Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Today is the final day of the Happy Gilmore two
movie shoot in New Jersey, and morale is high. I
got a chance to do my scene yesterday. My thanks
to Ryan Leef who sat in the chair yesterday. But
Sandman will probably join us. I know that they are
still wrapping things up, but had a lot of fun yesterday.
Long day on set, and we posted some pictures on
(00:27):
social media. Sandler gets a big kick out of me
wearing a mustache, and he said, Danny, you're not going
to play yourself. We'll put a mustache on you.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Nobody's going to be able to tell the difference there,
like if AD's an actor. I did, Oh, that's Dan Patrick.
Didn't even recognize him. Sandler said, you gotta have a mustache.
So I got a mustache and I play a sports anchor.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yes, Marvin, were you in character? Were you in character
the entire day?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Pretty much? I try to be Yeah, which wasn't difficult.
I just had to be me pretty much. It was
There's I get a lot of camera time right now.
I'm curious what happens once we get closer to them
putting the movie together, and I think now I don't
know this for sure, but there's already been some talk.
(01:15):
John Day mentioned that the movie might be out in
March or April. I thought it was going to be July,
so maybe I can pin Sandler down. But it might
come out in time for the Masters, is what I'm thinking,
because it obviously is a golf movie. There's a lot
of cameos there.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, Seeden, So it's one of those things where you
shot a lot of footage. Yes, not really sure what's
going to end up in there. What's your been what's
been your experience with that so far? Whilst in your.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Wedding career? Usually a lot of a kids cut, Yeah,
a lot of a gets cut because they probably are going, uh,
you know, maybe you could throw in another scene where
Sandler's on screen a little bit more, or Julie Bowen
from Modern Fam instead of me, which I get. I
understand that. You know, focus groups tell you those kind
(02:04):
of things. But Sandy gave me a lot of lines
to read. I know that.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
How'd you do?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I think I did pretty well? Yeah, yeah, I played
a sports anchor. I did it pretty well. I mean
it's a scratch, but I was able to do it.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
It feels like you should be able to just dive
right into that one.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I did.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I did make it your own.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I said, if you if you put a tie and
a suit on me, I'm in character, like I'm ready
to go. And so then they throw out these wild lines, Danny,
how about you say this? Danny, how about you say this?
And then you do all of those things. So it
was a seven am to seven pm day on set
in New Jersey. Is it munaki? Is that to yeah?
(02:48):
Munachi or Munaki Munaki? Yeah? And then I had a
scene out in Florham Park. Yeah, yeah, I had never
been there before. All right, let's go, don't need to
go back there again. But I got to do it.
So I two different, two different sets that I had
to be on with my character there. All right.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, see one more question. Were you acting like yourself
as a sports anchor?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Or?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Were you doing an impression of someone else?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I was trying to I was trying to mock the
sports center anchor. Yes, so I was going a little
bit over the top and a little more serious and
maybe not my snarky self there. But it's okay. They
didn't even give me the script for a happy Gilmore too.
I still haven't seen the script. I get there, Sandler's
(03:37):
explaining to me what my role is or how my
role fits in. I go, Samman, why didn't you send
me the script? He goes, Danny can't trust anybody. I go,
I'm in the movie. And then he goes, I know,
Danny can't even trust you, and I go, okay. So
all of a sudden, you know, he told me, Danny,
there's a plot twist, and I'm going, come on, sand Man,
(03:58):
it's a Sandler movie. And then all of a sudden, oh,
I was like, oh damn, there's a plot twist here.
There is a true plot twist that I was shocked at.
But there are a lot of cameos. We'll see if
Sandler will spill some tea when he joins us a
little bit later on. All right, whole question today seating
for the first hour.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Well, this has been the probably the hottest topic this morning.
Uh in studio even in the back room. Is a
Spentura a sports movie?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yes or no?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Okay? Yesterday, in between scenes, I'm in my double banger
they call it. I was in my my whatever, my
mobile home or something, and I flipped on TV. There
wasn't much to watch, and I see a Ventura Pet
Detective and I go, okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna watch
a little bit. Then I ended up watching the whole
(04:49):
movie because there's a lot of time in between scenes.
And I thought, is this is sports movie? Because there's
a a kicker, there's Dan Marino. They're like, it's sports
themed around the dolphins. And I said, if Diehard is
a Christmas movie, Ace Venture, A Pet Detective is a
sports movie? Yes, yes, Marvin, if you say so, oh
(05:14):
you disagree.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
No, it's just a backdrop. Uh, it's not like the
dolphins are in the backdrop. It's not about a quarter
I mean it is about a quarterback, you know, but
it's not No.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
No, okay, it's okay, it's okay you can say that.
But yeah, when I watched it and Courtney Cox looks gorgeous,
so and Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey, you know, it's it's
a lot of fun, Like you forget. Sometimes I watch
Dumb and Dumber and you realize how funny he used
to be in Living Color. He was being really a
(05:51):
brilliant comedian. You don't see him in those roles anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yes, yes, sorry to go on a little riff, but
to go on a little riff right nineteen ninety four,
Jim Carrey nineteen ninety six, Michael Jordan twenty thirteen, Lebron
ninety four, Kim Eli Juan, He's had one of those
types of years where he had Dumb and Dumber, the
Mask and astern Scher all in the same year. Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Can anybody rival that in recent history? Are you talking
about one year or are we talking about three years?
