Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour in this Tuesday. Glad to have you on board.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the

Sterling Sharp Hall of Famer, will stop buying about twenty
minutes from now. Training camp issues still persist, certainly with
the Cowboys situation, the commanders, Terry McLaurin, the Bengals with

(00:31):
Trey Hendrickson and over the next ten days is where
it starts to get interesting to get ready for this season,
because you do need training camp. Players need the reps.
You need to go through the motion. See there's routines
that you go through just so you're ready to go.
I don't think you need to play in the preseason,

(00:53):
but I do think you need to be part of
the preseason.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
These guys are hold in so they're at least a
round the team, and I think that's the interesting part
with this with yet Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys rookie head coach,
wanted all of the players in uniform yesterday well, Michael
Parsons put on his uniform. He doesn't want to play elsewhere.
Michael Parsons wants to be a cowboy. He knows the

(01:20):
value and all this is is Jerry giving him a paycheck.
But I think with that should be an apology. Sounds
harsh for Jerry. But some of the things that were
said to Michael Parsons don't need to be said. Michael
Parsons isn't taking shots at Jerry Jones. He just said, hey,

(01:43):
I want to be paid fairly. I'm bringing my agent
into this. Jerry doesn't want to deal with the agent.
And why do I have an agent if you don't
want to deal with the agent. Well, Jerry thinks he
could probably get a better deal if it's just you
and me and we're just talking and hey, and this.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Is what I'm going to do, and then we'll do
that and I'll take care of you, okay, all right,
all right, Well Michael Parsons, this is business. Why why
would I not bring It'd be like going to a
golf course and saying I'm not going to bring my caddy,
I'm gonna carry my bag, I'm gonna read my putts.
This is what you're paying him for to help you

(02:21):
in this situation with one of the shrewd negotiators, Jerry Jones. Yes,
Jerry doesn't want to deal with agents. I think he's
acted like he doesn't even know the agent's name. Okay, hey,
Michael Parsons got hurt last year. I could get hit
by a car. I mean, we don't need to say
any of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
But does it get done? Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I don't think Michael Parsons wants to be traded. I
don't think Jerry Jones wants to trade him. Terry McLaurin,
I don't know that situation well enough. You know, you
got new Newish ownership in there just feels like it's
a feel good everything that happened, and then you have
this the Bengals situation. You know, we kind of know

(03:07):
how that ownership is. Feels like it's still going to
get done. It's just at what price. And I'm talking
not only monetarily but also morale wise. Like this is
where now you've got players on the Cowboys who are
publicly saying, you know what, they're backing up Micah Parsons.
You just you don't unless it's us against him and

(03:30):
Jerry does it. Jerry wants to be one of the guys.
That's why he's in the locker room. That's why you know,
he's so close to being the quarterback of this team,
the coach of this team. And that's the that's the
price that I wonder about. This is about, you know,
let's come together on this. Let's all be together, because
you can you can have a you can fracture your

(03:51):
locker room with things like this and small things that
carry into the regular season and then you never recover
from that. You're a team that to achieves you're over
unders eight and a half. If all goes well, maybe
you're a ten win team this year. But you do
need Michael Parsons the Commanders if you're going to challenge
again and prove that last year wasn't a fluke.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
You need Terry McLaurin.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
And if you're the Bengals and you're going up against
the Ravens and improved Steeler team, you're going to need
Trey Hendrickson, and you're going to need even more than
just Trey Hendrickson. But that's where we are with some
of these issues. And then you got Matthew Stafford with
the sore back, and it feels like it's day to day.
Maybe it's been week to week, but I think over

(04:34):
the next ten days, then all of a sudden it
becomes a little bit more of a concern. Jimmy Garoppolo
is the backup quarterback. Sometimes when you have these press
conferences in preseason training camp, you'll get coaches up there,
players up there, and they'll say something interesting. And sometimes
you'll get somebody who gets up there and says something.

(04:55):
You go, wait a minute, what, here's Dolphin's head coach,
Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yesterday, you should stand correct at good, bring false, great morning,
let's go, because we're another day closer to death.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Play it again.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
You should stand corrected, good, bring false, great morning, Let's
go because we're another day closer to death.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
So what makes this great? Another day closer to death? Yes, dad?

