Dan Bayer alongside NBA trade deadline is well now.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Right, yes it is just pasted, Doug seals could still
be done done.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, no, no trades. So okay, do you want to
get me the rundown on who's been traded?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Can we do? The guys that matter? If you don't
get mentioned, they don't matter, Like I think that Mark
Williams getting trade to the Lakers does matter because it's
one of those, Hey, you trade for Luca, you have,
you know, three high level scores in Reeves, Luka, Doncik,
and Lebron James. But Luca's a traffic cone. Reeves is
(01:23):
slightly better and Lebron is hit or missed defensively. Now
they got somebody to protect the rim. That does make sense, right,
all makes sense. Gives you a rim threat, a lob threat,
and a shot blocker. Obviously, I think that the move
the Bucks made. I don't know if Kyle Kuzma solves
their issues, but he's an upgrade. He's an upgrade over
(01:47):
a former star that they trade, Chris Middleton, who's kind
of aged out a little bit. So I think they
got better. Dallas obviously looking far different with Anthony Davis.
Have yet to see him in a Mavericks uniform. Dearon
Fox leaving the Sacramento Kings. I don't know if that
makes them. I don't think that makes them immediately viable,
but it's definitely a step in that direction where San
(02:09):
Antonio you feel like, hey, they're probably a season away
from being in mentioned in contention, the Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler. Guy.
Is that the type of push that gets them back
to competing among the league's elite, and Kevin Durant isn't traded,
which means the Phoenix Suns continue to be kind of
(02:30):
a bit of a dumpster fire. Right feels like it
sure Knicks don't make a move this year. They made
their moves in the offseason. Celtics don't make a move.
They continue to push along. Calves don't really make a move.
And they're a team that's been the hottest team in
the East for most of the season. And that's really
the players. I'm missing anybody that matters.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I think there are two deals of substance.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Clippers are getting Bogdan Bogdanovitch from the Atlanta Hawks and
three second round picks they sent Terrence Man and Bones
Highland to in return. The Hawks also traded DeAndre Hunter
to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Karris lt, George Niang and
some draft picks Hawks and everybody. They traded Cody Zeller
to the Rockets as well.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, it feels like the Hawks are about to hit
reset in the offseason. Yes, because they've last two off seasons,
there's been the potential threat of trading Trey Young. It
hasn't happened. But when you start to move every one
of the deck chairs around, you change coaches, you change
general managers, when you change everything, and the only thing
(03:33):
that hasn't changed is Trey Young. And he's incredibly productive,
but you're not winning anymore, Matt. In fact, you're winning
a little bit less. Then that feels like sort of
an inevitability that eventually he's moved to kind of hit reset.
Is that fair?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I think so, But there could also be the equation,
And I think you're probably right of we tried this
with Trey Young. We put all these pieces around him,
and guess what, none of it worked. So let's try
to go a different route. But I don't know if
you have enough time to do that. So I think
that's why I leaned towards your thinking of it. They
(04:09):
made it to an Eastern Conference finals in twenty twenty one.
It's as far as they got, and that was honestly,
that was probably their ceiling anyway, for even them to
get that far.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Toga, I think I think they that's happened in what's
happened in the NFL, Like right now, if you're the
commanders and you went to the NFC championship game. You
were not the second best team in the NFC.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
You were not.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The Lions were the best team in the NFC. They
played poorly and they got beat. Now they're gonna have
to figure out new coordinators and losing some guys and
rebuilding that defense. Okay, but if the Redskins think they're
a player or two away, they're kidding themselves. I don't
think they think that.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, right, they calling them the Commanders now, Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm sorry, I kept saying redid good. Part of that
was our conversation yesterday with Rivera, with Ron Rivera, who
was basically said, like, I wish they kept as the Redskins.
They did lots of studies. They should have kept as
the redis Anyway, let me congratulate the NBA.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
All right, twofold.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
This NBA season has been the boringest season on record? Right,
can you remember one basketball moment that you cared at
all about outside of why are they playing Bronnie James
in the NBA? Like literally, that's the only thing that
has drawn any sort of attention ever ever, Like, and
(05:29):
I understand, Hey, you're a college basketball coach. I watch
a lot more college basketball, a lot more film. So
maybe my mind is not on the NBA, but like, look,
I went to a Bucks game. I really enjoyed the experience.
I follow NBA teams. I have friends and coaches who
I call on in the NBA for advice and thoughts
and evaluations of some of the players we have. Some
(05:51):
of the players are going after some of the players
were playing against. All that said is I'm a basketball guy,
and I'm telling you I couldn't be less interested in
the snows fest that has been the first half of
the NBA season. And it's super weak. And the NFL
kicked the NBA's ass on Christmas Day. And you know
what the NBA did. The NBA said double birds. I'm
(06:12):
not giving double birds because we're on the YouTube. They
did double birds. And they moved the trade deadline to
Super Bowl Week. That's a bold move that I don't
know when they did it. Do you know when they
did it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's been a couple of years, because I've had deja
vu sitting on the stage with you telling you the
trades that it went down. Really, yes, it is. It
has been a couple of years. But what I think
it was was the NFL had to expand their season.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So then it ended up falling in the trade deadline area.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, whatever they did, you know, you give me Luca's
been traded, Jimmy Butler's been traded, Anthony Davis has been traded,
Daron Fox has been traded, Kevin Rant has been flirted
with but not traded, and anybody else, any other stars
I'm thinking about being moved, right, But.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, I think I think that that covers it.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right on Super Week and you have let's just be honest,
the boring is super Bowl week you can think of,
right boring?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, Well, it's it's not driving. It's not driving. The
matchup is not driving the interest.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It's not just not It's not not just the matchup.
It's I do think I have I didn't go to
Bourbon Street, an you guys goning to Bourbon Street? Did
anybody go?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Not yet?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, And it's one of those things.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We had this discussion at dinner last night, which is like,
do I think people are gonna have a good time
Saturday night? Sure? Do I think it'll be the same
level of uh? Is it revelry? Revelry? I think it's
with a V, isn't it? Yes, revelry will it's to
be the same level of revelry that it would have
been before that awful terrorist attack a couple of weeks ago.
(07:55):
Now it's not gonna be the same. It's impossible for
you to feel the same about this city considering what
just happened, because we're all like sort of reasonable people.
I feel like College also is a little less reasonable,
you know. But you know it's right before the Sugar Bowl,
right before the National semi finals, and you know there's
import to you is like should I be having a
(08:17):
great time when they, like just a couple of weeks ago,
there are bodies laying in the street. It feels weird anyway,
point is we're in this kind of weird place at
the Super Bowl. Weather's great teams are really good. Like
the one thing you can't argue with. You may be
bored by it, but the Eagles have been good for
a couple years. They have a great roster, and you
can't argue with Kansas City Andrey Reads. But also they
(08:39):
have arguably the greatest quarterback to ever play. So it's
not for lack of great teams. These are great teams.
It's just nobody's gonna say anything interesting anymore because they're
all worried about pushback. Neither team has sort of interesting
new storylines that we can think of that really make
you make you want to watch the game. And I
(09:02):
don't know, it's kind of a blah week. And here
the NBA comes in and says, I got your block
week right there for you.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I would also say, what is interesting is one of
the bigger stories that I do think could have taken
place this week was Miles Garrett and his trade demand
from the Browns. And Miles Garrett was making the rounds
at certain spots here on Radio Row, and it almost
seemed as if not that it was part of the
pitch that he was pitching, but he was asked about
(09:31):
certain teams and the Commanders I know, were one of
the teams that he was asked about. And who's gonna
say no on when you're talking about like a command
would you like to go to the Commanders? Yeah, they
got a really good team over there. And then that
makes a headline, But that isn't that almost seems manufactured
in a way of I think an actual I think he.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Got overshadowed by Luca, like you got a guy who's
a very very good player. Miles Garrett's is a very
good player demanding a trade which may or Manhattan happened,
it's not gonna happen this week. Versus a guy who's
arguably the best player in the NBA, who just went
to the NBA Finals in a completely surprised move, being
(10:12):
traded in the exact same timeline that he said that.
Miles Scatt said he wanted to be traded, So I
think that he frankly got lucid. He could be he
got lucid. Thanks for listening to The Doug Gottlieb Show podcast.

announced as accepted a job at his alma monitor Cal.
Essentially the we'll get to the actual term of it,
because again at Cal, it's never as easy as just
let's just call them the gentle manager. They had to
come up with a bunch of different stuff. But basically
he's going to kind of oversee parts of the football program,
(10:55):
a position that many in the college game have now accepted.
Ron Rivera is our guest here on the Doug Oatleab Show. Coach.
How are you.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I'm doing well, Doug, I really am.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
How are you good? So tell me about the position
of Cal right.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Well, what we're trying to do is is and we're
still working on the details of it, as you said,
but it really is somebody that's going to work with
a football program. But it's going to work on every
facet as much as we can. Working with the coaching staff,
trying to help the head coach, trying to help the
head coach get resources, trying to help coach get players,
work with the university intercollegiate department, trying to help fundraising,
(11:27):
help the university fundraise itself. So there's going to be
a little bit more to it, I believe. I'm really
excited about had an opportunity to talk with the chancellor
about this. It's a neat opportunity, it's a unique opportunity,
and I'm excited because it's an opportunity for me to
give back to the university as a whole.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, it's and Cal obviously a great place. Number one
public institution in America and a place I know that
there's something different when it's your school. You know when
it when's your school. There's some you've coached in this game.
