to come on all the time.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, he used to like us.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, yeah, our relationship is probably rapport, very rapport.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Okay, thank you, Thank you Sierra. It'd be nice to
say you o tour again.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yes, Paul, Based off that.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
List of seleebrities, who would you most want to attend
an F one race with Vegas or other?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I would say Beyonce. Yeah, and she had her racing
Did you see your outfit? Yeah, full fire suit she

ready for something. Uh yeah, I would say Beyonce. I

Speaker 3 (01:29):
I don't know what we would talk about. But so
you like, uh you like car racing?

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Do you like to do you like to go fast?

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Remember when you were in Destiny's Chile?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Remember that? Remember you were in Austin Powers remember that.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
So you need a celebrity who's a little less famous
to comfortably hang Jeremy Renner. You could have a couple,
you know, cocktails, hang out.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, he's pretty.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
He's real famous, but like not Beyonce famous.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
Yeah, Jeremy Renner seems like a fairly normal guy.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I could hang with Jeremy Renn. Okay, I can hang
with Jeron Mark Wahlberg. He's real health conscious though. Salad. Yeah,
Ben Affleck doesn't drink anymore, not this late at night.
You know what that's gonna do.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Wahlberg laughed, after five laps. To go get some.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Sleep, Magic Johnson, tell me how many championships have you won?

Speaker 7 (02:25):
Magic?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
I think it's eighteen or nineteen.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I Gordon Ramsey, No, no, really, no, it seems annoying.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
He puts on a show on his show.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, I know, maybe he's could have killed by.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
One time this day he got like some like raw
chicken in one of his meals and it was there.
I don't know if it was raw, but it was
it was undercooked for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
And him he was screaming at the just the best.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
All right, we got football coming up tonight. It's the
Niners and Panthers. Surprisingly interesting for me and an important game.
And you got the Niners are favored by seven and
a half. The Raiders have fired Chip Kelly's their offensive coordinator.
The Giants fired their defensive coordinator, Shane Bowen. And you know,

(03:16):
when you get to the fourth quarter and you're leading
in five games this year, you've blown five fourth quarter leads.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I would say that's coaching.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
That would be quarterback play as well, but you fired
your defensive coordinator. This according to Ian Rappaport, what's pull
question for the final hour of the program? Rick new
heiswal Jonas. We'll see if Rick's got an answer for
the Lane Kiffin question. Also, what's the committee do with
Notre Dame and Miami? Since Miami beat Notre Dame, but

(03:45):
Notre Dame is going to be ranked higher with the
selection committee. All right, seetan most surprising division leader.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
Right now, the Bears have sixty two percent of that vote,
followed by the Patriots at just nineteen. Colts have ten
percent of that vote.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Is a surprise.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
And then above five hundred team that you believe in
the least. Right now, the Panthers have forty seven percent
of that vote, followed by the Jaguars.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah. I give the Panthers credit. I don't know how
they're doing it, but you know, when you beat green
Bay and Green Bay that tells me a little bit
about you and that they didn't quit on the season.
And if they could somehow get eight nine wins, man,

(04:29):
that would be impressive.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Paulie Bryce Young fourteen touchdowns, seven picks, decent rushing yard,
good quarterback rating. Everything's better than last year, more consistent
than last year.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Pete in Iowa. Then we'll get to Rick Neuheisel.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Hi Pete hi oh, long time caller and listener. I
just wondered if you got to see the iowha at
Cajun Wag didn't won a game almost by himself as
a punt returner, had three punt return yards for one
hundred and seven yards. They might have got The Michigan
State coach fired over that deal because they kept kicking

(05:06):
to him and in the game, the announcers kept saying,
don't kick to him, and Michigan State went back and
looked like they're going to go for it three times
on fourth down, and the quarterback dropped back and punted
it just so we wouldn't be back there, and it
ended up costing him the game.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
All right, well, big win for Iowa Michigan State. They
used to be something. Wasn't that long ago when they
were something? Not anymore. Rick new Heizel. You can see
him on CBS college football analyst also former college coach
as well.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
All right, here we are on the Monday. Do we
have him almost ready? Almost? Oh? Okay, I was doing
my big presentation there.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
You can't ramp that up again.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, okay, So are we good? We are? Okay?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I'm not seeing Rick's face here? Is he not able
to come? So this is just a phone Intervieah.

Speaker 8 (06:09):
He's having trouble his camera. He's got to do audio
on that.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Okay, that's fine, all right, all right, Rick?