Speaker 7 (05:41):
And what makes that funny other than the coach said something?

Speaker 8 (05:43):
So we all have to giggle because we don't know
how to take that.

Speaker 9 (05:45):
I have.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
I have no idea, truly, not quite sure.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
But Mike McDaniel went to Yale, so maybe that's uh,
you know, Yale type human. Hey, it's fun. He's entertaining
when he goes to the press conference. He is eight
seven seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle at DP show ended last hour. Marvin had
a question basically, it was an answer from Richard Jefferson,

(06:12):
former NBA player. He was asked about who's the best
player to never win an NBA title, and he said
Carl Malone. And he started to bring in Charles Barkley.
I wouldn't put him in there because of the off
the court issues, and that's the wrong way to answer
the question. It should be about basketball. You want to
talk basketball, fine. The problem with Carl Malone when I

(06:35):
you know, and being fortunate to have been there when
they went to the NBA finals, he never really had
a highlight. Like when you say, show me all the
great Carl Malone highlights, chances are it's a pick and
pop or it's a fast break where Stockton bounced past
him alone and a dunk.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
And this is a guy who's one of the greatest
scores in his the game. But you look back and
you go, how many signature moments did you have there
with a highlight? And we love our highlights, you know,
it's a highlight society, certainly playing in the era with
Michael Jordan, but Karl Malone is kind of like Tim
Duncan from the standpoint of efficient. Tim Duncan doesn't have

(07:22):
great highlights, like, hey, how about that bank shot that's
pretty good? Hey how about that rebound that outlet. These
are guys who just didn't have highlights. Great players just
didn't have highlights.

Speaker 10 (07:38):
Yes, marm Yeah, there's certain guys like for me, Chris
Webber is a guy that has tons of highlights, but
he wasn't more efficient than Tim Duncan or Karl Malone.
So it's almost like white chocolate guys that are super entertaining,
but they're not a better point guard than John Stockton.
What John Stockton highlight do you have?

Speaker 2 (07:56):
That's a Chris bounce pass? That's it?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh No, he did hit one big sh Remember he
beat the Rockets at the buzzer to go to.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
The NBA Finals. I would say that, but I.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Mean there's something about doing it without the fanfare and
the highlights. But in today's world, how we consume we
consume it's called highlights. You imagine trying to and when
I was doing sports Center'd be like, uh, Oh, Utah won.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
They won eleven in a row. What's the highlight going
to be?

Speaker 10 (08:27):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, Olden Polonies, Baseline Jumper, uh stocked into Malone and
then uh stocked into Malone and then Mark Eaton with
a blode. I go okay, and those are your Utah
Jazz highlights?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, Paulin.

Speaker 11 (08:45):
If you showed highlights of Carl Malone as someone who
didn't know sports and then showed him Sean Camp highlights,
you to oh, that.

Speaker 12 (08:51):
Guy's going to the Hall of Fame. The guys above
the rim all the time.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Uh okay, A couple of them calls in here, Chazz
and Grand Rapids, Hi, Chazz.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
What's on your mind today?

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Dan?

Speaker 8 (09:05):
Five ten one ninety. You were talking about some great announcers.
We all know who the greatest is you, but I'd
like to bring up Keith Jackson.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Nellie, oh Nelly.

Speaker 8 (09:20):
Love listening to him as a kid.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
I was watching the bo Jackson thirty for thirty last night.
Auburn is playing Alabama and Keith Jackson's voice you can
just hear it in the distance and it was awesome.
He you have certain voices with certain sports and college football,
was Keith Jackson David in Phoenix, Hi David, what's on

(09:46):
your mind today?

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Hi Dan? Hey?

Speaker 7 (09:49):
With you helping and recommending to the NFL, all these
contributors get into the Hall of Fame. Who is going
to push the NFL and have your back to get
you into the Hall of Fame as a recommender.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
So my contributions to the game or the contributions to
the contributions of the game, Thank you, David. But no,
I don't belong in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
You know, you have great broadcasters, you know, did games
had journalists. I'm glad that they get the opportunity to
be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame or consideration.

