Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah, the only one dressed up.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well, I don't think there was a memo that was
sent out that we should be dressing up as pilgrims.
It's implied. Yeah, is that a bonnet? It is a bonnet.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
It's a bonnet, and it's a double XL dress, which
is the largest they made for women though.

Speaker 3 (00:50):

(01:53):
also have our good buddy Ross Tucker, CBS Sports Westwood One.
He's gotten a brain and Iowa coming up tomorrow. He'll
join us in a little bit. All right, Seetan, what's
the pole question for the final hour on this Wednesday?

Speaker 6 (02:08):
Yeah, let me update you here. Who are you rooting for?
Right now? Fifty seven percent of the audience rooting for
the Cowboys over the Chiefs. Which Thanksgiving menu do you prefer?
This is a battle royale? This keeps going back and
forth right now fifty one percent suggesting more modern menu?

(02:29):
Which would be you know, turkey, stuffing or dressing, whichever
you call it. Yeah, mashed potatoes, green bean castle, et cetera, etc.

Speaker 7 (02:37):
Etc.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, And we also have.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Up there sort of a March Madness bracket style thing
of sides, and right now about forty percent of that
still have stuffing.

Speaker 8 (02:49):
Yeah, I just I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
I'm in the minority here. I find it over raided
pumpkin pie. Nobody claps, nobody clat it's a beautiny. Yeah,
it's okay. I said I'm in the minority. I mean,
I'm correct, but I'm in the minority. Stuffing overrated, Yeah, Paul.

Speaker 9 (03:07):
It's funny.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
A lot of people get really creative with stuffing. The
old school stovetop out of the box is just fine.

Speaker 9 (03:14):
Have you had that?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, I'm not a stuffing guy.

Speaker 8 (03:18):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Stuffing is kind of like russell sprouts that you have
to kind of enhance it a little bit so it
tastes better, like everybody's going to. Have you tried adding
oysters to it? Have you tried adding pepperoni to wait?
Is stuffing great? Then let it stand on its own marriage.
I think that you're sort of using its versatility against it.
Then it's something that can wear many hats, attack many hats,

(03:44):
many hats. Fresh in Milwaukee, Hi Fresh? What's on your mind?

Speaker 10 (03:49):
What's a DP?

Speaker 11 (03:51):
Dan?

Speaker 12 (03:51):
It?

Speaker 13 (03:51):
Happy?

Speaker 10 (03:52):
Thanksgiving? Got a little question, like a pole question. I
want to know what's worse a franchise for twenty plus
years and never win in a championship or what we
consider to be a great player never to win a
championship in their career.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Wait, so what's worse an owner who doesn't win anything
or a player who doesn't? Yes, well, it feels like
an owner he's owning the entire team as more of
a say and who you have and who you keep
and who coaches? So I mean, I know we don't
hold owners accountable other than Jerry Jones, like he hasn't

(04:30):
won anything in over thirty years. We don't hold Tony
Romo accountable that he didn't win, right, Yeah, Pauline, Yeah,
I think.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Even if you look back at the probably the one
seed of guys who didn't win Dan Marino, a lot
of people blame ownership and management and not surrounding him
with more talent at the wide receiver position.

Speaker 9 (04:53):
Running backs.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Okay, who is the owner of the Miami Dolphins back
when Dan Marino went to the Super Bowl in his
second year. In the end, NFL wasn't Joe Robbie, right,
is it Joe Robbie's dad?

Speaker 9 (05:10):
It was Joe Robbie.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Okay, Yeah, okay, Joseph Joe Robbie. Yeah. Does anybody hold
him accountable that he didn't win a title as an owner?

Speaker 7 (05:20):
I now, oh you do at Joe Robbie Stadium?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah? All right, yeah. Uh. Let's see Dylan in Washington. Hi, Dylan.
You guys got to get ready with your most most
win game of the weekend. All right, all right, Hey Dylan.

