Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We did it, We did it. We made it to
the final hour on this Friday. Morale is high. Although
Pauli's not here today, but we have smoky meatball palms, sandwiches,
curly fries.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Who has it better than we knew?
Speaker 4 (00:18):
No body?
Speaker 5 (00:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I went out and sampled them, and then Fritzi tried
to kind of jump into the big pot where all
the meatballs, where I said, no, no, this is what
I do. I test the food before it served to
you guys on a meat Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
This is what I'm willing to do. And I did
that for you.
Speaker 6 (00:36):
Yes, you see, the size though of those subs is
like six meatballs. Like in just one of those sandwiches.
We each get a full one of those. We're cutting
those in thirds of halves. I don't know, Tapper, if
you would like a full I really would.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay, if you would like a full one, I think
you're taking a full one or you're just gonna put
two together.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
So I'll just touch all of them, which I've been
known to do, and then I'll just have all of
it because no one's gonna want to touch it after
I touched.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I was watching Ace ben sur a pet detective yesterday
while I was in between scenes for the Adam Sandler
movie Happy Gilmour Too, and and Marvin brought up, is
this a Chris or this a sports movie?

Dan Marino's in there, super Bowl rings, there's no football action.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I said, yeah, you want to include that.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Then all of a sudden it got to the point
where the five or six year run that Jim Carrey
was on at a certain point in his career, and
then people brought up other runs by like Will Ferrell
or Harrison Ford.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Joe Peshy's name came up.

Speaker 7 (02:49):
He did do that all in that timefra him, didn't he? Yes,
that's pretty good run there, The hell of a run

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Now all right, so final hour. We'll get to your
phone calls coming up. Good morning. If you're watching on
Peacock that's our streaming partner. Download the app if you
haven't done.
Speaker 8 (04:07):
So.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It was all about the commitment last night with Dan Campbell.
He committed to fourth downs and it paid off, and
he talked about his philosophy.
Speaker 9 (04:17):
Look, I told the guys knew players, knew coaches knew Listen,
this is don't ride the wave.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
You know.
Speaker 9 (04:23):
We could be up two scores, we could be down
two scores, and but just because we're one or the other,
we got to play our style of game going in
what we felt like we need to do, what I
felt like we needed to do, and so that meant
the risk was there, and you know, and you fell
in negative urt or you get you know, you're trying
to hold him to a field goal. But I knew
(04:44):
that was that was how I wanted to play that
team with where we were at.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
This is your your mo and if you're committed to that.
Ross Tucker was just on about a half hour ago
and he said, you know, you might go three for
four on fourth down calls during regular season game, but
you might go one for four in the postseason.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And we saw that last year.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
They were aggressive, and I'm all for being aggressive because
I can't sit here and go, why are you being aggressive?
When we see teams they build up a big lead
and then they're not aggressive and then they end up
losing the game. They're up twenty four to seven and
they should have won that game, and the Niners came
back beat them, and you had these fourth down calls.
(05:25):
Do I think Dan Campbell is going to change in
the postseason? I do not, I do not Seaton poll
question for the final hour and anything from our two
that we want to do clean up.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Let's see, well Russ Tucker, should he be honored or offended?
Seventy eight percent of the audience have honored. Is ay
sventure a sports movie that is increasingly becoming not a
sports movie? Would you rather have the career of Ryan
Gosling Ryan Reynolds right now? Ryan Reynolds running away with
that one? A lot of hard hitting poll questions, of course,
(06:03):
a lot of very important matters we're getting Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So the Minister of Humors here, Fritzie.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
We also Satan Marv Paulley's out today, the brg's as well.
A lot of people suggesting different movies. I think Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks could be a number one seed with his stretch. Yeah,
I mean that was That's incredible. And those are all
like big time and some really like films as well.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Thrown in there, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Michael Douglas from eighty seven to ninety four.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
I know it's a little past five years, but if
you'll humor me from eighty seven to most recently, Fatal Attraction,
Wall Street, The War of the Roses, basic instinct falling
down disclosure.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
It's not a bad group.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, yeah, now I'm good with that. Had a great run,
Harrison Ford great run as well, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 10 (06:55):
So you go into music, what's your favorite run? Five, six,
seven years?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'd have to do more research on it. I don't
have the context of be going Oh was that? I
would say the Beatles. I'd say the Beatles if I
go sixty four to sixty nine.