When you coach in this game, you had an incredible defense.
But so the dever Broncos, Yes, right, they just and
(12:04):
you just couldn't crack that code. If you could go
back and change one thing about your prep, what would it.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Be, you know, in all honesty, to me, it really
wasn't about the prep more than it was about the circumstances.
There was one play I think that really kind of
defined it, and it was the first time we had
the balls in offense and there was a pass play
that in today's game, it's one of those things that
it could have gone either direction, and because of certain elements,
(12:32):
it was called against us. And that one play I
really do think was a little bit of the difference.
It was something that put us behind. No, No, it
was it was the pass completion incompletion. Cam had thrown
a ball that was right there on the cusp of
whether it was complete or not. It was ruled initially
a completion, then it was overruled as an incompletion, So
(12:52):
that was challenge, and the challenge.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Was, well, not enough evidence to change it back?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Well, okay, if there's not enough to change the fact,
and why was it gone from completion and incompletion you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
So it's one of those things you could argue and
it's a little bit of sour grapes on my apartment.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No, No, the reality of it, I know, but that's.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
The truth because from my perspective, and then I promise
you from their perspective. But at the end of the day,
when those things happen, those things do make impacts, They
do change certain things, and that was one of the
things that was an impactful play.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
There's there's no question. I mean, like, look, I'm coaching
in college basketball. We're on a losing streak. It's not great,
and I can point to in so many of these games,
one play, one call where if it goes a different way,
I don't know that the outcome is gonna be different,
but there's a great chance, right. Momentum is a real thing,
and it also kind of screws up. You know, you
(13:41):
have your scripted plays, and when one doesn't go your
way suddenly. Now, okay, what do we do? What do
we do with the with the with the script? Is
it better to have it's the old? Is it better
to have loved and lost than never loved it all?
Like having gone to the super Bowl but not wonted?
Is that better than not having gone to the super Bowl?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
I agree, it doesn't matter going to the super Bowls
and experience in itself, Okay, And only so many people
can say I've been to a super Bowl. Only so
many people can say I've won a super Bowl. I'm
fortunately I can say I have one one and I've lost.
I've lost two.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
But I've been there, and it's an amazing experience. It
really is.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
It's everything that we work for as players and as coaches.
I mean, when you get there, you're at the peak. Okay,
you're at the top. But to stand on the very pinnacle,
you've got to win it. So I've been there and
and and I've done both and and to me, it's
the reason why if you get into this game for
any other reason than going and winning the super Bowl,
(14:39):
then you shouldn't be in this league.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I mean, okay, so I got to ask you, Cam Newton,
just said, I know, I know. He just said, I know.
You know if you give back your MVP to win
a Super Bowl. He's like, nah, you know, I can,
I can?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I can?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I can? I get can. I take a guess you're
thinking to yourself, but you can't say, welcome to my world.
This was what I was managing.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Well, the thing about Camp Towo, and let's don't forget
he's been to the peak and the pinnacle of college football.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
He's won the Heisman and he won a national championship.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I get it. But we're talking about the NFL.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
I know.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
In the NFL he's won the MVP. He hasn't on that,
So and tell you you don't know what it's about.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
That's what all said that. That's what I said.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's fair.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I'll be politically correct.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Okay. The other part that's interesting is you were known
and it was really I felt like that season and
maybe a little bit later you got the nickname of
riverboat Run. But the Riverboat Run at first, and again,
tell me if I'm wrong, you're fair, was because you
were generally conservative in nature, right, you were? You were
a punt anytime on fourth down, guy. You were very,
very conservative, defensive minded, and by the way, that team
(15:46):
was one of the best defenses. It probably doesn't get
credit right Sean McDermott built it for you. That was
a great defense. But you were conservative, and then all
of a sudden you started going for it a little
bit and you got the kind of almost sarcastic nickname
with you then embrased.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Yeah, it's a tremendous story.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Really, what happened was after my first two seasons in
the NFL as a head coach, I had this three
and thirteen record of losing games by seven points or less.
And after each year I would sit down with the
previous owner, Jerry Richards, and we would go through the
year and talk about different things. When we finish up
our discussion, I turned him.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I says, you know, I need a mentor. I need
somebody to talk.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
With and understand some things and helped me through some situations.
He kind of chuckles a little bit and he goes,
I want you to look at this, and he slides
this piece of paper across to me and on the
piece of paper John Madden and his phone number. He goes,
you and I are on the same page. I want
you to call coach. He's expecting your call. I've already
talked to him about you talking to him.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Wow, So I get done. The first thing I did.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
I called him right away. We had this great twenty
minute conversation. He says, Hey, come on out to Pleasanton, California.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Come to my office. Let's sit down, let's talk football.
So I do.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I make this plan. I fly out there. We sit down,
we start talking. Previously that he told me, go back,
look at those games that you lost, those thirteen games,
and see if there's something you could have done differently. Well,
in my mind it's like, hey, do a report. So
I go back. I watched those thirteen games. I write
these notes up, I do this, I type it all up.
I make this twenty page report from my fly out there,
(17:12):
fled to California to Red Bear Ventures, go to his office.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
We sit down.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
We start talking and say, oh, here I brought this report.
You wanted me to do what report? I said, well,
talking about the thirteen games I had lost. He looks
at me and goes, that's not for me, that's for you.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
What did you learn?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I said, Well, like this one here. I punted.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
When I think we had an opportunity to possibly go
for it. And then on this one I took the
field goal to go up by six, and then they
score a touchdown and beat us by by one. He said, yeah,
and each one is what could you have done? I said, well,
I could have probably gone for it. He said, exactly,
if Ron, you're being conservative for what reason? I said,
I'm going by the book. He said, what book? There
is no book. And it made me realize when he
(17:53):
said that what I was doing was what was conservative,
what was safe. I wouldn't get criticized if it went
the other way, and made me realize that.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Shoot.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
So fast forward. Now we're in twenty thirteen. We're playing
a game. We're playing the Giants at home. We get
our first drive, it's fourth.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Down at midfield.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I go for it.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
We get the first down. We continue on the drive,
get to the goal line. It's fourth in the.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Goal, go for it, punch it in for a touchdown.
We score again. We scored. We beat him pretty good.
We shut him. I think we want like thirty three
to nothing or something like that. The next week, I
do it in Minnesota. First series of go forward to
fourth down, we get it, get down to the goal
line fourth and three. We ran a shovel pass touchdown,
so we win the game. After the game, somebody in
(18:37):
the media is interviewing fans.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Hey, what do you think. Oh, it's great, coach being aggressively.
I great. Get to this one, gentleman.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
So what did you think of Coach Vera going for
at the fourth down? He goes, well, I'll tell you what. Oh,
Coach Rivera out there like a riverboat gambler, that old
riverboat ron.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Now you're splitting aces at the casino. I know your
dad was in the Army. He was a nom as well. Yes,
is that what drew you to USAA.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yes, the fact that my dad served thirty two years
the United States Army, traveling all over the world with him.
You know, we'd gone to Germany, we'd gone to Panamon,
we were all over the United States. Our home base
was Ford or California. And so being part of a
military family and understanding exactly what that commitment of sacrifice
is drove me to want to support the military every
opportunity I got. Well, then I get a little bit
(19:19):
of a platform because the usaas salute the service. So
from there we do many things that we can show
our support. And the great part was USA was behind
us the whole way. So fast forward a couple of years,
I get an opportunity I win the USA Salute the
Service Award. Very proud moment for me, but a great
moment for my dad. I mean, he was very proud
of the whole award and so I've joined with them
(19:40):
the last few years in support of it. And the
real neat thing is this year as a winner is
George Kittle from the forty nine Ers, a guy that
does the same thing. He supports so many different efforts throughout,
but he also supports the military in a big way,
and USA has recognized him as this year's Salute the
Service Award winner.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Well, Coach Rivera, I'm sure Cal is so proud to
have you back all the things you stay for as well.
But he was asking, well, you're the one that suggested
the commanders.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
The command No, are you kidding? I mean, if I could,
I would, if I would have stuck with with with
the original name. I grew up a fan.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Yes, I believed in it, and and I I know
it's hard for people to understand, but you know, to me,
it's it's it's.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
A traditional thing.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
And and and we're not going to name our sports
teams after derogatory name.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Sure, and that's that was always kind of my stance.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
But I understood the social issue, the social pressures, which
were very, very unfair. I think the thing that people
have to understand too as well is that you know
when when when you do things and you make decisions,
especially a decision like that, you have to go out
and you've got to really research it.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Well.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
There was a tremendous amount of research done.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I mean, they they they brought in former players, you know,
they brought in fans, they brought in focus groups, and
they they put all these.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Names out to it. And that's how it was decided.
It wasn't decided by me. It was decided by focus groups,
alumni and fans.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Though I remember that there was a video where they
like blurred out your lips, so it was like Jason
Wright showed it to you, I think, a bunch of
different nicknames.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
And then the truth matter is at that point what
was decided was because this is the nation's capital, because
of where we were. Okay, a name befitting leadership was
probably what we were looking for because this is the
nation's capital. So this is this is the base of
all the power in the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's worth now.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Yeah, it's weird, it really is.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It is well, coach, listen, enjoy back in Berkeley. More
things changed when they stay the same there it's still
berserkly And thanks so much for being our guests.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Now, I appreciate the advice you gave me to Doug,
I really do. I know you've been through it as
a coach and understanding what's been going on.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
In the in the NCAA.