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I feel like Tim Linsecom from twenty ten to twenty
fourteen or so had one of the most dominant stretches
a player could possibly have and then completely disappeared.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Okay, is there anybody else who had that window?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yes, Martin, Joe Pesci from maybe ninety to ninety five,
good Fellas and Home Alone came out in the same year.
My cousin Vinny ooh leave the Weapon, Dang Casino, all
in that five year window.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
All in, that's that's Terrell Davis, that's Sandy Kofax.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Like you know, and especially too, because Joe Peshi really
showed his range throughout that time in all of those roles.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
He really, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
He is one of those actors when you see him
so many diverse performances right there that Hey, look at
Joe Pesci, played Joe Pesci in another movie there.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Just give him a suit, a couple of you know,
witty lines.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yes, Okay, when was Truman with Jim Carrey? Was that
in a like a five year window here? Is that
what we're allocating a five year window of unbelievable hits
acting performances?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I feel like his window is actually long, like wider
than that or longer than that, because he he had
like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, which was also
he went into like being an actor. Yeah, hmm a
little more.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yes, Marv Truma Show is nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Okay, so is that in the wind? Are we looking
at five year windows here with great actors?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
And what about Eddie Murphy? Okay, Running Trading Places forty
eight hours coming to America, Beverly Hills, Cop one and
two underrated sequel, pretty good, fairly decent stretch.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, pretty good window there.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
The Golden Child, I like the Golden Shops. I like them.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Not good.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
By the way, we support small businesses and a lot
of our products are made by small business owners. We
have our Pennies Bang Biscuits made by Sunbeam General in
New Jersey, Gilgamesh Brewing and Oregon for the new audible
Ale beer. Were's my shirt. Also an Oregon White Dog
Distilling in Rhode Island. They make the Tailgate moonshine. When
you shop at Danpatrick dot com, you're also helping support
(08:55):
these small businesses all over the country Danpatrick dot com.
All right, what other poll questions do we have aside
from the hard hitting one that you let off.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
With the Lions going for it on fourth down? Is
a good idea or bad idea?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I'm looking at the numbers here and a lot of
times will say we've said this before down through the years,
the decades I've covered sports. That team has to learn
how to get over the hump. The Pistons they couldn't
get by the bulls, and then they got by the
bulls and never looked back, get by the Celtics. Then
you get by the Celtics you never looked back, or
the bulls couldn't get by the Celton. I mean, we've
(09:31):
seen this with a variety of teams. Normally it's basketball.
Sometimes it's football. But here are the Lions again going
forward on fourth down, and you go back to last
year's NFC title game. You're up twenty four to seven.
But this is the philosophy of this coach. I don't
know if I can say, don't have that philosophy. Once
you get to a certain situation, If this is who
(09:52):
you are, this is who your team is, this is
what your team is geared for, then do it. Buy it,
you die by it. And there's a feeling almost as
you're a high stakes gambler. Dan Campbell is sitting there
at the craps table or blackjack, and he's probably doubling
(10:13):
down when you go, what are you doing? Or he's
taken a hit on sixteen. Like there's just moments and
the high can be the highest of highs and the
low can be obviously a loss. But you look at
the fourth down situations. In two games against Green Bay
this season, the Lions are six for seven on fourth
down with four touchdowns. The four fourth down touchdowns most
(10:36):
buy any team against an opponent in a single season
in twenty four years. Wow.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Stell of a day stand a day stand outa day
stant outa day this is the Stele of the Day.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And since Dan Campbell took over as the coach. That's
twenty twenty one. The Lions lead the NFL and fourth
down attempts one forty fourth down conversions seventy seven, so
that's a fifty five percent success rate, but that is
thirteenth in the league over that span. Here is Dan Campbell,
the Lions head coach, on his brand of football. Look.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
I told the guys knew, players knew, coaches knew. Listen,
this is don't ride the wave.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
You know, we could be up two.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
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.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
We needed to do.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
And so that meant the risk was there, and you know,
and you fell in negative territory, you got you know,
you're trying to hold him to a field goal. But
I knew that was that was how I wanted to
play that team with where we were at.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Here's the Packers head coach Matt Lafleura on why his
team lost.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
He got to play better.
Speaker 10 (11:55):
So I think there are some areas that we can
really look at this where we have to improve upon,
you know, situationally, like third down that was critical and
then not coming away with a touchdown there at the
end in the red area that was tough as well.
But I think really offensively and defensively, the third and
(12:16):
fourth down was probably the difference in the game.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Packers are now nine and four, the Lions are twelve
and one. They still have a pretty tough schedule the
rest of the year. They have a game with Buffalo
coming up really soon. But the Lions, are they the
best team in the NFC? Are they the best team
in the NFL? I think if you're the best team
in the NFC, you're the best team in the NFL.