Speaker 10 (07:17):
Wait, I'm sorry, I'm a little hard at hearing sixty four.
They were only together four were they together for Undertown?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
They got over here in sixty four, okay, and then
they broke up in what's seventy?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Yeah, it wasn't very long.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, but what they did nobody comes close to that.
They just don't. So I would say, yeah, if you
look at six seven year window, that's like Sandy Kofax,
not not Terrell Davis. It's better than that, but that,
you know six year window where you're like, man, that
guy was.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
They were dominating. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Jay Z had a pretty insane run of albums where
he had and not too long.
Speaker 11 (07:57):
Of a time.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
He had reasonable doubt. Let's see, then he had all
these volume ones in my Lifetime, Hard Knock, Life was
Massive Life and Times a strong Carter. The Blueprint was huge.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Black album.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
He had a run of just every time he puts
something out, it was gigantic.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Steve and Tulsa, Good Morning, Steve, What's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
Good Morning?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Sixty three and purely distributed two fifty five.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
Uh, I have a.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
A run.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
We'll call it a marathon, maybe to go up against
Tom Hanks and your number one see going all the
way back to sixty four in the next fifty years.
Pick any five years for Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Okay, yeah, as a producer, director, and of course, uh
the star.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, Hu, fine with that. I don't think there's a
wrong answer with this.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We're just throwing out these five six year windows of
you know, an incredible consistency.
Speaker 10 (08:59):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, I think Tom Hanks is probably the
number one seed. I used to think it was Joe Peshi,
but Tom Hanks won Best Actor two years in a row.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, but Joe Peshi wasn't the leading guy. Tom Hanks
is carrying movies.
Speaker 11 (09:12):
My cousin Vinny, No.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Marissa, Tom carried that movie.
Speaker 10 (09:18):
How long does it take you to boil your grits.
These two youths. Come on, excuse me, these two youth suits.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Dylan in California. Hi Dylan, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (09:34):
That was great, Happy to meet Friday boys. Thanks for
taking my call. Thank you, Ay spent sure Is. It's
definitely a sports movie, and it's always awesome to see
Jim Carrey and his beautiful singing voice on stage with
Cannbell corpse. And I believe that's a deleted scene in
the movie, but super funny. I want to talk about
that five year span too, the underrated Johns reinhold a
(09:59):
three four year run the eighties.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, but he didn't carry the movies. He appeared in movies.
That's like, there's a difference. I'm talking about guys who
car Harrison Ford carried a movie. Tom Hanks carried a movie.
It wasn't like you know you were you played drums
on Eminem's albums. There's a difference in that time to
(10:21):
play the most must win game of the weekend, Todd.
I know this is really important because you are now
the executive producer with Paulie not here today, and you
are taking that role.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Seriously.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I want to make sure we don't forget my most
must win game of the week weekend. The forty nine
ers were five and four, now they're five and seven.
Marvin Prince well aware of that. On the customer of
their season being over. There are only two games backup
seven to five Seattle though, in a week NFC West
must win for the Niners at home playing a Bears
team that's lost six straight and as yet to win
a road game this season.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Niners, time to wake.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Up, Seeden O'Connor. The most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Is Seattle Seahawks on the road at the Cardinals. Absolutely,
you cannot lose. That cannot No, you must win that.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Marvin most puts win the weekend this weekend. Boise State, Oh,
come on, you took mine.
Speaker 11 (11:13):
All right? If they lose, they are out of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Okay, yeah, Mountain West, it's all on the line. N
LV is a good team. Yeah, that was going to
be my pick as well, because Penn State, Oregon, they're
both in Georgia, Texas. Feels like they're both in Clemson
against SMU. If SMU doesn't win, they're out. Arizona State,
(11:38):
Iowa State. Yeah, so there's a there's a few games
coming up later on today, you have Tulane an army,
so there's a there's a few of those. I heard
Mike Elko is the Texas A and M head coach,
and he was talking about name, image and likeness, and
he had this to say about his program and incoming freshman.