(10:26):
But how great is it that we can say something
on the show and the Pro Football Hall of Fame
listens And they did listen for John Facenda, They truly did,
and I heard immediately from them. And then you know,
I've mentioned a couple other people, and certainly with Brent Musberger,

(10:46):
and I appreciate that because if I'm the voice of
a different generation to not forget these people, great, I'll
serve that role for the next two and a half years.
Auto in Atlanta, what's on your mind?

Speaker 13 (11:02):
Hey, guys, how are you going on the top of
a contribution to the game for the NFL.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I can't think of anybody else. And Chris Berman, I
mean just him.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
I'm saying he's in auto He's in Oh.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Well, okay, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 14 (11:16):
That's good to hear.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yes, and Chris should be in doing those highlights on
Sunday Prime Time, him and Tom Jackson.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
It was great. Eric in Salt Lake. Hi, Eric, what's
on your mind today?

Speaker 14 (11:31):
Five eleven?

Speaker 9 (11:32):
A hard hard So in terms of the Hall of Fame,
I just wanted to rewind the conversation back to baseball
really quick, and the Pete Rose conversation. It almost feels
like a disservice to his legacy to put him in
at this point, just because there's like a mystique there.
There's this excitement there. It's like, this was the great

(11:54):
Pete Rose, the uneligible, and I think to put him
in at this point kind of takes away from the
sexiness of all that. And for a sport that's trying
to capture a different generation's imagination, it's cool to have
legends and heroes like that.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
All right, Look, if they you want to put him
in the Hall of Fame. Put him in the Hall
of Fame.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's a museum.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
How many other museums do you go in and you go, oh,
look at that sculpture of that Roman Empire?

Speaker 2 (12:22):
What were his stats?

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh? Oh, he killed his brother and then okay, well
you've got a statue there. I don't know if we
do that. It's a museum. You imagine if we did
this in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Off
off the stage issues here, performance hancing drugs.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, yeah, See that's a crazy.

Speaker 15 (12:46):
Thing about going to a place like Rome where you
can just be just driving around the city. You don't
even have to look for anything, and you'll see a
sign for saying, oh, let me look that up, and
you're like, oh, this is Nero's palace that he had
when he sat and watched the city burn with a
fire that he set and then he just sat up
on this hill and watched the whole city burn.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
You're like, oh, my gosh, this is the thing here.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
But if you want to have Pete in the Hall
of Fame, or at least put him on the ballot, great,
I don't want him. I know why he's going in posthumously.
If that happens. You know, the commissioner got pressure from
President Trump, and as soon as I heard it, I
said that Pete will get his opportunity to be on
the ballot. He will be whether he gets in, and

(13:29):
you know that'll be up to the voters. But it's
it's a museum. If you want to put him in,
tell the music, tell the whole story. It's the same
thing with Barry Bonds or Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa. They
were part of baseball. Not a good part of baseball
in some portions of their career, but they were part

(13:50):
of baseball. Tell the whole story. If you can tell
the story of baseball, you can. You can have some
you know, bad people in there, or people who cheated
the game. It's part of the game. It's the museum
of Major you know, Major League Baseball.

Speaker 11 (14:07):
Yeah, Paul also made it a lot easier that Pete
Rose is no longer alive, with the commissioner to put
him on the ballot, or because he's not going to
give a speech, he'll have he would have no control
over Pete Rose. If Pete would have been able to
give a speech at Hall of Fame weekend.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, I agree. I think I think Baseball they could
have they could have done. This is the Hall of Fame.
If the Hall of Fame wants Pete on the ballot,
the Baseball Hall of Fame can put him on the ballot.
But they don't want to do something that's not in
conjunction with the commissioner and the writers. But I have

(14:42):
no problem going into that museum. And if you said,
there's Pete Rose, and he's a Hall of Famer, but
it tells the whole story.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Of Pete Rose.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Okay, I get you know, the purity, the sanctity, the morality,
all of that. You know, and and and look, I
I was leading to charge, you can't put in steroid guys. Okay,
you can. There might be a few steroid guys in
there already. They're not all great people. But Pete did

(15:14):
win more games than anybody, had more hits than anybody.
I mean, all the things that Pete did as a player,
I can't knock that. The other stuff I can. And yes,
he did gamble. And do I think he gambled as
a player.