Speaker 14 (05:35):
Well, good morning Fellas I was as you were talking
about Brian Kelly golfing in Florida and recruiting, it kind
of got me thinking about the landscape of recruiting, and
I was changed with Nil involved, and and kind of
the player's perspectives now being I don't know, the psychology

(05:57):
is maybe they're more uh oriented towards how much money
am I going to get versus this school versus maybe
fifteen years ago. You had these kids growing up, as
you know, they were loyal to their home states college
and you know, strictly thinking I'm going to go there,
and then all of a sudden, you get these money

(06:18):
offers coming at you today. So how does that change
up the landscape with coaches thinking, oh, well, they're going
into this thinking, well, these kids are now just thinking
about money.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
They are, and they're all exchanging information about money. Everybody
knows what everybody's making here. It's even more important to
recruit because it used to be well, you grew up
in Ohio, you're going to Ohio State. You grew up
in Michigan, you're going to Michigan. That's not the case anymore.
Kids are all over the country now because I can
go play there. Oh I'm not going to play there.

(06:52):
I can go over here. Wait, they're going to offer
me this. So yes, now it's changed. Now you have
to have more attention to detail with these kids. They're
not just blind loyalist. Yeah seeon Yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
I think sometimes when we're talking about sports, though, numbers
are so insane, and we just throw around like twenty million,
forty five seventy five million, two million dollar of this
and that, and I think that sometimes we forget, because
it's in a sports context, just how much money two
million dollars is. Two million dollars is an insane amount
of money that most people will never even you total

(07:26):
up how much money they make in their entire lifetime,
they won't hit two million dollars. Most people a huge
the ninety percent of the population will never see two
million dollars in their whole lifetime.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
And these kids are.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
Like, well, you should be thinking about your future. Yeah,
you know what's best for my future? Two million dollars
in my bank account when you know what's great after that?
Twenty million after that, and then two hundred after that.
I'm taking the two million now. I know that people
like to say, like, what about loyalty? What about come on?
You should be going to what You're from Michigan, you
play for miss come on? Just what That's not the
real world anymore. That's not the world that we live

(07:59):
in at all. Paul in Orlando, Hi Paul, what's on
your mind today?

Speaker 8 (08:08):
Hey?

Speaker 11 (08:08):
DP, you had me rolling the other day. You shared
the story about what you're going to do when you
retire and what your wife said, and you told her
you were going to go to football games, college football games. Hey,
I've been there, did that about ten years ago. I'm
seventy one now. My wife said, what but anyway. So
I've been to forty nine different venues loved it. And

(08:28):
I've been over one hundred and some campuses to work
out and get a signature pitcher on the football field.
But my advice, my advice is to invite your wife
to Blacksburg, Virginia, to Fayette Phill, Arkansas, the Lumbo, Texas,
and you know she's going to decline, and you go
out there peace of mind.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Now, my wife would go, she would go for the experience.
Now it doesn't matter, she'll go. She may not know
anything about it or necessary really care about it. But
if you're going to something that is live, it's something different,
then she's all in. Yes, Dylan, I.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Feel like that's true with a lot of things, like
most concerts, even if you're not a fan of whatever
band like, you'll have a good time.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Well, we had tickets to see Patty Smith on Friday
night that my wife got me tickets see Patti Smith.
Now I didn't ask her for that, but I said, yeah,
I'd be open to it. Well, we got back from
Vegas too late, so I couldn't see Patty Smith in concert.
But I'm going to a Broadway play on Friday. I
didn't pick it, but I'm like, hey, let's go. You

He was Andy Weber, though he wouldn't have done.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, but he was married to Sarah Brightman and she
was there with Michael Crawford with the Phantom of the Opera.
We had the last two seats in the last row

You weren't Dan Patrick Yate.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
No, I was not. I was. I was no buddy,

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Were allowed to bring outside food in. I think that's changed.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, but not as bad as when I went to
We went to see Platoon, and we brought in red
wine and sushi, and I remember I got I got up,
I hit the glass of wine and it went all
over my wife. She had a white sweater on. So

(12:30):
when we came out of the movie, you know, the
next wave of people going in, and it looked like
my wife had been shot. Like she like, holy, they're
actually using live bullets there in the movie.