It's just a weird feeling I have. And I know
(12:41):
that we talk about this. Players talk about it, Coaches
talk about it. Can you peak too soon? Can you
peak too soon? And I want to talk to Ross
Tucker and Booger McFarlane about that, because it sometimes is
two schools of thought that you see these teams who
all of a sudden pick up more momentum. May not
win their division, but they're going to go on a
(13:03):
run and they're going to win five in a row
going into the playoffs, they've been fighting for playoffs survival.
Those are the teams who go far. They do damage.
Sometimes you build up that lead and then you have
some meaningless games at the end of the season, which
may happen for the Lions, and then we see those
teams have a hard time getting it started, turning on
the flipping the switch, and that might happen to the
(13:25):
Lions again. I think the Eagles right now are better
than the Lions, but it's only because I look at
the Eagles as not as banged up as the Lions.
The Lions are bringing in defensive players like they're trying
to piece this together. Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator, has
done a wonderful job there, but it still feels like
that team has got to outscore you. It's about their
(13:45):
offense because I don't think they can rely on their
defense being stout weak in and week out when we
get to the playoffs. But the Eagles feel like the
most balanced team in football at least right now.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Yeah, Eden, where do you put the Chiefs in your
sort of power rankings of teams? If Lines are one, right,
Eagles are two. How far back do you get before
you hit the Chiefs out of respect, out of respect
for Andy and Patrick Mahomes. They're in the top five.
(14:21):
Do you still have the Bills?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Bills?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
The Bills have been a better team. I mean, whether
you say, well, what are they going to be in
the playoffs? You know they can't get over the hump
in the playoffs. I understand all of that. This is
regular season right now, the eye test, and you can
make a case and make a case the Steelers might
be better than the Chiefs playing better than the Chiefs.
I know that there's always that asterisk, and that asterisk
(14:46):
is Patrick Mahomes everything, and then there's the butt if
they get in. When they get in, who do they play?
And are they hosting playoff games? But just the eye
test doesn't mean how this plays out at the end
of the year. The lines to win the Super Bowl.
But if you said that Philly one can't City one
now Buffalo, I would be a little surprised if they
(15:08):
were able to piece those games together. But you know,
here's the team that's already clinched their division. You're going
to have home field advantage, but are you going to
be able to turn it back on once the playoffs
start because you'll have that opportunity to have a first
round boy. So those are the things that would concern me.
Now as we head into you know, the final five
(15:30):
weeks of the regular season, what is going to happen,
Who's healthy, who's getting healthy? You know, any chance Aiden
Hutchinson is able to come back for the playoffs, maybe
the Super Bowl. But I still look at the Eagles
as maybe the most balanced team in football. Doesn't mean
they're the best, but they're the most balanced and with
what I see eye test wise, they're probably best in
(15:53):
the NFC.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yes, Yeah, it's interesting when you start looking at those
teams too. Like we were just talking about, you have
some combination of Lions, Bills, Chiefs, Eagles, right then you
have say another combination of Steelers Vikings Packers. At some
point now you're looking, you still haven't mentioned the Ravens.
(16:16):
Ravens are probably some They're still a top ten team
for sure, but they don't scare you as much as
as maybe they did at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, the Chargers might know who they are better than
the Ravens do for some reason. Yes, but it's because
the Ravens don't play defense, like you have to have
one of those great games, like you go out there
and you got to score. You can't kick field goals,
so you got a field goal kicker who can't kick
right now. So that's the fun part of this. You're
trying to piece together a Rubik's cube. How much time
(16:46):
do you have before we get to the postseason.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Matt Lafleur said, well, when we're down there in the
red area, we need to be I feel like I've
heard that a little bit more lately, the red area.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I think that's something you find on your body, like
down in the red area. Oh yes, I went to.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
The dermatologs for that a couple of times. You give
me a little cream, You're.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Fine, thank you.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Is that a red area? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, I haven't heard the red area be.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I feel like if I sat here on the show
and I was just like, well, you know, they're down
in the red area, social media would be like you
don't know anything.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You're stupid, You're so stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
How did you get this job?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
As we make the smooth segue to Adam Sandler, happy,
gilmour Io set to call in, I believe. Oh, Todd's
on the phone with Salmon. Now this is where Todd
does his impersonation. I he'll do it.

and you can't take anything. But it was the next
to last day, and I loved it so much that
I decided I was just going to take it with me.
I also, I told these guys. You were on the phone.
I don't know if you're talking to your wife. I'm
done with my scene. I'm leaving last night, and I
grab a chair, and you're going, Danny, what are you doing?
And I go, I'm taking a happy Gilmore two souvenir chair.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Yes, yes, no, no, no, there was no doubt you
deserved the chair. You did good work last night. I
just think I was a little shocked at the amount
of Eminem's justo.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Are we allowed to talk about some of the people
in the movie, Like, what can we talk about here
since the movie raps today?