Speaker 2 (06:13):
So I can't see you, but I can hear you
here we are them on Elane Kiffin supposed to make
his decision by Friday, maybe Saturday. What do you think
that decision will be.

Speaker 9 (06:25):
I had originally thought Dan that he was going to
go to Florida. I think that was kind of always
in the back of his mind what he wanted to do.

Speaker 10 (06:34):
But the more.

Speaker 9 (06:34):
I'm listening to those who act like they're in the
know in the coaching fraternity more, I think LSU is
the favorite. I think LSU is in a state of
desperation given all the annexs that have taken place there.
And I know, given my conversations with Nick Saban, what

(06:55):
sort of personnel you can put together in the state
of Louisiana is the only you know, power for school
from that state and the amount of talent that exists
in that state. So I just think probably LSU right
now is the leaning is the favorite. But I won't
be shocked if it's Florida or LSU. I will be
shocked if it's Ole.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Miss Yeah. I'm just trying to understand this.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
And I brought this up on the show that documentary
ESPN did on Lane and finding happiness and peace of
mind and his family and everything was great in Oxford
and then But I don't know what it is about
the makeup of a lot of you coaches. It's all right,
I did, I accomplish what I wanted to hear. Now
I have to move like you have to keep moving.

(07:38):
What is that characteristic trait that it almost seems like
it's from birth with some of these coaches.

Speaker 9 (07:46):
Steve Mariucci came to the University of Washington for pro day.
He was looking at Marcus tuiasa Sopo and he sat
there and he said, you know, we should be in
like politicians.

Speaker 10 (07:56):
We should have a four year term.

Speaker 9 (07:59):
Successful, we should get re elected, and then we should
have term limits and go someplace else, because at the
end of eight years, all you've done is built up
expectations that if you make it, you're okay. It's relief
instead of jubilation, and you should be able to go
somewhere else and build it again and hopefully get another
fan base that's excited about you rather than now disappointed

(08:22):
that you're anxious, that you're humbering around the Mason Dixon line.
Dabo Sweeney would be an example of that.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Right.

Speaker 9 (08:30):
So, I just think that Lane is at a situation
now where he's got this amazing power. And then I
also think we have to point at the agent here.
Jimmy Sexton is playing this thing like a master violinist.
I mean, is it's a concerto. I mean, he's got

(08:51):
Kaylin de Boor's name in this thing. As interested in
potentially going to Penn State. That creates another suitor for
Lane if Alabama became open and all of a sudden,
now all these different people are trying to hang on
to their guy, and Jimmy's clients are sitting there, They're
all going to get the benefit of a new market
that has made So it's a wonderful, wonderful time of year.

Speaker 10 (09:15):
If you like this sort of thing, and it's driving
everybody else crazy.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
It may sound crazy to say this, but did Penn
State make a mistake in firing James Franklin?

Speaker 10 (09:24):
I think so. I mean, what are they going to get?

Speaker 9 (09:28):
Who are they going to get that's going to make
be better than James Franklin over the lifetime of a career.
Now it may turn out that way, but my goodness gracious,
to please the fan base, which obviously was pushing the
button to get rid of him, how are you going
to what name are you going to get that's out
there that's going.

Speaker 10 (09:45):
To do that?

Speaker 9 (09:46):
Now, Caitlyn de boor might, but that also is going
to require a major, major check writing campaign. And whether
or not they're they're feeling there up to that, we'll
wait and see, you.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Know, the whole Kaitlin to boar at Alabama and I
started to hear stuff, you know, I mean, and it's
not negative stuff. It's just as he happy or is
his family happy there? Whether that's true or not, but
it just kind of those are the things that linger.
And then I was told by somebody who talked about
chaos in the off season in college football, and I

(10:21):
don't know what exactly that means, but you're hinting at
chaos in the off season, and who.

Speaker 9 (10:26):
Benefits from that chaos other than this the agents. I mean,
they're in the transaction business. They want to sell houses, right,
they want they want more buying and selling, more commissions,
and it is a wonderful time of year for them.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Rick new Heisl, CBS sports college football analyst, former college
football head coach. How does the committee kind of find
a solution for the Notre Dame Miami conundrum?