Speaker 13 (15:31):
I do.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
You don't just start as a manager. But if you
don't have any concrete evidence judging him for who he was.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
As a baseball player and put him in.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
You know, when somebody says, well, Bonds was a Hall
of Famer before he started using performance enhancing drugs, you don't.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Divvy it up.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
You don't divvy up the career and say, oh, okay, well,
then it doesn't matter that he cheated later in his career.
Like that's silly. Roger Clemens was a Hall of Famer before.
We've gone down this road many many, many times. A
Hall of Famer. It's the totality of your career. Are
you a Hall of Famer? Sort of No, you're either

(16:12):
a Hall of Famer or you're not as a player.
Roger Clemens, performance enhancing drugs, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael
pal Merrow Bonds. They don't deserve Alex Rodriguez. But if
you want to put them in and tell their story, great,
but don't say they were a Hall of Famer earlier
in their career.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yes, Marv.

Speaker 10 (16:34):
The only issue I have is the same baseball writers
that don't put Barry Bonds in the Hall of Fame
voted for him for MVP four straight years when his
head size was different, when he was lighted up.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Thank you, Mark, take a break here.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
I think Sterling Sharp is going to join us next
year on the program back after this.

Speaker 1 (16:58):

know that was possible. He's the freshly minted Hall of
Famer Sterling Sharp, the former Packer wide receiver. How does

(17:19):
that happen that you forget about us yesterday? When you
kept saying, hey, I'm there for you.

Speaker 14 (17:25):
I was there for you in spirit.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh your Yeah, Now you're a Hall of Famer and
uh lois song.

Speaker 14 (17:34):
No, I would never blow my guy up. You know
what you are.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
You know I do. Go ahead say it, No, man,
do not make me say it. Okay, what do you
got on there?

Speaker 2 (17:53):
What are you wearing?

Speaker 14 (17:54):
My brothers our logo for eighty eighty four?

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Oh, I'm sorry?

Speaker 14 (18:00):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (18:01):
The four out the four? Is the four is a
little bigger?

Speaker 14 (18:05):
Yes, that's what we wanted eighty four, not for it,
that is Yet, Keep up, Dan, keep up?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Why did it take so long for you to get
into the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 14 (18:18):
I honestly don't know, and I don't think it took
long enough. I think I could have waited another two
hundred years. Dan, I didn't play football to get into
the Hall of Fame. I played football because I loved
the game. And you know, I wasn't waiting. You know,
me and you were playing a lot of golf while
I wasn't in the Hall of Fame back in the day.

(18:39):
So I was just golfing my ball, enjoying myself.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Was there ever a point where you thought I'm not
going to get in.

Speaker 14 (18:48):
No, there was never a point where I thought I
would get in or wouldn't get in. I never thought
about it. I just I never thought about it because
you know, the thing is is I played, and I
played really well. For me, I enjoyed how I played,
what I put on film, the people I played with,
and that was enough for me. So I never, you know,

(19:09):
wanted to have an advocate for me to you know,
push the envelope or remind them that I'm out here. No,
I just I did what I wanted to do, and
I was enjoying being at the Hall of Fame. In
twenty eleven, when my brother would take me back to
the injury, which part the part that we found out

(19:31):
in high school, and I could have played one play
or I could still be playing. The worst episode on
the field was probably against the Atlanta Falcons, but I
had had twenty thirty episodes over the years based on
you know, my vertebrae and my spine were getting real
close together, laying on the field, having Andre rise and

(19:54):
make me laugh, and my friend teammate from South Carolina,
Brad Edwards over to make sure I was okay. There's
a lot of moving parts to my injury, Dan, And
the thing was is there was only two people that
were happier than me when my career ended, and that
was the two doctors that said I should never play
football again.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Oh well, but if you played now, there's nothing there's
no technology that if you got this injury now would
have enabled you to continue to play.