Speaker 1 (21:51):

(22:27):
these wings as if have you guys not eaten today?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Or do you guys have to eat at like every stop?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Nope, haven't eat at all?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You haven't.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
So these are these are perfect?
Speaker 7 (22:36):
So have you hear some Mesmr? Yeah, this is why
you know what's you know?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
It's you know, it's weird.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
So I was, I was a big twelve guy. I
play basketball Oklhoma State and it was cute. You'ren't even
be twelve anymore, so you had word. So but like
it's really the last twenty five years that wings have
been this big a thing. Really, yes, like we used
to like when you go watch the game back in
(23:02):
the day, I think sliders, hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Pizza, pizza.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
The wing thing was like right when I was coming
out of college. It became big. But but uh, I
got I got a bunch of stuff to ask you
Bejon Tyler. Let's let's Bjon. Let let's start with, uh,
do you did you get to keep the Lamborghini?
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Yeah, but it's still back in the Austin Though your
name is your name on the title, the name's not
on the title. But it's like every time I go,
they're like, here, this is yours. Man, Yeah, it's something
like that.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh yeah, Tyler, you do do you is that? Does
that mean it's his car? That does not mean it's
his car?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Right, it doesn't mean it's his car.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
And there's and there's the and there's a company car
too for the for the Mustard. So there's a yellow
Lamborghini that's the Mustards.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah. The only okay, the only other part too, it
is you can't really be inconspicuous rolling back to Austin
if you're driving a Lambo, right, yeah, literally, everyone will
know you're here.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
They will.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Yeah, it's and then on top of that, like it's
not really tinted too much. Yeah they have darker windows,
but it's not really tinted, so like they're gonna just
look and be like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I mean listen, I mean who am I. I haven't
driven a Lamborghini, so I don't know what that is, Okay,
Tyler N. The nicest car you've ever driven got to be.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
BMW BMW No do you.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Uh like the Q Wagon? Not the boxing one?
Speaker 7 (24:41):
We haven't touched.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
So what what is the Lamb like to drive?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
What do you drive? Huh?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I have a I have a one of those hummervs.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Okay, yeah, I mean it's it's really just driving like
kind of anything. It's just it's not like driving anything outside,
so like just how you drive it.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
But like I understand, it's gonna steering wheel and it.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Takes off very fast, so you gotta you gotta gradually
get into it.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
You can't just put your foot on the gas because it'll.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Yank you, and you gotta like you kind of kind
of momentum yourself into it. And then when it slows down,
it breaks hard. So you need to you need to
like very gently put your put your foot on the
on the break because if not, it'll it'll make you fly.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Everybody in there fly. But it's it's a very explosive car.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I'll take you that, Tyler Jeer and be shonn Robinson
joining us here, Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Tray joining
us on half of Bounty. That's why they're eating wings
because you can't have football without wings. You can't have wings.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Without Bounty without.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
It's like this wing man right here, like this is
my wing man.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Hey always, I know he's I know he's your wing man.
But like the bounty thing, you guys also can't get
anything on those bounty jackets. No, you have the like
as much as you have the paper towels. You can't
get anything on the jacket. That's an art tiler. You
did very well consider how hungry you were not get
anything on it.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Man, I'm keeping the jacket. Actually think that I do too.
I'm rocking this.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
How would you characterize your year?
Speaker 7 (26:05):
I thought it was really good, that it was really good.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I think I think, uh, wait, as personally or as
a team.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Either it's it's what's got an opening of neutral question.
You're taking whichever way you want, bro.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Let's go. Uh, let's go.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
As the team, I felt like we were really close.
We were really close, and then but shoo were we
were better than the past three years. So I think
that's a that's a great improvement. But this time we
just need to work on just being want to know
every week and then I think they'll get us to
what are what the end goal is?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Did you know that Kirk was hurt? Because Kirk came
out and was like, no, it's hurt, that's what happened.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
No, Man, I didn't I mean, the thing with Kirk
is like he's a he's a super tough dude, so
you know, I had no idea so he did. He
just let it ride, let it rock out, and you
know we thought we were good with it too. But
you know, obviously you don't know what's going on internally
with the player. Uh But I mean he said it yesterday,
but hey, I mean it's football.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
You gotta be tough.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
You can't really when Pennix came in for a bunch
of young dudes, what's that like to have that energy
come into your locker room?
Speaker 7 (27:03):
I feel like, uh, I thought that was pretty good.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
I felt like he already prepared himself to be a
starter right when he came in. So I think having
Kirk has a great veteran to look to take him
under his wing, and then whenever, whenever his time came,
he ended up just flourishing.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
So I think, uh, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
People have talked about the ball that Pennix throws, Yeah,
describe it as somebody who has to catch it.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
I mean I like catching it honestly because I'm a
lefty too, so you know, I'm kind of used to
like those lefty.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Spins but so it spins different.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah, it spins different. It does.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
It's I mean a spind like the spindle of the
football is the same thing, and it's just the other way.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
You still got to catch it.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
But I mean he throws it, he gets it to
where it needs to be, Like he gets it in
the pocket.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
Oh my god, god, you got you got you got you,
But he does jib out.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Robinson joined his Stut Gottley show Fox Sports Radio a
year and a half ago. Before the season, there was
a lot of talk about running backs getting contract, to
getting that big second contract, right, yeah, and all these
guys switch places and then they all have great years.
What's that feel like to be a young running back
and see that happen?
Speaker 8 (28:21):
I mean it's it's great, man, like just seeing you know.
It was what three years ago when when this whole
talk started of like should you pay running back?
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Should do running backs matter? All that, blah blah.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
I mean it was all like just you know, opinions, honestly,
but you know, to see where it's at now and
to see how much it's grown, and now you can
now we now teams have two running backs? Are that
are you know playing at super high levels and that
that are effective no matter what where the game is
or no matter what situation it is, like you have,
I mean for us, like we obviously we have Tyler
(28:53):
and myself, and you know we're just doing things that
you know used to be like one guy can do
now two guys can do it as well.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
And I mean, this running back is.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Growing, this position is going crazy, and I think there's
a lot of great guys in it and obviously like
it's only going to continue to grow from from years on.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Tyler.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I have a I have a theory Saquon Barkley is
actually an X Men. Like jumping over dudes backwards in
a game the NFL is not something that normal human
beings can do. So do you think he's really a mutant?
Speaker 7 (29:26):
I would say so, yeah, he's insane.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That like if Congress, if Congress ever has those like uh,
those mutant trials like they have in the X Men movies,
like I would expect him to be called before Congress.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
That dude definitely has the play of the year that
was insane.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Insane because it's not like he got stopped right there
now still he's still getting an extra comes.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Off fun jumped backwards and still got yards.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I was like, all right, and that's that's post knee injury.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, crazy, Yeah, to that point, we all all over
that move as running backs. What do you you guys
appreciate like when you see somebody that thug or I
wouldn't see like that, You're like all right there and
we wouldn't know, but you know, to be a good
eye what what.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
What you know? Snaps with you guys in that way. Shoot.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Well, first of all, I mean, obviously you can't discredit
Saquon's abilities and his guy giving abilities and his talent
and what he does. But I mean, this man has
an incredible O line too, Like man, them dudes like
create the most insane Yeah, and I mean obviously you
can see what happens in one year last year for him,
(30:35):
and then fast forward to this year and it's completely different.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
So that's why I appreciate.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Our O line and what, you know, what they've done
for us, because I think it's really important to have
a good O line to want to be successful and
to want to run how you want to run, and
have those kind of spaces and things like that to
use your gifts. But yeah, man, I mean he's he's changing,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I'm gonna pause beforehand. But you have a little whole envy.
That's what I'm like that Tyler Isaiah Pacheco. On the
other side, that guy, he runs like you're holding down
the turbo button like bro, slow down. But Brown, that's
a that's a very unique running style. Yeah. Yeah, I'd
(31:17):
never say anything like it.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
How does he do that?
Speaker 9 (31:23):
I couldn't tell you because he the way the way
he just gets out, but like it's just automatically yes, out, yes,
So like it's.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Just a sprinter out of the out of the block
as soon as he gets as soon.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
As he gets the ball. Yeah, no, it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
I think that's a cool way to run, Like even
though they even put his running style on Madden, which
is which is wild. Actually yeah, like he's Davy running
like himself and Madden. But I think like it's good.
It's good for him because he can still control his body.
He can still control himself because obviously when you see
him running, think he's way out of control. But no, man,
he's still be making cuts he said, were making people miss.
(31:55):
So that's that's pretty cool to you.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I just say we learned that he plays as somebody
other than himself, and Matt, that's yes, that's I do.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
Aren't you aren't you in eighty seven? Ninety?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Yeah, ninety It's kind of cool?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
That is that is it is?
Speaker 7 (32:08):
That is that that is kind of wait wait to
check me, Brenn.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Tyler, real quick, all right? Your wings of like you're
gonna order wings more than ship bowl? What's the wing order?