Speaker 9 (10:53):
Wow, well, they keep them out of the same pool.
That was a revelation that Hunter Yurchik gave us last week.
They're not even being considered against each other. So when
the committee starts to put these things together, they put
three or four schools together in one deal, and now
they start analytic conversations and all the different machinations that

(11:13):
go into deciding which of those schools should be ranked
one and which should be ranked four. But if they're
not in the same pool, they don't ever get that
head to head conversation. So by virtue of the seventy
to seven victory over Syracuse, you could actually move Notre
Dame up a spot this week, right, You could put
them ahead of Oklahoma, And if you do that, you

(11:34):
might keep Miami from ever getting into the same pool
in terms of conversation with Notre Dame, which would be
a absolute head scratcher for all of us. Who remember,
I thought it mattered what happened on the field, But
it seems as if they're hell bent to get Notre
Dame in and Notre Dame's playing well, which makes it
easier for him, and Miami may never actually get considered

(11:57):
along with Notre Dame, which would be astly ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Ohio State hasn't really been challenged during the regular season,
and I don't know when you have a team that's
that good, but you get into the postseason, you know
you're going to have those close games, learning how to
win those close games. It feels like, you know, we
see this in March Madness. You can be the number
one team, but you're gonna have a close game, and that,

(12:22):
you know, can be the difference between you moving on
or you know, being knocked down. What do you expect
from Michigan against Ohio State.

Speaker 9 (12:32):
Oh if they're best shot, obviously, and then they're gonna hope,
like heck that Washington beats Oregon, right if that can happen,
then then we will check that box for Ohio State.
If they can win a close game against Michigan and
kind of shake this this Michigan flu that they've had

(12:52):
for the last four years. This this is a monster
game for Ohio State. They've rested their receivers, Carnel Tate
and Jeremiah Smith didn't play last week. A number of
guys were on the DL sort of speak and getting
ready for this game. This is a monster game because
Indiana's checked that box. We recall the comeback at Penn State,

(13:13):
Texas am A and m has checked that box coming
from behind thirty to three against South Carolina. We haven't
seen Ohio State do that. And I do believe Ohio
State's vulnerable in some areas, they just haven't been exposed.
So yeah, this is one of those deals where Brian
Day certainly wants to shake this, but he would like

(13:33):
there to be some challenge to it.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
How patient will Colorado be with Dean Sanders?

Speaker 10 (13:40):
I think patient.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
I think they've got so much money invested in him
that as long as he can convince him that he's
all in and will work hard to put together the
right stuff on the field, that we're not going to
let him go. You know, obviously, when you're not making
Bowl games, you're not worth eight figures, which is what
they're paying him. But the amount of attention that he

(14:03):
brought to the program, they've got to at least play
it out a few more years to see if he
can actually get this recruiting thing down. And Dion's got
to decide if he's healthy enough to actually go on
the road, because Dion in your home would be a
would be a big selling point. But he doesn't lead campus.
He does it all on the phone. Whether or not
that's good enough, We'll have to wait and see.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Thank you, bud uh, Happy holidays, and we'll talk to
you soon.

Speaker 10 (14:27):
Can't wait, buddy, talk to you soon.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Rick newl cbe a sports former college football coach as well. Yeah,
the Lane Kiffin situation, it really depends on the day
and the hour. It feels like and all this cryptic
you know, texting and you know, social media stuff, and
then you're like, just just concentrate on, you know, coaching
your team. I wondered, you know, when this offer came

(14:51):
out from LSU, is he going to coach this his team?
And if he does make his announcement, let's say he's
leaving on Saturday, he's going to take this job after
the season. Is he going to be able to coach
his team in the playoffs? Like you have to coach
the playoffs. But if you're old Missed, do you won
him coaching your team in the playoffs? Oh, it has

(15:15):
all the makings of being a disaster for Old miss Yes, Paulie,
I don't.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Want to put a monkey wrench at it, but can
you imagine if Mississippi State won, They're not the worst
team in the world.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
There'll be a lot of people rooting for Mississippi State
if they know Lane Kiffin is leaving to go tow NSU.

Speaker 10 (15:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Pay, it's only a touchdown spread, eight point seven point spread.
This is not like a thirty point game this week.

Speaker 11 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, Marvet, I feel like the Kiffin rule is
going to be implemented sooner than later. Like, if you're
under contract, you cannot be contacted.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, but his agent is contacted. I mean, they'll find
a way. It's always going to be a third party.
There's always going to be that somebody won twice removed
from the person you're trying to talk to.

Speaker 12 (16:01):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (16:01):
If there's any coach in college football who would get
a rule changed almost immediately, somehow, it's Lane Kiffin. Not
really sure why it would be him, but it'd be like,
oh great, look at well late night, we got to stop.

Speaker 8 (16:12):
Hi, this is enough?

Speaker 7 (16:13):
Is enough?

