting seven in Seattle. The Bills are favored by
one and a half against the Broncos in Denver, and
the Rams are giving three and a half with the Bears.
Also the National title game a week from tonight. Miami
is getting seven and a half against Indiana.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The over under forty eight and a half.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Also DraftKings sent over the NFL first overall pick odds.
It is Fernando Mendoza by a Landslaide minus twelve hundred,
Dante Moore plus nine hundred, Trinidad Shambliss plus twenty two hundred.
He's still trying to go back to Old Miss for
a sixth year of eligible ability. I think Dante Moore
(04:04):
by all accounts, after that game against Indiana should probably
reconsider and maybe go back to Oregon. He might still
be the second best quarterback in this draft, and somebody
will probably draft him higher than they probably should. But
Fernando Mendoza, when you have more touchdown passes than in completions,
(04:25):
that was pretty pretty impressive, showing, yes, Todd.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So we got to get to a.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Point where as long as you're under thirty years of age,
you can keep playing college football.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Basically, Well, I think Diego Pavilla wants to come back
to Vanderbilt. Now can you go back and then be
but they take away your eligibility. I mean, that's really
what it's all about. To prevent somebody from going back
for ten years, Tibo never would have left able to
have played a decade at least right now, you still
go back, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
So the update Trinidan Chambliss.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
A day after they lose in the playoffs, the NSA
said they refuses appeal and so he can't go back
to college. He hired a big time Mississippi lawyer. This
lawyer is also the founder and general counsel for the
Grove Collective, so he's got an incentive to win this
case and he's going to sue the NCAA for an injunction.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I got Super Bowl MVP odds. Matthew Stafford is your favorite?
Then Sam Darnold, then Josh Allen, Drake, may Bo Nicks,
Phuka Nakua, Jackson Smith, Nojigba, c J Stroud, Caleb Williams,
and Rock Purty. But Matthew Stafford and Sam Darnold right
now with the best odds to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
MVP, Nick and Irvine. Hi, Nick, welcome back. What do
you have for me?
Speaker 9 (05:36):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Thanks?
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Dan, love to start the week with you guys. Thanks
for being there. I have a few bests only.
Speaker 10 (05:41):
My first best definitely is football from Thursday all the
way to the NFL's version of Celtics versus Clippers. Every
game was fantastic. It was compelling. If for a guy
who thinks, you know, seventies, NFL football was the best watching,
it was entertaining. My second best of the weekend was,
for the tenth consecutive week I watched Game seven of
(06:05):
the World Series Dodgers beating Toronto, and I did it
on a golf course in seventy two degree weather.
Speaker 9 (06:10):
Suck at Toronto. And my third best at the weekend,
surprisingly is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Lindsay Vaughn winning.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
Her eighty fourth World Cup race in Sokniasi, Switzerland. I guess,
and I mean our Austria. She is incredible.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
She's the sexiest thing on two skis and I just
want to say, I know this is a little off
the mark, but my dream would be to ski down
the hill with Lindsay Vaughn and then to have Ronda
Rousey just beat the crap out of me at the
bottom of the hill and then the three of us
go into a jacuzzi.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Alrighty he's up there, Nick, Yeah, who hasn't had that done.
It feels like, you know, it's a letter. Remember Penthouse Forum,
They would write these like I actually met somebody who
was a writer, somebody who wrote those, but then they
gave fictitious names. Now I never thought that I would
be writing Penhouse for him.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Spoiler alert.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, now I met somebody who wrote letters, so called
letters to Penhouse for him. Dave in Cincinnati, Good morning, Dave.
