Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the final hour on this Meat Friday. It's going
to be busy. Randall Shambley Golf Channel fired up, John
Rahm defecting. Also we have Rob Gronkowski joining us. It's
a meat Friday. Just went out and inspected the uh
Tregger grills, the French dip sandwiches, smoked macaroni salad, sweet
(00:24):
potato fries.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Noney stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of this program. Sunday Night, Jalen
Hurts and the Eagles take on Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
It is a big game. Sunday seven Eastern on NBC
and Peacock. Final hour poll question is going to be
what seat O'Connor.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Let me update you Dan from ours one and two.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
All right, we had first hour.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
We went with John Rompole question, if how much more
interested are you in live golf now that John Rahm
is on board? Unfortunately eighty eight percent say not really
very much more interesting?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
And then we have if you could choose, you would
put show Heyo Tani on the Angels, blue Jays, Dodgers
or Giants. Right now, it's Blue Jays, Dodgers, Giant Angels
in that order.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, what's pole question for the final hour?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Why do you think more people want the blue Jays?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Now? I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Why do people all of a sudden today people are like, oh, no,
you know what, I want him on the Blue Jays.
That is the most natural destination. Let's get him on
the blue Jays. That's where I want them.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
The only thing I can figure out is it's East Coast.
He'll be playing the Yankees and Red Sox on a
regular basis. You're gonna be able to see his highlights,
you see his games instead of West Coast, and he
could be playing in playoff games.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Yes, Mark, I think also people have him been saying
blue Jays, dark Horse, and so now people are kind
of like, oh, I guess the blue Jays are Yeah,
the Drake effect.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I think it's more a people want to be right
of facts. Yeah, yeah, that's what I called. Yeah, I
told you, I told as, I told you Friday.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
That's where he was going. Yeah, you know I'm here
dark Horse.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, the Patriots did the wrong thing.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
They won last night.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
They're now three and ten and dropping out of the
mix I think for the top two picks right now.
And the Steelers they were seven and four two weeks ago,
they're now seven and six. All the Patriots have the
second pick still, so they they could afford another win,
and that sounds strange. You guys gonna have one more
(02:41):
win and then that's it. You don't want to be
losing out on one of those two top draft picks.
But the Steelers now seven and six after losing those
two games at home to bad teams. Pacers over the Bucks,
Lakers dominate the Pelicans the Ncason Tournament. Say good morning
to those watching on Peacock. Download the app if you
haven't done so, and pick up a batch of the
(03:03):
Tailgate Moonshine. It's peppermint bark, just in time for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It tastes great.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
We'll talk to Rob grin Katlski in about twenty minutes
from now. We bring in Brandal Shamblee, Golf Channel leads
studio analyst. The level of surprise when you heard that
John Rahm was defecting to the live tour not high
at all.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I mean, the rumors have been rampant for a couple
of weeks. So if you go by the rumors, not
at all. But if you go by his comments what
over the last year and a half or so, where
he was where he was adamant that he wouldn't leave
for Live, that he had pledged his fealty to the
PGA Tour and said it wouldn't even be smart thing
for him to do at this point in his career.
(03:46):
I'd say there are a lot of people that were
surprised that weren't keeping up with the rumors as of late.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Why is the Live Tour still acquiring golfers and somebody
for five hundred million dollars, I guess.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
After the proposed merger and the wording in it that
didn't allow them to recruit players or poach from either
side by both parties, the Department of Justice their Anti
Trust division where they were concerned about the wording in it,
and so both parties got rid of that wording which
opened the door. But really I think the reason to
(04:20):
Live did this was it was more reminder of the
PGA Tour who was recruiting private equity over the last
couple of months, and that was well known. I think
more than anything, it was just a reminder to the
PGA Tour of who really still had the hammer, you know,
lives in the more dominant position here. They've got thirty
(04:40):
two trillion dollars worth of oil underneath that saying, and
they're not going anywhere. I've said before after the initial merger,
and I tried to get my arms around it, Dan.
You know once once I got to a point where
I thought I understood it well enough. I thought, and
I said this that the second worst thing that could
(05:01):
happen to the PGA Tour was if this merger went through.
And the worst thing that could happen to the PGA
Tour was it this merger didn't go through.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Boy, Yeah, well I'm wondering if John Rahm got to
the point where it's like, all right, there might be
a merger. They're gonna pay me five hundred million dollars
or whatever. The PGA Tour kind of went behind our
back to try to do this merger. I was a
good soldier with Rory and fought for the PGA Tour,
(05:31):
and now I can't turn down this money. And everybody
else has kind of taken the slings and arrows before
him that he can sort of go there, But I mean,
does that sound logical in your mind?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Absolutely. I think the whole, well not the whole, but
a lot of the professional golf world has kind of
got something like the Stockholm syndrome with live now, and
I think it can go right back. He pointed to
the absolute right spot. After that June sixth proposed merger,
I feel like a lot of people that were defending
(06:06):
the PGA Tour, thinking they were on the right side
of it, changed their position. They felt like they had
been betrayed. They lost trust in the PGA towards Zach Johnson,
the captain of the Ryder Cup team, even picked Brooks Koepka,
who had not qualified for the Ryder Cup, to be
on the Ryder Cup team. So I think sort of
(06:26):
the trickle down theory of the PGA Tour seemed to
be doing business with people that they had previously harshly criticized,
opened the door to everybody to make a move something like.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
This, What is golf going to look like?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
What's the PGA Tour going to look like in two years.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Three years?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Well, I hope to live the deal goes through. Now
it's obvious the best thing for the PGA Tour, and
if it goes through, it remains to be seen whether
Live lives or not. If it doesn't, it looks like
rom was the strategic play that Lived needed to make
to bring this merger together because each side has something
(07:10):
the other side wants. Obviously, the PGA Tour would like
an infusion of money, but Live looks at the PGA
Tour and that what they see is a seat at
the table. Legitimacy, legacy, every one of the fifty million
golfers in the world knows about the history of the
(07:32):
PGA Tour. They have the respect and recognition of commercial entities,
broad commercial entities, whereas there's a lot of pushback for
Saudi Arabia involvement in some of those avenues. So Saudi
Arabia gets an immediate seat at the table and the
respect and recognition of partnering with the single best golf
(07:57):
entity in the world. So they both have some that
they want. So if it if it comes together, I
think golf is better off. If it doesn't, then you're
going to have this never ending competition between Live and
the PGA Tour, which you know, sadly it's hard to
imagine how LIV loses here. The governor of Live is
(08:17):
Yasser al Ramian, who is well educated, very clever, very charming,
and can be quite intimidating, and he loves golf.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm talking to Brande Chamblie, Golf Channel lead studio analyst.
If you had a Cameron Rory McElroy yesterday when he
heard the news, what do you think of what looked
like or sounded like him?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
He probably shook his head, you know. But I listened
to Rory's remarks yesterday and I thought they were spot on.
You know, he said he's going to miss competing against
John Rahm. He said that, you know, he's immensely talented.
All those things you know, no doubt are true. I'm
gonna miss watching John Rom play. But I heard I
(09:01):
heard people and I read people who said that this
was devastating to the PGA tour. I think that's hyperbole.
It would be devastating if Tiger went to live. It
would be devastating, if Rory went to live. It'd be devastating,
if Jordan Speith went to live. I just listened to
the pole. Question answered by your audience, eighty eight percent
(09:24):
not really interested in rom going to live. The fact
is there are very few golfers in the world that
move the needle and compel people to buy a ticket
just to go see them, very through, very few. You
asked the executives that run golf around the world, and
it is Tiger, Rory and Jordan Speed. Before Phil left,
it was philed, But there's Brooks kept it, There's DJ,
(09:46):
there's Phil, there's Campus Smith. All of those stars didn't
compel or galvanized audiences to watch live last year. So
I agree with your audience eighty eight percent of your audience.
I don't think Rob's going to have a huge impact
on galvani people to watch a product that is inferior.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, why don't they play four rounds?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I mean that's stupid, Dan, Why don't they play four rounds?