Speaker 9 (12:41):
Platoon was interactive, yes, like Gallagher.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Meets Yeah, like, oh my god. And it looked like
she had blood, you know, on her bloodstain on her sweater.

Speaker 7 (12:50):
Yes, what a date night movie that was.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Oh I know, I know.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Well it is funny to like dress up for like
how people dress up as Foor.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
For the New And she's like, I'm just a big fan.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yes, yes, and you tailgate at these musicals. Oh yeah,
but yeah, we were big on bringing in stuff or
you know, bring in a I try to get a
can of beer and you try to open it up,
like you time it where you think something's gonna be
an explosion. All of a sudden, you're like, looks like
an explosion, and all of a sudden there's silence and

(13:25):
it's and then I'm like ah, and then if you
put the beer can down and it rolls down the
aisle there, Yeah, those were the days being in love
kids in New York City. Let's see. Okay, so can
we do the best week in sports or do we

(13:45):
want to wait until after I mean most must win game?

Speaker 9 (13:49):
Yeah, we have time before a Ross.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, Dylan, I'll start with you. The most must win
game of the weekend?

Speaker 4 (13:55):
All right, Dan, you touched on it earlier. But the
Buffalo Bill's at the Steelers. Rogers looks like in my play,
But Bills are sitting at seven and four, coming off
a bad loss to the Texans that we actually watched together,
and they're not gonna win the division, so they need
to kind of get that record.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Okay, Seaton, massive massive must win game, Alabama Iron Bowl.
They have to beat Auburn this weekend. They're I think
where are they ten? Are they tenth right now? In
the college football playoff? I feel like this is a
big game for them.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Auburn has a really good defense. They just don't have
an experienced quarterback. I think they started a freshman last game.

Speaker 15 (14:34):
All right, Marvin the Baltimore Ravens playing Joe Burrow coming
back for the Bengals. They're trying to stay afloat in
the AFC North, So big time game for the Ravens.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
All Ole Miss at Mississippi State. You cannot lose after
this week you've had. If you're laying kipping'sta can score.
They can make this a ball again. They almost always
make it a ball game. It's only a seven to
eight point spread. Yeah, perception wise and every playoff wise.
You cannot lose if your old miss.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
HM Oregon in Washington, Oregon at Washington after beating USC Oregon,
I think a six and a half point favorite in
that game. That is the most must win game of
the weekend. More of your phone calls coming up. We
will talk to our good buddy Ross Tucker right after

(15:25):

into the weekend. Our good friends at King sawand go
to Kingswainan dot Com all your recipe inspirations, shuffles in Phoenix,
Hi Shuffles. What's on your mind today?

Speaker 17 (16:31):
Good morning Dan and the Dan Nets. I'm calling in
for the best week in sports. I would have to
say it would be Arizona Wildcats. They have a nice
early season run going on. More importantly, they went into
Connecticut or Connecticut and they beat the Huskies, which means
that I might have the best week in sports because
Marvin Prince might have to take is going to have
to take a pie of the face. But that leads

(16:53):
me to another Prince which might be a Paul question.
Because I remember Ross had been on previously, and I
think he said that Taylor Swift was a better musician
than Prince, and I was wondering if we could make
that a poll question of if you could take Taylor
Swift or Prince as your musician, who would you pick?
I know who I would pick, And I'm wondering if
Ross could maybe clarify that when he's on And with that, thank.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
You Todd, all right, Paulie. I wasn't here when Ross
said this.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah, this was very controversial, but h Taylor Swift and
Ross Tucker are from the same hometown basically, and you
think he over supports her over Prince.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, she's not a great musician. I mean, Prince is
one of the great musicians, great guitar players of all time.
He can play every instrument.

Speaker 9 (17:38):
She's a genius businesswoman.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, she can write lyrics. It's a great songwriter. Ye,
she's an unbelievable song great songwriter. Yeah, but like that's
a big difference than being a musician. Princes off the church.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
Great.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Let's see Jack in New Hampshire. Good morning Jack, what's
on your mind? Five pounds height for two?