What's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (07:13):
Oh? You maybe follow that anyway? Hey, I had a
hope for Jim Harbaugh to go to Cleveland and coach
Bard beloved Browns. But I think it's going to be
pretty unlikely. But I thought maybe they could offer him
the first you've heard a buyout clauses, Maybe the first
I'm out clause where they offer him a contract for
(07:37):
thirty four years and then any time he could decide
I'm out and they'd still pay him his money.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Good luck with that. Yeah, I guess he's still considering Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I don't know if anything's been made official. That he
was going to wait, and I think he had to
wait anyway, but he was going to wait because you
had teams in the playoffs that if Buffalo lost maybe
Buffalo's open.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Green Bay lost.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Green Bay might be open, although Adam Schefter, I guess
it's a report he's saying that green Bay they're kind
of leaning towards trying to work out a deal with
Matt Lafleur to keep him there. Trent in Virginia, I Trent,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (08:21):
ADP thanks for taking my call. I'll start with my
worst Bear's rookie left tackles and having a great year
Asie Tripillo. Yeah, tendon injury right at the end of
the game, might miss all next year. Really brutal for him.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
But best of the.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
Weekend is also sad of the day. Caleb Williams now
has the same number of wins against the Packers as Cutler,
Trubisky and Fields combined. So being a Bears fan, finally
having a quarterback, looks like Ben Johnson be there for
the long haul. Really excited for the future.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, it looks like they have a partnership there and
it could be for the long haul here. But you know,
it was little bit of a choppy ride there, but
that's understandable. Ben coming in trying to get Caleb to play,
probably more like Jared Goff did in Detroit. He's still
trying to do that. But you know, Caleb still makes
(09:15):
these splash plays fourth quarter, Like I worry about him
in the first three you see in the fourth quarter,
it's like, all right, let me see something here, And
I guess I'm not gonna say that's what you want,
because you would like consistency in the first three quarters.
Then you don't have to make those crazy plays in
the fourth quarter. It's like t bow time only existed
(09:38):
because t BO didn't take your business in the first
three quarters. It'd be like, here comes team boat time,
and I go, where is t BO time in the
first quarter or second quarter or third quarter?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Thank you for the phone call, Trent Henry in Nashville. Hi, Henry.
Speaker 12 (09:54):
Dan, good morning, Good morning to the boys in the back.
First time, long, long time. I'm going back to the
double days five eight, kind of one seventy one seventy
five depending on the time of day. Kind A couple
of questions comments for you here. So one, it's been
great watching the ball since Thursday, a great game hopefully.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
Coming up tonight.
Speaker 12 (10:19):
But on the college front, it's kind of changed my
viewpoint a little bit. Looking at Indiana. I heard over
the weekend that the average age of the players on
the team is something like twenty three.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
And I know we're in a new age.
Speaker 12 (10:35):
You know, right now, with nil and collectives and all
that stuff, but that still feels, you know, like Signette's
breaking barriers, but maybe he's breaking hips at the same time.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (10:47):
And then you've been talking a lot about the Titans
this morning, or you've mentioned it a couple of times.
You know, we do have the new stadium under construction,
going to be a dome, will be finished for the
twenty seventh season. One hundred and two million dollars in
cap space, Polly mentioned earlier. But the other part of
this is that watching all of these games, they are
a heck of a lot of ex Titans that are
(11:08):
on other teams right now, and they're productive. And it
comes right down too to even look at at Mike Grabel.
And so you guys talk about it a lot, all right,
So we've got one hundred and two mil. But who's
making the decisions on how to spend it? You know,
love the Titans, support them season ticket holder, but there's
a lot of conversation around Nashville right now about all right,
(11:32):
who's actually making the call on these things?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
So I agree. I said this for a long time.
You can have draft picks, you can have cap space,
but do you have a Howie Roseman who's making these calls?
And yeah, you know, chances are no you do not.
There's only one and he's done an incredible job in Philadelphia.
But trying to find those guys, you got to have
(11:55):
scouts too. You got to spend money. It's not just
I am going to spend it on coaches or gms.