Speaker 13 (12:01):
I think you have to be really intelligent when you
manage this thing, how you manage it for the culture
of your program. You know, you see some of these
insane freshmen deals. I would just like to know how
the upperclassmen and their program feel when these freshmen come
in making five times more than the returning starter. And
so I think that will be a really interesting dynamic
(12:22):
for a lot of these programs when these freshmen show
up on campus.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Okay, that's incumbent on the head coach to present the
landscape of what college football is. Yes, you're going to
have juniors and seniors, somebody who's probably a fifth year
senior and they've blown out their knee and they're coming
back and their last chance. And then you got some
eighteen year old coming in making five million dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
This is what and I why are all of these
grown ups just realizing what is going on in college football.
I'm amazed that nobody acted. Everybody reacts to what goes
on with the transfer portal, name, image and likeness.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, sad like that.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
That's such an interesting SoundBite to me because that Mike
elcho is he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Know how the upper classmen feel already.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Because if he'd like to know, that to me sounds
like a guy who's planting the seed that says it's
okay for upperclassmen to be upset about this. I'd like
to know how upperclassmen feel about that, because that's going
to create some interesting dynamics. Well, has it already or
do you not know? Because now you just gave permission
to every upper classman to be like, this is garbage.
That guy makes more than me, I want more money. Well,
(13:31):
that creates the problem. You just spoke it into existence.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
And I would say to coach, a coach, you have
the opportunity to ask your upperclassmen like, have you yeah
talked to him?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
And why haven't you?
Speaker 11 (13:44):
Like this is.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I mean, I truly am amazed it almost week in
and week out where you hear coaches, athletic directors, chancellors
and they're clueless with everything that's going on here, chansfer
port nil collectives? How much money? Hey, how are we
going to feel if we're an upper classman?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Talk to you?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You know what if he would have said the following, Hey, look,
we got kids coming in. They're making it a good
amount of money, and we got you know, juniors and seniors,
and I've spoken to them. Now you tell me that
you're smart, that you're you're ahead of the game. Not
how do you think they feel? I don't know, ask them,
(14:28):
let them know. This is what it is.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
This is the.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Situation, not I don't know. How do you think they're
going to God, we're going at warp speed here. I
get it, But at some point somebody has to be
ahead of the game, understand what it is.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Troubleshoot it we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Do we need legislation rules to stop kids from planting
a flag? How about you let them know that's not
who we are and that's not what we do. Oh
how about right and wrong? Is that that difficult? At
what point do you say to your players, we don't
do that unless you want them to do that. We
(15:15):
need to have legislation to stop that. How about you
have a coach with a backbone and has a moral
compass pointed in the right direction.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Is that asking a lot?
Speaker 8 (15:25):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (15:25):
See, ask the upperclassmen when we recruit, do you want
me to get the best players possible or not? And
then say, okay, but they're gonna get paid more money
than you're getting paid. Is that okay? But it gives
us a better chance of winning. It gives us a
great chance of putting together the best team possible. Which
one do you want? Because no offense. If you were
(15:46):
that guy, you'd be gone already or you'd be getting
paid that way. But you're not that guy. That's why
you're a senior here or a fifty year or whatever.
Booker McFarlane will join us on loan from the mothership.
More phone calls as well, and uh, talk about Bill Bella.
Is he really serious about North Carolina? I'm sure North
Carolina is really serious about him? And Fritzy already has
(16:07):
the T shirt. If Bill Belichick would happen to go
to North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
That would be chapel.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
There you go. That one's free. The next one will
cost you. We're back after this.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
He's Booger McFarlane of the Mothership, covering the NFL, in
college football, and of course the first ever twelve team
playoff selection Sunday that'll be coming up, presented by AT
and T. At noon Eastern this Sunday on the mother Ship,
Booger joins us on the program. Booger, let me start
with last night with Dan Campbell. Here we go with
(16:51):
fourth downs again. We saw it last year in the
NFC title game. Your thoughts on this is the mo
of him or his team and this is the way
they're going to play no matter what the situation is.
Speaker 14 (17:04):
You know, Dan, anytime you have a job, I think
the number one thing you can be is be yourself
and be authentic. And I think the one thing we
can say about Dan Kimbell from the moment of his
introductory press conference where he said he was gonna bite
knees and scratch elbows and everybody laughed at him, he's
been unapologetically himself and so last night was just him
continued to do that, and we may not agree with it,
we may not like it, it may cost his team
(17:26):
like it did last year, but I can live and
die with the guy that's going to be himself because
I'd rather be myself than try to acquiesce and be
somebody else.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
So I'm okay with it. His team loves it.