Speaker 18 (18:06):
I have a question for Dylan, are you gonna do
Todd's Thanksgiving players.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh are you gonna do the the Thanksgiving related sports names.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
I feel like I've already done a good job embarrassing
myself enough today, so I'll see if I can cook.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I mean, this is for the kids, this is for
Jack and New Hampshire.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
It is for Jack. Now, I'll see. I mean they're
probably written downside they are.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, yeah, Todd's got his Manila folder there of Thanksgiving names. Jack.
I'm going to see if he can do that for you.
But thank you for calling and happy Thanksgiving you too.

Speaker 12 (18:40):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Alrighty, that's Jack in New Hampshire. Seemed a little sad
that we wouldn't be able to do the names there.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Didn't even consider that.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Mike and Cincinnati. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind?

Speaker 17 (18:54):
Hey man?

Speaker 13 (18:54):
Thanks for taking with cool. Yeah, let's just here. I
think you're really the really, really really mind already know
that stuffing. You really don't like that stuff?

Speaker 17 (19:02):
Huh no.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
No, it's got onions in it, Mike and Christy on.

Speaker 13 (19:06):
The outside and then kind of kind of soft on
the inside and load it up with some gravy. It's
just not your gig.

Speaker 8 (19:13):
Huh No.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
But see you're adding things to it. Now you're gonna
put gravy on it. If stuffing is great, let stuffing
stand by itself. That's all. And I mean I am
in the minority, but I'm willing to try some stuffing today. Uh.
Steven Jersey, Hi, Steve.

Speaker 19 (19:32):
Hey, Dan step from Jersey five. Here's here's the hard
hitting question, Dan on this whole stuffing thing. What's the
most important thing next season at this time we ban
stuffing from a giving? Or do we ban the Eagles
from stuff in the ball down my giant's throat?

Speaker 8 (19:52):
Don't.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I don't want you to ban stuffing. I'm just telling
you I don't need it. It's just a personal choice.
But I give thanks that we have the opportunity to
choose what we're having for Thanksgiving. Yes, Marvin, and he
got on me about my turkey. Well, no, you got
to have turkey for Thanksgiving. I think you should. Now
you want to have ham as an accompaniment, That's fine.

(20:16):
Ham's great. That's all.

Speaker 20 (20:22):
There.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Ross Tucker CBS Sports Westwood one college football analyst and
you can follow him on social media at Ross Tucker NFL.
He was in the booth for the Browns and the
Raiders last weekend, and he'll be on the call for
Iowa and Nebraska, kicking off tomorrow at noon Eastern non CBS.
Let's get the important question out of the way. Have
you ever eaten a whole turkey?

Speaker 8 (20:46):
No?

Speaker 12 (20:46):
I don't think so, but I think I probably could
if I really wanted to. I definitely could have. When
I was high school, college of the NFL. I mean,
I look back on it now and my wife's marvels.
Then when we first were in Dallas and Chipotle, that's
when Chipotle started. I used to eat two burritos, no problem.

Speaker 8 (21:10):
High school and college. I used to go to Subway.

Speaker 12 (21:13):
And get two foot long bmt's biggest medias tastiest. I
would get double meat ad bacon and eat two foot
longs like I wasn't eating machine for a good ten
year period of my life.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
All Right, that's all I wanted to talk to you about.
Happy Thanksgiving? There Where do you want to start? What's
your biggest question mark that will be answered this weekend
in the NFL?

Speaker 12 (21:43):
Ooh, that is a really really good one, man. I
feel like the NFL did a terrific job with these
standalone games.

Speaker 8 (21:52):
The next couple of days. You know, I mean Packers Lions.

Speaker 12 (21:56):
I'm not sure I look at them either one of
them right now, Dan as super Bowl contenders.

Speaker 8 (22:03):
You know, when I go on all the other shows,
all you.

