Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey guys, Bobby here, thank you for being subscribed to
the Bobby Cast. We just appreciate it. The thing has
grown so much, and just appreciate you obviously. So we
have a new football podcast called Whistles, and the reason
is it's because we're doing twenty five episodes and then
it's just gonna die. And isn't that just a metaphor
for life. We live, we love, and then we die.
That's kind of sad, but that's what's happening here twenty
(00:22):
five Whistles. We're talking in college football NFL. And so
this is an episode that this was our starter episode
and the goal is in like five episodes, to be
embarrassed of this episode because it was so bad compared
to what we're doing now. But we're very proud of it.
And mostly if you like it, go and subscribe and
follow our podcast. I think it's the only ever limited
sports podcast that's focused on current sports. So Dan Patrick
(00:46):
is a guest. We're very excited he came on. I
just didn't expect to get somebody so awesome in the
first episode. Also, the Arkansas had football coach Sam Pittman,
and even if you hate Arkansas and you've heard me
talk about it so much you're like, please stab me
in the ear. We don't really talk about ark saw
football that much doing Mike. It's mostly like being an
SEC coach and the challenges behind the scenes stuff. Yeah,
and what it's like to be married and your wife
(01:08):
has to go well, football season so way less balanced now,
stuff like that. So I hope you listen to this,
and if you like it, go subscribe to twenty five
Whistles on I Heart Radio, Apple podcast or wherever you
listen to podcasts. Again, just search twenty five Whistles, the
number two five Whistles and I mean, we've got two
episodes up now, and I hope you listen to it.
(01:28):
And it's weird. People are like, well, I didn't know
you did sports. I'm out of retirement. I got called
back in back in back at a national sports you
on Fox Sports Radio for many years covered the draft
for ABC and ESPN, and it's just generally my my
obsession and hobby. And you're not gonna hear us breaking
down coverages in this podcast. It's just hopefully the stuff
that you want to hear your friends talking about sports.
(01:48):
All right, that's what's up. And we're gonna do it
till the super Bowl. But here is episode one with
Dan Patrick and all of us here in twenty five
whistles is the podcast called tim Sucking fun Ball and
they whist yes, but what didn't you expect? It's a
(02:09):
podcast whistles whatever, everybody, we we actually are wearing whistles,
and we'll get to that in a second. But whoever
has the best show today gets to blow the whistle
at the end. It's the it's the reward for winning,
doing the best job. If you overplay, though, we'll take
your whistle away for next game. That's quite the reward,
big one. The only one person gets to blow the
(02:30):
whistle at the end. What's happening, everybody. So what we're
gonna do here is we're gonna do our warm ups,
just like in a game. I'm gonna give you a
warm up question. We'll go around the room, we'll introduce you.
This is how we get to know each other. So
we'll go around there and first up, the question will
be who is your favorite football player as a kid.
So think about that for a second. Your favorite player
as a kid. First up, Adam Handbrick. Adam your favorite
(02:53):
football player as a child, Smithy, I grew up a
Cowboys fan. Yeah, you know, the the other Cowboys get
the traditional TV coverage in Arkansas, and that's who was
on and that's who my dad was a fan of,
and so I was. I got duped into being a
Cowboys fan when they were winning all those Super Bowls
and the nineties Eddie Joe Montana. So before I was
there a Cowboys hear me, Before I was a Cowboys fan,
(03:16):
I was the Ford Niners fan obviously, because Joe Montana
and Jared Rice and all those dudes were just dominating.
And then once Joe Montana went to the Chiefs retired,
bah blah, I was like, I need a team, and
so my mom was really into the Cowboys. Obviously I'm
from South Texas. Let's go Cowboys and we started winning.
That's my team now. But you can't really change teams.
Well you're not, as I literally thought you were a
(03:38):
much like deeper Cowboys fan. Yeah, I feel borderland trade Listen,
you can't trade teams. Listen. When you're a kid, you
like who you like and at that time it's just
whoever is winning it. I don't have a team, like
can you imagine. I can't imagine me a Ford Niners
fans still like that. That's ridiculous. I'm not from California, Texas,
but I'm surprised you just warn't as a kid, I
guess that's what I'm saying. Are there any I heart
(04:00):
Texans fans? I mean, like, unless you like live there
and you're like soup, you know that would be I
remember as a kid kid maybe a Texans fan because
they grew up there. I remember as a kid there
were a lot of Oilers, like it was split Cowboys.
Oilers and Cowboys weren't I mean, stop back. Those were
great days for them. But I think there were more
Oilers fans when Texans took over. I mean I didn't
know anybody kick off Kevin Your favorite football player as
(04:22):
a kid as a kid? Um, well, either one would
be Tom Brady, but he's still playing, so I'll go
with Randy Moss. That's crazy. I was nine. Do you
have such a beer and big muscles? How old are
you at a young age? No? You do not do
that's all. Yeah, like the oil fields for like twenty years.
(04:44):
Is that a good thing? That's a good thing. That's
a good thing. He's like se Kwan Barkley as a kid,
like Joe Burrow. Mike d favorite football player as a
kid Troy Aikman. Okay, that's a good one. How old
are you, Mike thirty one? There we go. There's like
a generation difference still on your favorite players, though, I
guess Tom Brady the first part of Tom Brady, Yeah,
(05:05):
like the earlier. But like I said, the first player
I remember liking was Randy Moss. Dear God, we have
three Cowboys fans here. It's a Cowboys show. Welcome to
the Cowboys club. Mine is boom Assayasin because when I
was a kid, he was the only left handed quarterback
that I really like, and in the Forts were winning,
so I didn't go with Steve Young and Joe Montana
was hit early in my early days. And then when
(05:27):
Steve Young became the quarterback and he was left handed,
I don't like a winner. I like somebody that's a
loser that becomes a winner. So I was a big
Cincinnati Bengals fan. I remember watching them beat by the
forty niners and being so sad. I cried. It was
it was awful. But Boomersia said he was my inspiration
until like seventh grade when I wasn't quarterback anymore. And
he also like went to the Jets. And there's a
whole weird thing. So but I don't have a team.
(05:49):
I don't have an NFL team. I like a lot
of the NFL teams. I hate a few NFL teams,
mostly just the Cowboys. But and I don't even have
But I don't even hate him as much. I hated
a winner, so I hated the Cowboys all throughout the
you know, mid to late nineties. We should love us now, well, yes,
you're a big losers. But you guys are so annoying.
So you say annoying, I say, we're very hopeful. But yeah,
(06:11):
it's a passion, hope because every start of the year
we're like, this is it, this is our year. But
I can appreciate that. I don't I like that about you,
but I can respect and also hate the passion. Hey,
is it too late for you to come up with
a favorite NFL team? Like? Um, I have a couple
of friends that play, and that makes it weird. Weish
we should take some tweets and like get people to
(06:35):
to for their teams. I don't give a crap. I'm
good watching. I'll watch fantasy. I'll root for the Titans
because they're close and there some people over there. I'll
follow Arkansas players like Traylon Brooks with the Titans. I'll
keep up with that. So okay. Second question, name a
dumb sports mascot? All right, name a dumb sports mascot. Question.
Eddie says he's in go Blue Devils. Okay, the duke
(06:57):
blue Man? What is that? High school was red Devils?
I get it when you pictured the devil, it's red, right,
But what's a blue Devils like the ice a devil?
Is that his? Like? I just don't get it. His
twin brother, that's the good devil. That's a good point.
Kick off, Kevin, let's go with the Philly fanatic. I
(07:17):
think it's just random to me. His look. You know,
that's an interesting tea too, because when the mascot doesn't
actually like Stanford, what is it? They have a tree
and they have Christmas year round. That wasn't my answer.
Oh that's but yeah, Toledo. You know Toledo's mascot. Are
they Rockets? Rockets? Um? So, I hate the Toledo Rockets.
(07:42):
First of all, I hate because we went and Brad
Paisley asked Eddie and I to go play a show
after Arkansas played Toledo. It was a little more memorial stadium,
and so we're supposed to kill him, and Eddie and
I are like, absolutely so, somebody an opener. Eddie and
I the reging idiots and Brad easily right after the
game we're supposed to win. We lost the game to Toledo.
(08:03):
They beat us, and we were miserable. I didn't want
to do as awful, So I hate the Rockets. I mean,
Toledo's cool and fine. I was really worried that night
that you weren't gonna go on my boycott. Straight up,
Mike d named dumb sports mascot. I can't even think of,
not a single dumb mascot. No, if I thought some
(08:25):
of the go razor back. No, somebody gets fired the
first ever hear from them again, h Adam hambroke a
dumb sports mascot. Why is Alabama the Elephants? I still
don't understand it. I've been it's been explained to me
multiple times, but I still don't get into care. I
think a war eagle similar meaning what's a war eagle
(08:46):
I like, but I like a piece eagle like the
American eagle. Yeah, I mean yeah, I forget to pick
the kind of eagle. Okay, we're all stretching out. We
got one more. Would your wife or Kevin? I don't
think you have a you know, married, Sorry, you have girl? No,
I don't. Would your wife or have you athetical? Have
you ever had a girlfriend? What's the last time? The
(09:08):
last serious one was probably four years ago. Okay, let's
just act like you're still together. Okay, perfect it Would
your wife rather you be generally a good athlete, or
would you rather you generally have good fashion sense? If
it was just naturally in you, Mike d fashion sense.