You got to spend it on your your scouting staff too,
because there are certain teams who find certain players and
other teams miss those players, and you say, how did
you miss that guy? When everybody had a chance to
draft this person? There were a couple of chances, but
(12:17):
you saw something that somebody else didn't see. And having
those scouting teams is really important. You know, there's certain
baseball teams that don't spend a lot of money on
their you know, scouting department, and those are the teams
that need to because they need to find players who
are hidden Gems. Terry and Seattle, Hi, Terry, best and
(12:38):
Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 13 (12:39):
Yeah, Dan, longtime listener six to two hundred and twenty
five pounds. We're a rival, of course, of the Niners
here in Seattle. But is there when you talk about MVPs,
it's always a quarterback award? But there is anyone more
deserving this year than Christian McCaffery.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't know if there's anything I can't do well.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Puka's had a better year, Poka Nakoua or equal. I
had Christian McCaffery as the Offensive Player of the Year
when the season started. I don't think he has been great,
but I think he's been valuable. And there's a difference
in that because you can put up numbers, but like
(13:23):
what kind of numbers are you putting up? When do
you put up those numbers? Because there can be hollow
numbers that you put up. It's like, you know, I
talked about Trey Young. I don't think he's great, but
he does put up great numbers. But when do you
put up those numbers? When do they really matter? Now
he's had a couple of games where Eastern Conference Finals
or when he goes to the Garden, But for the
(13:43):
most part, you're putting up numbers, but what do they
really mean? And I think that sometimes is a challenge
to differentiate between who is great who deserves the award.
And you could give it to Pooka Nakua, I'd have
no problem with it. But McCaffrey with he's been timely,
(14:04):
it feels like when you need something like yesterday. I mean,
he's not that explosive guy, but you must account for
him every down because he is so dangerous out of
the backfield. Here is one of his touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
McCaffrey is beside Brock. You the shotgun. Here's the snap.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Perty wants to throw pretty pressure, Purty steps up, Prety.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Throws can touchdown.
Speaker 13 (14:29):
McCaffrey touchdown forty nine ers back in front.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
He's gone over six hundred catches. But I think his
you have to check this, PAULI. His passing yards and
his rushing yards might be very similar.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Per carry, per catch, no total.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Yards for his career, Like, does he have you know,
five fifty eight hundred rushing yards, yeah, six thousand receiving.
Speaker 8 (14:59):
I've got him at se seventy five and eighty nine
rushing yards as of okay, and receiving he's at three
hundred and ninety.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Okay, So he does have more rushing yards than receiving.
But lean, that's pretty crazy. He's got six hundred catches.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Maybe he's got six hundred and twenty six sketches.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, what is the record for running back? He used
to be Larry's centers.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Yeah, maybe Tomlinson, but I'd have to check Marshall Fallcad
a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But I mean you might see a back get close
to a thousand receptions in a career, yes, Pauli.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
We were talking last week about guys who when they
go to the Hall of Fame, you'll be like, he
played with who before that? His Carolina days were great,
Christian McCaffrey, but he played in one playoff game. He's
now been in seven and it will be eight playoff
games with the Niners when he goes to the Hall
of Fame someday, which thank the Carolina Panthers for trading
to the right franchise.
Speaker 9 (15:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
I got most receptions by a run back. I got
Marshall Fock at seven sixty seven, Larry Center seven to
sixty one, McCaffrey's third with six twenty six, and Tomlinson
fourth of six twenty four.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (16:16):
Stand of a day, Stanning a day Stall of a Day,
stant of to day.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
This is the Stule of the Day, brought.

Arizona State transfer quarterback Sam Levitt is committed to LSU.
This is kind of declaration week where you're going to
have schools who are going to announce that somebody is
actually staying. But Friday is the last day for that.
(17:42):
UH Nebraska transfer. Dylan Ryola has committed to Oregon.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Ow Right, that's the guy who needs a refresher for
his prayer.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yes, yes, I think we move on from the I
look like Patrick Mahomes, play like Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Let's see also on.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Three reporting that Ohio State five star true freshman wide
receiver Quincy Porter has committed to Notre Dame. That is
a big deal. That's a big deal. You're not leaving
Ohio State to go to Notre Dame. Certainly those wide receivers,
(18:25):
but they get a great wide receiver that Notre Dame. Okay,
here's the story. I'm not sure why it's a story,
but it's a big story, or at least it's being
talked about on social media. So the reporter for Jacksonville
Jaguars is named Lynn Jones. She works for the Jacksonville
(18:49):
Free Press, and following the loss by the Jags to
the Buffalo Bills, Jones, the reporter offered support and some
pots positive words to head coach Liam Cohen.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It's want taell you congratulations on your success, young man.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You hold your head up, all right, You guys have
had a most magnificent season.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He did a great job out there today. So you
just hold your head up. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, duvall
you don't want all right? You keep it going. We
got another season.