Speaker 12 (22:05):
Know, wherever I cheat on you. Sometimes I do go
on other shows from time to time they'll say who
are the legit super Bowl contenders? And I guess right now,
I kind of feel like I have a tough time
picturing it being anybody other than the Rams or the
Eagles in the NFC. And I say that because the
Lions and Packers just haven't shown enough consistency for me

(22:27):
to picture them winning three playoff games. And even the Seahawks,
so I think, are really good. I don't think they're
going to win that division. So does that mean I
think Sam Darnold's gonna win three road playoff games? I don't,
So I think right now it's the Eagles or the Rams,
with the Rams pretty clearly I think being the best
team in football. So that Lions Packers matchup is huge

(22:50):
for both those teams. You know, I'm curious to see
if the Cowboys can keep this momentum going after the
win against the Eagles, whereas the Chiefs finally only won
a one score game, and they look like a good
team in that game, and then even you know, tomorrow night,
Joe Burrow out there, and then I can't believe that.
I mean, out of all the games, for the Black

(23:11):
Friday game to be eight and three Bears eight and
three Eagles. I don't know many people were expecting that
when that first came out. So kudos tip of the
cap to the NFL schedule makers for the standalone game
the next couple.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Of days better for the NFL if the Cowboys win
or the Chiefs win.

Speaker 8 (23:30):
Ooh.

Speaker 12 (23:32):
I think if the Cowboys win, because the Cowboys still
have some more standalone games.

Speaker 8 (23:39):
If they lose, they're pretty much done. You know. If
they lose, they're out of it.

Speaker 12 (23:45):
If they win, then the following Thursday they play the
Lions on Thursday Night Football be calling that game for
west Wood.

Speaker 8 (23:53):
Won, then the Cowboys all of a sudden have a
real chance and get interesting.

Speaker 12 (23:58):
Plus even if the Chiefs lose, I almost think it
makes them more compelling for the rest of the year
as they scratch and claw to try to make the playoffs,
to try to get a chance to get into the tournament.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
So I think it's better for the NFL.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
If the Cowboys win, Joe Burrow is going to play
against the Ravens. Like they may not make the playoffs.
I'm talking about the Bengals. Obviously it's a long shot,
but they're going to decide who wins the AFC North
because you got the Ravens twice. Now. Chris collins Worth
yesterday said he would not bring back Joe Burrow. What
do you think.

Speaker 12 (24:33):
I don't think I would either. I don't think I
would either. You know, Unfortunately, Joe is injury prone. I
think last year might have been the only year where
he didn't get injured.

Speaker 8 (24:46):
It's clearly a lost season.

Speaker 12 (24:48):
Even in this game at Baltimore, you don't have Trey Hendrickson,
you don't have t Higgins, and I'm sure Burrow will
play well enough in these games that they'll win. Love him,
and you know, I think the fans will appreciate that
he's out there playing. He wants to play, but man,
he'd better be one hundred percent Dan. He hed better

(25:10):
not be even a little bit compromised because I'm gonna
be watching that.

Speaker 8 (25:14):
We all will Thursday night.

Speaker 12 (25:16):
You know what they're gonna do They're gonna bring pressure
on them, make him move around. This is the NFL. Okay.
If they're not sure whether or not you're one hundred percent,
they're going.

Speaker 8 (25:26):
To test it. Right.

Speaker 12 (25:28):
Like if I played against the guy and he had
a bad arm or had his hand in the cast,
I attacked that arm, you know, like I I ran
that way. I mean like, if there's a scab in
the NFL, you pick it. So Joe Burrow better not
have a scab because they'll attack it if he does.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Talking to Ross Tucker the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, you
can follow him on social media at Ross Tucker NFL.
He'll be on the call for Iowa and Nebraska Friday
at noon Eastern on CBS. Last weekend, you got to
call Shudor Sanders first NFL start. Did he do enough
to warrant starting against the Niners this weekend?

Speaker 8 (26:05):
No question? I was impressed Dan.

Speaker 12 (26:07):
I thought overall it was a very favorable evaluation.

Speaker 8 (26:12):
He didn't light the world on fire. They didn't need
him to.

Speaker 12 (26:16):
He did have a tremendous throw on the run to
Isaiah Bond. I just can't picture Dylan Gabriel making that play.
But you know what it was Dan. Maybe this is
me as the former offensive lineman. It was the eye test.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
You know.