(09:29):
My wife gives on me all the time that I
dressed like crap Adam hambrig Oh, definitely fashion sense. Yeah,
Kevin athlete for sure, Eddie. I mean I don't dress well.
My wife never says anything, and she loves that. My
boys are athletes, like my little kids are really good athletes,
and she loves that. So I think she would like
for her husband to be an athlete. Yeah, I'm gonna
(09:50):
go with athlete to My wife is extremely athletic. It's annoying.
She's so gifted athletic, athletically and so I think she
would like that for kid. Time for the kid to
dear God, if it gets my athletic ability, not hers.
She can kill me. And I was a pretty good athlete,
but she's you know, um and she can handle the
fashion stuff for me out. Yesterday I went to dinner
(10:11):
and I walked down all my clothes landing on the bed.
I don't put him out. She pick him out for me.
That's nice. Yeah, yeah, she kills that. Um. So all right,
twenty five whistles. Here's why we're named this draft. Kings
was like, hey, let's I want you to do a
show and I said, okay. We talked about it for
a long time and I said, I don't want to
commit to a show for all year. I don't know
who's gonna do it with me. I don't know if
(10:32):
we have the capat. I said, let's lot do a
sports show and we'll do it till the Super Bowl.
They were like, great, I'll do one a week, which
we're doing here. We'll probably do a little more than
one a week occasionally, but I said I'll do twenty
five and then we're retiring, and so that's why it's
twenty five. Whistles will build whistled into each show, episodes
over and then we're good. Episode two. That's it. Dan
Patrick coming up in a little bits. As I look
back at my favorite interviews ever and like the coolest ones.
(10:55):
I put Steven Tyler up there, half Hourady with John Mayer,
and I put Dan Patrick because I'm just a massive
Dan Patrick fan. You guys thought it was cool, right
it was? It was awesome. So Dan Patrick coming up.
And obviously the first episode, we're gonna have Sam Pittman,
the Arkansas football head coach. We don't really talk about
Arkansas football, meaning we don't get in. It's mostly like
being an SEC coach, being famous, now in a town,
(11:18):
all of that. So we talked with Sam Pittman a
little bit. I was worried that when you book Sam Pittman,
I'm like, here we go, it's gonna be an Arkansas podcast.
It easily could have been, but I didn't make it
that I It was could have been any SEC head coach,
but I just felt like I needed to go Pittman
because that's my guy, and I knew I could get
out just texted him, honestly, So next week and we
get the quarterbacks coach, you to play quarterback for it.
(11:42):
Logins coming on the polic All right, here's what we're
gonna do. This is a little game we're gonna play
for the episodes that we do. You don't have to play,
but if you don't get in today, you can't play
the rest of the year. Oh my gosh. Right, So
we're gonna play who Wins It All? So for one dollar.
For one dollar, you can buy a team in college
footb all you can somebody else can buy the same
(12:03):
team for one dollar. You can buy a team in
the NFL. Right now, you go who Wins it All?
Put a dollar in on it, and you can keep
that one dollar in it. Now, if you change your
pick at any time, you gotta double your dollar bet
to two dollars. You can change and pick another team.
So that being the case, we'll have to shut it
down at one point. Obviously. What figure out when that is?
(12:23):
Maybe it's new Year. Maybe it's because I just made
the scheme up last night. So I don't want you
guys to go beautiful mind to figure out how to
actually beat the system. So We're gonna play who wins
it all? Nobody got a heads up, But for one dollar,
you get to pick a team, and each one dollar college,
one dollar NFL, and we'll keep up with it. Um
does everybody want in for a dollar? It would be dumb.
(12:46):
Let's play who wins it all? And we'll check every
week if we wants to change your mind? Who wins
it all? In college football? Okay? Now, remember, if you
pick a big team, someone else might pick it with you.
You just can't come in on a team that's already
picked a week after. We're later. So if you pick
Alabama right now and you have been changing your mind
(13:09):
to go to somebody else, I can then go to Alabama.
But if you have it, I can't take Alabama later
because we gotta split the money up in a weird way. Also,
I'm making up the rules as I go. Right there. Okay,
let's play who wins it all? Adam Handbrike college football?
Who wins it all? Oh man, I'm gonna it's hard
to argue against Alabama. I'm gonna argue against Alabama though,
(13:32):
and take Ohio State just big. We can't. We can't
just have Alabama win it every year. You guys, well,
I mean they didn't. I know, um, Eddie, give me
a dollar for Alabama? Okay, I mean why not was
guaranteed money? Man kick off? Kevin roll tied, I'm going Obama. Oky,
we got two Obamas. Mike d I'm going with Georgia. Okay,
(13:56):
you know what. First week, I'm also gonna go Alama.
I'm gonna go. I do want, but I just want
to be differently. I don't want to go three deep
on Alabama. We should have all written it down before,
but I thought if I could read it, read you
just up. I know. But I'm just coming up with
(14:16):
the game as we go here. But yesterday he means,
like an hour ago, I'm gonna go with Alabama. After
all that thought, I still go to help. Okay, So
there we go. That's that's NFL. That money is at
one pot in FL. Ready, yea, let's go around the room,
pick your team and it'll cost you one dollar to
get in. Mike, do you get to go first? I'm
going with the Bucks kick off? Kevin. See you want
(14:36):
to go to the Bucks to Yeah, let's go to
the Bucks, big Adam. I'm going Bengals. Okay, yep, Eddie
a bunch of videots. It's a dollar. Give me the cowboys.
Give me the Cowboys. In week five, I'll probably change
another dollar. I didn't say when they started out over
for I'm gonna go with the packers so that you know,
(14:57):
you guys can't hop on the packers. So I'm gonna
sit on the packers for a little bit. I'll go
with the packers to win at all. Just we should
have like a jar and have actual dollar bills. We
should put it somewhere. But people steal from here. But
it's only against like five bucks, so it's like a
big deal. But everybody has, yes, everybody, everybody has two dollars. Yes,
So just so I'm clear on the rules. Can once
(15:19):
we pick a team, we can't and then we change
from that team, we can't come back to that team.
You can if nobody else is on it. If no
one else but like Alabama's already been packed, Alabama's on.
So it's long if one of you Alabamas or me
move off of it, as long as somebody's still on it,
it's not open to take. If everybody moves off, somebody
else can get back on. But if I were to
get in a week four, then the money's all weirdly
(15:41):
split up and we gotta do percentages. We got it,
and if I that's the rules and I don't, I
have to look back what I said. Okay, so we
all have our teams here. I do want to talk
about Draft Kings for a second, because they're awesome and
they're the reason that I'm doing this, and I've been
with Draft Kings for a long time as in not
just spokesperson, I'm not just spokespert, and I'm also a client.
(16:01):
Um So when we're talking about the futures, the Bills
are the favorite at plus six hundred, so they nobody
picked the Bills or the betting favorite. The Bucks are
at seven plus seven hundred, the Chiefs plus thousands, the
Packers of plus a thousand, and the Rams of plus
twelve hundred. So those are your top five teams right
now if you're gonna bet. But even picking a favorite
this early, because I'm not a big favorite guy to bet,
(16:23):
but even picking a favorite, the odds are long enough
that this early there's still some pretty good money there.
If you've got Buffalo a plus six hundred eddie, if
I bet if I've got a hundred bucks on Buffalo
the plus six hundred, how much of money will I make?
Uh five dollars? Right, because it would not not counting
your one eddie. If I bet a hundred bucks, yeah,
(16:45):
you're all you're almost right. I mean, if it's you're
not counting. If I bet a hundred bucks Buffalo plus
six hundred, that is how much money? But so it's seven.
But it's the one the back exactly. You got it.
So we've all made our picks. But Draft Kings is awesome.
It's easy to use. You get your money quick back.
It's not like some people that we know that go
through odd foreign places and that's a whole situation. Yeah,
(17:08):
don't don't be that guy. Oh yeah, appreciate Draft Kings
and being a part of it. Here. Let's do this.
I think this is intric We already kind of got
on a little bit. But we're gonna do identify your
team in the first episode, so you know bias the
whole season. So when people say crap, you know that
they have a bias. Um, I'll go first. I don't
have an NFL team, but in the Arkansas player on
bias four and I'm a massive Arkansas Razorbacks fan. Um,
(17:29):
but I'm not biased there either, just in case at
a bias alert. I don't have a college team. I
went to sam Houston State. I mean, they're decent at
the Division one, doful, but you're not like following them
every week? No, no no, no. But on ESPN plus they
do play some of their games, and I scan it
on a Saturday and they're playing, I watch it. I
guess my point with this is if you hear us
(17:51):
talking about a team in a segment here, so I
guess Samson says rocking for some reason if they're coming up.
But so, no college team, but also you're in a
all teams is the Dallas Cowboys kick off? Kevin uh
No allegiance to a collegiate team, I'm like you, Or
I have teams that I don't like and then teams
that I kind of root for for whatever reason, So
that's a bias or who do you not like? Because
I don't like Notre Dame. See I grew up watching them,
(18:14):
but I'm not a huge fan. I don't like Ohuse State,
I don't like I might not want to hear this.
Oklahoma I didn't like Oklahomila till I had to, but
now I do. I can't hate them anymore. But State
it's another one. I don't like Texas, USC. I like Texas,
I don't like USC. Uh. That's pretty much it for
the most part. NFL, you have a New England had on, Yes,
(18:35):
Patriots fan. My dad from back East Rhode Island. So
I grew up in California, but dads from I've never
met anybody from rhodel Ken just a whole like Mystery. Yeah,
Mighty Texas, the Cowboys. Okay, I don't hate people from
Texas or even individual long Horns, the brand on Arkansas.