Why don't they have a qualified school, a feed or tour.
Why don't they have a cut All of those things
would give more legitimacy to the events absolutely than them
buying these stars. Absolutely, they would have the best players.
You know, for the PGA Tour to compete with Live,
(10:28):
they would have to bring in private equity. This is
the pickle they're in because they'd have to bring in
private equity to lock up players sign them to contracts.
But private equity, unlike the Saudis, would want to make
a profit, so they wouldn't sign these players for these
huge contracts. The Saudis are playing the long game, and
they're trying to diversify their economy, and they're looking several
(10:50):
decades down the road where they absolutely are desperate to
diversify their economy. So they'll lose in the early goings
of this to gain in the long term private equity.
But he's never going to make a deal like that,
So live per hand here in the negotiations.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Before I let you go this roll back with the
golf ball. I was watching the DP World Golf Tour
and there was an amateur who hit a drive four
hundred and ten yards and devers downhill, but everybody else
was hitting like three forty three. He still hit it
sixty yards past everybody. Five percent doesn't mean anything to
these players. Percent means something to me. If you want
(11:29):
to really make an impact, roll that ball back twenty
percent and then maybe maybe they get back to playing
these golf courses the way they're meant to be playing.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Your thoughts, well, you know, the number of professional golfers
in the world is ten thousand. Roughly speaking, there's fifty
million golfers. That equates to point zero zero zero three
percent of the golfers that play the game at the
highest level, and a very small percentage of them hit
at three hundred plus yards. Certainly, they don't carry at
(12:00):
The average carrier on the PGA Tour this year was
two hundred and eighty four yards. So the USG and
the RNA are making a decision that will hurt ninety
eight ninety nine percent of the golfers in that they
will have to absorb the cost of the R and
D of this new golf ball. Professional golfers don't pay
for golf balls, and they will to your point, Dan,
(12:23):
they will so quickly recoup this lost distance of this
golf ball. They'll do it like that. They will literally
do it like that. You look at the distance gage,
huge distance gates that Padrick Harrington made it forty nine
years old, Phil Micholson made it forty nine years old,
Stuart Sing made it forty nine years old, Cameron to
Gollie made and scores of others. You look at those
(12:44):
huge distance gains and they will be compelled to do that. Meanwhile,
you me, we will all lose five ten yards or
so on every t shot and almost every single approach shot.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, I didn't have that five or ten to lose, Brandle,
I didn't either.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
I didn't either.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
I could hear my balls land almost.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Great to talk to you again and thanks for joining us, Bud.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Always a pleasure, Dan, Take care.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Randall Shambly Golf Channel leads studio analyst. I thought he
was composed. I thought he might be a little more
fire and brimstone. Maybe it's just all right whatever. A
couple of phone calls here Brian in South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Hi, Brian, Heydan, how are you doing? Hey, Bud.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
I think that Booger and RG three are missing a
one component and I really appreciate your transparency, always transparent, consisting.
So I want to ask you a question. Where'd you
have FSU after Jordan Travis went down? After he went
down immediately from the next two to three weeks, where
would you have put FSU in the top twenty five.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't do rankings, but I did say that the
College Football Playoff Committee made a mistake by keeping them
in the top four. When he went down. I thought,
you haven't. You have them at five and then there's
a chance they get in. When you have them at four,
that's when people have a problem, Like now you're going
to take them out. You know, they didn't lose a game,
(14:13):
they didn't look good.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I'd like to have seen their backup quarterback have a
chance to do something you know, legendary, historical, lead them
into a national title, national title game.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But if you're saying the best teams and I know
I keep repeating myself, and I'm going to continue because
it's one I believe. When somebody asked me, then I'll
tell you. You can't tell me Florida State today is
better than Georgia.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You just can't now.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Alabama's in because they won Washington has been a great
team start to finish, and they have a Heisman finalist,
and they have a great wide receiver. And Texas might
be the best team in football right now. I just
Georgia has a beef in my opinion, back to back
national titles, won twenty nine in a row, lost to
Alabama on a neutral side by three.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yah.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Is there a certain like naivete with the Hey, Florida
State's undefeated, they should get in.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, yes, it feels that.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Okay, it's just not the reality. It's just not the
way that it works.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
And is it unfair, Yeah, absolutely, but that's not the
way that college football is not set up to be fair.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, there's nothing fair about college football. There's never been
anything fair about college football. I mean there's certain schools
that stayed up for a variety of reasons. Recruiting edge Paola,
I mean a lot of things here, hoarding all the
great players, not letting other teams have these players, keeping
(15:52):
them for at least three years. You can't transfer, you'd
have to sit out a year. I mean, there's nothing
fair about it. We would like to understand the rules. Well,
nobody wrote down the rules. That's why when you have
thirteen people, it's open to interpretation. And that's all this was.
They And the analogy I use is if Roger Goodell
(16:16):
could somehow say the winner of the NFC South is
not going to host a playoff game, then he would
do it.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
He can't.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
The committee had the opportunity to say, we need teams
that are going to believe their team can win. They'll
travel to the bowl game, maybe two bowl games, and
that these are representative of the best teams in college
football and the games are going to be competitive.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yes, bo one thing that did bother me.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
After Florid Day got pulled out of the playoffs, there
were some analysts, not us, but some that said Florida
State can't win the national title. Florida State can't beat
Michigan around one.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't like that.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
Don't go that extremely say it's unlikely because Jordan Travis
is out. But Florida State, their defense could pitch a shutout.
Michigan's not a high flying scoring team. They actually matched
up pretty well against Michigan. We didn't say anything like that.
We didn't say Florida State couldn't be Michigan. We said
their chances are much less likely because of the Travis injury.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, I never say no. I say low, like the percentage,
you know, a low chance. But they do have a chance.
They would have a chance. That defense is wonderful And
I have nothing against Florida State. People think this is personal.
It's personal to you, not to me. My job is
just to sort through this stuff, to talk to people,
to talk to a source, you know. And they gave me,
(17:34):
you know, sort of the backdrop of how this came
to be.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah, Marv, and I think Florida State just caught a
bad break because if this was last year, they would
have been in, or if it was the year before
they would have been in, they would have been in
before Cincinnati and TCU.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
They just caught a bad break this year. I think
that was it.
Speaker 2 (17:51):

Easy State. On December sixteenth. Gronk joins us. Now, ooh,
look at the backdrop there. He got a lot of
fun things in the office there. What's the coolest thing
you have there?
Speaker 11 (19:24):
I had The best thing in my office, I would say,
is definitely the three New England Patriots Super Bowl replica trophies.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
They're not the real Vince.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
Lombardi trophies, but they're replicas. And it's the three that
I won with New England and the one I won
with Tampa is down in my crib down in Florida,
so it's definitely the best thing in here. Every time
someone comes through my house, a friend or family member,
whoever it is, they're always in awe whenever they.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
See these trophies, and they always ask is this.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The real one?
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:56):
And I my con second player acting, And then they
work for the dent. Damn. They look for the dent. Oh,
this isn't the real one.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
So I got to put a dent in the one
that that has the dent over at the Patriots Hall
of Fame. But then I trick and I'm like, they're
not the real one. Uh, it's they're just replicause, but
they love them.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
When's the last time you talked to Brady?
Speaker 11 (20:17):
I actually talked to him yesterday and he sent me
some highlights of us in the playoffs, which was really
cool because, uh, I actually saw some highlights of us
on Instagram about two weeks ago, and I was like, dang,
we were legit.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
And wait, wait did you forget?
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I kind of forgot, you know.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
I'm so busy running around doing all the stuff, doing
the analysts for Fox and stuff, and wow, when I
see the highlights, man I think we're we're the top dogs.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Man.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
No one did it better than us. I swear man,
we were on fire, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Okay, Kelsey and Mahomes.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
They're legit.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
Then you know, you can't take away anything from home.
But you know, I think Brady and Ground just sounds
a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Man, It has a better But if.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It was a fight, an actual fistfight, you and Brady
versus Mahomes and Kelsey, Oh my.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Gosh, oh man.