Speaker 12 (26:30):
He wasn't drifting out of the back of the pocket.
He was stepping up as they encouraged him to do.
He was getting rid of the ball pretty quickly. He
was poised, he was composed.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
Now.

Speaker 12 (26:42):
I don't know why the Raiders didn't blitz him more
than they did, but he only took one sack. He
got fooled on an interception. That'll happen. I think he
thought the guy was buzzing to the flat. They kind
of tricked him on that one. But I would say
the biggest thing for me was from that second half
against the raven to this game against the Raiders, there

(27:02):
was clear strides. I mean, he made significant improvement in
getting rid of the ball and not taking sacks and
not drifting back in the pocket. I like everybody else,
especially Browns fans, I want to see more. I want
to see how much he improves from start one to
start two.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
But you know this feeling as well as anybody. When
you go to the line of scrimmage you're an offensive lineman.
The difference between I have no idea to you know,
this guy's got a little bit of confidence there, or
he can throw the ball downfield. It just felt like
he gave his team a lift because they knew that
he Dylan Gabriel's not making those twenty yard throws and

(27:41):
Shador is not afraid. He's got a better arm, and
it just feels like they're a little more threatening now.
I know when they got down to the goal line,
they got into the red zone, they weren't you know,
it wasn't Shador. They were a running football team, which
is what it feels like. Kevin Stefanski still wants to be, Yeah.

Speaker 12 (27:59):
The wildcat, which, by the way, I feel like, and
I said this during the broadcast, that's so demoralizing for
the Raiders.

Speaker 8 (28:06):
You know, when the other team.

Speaker 12 (28:07):
Says, we're gonna tell you right now, there's no chance
we're throwing the ball, zero chance, and they still run
it right down your throat. That's a little embarrassing if
you ask me. But you're right about Shador Driver. I'll
say this, that was the best the offensive line's played
all year, I thought. And it's almost like talking with

(28:28):
Joel Buttonio the day before the game.

Speaker 8 (28:31):
They knew that they needed to, you know.

Speaker 12 (28:35):
Rise their level of play to help Shador, to give
him a chance. But did you see Miles Garrett's face
when Shador threw that bomb to bond As By the way,
he was getting smashed by Max Crosby. You know he
did enough, and it's almost like his reputation precedes him.
They know he had a lot of flashy plays in

(28:55):
college that he did Engender and Foster. I think some
amongst the players, which really goes a long way now
that can go out of the window quick too. But
I think you know, if you think to your quarterback
gives you a legit chance and you feel good about
your quarterback, it makes a big difference.

Speaker 8 (29:13):
I've been on both sides of that.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
If I told you in August Matthew Stafford would win
the NFL MVP, you would have said, what, You're an idiot?

Speaker 12 (29:23):
I mean, Dan, this is how dumb I am. On
the even Money betting podcast, all we kept saying is
take the under on Stafford passing yards because remember during
training camp he didn't do any he had a hernia
disc in his back, he got an epidural he is
having I don't have the stats.

Speaker 8 (29:44):
Maybe somebody can check me. Statt of the day, but.

Speaker 12 (29:47):
He's having the greatest season by a thirty seven year
old with a hernia, a disk epidural.

Speaker 8 (29:52):
Will never practice one time during training camp and NFL history,
I mean, he's clearly the MVP.

Speaker 12 (29:58):
After not doing anything, He's now setting the template for
all older quarterbacks. I'm gonna do nothing during training camp,
not practice one time. I'll show up the first week
of the season and just be awesome.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Safe travels to Nebraska. I hope it's a great Thanksgiving
out there for you. Is that a direct flight?

Speaker 8 (30:19):
It is not a direct flight. Nope, I'll be uh.
I'll be pit stop, quick, pitstop in Chicago. But I
love you know, I love college football.

Speaker 12 (30:26):
I love rivalries, and I love how much this game
means the people of Iowa and Nebraska. That's what you want,
right as a broadcaster. You want to be calling big
games that mean a lot to the people involved.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
That'll be Friday at noon Eastern, non CBS.