(18:55):
I'm supposed to hate the long Horns. Adam Hamburg, massive
Razorback fan. This is part of the reason why me
and Bobby your friends, um and uh. Yeah. I grew
up in Arkansas, but a lot of my growing up
was in Mississippi. So I was like the only Arkansas
Razorback fan within like two hundred miles, and so I
just like, you know, I just like clung onto that
(19:16):
as a kid, the Razorbacks and Cowboys. Razorbacks and Cowboys.
But also since moving to Nashville, it was kind of
made made space in my heart for the Titans. And
so it's can have multiple teams, can multiple teams, you
can't have a one one. That's different conferences, though it
was now different conferences. You can't have two teams. You
can root along for two teams, but you can't have
two teams. You have one team or no teams. Is
(19:40):
that is that if you have three teams, you have
no teams. You have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks.
That's like having multiple favorite teams. Um, okay, so this
is our first episode and we're today, we're gonna start
and I've introduced you to Kevin. Now I horribly named
him kick Off Kevin because I was just like, we
gotta call you something, and so it's a terrible names
that you can change it, but we didn't. And so
in the theme of naming you horribly, I've named your
(20:03):
segment horribly. So this segment is called kick Off Kevin's
five question tittle tattle that makes no sense whatsoever, But
this is this five question tittle tattle where and here's
the rules And went up to this every time, but
Kevin will come and he'll bring me five questions about
NFL and n C double A I will answer it,
and if you disagree with me, this is your first
(20:24):
shot at the whistle. If I finish and you disagree,
blow the whistle and I will come to you and
you can say your part. I like it. Okay, we're
seeing I made this up to and I can't disagree. Correct.
You are in this. You are the reporter. You cannot disagree.
If later we bring it up again, that's fine, but
you have to be absolutely impartial. Okay. I see the
(20:45):
question and I shut my mouth like a good reporter.
Is okay, first question and the tittle tattle Kevin. Alright,
which offseason quarterback in the collegiate World transfer will result
real result in the most wins for their respective program.
Caleb Williams going to USC Quinn you were is going
to Texas? Dylan Gabriel to oh You or Jackson Dart
down to old Miss Jackson Dart's interesting. I mean, all
(21:07):
those guys are kind of leaving the same place. It's
like it's like justin Fields and Borough and when you
know State Georgia, they all kind of just shifted a
little bit. But that's happening here a little bit. Darts
interesting because that Lane Kiffin's system is ready to win
a little bit they have. I think they have a
pretty decent shot to be competitive in the SEC West. Um,
(21:28):
the kid at Oklahoma's from UCF. They are good and
they play in a conference it's not that good, so
that's a factor. Caleb Williams awesome. I watched him a
lot because I watched a lot of the games of
my my wife last year. And when he came in,
he took over for Spencer Rattler. It was the win
over Texas. When they came back they wanted. He took
(21:50):
over the whole game. Uh, that was pretty awesome. And
who's who's the other option you get? And he hasn't
even won the job. He's going to be the quarterback,
but he hasn't officially won the job yet, at least
as we're recording this. Uh, he's the kid from Ohio State.
He got a million bucks. I think designing pieced out,
which is gonna be interesting too with Manning coming in
Arch Manning next year into Texas. Now, if he doesn't play,
(22:11):
which they're saying he's not going to freshman year, that
kind of works out because you also have this year
and next year and then maybe he goes pro. That way,
you can sit for a year spent a rattlers another
option in South Carolina. I thought about him, but he
kind of had a down year last year, so I
was like, yeah, but then you're getting getting replaced. Yeah.
He was the odds on favorite to be the first
round draft pick this year though at one point last year.
(22:34):
I'm gonna go with but from your options, give me
your options one more time, just a quarterbacks. Since Caleb
Williams you see winning yours in Texas dealing Gabriel to Ou,
I'm gonna go Gabriel. Gabriel is a good quarterback from
ucf UM, and I think, oh you, of all those programs,
has the best shot to actually win a lot of games,
(22:54):
win that conference, and possibly be in the playoff. So
that my answer there, all right, who blew the whistle? Me? Adam?
Blew the whistle? Alright, Adam, because Kayla Williams, he's got
a way easier road man. The Pack twelve is is
just not as good as the Big twelve. And I
can't I can't think of more than three teams that
(23:18):
should beat usc UM and so I think they're gonna
at least win nine nine games. They have to win
nine games. I think Oklahoma wins ten or eleven. They might.
I don't know it's gonna beat them. Texas. Listen, Tech,
I know Tech, he's got a first place vote. Texas
is always just a craft shoot. And then they still
have to get by Baylor, they had to give by
Oklahoma State, and and I don't know that they can
(23:39):
win those in our first year head coach. Those are
all like really good programs right now, I would now
I don't agree with, but Ventables has been in Oklahoma,
so it's not like that's all new to him. He
was defensive coordinated there for a long time. Um, I'm
still going to Oklahoma. You blew your whistle. Now you're
you're off the show. All right, that's my answer. That's
number one. Give me ever two? All right. Do you
(23:59):
think Rams quarterback Matt staffords sore elbow will be the
downfall of l A's chance as repeating as Super Bowl champions?
I mean downfall. No, I think it's gonna be something
they have to watch, and I think they'll have to
play a little different because of that. I think they'll
probably not be able to run their offense as freely
as they possibly would want to, even if he's feeling
pretty good. I think they just gotta. They have to
(24:21):
monitor it and take care of it, even if it's
not killing it at Tendonita sucks and I never even
had it at a level like that, but I had it,
and it was for four months. Had it worked on
dry needled, I had. I did everything to it. Um
so downfall. No, and their defense is so good that
they could actually keep them in it or not mine.
(24:42):
They could actually still win a whole lot of freaking games.
So no, And I think Stafford will probably be fine
at the end of it. It's not like it's throwing elbow.
It's that he's coming off reconstructive surgery. So I'm gonna go.
They're still in it. They still have a chance, all right.
Next one, Okay, old faces and new places for the
wider evers. This year, will they have open or under
(25:02):
their two thousand twenty one totals will start with Tyreek
Hill with receiving yards in one had one thousand, two
hundred thirty nine. But two is this quarterback And I know,
like people hate too and they say you can't throw.
I've been watching the Dolphins practice videos and I'm only
seen the ones Dolphins ones want me to see. They're
looking pretty good. Like Tyrenk is running fast everybody. He
(25:25):
was it on Instagram, it was on Twitter. Actually, I'm
gonna go with under only because it is to it
and not my homes. Uh, they're gonna really, I mean,
waddle is so good. Here's the thing about Miami though,
They've got a couple elite wide receivers where the Chiefs didn't.
(25:46):
She's had a great tight end. But I don't feel
like they could open it. Why don't can fly to
Like you got two of the fastest guys in the NFL.
I'm still gonna go under because of the quarterback and
not because I think I like to. Uh, but two
is not my homes, so gonna go under. Give me
another one, all right? A. J. Brown twenty one or
two one touchdowns, had five over under five this year
with the Eagles. I think he has more. I think
(26:08):
his quarterback situation is slightly improved. I don't think that
he's going to a quarterback that's going to change his life.
I think he's got money that will change his life now,
which is the Titans didn't want to pay him, but
I'm gonna say more because I think he's gonna be
more of a focus in that offense where Tannehill they
threw a bit and he was they tried to make
him the focus. They trying to make Julio the focus
(26:30):
whenever he was not hurt, but he was also hurt
a little bit. So I'm gonna go he's gonna have
more in Philadelphia, Okay, And Davante Adams to twoptions had
a dree over under twenty three this year under just
because Renfroze there, uh, that system, he will get he
will get a lot of balls. But um, you know
(26:51):
between renfro Ah Davante Adams Ah that the tied end
in in Vegas is really good to Waller last year
came out and kind of came out of nowhere as
far as the production he had. So I'm gonna go
with still no, but I think they have a lot
more options and I think he'll he will perform wonderfully,
just won't get as many catches. All right, next question? Alright.
(27:14):
Former pit wide receiver Jordan Adison, who transferred the USC
this off season, recently said I definitely felt like I
got drugged through the mud with the media after catching
scrutiny from leaving Pit to go to USC Is this
new era of college football free agency? Bad or good
for the game? If you worked at a business, Eddie,
let's say you work at a business. Let's let's call
(27:36):
it Eddie's Cattle Company. Love, it's where do you work
at your own company? But I and Eddie's cattle company
made ten bucks a year and that was what everybody made.
And my company makes ten dollars a year. Just follow
me along. I'm keeping the numbers lower kill and Eddie's Cattle.
Eddie's Cattle Company the next year made twenty bucks for
a whole year. You like doubled, right, Hey, yeah, you
(27:56):
do this. It's Eddie cattle companies growing in popularity. You
just you've signed and uh different little deals for your
cattle to go to certain places. Now, now five years later,
Eddi's Cattle Company has gone from ten bucks a year
to a thousand dollars. Let's go, you're there's so much
money coming into the cattle company. Now, do you think
that the people that are doing the work to make
(28:16):
that money deserve to be paid more? You're asking me,
as the owner of my Eddie's cattle come asking you,
as a person sitting right here, do you think that
the people that are actually making the doing the work
should be paid a little more for the job that
they're doing. This making more money, treat your people right, Yes,
they will work harder for you. So this is a
macro perspective of that. Yes, he's been dragged through the mud.