Speaker 15 (19:19):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (19:19):
I appreciate, take care and much continued success to you
and the entire team.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Thank you man.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
She's been in broadcasting broadcast journalism for over three decades.
She is the associate editor and sales team manager for
the Jacksonville Free Press. I think she's also done some
hosting and TV as well. I don't know her. I
don't think that i've met her. But here is the
point that is being made by a lot of either
(19:45):
host former players, analysts. A lot of debate with this.
Should you be saying this in a press conference. You're
a member of the media, and yes, Jacksonville just lost.
You're a home town reporter, but you're still a journalist.
Your job is to ask questions, to get answers from
(20:05):
Liam Cohen and then you put it in your article.
That's what your job is. You're not a former player
who plays for Jacksonville played for It's not like Tony Vasselli.
If he went there and said that in a press conference,
no one would have a problem with that.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But if you're a reporter.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And you're saying this, you can say it in a
way that you almost want Liam Cohen to tell you
what he accomplished this year. If you just put it
in question form, coach tough loss. Can you put it
into words? You know what you've done this year? So
now you've let him kind of tell you what you
(20:45):
are already telling him in that clip that I just
played for you. And this is this is different than
if Tony Dungeee says something about Mike Tomlin or to
Mike Tomlin, or Rodney Harrison says something about the New
England Patriots. They're former players. This is a press conference
and you're a journalist. Now, look, I don't root. I
(21:11):
don't root. I didn't like it when Stuart Scott rooted
openly rooted, or Chris Berman openly rooted.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I didn't like it.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
But hey, they had their own agenda and I'm sure
there are things that they didn't like of my approach here.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
But it shouldn't be a big deal.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I think this reporter was very compassionate and it was
a tough loss, and she said it and she's been
there in the community for over thirty years.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay, it's not what we should be doing, but it's
not the end of the world.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And now you've got people who are you know, saying, oh,
you old journalist and you guys, you know your days
are numbered and polar credit you know, you know there
we need journalism, We need people asking questions. I've admitted
I got too close to players before paid the price.
(22:04):
You know you can't do it because you you know,
I got too close to Jason Johnby and Mark maguire
and then when I had to report on them, then
all of a sudden I lost friendships.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
But that's on me. That's on me.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
So I've done this firsthand. But I'm not openly rooting
for you. I mean, Kurt Warner went to the Super
Bowl with Arizona and I did an interview with him
that season. I said, if you take them to the
Super Bowl, you're going to go to the Hall of Fame.
And that's exactly what happened. But you know what I
did after that Super Bowl. I went to Kurt Warner
(22:41):
privately and told him that was an incredible job, and
you are going to the Hall of Fame. Not at
the press conference. You could still pull him aside if
you want to talk to the coach. Hey, coach, I
just want you to know what you've meant to this community.
But this isn't hey, you know, the old school journet. Oh,
we still need people who ask questions. Not everybody has
(23:04):
to be a cheerleader, and former players are not journalists.
Don't expect them to be. You know, people would pile
on Pat mcavie. You got to ask you, Aaron Rodgers,
tough questions. Pat's an entertainer. I'm not expecting him to
ask the questions that I would ask, and vice versa.
(23:29):
It gets a paid interview, you have him, come on,
you talk, Let him talk. Okay, there's a reason why
he wanted to keep going back on those shows. At
that show, he got freedom to say what he wanted
to say. But that's Pat's show. I don't have any
problem with that.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, it's kind of ironic too, because Lynn Jones probably
did and got one of the realest things to happen
in a postgame press conference in years where like actual
human emotion and interaction and rather than the same robotic
answers that every journalist in the room is going to.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Coach, how does this what does it feel like?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Coach?