Speaker 8 (30:39):
Thank you, Ross, Thank you did.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's the great, great Ross Tucker there gonna do Iowa
and Nebraska. Dylan is out cooking. I was gonna have
him do his uh Thanksgiving related sports names. Uh. I
think he's dashing in from outside he's trying. He's doing
double duty here, he's trying to cook but also sitting
in for Fritzie Dylan, are you capable of doing the

(31:05):
sports names in uh, you know, honor of Todd Fritz,
who's not here.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
I am damn.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
I actually cooked up some purely based off of our
menu today.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
All right, so we got squash Allen.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
So Josh Allen, Squash Allen, Squash Allen.

Speaker 9 (31:21):
That's gonna bother Todd.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Cooper Flagg, who's the white lobster named by this show.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
He's the white lobster.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yep, that Cooper flag.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
No, I got it. Eric Musselman, all right, we got
muscles to the USC head coach.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Duck Devlin.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, we have backup quarterback.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Yeah, gotten Duck the Cornish game Cocks. That's the closest
I could get with that one.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
And then Tyler SeaBASS.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Tyler SeaBASS, all of a sudden, I'm missing Fritzy. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
I think it might be, which was I think the
original point. If we go all the way back to ESPN,
it might be a design flaw and not necessarily an
execution flaw. It might not be the person doing it.
It just might be the entire concept of the names themselves.
That's a flawed idea.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
All right, when we come back, what we learn, what's
in store for Thursday, last call for phone calls, and
we play the stick or Repick Lane Kiffen game. All
of that coming up right after this.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
And Dan, while you're looking. We got a suggestion from
the back room. Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Yamamoto, Yamamoto, Nil, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
I hit these the symbols so hard. I don't where
my glasses are. I'll go help you.

Speaker 8 (33:06):
Are they behind me? Oh? There I go.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
I got is a Velma Scooby Doo moment.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Oh I got it, Thank you, seed, I got got
a little caught up there and banging the symbols there,
Yamamoto banging on the drums all day, very rockstar.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Of you losing your glasses mid.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Gong bang a gong get it on. Chris in Germany, Hi, Chris,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 11 (33:35):
Hey?

Speaker 17 (33:35):
Dan uh Well, I just called in.

Speaker 8 (33:39):
I am in the Army.

Speaker 20 (33:40):
I was stationed in Kuwait all of twenty four into
twenty five. I was in an undiscodisclosed place while I
was there when the Iran Israel stuff was going on,
and I witnessed that. I found out two weeks after
that was over that I had melanoma on my left leg.

(34:01):
I flew to Germany, I had surgery. I was pretty
much immobilized for a couple of months and feeling good
back to work on my feet. I'm stationed here in
Germany and I'm going to be spending Thanksgiving in Brussels
on a Trappist beer tour.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Ah. Who has it better than you do? No, buddy, Well, Chris,
I'm glad you're up and moving around in any part
that we played in your rehab. Glad to do it.
That's us serving our country there by serving those who
served our country. So thank you, Chris, and I hope
it's a great day for you. Scott in Florida, Hi Scott,

(34:40):
what's on your mind? Scott?

Speaker 8 (34:48):
Scott?

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Randy and Wyoming, Hi, Randy, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 7 (34:53):
Hey Dan?

Speaker 21 (34:54):
Nice doctor. You guys talking about the best weekend. Josh
Allen got his jersey, retired, and you in Wyoming got
to dig in and to see you rampin it all.
It suck to be a ram and then he flew
home with Hailey. Doesn't get much better?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Nuts all right, well, thank you?

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Ready?

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yeah, Josh Allen got his jersey, he retired, I would say,
marrying his girlfriend, Hailey Steinfeld. It's Mike winning a super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Apparently her fan some of her fans are not very
nice to Josh Allen say something.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
I don't know. They're compared.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
They're like all the Swifties loved Travis Kelsey, but he's
kind of Josh gets ragged on in the comments by
Steinfeldian's or whatever.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
It's just all right, Uh, are you going to stick
with your pick? Are you going to Repick where Lane
Kiffin is going to be by this weekend? All right, yes,
I'll go first.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
Last week I picked that he's going to LSU. I
would think that even more so now after the delays.