(28:36):
That's not that's not him though he's basically a free agent.
He let that be known. People were bidding for him. Um,
players should make money because the n C Double A
is college football is cru NFL been killing it for
a while. They're making so much money in college football,
the TV deals. You've had to have a billion dollar
Big ten deal, a bit with a b billion dollar
and so. But the only people who shouldn't get paid
(28:59):
to the people they're actually doing the work. So I'm
a big We should pay people for what they're doing.
And I I understand people are going with this. College football
like what he used to be. The only other thing
that I could compare it to was the It was
controversial when they started to give athletes scholarships because even
(29:19):
back then they were like, wait, you're gonna pay You're
gonna pay for their college to play. They should just
play the sport for love of the game. It's the
same thing. It's just more money and you and more
people know about it now because of social media. You're
you're paying them with a free education. Then college of
ball didn't make a whole bunch of money, but now
it's killing And so he was dragged with the mud.
He deserves it, but he also deserves what he gets
(29:40):
on the other side of the good stuff too. So
that's the name of the game. You're public, you're making money,
you get dragged to I get dressed with the mud
all time. Do I deserve it? Sometimes? Uh? But I'm
a big n I L fan. I think profit revenue
sharing will be a thing with players. I think players
should be paid. End. Your question was is it fair
(30:02):
for him? You do you think it's good or bad
for the game. It's good. It's good. They'll figure it out.
It's a wild West right now. It's a little too wild,
but you gotta go full while west before you can
shut it down a little bit true, all right? Right?
Next question, how is this the fifth tittle tattle or fourth?
This is the last one, fifth and final one? The
last three champions in college football have come from the SEC,
and Alabama is the favorite. Again, if picking today, are
you choosing the SEC or the field? Come January? The
(30:25):
SE is probably gonna have one in it. So I'm
just doing odds here, not about Alabama or Georgia. But
if the SEC has this person in the championship game,
that's still fifty fifty. I'm gonna go SEC. I'm big
SEC homer, But if I'm just doing probabilities, I would
still go SEC. New you said Alabama and Georgia and
that's it versus the field. Maybe I feel a little
different about that because I feel like somebody could squeak
(30:46):
up and probably surprise one of those two teams on
one of the sides. Possibly surprise those are my two
words I'm using. I don't think they will, but the
SEC is tough, so I would take the secure alright, Hey,
kick off, Kevin, terrible name, tittle tattle, terrible name for
a segment, but not bad. What the whole segment? Adam
Blue whistle and he has big balls and he's done though.
(31:10):
Yeah yeah, um so. Dan Patrick love him, Dan Patrick
Radio Show, Dan Patrick, ESPN, Dan Patrick Sun Night Football.
I was honored it was amazing, And here's my interview
with Dan Patrick. Whoa Dan, good to talk to you.
I'm big, just massive fan, just a massive, massive fans.
So you know when they said you would actually spend
a few minutes with me, I I was shocked first
(31:32):
of all and elated. So just humble thank you before
we start. Great, great, glad to Glad to hill. You know,
whenever I'm doing an interview and in one capacity or
the other, I do them all the day, all the time,
either on the radio show or on a TV show,
But I it starts to just be a wheel and
you're just doing them as they come, and you rarely
(31:53):
get excited. Sometimes you're a little more up for one
because you know the value of a bit. At this
point in your career, do you still get about interviews
and with who especially? I think if you have somebody
who's going to be honest with you, because you want
to make sure you're not wasting the time of your audience.
And I always want to make sure if I have
somebody on maybe you don't know who they are, but
(32:13):
I'm gonna bring out something in them that you would
be interested in. I like the challenge of doing that,
but it's the person who's going to be honest or
most honest that I find interesting. It's the person who
tries to dodge what you're asking, doesn't give you much,
wants to be very vanilla. Then that's where it gets
really tedious. Give me an example, somebody who's great that
you know, all right, we're gonna do it, and they're
(32:35):
gonna be awesome. Charles Barkley is always great, Reggie Miller
is always great. I find that if you know my
guests know if they come on the show that this
is what we're asking them to do, don't come on
the show unless you're ready to really give something, reveals something.
But it's up to me sometimes to kind of extract
(32:55):
them that from these guys. They get interviewed more than anybody.
When you think about it, athletes are interviewed more than anybody.
You know where they are, you know, every day at practice, um,
you know, before a game, after a game with the NBA.
You have to have an approach that is refreshing to
them and their competitors. And I find I got to
(33:16):
compete with you to get an answer out of you.
John McEnroe said, you gotta work harder to get a
better answer out of me. And he was right. This
was early in my career and I never forgot that
sometimes you gotta work harder to get a better answer
out of somebody. Do you feel like you're a better
interviewee because you interview so many people? Because you know,
(33:37):
what I'll do is all critique your questions while you're
asking them, and it's not fair to you. But I've
given so much thought to interviewing. When I was at ESPN,
I did a seminar that was five days, eight hours
each day on interviewing. It was the best thing that
ever happened to me in my career. But it's the
(34:00):
worst thing when you start to listen to radio or
you listen to somebody on TV doing interviews, because you're
listening for the things that they're not doing what you
were told to do to bring out a good interview.
Open ended questions, short question, You know that first question,
what are you setting up for the next question? For
your last question? What are you trying to get at?
(34:21):
Like there's a strategy to it. And I wouldn't have
known this until I took this class. It was a
guy named John Swatsky out of Canada. It was the
master of the interview, and I was fascinated by it. Uh.
I don't know who else, if anybody else was at ESPN.
They they were mad at me because I wanted to
bring this guy in to teach us how to interview,
(34:43):
because I saw an article and people are like kicking
and screaming going to this seminar, and they didn't realize
that I'm the reason why they were going there, because
I wanted this guy to come in and help us.
You know, when you talk about the ESPN stuff, and
I don't have a lot of questions about that, and
I still don't, but it makes me think about, you know,
my whole lifetime of watching you on ESPN and even
Rock and Roll Jeopardy, which I was a big Jeopardy
(35:04):
guys and a music guy obviously, and then you know,
watch on Sunday nights and I would come home from
the radio show and watch your radio show, you and
all the dan neds, like just a massive fan. But
you know, I've started to realize that I, as a
public figure, people think they know me at times more
than they actually do, and they'll come up and and so,
you know, one of the things that I'm most curious about.
(35:24):
It's like if you go to your house and I
feel like I know, yeah, but I obviously don't on
a personal level, like in your house, what is your
favorite picture in your house? Which if I just asked
that question, what is it, who's in it? I'm a
big fan of the artist Wolf Khan. He passed away.
I think he was just over the age of ninety.
And you can't be in a bad mood when you
(35:45):
look at a painting of Wolf Khan. Now pictures. Uh,
there's a picture of my daughter in the library where
she's in Galway and she's in a mud puddle and
she's probably eleven years of age, and she's got mud
all over her. She's thrown mud in the air, and
she's got the biggest smile and it's one of those
(36:06):
moments that you just go that person is having a
great day. So I tend to gravitate towards you feel
better after you you see that picture and you see
a painting from Wolf Kan. What about if I ask
about sports, what personal sports picture do you have? Either
you're somewhere with someone that you look at and it's
not it doesn't mean as much because obviously that's your daughter.
(36:30):
But it's like, man, that was a great moment, either
in sports life or my life. I was in a
boxing ring. It was fight night in Arizona, and I
was the host and we were honoring Mohammed Ali and
we were going to give him this ring, and Mohammed
Ali is standing next to me waiting for me to
give him this ring. And I'm describing to the audience
(36:54):
what this ring signifies, and I'm going to hand this
to Mohammed Ali. And you know that this was probably
a twenty years ago, but you know Parkinson's the onset
of Parkinson had started there. And I just remember in
the moment, I'm thinking I'm gonna give a ring to
(37:14):
Mohammed Ali, and I sort of fanboyd that. I was like,
I gotta get this out of my head, because I
sometimes that's the problem. I have too many things I'm
thinking of when I'm doing something that I shouldn't be
thinking about. But that moment where I look and I go,
who would have thought that a kid came from a
small town in Ohio is there with Mohammed Ali, honoring
(37:36):
Mohammed Ali, And I'm it's never lost on me where
I came from and growing up in a big family,
that I came a long way, but that you can
come from a small town where you never would have
thought you've gotten there. So it brings out a lot
of different thoughts memories there of you're still this kid
(37:56):
who was from Mason, Ohio, but you got here. Don't
forget where you came from from Mountain Pine, Arkansas, population
seven uh So similar instances, you know, growing up and
there wasn't a lot of resource where I came from.