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Yeah? Are we on the air right now?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (19:23):
We are, okay, Yeah, we can't talk about anything. No, no, no, no. Yeah,
you can say who was there? Shooter was there? He
was hanging out right.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yes, Shooter McGavin. Okay, But can I talk about some
of the cameos?
Speaker 8 (19:37):
I don't know if they they're gonna yell at me
no matter what, because they asked me not to do
any press. But but yeah, what do you want to say?
What do you say it? And I'll tell you if
it's good or bad to talk about?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Like, can I talk about Eminem having a cameo?
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Okay, yes, yes, you can't. You know, Eminem was cool.
He came by and he was he was great.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Okay, how do you reach out to Eminem? And and
what role does he play in Happy Gilmore too?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
I can't tell you what. Okay, Okay, Eminem pro time
and he's he's a great guy and he came in,
was funny as hell and was just it was just
I think we just hung out a day with Eminem
and he just shot and shot and was insane, said
said a million things we can use in a million
things that we just We're glad we have him on tape.
(20:28):
Jack Nicholas, Yes, Jack Nicholas, Yes, we we. He came
by for a couple of days, all all the all
these great shoppers came by and and we we yes,
they did a great scene and we all we all
hung out and he was amazing and he hung out
with us and his wife was was awesome and we
(20:51):
we in the scene. I sit next to Jack, so
I got I got to talk to him and he
was he was so nice to me, man, he was
he was. He did literally to me. I talked to
him on the phone and I was right before like
a couple of weeks before we shot, and I was
it reminded me of growing up so much and what
(21:12):
he meant to my dad and what he meant to
the whole world.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Pretty cool.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
I was like, I think the only other voyeaid on
the phone that would make me feel what I'm feeling
was Johnny Carson.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
This.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
I just kind of felt like you calmed you down.
Everything he had to say was so sweet and calm,
and you felt like, just just I better listen to
this man because he just knows everything.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay, here's another thing, and I'm not sure if this
is true. I think John Day brought this up that
the movie was coming out in March or April. I
thought it might have been a blockbuster fourth or July weekend.
But I'm wondering if you're trying to have it align
with Masters week where you have Happy Gilmour Too come out.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
It's not coming up then it's I don't know one
hundred percent, but I think around July. Okayji fourth, but uh,
but they were trying to get it done in time
for July. Yeah, I just you never know what's gonna happen.
We're just just finishing today at the last day. You
will phenomenally yesterday, Danny, seriously, we all talked about.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
You, just you.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
You were just so smooth and and everything you said
was funny as funny as hell. We're going to use
it all over the place, and uh and thank you.
And you look Hanta Mattel and the must desk, you
look like the trong. You look like you hitting the
way hard, buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
But you know what, sam Man, I just had somebody
say I look like maybe a younger thinner Andy Reid.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I wouldn't, I wouldn't say thinner, but yet wo wow,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Know if you should be calling me out chunky Cole Medina, Yeah, no.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Andy Reid. By the way, he's a handsome bash, nothing
wrong with that. And he says star and he's funny
on those commercials. He does the twinklers and feels some
nugget or something easy. I think he eats my home's
last nugget or something.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
How much pressure do you feel? But the build up
and trying to deliver on something like this, well, you.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Know, a lot, a lot, a lot. I want I
want it to be great. Me and hurl that he's
next to me right now. We're in the trailer going
over the movie, just talking about the thing and what what,
how we're gonna put it together, and yeah, yeah, it's
on your mind. You just you just we got a
lot of good stuff and we just want to make
sure that it all comes together and and and and
(23:44):
keep keeps it going from start to finish. And that's
that's the goal. We'll see, we'll see. We're definitely nervous,
but we feel some sort of confidence.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
We're talking Adam Sandler the movie Happy Go More Too,
probably in July. They wrap it up today. I did
get yelled at by one of your producers, Eli, I
found out that you can't use the F word in
the movie.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Well this this you never know, you never know. Maybe
maybe if it makes total sense that wort is gonna
be so Eli, I'm gonna Eli just got fired.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
The movie ends today, so you can't Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Yeah, yeah, I just told this is the last God damn.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
You don't like that.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
Oh, by the way, Eli got fired. In cases parents
are listening, I love you.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
No, no, great Once again, it was fun. Great to
see you. A lot of the familiar faces there and
and uh, I know, I know you've been told not
to talk about the movie, so thank you for at
least volunteering if you wanted. Uh, if I wanted you
on the show today, So thanks for joining us.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
I wanted to be with you, Dave, just to celebrate
how great you were last night. And and and uh
all the boys say hi to them, and uh, I
have a holiday.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Well wait, wait a minute, hold on, Samon, there is
a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
What.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I'm sure you had a lot of golf galleries. You
got a lot of people extras there, and you have
been nice to get the dan Nets into movies, and
I waited for the invitation to hand it to them
so they can.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
The d Nets are in The water Boy. If we
do The Water Boy again, they're in that. I didn't
want that. I know none of them like golf, so.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Is there going to be a sequel to The Water Boy?