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Gotta go twenty twenty piece twenty piece lemon.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Pepper traditional traditional or boneless traditional good?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
From where?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
From where?
Speaker 4 (32:31):

I'm gonna go because this is for more than myself.
So I'm probably gonna go like fifty yes, okay, and
I'm gonna go half lemon pepper, half buffalo, and I'm
getting an insane amount of celery from wingstop.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Uh blue cheese or rach.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Ranch ranch good good call, whoever says ches.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Just I can't. I can't do the blue chees, Ye you,
I cannot do the boe che Hey man, congrats on
a great year of fellas. I appreciate it. You can't
do football without wings, and you can't do wings there.
You go make sure you guys don't get any spots
on those dose jackets.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Gotta keep him green vintage.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Next year. You got to bring the jackets for the host.
That's what you got it. You got to bring the
jackets on the host. Uh real quick. Yes, I don't
think he owns the Lamborghini just because he can drive
the Lamborghini. Oh no, No. The only thing now, the
only thing is he doesn't have to If he doesn't
own it, he doesn't have to insure it. So there
is a bonus today. There is a benefit of that.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
That's that's a that's a Austin education right there. That
that's that's what that is. It's the Dog gott Leap

Speaker 2 (34:08):
At Super Bowl fifty nine, a very special guest joins
us on the Doug Gottlieb Show. He is now the
NFL's Defensive Player of the Year as of last evening.
Ladies and gentlemen, Patrick Sutana the Denver Broncos, congratulations on
the honor. They're here on behalf of Applebee's teaming up
as you helped spread the word on the Super Bowl
(34:30):
wing deal. We'll get to that in a second, but
congratulations on the honor last night.
Speaker 11 (34:33):
Thank you man. I appreciate it. Definitely a surreal filler.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Sure, I look, there's a lot that goes into this,
but when you stop and think about it, per second, right,
you're voted the best defensive player in the entire league. Yeah,
has that sunk in under?
Speaker 11 (34:54):
It definitely sunk in now. Yesterday it just seemed like
a blur. It just seemed like everything was a fall,
you know, just from winning the award, you know, to
all the interviews and to see my family. I just
felt instant gratification. But now I realize what I've able
to accomplish, you know, and it's pretty awesome to get measured.
(35:14):
You know, a must to best and to win that prestigious.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Award for sure.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Patricks artan joining us here where fans can enjoy free
boneless wings with an online order through Applebe's dot com
and the mobile app Doug. I have an exercise here.
I want to make sure that these numbers are official.
Someone made a list of the top receivers in the
National Football League. You can see them here and what
they did against you. Brock Bauer six routes, one catch,
(35:39):
nine yards. That correct, Yeah, sounds about right. Mike Evans
twenty four routes, one catch, eight yards. Still don't lie right.
Here's my favorite. George Pickens eleven routes, one reception, sixteen yards.
I'll tell you why it's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
In the second has he complained about because he very
much likely complained about the entire post game? Is that why?
Here's here's why.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Because the Pittsburgh Steeler fans tried to make this video
clip of George Pickens roasting him and it was ninety seconds.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
It was the one.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Catch and that catch happened last year like that this
it was it was amazing he had one catch in
your game this year? Because that game was in Pittsburgh.
This year's game was in Denver. Amazing. They tried to
make it like this highlight video and it was just
the same catch over and over again from different angles
and it was only for like ten yards.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, but yeah, what it is?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
You know, I'll do the talking for you a couple more.
Doug Drake London zero catches, zero yards on thirteen routes.
Your former teammate Jerry Judy thirty four routes, two catches
twenty yards. I mean Jamar Chase, who you said a
couple of weeks back with kay Adam's best receiver in
the NFL forty three route routes, three catches twenty seven yards.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
That that that one, That one's amazing. Here's my question. Okay,
obviously your dad was DELVI player and your dad coached you.
How did your dad coach you?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
What? What?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
What was his style and approach to coaching it that dynamic,
you know.
Speaker 11 (37:03):
I mean when he was coaching me in high school,
it wasn't so much about him just coaching me. It
was sort of him coaching a group of men. So
everything wasn't two hands on. I mean, we had a
separate dB coach Chad Wilson that coached us throughout the
duration of my high school career. So everything was just
(37:24):
like him being involved and also being the leader amongst
a group of young men. So I mean it was
pretty cool to share that dynamic on the field. Then
when we get home, his father and son on the field,
this coaching player, you know what I mean, because I
mean he treated me just like everybody else on the field,
you know what I mean. It wasn't no no advantage
(37:44):
at all. Like it wasn't no, oh he getting an
easy way out. No, I had to work and work
and work to prove my point. So it was it
was a great, great feeling. I mean, it's it's moments
that our chairs forever.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (37:58):
Sharing the same field with him for sure?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Did he did you call him coach or did you
call him dad? During games?
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (38:08):
I don't even say that to be like yo, yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Yo, pops. Yeah, I thought it was.
Speaker 11 (38:15):
Pops, you know, some some subtle you know then night Dad. Nah,
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Patrick Sutan joining us here live from Radio Row on
the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio on behalf
of Applebee's kind of Along those lines, not family wise,
but vance Joseph was once a head coach of the
Denver Broncos. Now he comes back with Sean Payton, your
defensive coordinator. Had to be some swallowing of the pride
going back to a place where it didn't work out,
(38:43):
but now leads the defense and then your defense is
off the charts.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Your defensive player of the year.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
What sort of impact does he have on you as
a player and the defense that you guys had this
year in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 11 (38:55):
Yeah, I think he's done a great job of sort
of leading, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
He's he's a great leader.
Speaker 11 (39:04):
You know, obviously he's a great defensive coordinator, but he
brought the best out of us, you know what I mean.
I just think each and every day he challenged us individually,
you know what I mean, because we had a great
we have a great defense, a young defense. We had
a lot of unsung heroes that people didn't recognize before
the season that they recognize now. So I definitely think
he brought the best out of us defensively and he
(39:26):
allowed us to shine. And his scheme using our skill set,
and that's the one thing that you know, he made
it in you know what I mean, obviously got all
these exotic schemes, these pressures.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
You know, coverages.
Speaker 11 (39:38):
But I just think that he called the right players
at the right time and that allowed allowed us to
succeed at a high level.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Okay, Dan is our resident like uniform police, but I
can tell you that we are lockstepping. Can we can
you help us get the throwback uniforms to be the
main uniforms of the Broncos.
Speaker 11 (40:02):
I tried, man, I tried.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
I tried.
Speaker 11 (40:04):
We've been trying to pitch that, you know, the ownership
and everybody involved, but it's pretty hard, man, because they
wanted to treat it like the prize, you know what
I mean, you know, create the anticipation for the throwbacks
because you know, if we make them the primaries, people
will get used to them. Then they will get bored
with that. Then we had to come up with a
whole new scheme, you know. So I think we're gonna
keep it how it is, you know what I mean,
(40:26):
keep it hitting, you know what I mean, and lead
to anticipation amongst the fans.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
You know, So, uh is Bonex the real deal? Great
rookie season? What do you see him in him as
a quarterback.
Speaker 11 (40:37):
He is a real deal, honestly. I mean, I just
I've seen it first start of OTAs. I just see
the confidence that the meaning, the poys, everything along those lines,
and I think that, you know, I've seen it early on. Obviously,
he's very mature to be a rookie. He came in
with the right mindset, the right demeanor, very confident. I
(40:59):
remember he made no look throw like one of the
first players of OTA is all like, okay, Yeah, he's
coming in with with that attitude, with that swagger. So
I was like, yeah, we're.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
Gonna have a good year.
Speaker 11 (41:09):
You know, you know when you feel that presence and
that you know, that sort of urgency. Uh, you know
that the year that he was going to have I
wasn't a surprise at all.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Pat Another thing that this is kind of a bone
I had to pick with Dan is he loves boneless wings.
You're promoting boneless wings, but boneless aren't those chicken nuggets? Like, Like,
what I get that that's not a wing? A wing
has bones. Wings are wings. Boneless wings are chicken nuggets.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Buffaloes don't have wings. So like we're already off to
a wrong like a bad start there? Who cares the
boneless wings to me?
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah? The wings?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
The wings?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Yeah, what's your favorite flavor that I know? Doug wants
to know.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Favorite flavor of wings?
Speaker 11 (41:56):
See this is this is a tricky one because a
lot of people may not under stand. I think it's
an Atlanta thing that's sort of grown as it's a
hot hot lemon pepper.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Oh, lemon pepper is very popular on this stage.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
I love I love lempep. I like the dry lemon
pepper rub more than the wet lemon pepper. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah, got more of.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
A drive guy. You know, so much of sports is
about confidence, and Dan went through and read all those numbers.
But how do you maintain and again now your defense
to play of the year, everybody's gonna be coming at you.
But even as a young player, you still maintained a
level of confidence but not arrogance. How do you do
that in a position where, like I actually think the
(42:37):
Pittsburgh thing is the perfect example, Dan, where you can
shut a guy down ten different routes and then you
slip and he gets you once right, And social media
media makes you feel like you don't know what you're doing.
How do you personally maintain a proper level of self confidence.