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Coach?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Looking forward to next year? Coach, what's the what's the
planned coach? Coach?
Speaker 5 (24:11):
What are you going to do in the other all
the same crap that people ask every single press conference.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
It's a totally different thing.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
And the approach in these press conferences to so called
journalism has changed dramatically. I don't know if it's for
the good. I mean, that's for you the consumer. My
approach will be my approach for the next at least
the next two years. But that's what I teach at
my broadcasting school. Whatever you do after that, I want
(24:38):
to give you the foundation of what you should do
when you go to a press conference. You're not there
to be cheering in the press box. You're not there
to be cheering in a press conference. But it became
like this back and forth on social media. And that's
what was surprising is I think it came from a
good place with her that yes she was proud, and
(25:01):
yes it was a local reporter, but that's where you know,
I pull you aside and say, I hope you understand
exactly what you did for this community and be proud
and hold your head up. But you know, to make
it like this is Nixon Frost debate.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
Yeah, POLLI yeah, when I heard it yesterday and I
saw how I was posted.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I'll get to that.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
But like, I both thought that, wow, it was really
sweet what she said, and also that journalists are not
supposed to do that in press conferences. That's and everyone
knows that it's not even the debate, that you're not
supposed to handle questions or statements that way.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
But what she said was really sweet.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
I didn't think Adam Schefter did her any favors when
he posted this is an awesome postgame exchange between a
reporter and head coach Liam Cohen. He gave no context
to the person asking how old they were, how long
they've been there? And people came after this reporter. Yeah,
and it took me a while to look up how
long she'd been there. I took a minute. But Schefter
did her no favors and posting it that way.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, and this isn't Hey, I got my show and
I get to you know, treat my guests this way.
This is a reporter. It's different. We have to play
by different rules. We're not cheerleaders. It's not like Teddy
Bruski's on the Mothership and he's saying nice things about
the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
He's a former Patriot.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
You have to approach this as fair as you possibly can,
because I always thought when you're watching Sports Center, I
want to make sure you know that I don't have
a bias. I don't have a bias against your team
or you know, for your team.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I don't want you to ever think that because when
somebody says, oh, who you want to win?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
I go.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
It doesn't matter, it doesn't ye know. Case in point,
when we're at Notre Dame, you can't help it, like
Marcus Freeman. But if USC won that game, it's content.
If Miami wins the national title, I don't care. I mean,
Indiana's a great story, but if Miami wins, it's still
(27:07):
a great story. That's what I'm in the storytelling business.
But you're not in the business of rooting. And I'm
guilty of this. It's hard not to do it, and
people want access. How do you get access? By being
nice to people, by saying nice things about people. I mean,
(27:31):
there are people won't come on this show, but you know,
there are reasons. And it's not that I didn't do
my job. It's that I do my job at least
what I think is my job, and this is my show.
My approach is different than throw out other hosts how
Jim Rome or Colin does him his or you know
(27:53):
the ESPN Morning Show. I mean, everybody that's your territory,
do what you want.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yes, Tom, I appreciate what she had to say, and
I understand the form isn't the best place. What if
you were a journalist covering the team and you had
a tough question that you were ready to ask right
after she said that, you would look like such a jerk.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
How'd you guys blow that you could have beat the bills?
Speaker 6 (28:13):
What happened after she just gave the flowers to him?
You almost can't ask the question there.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
That's tough, No, But I don't know what tough question
you'd be asking that, you know. I mean, this is
a team that probably felt a year ahead of schedule.
There they it's a great story, great story, and nobody's
going to take Jacksonville lightly next year. But I mean
you want to ask tough questions the Packers after they lost,
(28:40):
that would be the place where you're asking some tough questions.
Here is Matt Lafleur, Green Bay head coach.
Speaker 16 (28:47):
Well, obviously this one is going to hurt for a really,
really long time. You know, when you are in complete
control of the football game and the flip the script
gets flipped in the second half. It was a lot
of self inflicted things. And you know, give credit to them.