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Okay, I don't know in what order, but I think
next sequel. I know no matter what I say, people
are gonna think I'm serious. So but I'm gonna start off.
I'm gonna start off with we're doing a sequel to
Bedtime Stories next, then it's sequel.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
No, I'm not I don't know what I'm doing Okay, okay,
So there's no sequel to water Boy. You're just joking.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
I mean no, Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
You never know.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
I probably not. But uh bouche tackling anybody at age
fifty eight, it's a little weirder than him hitting a
golf ball, you know what I mean, would be dead,
would be dead right now if you hit anybody in
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yes, Sam Yes, Seon.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Sounds like Adam is writing the Sun of the water Boy.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Oh that could be good. That could be good. And
who's playing the Sun?
Speaker 11 (26:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Timothy challowy ry Kehoe.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Oh yeah, all right, Well we'll figure out.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I can't, I can't imagine. Okay. So Sandman played pick
up with Timothy shallow May on a New York City playground.
How what kind of game does Timothy shallow May have?
Speaker 8 (26:48):
Oh that's a very smooth operator on the on the court.
And I played ball with them. I played ball with
them a few times out in La too. He's cool.
I think I remember Timmy came over with it out.
He had some good three on three to get eat
it up man. A kid likes to win. He's good.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
How were your daughters when Timothy Chalomay came to your house.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
They held it together. He was so cool to him,
so that they held it together. But it was a night.
It was a good Three days after it's still smiling,
you know what I mean. It felt good.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Thanks again, Thanks again for the opportunity and talk to
you soon. Save travels.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Way to go, Danny. Thanks for your time, Love you boys,
See you soon.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That's Adam Sandler. I did get close to texting Sam
Man a while ago to say, hey, if you need extras,
but I thought, no, he has invited you guys in
a couple of movies, and I was waiting for the
invitation for you guys, so I didn't want to. I
didn't want to push my friendship boundaries there with Sam Man.
(27:52):
Just so you guys know, Marvin could have been in
a movie.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Oh's sor right, Josh tu Mell looked out.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
He did.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
We were in the beginning of our buddy games. Oh
it's not happy Gilmore too or anything.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
No, it's not, No, it's not so Yeah, Eminem's got
a cameo there. I was shocked at. You know, Rory
McElroy's in it. Bryce and to Shambo, it's weird. They
brought together the PGA tour and the live tour for
a movie. So you had to Shambo and Koepka, Rory
(28:30):
and they were all together and there's no media around,
so they actually probably got a chance to, you know,
have a hard to hard talk about the live tour
and the PGA tour. So I guess July will be happy.
Gilmore too. John Daly said he thought of his March
or April, and I'm thinking that as a John knows
nothing about movies. John is in the movie. But I
(28:51):
thought that is a unbelievable turnaround. I thought I'd ask
the Sandman.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show week days at nine am Eastern six am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Speaking of good friends, probably not as good a friend
of Fritzie as he is to me. After Fritzi said,
Ross Tucker, why don't you wait twenty minutes we got
to bring in Adam Sandler And I said, no, make
Sandler wait, and you said, Nope, can't do that. Ross Tucker,
CBS Sports, Westwood One, and the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
(29:26):
Ross was on the call for Westwood One last night
packers and lines, so you can tell your kids you
got bumped for Adam Sandler.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
There, Ross, Yeah, you know what's so funny about that, Dan,
They're twelve and eleven. I'm wondering what they know about
Adam Sandler. I think it might be way cooler to
tell my wife and friends that I got pumped now.
I actually replied to you guys on x at Ross
Tucker NFL, and I got a new poll question.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Of the day for Seaton.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
Should I be honored or offended that I got bump
umped for Adam Sandler. There's already one hundred and thirty votes.
Seventy four percent say honored, twenty six percent say offended.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So far.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I would say you should be honored. You should be honored.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
To me, I don't care.
Speaker 11 (30:18):
I'm just in a hotel room in Detroit, and it's
a way cooler story now, Like I'm gonna tell everybody
you know, it's a way cooler story that I got
bumped for Sander. Then if I just came on at
ten twenty, the only issue, Dan is I scheduled. I
was on the radio in Chicago before I came on.
Fritzy texted me no less.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Than ten times while I'm on the radio on my
phone in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Can you go later?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Ten forty eleven oh five Sandler, Oh, he's gonna break
in his thing like like Fritzy.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
How about just one text with all of the information
as opposed to the ding coming in every three seconds
as you say three more words and hit send.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
I would say to that that I didn't mean to
ding up your phone, and I wasn't certainly wasn't aware
that you were on in the middle of an interview
on some on a radio step even if an interview.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But things were also changing.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I was getting different notes from the Sandman about when
he was available, so that caused me to change the
update and what I had to share with Ross while
we were moving things around.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Actually, I wasn't meant I mean to be a.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Past then, thank you, Todd Ross. Can a team peak
too soon?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yes, no question.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Can the Lions be peaking too soon?
Speaker 11 (31:35):
I don't think so because of how injured they are
on the defensive side of the ball. I mean, they
have thirteen guys on IR on defense. Nobody else has
more than seven.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
After a Lee.