Speaker 11 (42:55):
Yeah, I mean all about dB is confidence. Man. I
have to feel like to go out out there and
going against top level athletes and going backwards you're reading
and reacting. I mean, that's just what it is at
the end of the day. I mean, that's what makes
dB hard. But uh, you just gotta have the confidence
go out there and be the best player that you
(43:15):
could be, you know, I mean, hone in on your
technique and tape and you're gonna have short term memory
at the end of the day, you know, cornerback. You know,
it's you're gonna have your highs and lows. I mean,
you're gonna have games where you get beat ain't gonna
have your good games. And that's what it is at
the end of the day. But you just gotta stay
confident throughout the game because then that play gonna come
(43:37):
and you're gonna make a game change and play throughout
the game. So like when you when you have those games, man,
you know like, Okay, yeah, I'm gonna make a game
change and play.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
For sure.

Dan Bayer alongside NBA trade deadline is well now.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Right, yes it is just pasted, Doug seals could still
be done done.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, no, no trades. So okay, do you want to
get me the rundown on who's been traded?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Can we do? The guys that matter? If you don't
get mentioned, they don't matter, Like I think that Mark
Williams getting trade to the Lakers does matter because it's
one of those, Hey, you trade for Luca, you have,
you know, three high level scores in Reeves, Luka, Doncik,
and Lebron James. But Luca's a traffic cone. Reeves is
(01:23):
slightly better and Lebron is hit or missed defensively. Now
they got somebody to protect the rim. That does make sense, right,
all makes sense. Gives you a rim threat, a lob threat,
and a shot blocker. Obviously, I think that the move
the Bucks made. I don't know if Kyle Kuzma solves
their issues, but he's an upgrade. He's an upgrade over
(01:47):
a former star that they trade, Chris Middleton, who's kind
of aged out a little bit. So I think they
got better. Dallas obviously looking far different with Anthony Davis.
Have yet to see him in a Mavericks uniform. Dearon
Fox leaving the Sacramento Kings. I don't know if that
makes them. I don't think that makes them immediately viable,
but it's definitely a step in that direction where San
(02:09):
Antonio you feel like, hey, they're probably a season away
from being in mentioned in contention, the Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler. Guy.
Is that the type of push that gets them back
to competing among the league's elite, and Kevin Durant isn't traded,
which means the Phoenix Suns continue to be kind of
(02:30):
a bit of a dumpster fire. Right feels like it
sure Knicks don't make a move this year. They made
their moves in the offseason. Celtics don't make a move.
They continue to push along. Calves don't really make a move.
And they're a team that's been the hottest team in
the East for most of the season. And that's really
the players. I'm missing anybody that matters.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I think there are two deals of substance.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Clippers are getting Bogdan Bogdanovitch from the Atlanta Hawks and
three second round picks they sent Terrence Man and Bones
Highland to in return. The Hawks also traded DeAndre Hunter
to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Karris lt, George Niang and
some draft picks Hawks and everybody. They traded Cody Zeller
to the Rockets as well.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, it feels like the Hawks are about to hit
reset in the offseason. Yes, because they've last two off seasons,
there's been the potential threat of trading Trey Young. It
hasn't happened. But when you start to move every one
of the deck chairs around, you change coaches, you change
general managers, when you change everything, and the only thing
(03:33):
that hasn't changed is Trey Young. And he's incredibly productive,
but you're not winning anymore, Matt. In fact, you're winning
a little bit less. Then that feels like sort of
an inevitability that eventually he's moved to kind of hit reset.
Is that fair?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I think so, But there could also be the equation,
And I think you're probably right of we tried this
with Trey Young. We put all these pieces around him,
and guess what, none of it worked. So let's try
to go a different route. But I don't know if
you have enough time to do that. So I think
that's why I leaned towards your thinking of it. They
(04:09):
made it to an Eastern Conference finals in twenty twenty one.
It's as far as they got, and that was honestly,
that was probably their ceiling anyway, for even them to
get that far.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Toga, I think I think they that's happened in what's
happened in the NFL, Like right now, if you're the
commanders and you went to the NFC championship game. You
were not the second best team in the NFC.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
You were not.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The Lions were the best team in the NFC. They
played poorly and they got beat. Now they're gonna have
to figure out new coordinators and losing some guys and
rebuilding that defense. Okay, but if the Redskins think they're
a player or two away, they're kidding themselves. I don't
think they think that.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, right, they calling them the Commanders now, Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm sorry, I kept saying redid good. Part of that
was our conversation yesterday with Rivera, with Ron Rivera, who
was basically said, like, I wish they kept as the Redskins.
They did lots of studies. They should have kept as
the redis Anyway, let me congratulate the NBA.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
All right, twofold.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
This NBA season has been the boringest season on record? Right,
can you remember one basketball moment that you cared at
all about outside of why are they playing Bronnie James
in the NBA? Like literally, that's the only thing that
has drawn any sort of attention ever ever, Like, and
(05:29):
I understand, Hey, you're a college basketball coach. I watch
a lot more college basketball, a lot more film. So
maybe my mind is not on the NBA, but like, look,
I went to a Bucks game. I really enjoyed the experience.
I follow NBA teams. I have friends and coaches who
I call on in the NBA for advice and thoughts
and evaluations of some of the players we have. Some
(05:51):
of the players are going after some of the players
were playing against. All that said is I'm a basketball guy,
and I'm telling you I couldn't be less interested in
the snows fest that has been the first half of
the NBA season. And it's super weak. And the NFL
kicked the NBA's ass on Christmas Day. And you know
what the NBA did. The NBA said double birds. I'm
(06:12):
not giving double birds because we're on the YouTube. They
did double birds. And they moved the trade deadline to
Super Bowl Week. That's a bold move that I don't
know when they did it. Do you know when they
did it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's been a couple of years, because I've had deja
vu sitting on the stage with you telling you the
trades that it went down. Really, yes, it is. It
has been a couple of years. But what I think
it was was the NFL had to expand their season.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So then it ended up falling in the trade deadline area.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, whatever they did, you know, you give me Luca's
been traded, Jimmy Butler's been traded, Anthony Davis has been traded,
Daron Fox has been traded, Kevin Rant has been flirted
with but not traded, and anybody else, any other stars
I'm thinking about being moved, right, But.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, I think I think that that covers it.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right on Super Week and you have let's just be honest,
the boring is super Bowl week you can think of,
right boring?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, Well, it's it's not driving. It's not driving. The
matchup is not driving the interest.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It's not just not It's not not just the matchup.
It's I do think I have I didn't go to
Bourbon Street, an you guys goning to Bourbon Street? Did
anybody go?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Not yet?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, And it's one of those things.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We had this discussion at dinner last night, which is like,
do I think people are gonna have a good time
Saturday night? Sure? Do I think it'll be the same
level of uh? Is it revelry? Revelry? I think it's
with a V, isn't it? Yes, revelry will it's to
be the same level of revelry that it would have
been before that awful terrorist attack a couple of weeks ago.
(07:55):
Now it's not gonna be the same. It's impossible for
you to feel the same about this city considering what
just happened, because we're all like sort of reasonable people.
I feel like College also is a little less reasonable,
you know. But you know it's right before the Sugar Bowl,
right before the National semi finals, and you know there's
import to you is like should I be having a
(08:17):
great time when they, like just a couple of weeks ago,
there are bodies laying in the street. It feels weird anyway,
point is we're in this kind of weird place at
the Super Bowl. Weather's great teams are really good. Like
the one thing you can't argue with. You may be
bored by it, but the Eagles have been good for
a couple years. They have a great roster, and you
can't argue with Kansas City Andrey Reads. But also they
(08:39):
have arguably the greatest quarterback to ever play. So it's
not for lack of great teams. These are great teams.
It's just nobody's gonna say anything interesting anymore because they're
all worried about pushback. Neither team has sort of interesting
new storylines that we can think of that really make
you make you want to watch the game. And I
(09:02):
don't know, it's kind of a blah week. And here
the NBA comes in and says, I got your block
week right there for you.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I would also say, what is interesting is one of
the bigger stories that I do think could have taken
place this week was Miles Garrett and his trade demand
from the Browns. And Miles Garrett was making the rounds
at certain spots here on Radio Row, and it almost
seemed as if not that it was part of the
pitch that he was pitching, but he was asked about
(09:31):
certain teams and the Commanders I know, were one of
the teams that he was asked about. And who's gonna
say no on when you're talking about like a command
would you like to go to the Commanders? Yeah, they
got a really good team over there. And then that
makes a headline, But that isn't that almost seems manufactured
in a way of I think an actual I think he.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Got overshadowed by Luca, like you got a guy who's
a very very good player. Miles Garrett's is a very
good player demanding a trade which may or Manhattan happened,
it's not gonna happen this week. Versus a guy who's
arguably the best player in the NBA, who just went
to the NBA Finals in a completely surprised move, being
(10:12):
traded in the exact same timeline that he said that.
Miles Scatt said he wanted to be traded, So I
think that he frankly got lucid. He could be he
got lucid. Thanks for listening to The Doug Gottlieb Show podcast.

announced as accepted a job at his alma monitor Cal.
Essentially the we'll get to the actual term of it,
because again at Cal, it's never as easy as just
let's just call them the gentle manager. They had to
come up with a bunch of different stuff. But basically
he's going to kind of oversee parts of the football program,
(10:55):
a position that many in the college game have now accepted.
Ron Rivera is our guest here on the Doug Oatleab Show. Coach.