Speaker 11 (21:12):
Everyone always tries to compare us, you know, us two
percent to her Travis versus myself, and everyone always takes
a different angle.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
But all right, I'm gonna answer. I mean, you asked,
so you know, I think we'll take him down. I
think we'll win.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I mean, hey, but it's Tom a good fighter.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
Weird. Hey, Tom's a dog. Tom's a dog.
Speaker 11 (21:31):
And you know something, I saw what he said on
his podcast the other day with Ladanian Tomlinson. Yeah, I
got up. You know, he said it this way. I
wasn't a I got up from every single hit.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
And I gotta agree with that.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
And uh, you know, the rule starts softening a little
bit at the right time for Tom Brady when he
started going into his thirties, thirty five years old, into
his forties, so it helped him out tremendously. The plate
about forty five years old. But I've seen some crazy,
crazy highlights Tom Brady when he was twenty four years old,
twenty five, and he absolutely got lit up any quarterback
(22:08):
I've ever seen in my life. And I'm sitting there like, damn, Tom,
I didn't know you used to take hits like this,
and he got off every single time.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
So you got to give him that credit. Man.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, I go back to that Super Bowl with the
Giants grunk and I was on the sidelines watching that
he and I remember Straighthand telling me he never had
more respect for Brady than after that Super Bowl with
the punishment they gave him. And he never ever complained.
Speaker 11 (22:32):
That's one hundred percent true. And every injury that Tom
ever had to he's never complained.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
He always found a way to get back.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
Out on the practice field the next day or to
continued practice. For example, when he ripped open his hand
before the Jacksonville game, the AFC Championship game, I don't know,
six years ago or whatever it was, I saw it happen.
I mean a screamed like a moflaw. That's for sure
because it won.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I mean, you ripped her freaking whole thumb open. But
let me tell you it didn't hold him down. He
was out there for the game, so nothing holds him down.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Man.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
The guy's a warrior, and so if you're ever in
a battle with him, you know he's going to keep
battling until you freaking knock him out or freaking demolish him.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
So you know he's gonna keep fighting for you, that's.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
For sure, Lynch. Lunchtime you talked to Belichick.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
Was actually on Tom's podcast when he retired, so everything.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Has to go back to Tom. So I was on
top of whatever the.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
Podcast he does on Serious XCM, and then.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
He was having everyone come on here, Peyton Manny, come on,
and then.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
I started making fun of Tom with Peyton Manny saying,
Tom Richter plays off of you, Peyton Manny, that's why we.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Were so successful.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
And then all of a sudden, Coach Baalichack came on
too at the same time, and then we just started
bantering back and forth.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
It was great interaction, man, it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
He's robed.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Grinkowski won four Super Bowls and he is the host
of the LA bul It'll be at so fights UCLA
Boys Stick. Okay, how did this happen? And what's your
role in the bull game once starts?
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Yeah, so it kind of happened.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
I mean, they had Jimmy Kimmel as a host the
last two years, and it was the first two years
the LA Bowl was established, and then you know, his
contract or whatever expired and then they're moving on to
you know, find an athlete, and they hit up my team,
they hit up my management and asked if I would be,
you know, interested in hosting the LA Bowl. And right
(24:24):
when I heard about the LA Ball and.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
If I was interested, it definitely clicked.
Speaker 11 (24:28):
And you want to know why I clicked because it
was the bowl game that I last played, my last
game at the University of Arizona.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
At with my brother Chris.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
And that game was actually in Las Vegas at the time,
it was the Las Vegas Bowl, but it was a
fifth place Pac tenn See versus the first place.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Mountain West Sea.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
So that conference matchup has now moved to LA the
last two years, so it's technically the last bowl game
I played. Willie Tatama over three hundred yards my brother
Chris up the middle for about a thirty yard touchdown
off play.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
We beat BYU by ten.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
Points I think, and they were ranked number seventeen in
the country at the time. So it was my last
college football game. I didn't score a touchdown. I didn't
have that good of a game, but we won. It
was the first time Arizona was in a ballgame in
ten years. We won the bowl game as well. So
right when that click, wow, I get the host of ballgame.
That was my last college game and we won that
ball game. That's a no brainer. I'm all in, let's
(25:23):
do it.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
That's cool. That's cool. Are you singing the anthem?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (25:27):
And I will be seeing the national anthem as well.
We're gonna have dance off and I'll be playing. But Dan,
I'm not seeing the national anthem by myself. So I
was with them and I sung the national anthem to
them and they all started plugging their ears. I was
doing that at the moment, and John Adaman goes bro,
let me take ten more shots of tequila and then I'm.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Going to practice.
Speaker 11 (25:52):
I got the words down, but I'm also singing rude directions.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Veterans choir.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
Okay, so since it of men and women who have served,
probably in the United States military.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
So I'll be singing with them.
Speaker 11 (26:08):
So I have a little backup behind me, so you know,
I don't you know, so it looks they're making me
look good.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
That's basically what.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Can we do?
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Just a sample?
Speaker 7 (26:17):
I man, my throat hurts.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Let's just give you.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
I'm just give you the first line. Oh say, there
we go?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Okay, first words. Okay, here's the key. It's to be
in the right key when you start. Don't start up
too high or you're going to have a Carl Lewis
moment where you get up way too high and you
can't come back down.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Start out low.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
Oh say can you see?
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Oh man, damn, I'm going to need you to sing
it with me as well.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
No, no, no, that'll be guilt by association. I want
you to do it yourself and let you stand out.
I don't want any blame if it doesn't go well.
Speaker 11 (26:54):
I'm going to ask them if I can sing the
last line by myself, like, have the choir just totally
and then I hit the last line.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
The crowd they would go crazy.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
When's the last time you hit somebody.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
Oh man, oh man, hit somebody.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
I mean I would say the last game, I would say, like, actually,
hit hit somebody.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
You do you miss? Do you miss contact?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (27:28):
No, not really, man, I've been having contact my whole life,
ever since I was four years old with my brothers
in the basement playing ministick hockey. There's actually home videos
of us Christmas Eve and my mom's filming and all
of a sudden, there's such a big hit. I probably
went flying to the ground, stitches all on his face.
I'm the one who leveled him. He's going to the hospital.
So like, hitting's been in my culture in my life
(27:52):
since I was a young kid. But man, I don't
really miss it that much anymore. I love activities. I
love I love the sports where there's.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Not more contact. Car hall, But I got hit enough
in my life.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
What was your second best sport.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
I would say I would go with I would say
baseball all the way up until I was about fourteen
years old, and then I started declining big time because
I think I started lifting and getting too big.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
I couldn't really swing that much anymore.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
But then basketball was my second favorite to play in
high school because it was just like We had such
a great atmosphere at our school. We had a crowd
called the Green Squall, and they would just calm and
harrass the other team the whole time. They would go
crazy if I dunked the ball. So basketball was a
lot of fun in high school.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I'm glad you're doing well.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
And it's weird how people keep they push athletes or
asking when you're going to retire, when you're going to retire,
and then you retire, and then they say when are
you going to come back? It felt like now you're
past that moment that people aren't asking you on a
semi regular basis of hey, would you come Bennick No, I.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
Would say the first time I retired, and I got
it basically every single day wherever I went. And then
I would say the second time I retired, which was
over wow, like a year ago or whatever.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
I still got it a lot. I think it as much, and.
Speaker 11 (29:10):
Now I still get it like probably like once a week,
maybe once every other week, but it's not at a
consistent basis anymore like it was before.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
It was like every day. Man, So it's I'm glad
I'm passing that.