We knew they were a team that could come back
and fight. I mean they've proved it all season long,
(29:10):
and we had opportunities to kind of put them away
and we didn't get it done.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
He got asked quite a few times about coming back
next year. He's going to be in the final year
of his contract. But you know, these are tough questions.
But this is big boy business. They get paid to
answer these questions. You got to ask the questions, and
you know how you ask it. I mean, you may
(29:37):
dress it up a little bit so it doesn't sound
as penetrating, but you still have to ask these questions.
And yes, it is uncomfortable, and I've you know, I
got yelled at by Don Shula one time, the Great
Don Shula, because I asked a question and he didn't
like the way I asked it, almost as if to say,
(29:58):
who were you to ask me that question? And he's
probably right. I mean, I was young in the business,
but you know, you got to ask a question because
you've got to serve your audience.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You're readers. Remember when they used to read newspapers.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
God, the Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Post Gazette is folding. Yeah, that's
that's unbelievable in that town, as valuable as that newspaper was.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, I remember growing up the sports reporters.
They were big.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
I remember being starstrug when I met Bob Ryan and
my cousin was like, you're such a geek, it's pathetic.
I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Bob Ryan from the Boston Glow.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
He was like, yeah, he's a writer. Chad in Salt Lake.
He types for a living.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
Hey Chad, Hey, how you doing, guys?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Good.
Speaker 17 (30:50):
So when you read her job description, she and maybe
started out as a reporter, but is now in the
sales side. She's there, you know, she's there as a fan.
That just happened to have a press credential. I'm assuming
maybe I shouldn't assuen that, but it feels that way.
I've been in that boat. I work in sports radio
on the sales side. I would love to do what
(31:11):
you guys do, but I saw who drives the nicer cars,
so I moved to the sales site years ago.
Speaker 11 (31:17):
You know, it's it just.
Speaker 10 (31:19):
Like she was there.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Accurate, accurate, accurate, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (31:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Are there moments where you know a reporter is hugging
somebody after a game or whatever, Yes, yes, there's yes,
all of these. I just think you have to have
there have to be lines here, like there has to be,
you know, guardrails where you're able to ask these questions.
But I'm not gonna you know, I don't have any problem.
(31:51):
If she's that emotional and invested, and you know she
let those emotions out, it's okay. But now this is
a referendum on old school news.
Speaker 13 (32:04):
School.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
This is no you know, nobody cares about you, old journalist.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
And maybe that's true, but I came in this way,
I'm going out this way. Take a break.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Last call for phone calls back after this.

Speaker 19 (32:49):
Hey Dan, thanks for having me first time, long time.
I just wanted to give my Utah stay Aggie the
shout out men's basketball team this past week, on Friday,
Boise State, who they are playing, sent out a tweet
saying any and all students with a valid ID could
get into the game for free. So you tossed State
student section took that literally and started a caravan up
(33:09):
there to Boise Well. On Saturday, Boise State tweeted back
that it's only falled free Idaho students. Well, the men's
basketball coaching staff and boosters paid for all the students
to go up there, and you tost State handed Boise
Data historic cloth by about forty points. The other best
of the weekend is a shout out to all my
homies with texachromies. I've got a son with Down syndrome.

Speaker 20 (33:45):
Hey Dan, Second time, longtime Friday two fifty. First off,
I want to say Fritchie gobroncos whoop whoop. Yesterday we

with two touchdowns and four picks. No easy way to
say that. All right, Thank you, Dakota. Uh Greg and Michigan,
Hi Greg, what's on your mind?
Speaker 18 (34:36):
Hey Dan? Mister positive Hey, you raised an interesting conundrum
about separating objectivity from your emotions. You got to always
understand confirmation bias leads you to the proposition that you pose.
You've got to read Jonathan Hate, you're writing an elephant.
The elephant is everything other than your conscious and reason.
(35:00):
Who's gonna win? Who's going to take you to the
direction that you want? You're going to go the elephant wins.
So I understand what you're saying, But thanks for taking
my call. The bills they've got to win. Josh Elvis
Allen is superman. He can do it all by himself
with a little help.

He is the elephant. Greg, thank you, Thank you for