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Lane ruined it for all of us coaches? Yes, this
is enough? Yes, Jo and Lane's gonna have.

Speaker 8 (16:18):
Egg bowl on his face if he doesn't win this game.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
That's good, that's solid.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Take a break here, well, oh, shut me down. What
Pauline gave you? Your flowers?

Speaker 8 (16:28):
Just went Let's go to Frank in Arkansas.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
He did one of those times that was a really
great joke. He did so well there, man, well done,
but you's well done. All right.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
It's like a base hit, perfectly fine base hit.

Speaker 8 (16:38):
Let's say it was a home run, ready.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Todd, don't be humble. It was great, It was great.
It was so good what you did there.

Speaker 10 (16:44):
It was fantastic.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
And who wasn't very sensitive in Las Vegas? To me
with strip through.

Speaker 8 (16:48):
That would be me?

Speaker 13 (16:49):
Okay, yes, I was fighting my own stuff, so you
think I would be extra sensitive to what you were
going through.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'm like, well, I can't say what I said. So
the team was there and you were you were sweaty
and salty. Yeah, so I'm sweating through my T shirt
that I had. I'm I so thank you. Wait a minute,
let me say it again.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, I drop it down. I was sweating through my
T shirt. Arouchie host all, don't even try it.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah, Pauline, on Friday morning, you weren't feeling good and
you were sweating and hurting. Todd had made a big
recovery and he was kind of being Friday Fritzy while
you were hurting, and it was just tense.

Speaker 13 (17:27):
Yeah, I wasn't aware that you weren't free of it
because you had just gotten there and we didn't get
a chest to have a conversation. So I gave you
a piece of paper and as you were reaching for it,
I took it back and you weren't pleased by that. Yeah,
I'm having a playful moment with you, not knowing that
you were fighting stuff.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
You know what, when you're sick again, I'm going to
do those things too.

Speaker 8 (17:46):
One of those things. There was one little playful moment.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
A point when I was trying to interrupt you, and
you just you weren't going to let me talk.

Speaker 13 (17:55):
Welane, Evan's gonna have egg ball on his face. If
that is Ray, Let's give it a second shot.

Speaker 3 (18:01):

song yesterday, too soon. I saw my first house with

(19:11):
Christmas lights twoson. We keep inching, you know, further away
from the holidays, and that's when we start with Christmas.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
Yeah, seedn Mariah Carey just had an all time great
tweet response. I don't know if it was on Twitter
or somewhere on social media.

Speaker 10 (19:30):
It was great.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
But somebody, you know how.

Speaker 6 (19:33):
They do like those posts where it says like nobody
and then they say something and then like Mariah Carey
says this or whatever, and the picture was of a
number that was like one hundred six million, five hundred
forty seven thousand. But lah uh and the person said no,
one blah luah. And then it says Mariah Carey's bank
account every Christmas time and it was like one million.

(19:55):
And she responded to that by saying, change the one
to a five, and then you got it.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Damn my drop, damn. Yeah. But is she happy?

Speaker 6 (20:05):
If she's not, then it's her fault. Oh yeah, but
I'm just one hundred percent. Is she happy? I don't know?

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yes? Yes?

Speaker 4 (20:14):
Is she married Mariah Carey?

Speaker 10 (20:15):
No?

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yes?

Speaker 13 (20:17):
What is the acceptable start of taking in the festivities
and the music and putting on the lights?

Speaker 8 (20:22):
Like, does it have to be at least December first?

Speaker 3 (20:24):
How about after Thanksgiving?

Speaker 8 (20:26):
Immediately after Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's all I heard a Bruce Springsteen Santa is coming
to town, and I went, nope.

Speaker 8 (20:34):
I could the list? Is jo good or twice?

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Sounded a little better than that? Sounded a little better
than that?

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yes, Balie, it really is a slap in the face
to Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a one seed of holidays. You
all you do is eat and watch sports and try
to ignore family or enjoy family, but like there's not
all the build up. It's just one great day.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, not a lot of pressure. You know, maybe for
the person looking the turkey, but that's it. But yeah,
I drove by. I saw a house and had their
lights on.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
I went, can't do it Christmas music, can't do it?

Speaker 11 (21:10):
Yes, Marvin, Well, there is pressure on the people, like
you said, making the food, Like who's making the macaroni
and cheese, who's making the yams? That is a big deal.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, but that's that's not press. That's not turkey that much. No,
Turkey pressure is real pressure, is it. It's not important? Yes,
yes it is, because if it fails, Thanksgiving fails.