So how what showed you and who showed you that
there was actually a path to greater even though you
(38:19):
couldn't quite define greater. I think I was too naive
or stupid to let reality sink in and that you
can't do this. I didn't have a plan b So
when people said, oh, if you weren't gonna be a
sports conister, what would you be? And I'd be like,
I don't, I don't know. I'm guessing bartender. But I
I didn't know, and I had been rejected in quite
(38:41):
a few places. I lost a job, local job in Dayton, Ohio,
and I was distraught. So I'm I'm twenty six seven,
I don't have a full time job in sports, and
that's old in this business to get started, and I
thought I'm never gonna get I was doing morning drive
(39:02):
radio rock and roll station, and I thought, this is
what I'm gonna be doing. And the next girlfriend said,
just come down to Atlanta. I said, day I don't
want to go to Atlanta. She goes, no, just come
down here. CNN's hiring. I go, I just I lost
out on a job in Dayton, Ohio. I'm not going
to get a job at CNN. So I go down there,
lo and behold. I go in there last day I'm
(39:24):
in Atlanta. Give him my resume. Tape guy says, when
can you start? So if I don't go to Atlanta,
I'm not here. I mean I'm somewhere, but I'm not
here because CNN. I was there for five years and
after that I went to ESPN for eight team. So
(39:44):
I always tell people right place, right time, But you
better be right about what you have to know, like
you have to know it if you get that opportunity.
And I'm sure that at some point somebody wanted to
see if you knew exactly what you needed to know,
and you did, or you wouldn't be seated there like
we get those moments, but be ready for the moment.
(40:06):
And that was something that stayed with me, stays with me.
I tell that to my kids all the time. Be prepared,
be overprepared, even if you don't get it, you'll still
show that that person you you showed them respect by
being prepared. You mentioned eighteen years at ESPN, and I
worked on American Idol for four seasons, and I would
talk to some of the old contestants from back when
(40:26):
Idol was so big, and but they said they didn't
know it, they couldn't feel it because they were in it. Now.
ESPN was a culture, especially for me, Was that situation
similar because you guys weren't changing culture. Did you know
it and could you feel it then? Or was it
its own bubble? We were cordoned off, absolutely, and I
think that's by design by management. They didn't want us
(40:50):
to be bigger than those four letters, not that we
could be, but they didn't want us coloring outside the lines.
Management even told me on one occasion, we don't want
another Chris Berman, because Berman is the most important person
in the history of ESPN. But he was sort of,
you know, a hot air balloon that was higher than
(41:12):
everybody else but still tethered. And they didn't want that.
They didn't want that to happen to me or Keith
Oberman or Stewart Scott or whoever you want to throw
in there. So they didn't want you to be a personality.
Um So I think that that was kind of eye
opening that we were getting honored. Mentioned. Uh, people came
(41:36):
up to us when we saw them when we were
out of events, but we weren't in New York or
l A. We're in Bristol, Connecticut. We didn't run into anybody,
but when we did, then you heard the impact that
we were having. And you kind of juxtaposed that too
management that we never knew our ratings. They never told us.
(41:57):
They didn't. They didn't want to empower you and say,
you guys are really kicking ass here. It was like, yeah,
you guys solid and improving, you know, kind of doing
a good job there. You're like, damn, I thought I
thought we were good. But that was that was eye
opening there that management wanted to kind of keep us
under their thumb. Final question about the ESPN days and
(42:19):
as far as when who is would you say as
your BFF. Now from those days, if you had to
pick one, oh, I would say that I correspond with
Rich Eyes and more than anybody else, the people I
really enjoyed were producers, associate producers, the makeup people, camera people.
(42:41):
Those are the people I always enjoyed being around. Nobody
wants to be around talent because all we do is
talk about ourselves. I wanted to be around the people
who were just normal or as normal as possible in
our business. And those are the people I'm still in
touch with. Uh more the producers than the talent there,
(43:01):
but probably Rich Eyes. Where does conference realignment end or
where is it in five years? From where you sit
right now, I still think we're headed towards an a
f C NFC model with college football, where we just say,
let's let's pull back the curtain. Let's not kill anybody.
This is big time business. Have revenue sharing, UM gonna
(43:23):
treat them like their professionals, which they are. And I
think you might have thirty teams in the NFC version
and thirty she has sixty teams. Let's say a sixteen
team playoff, and you know you might have relegation where
maybe the sixty team drops out with the team that
(43:44):
won the national championship in one double A or or
something that creates excitement at the top and the bottom.
But I do think we're headed towards let's just have
the fifty or sixty sixty best college football teams actually
compete for a national championship and then you have everybody
else after that with the fluidity of realignment or even
(44:05):
in I L, like let's do five years in the future.
There what's different about the n I L structure in
five years? If you're just playing psychic then is today? Well,
the coaches have to embrace this. You know, when Kirby's
Smart at Georgia signs a ten million dollar a year contract,
but then bemoans the fact that we're paying these players
(44:26):
a hundred thousand dollars or two hundred thousand dollars, like,
have a dose in reality here. Now you're getting paid
and you don't want them to get paid. Your job
is tougher because of name, image and like, plain and simple,
these coaches, I don't care if it's Nick Saban, Kirby Smart,
whoever it is. This makes your you know, the transfer
portal name image and likeness makes it difficult. But when
(44:48):
the source says to me, you know, the going rate
for a running back is this price, the going rate
for a quarterback is this, and the going rate for
a wide It's almost like you have a list, like
a men you where you go? How much is the stake?
It's this, um you know, how much is that? It's
that that's where we're headed with all. We're already there.
(45:10):
So I think embracing name, image and likeness, maybe you
kind of put them all under the same umbrella. Maybe
you're you're paying them. Maybe there's a salary cap that
you have. I got. You can't say that won't happen
because look at where we are now. Who would have
thought Texas and Oklahoma would be in the sec U,
c l A and USC going to the big tent. See,
(45:33):
you can't say, well, I don't ever happen, because in
college football it could happen. And I think, as we
move forward with this, how much are the players involved
in this? Do we come up with legislation that limits this?
I mean, you still have to declare this is income here,
so it's got to be above board. And I think
(45:54):
that that kind of takes away the If you take
away name, image, and likeness. Bobby, you're going to have
back to the old days of cheating. This is just
above board. It's like, hey, would you give him a
hundred thousand dollars? Okay? Whereas before would be like do
you hear what Eric Dickerson got at s m U
gave him a trans am and they gave his MoMA house.
(46:16):
You know that that was always the kind of whispers
behind all of the Now it's above board, Like Zion Williamson,
I don't know what he got a duke, but he
got something right, Yeah, yeah, but you know these guys
get money. It may not be from the school, the coach,
but the shoe company. So it's here. It's been here
(46:39):
now at least it's above board. But five years down
the road, I don't know what the goling salary is
going to be. But a a star quarterback, you know
he's gonna get a NFL like they're making more money
when you factor that in, Alabama's quarterback Heisman Trophy winner
made more than the previous quarterback at Alabama, Jalen Hurts
(47:03):
playing in the NFL, So he makes more money at
Alabama than Jalen Hurts does in the NFL. Crazy, But
that's the reality we have right now. And the fact
that it's snuck up on all these chancellors and presidents
and athletic directors is like mind boggling because it was
there to see the final three questions. Okay, talking about quarterbacks,
(47:24):
you mentioned Arch, there's not a lot of not a
lot of Arch not just tape, but not a lot
of Arch data. He's not competing against other quarterbacks at
that high school level. He's not going to camps where
what do you see happening with Arch Manning. Well, that's
a lot of hype. You know, Bryce Harper lived up
to it. Lebron James lived up to it. There there
(47:44):
have been players who live up to the hype, but
as far as an NFL quarterback hype, boy, this is
up there. I mean, this is bigger than Eli or
even Peyton the hype living up to you know, Archie
Manning at Old Us when he was up for the
Heisman Trophy. I just wonder, can you be good enough
(48:05):
where people go? Man, he's everything we thought he was
going to be, Like Tiger Woods was everything we thought
he was going to be, and then some Serena Williams
everything we thought and then some I don't know if Arch,
because it's based off of the people around you. He's
relying on that. Bryce Harper goes to the plate, it's
Bryce Harper. Lebron James can have the ball in his hands.
(48:27):
Tiger has a club in his hand. You know, Serena
has her tennis racket. Arch is gonna have to how
good is his offensive line, how's goods his wide receivers
like those? Is his defense any good to stop anybody?
Those are the things that you have to factor in it.
And I wonder if you'll be able to live up
to that hype. I doubt it because that hype is
so much, so big. You mentioned the word source. How
(48:49):
hard is it to have a source that's telling you
something but you can't say it, and you almost have
to act like you don't know it. For the most part,
I don't want to know if I can't use it.
I say that too, And I'm fortunate having been in
this business for almost forty years. You meet people that
you trust because you can go back to them or
they'll come. They'll they'll let you know if you're right
or wrong on something. But I I don't want to
(49:12):
know something that I can't even hint at because then
I'm not being Then it's gossipy and I don't want
to do that. But it is a tough situation to
be in. Sometimes if somebody goes, hey, you can't use it,
I don't, then don't tell me because I don't want
to know. But when they're like, you didn't get it
from me, which is different, but sources can be tricky.
(49:34):
Last question, and this has really been a treat for me,
way more for so for you. And I'm sure you've
rated this and given it a low grade what you do.
And as soon as you said that, I'm like, god, dang,
And now I am going to actually feel like I
bean critique during the interview. I didn't feel like that
going in. But final question is, uh, you know, I'm
about to go through a big contract negotiation here with
a right so you know, and it's it's it's it's
(49:58):
quite the monster. I'm not gonna lie to you. What's
what's the What am I? What am I not knowing
to ask for? What is it you don't have? I
don't know. I'm pretty good. Yes, I always look at
it this way. I love for fifteen years being at
ESPN and I could have gotten jobs outside of it,
but I loved what I was doing. But you can't
tell them that you love it so much that you
(50:20):
don't factor in what you're worth outside of what you're doing.