Speaker 11 (29:21):
I'm glad it's not every single day because it kind
of gets annoying. You're trying to do something and someone
just asked you out of nowhere when you're coming back,
you know, So that's in the past now and just
moving on the dub I would say, I want to
say the bigger, better things, because playing football is big
and it's awesome to play football, but I'm moving on
the great things like hosting the LA Ball, I'm doing
(29:42):
the Fox and Analyst stuff, so a lot of cool
things like that. Man, to keep me busy, because you
got to stay busy. Man, I like having my time off,
There's no doubt about it. I like having five days
doing whatever I want. But also, man, I got to
work as well, and staying busy is definitely a staple
to keep.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Me goingorried about you getting USAA insurance though, Grounk, I
don't think you're ever going to get it.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
I don't think I'm ever going to get it either.
Speaker 11 (30:07):
And I just jumped out of the plane when we
were at the Army Base when for the Fox pregame show,
when we did it at the not the Army Base
Air Force Base in Colorado, jumped out of a plane
with one of the Air Force guys. I had over
thirty five hundred jumps, so I felt very safe and
I was flipping and doing all that good stuff. I
landed and then all the cadets were there as well.
(30:28):
There was about two hundred of them, and they're all
asked me, does that get the USA.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
I'm like, hope it doesn't. And then the one he
was like, marry my sister.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
That man, We're going to another level now.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah. Good luck with the LA ball and thanks for
joining us.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Drunk Hey Dan.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
Thanks for having me Man December sixteenth, LA Bowl Boise
State for UCLA and I don't know who I'm.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Cheering for yet, Thanks Bud. Yes, thanks for having me
Man trum Grinkowski Seed.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I couldn't help, but halfway through the interview think you
were going to interrupt and go buffed up dead the
AU or us AA or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Boff Dad, how do I get that chance?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
And we're not quite sure if Gronk is putting us
on with the way he acts or that's just who
he is.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Boff Dad.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
Yes, I've always wondered if Gronk's like kind of a
generally break guy and just a big goofball and that
sometimes he plays it up for interviews like this, But
I think he's just a twelve year old who happens
to be the best tight end of all time?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Is he the best tight end of all time? At
certain points? But I think he's a harmless goofball.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, I think he's only what thirty four?
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Does that sound right? Is? Is Travis Kelsey older than Gronk?
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah? How about that one?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Boss Dad, here's a question for you. Yes, uh, Gronk
and Kelsey same ah? Who is going to make more
money in their deal? John Ram Or show heyo Tani? Well,
and I'm not talking about the average because ram is
(32:18):
supposed to be a three year maybe five hundred million,
but it's crazy. And then show he is going to
be a ten year deal for five hundred and fifty
or whatever. Who has more money coming to them with
their current deal? John Ramer Show, Heyo Tony?

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Todd. I'll start with you.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
I think the Cowboys and Dolls have to make a
statement against those Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
See no counter.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Last week, Dan, I had the forty nine ers at
Eagles must win game. This week it's Eagles Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
The Eagles must win this week. Mar what about you.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
I'm going with the Chiefs to stay aflow and the
playoff pitcher in AFC.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
They got to beat the Chiefs. Stole mine, PAULI.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
The Detroit Lions are nine to three. They're at the
Bears in a game they should win. They you know,
they need to win this to stay in the mix
for home field advantage. And the Packers are getting a
little better. Don't want to play with fire here. I
I was going to take Kansas City. They're a slight
favored against Buffalo, and I was talking to a very
(35:31):
sharp gambler yesterday and he does the Chicken Dinner podcast
and do we have.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Some of that mark you want to play it?
Speaker 13 (35:43):
First time I went out with Shaye, Oh, it was
the opening day of March Madness, which a Thursday. The
game start at eleven thirty in the morning. At five o'clock,
after how much boozing. Oh, he looks at me, puts
his armor on my neck.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
And says, all right, I got a bunce.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I got my daughter's birthday. That's right, dead serious.
Speaker 12 (36:05):
And he goes and he's gone, yeah, yeah, she turned
like two that day, and there's walked into the apartment.
It was a room full of people and they were like,
happy birthday, and I.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Was like, where the fuck am on?
Speaker 12 (36:15):
It was out of my mind. That's sorry, Drake. I
woke the bar tender up. Like at the bar, I
woke Hi up.
Speaker 13 (36:20):
You were banging on the last because the bar wasn't
open yet.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
That's true. Oh, that's a good day.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
Brother.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Dan Patrick takes a gamble. That's Sam who does the
Chicken Dinner podcast and also contributes to Nessen and he's
friends with Shay. Shay's back stateside from Austria. We lost
bad Larry Bad. Larry apparently was having surgery, phone off,
blood coming down his wrists, stitches, and uh, we didn't
(36:47):
care to follow up, like we like, we couldn't find him.
And then all of a sudden he sent a picture
and then we were like, all right, whatever the podcast is,
it's really entertained. What is the lead story on Monday? Todd,
I'll start with you.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'm gonna go how about them Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Okay, seating, It's definitely gonna be show Hay related, but
I still sticking with show Hay stays okay, he stays
in anah huh, he stays in anah wow. That would
be that'd be a shock.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Marvin chiefs now Bills beat the Chiefs, ok oh, okay, Paulie.
Speaker 9 (37:24):
As much as I like to pick the Pacers big
championship victory parade in the n season tournament with the Pacers, ah, whatever,
the result of the Eagles Cowboys will be the lead.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
I think it'll be O Tawny show Hey the money, Yeah,
how about not well received? Marvin gets the Heisman Trophy?
What No, He's not getting the Heisman.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
True.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
If he did, though, that would be the lead for sure.
Marvin Harrison Junior, the third, Austin and Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Austin, thanks for holding What can I do for you today?
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Third?
Speaker 14 (37:55):
Ten, long time six one two ten right like happy meat,
shout out more for the music Fridays. I love to
note that French dep looks fantastic. I got a couple
things on Lebron. I know you're on the tight schedule. Look,
I just want everybody to not take for granted what
we're seeing with the oldest player in the league right now.
It's never happened before, it'll never happen again. Just a
(38:17):
casual thirty five and eight on seventy five percent shooting
and he took three Georges DP. This man has a family. Look,
I'll leave you with this.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Dan.
Speaker 14 (38:28):
If Lebron wins on Saturday night, he'll do something Michael
Jordan never did, and that's leave Las Vegas with five
hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Line Wow, Wow him up and knock him down? Wow Ow.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Kurt and Colorado, Hi, Kurt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (38:48):
Hey, I'm not a longtime listener, but that's part of
my first question is when people say longtime listener, what's
the criteria like what's the cutoff for that? And then
second question I'm always wondering about, is it that sings
the salary song?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
No, No, that's a listener who sent that in. I
think he's from Wisconsin. It's not seating. Satan's not singing salary.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
I wish, yeah, I wish I had, but I'm not,
uh longtime listener. How long is long time for you, guys?
Dodd at least five years? Five plus a nice ring
to it. I'd say at least seven like a long time.
And I'd say ten, maybe closer to ten than five. Yeah, yeah,
I'd say so.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Five years feels like a long time to dedicate to something.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Though.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
This day in sports history.
Speaker 9 (39:36):
Oh, let's see, just got one for you here. Mario
Lemieux in two thousand returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the
first ever modern owner player in US sports. He was
thirty five years old. And oh we remember this one
in Michigan, five Indiana Pacers and seven fans were charged
for various crimes the fight for the Pacers Pistons game
on November nineteenth.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Then, yeah, we were in Columbus, Ohigo, Yeah, that night.
Tim Tebow won the Heisman on this day, Todd, would
you today.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Bill Belchi giving players nuts? We could actually understand what
he was saying, and he's the guest picker for Army.
Maybe a rereading the Twilight Zone or something.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Seaton Randall said, the best thing that could happen to
lift golf.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Is the PGA could go through. Not the same deal.
Marvin Pacers raised that banner, Pauli.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
USAA, Bucktead Fragger's all new flat rock flat top grill.
They got a lot of great things for the holidays.
They're up to twenty percent off select grills and fifteen
percent off success frees for military members and first responders.
Great people, Tregger bringing people together. Have a great weekend everybody.