Speaker 11 (21:32):
I'm sorry what yes, I said it? Oh turkeys like
the four seed. No, no, Ham, No, it is more
important to Yes.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Ham's more important than turkey.

Speaker 11 (21:44):
Without question. Dpa, this is Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'm not coming over to your house. You sure, Yeah,
I'm sure our turkey's fried. You're sure?

Speaker 15 (22:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
But you said it doesn't matter.

Speaker 11 (22:02):
I mean, it's gonna be good regardless. But it's not
that important. It's not as important as the mac and
cheese or the yams or the stuffing.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Are you drinking Thursday night. What are you drinking?

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Shirley Temple? Yeah, three of them.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
This is a great group to take out to dinner
because Paulie and Seaton don't drink, Fritzy doesn't drink.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
And restaurants hate us.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Thuff. Yeah, a lot of work for no money.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Now, the back room guys, they all drink, so they're like,
you ordered wine and I go, uh, who wants it?

Speaker 3 (22:36):
And they're all raising their hands. I'm like, okay, we'll
get wine.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah, Pauli, this may bother you worse. I saw this article.
I think it was Wall Street Journal online. There are
now big companies, concierge companies that help you do your
Christmas lights at your house. So like if you live
in a well to do neighborhood, they have these high
end places that come in the day after Thanksgiving and
do the whole thing, and they charge thousands of dollars.
They also had a story these new houses being built

(23:02):
with built in lighting, like decorative lighting Christmas lighting where
it's like kind of by the gutter area. Yeah, lack
of a better word, and you could flip a switch
during the season and everything lights up. It's thousands upon thousands.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, but I'm okay if somebody comes out and hangs
all the lights and the garland and all that, because
you shouldn't get amateurs on a ladder, I'm fine with that.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Is that the fun thing seeing people?

Speaker 3 (23:26):
No?

Speaker 2 (23:26):
No, no, there is nothing fun with it. Because my
wife will be like, we're going to decorate. I'll go,
who's we You're like, oh, come out, keep me company.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yes, tod.

Speaker 13 (23:38):
There's always that house where they pretend they did it
when the neighbors are looking. It's like, I'm gonna like
touch this little bulb because I wanted to think that
I set this whole thing up.

Speaker 8 (23:44):
I didn't spend all kinds of money to have someone
do it for us.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
What do you do at your house?

Speaker 8 (23:49):
We have like little blue and silver Hanka tinsel.

Speaker 13 (23:52):
We used to put up a couple of snowflakes in
recent years of big dradl.

Speaker 8 (23:55):
Things like that, and listen to holiday music. Nothing crazy,
and we don't do it. We have someone coming. I
don't pretend that I hung up a big trader on
top of the room.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
I could imagine your wife would still be doing tho.

Speaker 8 (24:09):
She's very handy.

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Man.

Speaker 8 (24:10):
Let's have someone come.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
To Dylan in Orlando. Hi, Dylan, best and worst of
the weekend?

Speaker 12 (24:17):
Hey Dan the guy, thanks for making a call. Are
you all doing today?

Speaker 16 (24:20):
Good?

Speaker 12 (24:20):
My mother say good? As a Raiders sent I want
to say my best of the week at the Parsons
after the Raiders losing and getting a better draft capital.
My worst of the weekend would be the Titing Debt
and Giants also all losing.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Thank you Dylan. Yeah. Adam in La Hi, Adam, welcome back.

Speaker 15 (24:42):
Happy Monday, Dan, Dan that so, I hope your weekend
was great. I have to bests and a stat of
the day for you. First of all, though, how about
that sticker kicker Harrison MeVis he's not just plus sized
eye candy for the Rams, going two for two on
field goals and made all his extra point attempts and
and then of course primed for the MVP. Is Matthew Stafford? Guys,

(25:04):
just putting up flawless performance after flawless performance, leading the
Rams to another blowout win versus the Bucks. That leads
me to my stat of today. Matthew Stafford is now
thrown twenty seven second consecutive touchdown passes without an interception
that the new tying NFL record, have a great week,
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Thanks DP of the best, Thank you Adam.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I got a great stat for you here, Rams meet
the Buccaneers thirty four to seven. Rams have won six
consecutive games. They haven't trailed since the second quarter of
their Week six win over the Ravens.

Speaker 13 (25:39):
Statup Today, startup Today, stat of the Day, stat of
the Day, STATU Today, Statu today, startup to.