How are you.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I'm doing well, Doug, I really am.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
How are you good? So tell me about the position
of Cal right.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Well, what we're trying to do is is and we're
still working on the details of it, as you said,
but it really is somebody that's going to work with
a football program. But it's going to work on every
facet as much as we can. Working with the coaching staff,
trying to help the head coach, trying to help the
head coach get resources, trying to help coach get players,
work with the university intercollegiate department, trying to help fundraising,
(11:27):
help the university fundraise itself. So there's going to be
a little bit more to it, I believe. I'm really
excited about had an opportunity to talk with the chancellor
about this. It's a neat opportunity, it's a unique opportunity,
and I'm excited because it's an opportunity for me to
give back to the university as a whole.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, it's and Cal obviously a great place. Number one
public institution in America and a place I know that
there's something different when it's your school. You know when
it when's your school. There's some you've coached in this game.
When you coach in this game, you had an incredible defense.
But so the dever Broncos, Yes, right, they just and
(12:04):
you just couldn't crack that code. If you could go
back and change one thing about your prep, what would it.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Be, you know, in all honesty, to me, it really
wasn't about the prep more than it was about the circumstances.
There was one play I think that really kind of
defined it, and it was the first time we had
the balls in offense and there was a pass play
that in today's game, it's one of those things that
it could have gone either direction, and because of certain elements,
(12:32):
it was called against us. And that one play I
really do think was a little bit of the difference.
It was something that put us behind. No, No, it
was it was the pass completion incompletion. Cam had thrown
a ball that was right there on the cusp of
whether it was complete or not. It was ruled initially
a completion, then it was overruled as an incompletion, So
(12:52):
that was challenge, and the challenge.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Was, well, not enough evidence to change it back?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Well, okay, if there's not enough to change the fact,
and why was it gone from completion and incompletion you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
So it's one of those things you could argue and
it's a little bit of sour grapes on my apartment.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No, No, the reality of it, I know, but that's.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
The truth because from my perspective, and then I promise
you from their perspective. But at the end of the day,
when those things happen, those things do make impacts, They
do change certain things, and that was one of the
things that was an impactful play.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
There's there's no question. I mean, like, look, I'm coaching
in college basketball. We're on a losing streak. It's not great,
and I can point to in so many of these games,
one play, one call where if it goes a different way,
I don't know that the outcome is gonna be different,
but there's a great chance, right. Momentum is a real thing,
and it also kind of screws up. You know, you
(13:41):
have your scripted plays, and when one doesn't go your
way suddenly. Now, okay, what do we do? What do
we do with the with the with the script? Is
it better to have it's the old? Is it better
to have loved and lost than never loved it all?
Like having gone to the super Bowl but not wonted?
Is that better than not having gone to the super Bowl?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
I agree, it doesn't matter going to the super Bowls
and experience in itself, Okay, And only so many people
can say I've been to a super Bowl. Only so
many people can say I've won a super Bowl. I'm
fortunately I can say I have one one and I've lost.
I've lost two.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
But I've been there, and it's an amazing experience. It
really is.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
It's everything that we work for as players and as coaches.
I mean, when you get there, you're at the peak. Okay,
you're at the top. But to stand on the very pinnacle,
you've got to win it. So I've been there and
and and I've done both and and to me, it's
the reason why if you get into this game for
any other reason than going and winning the super Bowl,
(14:39):
then you shouldn't be in this league.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I mean, okay, so I got to ask you, Cam Newton,
just said, I know, I know. He just said, I know.
You know if you give back your MVP to win
a Super Bowl. He's like, nah, you know, I can,
I can?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I can?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I can? I get can. I take a guess you're
thinking to yourself, but you can't say, welcome to my world.
This was what I was managing.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Well, the thing about Camp Towo, and let's don't forget
he's been to the peak and the pinnacle of college football.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
He's won the Heisman and he won a national championship.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I get it. But we're talking about the NFL.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
I know.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
In the NFL he's won the MVP. He hasn't on that,
So and tell you you don't know what it's about.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
That's what all said that. That's what I said.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's fair.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I'll be politically correct.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Okay. The other part that's interesting is you were known
and it was really I felt like that season and
maybe a little bit later you got the nickname of
riverboat Run. But the Riverboat Run at first, and again,
tell me if I'm wrong, you're fair, was because you
were generally conservative in nature, right, you were? You were
a punt anytime on fourth down, guy. You were very,
very conservative, defensive minded, and by the way, that team
(15:46):
was one of the best defenses. It probably doesn't get
credit right Sean McDermott built it for you. That was
a great defense. But you were conservative, and then all
of a sudden you started going for it a little
bit and you got the kind of almost sarcastic nickname
with you then embrased.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Yeah, it's a tremendous story.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Really, what happened was after my first two seasons in
the NFL as a head coach, I had this three
and thirteen record of losing games by seven points or less.
And after each year I would sit down with the
previous owner, Jerry Richards, and we would go through the
year and talk about different things. When we finish up
our discussion, I turned him.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I says, you know, I need a mentor. I need
somebody to talk.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
With and understand some things and helped me through some situations.
He kind of chuckles a little bit and he goes,
I want you to look at this, and he slides
this piece of paper across to me and on the
piece of paper John Madden and his phone number. He goes,
you and I are on the same page. I want
you to call coach. He's expecting your call. I've already
talked to him about you talking to him.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Wow, So I get done. The first thing I did.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
I called him right away. We had this great twenty
minute conversation. He says, Hey, come on out to Pleasanton, California.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Come to my office. Let's sit down, let's talk football.
So I do.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I make this plan. I fly out there. We sit down,
we start talking. Previously that he told me, go back,
look at those games that you lost, those thirteen games,
and see if there's something you could have done differently. Well,
in my mind it's like, hey, do a report. So
I go back. I watched those thirteen games. I write
these notes up, I do this, I type it all up.
I make this twenty page report from my fly out there,
(17:12):
fled to California to Red Bear Ventures, go to his office.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
We sit down.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
We start talking and say, oh, here I brought this report.
You wanted me to do what report? I said, well,
talking about the thirteen games I had lost. He looks
at me and goes, that's not for me, that's for you.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
What did you learn?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I said, Well, like this one here. I punted.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
When I think we had an opportunity to possibly go
for it. And then on this one I took the
field goal to go up by six, and then they
score a touchdown and beat us by by one. He said, yeah,
and each one is what could you have done? I said, well,
I could have probably gone for it. He said, exactly,
if Ron, you're being conservative for what reason? I said,
I'm going by the book. He said, what book? There
is no book. And it made me realize when he
(17:53):
said that what I was doing was what was conservative,
what was safe. I wouldn't get criticized if it went
the other way, and made me realize that.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Shoot.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
So fast forward. Now we're in twenty thirteen. We're playing
a game. We're playing the Giants at home. We get
our first drive, it's fourth.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Down at midfield.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I go for it.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
We get the first down. We continue on the drive,
get to the goal line. It's fourth in the.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Goal, go for it, punch it in for a touchdown.
We score again. We scored. We beat him pretty good.
We shut him. I think we want like thirty three
to nothing or something like that. The next week, I
do it in Minnesota. First series of go forward to
fourth down, we get it, get down to the goal
line fourth and three. We ran a shovel pass touchdown,
so we win the game. After the game, somebody in
(18:37):
the media is interviewing fans.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Hey, what do you think. Oh, it's great, coach being aggressively.
I great. Get to this one, gentleman.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
So what did you think of Coach Vera going for
at the fourth down? He goes, well, I'll tell you what. Oh,
Coach Rivera out there like a riverboat gambler, that old
riverboat ron.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Now you're splitting aces at the casino. I know your
dad was in the Army. He was a nom as well. Yes,
is that what drew you to USAA.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yes, the fact that my dad served thirty two years
the United States Army, traveling all over the world with him.
You know, we'd gone to Germany, we'd gone to Panamon,
we were all over the United States. Our home base
was Ford or California. And so being part of a
military family and understanding exactly what that commitment of sacrifice
is drove me to want to support the military every
opportunity I got. Well, then I get a little bit
(19:19):
of a platform because the usaas salute the service. So
from there we do many things that we can show
our support. And the great part was USA was behind
us the whole way. So fast forward a couple of years,
I get an opportunity I win the USA Salute the
Service Award. Very proud moment for me, but a great
moment for my dad. I mean, he was very proud
of the whole award and so I've joined with them
(19:40):
the last few years in support of it. And the
real neat thing is this year as a winner is
George Kittle from the forty nine Ers, a guy that
does the same thing. He supports so many different efforts throughout,
but he also supports the military in a big way,
and USA has recognized him as this year's Salute the
Service Award winner.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Well, Coach Rivera, I'm sure Cal is so proud to
have you back all the things you stay for as well.
But he was asking, well, you're the one that suggested
the commanders.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
The command No, are you kidding? I mean, if I could,
I would, if I would have stuck with with with
the original name. I grew up a fan.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Yes, I believed in it, and and I I know
it's hard for people to understand, but you know, to me,
it's it's it's.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
A traditional thing.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
And and and we're not going to name our sports
teams after derogatory name.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Sure, and that's that was always kind of my stance.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
But I understood the social issue, the social pressures, which
were very, very unfair. I think the thing that people
have to understand too as well is that you know
when when when you do things and you make decisions,
especially a decision like that, you have to go out
and you've got to really research it.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Well.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
There was a tremendous amount of research done.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I mean, they they they brought in former players, you know,
they brought in fans, they brought in focus groups, and
they they put all these.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Names out to it. And that's how it was decided.