Speaker 11 (31:46):
McNeil, who's a stud by the way, after he went
out Dan. They didn't have a single guy playing last
night that was in the too deep on the defensive
line fur their opener.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Think about that. That is nuts.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
They're playing with all guys off the street or practice
squad guys and still beating the Green Bay Packers in
a game like that. It's incredibly impressive. I mean, I'm
watching Kwan Alexander and Jamal Adams.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Makes some plays.
Speaker 11 (32:18):
They just signed both those guys this week and it's
a Thursday game. It's incredible what they've done. And I
would say, in particular, the offense is awesome, but for
them to be good enough on defense to win these
games with some of the guys they're playing with is
super impressive.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, I just wonder about that the attrition. When does
that catch up to them? So far, they've managed it.
But this is where I go back, and I said
at the start of the show, I like the I
think the Eagles are the most balanced team in football
right now, and maybe the best team in football right now.
Buffalo is in there as well, certainly the Lions are.
I can't diminish what they've done. I just have to
(32:58):
look at the bigger picture here, and that is at
some point in the postseason, you're gonna have to stop
somebody that You're not gonna win all these shootouts, at
least I don't think you will. But what would be
your biggest concern with the Lions?
Speaker 11 (33:13):
Well, so two things. One is reader's gonna come back.
Ali McNeil's coming back. I had Angeloney on the Ros
Tucker Football podcast Wednesday. He's coming back from that broken forum.
So they're actually gonna get a bunch of these guys
back before they get into the postseason.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
That will help.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
And the number one seed is just huge.
Speaker 11 (33:36):
I mean being able to not have to play that
first week so you get more people healing. And then
I can tell you last night, and I know some
people said on the television broadcast that maybe they couldn't
hear the crowd.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
It was loud, really loud.
Speaker 11 (33:51):
I thought it affected the Packers a little bit. My
biggest concern Dan about the Lions is fourth down variants.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Right.
Speaker 11 (34:00):
You know, they're very aggressive and they were three out
of four last night and it's a big reason why
they won the game. And on a lot of those instances,
they are going with the numbers and what the percentages say,
but the percentages and the numbers don't know it's the
NFC Championship game, and.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
They don't care, you know what I mean, Like they
don't care.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
So you know, let's say it's fifty percent on a
lot of fourth down conversions, right, Well, they were seventy
five percent last night. They were three out of four
in three playoff games, or maybe four. I wonder which
one of those it comes back.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
To bite them. They threw the ball Dan on two
fourth and goals. They threw it. You know, a lot
of bad things can happen there.
Speaker 11 (34:43):
A d Linan can back the pass down golf, can
have a bad throw, good defense by the Packers. The
guy could drop it when you're in a situation. This
is not the Eagles with the tush push on their
fourth downs. They're throwing the ball on some of these
fourth and goals. They were both touched down in one
of the playoff games. It's not gonna happen for him.
(35:03):
They're gonna go one for three on fourth downs and
it might be what costs them.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And I wondered about that. If Dan Campbell is saying,
let's give somebody something to think about in the postseason
by what we're doing in the regular season on some
of these fourth down calls that we're not going to
be predictable. The predictability is we're going for it, but
there is no predictability in what play we call there.
That's the only thing I thought of there. But if
(35:30):
you played on the Lions and you're on the offensive
side of the ball being alignment and you know Dan
Campbell's going for it on fourth down, what does that
do for a team when they get in a huddle
and you basically know when we get to third we're
getting to fourth down as well?
Speaker 11 (35:48):
Well, there's two awesome aspects of that. Number One, we
saw this a bunch last night. It enables them to
be willing to run the ball on third and medium,
which really helps the play action pass game, really helps
out the offensive line. They're not afraid to run third, four,
five and six. They'll run the ball. They ran for
a first down a couple of times they didn't, but
(36:09):
they got closer than they went forth on fourth down,
So that's a cool.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Aspect of it. And then the other thing is just
the belief and faith that that team has.
Speaker 11 (36:20):
I thought a couple times started the second half, then
after the they soot them on fourth down and pat
The Packers went up twice in the second half, and
I thought, Okay, what a valiant effort by the Lions,
but they're out manned and it's just not gonna happen
for them. I think because of how much Dan Campbell
believes in them. I think it reinforces the self belief,
(36:43):
the confidence. We talked to David Montgomery, I ain't eagle
on myself after the game, and he said, Dan Campbell
told them all week, almost every fourth down, if it's close,
we are going.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
So those guys they just know that.
Speaker 11 (36:59):
Campbell believes in them, and even if they don't get one,
they know they're going for it, and they know their
coach believes in them that they're gonna get it. I
think that's a big reason why they're so resilient and
they keep coming back even when the Packers take the
lead like they did.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Curious your opinion on A Z's al shire, the three
game suspension on Trevor Lawrence and will we see a
modification of the rule or a possible rule change with
this play.