We'll look forward to talking to you Monday.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the final hour on this Meat Friday. It's going
to be busy. Randall Shambley Golf Channel fired up, John
Rahm defecting. Also we have Rob Gronkowski joining us. It's
a meat Friday. Just went out and inspected the uh
Tregger grills, the French dip sandwiches, smoked macaroni salad, sweet
(00:24):
potato fries.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Noney stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of this program. Sunday Night, Jalen
Hurts and the Eagles take on Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
It is a big game. Sunday seven Eastern on NBC
and Peacock. Final hour poll question is going to be
what seat O'Connor.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Let me update you Dan from ours one and two.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
All right, we had first hour.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
We went with John Rompole question, if how much more
interested are you in live golf now that John Rahm
is on board? Unfortunately eighty eight percent say not really
very much more interesting?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
And then we have if you could choose, you would
put show Heyo Tani on the Angels, blue Jays, Dodgers
or Giants. Right now, it's Blue Jays, Dodgers, Giant Angels
in that order.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, what's pole question for the final hour?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Why do you think more people want the blue Jays?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Now? I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Why do people all of a sudden today people are like, oh, no,
you know what, I want him on the Blue Jays.
That is the most natural destination. Let's get him on
the blue Jays. That's where I want them.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
The only thing I can figure out is it's East Coast.
He'll be playing the Yankees and Red Sox on a
regular basis. You're gonna be able to see his highlights,
you see his games instead of West Coast, and he
could be playing in playoff games.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Yes, Mark, I think also people have him been saying
blue Jays, dark Horse, and so now people are kind
of like, oh, I guess the blue Jays are Yeah,
the Drake effect.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I think it's more a people want to be right
of facts. Yeah, yeah, that's what I called. Yeah, I
told you, I told as, I told you Friday.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
That's where he was going. Yeah, you know I'm here
dark Horse.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, the Patriots did the wrong thing.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
They won last night.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
They're now three and ten and dropping out of the
mix I think for the top two picks right now.
And the Steelers they were seven and four two weeks ago,
they're now seven and six. All the Patriots have the
second pick still, so they they could afford another win,
and that sounds strange. You guys gonna have one more
(02:41):
win and then that's it. You don't want to be
losing out on one of those two top draft picks.
But the Steelers now seven and six after losing those
two games at home to bad teams. Pacers over the Bucks,
Lakers dominate the Pelicans the Ncason Tournament. Say good morning
to those watching on Peacock. Download the app if you
haven't done so, and pick up a batch of the
(03:03):
Tailgate Moonshine. It's peppermint bark, just in time for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It tastes great.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
We'll talk to Rob grin Katlski in about twenty minutes
from now. We bring in Brandal Shamblee, Golf Channel leads
studio analyst. The level of surprise when you heard that
John Rahm was defecting to the live tour not high
at all.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I mean, the rumors have been rampant for a couple
of weeks. So if you go by the rumors, not
at all. But if you go by his comments what
over the last year and a half or so, where
he was where he was adamant that he wouldn't leave
for Live, that he had pledged his fealty to the
PGA Tour and said it wouldn't even be smart thing
for him to do at this point in his career.
(03:46):
I'd say there are a lot of people that were
surprised that weren't keeping up with the rumors as of late.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Why is the Live Tour still acquiring golfers and somebody
for five hundred million dollars, I guess.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
After the proposed merger and the wording in it that
didn't allow them to recruit players or poach from either
side by both parties, the Department of Justice their Anti
Trust division where they were concerned about the wording in it,
and so both parties got rid of that wording which
opened the door. But really I think the reason to
(04:20):
Live did this was it was more reminder of the
PGA Tour who was recruiting private equity over the last
couple of months, and that was well known. I think
more than anything, it was just a reminder to the
PGA Tour of who really still had the hammer, you know,
lives in the more dominant position here. They've got thirty
(04:40):
two trillion dollars worth of oil underneath that saying, and
they're not going anywhere. I've said before after the initial merger,
and I tried to get my arms around it, Dan.
You know once once I got to a point where
I thought I understood it well enough. I thought, and
I said this that the second worst thing that could
(05:01):
happen to the PGA Tour was if this merger went through.
And the worst thing that could happen to the PGA
Tour was it this merger didn't go through.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Boy, Yeah, well I'm wondering if John Rahm got to
the point where it's like, all right, there might be
a merger. They're gonna pay me five hundred million dollars
or whatever. The PGA Tour kind of went behind our
back to try to do this merger. I was a
good soldier with Rory and fought for the PGA Tour,
(05:31):
and now I can't turn down this money. And everybody
else has kind of taken the slings and arrows before
him that he can sort of go there, But I mean,
does that sound logical in your mind?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Absolutely. I think the whole, well not the whole, but
a lot of the professional golf world has kind of
got something like the Stockholm syndrome with live now, and
I think it can go right back. He pointed to
the absolute right spot. After that June sixth proposed merger,
I feel like a lot of people that were defending
(06:06):
the PGA Tour, thinking they were on the right side
of it, changed their position. They felt like they had
been betrayed. They lost trust in the PGA towards Zach Johnson,
the captain of the Ryder Cup team, even picked Brooks Koepka,
who had not qualified for the Ryder Cup, to be
on the Ryder Cup team. So I think sort of
(06:26):
the trickle down theory of the PGA Tour seemed to
be doing business with people that they had previously harshly criticized,
opened the door to everybody to make a move something like.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
This, What is golf going to look like?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
What's the PGA Tour going to look like in two years.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Three years?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Well, I hope to live the deal goes through. Now
it's obvious the best thing for the PGA Tour, and
if it goes through, it remains to be seen whether
Live lives or not. If it doesn't, it looks like
rom was the strategic play that Lived needed to make
to bring this merger together because each side has something
(07:10):
the other side wants. Obviously, the PGA Tour would like
an infusion of money, but Live looks at the PGA
Tour and that what they see is a seat at
the table. Legitimacy, legacy, every one of the fifty million
golfers in the world knows about the history of the
(07:32):
PGA Tour. They have the respect and recognition of commercial entities,
broad commercial entities, whereas there's a lot of pushback for
Saudi Arabia involvement in some of those avenues. So Saudi
Arabia gets an immediate seat at the table and the
respect and recognition of partnering with the single best golf
(07:57):
entity in the world. So they both have some that
they want. So if it if it comes together, I
think golf is better off. If it doesn't, then you're
going to have this never ending competition between Live and
the PGA Tour, which you know, sadly it's hard to
imagine how LIV loses here. The governor of Live is
(08:17):
Yasser al Ramian, who is well educated, very clever, very charming,
and can be quite intimidating, and he loves golf.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm talking to Brande Chamblie, Golf Channel lead studio analyst.
If you had a Cameron Rory McElroy yesterday when he
heard the news, what do you think of what looked
like or sounded like him?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
He probably shook his head, you know. But I listened
to Rory's remarks yesterday and I thought they were spot on.
You know, he said he's going to miss competing against
John Rahm. He said that, you know, he's immensely talented.
All those things you know, no doubt are true. I'm
gonna miss watching John Rom play. But I heard I
(09:01):
heard people and I read people who said that this
was devastating to the PGA tour. I think that's hyperbole.
It would be devastating if Tiger went to live. It
would be devastating, if Rory went to live. It'd be devastating,
if Jordan Speith went to live. I just listened to
the pole. Question answered by your audience, eighty eight percent
(09:24):
not really interested in rom going to live. The fact
is there are very few golfers in the world that
move the needle and compel people to buy a ticket
just to go see them, very through, very few. You
asked the executives that run golf around the world, and
it is Tiger, Rory and Jordan Speed. Before Phil left,
it was philed, But there's Brooks kept it, There's DJ,
(09:46):
there's Phil, there's Campus Smith. All of those stars didn't
compel or galvanized audiences to watch live last year. So
I agree with your audience eighty eight percent of your audience.
I don't think Rob's going to have a huge impact
on galvani people to watch a product that is inferior.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, why don't they play four rounds?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I mean that's stupid, Dan, Why don't they play four rounds?
Why don't they have a qualified school, a feed or tour.