Speaker 14 (20:27):
Well. The thing is is my neck at the time
it got fixed, was probably stronger than anyone else's neck.
International Football League. But you're talking about life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, and you have to ask yourself,
am I willing to take that chance? You know? Am
I willing to go out there and have everything in
this fusion? Do I want to put it to the test.

(20:50):
I didn't. I did. Like you know, if I felt
like I left something, then I probably would have tried
to continue to play. But I didn't. I didn't leave
anything in football. I didn't. I did what I wanted
to do. A lot of people are having a hard
time with that statement. I did what I wanted to do,

(21:10):
which was just play. Not play in a super Bowl,
not be a Hall of Famer, not be an All
Pro player, not lead the league in said category. I
just wanted to play, and I got to do that
for seven years, and that was good enough for me.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
What was your first thoughts when you laid eyes on
Brett Favre.

Speaker 14 (21:30):
I had seen Mark Wilson, Randy Wright, but Keys, Mike Nor, said,
Mike Tom Zach, Anthony Gilwig, Don Makowski, and they were
all really good friends of mine. They were all good players,
they were in the National Football League. But when I
first saw him, there was nothing that he did set

(21:52):
or that would allow you to think that he was
going to turn out to be what he turned out
to be.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 14 (22:02):
He was just another guy? You know, if you brought
in a quarterback from Atlanta. You gave up whatever you
gave up for. Okay, you know, Mike Congreen is our
new coach. We got a new system, we got a
bunch of new moving parts, and he is one of
the new moving parts. So not knowing him or his background,

(22:23):
he was just another moving part. And you know, it's
just like and I've been saying this all week. I said,
I understand what Michael Jordan felt like being in the triangle.
I understand what the late Kobe Bryant felt like being
in the triangle. I understand what Steph Curry feels like
being in the triangle. The great player doesn't have to change,

(22:46):
and the Triangle or the West Coast offense and football
for us I didn't have to change. And it fit
him perfectly because he had a little stronger arm than
Joe Montana. He could fit it in places, but he
had the fearlessness of Steve Young, I like to say,

(23:06):
and him in that system with his arm really made
it work for me. What did it feel like to
catch a ball from FARV A lot of people like
to think he threw hard, and I didn't. I thought
he threw you know which allowed me to cheat because
I could kind of, you know, once the ball got here,
I could kind of turn away and find out where

(23:29):
contact was so I can get yards after the catch.
But I enjoyed the way Brett through football. It looked
a little more violent and vicious than it was. He
had great rotation, so once it hit your hands, it stuck.
Really enjoyed playing with him. I didn't think he threw hard.
Some of the other receivers he played where it talked

(23:50):
about him breaking their fingers. I didn't have that problem.
I loved the fact that he threw a firm pass
that could allow me to gain yards.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Have to catch Sterling Sharp, Pro Football Hall of Shamer
packer wide receiver. Most surreal moment from the weekend in
can't Ohio as what.

Speaker 14 (24:11):
The Radnitski luncheon where there's just there's only Hall of
Famers in the room. That is pretty powerful. That is
that is I don't know what the apostles felt like
being around, but it was kind of like that. It's

(24:34):
kind of like, wow, you know, you look around and
you know any era, any decade, any season, and you
got one of those guys in there wearing a gold
jacket and that was extremely powerful. You know, there was
a couple of guys that I got to meet that
I didn't know. Steve Largent, I got to spend some
time with him, which was tremendous for me because I

(24:59):
really liked how crafty he was and how he partlayed
his skill set, uh, and to being a Pro Football
Hall of Famer. That was you know, I got a
chance to spend some time with Mike Singletary, who I
played against for six five six years twice a year
in Chicago, gotten to sit next to him in a
couple of get togethers and meetings and talk. So it

(25:20):
was that Nichkie luncheon is uh, it's it's special, Dan,
it really is, and it is uh what was served
at the luncheon that's humbling. I don't even know if
I that's what I'm saying. It is. You know, once
once the doors closed and it got quiet, it got

(25:43):
really uh, extremely surreal. And the fact that I don't
know where I am and I'm not really sure looking
around I'm supposed to be here. But if they haven't
noticed me sitting here, then I'm gonna just be quiet
and not be not draw attention to myself. I kind
of felt like that it was extremely powerful to be

(26:06):
in that room with a tremendous group of football players
that are that I'm finding out are even better, meant you.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Got a moment that like that would be the highlight
if you had a capsule that you were going to
keep for grandkids and great grandkids and say, that's the
moment walking to that.