Speaker 11 (37:28):
I think they need to strongly consider what they're gonna
do with the quarterback slide. I never thought of this
until I heard Rex Ryan talking about it earlier in
the week. And I'll give them a lot of credit
for that. It's not a smart decision by a quarterback
unless you Tom Brady it and do it super early.
But that kind of goes against human instinct, right, Like
(37:51):
human instinct is to get as many yards.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
As you can and then get down.
Speaker 11 (37:57):
But when you slide feet first, the thing highest off
the ground, the last thing to get down and protected
is your head. You're making yourself very, very vulnerable. Now,
I thought al Shier could have done a better job.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Of avoiding that collision.
Speaker 11 (38:16):
And I will say this, though anybody's ever played, We'll
tell you everything out there happened so much faster than
it does when you're watching on TV. I mean, it
happens in an instant. I thought he got one game
for basically the hit and his track record. You know,
he's had some other questionable hits. I thought he got
(38:36):
another game because of how bad it looked for Trevor
Lawrence and cart it Off and all that. I thought
the third game honestly was because of his reaction afterwards,
and like the riot that it started. I actually really
thought they would reduce it to two. I'm surprised that
they didn't always.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Great to talk to you, and thanks for joining.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Us and my pleasure. I don't I don't know when
Happy to Go Go Moore two will be released.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
It's probably no long it'll be enjoy I know that.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
I feel like John Daly doesn't know what he's talking about.
I know at least that.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
And you're probably gonna get bumped from the guest list
of being able to see the movie. So just letting
you know you might get you might get bumped again.
Speaker 8 (39:17):
Ross.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
I love that movie. We watched that fifty times in college.
Speaker 9 (39:20):
Love it.

He's Booker 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
(39:55):
fourth downs again. We saw it last year in the
NFC title game. Your thoughts on this is the m
of him or his team, and this is the way
they're going to play, no matter what the situation is.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
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
(40:30):
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 7 (40:38):
So I'm okay with it. His team loves it.
Speaker 6 (40:41):
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 (40:54):
I thought the Packers were going to win last night
going into this game, and for no other reason than
I didn't have reason. I just thought, maybe it's the
Packers like they 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 6 (41:15):
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.
You know.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
The Detroit Lions are a veteran group.
Speaker 6 (41:30):
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 Tempa, everybody kept saying, well,
what are the Bucks missing.
Speaker 7 (41:45):
What are we missing?
Speaker 6 (41:46):
And we were just missing our time man, just a
little bit of experience and just the right mix. And
so 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
(42:07):
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.
The Packers window is just starting to open, and I
believe it'll be open for the next four or five years.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
If you're the Niners, what do you do with brock
Perty's contract.
Speaker 6 (42:24):
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.
Speaker 7 (42:31):
And she still brings it up.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
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, but you gotta at
least try, because the moment they give him fifty five
million a year, I think their window is absolutely closed
because he's not the type of quarterback, as we're seeing
(42:55):
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 is a tremendous game manager. And when all those
pieces have been there, he has been outstanding. But you know, IYU,
no McCaffrey, no Trent Williams. They get their brains beat
(43:15):
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.
Speaker 7 (43:28):
And so I think that's what brock Purty is.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I don't know if Stockton would be just another guy,
but I understand what you're saying. I mean, Stockton, he
wouldn't be he wouldn't be who he is Carl Malone,
he wouldn't have fifteen thousand assists, but not all fifteen
thousand were to Carl.
Speaker 7 (43:44):
I got you.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
You can't put John Stockton in with Rock Purty. But
I know what's your I know the analogy you're making.
But you do need other players. Brock needs more players.
You know. 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.
That's what I think it comes down to.
Speaker 7 (44:07):
Well, essentially, that's what the quarterback position is.
Speaker 6 (44:09):
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 be
kind of lower to middle end. 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
(44:31):
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 going
to 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 to pay him
the going rate.
Speaker 7 (44:48):
Dan Oh, I mean the going rate is fifty five
million a year.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
I can't do that.
Speaker 7 (44:52):
Okay, Well, then who's going to be your quarterback? There?
Speaker 2 (44:55):
I have to say to him, just what you said.
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 Berry, 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 can't.
(45:19):
I can't keep everybody. Not like, does McCaffrey even play anymore? Booger?
I don't know, Demo has 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 6 (45:38):
Well, Well, here's the thing is that 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 ever been. After the season, I think if you're
his agent, I think you're gonna you gotta go in
asking for fifty five million a year, five years, two
hundred the seventy five million, one hundred and twenty guaranteed.
(46:00):
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 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
(46:22):
pay him now or do you start over realizing that
you're gonna lose your nucleus. That's why John Lynch is
making a big buck of San Francisco. He's got to
make that decision.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Booker McFarlane 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 all in on the Vikings.
Speaker 6 (46:48):
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 Mit to run the defense. They
got the number one scoring defense in football, all right,
So that allows 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
(47:10):
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,
rasident fifty plays. I trust that method more than I
trust Kevin O'Connell and Sam Donald. Because there's a thing
(47:33):
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.