Why don't they have a cut All of those things
would give more legitimacy to the events absolutely than them
buying these stars. Absolutely, they would have the best players.
You know, for the PGA Tour to compete with Live,
(10:28):
they would have to bring in private equity. This is
the pickle they're in because they'd have to bring in
private equity to lock up players sign them to contracts.
But private equity, unlike the Saudis, would want to make
a profit, so they wouldn't sign these players for these
huge contracts. The Saudis are playing the long game, and
they're trying to diversify their economy, and they're looking several
(10:50):
decades down the road where they absolutely are desperate to
diversify their economy. So they'll lose in the early goings
of this to gain in the long term private equity.
But he's never going to make a deal like that,
So live per hand here in the negotiations.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Before I let you go this roll back with the
golf ball. I was watching the DP World Golf Tour
and there was an amateur who hit a drive four
hundred and ten yards and devers downhill, but everybody else
was hitting like three forty three. He still hit it
sixty yards past everybody. Five percent doesn't mean anything to
these players. Percent means something to me. If you want
(11:29):
to really make an impact, roll that ball back twenty
percent and then maybe maybe they get back to playing
these golf courses the way they're meant to be playing.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Your thoughts, well, you know, the number of professional golfers
in the world is ten thousand. Roughly speaking, there's fifty
million golfers. That equates to point zero zero zero three
percent of the golfers that play the game at the
highest level, and a very small percentage of them hit
at three hundred plus yards. Certainly, they don't carry at
(12:00):
The average carrier on the PGA Tour this year was
two hundred and eighty four yards. So the USG and
the RNA are making a decision that will hurt ninety
eight ninety nine percent of the golfers in that they
will have to absorb the cost of the R and
D of this new golf ball. Professional golfers don't pay
for golf balls, and they will to your point, Dan,
(12:23):
they will so quickly recoup this lost distance of this
golf ball. They'll do it like that. They will literally
do it like that. You look at the distance gage,
huge distance gates that Padrick Harrington made it forty nine
years old, Phil Micholson made it forty nine years old,
Stuart Sing made it forty nine years old, Cameron to
Gollie made and scores of others. You look at those
(12:44):
huge distance gains and they will be compelled to do that. Meanwhile,
you me, we will all lose five ten yards or
so on every t shot and almost every single approach shot.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, I didn't have that five or ten to lose, Brandle,
I didn't either.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
I didn't either.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
I could hear my balls land almost.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Great to talk to you again and thanks for joining us, Bud.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Always a pleasure, Dan, Take care.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Randall Shambly Golf Channel leads studio analyst. I thought he
was composed. I thought he might be a little more
fire and brimstone. Maybe it's just all right whatever. A
couple of phone calls here Brian in South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Hi, Brian, Heydan, how are you doing? Hey, Bud.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
I think that Booger and RG three are missing a
one component and I really appreciate your transparency, always transparent, consisting.
So I want to ask you a question. Where'd you
have FSU after Jordan Travis went down? After he went
down immediately from the next two to three weeks, where
would you have put FSU in the top twenty five.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't do rankings, but I did say that the
College Football Playoff Committee made a mistake by keeping them
in the top four. When he went down. I thought,
you haven't. You have them at five and then there's
a chance they get in. When you have them at four,
that's when people have a problem, Like now you're going
to take them out. You know, they didn't lose a game,
(14:13):
they didn't look good.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I'd like to have seen their backup quarterback have a
chance to do something you know, legendary, historical, lead them
into a national title, national title game.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But if you're saying the best teams and I know
I keep repeating myself, and I'm going to continue because
it's one I believe. When somebody asked me, then I'll
tell you. You can't tell me Florida State today is
better than Georgia.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You just can't now.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Alabama's in because they won Washington has been a great
team start to finish, and they have a Heisman finalist,
and they have a great wide receiver. And Texas might
be the best team in football right now. I just
Georgia has a beef in my opinion, back to back
national titles, won twenty nine in a row, lost to
Alabama on a neutral side by three.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yah.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Is there a certain like naivete with the Hey, Florida
State's undefeated, they should get in.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, yes, it feels that.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Okay, it's just not the reality. It's just not the
way that it works.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
And is it unfair, Yeah, absolutely, but that's not the
way that college football is not set up to be fair.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, there's nothing fair about college football. There's never been
anything fair about college football. I mean there's certain schools
that stayed up for a variety of reasons. Recruiting edge Paola,
I mean a lot of things here, hoarding all the
great players, not letting other teams have these players, keeping
(15:52):
them for at least three years. You can't transfer, you'd
have to sit out a year. I mean, there's nothing
fair about it. We would like to understand the rules. Well,
nobody wrote down the rules. That's why when you have
thirteen people, it's open to interpretation. And that's all this was.
They And the analogy I use is if Roger Goodell
(16:16):
could somehow say the winner of the NFC South is
not going to host a playoff game, then he would
do it.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
He can't.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
The committee had the opportunity to say, we need teams
that are going to believe their team can win. They'll
travel to the bowl game, maybe two bowl games, and
that these are representative of the best teams in college
football and the games are going to be competitive.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yes, bo one thing that did bother me.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
After Florid Day got pulled out of the playoffs, there
were some analysts, not us, but some that said Florida
State can't win the national title. Florida State can't beat
Michigan around one.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't like that.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
Don't go that extremely say it's unlikely because Jordan Travis
is out. But Florida State, their defense could pitch a shutout.
Michigan's not a high flying scoring team. They actually matched
up pretty well against Michigan. We didn't say anything like that.
We didn't say Florida State couldn't be Michigan. We said
their chances are much less likely because of the Travis injury.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, I never say no. I say low, like the percentage,
you know, a low chance. But they do have a chance.
They would have a chance. That defense is wonderful And
I have nothing against Florida State. People think this is personal.
It's personal to you, not to me. My job is
just to sort through this stuff, to talk to people,
to talk to a source, you know. And they gave me,
(17:34):
you know, sort of the backdrop of how this came
to be.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah, Marv, and I think Florida State just caught a
bad break because if this was last year, they would
have been in, or if it was the year before
they would have been in, they would have been in
before Cincinnati and TCU.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
They just caught a bad break this year. I think
that was it.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
All Right, we'll take a break. Rob Grinkowski will join us. Also,

he's got his own bowl game. Rob won for Super
Bowl three with New England, one with Tampa Bay, and
the Grunk Bowl. Actually it's called the La Bowl hosted
(19:07):
by Gronk. It's Sofi Stadium. That'll be UCLA, Boise State, Mo,
Easy State. On December sixteenth. Gronk joins us. Now, ooh,
look at the backdrop there. He got a lot of
fun things in the office there. What's the coolest thing
you have there?
Speaker 11 (19:24):
I had The best thing in my office, I would say,
is definitely the three New England Patriots Super Bowl replica trophies.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
They're not the real Vince.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
Lombardi trophies, but they're replicas. And it's the three that
I won with New England and the one I won
with Tampa is down in my crib down in Florida,
so it's definitely the best thing in here. Every time
someone comes through my house, a friend or family member,
whoever it is, they're always in awe whenever they.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
See these trophies, and they always ask is this.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The real one?
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:56):
And I my con second player acting, And then they
work for the dent. Damn. They look for the dent. Oh,
this isn't the real one.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
So I got to put a dent in the one
that that has the dent over at the Patriots Hall
of Fame. But then I trick and I'm like, they're
not the real one. Uh, it's they're just replicause, but
they love them.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
When's the last time you talked to Brady?
Speaker 11 (20:17):
I actually talked to him yesterday and he sent me
some highlights of us in the playoffs, which was really
cool because, uh, I actually saw some highlights of us
on Instagram about two weeks ago, and I was like, dang,
we were legit.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
And wait, wait did you forget?
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I kind of forgot, you know.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
I'm so busy running around doing all the stuff, doing
the analysts for Fox and stuff, and wow, when I
see the highlights, man I think we're we're the top dogs.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Man.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
No one did it better than us. I swear man,
we were on fire, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Okay, Kelsey and Mahomes.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
They're legit.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
Then you know, you can't take away anything from home.