It wasn't decided by me. It was decided by focus groups,
alumni and fans.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Though I remember that there was a video where they
like blurred out your lips, so it was like Jason
Wright showed it to you, I think, a bunch of
different nicknames.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
And then the truth matter is at that point what
was decided was because this is the nation's capital, because
of where we were. Okay, a name befitting leadership was
probably what we were looking for because this is the
nation's capital. So this is this is the base of
all the power in the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's worth now.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Yeah, it's weird, it really is.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It is well, coach, listen, enjoy back in Berkeley. More
things changed when they stay the same there it's still
berserkly And thanks so much for being our guests.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Now, I appreciate the advice you gave me to Doug,
I really do. I know you've been through it as
a coach and understanding what's been going on.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
In the in the NCAA.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I have been going through the the the losses, and
I have I have a mentor in the great Dick Bennett,
oh wow, who helps me sort through all these things
as well. So I'm actually learning from you as we speak.
So I appreciate that.

(22:27):
these wings as if have you guys not eaten today?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Or do you guys have to eat at like every stop?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Nope, haven't eat at all?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You haven't.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
So these are these are perfect?
Speaker 7 (22:36):
So have you hear some Mesmr? Yeah, this is why
you know what's you know?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
It's you know, it's weird.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
So I was, I was a big twelve guy. I
play basketball Oklhoma State and it was cute. You'ren't even
be twelve anymore, so you had word. So but like
it's really the last twenty five years that wings have
been this big a thing. Really, yes, like we used
to like when you go watch the game back in
(23:02):
the day, I think sliders, hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Pizza, pizza.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
The wing thing was like right when I was coming
out of college. It became big. But but uh, I
got I got a bunch of stuff to ask you
Bejon Tyler. Let's let's Bjon. Let let's start with, uh,
do you did you get to keep the Lamborghini?
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Yeah, but it's still back in the Austin Though your
name is your name on the title, the name's not
on the title. But it's like every time I go,
they're like, here, this is yours. Man, Yeah, it's something
like that.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh yeah, Tyler, you do do you is that? Does
that mean it's his car? That does not mean it's
his car?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Right, it doesn't mean it's his car.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
And there's and there's the and there's a company car
too for the for the Mustard. So there's a yellow
Lamborghini that's the Mustards.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah. The only okay, the only other part too, it
is you can't really be inconspicuous rolling back to Austin
if you're driving a Lambo, right, yeah, literally, everyone will
know you're here.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
They will.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Yeah, it's and then on top of that, like it's
not really tinted too much. Yeah they have darker windows,
but it's not really tinted, so like they're gonna just
look and be like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I mean listen, I mean who am I. I haven't
driven a Lamborghini, so I don't know what that is, Okay,
Tyler N. The nicest car you've ever driven got to be.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
BMW BMW No do you.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Uh like the Q Wagon? Not the boxing one?
Speaker 7 (24:41):
We haven't touched.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
So what what is the Lamb like to drive?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
What do you drive? Huh?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I have a I have a one of those hummervs.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Okay, yeah, I mean it's it's really just driving like
kind of anything. It's just it's not like driving anything outside,
so like just how you drive it.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
But like I understand, it's gonna steering wheel and it.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Takes off very fast, so you gotta you gotta gradually
get into it.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
You can't just put your foot on the gas because it'll.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Yank you, and you gotta like you kind of kind
of momentum yourself into it. And then when it slows down,
it breaks hard. So you need to you need to
like very gently put your put your foot on the
on the break because if not, it'll it'll make you fly.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Everybody in there fly. But it's it's a very explosive car.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I'll take you that, Tyler Jeer and be shonn Robinson
joining us here, Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Tray joining
us on half of Bounty. That's why they're eating wings
because you can't have football without wings. You can't have wings.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Without Bounty without.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
It's like this wing man right here, like this is
my wing man.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Hey always, I know he's I know he's your wing man.
But like the bounty thing, you guys also can't get
anything on those bounty jackets. No, you have the like
as much as you have the paper towels. You can't
get anything on the jacket. That's an art tiler. You
did very well consider how hungry you were not get
anything on it.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Man, I'm keeping the jacket. Actually think that I do too.
I'm rocking this.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
How would you characterize your year?
Speaker 7 (26:05):
I thought it was really good, that it was really good.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I think I think, uh, wait, as personally or as
a team.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Either it's it's what's got an opening of neutral question.
You're taking whichever way you want, bro.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Let's go. Uh, let's go.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
As the team, I felt like we were really close.
We were really close, and then but shoo were we
were better than the past three years. So I think
that's a that's a great improvement. But this time we
just need to work on just being want to know
every week and then I think they'll get us to
what are what the end goal is?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Did you know that Kirk was hurt? Because Kirk came
out and was like, no, it's hurt, that's what happened.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
No, Man, I didn't I mean, the thing with Kirk
is like he's a he's a super tough dude, so
you know, I had no idea so he did. He
just let it ride, let it rock out, and you
know we thought we were good with it too. But
you know, obviously you don't know what's going on internally
with the player. Uh But I mean he said it yesterday,
but hey, I mean it's football.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
You gotta be tough.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
You can't really when Pennix came in for a bunch
of young dudes, what's that like to have that energy
come into your locker room?
Speaker 7 (27:03):
I feel like, uh, I thought that was pretty good.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
I felt like he already prepared himself to be a
starter right when he came in. So I think having
Kirk has a great veteran to look to take him
under his wing, and then whenever, whenever his time came,
he ended up just flourishing.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
So I think, uh, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
People have talked about the ball that Pennix throws, Yeah,
describe it as somebody who has to catch it.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
I mean I like catching it honestly because I'm a
lefty too, so you know, I'm kind of used to
like those lefty.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Spins but so it spins different.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah, it spins different. It does.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
It's I mean a spind like the spindle of the
football is the same thing, and it's just the other way.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
You still got to catch it.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
But I mean he throws it, he gets it to
where it needs to be, Like he gets it in
the pocket.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
Oh my god, god, you got you got you got you,
But he does jib out.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Robinson joined his Stut Gottley show Fox Sports Radio a
year and a half ago. Before the season, there was
a lot of talk about running backs getting contract, to
getting that big second contract, right, yeah, and all these
guys switch places and then they all have great years.
What's that feel like to be a young running back
and see that happen?
Speaker 8 (28:21):
I mean it's it's great, man, like just seeing you know.
It was what three years ago when when this whole
talk started of like should you pay running back?
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Should do running backs matter? All that, blah blah.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
I mean it was all like just you know, opinions, honestly,
but you know, to see where it's at now and
to see how much it's grown, and now you can
now we now teams have two running backs? Are that
are you know playing at super high levels and that
that are effective no matter what where the game is
or no matter what situation it is, like you have,
I mean for us, like we obviously we have Tyler
(28:53):
and myself, and you know we're just doing things that
you know used to be like one guy can do
now two guys can do it as well.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
And I mean, this running back is.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Growing, this position is going crazy, and I think there's
a lot of great guys in it and obviously like
it's only going to continue to grow from from years on.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Tyler.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I have a I have a theory Saquon Barkley is
actually an X Men. Like jumping over dudes backwards in
a game the NFL is not something that normal human
beings can do. So do you think he's really a mutant?
Speaker 7 (29:26):
I would say so, yeah, he's insane.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That like if Congress, if Congress ever has those like uh,
those mutant trials like they have in the X Men movies,
like I would expect him to be called before Congress.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
That dude definitely has the play of the year that
was insane.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Insane because it's not like he got stopped right there
now still he's still getting an extra comes.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Off fun jumped backwards and still got yards.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I was like, all right, and that's that's post knee injury.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, crazy, Yeah, to that point, we all all over
that move as running backs. What do you you guys
appreciate like when you see somebody that thug or I
wouldn't see like that, You're like all right there and
we wouldn't know, but you know, to be a good
eye what what.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
What you know? Snaps with you guys in that way. Shoot.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Well, first of all, I mean, obviously you can't discredit
Saquon's abilities and his guy giving abilities and his talent
and what he does. But I mean, this man has
an incredible O line too, Like man, them dudes like
create the most insane Yeah, and I mean obviously you
can see what happens in one year last year for him,
(30:35):
and then fast forward to this year and it's completely different.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
So that's why I appreciate.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Our O line and what, you know, what they've done
for us, because I think it's really important to have
a good O line to want to be successful and
to want to run how you want to run, and
have those kind of spaces and things like that to
use your gifts. But yeah, man, I mean he's he's changing,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I'm gonna pause beforehand. But you have a little whole envy.
That's what I'm like that Tyler Isaiah Pacheco. On the
other side, that guy, he runs like you're holding down
the turbo button like bro, slow down. But Brown, that's
a that's a very unique running style. Yeah. Yeah, I'd
(31:17):
never say anything like it.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
How does he do that?
Speaker 9 (31:23):
I couldn't tell you because he the way the way
he just gets out, but like it's just automatically yes, out, yes,
So like it's.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Just a sprinter out of the out of the block
as soon as he gets as soon.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
As he gets the ball. Yeah, no, it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
I think that's a cool way to run, Like even
though they even put his running style on Madden, which
is which is wild. Actually yeah, like he's Davy running
like himself and Madden. But I think like it's good.