Speaker 14 (17:37):
And you know, here's the thing about it, though, when
he makes a mistake, he can own it, and I
think that's the respect that he gets from his team.
They love the gambling, but they also love the fact
that when he makes a mistake, he'll stand in front
of them and own it.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I thought the Packers were going to win last night
going into this game, and for no other reason than
I didn't have a reason. I just thought, maybe it's
the Packers, like they're starting to get a little bit
of that momentum that we saw last year. Second half
of the season. Josh Jacobs has been wonderful. What is
it that Green Bay is missing right now in your opinion.
Speaker 14 (18:11):
Well, you got to remember Green Bay is still one
of the youngest football teams in the league, if not
the youngest, I think, and so I think all they're
missing is just a little bit of experience, a little
bit of toughness. You know, the quarterback is continuing to grow.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
You know. The Detroit Lions are a veteran group.
Speaker 14 (18:26):
Man Jared Golf has been around the block christ and
spoke to everybody one time, you know, So like these
people are seasoned up in Detroit, and so I think
the one thing the Packers are missing is just a
little bit of experience, a little bit of toughness, and
they'll get that. I remember in Tampa everybody kept saying, well,
what are the Bucks missing? What are we missing? And
we were just missing our time. Man, Just a little
bit of experience and just the right mix. And so
(18:47):
I think the pack of time is coming. I think
Matt Lafleur is one of the bright minds in football.
I love their young defense. They've paid the quarterback and
so it's just a matter of time. But Detroit, their
time is now, because as we've seen with San Francisco,
if you don't capitalize when your moment is there, that
moment will be gone in the blink of an eye.
It's like, I think the forty nine Ers window is
closed right now. The lines have to capitalize on theirs.
(19:09):
The Packers window is just starting to open, and I
believe it'll be open for the next four or five years.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
If you're the Niners, what do you do with brock
Perty's contract.
Speaker 14 (19:19):
It's kind of like I did my wife. I strung
her along for nine years until I finally got the
courage enough to to after to marry me, and she
still brings it up. And you know, in all seriousness,
I think if you're John Lynch, you have to kind
of maybe do the Jordan Love deal. Maybe you give
him like a two year, forty million something like that.
I don't think Rocks representatives are going to accept that,
(19:41):
but you gotta at least try, because the moment they
give him fifty five million a year, I.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Think their window is absolutely closed.
Speaker 14 (19:48):
Because he's not the type of quarterback, as we're seeing
now with all the injuries. He's not the type of
quarterback that can ride make everybody around him better. He's
the type of quarterback that, if all the pieces are there,
he's a tremendous game manager. And when all those pieces
have been there, he has been outstanding. But you know
how you no McCaffrey, no Trent Williams. They get their
(20:10):
brains beat in by Buffalo because Purdy is not the
guy that can raise anybody up. He needs the pieces
around him, very similar to John Stockton. Like John Stockton
is a Hall of Fame point guard. As long as
he had Carl Malone. You take away Carl Malone, he's
just another guy. And so I think that's what Brock
Purdy is.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Well, I don't know if Stockton would be just another guy,
but I understand what you're saying. I mean Stockton, he.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
Wouldn't be he wouldn't be who he is Carl Malone.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
He wouldn't have fifteen thousand assists, but not all fifteen
thousand were to Carl.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
I got you.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You can't put John Stockton in with Rock Purdy. But
I know it's your I know the analogy you're making.
But you do need other players. Brock needs more players.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Without McCaffrey, his record is not good at all. I
just don't know of how much credit do you how
much do you pay somebody who's a game manager?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
That's what I think it comes down to.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Well, essentially, that's what the quarterback position is.
Speaker 14 (21:05):
Outside of Patrick, Josh, Joe Burrow and Lamar, everybody else
is a game manager. Like that's what everybody else is
and so I think rock Perty although he may.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
Be kind of lower to middle end.