But you know, I think Brady and Ground just sounds
a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Man, It has a better But if.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It was a fight, an actual fistfight, you and Brady
versus Mahomes and Kelsey, Oh my.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Gosh, oh man.
Speaker 11 (21:12):
Everyone always tries to compare us, you know, us two
percent to her Travis versus myself, and everyone always takes
a different angle.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
But all right, I'm gonna answer. I mean, you asked,
so you know, I think we'll take him down. I
think we'll win.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I mean, hey, but it's Tom a good fighter.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
Weird. Hey, Tom's a dog. Tom's a dog.
Speaker 11 (21:31):
And you know something, I saw what he said on
his podcast the other day with Ladanian Tomlinson. Yeah, I
got up. You know, he said it this way. I
wasn't a I got up from every single hit.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
And I gotta agree with that.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
And uh, you know, the rule starts softening a little
bit at the right time for Tom Brady when he
started going into his thirties, thirty five years old, into
his forties, so it helped him out tremendously. The plate
about forty five years old. But I've seen some crazy,
crazy highlights Tom Brady when he was twenty four years old,
twenty five, and he absolutely got lit up any quarterback
(22:08):
I've ever seen in my life. And I'm sitting there like, damn, Tom,
I didn't know you used to take hits like this,
and he got off every single time.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
So you got to give him that credit. Man.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, I go back to that Super Bowl with the
Giants grunk and I was on the sidelines watching that
he and I remember Straighthand telling me he never had
more respect for Brady than after that Super Bowl with
the punishment they gave him. And he never ever complained.
Speaker 11 (22:32):
That's one hundred percent true. And every injury that Tom
ever had to he's never complained.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
He always found a way to get back.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
Out on the practice field the next day or to
continued practice. For example, when he ripped open his hand
before the Jacksonville game, the AFC Championship game, I don't know,
six years ago or whatever it was, I saw it happen.
I mean a screamed like a moflaw. That's for sure
because it won.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I mean, you ripped her freaking whole thumb open. But
let me tell you it didn't hold him down. He
was out there for the game, so nothing holds him down.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Man.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
The guy's a warrior, and so if you're ever in
a battle with him, you know he's going to keep
battling until you freaking knock him out or freaking demolish him.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
So you know he's gonna keep fighting for you, that's.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
For sure, Lynch. Lunchtime you talked to Belichick.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
Was actually on Tom's podcast when he retired, so everything.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Has to go back to Tom. So I was on
top of whatever the.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
Podcast he does on Serious XCM, and then.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
He was having everyone come on here, Peyton Manny, come on,
and then.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
I started making fun of Tom with Peyton Manny saying,
Tom Richter plays off of you, Peyton Manny, that's why we.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Were so successful.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
And then all of a sudden, Coach Baalichack came on
too at the same time, and then we just started
bantering back and forth.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
It was great interaction, man, it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
He's robed.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Grinkowski won four Super Bowls and he is the host
of the LA bul It'll be at so fights UCLA
Boys Stick. Okay, how did this happen? And what's your
role in the bull game once starts?
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Yeah, so it kind of happened.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
I mean, they had Jimmy Kimmel as a host the
last two years, and it was the first two years
the LA Bowl was established, and then you know, his
contract or whatever expired and then they're moving on to
you know, find an athlete, and they hit up my team,
they hit up my management and asked if I would be,
you know, interested in hosting the LA Bowl. And right
(24:24):
when I heard about the LA Ball and.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
If I was interested, it definitely clicked.
Speaker 11 (24:28):
And you want to know why I clicked because it
was the bowl game that I last played, my last
game at the University of Arizona.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
At with my brother Chris.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
And that game was actually in Las Vegas at the time,
it was the Las Vegas Bowl, but it was a
fifth place Pac tenn See versus the first place.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Mountain West Sea.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
So that conference matchup has now moved to LA the
last two years, so it's technically the last bowl game
I played. Willie Tatama over three hundred yards my brother
Chris up the middle for about a thirty yard touchdown
off play.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
We beat BYU by ten.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
Points I think, and they were ranked number seventeen in
the country at the time. So it was my last
college football game. I didn't score a touchdown. I didn't
have that good of a game, but we won. It
was the first time Arizona was in a ballgame in
ten years. We won the bowl game as well. So
right when that click, wow, I get the host of ballgame.
That was my last college game and we won that
ball game. That's a no brainer. I'm all in, let's
(25:23):
do it.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
That's cool. That's cool. Are you singing the anthem?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (25:27):
And I will be seeing the national anthem as well.
We're gonna have dance off and I'll be playing. But Dan,
I'm not seeing the national anthem by myself. So I
was with them and I sung the national anthem to
them and they all started plugging their ears. I was
doing that at the moment, and John Adaman goes bro,
let me take ten more shots of tequila and then I'm.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Going to practice.
Speaker 11 (25:52):
I got the words down, but I'm also singing rude directions.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Veterans choir.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
Okay, so since it of men and women who have served,
probably in the United States military.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
So I'll be singing with them.
Speaker 11 (26:08):
So I have a little backup behind me, so you know,
I don't you know, so it looks they're making me
look good.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
That's basically what.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Can we do?
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Just a sample?
Speaker 7 (26:17):
I man, my throat hurts.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Let's just give you.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
I'm just give you the first line. Oh say, there
we go?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Okay, first words. Okay, here's the key. It's to be
in the right key when you start. Don't start up
too high or you're going to have a Carl Lewis
moment where you get up way too high and you
can't come back down.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Start out low.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
Oh say can you see?
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Oh man, damn, I'm going to need you to sing
it with me as well.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
No, no, no, that'll be guilt by association. I want
you to do it yourself and let you stand out.
I don't want any blame if it doesn't go well.
Speaker 11 (26:54):
I'm going to ask them if I can sing the
last line by myself, like, have the choir just totally
and then I hit the last line.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
The crowd they would go crazy.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
When's the last time you hit somebody.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
Oh man, oh man, hit somebody.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
I mean I would say the last game, I would say, like, actually,
hit hit somebody.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
You do you miss? Do you miss contact?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (27:28):
No, not really, man, I've been having contact my whole life,
ever since I was four years old with my brothers
in the basement playing ministick hockey. There's actually home videos
of us Christmas Eve and my mom's filming and all
of a sudden, there's such a big hit. I probably
went flying to the ground, stitches all on his face.
I'm the one who leveled him. He's going to the hospital.
So like, hitting's been in my culture in my life
(27:52):
since I was a young kid. But man, I don't
really miss it that much anymore. I love activities. I
love I love the sports where there's.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Not more contact. Car hall, But I got hit enough
in my life.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
What was your second best sport.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
I would say I would go with I would say
baseball all the way up until I was about fourteen
years old, and then I started declining big time because
I think I started lifting and getting too big.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
I couldn't really swing that much anymore.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
But then basketball was my second favorite to play in
high school because it was just like We had such
a great atmosphere at our school. We had a crowd
called the Green Squall, and they would just calm and
harrass the other team the whole time. They would go
crazy if I dunked the ball. So basketball was a
lot of fun in high school.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I'm glad you're doing well.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
And it's weird how people keep they push athletes or
asking when you're going to retire, when you're going to retire,
and then you retire, and then they say when are
you going to come back? It felt like now you're
past that moment that people aren't asking you on a
semi regular basis of hey, would you come Bennick No, I.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
Would say the first time I retired, and I got
it basically every single day wherever I went. And then
I would say the second time I retired, which was
over wow, like a year ago or whatever.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
I still got it a lot. I think it as much, and.
Speaker 11 (29:10):
Now I still get it like probably like once a week,
maybe once every other week, but it's not at a
consistent basis anymore like it was before.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
It was like every day. Man, So it's I'm glad
I'm passing that.