Speaker 14 (26:25):
Stage Friday night, to receive my god jacket and to
have my little brother standing there in tears. Nobody wanted
this for me more than him. Nobody wanted or felt
like I should be in the Hall of Fame more
than them. He has said publicly many times how he

(26:47):
feels about me and how he feels about my career.
But taking that walk through those Hall of famers, hugging
and high fiving them, and then that moment where I
got a chance to look up and see his eyes
and he wears glasses and they were fogged up because
he's crying, and you know, the tears were streaming down,

(27:07):
and then the embrace that he and I had. It
was at that moment that I felt I was a
Hall of fame. That moment for me set the stage
for what I felt what I believe what I saw
just that moment, which turned out to be a very
public moment, but it felt like it was just he

(27:29):
and I in the room.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
I think your brother's speech helped you immensely getting into
the Hall of Fame, if that makes sense, because I
think it reminded people of just maybe people forgot just
how great you were.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Your brother reminded people about them.

Speaker 14 (27:48):
I can't say yes or no, Dan, I will just
agree with you, because you know, we've been friends for
a long time, and I always agree with everything you say.
So I don't know. You know, no one was the criteria.
No one knows how these things are set in motion
or what these things do. You know. I'm not going

(28:09):
to disagree or argue with you. I'm just like you know,
I was enjoying myself not being a Hall of Famer,
and so to get the knock on the door and
to find out that my brother's giving me the news,
I was kind of surreal. And you know, and I've
said this before, Dan, I didn't want to be a
Hall of Famer. That's not one of the things that

(28:31):
when my career ended. I was looking at my wall,
going there's a space for a Hall of Fame something
and I need to fill that space. No, I didn't
have that. I was extremely proud of playing football. I
was extremely proud of the way I played football, and
I was, you know, ready to move on with the

(28:51):
part of my life that led me to get a
chance to work with you. We did some really good work,
especially at the Super Bowls doing the eleven o'clock Sports Center.
But that's all I wanted to do was play, and
the Hall of Fame came calling, and that was a
tremendously wonderful honor that I can't even begin to put

(29:14):
in work.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
You're one of the most prepared analysts I ever worked with,
might might have been the most prepared analyst that you
had so much information you were giving information to other
analysts at the Super Bowl. Don't need to mention any names, no, no,
but you had a notebook and I was like, that
is research. So let me and I miss you as

(29:38):
a you know, an NFL voice.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Let me make you an analyst just for this moment. Okay,
how would you be covering or what would your opinion
be of what's going on in Dallas.

Speaker 14 (29:51):
I think it's normal. A lot of people would like
to believe, oh God, that's one of your best players
and you're not going anyw where. You're not building anything
without him. I agree with that. Michael Parson is basically
saying that the offers you've made are below my standards,
and I'm not going to sign it until you bring

(30:13):
them up. I believe in him. Contracts are. The problem
with contracts is either the organization or the player feel
that the public sentiment is going to help them get
the job done, and it's not when Jerry Jones, When
the spirit hits Jerry Jones, the deal is going to
get done or it's not going to get done. I

(30:35):
don't think this is a marriage made in hell. I
think something's going to get worked out. I believe they're
going to end up on the same page. But then
right now it looks as though the pressure is on
Jerry Jones. Well, when this deal is done, the pressure
is going to refert back to the player. And then
once you see what the player, you can't get hurt,

(30:58):
you can't miss meetings, you can't be late, you have
to be above reproach. Once this deal is done. That's
a lot of pressure to be on playing a game
that we love and enjoy. So I think it's going
to get worked out. I just think right now logistically
there's a lot of cap issues that they're trying to
negotiate around, and they need time to be able to

(31:19):
do it.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Did you lose your voice of the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 14 (31:24):
Yes? I did? The Hall of Fame is it?