Speaker 14 (21:21):
Other words, I'm gonna give you an example of a
high end game manager. So like Jared Goff, Jared Golf
is a high end game manager. I don't think rock
Perty is to that level just yet. Jordan Love is
growing to that point. And so you have some young
guys that are gonna be able to ascend to that
top two. I think jayd and Daniels eventually will be
in the Lamar Patrick category eventually. And so you got
(21:42):
to pay him the going rate. Dan Oh, I mean
the going rate is fifty five million a year.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I can't do that.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
Okay, Well, then who's going to be your quarterback?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
There?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I have to say to him, just what you said.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
What the Packers did with Jordan Love, even though Jordan
hadn't really produced anything, they wanted to keep him and
still see if he was going to be a franchise quarterback.
Rock Bery He says, no, Well you found him at
the end of the draft. I'm gonna ask you to
find somebody again. They've done a great job at finding
players in the draft. But at fifty five then I
(22:14):
can't I can't keep everybody not, Like, does McCaffrey even
play anymore?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Booger? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Debo is banged up all the time. How long does
Trent Williams continue to play? You bring up the point
the window is if not closed, there's just a little
breeze coming in, and it's it's it's it's not a lot,
not a lot.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Well, here's the thing is that.
Speaker 14 (22:37):
This is a business and you have to capitalize when
the iron is hot, and his iron will be no
hotter than it's than it's never been.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
After the season, I think if you're his agent, I think.
Speaker 14 (22:48):
You're gonna you gotta go in ask him for fifty
five million a year, five years, two utter the seventy
five million, one hundred and twenty guaranteed. If you're John Lynch,
you got to make a decision because if you start
over and try to go find another quarterback, you're probably
gonna be without Frent Williams. You're probably gonna be without McCaffrey.
You're probably gonna be without Dee Bow. Fred Warner may
(23:10):
still have a few years left, so the forty nine
Ers team that you know now, by the time you
find that young guy, will will be different, and so
you have to balance do you pay him now or
do you start over realizing that you're gonna lose your nucleus.
That's why John Lynch is making the big buck of
San Francisco. He's got to make that decision.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Booker McFarland ESPN, NFL College Football analyst and the twelve
team playoff reveal. That'll be Sunday at noon on the
mother Ship. You more all in on the Chargers or more.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
All in on the Vikings.
Speaker 14 (23:43):
I trust Jim Harball more than I trust Kevin O'Connell,
and I think the world of Kevin O'Connell. But I
just know what Jim Harball is doing is tried and prove.
He brought in Jesse Mitcher to run the defense. They
got the number one scoring defense in football, all right,
So that allow them to do what he said he
was gonna do when he got the job. I'm gonna
take the load off of Justin Herbert. He doesn't have
(24:06):
to be a superstar. He doesn't have to put the
cape on every Sunday. I just need him to put
the cape on when the time is coming. And so
if you see their formula play great defense, they're gonna
run the hell out of the football. They're gonna make
Herbert put the Cape on four or five plays every
Sunday rather than fifty plays. I trust that method more
than I trust Kevin O'Connell and Sam Donald. Because there's
(24:28):
a thing that my buddy told me years ago. Water
eventually finds its level. I don't care where it is,
It's always gonna find a level. Sam Donald, although he's
having a tremendous year, I think you and I both
know what Sam Donald is, and eventually he's gonna find
his level.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
And so I.
Speaker 14 (24:45):
Trust Justin Herbert and Jim Harball more than I trust
Kevin O'Connell and Sam Donald.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Give me the scenario that's gonna totally throw the twelve
team playoff into chaos by Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 14 (25:00):
Okay, well, if we want to do really chaos, let's
go un l V beat Boise. UNLV gonna is gonna
get in, but probably won't get a bye.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Let's go.
Speaker 14 (25:12):
Let's go Clemson beating SMU. All right, Clemson beats SMU.
So now SMU has two losses, So you have a
two loss Clemson. Excuse me, a two loss SMU compared
to a three loss Alabama, they gotta take one. Other
than that, I think the other ones are pretty set.
Like the winner of the Big twelve is getting in.
(25:32):
Both teams in the SEC are getting in. I think
they're gonna be four teams in the Big ten. Oregon,
Penn State, Indiana, Ohio State, all four of those are
getting in. It's just a matter of seeding. Notre Dame
is in, They're gonna be either the five or the
sixth seed. And the winner of Arizona State our state
is getting in. So that's pretty much like that's kind
(25:53):
of set right there. The real chaos comes with UNLV winning,
because if Boise wins, I think Boys gets it's a
buy dan though, and everybody's gonna play. How can a
group of five team get a buy So that's one.