Speaker 11 (29:21):
I'm glad it's not every single day because it kind
of gets annoying. You're trying to do something and someone
just asked you out of nowhere when you're coming back,
you know, So that's in the past now and just
moving on the dub I would say, I want to
say the bigger, better things, because playing football is big
and it's awesome to play football, but I'm moving on
the great things like hosting the LA Ball, I'm doing
(29:42):
the Fox and Analyst stuff, so a lot of cool
things like that. Man, to keep me busy, because you
got to stay busy. Man, I like having my time off,
There's no doubt about it. I like having five days
doing whatever I want. But also, man, I got to
work as well, and staying busy is definitely a staple
to keep.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Me goingorried about you getting USAA insurance though, Grounk, I
don't think you're ever going to get it.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
I don't think I'm ever going to get it either.
Speaker 11 (30:07):
And I just jumped out of the plane when we
were at the Army Base when for the Fox pregame show,
when we did it at the not the Army Base
Air Force Base in Colorado, jumped out of a plane
with one of the Air Force guys. I had over
thirty five hundred jumps, so I felt very safe and
I was flipping and doing all that good stuff. I
landed and then all the cadets were there as well.
(30:28):
There was about two hundred of them, and they're all
asked me, does that get the USA.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
I'm like, hope it doesn't. And then the one he
was like, marry my sister.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
That man, We're going to another level now.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah. Good luck with the LA ball and thanks for
joining us.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Drunk Hey Dan.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
Thanks for having me Man December sixteenth, LA Bowl Boise
State for UCLA and I don't know who I'm.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Cheering for yet, Thanks Bud. Yes, thanks for having me
Man trum Grinkowski Seed.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I couldn't help, but halfway through the interview think you
were going to interrupt and go buffed up dead the
AU or us AA or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Boff Dad, how do I get that chance?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
And we're not quite sure if Gronk is putting us
on with the way he acts or that's just who
he is.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Boff Dad.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
Yes, I've always wondered if Gronk's like kind of a
generally break guy and just a big goofball and that
sometimes he plays it up for interviews like this, But
I think he's just a twelve year old who happens
to be the best tight end of all time?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Is he the best tight end of all time? At
certain points? But I think he's a harmless goofball.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, I think he's only what thirty four?
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Does that sound right? Is? Is Travis Kelsey older than Gronk?
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah? How about that one?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Boss Dad, here's a question for you. Yes, uh, Gronk
and Kelsey same ah? Who is going to make more
money in their deal? John Ram Or show heyo Tani? Well,
and I'm not talking about the average because ram is
(32:18):
supposed to be a three year maybe five hundred million,
but it's crazy. And then show he is going to
be a ten year deal for five hundred and fifty
or whatever. Who has more money coming to them with
their current deal? John Ramer Show, Heyo Tony?
Speaker 7 (32:35):
All right?

must win game of the weekend the M MW G O. G.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Todd. I'll start with you.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
I think the Cowboys and Dolls have to make a
statement against those Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
See no counter.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Last week, Dan, I had the forty nine ers at
Eagles must win game. This week it's Eagles Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
The Eagles must win this week. Mar what about you.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
I'm going with the Chiefs to stay aflow and the
playoff pitcher in AFC.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
They got to beat the Chiefs. Stole mine, PAULI.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
The Detroit Lions are nine to three. They're at the
Bears in a game they should win. They you know,
they need to win this to stay in the mix
for home field advantage. And the Packers are getting a
little better. Don't want to play with fire here. I
I was going to take Kansas City. They're a slight
favored against Buffalo, and I was talking to a very
(35:31):
sharp gambler yesterday and he does the Chicken Dinner podcast
and do we have.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Some of that mark you want to play it?
Speaker 13 (35:43):
First time I went out with Shaye, Oh, it was
the opening day of March Madness, which a Thursday. The
game start at eleven thirty in the morning. At five o'clock,
after how much boozing. Oh, he looks at me, puts
his armor on my neck.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
And says, all right, I got a bunce.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I got my daughter's birthday. That's right, dead serious.
Speaker 12 (36:05):

like two that day, and there's walked into the apartment.
It was a room full of people and they were like,
happy birthday, and I.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Was like, where the fuck am on?
Speaker 12 (36:15):
It was out of my mind. That's sorry, Drake. I
woke the bar tender up. Like at the bar, I
woke Hi up.
Speaker 13 (36:20):
You were banging on the last because the bar wasn't
open yet.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
That's true. Oh, that's a good day.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
Brother.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Dan Patrick takes a gamble. That's Sam who does the
Chicken Dinner podcast and also contributes to Nessen and he's
friends with Shay. Shay's back stateside from Austria. We lost
bad Larry Bad. Larry apparently was having surgery, phone off,
blood coming down his wrists, stitches, and uh, we didn't
(36:47):
care to follow up, like we like, we couldn't find him.
And then all of a sudden he sent a picture
and then we were like, all right, whatever the podcast is,
it's really entertained. What is the lead story on Monday? Todd,
I'll start with you.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'm gonna go how about them Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Okay, seating, It's definitely gonna be show Hay related, but
I still sticking with show Hay stays okay, he stays
in anah huh, he stays in anah wow. That would
be that'd be a shock.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Marvin chiefs now Bills beat the Chiefs, ok oh, okay, Paulie.
Speaker 9 (37:24):
As much as I like to pick the Pacers big
championship victory parade in the n season tournament with the Pacers, ah, whatever,
the result of the Eagles Cowboys will be the lead.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
I think it'll be O Tawny show Hey the money, Yeah,
how about not well received? Marvin gets the Heisman Trophy?
What No, He's not getting the Heisman.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
True.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
If he did, though, that would be the lead for sure.
Marvin Harrison Junior, the third, Austin and Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Austin, thanks for holding What can I do for you today?
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Third?
Speaker 14 (37:55):
Ten, long time six one two ten right like happy meat,
shout out more for the music Fridays. I love to
note that French dep looks fantastic. I got a couple
things on Lebron. I know you're on the tight schedule. Look,
I just want everybody to not take for granted what
we're seeing with the oldest player in the league right now.
It's never happened before, it'll never happen again. Just a
(38:17):
casual thirty five and eight on seventy five percent shooting
and he took three Georges DP. This man has a family. Look,
I'll leave you with this.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Dan.
Speaker 14 (38:28):
If Lebron wins on Saturday night, he'll do something Michael
Jordan never did, and that's leave Las Vegas with five
hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Line Wow, Wow him up and knock him down? Wow Ow.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Kurt and Colorado, Hi, Kurt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (38:48):
Hey, I'm not a longtime listener, but that's part of
my first question is when people say longtime listener, what's
the criteria like what's the cutoff for that? And then
second question I'm always wondering about, is it that sings
the salary song?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
No, No, that's a listener who sent that in. I
think he's from Wisconsin. It's not seating. Satan's not singing salary.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
I wish, yeah, I wish I had, but I'm not,
uh longtime listener. How long is long time for you, guys?
Dodd at least five years? Five plus a nice ring
to it. I'd say at least seven like a long time.
And I'd say ten, maybe closer to ten than five. Yeah, yeah,
I'd say so.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Five years feels like a long time to dedicate to something.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Though.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
This day in sports history.
Speaker 9 (39:36):
Oh, let's see, just got one for you here. Mario
Lemieux in two thousand returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the
first ever modern owner player in US sports. He was
thirty five years old. And oh we remember this one
in Michigan, five Indiana Pacers and seven fans were charged
for various crimes the fight for the Pacers Pistons game
on November nineteenth.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Then, yeah, we were in Columbus, Ohigo, Yeah, that night.
Tim Tebow won the Heisman on this day, Todd, would
you today.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Bill Belchi giving players nuts? We could actually understand what
he was saying, and he's the guest picker for Army.
Maybe a rereading the Twilight Zone or something.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Seaton Randall said, the best thing that could happen to
lift golf.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Is the PGA could go through. Not the same deal.
Marvin Pacers raised that banner, Pauli.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
USAA, Bucktead Fragger's all new flat rock flat top grill.
They got a lot of great things for the holidays.
They're up to twenty percent off select grills and fifteen
percent off success frees for military members and first responders.