Speaker 7 (25:48):
Day start up.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
So far this season, there have been forty seven games
decided by a game winning score in the final two
minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime. That's the most
in NFL history through Week twelve. Tea Bucks from Texas, Hey,
Tea Bucks, what's on your mind?

Speaker 12 (26:09):
Pp?

Speaker 17 (26:09):
Hey, how are you good? I got the best, best
and best We've got. Bernie Cosar, longtime Cleveland brown quarterback,
getting a liver transpant from a kid named Bryce Dunlop
who happen to be a diared Browns fan as well.
It was just announced that he's being discouraged this afternoon,
so that's awesome to see. And another best the jamis

(26:32):
Winston teeny catch. I don't know why I thought of this,
but it's going to be watched and compared to similar
to bartol coloone in his home run that he is
in San Diego. I just think that it's going to
be every year. Hey, here's the anniversary for the home run.
I just can't stop laughing thinking about it.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
He's entertaining.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
I said that, you know, I look forward to watching
the games, and I think he's fun. He's energetic, spirited,
all of that. Baker and Bozeman, Hi Bake, what's on
your mind today?

Speaker 16 (27:09):
Happy Monday, Danny, and glad that you're feeling better. Happy
early Thanksgiving to all you gentlemen. So best in which
of the weekend?

Speaker 15 (27:16):
Best?

Speaker 16 (27:17):
It was great for my alma mater, Indiana Hoosiers to
get a second by week to gear up to dominate
Purdue on Friday night and then hopefully what's a long postseason.
But my worst of the weekend, Danny, is something that's
been bothering me literally for years, and I've just forgotten
to bring it up to you. But you're the one
person that can make this happen. So and we know
that Roger Goodell lacks the moxie of Adam Silver, so

(27:39):
you can't connect with him directly on this request. But
you know, I played high school football and if we
did not have our mouth guard in for a single play,
it was fifteen yard penalty and it was tagged to
the coach. In college, you have to wear your mouthguard.
In NFL, they have the mouth guard just dangling out everywhere.
And if the NFL is serious about reducing concussions with

(27:59):
which mouth guard to do? Make the guys where their
mouthguards instead of dangling around every Wh's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
All right, I'll see if I can get the commissioner on.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
I mean, there are a lot of weird things that
bother us too, but yeah, and mouthpieces do help, you know,
prevent concussions or reduce concussions.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
I understand that.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
I'm still back on Okay, we're so concerned about the
NFL players and their safety that we're going to change
the kickoff rules. Meanwhile, the college players, who you know,
ninety eight percent of them aren't going to play after
they play in college, we don't care about them. If
they're running down the field on a kickoff, eh, go
get them run into each other. Meanwhile, with the pros,

(28:43):
you guys got to stand stationary and then you wait
till you touch the ball and then you get to run.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
Yeah, I don't know if there is any real science
about mouthguards preventing concussions or helping with them.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
I thought there was.

Speaker 6 (28:57):
I don't, and I know that I've always been leave
to that that's why, Oh, this is why you're supposed
to do that. But I don't know if if there is,
I think it's something that we believe but isn't necessarily.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Yes, I found a couple of different studies and they're
inconclusive on mouthguards. They said they believe it helps the
overall preventing shocking things happening to the head during hits,
like your jaw in the mouthguard is soft, so it
absorbs some of the hit. But they said it's a
light percentage if it does.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Okay, back to you in the.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Studio, all right, nobody does homework like we do. A
lot of kids listening, you know.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, it's all about the kids.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Back in the day, used to remember the mouthguards. You'd
have to put them in hot water, yes, and then
the painful thirty seconds of putting it in your mouth yea,
and biting it and your teeth. It was a bad
forty five seconds brushing.

Speaker 10 (29:48):
Your teeth for the next week was terrible.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
And then you had the one that looks like a
passive fire that you see them now, Yeah, but back
then you were like, you didn't want to wear a
passive fire. But that's probably the best mouthpiece to have
because it hangs off your helmet and uh, you know,
protects upper and lower.

Speaker 11 (30:08):
Yes, Marvin, when I was playing Pop Warner football, we've
called that the Michael Irvin. Oh, like, hey, give me
one of those Irvings. My coach like, get an Irvin one. Look, Jeff,
looks like a passifire?

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Was that when you were dominating Pop Warner.

Speaker 11 (30:21):
There was a three year stretch where if I didn't play,
there was a good chance we weren't going to win.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Wow, Lamar Jackson effect.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Yeah, who plays football the way you did in Pop Warner?

Speaker 11 (30:34):
John Randall, Wow, you tackle. My mom took me off
the team because I was acting up in school and
my team lost.