Speaker 4 (31:27):
You know?

Speaker 14 (31:28):
We did a lot of interviews and then Saturday night
at the party which you missed, there was cigar smoking
and drinking of the shape by the Portuger, my brother's Kangnac.
So yeah, we almost burned the building down. We did it.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Congrats, great to thank you, great, thank you, great to
see you.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Glad you survived, and good luck with your golf game.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
More importantly, thank you very much.

Speaker 14 (31:59):
You know we're going to work on it this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
I know.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
But would you rather have a green jacket or a
gold jacket?

Speaker 14 (32:06):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Green?

Speaker 14 (32:12):
Green? Okay, because you know people already knew I played football.
But if I had a green jacket winning the Masters,
come on, Dan, that that in itself? Would you know
that the green jacket being a football player. Oh yeah,
I'd rather have the green jacket than the gold.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
I think I think I have a better chance of
getting a gold jacket than you do a green jacket.

Speaker 14 (32:37):
You actually do.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
By the way, Thank you man, You're very welcome.

Speaker 14 (32:43):
My friend.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
That's a sterling shark Hall of Fame, not him a
long time, very very funny guy.

Speaker 2 (32:53):

Speaker 2 (33:11):
What we learn?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
What's in store tomorrow? This day in sports history. We'll
try to cram all of that in. Dane in Texas, Hey, Dane,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 14 (33:21):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Good morning Dan.

Speaker 13 (33:22):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
You may never make it to the Pro Football Hall
of Fame, but you're always in my hall of fame.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Thanks for everything, Thank you, Dane. Where is your hall
of fame located.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
In my house? In my locked upstairs?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Okay, fair enough, Thank you very much. What can I
do for you?

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Yes, earlier in the show, you referenced John Stockton. Yeah,
and when I listened to interviews of players of his era,
they say he was a dirty player.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yes, did you elaborate on that.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
I never saw him do anything dirty.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Well, that was the beauty of Stockton. Everything was subtle
setting picks.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
He was tough. Yeah, he was a tough.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Player and usually down low he would be setting picks.
But he got roughed up too because some of these
bigger guys when he would set a pick to free
up Karl alone, they just plow right into him. But
John was considered a dirty player. Jeff and Rochester, Hi, Jeff,
WIT's on your mind today?

Speaker 13 (34:21):
You know, this is really one of the what a
great moments. I watched the guys a lot of big
bad first time of caller, and I had a question
in regards to the comment that was made about the
best players and not win the NBA title and how
he mentioned it was Carl Malone and how Barkley's off
the court issues would preclude him from being considered and

(34:43):
doing that kind of thing, and had I had a question.
My question is more based on the fact, is Carl
Malone off the court issues are you know, pretty serious
and were able to be kind of pushed under the
rug because of the time and the way I was
if Karl Malone played. He's in this era with social
media and the way that the sport is covered. Y know,

(35:04):
he might not even be considered for three team or
or none of the great things because of the off
the court issue that Karl alone had, you know, involved
in the young girl or doing that kind of thing.
And I just wanted to know, like, isn't it amazing
the differences in terms of the media coverage and the
way it is today versus yesterday.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah, you're right, it's a whole different era, whole different approach.
Imagine Michael Jordan social media good and bad. But if
Richard Jefferson is going to analyze who is the best
player to never win a championship, let's just look at basketball,

(35:43):
all right, because there's a lot of skeletons and a
lot of closets here. So let's just if you want
to have a true discussion, because now you make it
about Carl Malone and uh, you know, reportedly having a
child with uh, you know, a girl who was sixteen,
or Charles with you know, picking up a prostitute or

(36:05):
fighting or throwing somebody through a plate.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Like let's just talk basketball.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
You bring in the other stuff and it just clouds
it up and then it's not a discussion. It's not
a true discussion about just basketball. Frank in Missouri, Hi, Frank,
what's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Hey?