If that makes sense that, hey, on the open market,
what would I be worth? Take care of me here?
And I always took less, but I didn't have any
I didn't want to do anything else. So do what
you love. And it's really hard to find that because
if you let money be the carrot that's in front
(50:43):
of you, you'll always chase it and you'll never be satisfied.
But if you have people you like you've got, you know,
they make sure that the people who are surrounding you
are good people, fun people. I love seeing my guys
every single day. We just laugh. I mean, you're serious
when you need to be, but we have fun. I
(51:04):
enjoy them. And it's twenty years for some of these guys.
But I think that's the moment you know that you've
got to kind of go. And if you say to
your wife, what do you think, because sometimes it's my
wife is the smartest person, and you know, you get
somebody on the outside kind of looking at all this
because we get too close to the sun and you
(51:25):
don't want to be icarous here and you know, go
down in flame. So do what you love as long
as you can do it, or you can just take
a shipload of money and then running with it. But yeah,
I was hoping for like airplane. That's I'm just massive fan,
just massive, And thank you for your time and um
you know that's all. And I know you've got a
(51:46):
busy day of head so thank you very much. And
one day, hopefully I hope I can touch you soon.
I would Uh yeah, I hope we crossed paths. Congratulations
on all your success, and I think that it's not
by accident, you know, but I think that that's important
as you move move forward, don't forget the kid from
a small town in Arkansas, because stay in humble, because
(52:08):
this business will bite you in the ass quickly. Thank you, Dan,
have a good day. Thank you, Bobby. Alright, awesome to
have Dan Patrick on you guys. Follow us at twenty
five whistles Instagram. We got like five pictures up. I
hate going to an Instagram page whe they don't have
the even the thing covered, it's still white under some
of the pictures. Yeah, you feel like a loser, Like
(52:29):
who would follow that? And I'm like, please follow us. Uh.
So that's a story I will share with you guys,
and you can tell me if I'm a weirdo or not.
And I want to pull up exactly what I got here.
But there was an estate sale from a former Arkansas
and Adam, you're almost eliminated from this because of your bias.
There was an estate sale from a former Arkansas UH sportscaster,
(52:51):
like probably the most famous in my life. He died
years ago in a car car wreck, as Paul Eels.
He died, and so his I guess why his family
they auctioned off a bunch of his stuff, and so
I just told about it. So I went over to it.
How about all kinds of stuff? Oh my gosh, Mike,
did you just laugh at that? I bought all kinds
(53:16):
of stuff like Paul El's estate sale? Um, what do
you mean? How? I'm like, how much stuff did you buy? Well?
I bought like a couple in the box still Arkansas
razorback cheerleader barbies. Are you serious? Like what are you
gonna do with this? I don't know, but I was
like one it's Paul Els doing I don't know. And
for that, somebody started bidding against me, and so I
(53:37):
started getting competitive bucks on there's two barbies. I'm not
saying Granny and Sheridan is piste. So that happened. I
bought like some old cool Here we go, let's see
what I got here. Please log into your account below.
Hopefully it'll just show me what all I bought and
this will be easy. I bought like some old signs
stuff by nobody that's super cool to any buddy but me. Um, Like,
(54:01):
I bought a Houston Nuts signed football who was fired
as the coach. That was cool. Yeah. I bought some
old sweatshirts. They're like extra two x large. Will you
wear them? Nightgowns? Yeah? There you go. Yeah, so I
bought like seven things. Is it weird that I went
through a Sportscasters estate sale and bought a bunch of
Razorbacks stuff? Kickoff, Kevin, No, I mean some of the
(54:23):
stuff that you bought, for sure, like the Barbie's maybe
a little weird questionable, But going or buying stuff from
the state sale, No, I mean that's something that you,
as you said your childhood growing up. He was a
big impact in your childhood and your big sports fan,
big Arkansas fans, so totally normal. I bought the football
Fever package, a bunch of sign crap. I bought the
forty minutes nineties sweatshirts forty minutes of hell. They were
(54:46):
extra extra large. I'm not gonna wear that. I don't
know what that means. It's fort hell. Nolan Richardson's basketball
they play the full court pressed the whole time. The
whole game, they would just run people off the court.
I bought the two. Yeah, it makes her a good
story if nothing else. He died. I bought it. I
should get it in the next few days, and I
think it's pretty cool. Most importantly, what does your wife
(55:07):
think about all this? And her, well, I didn't tell
her already bought it all and it was already on
the way because I did tell her, But in her
response was why what are you gonna do with it?
And I was like, I just want to have it,
and she was like okay, and so I I had.
And she said, look, if I didn't know you were
(55:28):
so responsible with the money, I would go, why are
you buying that? You just wasted money? She was I
know you're responsible, but I also know you're extra rabbid,
and that's just what I deal with every day. So
I will bring it in and let you guys know.
Imnbe let you touch some of us. Okay, cool, I
want to touch the barbies. One final one here Costco
selling individual game football tickets in South Carolina where you
(55:49):
can go through Costco and they have boxes and it's
like buy individual game tickets, which I was pretty legit
because it's like, hey, buy individual game ticket. Usually you're like,
I don't know if you have a casual fan, I
can get my phone out of there. But if you're
going through their inner package at Costco and you're in
South Carolina and you're like, oh, I like to go
to this game, it's tangible, you can buy it. That's
pretty cool. People were giving a crap, but that was brilliant.
So if you're in South Carolina, would go a game
(56:09):
called game and they may actually be pretty good this year.
We shall see. They played well last year. At the
end of the year, they have a good coach. We'll
Spencer Relligan a really good quarterback. Regardless of what happened,
he's still a really good quarterback. We'll see what happens
in that system. Um So those are those two. We're
gonna get to the Sam Pittman interview. Now, we didn't
(56:30):
talk a lot about Arkansas specifically, but he is the
head football coach the Unversity of Arkansas and it's awesome
to have him on. So here it is my interview
with Sam Pittman, coach. How are you man? I'm doing great. Hey,
I've been good. You know, I've been trying to catch
some practice reports. Like at this point before the season starts,
as you guys are in camp, are you more nervous excited?
Are you always thinking football now? Is there a switch
(56:52):
that flips on? Yeah, I'm really excited about the progress
of guys from spring Bold and out. I'm really excited
to see the new guys, you know, the ones that
weren't here. Uh there's only four of them, but you know,
the guys that weren't here, Uh, see them participate, see
how good they are, see them grow. But yeah, there's
(57:13):
a big time excitement around Fatteville and certainly in our
building and through our players about you know, the season.
I'm not gonna ask you to name anybody, but it's
always coming out of high school into college. Heck, just
as a student, it's overwhelming much less you're seventeen than
you go eighteen years old and now you're you know,
competing for a spot against year old. Any of these
(57:36):
freshmen in your time that come in, they're very had
heralded and they get there and they're like, I don't
know what's happening. Like these guys are all bigger and faster. Yeah,
it happens all the time. But you know, you can
wear yourself out anxiety wise. The first day we went
out to practice, there's a hundred fifteen heatd index. It's
a hot out there. But you you combine that with
(57:57):
a new guy that has an anxiety, Uh, they're all
over the place. The next day it was one twelve
heat into x but they were much better. Uh. You know,
so anxiety that's a little bit Bobby about going over
into the stadium on a Saturday. You're gonna have a
lot of anxiety if you're not prepared or you don't know. Uh.
(58:19):
If you are prepared and you know and and you've
taken the I hope we win to I know we're
gonna win because I'm prepared in this I think you
play a lot better. So these kids that come in,
we didn't put a whole lot of value into day one. Uh,
day two, a little bit more, Day three, and of
course the day will be our fourth practice. If a
(58:39):
hundred four star freshman come in, let's play with me here,
a hundred four star freshman come in, how many of
them will actually have the one be physically and mentally
ready to play game one in our league? Ten? Maybe
you know, maybe maybe fifteen, not not more than that.
I wouldn't think now play play start start play probably
(59:00):
ten play play probably uh you know, some type of
special team or something like that, maybe thirty five or
for in your history of coaching, and it could be
at any level. Can you remember a freshman that came
in and you're like, oh, this guy's immediately ready to play,
and then he immediately played and was awesome. Andrew Thomas.
Andrew Thomas was a tackle out of Georgia who I
(59:24):
knew he was going to start in our top five
fast early. Uh, not necessarily office high school take Bobby,
but when he got to campus. Uh he started at
right tackle, first game of the year, played three years,
fourth pick in the draft. Yeah, that one I that
when I knew what is the coolest thing about being
a d one coach? That a head coach that you
(59:47):
did not know meaning you've coached a lot of places
for a lot of time and done a lot of
great things, but you still didn't know blank whenever you
became the head coach. Verse of parkinsas how awesome going
into the locker room is after you beat somebody that named,
somebody's got a name, somebody's got a good football team.
How many employees that there is in the building. You
(01:00:08):
know that those things were surprising to me, But the
awesome part of it was going in and seeing the
kid's face after you win a big game. It's incredible, priceless,
can put a value on it, It's really cool. So
for me, as I was, you know, rising up whatever ranks,
I started to learn that the higher I got, it
really was I wasn't doing all the little things as much.
(01:00:29):
I was kind of uh doing big things and watching
over people that I trusted to do the little things,
um not less important things, but just more of the things.
Was that an adjustment for you being the head coach
is not being so super involved daily in schemes and
game plans. I trade our coaches exactly like I wanted
(01:00:50):
to be traded as an assistant. You know, I've got
a title. When I was assistant, I wanted to, uh
make sure that I did what I was supposed to do.