Speaker 7 (35:51):
Marvin, I definitely think he's going to l s U.

Speaker 6 (35:55):
Ain't Seaton, I think I think I picked four Florida
the last time. I'm gonna by the end of the segment,
I feel like I also talked myself into the LSU
as well. I'm gonna stick with Florida though. The fella
he's just got Gator. I could see him in that uniform,
in those colors, visor the whole thing. He feels like

(36:16):
a Florida Gators.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
How about you, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
I don't know what Todd picked, but I have a
bit of a curveball.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Eli Manning interferes and between ole Miss and the Giants,
he helps him go to the Giants.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Oh no, he said the weather's too cold. Then he
stays at ole Miss. All right, thank you. Either way
Eli's involved, it could be either the Giants or Old Miss,
his alma mater. Yeah, I think LSU just feels like it.
If he was staying, he would announce it. If he
announces it prior to the game, and he is staying, great,

(36:51):
But it just feels like it's gonna leak. It'll leak
before this game. Nobody keeps a secret anymore, so that
probably have somebody say, you know what I was told? Hey,
don't tell anybody, but Lane Kiffin is whatever Sam and Aspen. Hi, Sam,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 18 (37:12):
Heydp, First time, long time been listening to you guys
about since that tiny boy. I wanted to throw out
a Thanksgiving sports name, hoping to salvage Joans of town. Okay,
all right, So I believe the young man who called
earlier this hour, who requested was Jack in new Ham. Sure,

(37:34):
Jack in new Ham?

Speaker 8 (37:35):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Okay, all right, all right, we kind of bundled that
together with all the other bad ones that Dylan had.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Squash Allen is way better.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Squash Allen was great, But you should have stopped there.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
I had to do every food, Okay.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
This day in sports history, Paul.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
Nineteen seventeen, the NHL was founded. The first teams were
the Montreal Wanderers, Montreal Canadians, the Ottawa Senators, the Toronto Arenas,
and the Quebec Bulldogs. And Barry Sanders in nineteen ninety
eight went over the fifteen thousand yard mark.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Nineteen eighty nine, Flipper Anderson fifteen catches, three hundred and
thirty six yards and a touchdown. The Rams beat the
Saints in overtime on this date. In nineteen sixty three,
Roger Staubach wins the Heisman Trophy. Also on this date,
nineteen seventy five, Freddie Lynn the first rookie ever to
be named MVP. Former USC trojan Freddy Lynn. Nineteen sixty one,

(38:35):
the Pro Baseball Rules Committee voted eight to one against
legalizing the spitball. How much more fun would we have
somebody loading up a pitch, big goober on there. Yes,
Marvin the catcher wouldn't like it. No, he would not. No,
But imagine that, you know you were allowed to throw

(38:56):
a spitball before that. Carve it up a little bit.
I remember talking to a well known picture and I
joke with him. I said, who scuffed your ball for you?
And he said, my third basement and they go oh.

(39:17):
I said okay. He said, yeah, one of the one
of those eyelets on your glove and it was up
a little bit so he would get it and then
he would scuff it up his third baseman. Ah, the
good old days, and and cheating was cheating, and we
were okay with it. Let's go around the room see

(39:39):
if we learned anything on this program, Dylan, what did
you learn today?

Speaker 4 (39:43):
According to Brady Quinn, defensive players not the sharpest tools in.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
The shed.

Speaker 10 (39:48):
Seet.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
What did you learn today? I learned the original menu
of the first Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, sixteen twenty one. Marvin, did you learn anything today?

Speaker 7 (39:56):
I did see it. Likes his turkey dry?

Speaker 2 (40:00):
What did you learn today?

Speaker 5 (40:01):
With all the seafood back at Thanksgiving in sixteen twenty one?
Probably not great for leftovers.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Maybe gout too, probably factored in back then? Put Dylan,
what did I learn today?

Speaker 3 (40:12):
First Thanksgiving? Not too shabby?

Speaker 2 (40:14):
No, not too shabby at all. Hopefully the women look
better than you're looking with your outfit today.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
They probably looked a lot like me on they do