Speaker 8 (30:44):
The coach.

Speaker 11 (30:46):
Hey Bridget and she goes, oh hi, Chris, she goes,
I heard you got you guys lost. You need my Marvin?

Speaker 2 (30:54):
You need my Marvin? Did you get nil money? In
Pop warn That have been like all if you need
some from discount Sports. Come see it, Josh and Iowa. Hi, Josh,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 18 (31:12):
Hey guys, thanks, This is a great opportunity for me.
My life's pretty much downhill after this first time long
time six six, eleven, a pudgy one five. Come on, Well,
I had seven nine lined up and I didn't say

(31:33):
that best of the weekend is the Cowboys and that
gritty comeback win. Worst of the weekend is now all
of us Cowboy fans. We're pretty much got this false
sense of we're going to win the next ten Super Bowls. Anyway,
that's all the time I have for today, Dan, until
next time.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Thank you, Josh, Thank you, Snucky, Snucky nice Hey, I
got a run. Yeah, but yeah, thanks for giving me
that amount of your time, Josh, I appreciate that. But
you know, we might look back on what Jerry Jones
did or didn't do, and maybe he'll get credit. Maybe
it would be a legitimate story that ESPN would cover

(32:10):
where they looked at this trade not signing Michael Parsons
what they get in return, and it would be a
legitimate reason to cover the Dallas Cowboys. And you can
make a case getting Quinn Williams and maybe not paying
Mike Parsons. I mean, Parsons has ten sacks and he's
going to continue to be a dominating player. That's the

(32:31):
one thing I felt that the Cowboys are still missing
is having that guy who can rush the passer. You
can stop the run, but you got to stop you
got to put some pressure on the quarterback as well.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
That would be my only knock with this The secondary
isn't very good.

Speaker 11 (32:45):
Yes, Marvin, I know Jerry Jones sposed to be relevant,
but does he also want credit?

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Oh yeah, my god.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yes, that's how he moved on from Jimmy Johnson thirty
some years ago because he wanted the credit. I think
that's what he loved about Barry Switzer coming in and
winning a Super Bowl. As if Jerry was saying, I'm
the one who's winning these Super Bowls, not my coach.
Anybody can be coaching my teams and win a Super Bowl.

(33:13):
All right, Well, take a break, last call for phone calls.
What we learn what's in store tomorrow right after this.
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live. Reggie Miller will join us on the program tomorrow.
I have this Day in Sports History. More phone calls

(33:37):
coming up. I just saw where the Saints are going
to try out Justin Tucker. His ten games suspension just ended,
and I believe the Saints are bringing him in to
try him out. The battled the former Ravens kicker. Is
he still a first ballot hall? Is he still a
Hall of Famer? You're not to factor in what happens

(34:01):
off the field. I believe in the voting process for
the NFL Hall of Fame, but Justin Tucker is probably
the greatest field goal kicker of all time, at least
percentage wise.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yes, Paul, Yeah, if.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
You take away off the field and just went on
the field, I have him as six time First Team
All Pro, nine time All Pro. If he's not going
in at the kicker position, who is?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, But it felt like the voters held Caroll Owens,
maybe off the field or as a teammate against him.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Michael Irvin.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
They didn't do that with Lawrence Taylor, he was that great,
But I don't know if they do that with Justin Tucker.
With what happened off the field, and have any of
those lawsuit, has anything been tried or a judge or.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
I don't see any use. I don't see any news
stories about it.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah, all right, Craig in Scottsdale, Hi, Craig, what's on
your mind today?

Speaker 17 (34:56):
Hey?

Speaker 13 (34:57):
Dan?

Speaker 17 (34:57):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 19 (34:58):
Appreciate the healthy debate that you guys are having with
regards to food at the Thanksgiving table. The one thing
I do have to say is that your judgment is
being clouded by your East Coast bias. So let's just
settle it that the meat is always the number one seed,
just dependent upon the region of the country that you're
in carbs, that the two seed, whatever the booze is,

(35:18):
is the three seed, and then a distant four seed
is whatever the green stuff is.

Speaker 17 (35:23):
But appreciate, appreciate you a lot.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, but Craig, Craig, I'm from Ohio, I'm from the
heartland of America. I'm from the Midwest. I like farmers,
you know, So it's on my East Coast bias. These
were my roots growing up.