I wanted the coach to think I was the best coach,
best recruiter on his staff, most loyal guy. So I
treat those guys like that until you know possible they
give me a reason not to. But I loved my staff.
(01:01:13):
I've got a really good staff. And and I visit
with him. You know, you can really have anxiety over
if somebody doesn't talk to you. You know, well, what's
he think of me? Am I doing a good job.
I let him know. Uh. Visit with the guys all
the time. I want them to be as comfortable as
they possibly can be, because I want them to to
(01:01:35):
coach out of confidence and not out of nervousness, if
that makes sense. When you go into a season like
this season, where you've had two seasons in a row
where you know there's been a different feeling about the team,
obviously you're one, You're the first time head coach, not
a lot of expectation, um and you know It was
(01:01:56):
a weird year anyway with with COVID and last year, Uh,
we overperformed a lot of folks expectation. Now here we are,
we're going to do it again and there are now
real expectations put on you, put on the razorbacks, put
on the state of Arkansas, Like do you still have
to find like dig through and find somebody disrespecting you
to go look at this? They still don't think or
(01:02:16):
do you just reposition on how to motivate these kids? Well,
you know our expectations and I'm not lying here, not
stretching the truth at all. Our expectations have been high
ever since we walked in the building. I mean they
really had and uh so that that's been a big
deal for us. Uh. If I see Bobby, honestly, if
(01:02:39):
I see uh ranking that has us ranked fifteen and
one that has us not ranked, I'm gonna talk to
the team about the not ranked one. I mean, I'm
not I am, I'm I We're underdog, you know, a
blue chip, hard working group of guys, and I want
to I'm gonna find every reason for us to stay
(01:03:00):
that way in the public eye and and until I guess,
until you've got ranked number one. You know, you you
would have that ability to put a chip on the
guy's shoulder, and that's that's I like to do that.
I think that's who we are and we thrive on that.
Has fame been weird for you? Yeah? It really as
I get um um um. A lot of times you
(01:03:25):
may or may not feel the same way. But a
lot of times people come up they want to touch you,
autograph pictures, whatever that is, and I'm almost every time
I'm going, I wonder why they want to do that,
you know, But I also know that when I want
to meet somebody that I I either walk away going, man,
(01:03:46):
that guy's a jerk, or man that he's really what
I thought he would be. And I always wanted to
walk away from me with the feeling that, hey, this
is what who I thought this guy would be. I mean,
in Arkansas, you are wildly famous because the team is
in an upper trajectory and we feel like that's gonna
happen for a long time. Obviously, we love you very much,
um but with that, there is everybody watching you everywhere
(01:04:08):
you go. Now, what's cool about the level of fame
that you have, at least I think is you could
probably go to uh, San Diego and everybody's pretty chill,
and you get to live more of a normal vacation
life because nobody's hassling Coach Pittman from the razorback. Is
that true? Yeah, that's true. I mean, um, here in
the state though, you know, I have a home on
Lake Hamilton's and I can get away somewhat, but not
(01:04:31):
not much. Of course, when we put the hall out
there on the lake kind of told where we lived,
you know. But um, I'm very very grateful for that,
I really am. I never get discouraged or frustrated with
people coming up and saying hello, because I'm very honored
that they want to meet me or be around me
(01:04:52):
or whatever that case. Maybe how often do you eat
then you find out someone's already paid your tab? Man,
It's happened quite a bit, you know, I mean it
really has. And and some people aren't even at the
restaurant that you know, somebody will call us, say, Coach Pittman,
Jamie's here and there. They hadn't even been at the restaurant.
They paid for it, which, by the way, is awesome.
(01:05:15):
Which other head coach in the SEC would you say,
as your your bff. If you had to pick one,
Kirby Kirby Smart, you know, that's that's the guy that
has really taught me a lot when I was there.
He's loyal to me as I am him. But he's
a guy that that would be my my friend, my
(01:05:37):
best friend. In in coaching, is there a text thread
of like the cool SEC coaches and you guys have
leave a couple of guys out. That's what I do.
That's so awesome. Uh you know you probably you know,
hopefully I'm not the one they want to leave out
of it, but uh yeah, that is awesome. There there
are days when you know, if you had that text
fread though, you'd add a guy back into it, take
(01:05:59):
another guy at this guy, take another guy out. But
uh no, there's not one of those. But certainly I
think everybody at some point in time would take a
guy out and leave him out for a while. Is
it true that if your buddies with somebody and I'm
sure you have a lot of let peer coaches in
the SEC, that you guys will not communicate the week
(01:06:19):
over the week before if you're playing each other or
or you find either way, there's a lot of truth
to that. You know, um, you know Meil Tucker was
at at Georgia, Shane was at Georgia. Um, Dan Lanning
was at Georgia. You know, I think if we played,
of course we played, shipped Baemer's team to South Carolina.
But I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference. Uh.
(01:06:41):
You know what, it depends on how close you are.
If you're real close to him, you probably don't mind
talking to him. If you send me close to him
and you probably you probably won't talk to him the
week of the game. Have you ever played Madden? Because
I wonder if you played Madden, and let's say you
didn't actually use the controller, but you just like someone
played for you, but you told him what plays the call,
what defense is to run. Do you think you can
(01:07:02):
watch somebody play Madden and dominate them just based off
of what you do as a head coach? No? I mean, now,
Barry Might and Kendall Might. It's got Fountain Might on
the punt when they need the punt. But I wouldn't
know if it was coaching old line, I'd probably be
okay and all that, but no, I wouldn't be able
to do that. That would be the worst video game ever.
(01:07:24):
Coaching old line. I don't think man's gonna put that in.
It wouldn't sell many, would it. How often are the
state troopers with you when you're traveling around the state.
Is that just game day or is that all the time? Well,
they take me to Catfish Hole on Wednesday nights, and uh,
I don't know why. There's it's not dangerous at the
Catfish Old, I can promise you. Uh, But then there
(01:07:45):
with me on Friday and all through, all through until
we get back home after the game more. Uh, you know,
traveling back on a road game. So I've I've met
your lovely wife a couple of times and yeah, thank you,
and you've met my life and man, you know at yeah,
(01:08:08):
thank you, thank you. I take that as a compliment,
thank you. Yeah, it's okay. Um. So I guess my
with my wife, I am constantly trying to make sure
and I do not do a good job of it
of having balance, meaning I have to remember to try
to folk even though she's so supportive. I have to
(01:08:28):
remember to focus and make sure that I'm not just
using my my opic view of only my life and
my careers when it's football season. Is there a different
understanding in your relationship. Yeah, it has been for thirty
six years. The only thing, Bobby, what I've done for
a long long time is Jamie and I go on
to date night every Thursday during the season, and we
(01:08:50):
kind of look forward to that now because since I've
gotten a head coaching job. Wednesday night is also she
goes with me to the catfish Hole. But third day
night we do something. It may be at home, but
it's it's considered a day night, or maybe we get
a private room somewhere and go go out on Thursday night.
But um, I try to include her and as much
(01:09:13):
as I possibly can because she's so important to me.
But she's also important to how I feel and my
daily you know, the way I walk and talk and
things of that nature. She helps him with all that
has for thirty six years. I hope I'm good at
I'm conscious to be good at that coach. Final four
questions I have here for you, and I'm gonna start
with the n I l um, do you feel like
(01:09:34):
it's advantageous to you that you started to be a
head coach right as this was happening, and you weren't
someone who's been head coaching that had to completely adjust whenever,
like being born at the same time this was born.
Do you feel like that was good for you. I
don't think it hurt me. You know, you know change.
Guys have been doing something and you just said it. Basically,
guys have been doing something for a long time. You know,
(01:09:56):
you either fight change or you go with change and
try to find out how you can make it to
your advantage. I'm a guy that when change happens, I'm
trying to make an advantage out of it and not
be graping about the change. It might be harder if
I was a head coach for twenty years and I
liked what I had, But um, right now, the rules
(01:10:18):
a rule, and then you try to go see how
it can be advantageous to your program. And that's how
I feel about it. Do you feel like players are
acting different because the n I l I think they're
thinking different. Um, I don't know acting, but they are
thinking different because you know, recruiting and also your own team. Uh,
you have a lot more conversations about the name im
(01:10:40):
and lightness than the math class or the you know,
you miss study table, things of that nature. They want
to talk about n I L and I want to
talk about graduation more. Let's talk about parents. Um. And right,
you're talking about graduation. I'm sure that's a big part
in recruiting. We're talking to the parents of the grandparents
or whomever the central figures are. Um. I get a
(01:11:01):
lot of parents that asked me like, Hey, I got
a kid that's really good at football. How do I
get a coach to see a tape if they can't
get to a camp or they can't get to some
of the things like how does someone highlight their kid
if they think their kid is really good? Well, first
of all, I think that's the head coaches job, you know,
their school. Uh. The other thing, there's not a social
(01:11:22):
media how about that that's the answer. Get it out
on Twitter, get it out on the Instagram, TikTok, whatever
it may be. UM. But for right now, with huddle
the way it is and our coaches being able to
go out twice in the spring, Uh, you know, there's
not many unturned stones in recruiting. But how they can
(01:11:44):
do that is if they can't get to camp is
get tape and have have the coach promote them and
have themselves promote them on on Twitter, on on social media. Yeah,
I feel like I was really missed there. I didn't
get to the camps, so I feel like I was
really just kind of pass app and what social media was?