And then if we have to compare a two loss
SMU to a three loss blue Blood in Alabama, all
(26:13):
hell will break loose and my head will probably explode
because I think the committee just might put Alabama in.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Oh yes, me, yes, that was the That was then
the wrong message.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But you can't imagine a scenario if there's two SEC
schools that get in and four Big ten schools get in.
I think that they can solve this a little bit
if they look at all right, automatic qualifiers and then
we have your ranking, like the ranking should still matter,
so that way we can decide who's going to get
(26:45):
a first round bot.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I think there's tweaks to this.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't know if you have a couple that you say,
all right, next year, this should be done. This will
prevent this or these things from happening.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
Well, it's the same thing that Rheze Davis has said.
Speaker 14 (26:59):
I'm okay with the conference champions getting in, but once
everybody's in, let's seat it. One to twelve, top four
get a bye and then and then we see them
from there. I think that's what you should do. Yeah,
that's number one. But let me ask you this. If
it comes down to eleven and two SMU or nine
and three Alabama, who is Dan Patrick putting in?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I would want SMU in, But I know it's a
TV show. So I Alabama Alabama at Notre Dame to
open up the first round of the playoffs. They would
love that SMU. You know, they bought their way into
they made a great business decision. I just don't know
if anybody cares to watch SMU. I got to factor
(27:40):
that in that people are gonna want to watch Alabama.
Speaker 14 (27:44):
Yeah, but why are you factor that when committe will Yeah,
but the committey is not supposed to do that is oh.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You know the booger, it's a TV show. All of
this is a TV show.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Well, if it's a TV show, then why are we
putting unlv A boy the in.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
They don't want to they have to this.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You have a decision to make, like you have to
put in unl V or Boise. I don't have to
put in Alabama or SMU if they you know, SMU loses.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
It's a TV show.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It is they want matchups, they want sold out crowds.
They want you know, when you go to a Bowl game,
the fans are gonna go.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
I mean, come on, I get it.
Speaker 14 (28:25):
I would just argue that although SMU is not a
blue blood, SMU is probably one of the richest institutions
in America. You know that as well as I do. Alabama.
We all know what that brand is. I just hope
that they do the right thing this year. Now next year,
I think war manual is probably gonna have to get
(28:45):
together and to your point, They're gonna have to make
some tweets, just like anything, you know, the first iteration
is not perfect.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
You make some tweaks and then and then we get
it to the point.
Speaker 14 (28:52):
But this year, I truly hope this year that if
Clemson wins and the game is fairly close, other words,
if they beat SMU by points, I still think you
should get in. And if they don't do that, There'll
be some good TV on Sunday. I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
The that's a tease.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
The situation with the Raiders, to me, is fascinating because
I think they have the Antonio Peers is their head coach,
but it feels like that's really tenuous because if they
would happen to get a chance to get Shador Sanders, like,
what would happen? First they have to get Shador to
then get Dion because you can't get Dion and then
(29:33):
he's not coaching his son.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I think there's something there. Booger.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Now, I thought that National Signing Day that you know
Dion brought in, he flipped some recruits. I mean, he
did a great job, which would lead me to believe
and I hope he stays there.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
But they're just too many people.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Talk and then you bring in Tom Brady, as you know,
a minority owner there.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
And I don't know about this.
Speaker 14 (29:56):
I think Chador to the Raiders is something that I
believe is gonna happen. Deon to the Raiders, I don't
think it's gonna happen because if Deon goes to the Raiders,
you would have to get Dion there first, based on
the hiring cycle, because if they're gonna move on from
Antonio Piers, they would do that. What January the fifteenth
or whatever that day is Black Monday, Dion the draft,
(30:20):
I tell what end of April, and so that time
gap there I think would probably prohibit the quote unquote
package deal from happening. Yeah, I think Brady's Brady's influence
is probably gonna lead to Antonio Peers not being there.
I think Brady's influence is gonna lead to Shaduer being
drafted franchise quarterback. We're gonna get an offensive mine in there,
(30:42):
uh and we're gonna, you know, go from there. I
think Brady Brady buying in was Hey, if you want
to help us run the organization.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
Put some skin in the game.