Speaker 13 (36:21):
How you doing?

Speaker 16 (36:21):
Dan's five ten buck eighty five. I want to give
a shout out to all the dan Nets. You truly
are a pioneer and a big part of my life.
I've been watching you forever ESPN two started the replay
of Sports Center and then Body Shaping. You are a pioneer, sir,
and a joy in my life.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Thank you very much, Thank you, Frank.

Speaker 16 (36:44):
You know Howard Cosell. He's a pioneer as well. I
remember Monday Night Football would not be Monday Night Football
without him. But when the day John Lennon was shot,
he was the first one to announce it to the
world live on Monday Night Football, and the world never
got information like that live on any event ever before then.
That was a huge moment, and that guy should be

(37:08):
in the whole fame. I can't even believe he's not.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, thank you, Frank.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
I you know, I'm going to try to contact somebody
with a Pro Football Hall of Fame and just has
his name been brought up before for the Pete.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Roselle war that's all.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
If if we can mention him and uh, you know,
find out maybe gain some momentum. Great all in favor
this day in sports history. By the way, I don't
know who Isaiah Kiner Philifa is. He had a walk
off fielder's choice to have the Pirates beat the Giants.

(37:43):
But this guy has five career walk off RBIs with
four different teams, including three walk off RBIs in the
last three seasons. He's mister walkoff, is what he is.
He never made an All Star Game, but uh, he's
mister walk off.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
This day in sports history, Paul got a couple for you.

Speaker 11 (38:03):
In nineteen sixty, for the first time, two Major League
Baseball clubs traded managers. Detroit traded Jimmy Dikes for Cleveland's
Joe Gordon. That's pretty cool they should do. That'd be
great if that happened. Now, you never see that happen.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Billy Martin never get traded. No, he just got fired.
He just got fired. Oh that's what it was. He
just got fired all the time.

Speaker 11 (38:19):
Mark McGuire in nineteen h nine hit home run number
five hundred in the fewest at bats ever, and Bud
Selig in two thousand and thirteen suspended a Rod for
two hundred and eleven games for Peeds.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 12 (38:33):
Reduced to one sixty two.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Yeah, but allowed to come back and be one of
the voices of Major League Baseball's coverage on Fox.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
It's a great country.

Speaker 12 (38:40):
Two hundred and eleven games is very random.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Twenty twelve Usain Bolt. He runs the one hundred meter
dash at the London Games nine point sixty three and
probably could have been faster. Oh how long will that last?

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Man? Although, isn't there a high school kid who will say?
Probably not as long as we think? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Yeah, I thought there was a high school kid first name,
last name the same, and he's he's putting up some
pretty impressive numbers. There is it like Pong fong or
something like that. He's like a sixteen year old.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Maybe I'm making it up, Who knows, Let's see.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Fouindal.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Results of the poll question.

Speaker 15 (39:37):
Seat right now, sixty seven percent of the audience have
other as their national champion, not Texas, Penn State, or
Ohio Stan.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
The Ohio State, the Ohio State. Thanks for all the
phone calls and the emails and the tweets. They all
around support for this program, and uh, maybe we go
around the room. What we lear did you guys find it?
There's this sprinter, he's a young sprinter. I think his
first name and last name are the same.

Speaker 14 (40:07):
Boy.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Oh dang it, I can't remember. Get some of my
best people on it. Todd Out Huh gout gout. Yeah
that's tough. Yeah, yeah, that's right, gout cout.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
I don't know what as fast as time is, but
he's uh he's Australian gout gout sixteen. Okay, all right, okay,
all right, all coming back to me, Todd.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Would you learn today? David and Phoenix thinks?

Speaker 3 (40:32):
Do you deserve Pro Football Hall Fame consideration for your
contributions and getting others into ken for their contributions?

Speaker 4 (40:37):
Seton?

Speaker 2 (40:38):
What did you learn?

Speaker 15 (40:38):
Finally something good coming from gout?

Speaker 2 (40:40):
How about Marvin?