That's right? No, barely my space? You know? Off that alright?
(01:12:05):
Two final questions for you, favorite TV show, movie and
song ever in your whole life? You got movie, TV
show host? Gun would be movie? Uh uh what? What?
What was TV TV show ever? Oh? Man, Gilligan's Island
(01:12:27):
loved Maryann and and uh figured and the Skipper Really
I like Gilligan. I kept thinking he's going to get
off the island too, man. They never did. And then uh,
favorite song I'm gonna go currently, I like country on
Uh Brian by look Brian right now. I mean I
(01:12:50):
like it. It's got a lot of good cool meaning
to it. Hit one ones that hit you in the heart.
I like those kind of songs. All right, last one
for you, coach. I appreciate your time, but my wife
being from Oklahoma, we we just spent the last four
days over in Oklahoma and your Tulsa and um so,
I I never liked the Sooners, but I'm having to
(01:13:11):
adjust to not hating the Sooners, and that is an adjustment. Um.
And so I am actually very excited about them being
in the conference because that's just more games that I
get to go to. So I is when they're probably in?
Do you I'm I'm not going to ask you to
speculate a year or anything, but do you think it'll
be sooner than that? Right now we're told, Bobby they'll
(01:13:33):
come in. Um. Do I think there's a possibility of it? Yes,
I do, UM, But right now I think the SEC
is pretty steadfast at you know, financially. Um. You know
they're gonna be a big pay buy out by Texas
and Oklahoma, and I'm assuming if they're willing to do that,
(01:13:56):
and then it might speed up a little bit. But
right now we're coach, love you good luck. Uh. You know,
this is a national show, so I'm not supposed to
be biased, but I'm the most biased person in my
whole life. I've at Arkansas helmet on my desk here.
I mean that's on camera. So uh, let's get them.
I'll see you soon, and thanks for your time, Coach.
(01:14:17):
Appreciate the interview. Bobby, Thanks for your time. Go off
all right, ending thoughts everybody has one sports take. I
don't care how trivial it is. This is your chance
to say your opinion and funny, predictive, serious, doesn't have
to be long. Um, we'll start with Adam Hambroke, Adam
(01:14:37):
the new guy here to the room. What is your
ending thoughts? Oh? Man, it lots being made on this
coaches poll right now, and h is the SEC having
a down year? I'm gonna go with no, Why what's
being made to the coaches pool? Uh? There's only five
SEC teams ranked in the coaches poll, and I think
that's you know, that's an opportunity for a lot of
conferences say the SEC is not as good either, They're
(01:14:59):
not gonna be as good. Um. A couple first year
head coaches and all that stuff. Um, but what I
think people are missing is like there might be a
first year head coach at Florida, Um, but Florida is
still Florida is still gonna be loaded with talent. Uh.
Tennessee has a has a fantastic quarterback, hen and Hooker,
UM and L s U like L s US have
Brian Kelly, and they all they always have talent. They
(01:15:21):
probably will Saven went six and six this first year.
Ryan Kelly is a great coach. This year, they'll suck,
but but there's still when you have athletes on the field,
like you never know what's gonna happen in a given
a weekend. I think they're all those question marks, and
there's still all the talent L s u A in
Florida and these other teams that aren't in the poll, Like,
there's still gonna be opportunity for a lot of chaos
and a lot of like, uh, you know, these teams
(01:15:43):
are still gonna have high ceilings that maybe they could
maybe they could reach, but they're also be probably inconsistent
all that stuff. But I think everything outside of Alabama
and Georgia, obviously, everything is gonna be competitive every week
and it's gonna be a really fun year to watch.
And then you have teams like my Razor Backs coming on. Uh,
they're gonna be tough, hard nosed, blue collar kind of teams.
(01:16:04):
You got old miss Who's gonna they're gonna win football games.
Kentucky's gonna win football games in South Carolina coming on,
all that way below Alabama and Georgia all the way
down to maybe Vanderbilt in the Missouri. That middle is
gonna be a really tough, tough road to home this year.
I think it's gonna be as tough as it always is.
So no, I don't think it's gonna be down here
in the SEC. I think Kentucky can beat Georgia. I
think they. I think they can. I don't think they wouldn't,
(01:16:26):
But I think Kentucky can beat Georgia. I think Tennessee
could possibly if the whole freaking world turns exactly right,
they'd have a shot at it. But I think that's
a bit of an unfair headline. When I saw an
article too, like I see down only five teams like
teamine all I SEC teams like a moote votes getting
um so uh and Christmas comes slow for kids, water
(01:16:49):
is wet, and the SEC is overrated. That no, no, no, no, no,
what what universal truths? If people say yeah, yes, not uh,
let's go to Eddie, give me your ending thought or
you're not gonna like this. And especially since two people
picked the Bucks to win the whole thing this year,
look the Bucks. This is and I'm not being funny.
(01:17:10):
The Bucks will start this season oh and four and
it's gonna shock the world, there's oh my gosh, Tom Brady.
The first four games, their first four games to start
with the Cowboys. That's that's the lost is an automatical
and a shocker. They're gonna play the Saints. They're gonna
lose that one too, and then they go. I think
they have a better shot to lose that one though
than the first. I think because the Saints have owned
(01:17:31):
them the last couple of years. Too stupid, you don't
blow it all stupid takes go ahead, and then week
three they play the Packers, will lose that week before
they play the Chiefs. I'm telling you, Owen four, their
first win will be against the Falcons, and it's gonna
have the NFL going, oh my gosh, what's going on
with Tom Brady? This is crazy. I can see one
(01:17:51):
in three probably probably if you're asking me too into.
I think Green Bay is gonna be interesting to Seaffle Zards,
the number one righte receiver that they hope he is.
I think to see who the I in Kansas City is.
It's gonna catch balls on the outside from the homes
is gonna be fine, somebody. It's gonna be somebody. My
homes is too good. For there not to be somebody.
It's like when Peyton Manning, it didn't matter who. It
didn't matter if it was Eric Decker, it didn't matter.
(01:18:12):
Peyton Manning made somebody a fantasy star because he just
had some UM. So that would be interesting. But I
think they could be two and two or three and one. Yeah,
I mean, I like how you're certain that they will.
I'm not starting anything something. Uh, let's go to kick off, Kevin,
your final ending thought, kickoff, Kevin. Alright. Clemson had what
(01:18:33):
people called a down year last year. They still went
ten and three. UM quarterback DJ Lui Ngo Lele. I'm
pretty sure I said that right, and you killed that.
That wasn't bad. Yeah, and uh, he was one of
the favorites coming in to win the Heisman. He had
a down year as well. I think had ten interceptions
and only nine touchdowns. But I think they bounced back
this year because a CC is getting pretty weak, especially
with Sam Hartman out for wake four is and I
(01:18:55):
say he is the best sleeper bet for your money.
He's at plus forty five hundred right now, so if
you put your mind. I actually put twenty bucks on
them this morning, that'll pay me nine hundred if you win,
so do it for me. That's interesting about Clemson because yes,
everybody says they had a bad year down here, but
they lost them early, but they were over in everybody's mind.
(01:19:15):
They really played well for most of the year after that,
they did have a down year Clemson standards. Also, they're
not gonna they don't mess with the n I l
Really that's a weird thing. They're not big. They don't
do it at all. Yeah, they're just like they're probably
who knows, but I think I think that's actually a
(01:19:36):
great pick on that. Plus yeah, I mean it's I mean,
he's rich. Most tattoos, somebody, Mike, what you got final one?
I think the fate of the Razorbacks depends on what
you do with the stuff you got from the Estates Thill,
meaning that if you take it and actually do something
(01:20:00):
with it, they'll be great. If not, it's gonna be
a bad season. They're all gonna sit in your room.
Right What about to do? Why did you buy it?
I'm not gonna do anything with it. I don't anybody
else to have it. I wanted to. I wanted to
be taken care of very much, so all right, uh,
and then my final take is going to be I
think that if Old Miss finish his second in the West,
(01:20:23):
and I hate to say that, I think Lane Kiffin
is a real candidate for Coach of the Year because
the media loves them, and if Old Miss can be
competitive with Alabama, I don't think they'll win the West.
But if Old Miss, I think Lane Kiffin has a
real shot because of their fat infatuation with him, and
he's on TikTok. Now he's kind of killing on TikTok
a little bit, he is. I think that all kind
of plays into it. I think Lane Kiffin doesn't happen
(01:20:45):
with the national championship, but if he can win ten games,
he could be the coach of the Year this year. Um,
So we're gonna end this show. But before we do
the whistle we I wanted to end on Skinnered simple Man,
just because I like that intro. We can't because licensing issues.
But like kind of version called what Mike complicated dude.
It sounds kind of like it but not really, but
(01:21:05):
we have access to it, you know, it sounds like
complicated dude. Okay, here we go. This is what When
I do my final thing here. Mike's gonna play complicated
dude from now on. Go ahead, it does sound good. Yeah, yeah, hey, thanks,
it's our first episode. The credits will come up in
a second, and usually I'll do my ending thought over this,
but I and now I get to choose we had
the best show, the first first day, best show, and
(01:21:26):
they get to blow the whistle, and that'll be the
first whistle out. Um, Mike didn't have a mascot. Is
a tough game to play. So he's doing a stretch,
so he's out. Uh, Kevin, solid job today. You still