Speaker 14 (30:50):
He puts skin in the game now he gets to
make decisions and because now he's got his money where
his mouth is. And so I'm with you, I think
should do it to the Raiders. Somehow, some way is
going to happen Dion. I don't think so, because Dion,
it's kind of like this. Dion can influence and control
the University of Colorado the way he wants to, very
(31:12):
much like Nick Saban did at Alabama.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
Nick Saban in the NFL did not work.
Speaker 14 (31:17):
I don't know if Dion in the NFL will work
to the level that it's working at Colorado. Therefore, I
think he's gonna be at Colorado. I think he's gonna
build a juggernaut. He's gonna be in the Big twelve.
He's gotta win a couple of big games a year.
I mean, this is not even his best team. They're
nine to three this year, and you could argue that
if they get a break against Kansas or something like that,
(31:38):
they could be in the playoff.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
He was really one game from the playoff. And so
if you're Dion, you load up.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
He had a really good recruiting class, and Dion will
be in the twelve team playoffs next year. Why would
he go to the NFL and get his head beat
in because the NFL game is not about recruiting. It's
just about draft order, salary cap all those different things.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
I don't think he wants to deal with that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I agree with you that, and this is why being
in the Big twelve to me, like if I'm a school,
I would want to be in the If I'm coaching,
I want to be in the Big twelve. I don't
care who I'm playing each week, as long as I'm
beating them each week. I got an automatic berth I'm in.
I mean instead of banging around in the SEC and
(32:18):
the Big ten all of that. I mean, Deon can
run that. Although I give credit Arizona State, it's been
a wonderful story this year, so that in Iowa State
is always there as well. But great to talk to
you and thanks for joining us. This is always have
fun on Sunday. I would say play nice, but I
don't want you to.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
No, you know, I just want the right thing to
be done.
Speaker 14 (32:41):
And just like I did last year with Florida State,
somebody's got to stand out for teams that because I
play a game that it's not about what we think.
It's about what you see on the field. Football has
just showed me game, Dan and I just turned the
tape on and watch the teams play. And I want
the teams that play the best that we've seen play
the best get in. I don't want to go off web.
What would happen if we did this or did that? No, no, no,
(33:03):
let's go off what actually happened. It's like last year
in Florida State went undefeated. They should have been. They
should have been the fourteenth playoffs. This year, if SMU
get penalized for making the conference championship game, I'm going
to be very disappointed.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Booger McFarlane, ESPN, NFL College and NFL Analyst, twelve team
playoff that'll be coming up Sunday noon Eastern on the
mother Ship. If you're watching on Peacock, you're able to
see that we have some chicken palm, we have meatball
parm ready to go, and nobody is more excited than
Fritzy Facts. Yes, we'll take a break. We'll take those
(33:37):
off the grill. More of your phone calls will close
up shop after this.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Closing up shop here, last call for phone calls. What

Speaker 2 (33:56):
What's in store for Monday? Best game of the weekend,
by the way, Slider Sunday. Slide into the weekend and
make your Sunday a Slider Sunday thanks to King's Hawaiian
Penn State at Oregon Big Ten Title Game. James Franklin
now three and nineteen against top ten teams after a
loss to Ohio State dropped them two three in nineteen
(34:20):
SEC Texas Georgia Title game. Last time they played. Georgia
beat Texas thirty to fifteen. Clemson SMU ACC Title Game.
Clemson needs to win to make the playoffs or at
least raise the question if they should be in SMU
(34:41):
should be in a two bid league. I don't know
if that's going to happen. Bills at the Rams. Do
the Rams have a last stand here? They are third
place in the NFC West and right now number ten
spot in the conference playoff picture. Falcons at the Vikings.
(35:01):
It's Kirk d Cousins returning to Minnesota. Who has more
touchdown pousses, Sam Darnold or kirk Cousins, who has more
picks sixes?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Oh that is mean spirit, mean.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Spirited passes to the other team. Well, I just said
touchdown pounses. Marvin kirk Cousinsk Todd Cousins satan, Yeah, sure,
why not. By the way, those meatball palm sandwiches delish.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Yeah they are.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Todd went all in. If you had a third hand,
you would have had it on.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I cannot argue that.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah, Todd wants to do in er out because PAULI
normally does inner out is okay? College football needs Bill Belichick. Todd,
are you in or out out?