And so I trust Justin Herbert and Jim Harball more
than I trust Kevin O'Connell and Sam Donald.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
Give me the scenario that's gonna totally throw the twelve
team playoff into chaos by Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 6 (48:05):
Okay, well, if we want to do really chaos, let's
go un L V Beach Boise. UNLV gonna is gonna
get in but probably won't get a bye.
Speaker 7 (48:13):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (48:16):
Let's go Clemson beating SMU. All right, Clemson beat 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.
(48:36):
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
(48:57):
of set right there. The real chaos come with UNLV
winning because if Boysy wins, I think boys it gets
a buy dan though, and everybody's gonna say, how can
a group of five team get a buy that's one?
And then if we have to compare a two loss
SMU to a three loss blue Blood in Alabama, all
(49:18):
hell will break loose and my head will probably explode
because I think the committee just might put Alabama in.
Speaker 7 (49:23):
Oh yes, me, yes, that was the that was in
the wrong message.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
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 gonna get a
(49:49):
first round BOT. I think there's tweaks to this. 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 6 (50:00):
Well, it's the same thing that Rheze Davis has said,
I'm okay with the conference champions getting in, but once
everybody's in, let's seed it one to twelve, top four
get a bye and then and then we see them
from there.
Speaker 7 (50:10):
I think that's what you should do. Yes, that's number one.
But let me ask you this.
Speaker 6 (50:14):
If it comes down to eleven and two SMU or
nine and three Alabama, who is Dan Patrick putting in?
Speaker 2 (50:24):
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
(50:44):
that in that people are gonna want to watch Alabama.
Speaker 6 (50:49):
Yeah, but why are you factor neddie and when committe
will Yeah, but the Committy's not supposed to do that
is oh, you know the booger.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
It's a TV show. All of this is a TV show.
Speaker 7 (51:00):
Well, if it's a TV show, then why are we
putting UNLV or boys in there?
Speaker 2 (51:04):
They don't want to they have to this. 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, it's
a TV show, it is. They want matchups, they want
sold out crowds, they want you know, when you go
(51:25):
to a bowl game, the fans are gonna go.
Speaker 7 (51:26):
I mean, come on, I get it.
Speaker 6 (51:29):
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
(51:49):
together and to your point, they're gonna have to make
some tweets. Just like anything, you know, the first iteration
is not perfect. You make some tweaks and then and
then we get it to the point. But this year,
I truly hope this year that if Clemson wins and
the game is fairly close, other words, if they'd beat
SMU by ten points, I still think SMU should get in.
And if they don't do that, there'll be some good
(52:11):
TV on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (52:11):
I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 2 (52:13):
The that's a tease. 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 d On
(52:35):
because you can't get Don and then he's not coaching
his son. I think there's something there. Booger.
Speaker 7 (52:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
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, but they're just too many
people talk. And then you bring in Tom Brady as
you know, a minority owner there, and I don't know
about that.
Speaker 6 (53:01):
I think Schadure 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,
(53:24):
I tell what end of April. And so that time
gap there, I think would probably prohibit the quote unquote
package deal from happening.
Speaker 7 (53:31):
Yeah, I think Brady's Brady's.
Speaker 6 (53:34):
Influence is probably gonna lead to Antonio Pierce not being there.
I think Brady's influence is gonna lead to Schaduur being
drafted franchise quarterback. We're gonna get an offensive mine in there,
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, put some skin in
the game. He puts skin in the game. Now he
(53:56):
gets to make decisions and because now he's got his
money where his mouth is. So so I'm with you,
I think should do it to the rate of somehow,
some way is going to happen.
Speaker 7 (54:05):
Dion.
Speaker 6 (54:05):
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 much like Nick Saban did
at Alabama.
Speaker 7 (54:19):
Nick Saban in the NFL did not work.
Speaker 6 (54:21):
I don't know if Dion in the NFL will work
to the level that is 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.
Speaker 7 (54:34):
Games a year. I mean, this is not even his
best team. They're nine to three this year.
Speaker 6 (54:39):
And you could argue that if they get a break
against Kansas or something like that, they could be in
the playoff. He was really one game from the playoff.
And so if you're Dion, you load up. He had
a really good recruiting class, and Dion will be in
the twelve team playoffs next year.
Speaker 7 (54:53):
Why would he go to the NFL and get his
head beat in?
Speaker 6 (54:55):
Because the NFL game is not about recruiting, it's just
about draft order, salary cap, all those different things.
Speaker 7 (55:01):
I don't think he wants to deal with that.
Speaker 2 (55:02):
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
(55:23):
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. Always have fun
on Sunday. I would say, play nice, but I don't
want you to.
Speaker 7 (55:42):
No, you know, I just want the right thing to
be done.
Speaker 6 (55:45):
And just like I did last year with Florida State,
somebody's got to stand out for teams at 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,
well what would happen if we did this or did that? No, no, no,
(56:07):
let's go off what actually happened. It's like last year
when Florida State went undefeated, they should have been They
should have been the fourteen playoffs this year. If SMU
gets penalized for making the conference championship game, I'm gonna
be very disappointed.