Speaker 19 (35:40):
We could throw some Skyline chili in there, well.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
The weekend of Thanksgiving would always be a Skyline Chili
stop and white Castles because because my kids couldn't get
that anywhere, and they would say, can we get a
suitcase from white Castle? So you get a I mean
it's a makeshift suitcase full of white castles.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
It's like a large cardboard box. My kids were like, no,
this is awesome.

Speaker 10 (36:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Pulling White Castle as a kid was such a treat.
Like you said, the suitcase, my dad would get up
a bag that looked like a rectangle and he put
it right in the middle and you just dive.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
In Ethan in Illinois, Hi, Ethan, what's on your mind?

Speaker 13 (36:20):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (36:20):
How's it going?

Speaker 17 (36:21):
Guys?

Speaker 7 (36:22):
Hoping everybody has a good thanks Giving? It's going to
be snowing here in Illinois.

Speaker 20 (36:26):
And so I did the math on this and before
this week, the Bears have had a record of when
they've beaten teams of nineteen fifty seven, that's the team's
records they've played against.

Speaker 7 (36:39):
I was just wondering, if you're completely sold in on
the Bears.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Well you beat who you know? You got to win
these games. I mean, are they overachieving? Probably? But do
I think they're a playoff caliber team?

Speaker 3 (36:51):
I do?

Speaker 10 (36:52):
I do?

Speaker 2 (36:53):
How many teams week in and week out. Don't beat
the teams they're supposed to beat. Bears are at least
doing that. Do I think they're a great team, No,
very good?

Speaker 7 (37:02):
No.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Do I think they can be a good team? Yes?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Can they be a consistent team? That'll be the difference
if they make the playoffs? All right, Paul, This Dan
sports history? This Dane sports history.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Nineteen sixty. Nineteen sixty, Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Wars
sen an NBA record with blank rebounds in a game
against the Celtics.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Fifty five.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Fifty five is correct, Wilt Chamberlain fifty five? His stats? Yeah, yeah,
you have to take them off the board.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Well, but we don't do that with Babe Ruth, but
we do that. We want to do that with Wilt Chamberlain. Silly,
it's not fair.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
Nineteen ninety six, Barry Sanders of the Lions said an
NFL record when he recorded his eighth straight one thousand
plus yard season.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
First game. Opposing coaches were brothers. Twenty eleven. It's John
Harball Jim Harbaugh also nineteen twenty seven. Mississippi Beach, Mississippi
State at the time Mississippi A and M in the
the inaugural Golden Egg Bowl, the Golden Egg Trophy. I'm

(38:05):
not sure why they call it that. We could probably
spend an entire hour on the Golden Egg Bowl, the
Egg Trophy. See final results of the pole question Seaton. Yeah,
we got two of them up there. Right now, we
have up there.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
The five hundred team that you believe in the least
east or well just over five.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Hundred, okay, that you believe in the least.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
That would be the Bears, Jaguars, Panthers, and forty nine ers.
Right now, the Panthers are leading that one, followed by
the Jaguars. We also have the most surprising division leader Colts, Broncos, Bears, Patriots.
Bears running away with that one at sixty two percent,
followed by the Patriots at just nineteen.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
All right, oh, you have the history of the Egg
Bowl poll, of course, always have that ready.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Nineteen eleven through nineteen twenty five, Mississippi State was rolling
Old Miss, and then in nineteen twenty five Ole Miss won.
Their students ran on the field and tore down the goalpost.
They were worried that this would become a tradition, so
they created a Golden Egg large trophy that's awarded to
the winning team since nineteen twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
That was going to keep them from running on the
field and tearing down the goal post. I think it
worked my research, Yes done.

Speaker 8 (39:15):
They were scrambling.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Oh okay, all right, all right, I'm going to give
that to you. I'm going to give that one to you.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
I'll take it thinking of egg combinations.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Caesar or Caesar in Austin.

Speaker 7 (39:31):
Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call first time, long time,
five to eleven Husky, yet I carryed well, three bills
Husky and I got a Best of the weekend would
be long runs taking care of businesses Arkansas on Saturday,
setting up the showdown with an m or Friday. And
my Sat of the day has to do with arch Manning.

(39:54):
He became the first quarterback in ut history to record
a touchdown via pass, receiving and rushing.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Gonna say, yeah, he's done well.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
He's done well the last couple of weeks, and I'm glad.
You know, the expectation level was pretty high, and seems
like he's coming back around and kind of figuring out
what he does really well, or maybe Steve Sarkisian figuring
out what he does really well, and that's an impressive

(40:22):
performance against Arkansas.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
All right.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
By the way, make sure you take advantage. Go to