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Seatan? They need him?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, I'm out, Marvin out out, Okay, I don't think
college football needs him. I don't think he needs college football.
I completely trust Dan Campbell's decision making in January.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Todd out, we've seen him before.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Seaton, I'm riding with him. Jerry in. Yeah, Marvin, I'm into.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I would rather be a famous actor than a famous
quarterback in or out, Todd in in famous actor, Seaton.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I'm in on an actor, okay, Marvin in actor. If
I said you could be Ryan Reynolds or Patrick Mahomes, Todd.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Patrick Mahomes in that situation.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
The way you just said you would rather.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Be an actor, but if if you go specifically, I just.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Gave you specifics here.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Don't think I'm really Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Thanks Jan, thank you, thank you. Seatan. Would you rather
be Ryan Reynolds or Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 7 (37:02):
I don't think Ryan Reynolds is the Patrick Mahomes of acting.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
So body, he's made a lot of money, he's very successful.
Who is the Patrick Mahomes of acting?
Speaker 3 (37:14):
I don't know, Todd, do you have Tom Cruise?
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
Patrick Mahomes is like reshape the game and Tom Cruise
broth the Movie's back.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Supposedly they could pick some kind of analogy there.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Mmm, Marvin Tom Hanks, No, not anymore. Ryan Reynolds seems
to have it all figured out, though. Gotta admit, like
the dude he's making like just like, oh look, I
just sold another company for a billion dollars and I
might make a movie I don't know, and I own
this team. I'm going round Reynolds all day, all day,
Ryan Reynolds all day, not even close for sure.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Instead of Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 11 (37:50):
Yeah, he's also got Blake Lively.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah, you're not Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, but you know I would. I would be Patrick Mahomes.
He the he's one of the two greatest to ever
play that position and he's made half a billion dollars already.
Speaker 10 (38:06):
And Ryan Reynolds was in Van Wilder. Same thing this
day in sports history? Is there anything here worth going
down memory lane?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
One single interesting thing?
Speaker 8 (38:19):
I know?
Speaker 3 (38:20):
It doesn't feel like there's anything interesting.
Speaker 11 (38:22):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Actually I have a couple, Okay. Marvin Ernie Davis.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
Became the first African American to win the Heisman in
nineteen sixty one. In twenty eighteen, Derek Henry ran for
a I guess he tied an NFL record with a
ninety nine yard touchdown run against the Jaguars.
Speaker 11 (38:37):
He couldn't get a hundred.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Okay, well you can't get a hundred, but interception return thinking, well,
they're in the end zone when they they count Derek
Henry at the line of screw.
Speaker 10 (38:48):
So Derek Henry should get in the end zone and
then break the rend.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
No, because of the balls in the end zone. Then
it belongs to the why are we doing this because
we're two utes? No, but we're closing up shop here.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
What time you later?
Speaker 6 (38:58):
The ball from your own one and you catch it
from like two yards in the end zone. You shouldn't
count that, I guess as one hundred and two yard rush.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
They should look at that from where they kept.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Them, because the quarterback throws from the end zone. They
don't go that was one hundred and four yard touchdown.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
They should look at that. They should look at that.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
We were having a good show up until there. Still
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. How
about we go around the room what we learn on
the program DoD.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
There likely won't be a Waterboy too, but if there
is one, the sam Man says he would work the
Dan nuts in somehow.
Speaker 13 (39:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Uh see O'Connor, it's like our last shot as a
son of the water Boy.
Speaker 8 (39:36):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
I don't know if there's going to be another sequel
there with Samdler.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
He said, you were like, hey, can you put them
in another movie?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
He's like, yeah, put them in the water Boy? Okay, cool?
When are you shooting that?
Speaker 11 (39:44):
Never?
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah, oh, Marvin, what did you learn to the booger?
Speaker 11 (39:49):
Compared brock Party to John Stockton.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
That's not see come on exactly what I heard.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
No, Stockton had fifteen thousand assists fourteen thousand.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Felton Spencer, thanks for joining us. Have a great weekend everybody.
We look forward to chatting with you on Monday.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Take care,