It's good for him because he can still control his body.
He can still control himself because obviously when you see
him running, think he's way out of control. But no, man,
he's still be making cuts he said, were making people miss.
(31:55):
So that's that's pretty cool to you.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I just say we learned that he plays as somebody
other than himself, and Matt, that's yes, that's I do.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
Aren't you aren't you in eighty seven? Ninety?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Yeah, ninety It's kind of cool?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
That is that is it is?
Speaker 7 (32:08):
That is that that is kind of wait wait to
check me, Brenn.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Tyler, real quick, all right? Your wings of like you're
gonna order wings more than ship bowl? What's the wing order?
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Gotta go twenty twenty piece twenty piece lemon.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Pepper traditional traditional or boneless traditional good?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
From where?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
From where?
Speaker 4 (32:31):

Stock wingsuy, wings out fries stop wings out fries hot

I'm gonna go because this is for more than myself.
So I'm probably gonna go like fifty yes, okay, and
I'm gonna go half lemon pepper, half buffalo, and I'm
getting an insane amount of celery from wingstop.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Uh blue cheese or rach.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Ranch ranch good good call, whoever says ches.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Just I can't. I can't do the blue chees, Ye you,
I cannot do the boe che Hey man, congrats on
a great year of fellas. I appreciate it. You can't
do football without wings, and you can't do wings there.
You go make sure you guys don't get any spots
on those dose jackets.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Gotta keep him green vintage.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Next year. You got to bring the jackets for the host.
That's what you got it. You got to bring the
jackets on the host. Uh real quick. Yes, I don't
think he owns the Lamborghini just because he can drive
the Lamborghini. Oh no, No. The only thing now, the
only thing is he doesn't have to If he doesn't
own it, he doesn't have to insure it. So there
is a bonus today. There is a benefit of that.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
That's that's a that's a Austin education right there. That
that's that's what that is. It's the Dog gott Leap

Speaker 2 (34:08):
At Super Bowl fifty nine, a very special guest joins
us on the Doug Gottlieb Show. He is now the
NFL's Defensive Player of the Year as of last evening.
Ladies and gentlemen, Patrick Sutana the Denver Broncos, congratulations on
the honor. They're here on behalf of Applebee's teaming up
as you helped spread the word on the Super Bowl
(34:30):
wing deal. We'll get to that in a second, but
congratulations on the honor last night.
Speaker 11 (34:33):
Thank you man. I appreciate it. Definitely a surreal filler.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Sure, I look, there's a lot that goes into this,
but when you stop and think about it, per second, right,
you're voted the best defensive player in the entire league. Yeah,
has that sunk in under?
Speaker 11 (34:54):
It definitely sunk in now. Yesterday it just seemed like
a blur. It just seemed like everything was a fall,
you know, just from winning the award, you know, to
all the interviews and to see my family. I just
felt instant gratification. But now I realize what I've able
to accomplish, you know, and it's pretty awesome to get measured.
(35:14):
You know, a must to best and to win that prestigious.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Award for sure.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Patricks artan joining us here where fans can enjoy free
boneless wings with an online order through Applebe's dot com
and the mobile app Doug. I have an exercise here.
I want to make sure that these numbers are official.
Someone made a list of the top receivers in the
National Football League. You can see them here and what
they did against you. Brock Bauer six routes, one catch,
(35:39):
nine yards. That correct, Yeah, sounds about right. Mike Evans
twenty four routes, one catch, eight yards. Still don't lie right.
Here's my favorite. George Pickens eleven routes, one reception, sixteen yards.
I'll tell you why it's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
In the second has he complained about because he very
much likely complained about the entire post game? Is that why?
Here's here's why.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Because the Pittsburgh Steeler fans tried to make this video
clip of George Pickens roasting him and it was ninety seconds.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
It was the one.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Catch and that catch happened last year like that this
it was it was amazing he had one catch in
your game this year? Because that game was in Pittsburgh.
This year's game was in Denver. Amazing. They tried to
make it like this highlight video and it was just
the same catch over and over again from different angles
and it was only for like ten yards.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, but yeah, what it is?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
You know, I'll do the talking for you a couple more.
Doug Drake London zero catches, zero yards on thirteen routes.
Your former teammate Jerry Judy thirty four routes, two catches
twenty yards. I mean Jamar Chase, who you said a
couple of weeks back with kay Adam's best receiver in
the NFL forty three route routes, three catches twenty seven yards.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
That that that one, That one's amazing. Here's my question. Okay,
obviously your dad was DELVI player and your dad coached you.
How did your dad coach you?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
What? What?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
What was his style and approach to coaching it that dynamic,
you know.
Speaker 11 (37:03):
I mean when he was coaching me in high school,
it wasn't so much about him just coaching me. It
was sort of him coaching a group of men. So
everything wasn't two hands on. I mean, we had a
separate dB coach Chad Wilson that coached us throughout the
duration of my high school career. So everything was just
(37:24):
like him being involved and also being the leader amongst
a group of young men. So I mean it was
pretty cool to share that dynamic on the field. Then
when we get home, his father and son on the field,
this coaching player, you know what I mean, because I
mean he treated me just like everybody else on the field,
you know what I mean. It wasn't no no advantage
(37:44):
at all. Like it wasn't no, oh he getting an
easy way out. No, I had to work and work
and work to prove my point. So it was it
was a great, great feeling. I mean, it's it's moments
that our chairs forever.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (37:58):
Sharing the same field with him for sure?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Did he did you call him coach or did you
call him dad? During games?
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (38:08):
I don't even say that to be like yo, yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Yo, pops. Yeah, I thought it was.
Speaker 11 (38:15):
Pops, you know, some some subtle you know then night Dad. Nah,
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Patrick Sutan joining us here live from Radio Row on
the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio on behalf
of Applebee's kind of Along those lines, not family wise,
but vance Joseph was once a head coach of the
Denver Broncos. Now he comes back with Sean Payton, your
defensive coordinator. Had to be some swallowing of the pride
going back to a place where it didn't work out,
(38:43):
but now leads the defense and then your defense is
off the charts.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Your defensive player of the year.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
What sort of impact does he have on you as
a player and the defense that you guys had this
year in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 11 (38:55):
Yeah, I think he's done a great job of sort
of leading, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
He's he's a great leader.
Speaker 11 (39:04):
You know, obviously he's a great defensive coordinator, but he
brought the best out of us, you know what I mean.
I just think each and every day he challenged us individually,
you know what I mean, because we had a great
we have a great defense, a young defense. We had
a lot of unsung heroes that people didn't recognize before
the season that they recognize now. So I definitely think
he brought the best out of us defensively and he
(39:26):
allowed us to shine. And his scheme using our skill set,
and that's the one thing that you know, he made
it in you know what I mean, obviously got all
these exotic schemes, these pressures.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
You know, coverages.
Speaker 11 (39:38):
But I just think that he called the right players
at the right time and that allowed allowed us to
succeed at a high level.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Okay, Dan is our resident like uniform police, but I
can tell you that we are lockstepping. Can we can
you help us get the throwback uniforms to be the
main uniforms of the Broncos.
Speaker 11 (40:02):
I tried, man, I tried.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
I tried.
Speaker 11 (40:04):
We've been trying to pitch that, you know, the ownership
and everybody involved, but it's pretty hard, man, because they
wanted to treat it like the prize, you know what
I mean, you know, create the anticipation for the throwbacks
because you know, if we make them the primaries, people
will get used to them. Then they will get bored
with that. Then we had to come up with a
whole new scheme, you know. So I think we're gonna
keep it how it is, you know what I mean,
(40:26):
keep it hitting, you know what I mean, and lead
to anticipation amongst the fans.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
You know, So, uh is Bonex the real deal? Great
rookie season? What do you see him in him as
a quarterback.
Speaker 11 (40:37):
He is a real deal, honestly. I mean, I just
I've seen it first start of OTAs. I just see
the confidence that the meaning, the poys, everything along those lines,
and I think that, you know, I've seen it early on. Obviously,
he's very mature to be a rookie. He came in
with the right mindset, the right demeanor, very confident. I
(40:59):
remember he made no look throw like one of the
first players of OTA is all like, okay, Yeah, he's
coming in with with that attitude, with that swagger. So
I was like, yeah, we're.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
Gonna have a good year.
Speaker 11 (41:09):
You know, you know when you feel that presence and
that you know, that sort of urgency. Uh, you know
that the year that he was going to have I
wasn't a surprise at all.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Pat Another thing that this is kind of a bone
I had to pick with Dan is he loves boneless wings.
You're promoting boneless wings, but boneless aren't those chicken nuggets? Like, Like,
what I get that that's not a wing? A wing
has bones. Wings are wings. Boneless wings are chicken nuggets.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Buffaloes don't have wings. So like we're already off to
a wrong like a bad start there? Who cares the
boneless wings to me?
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah? The wings?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
The wings?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Yeah, what's your favorite flavor that I know? Doug wants
to know.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Favorite flavor of wings?
Speaker 11 (41:56):
See this is this is a tricky one because a
lot of people may not under stand. I think it's
an Atlanta thing that's sort of grown as it's a
hot hot lemon pepper.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Oh, lemon pepper is very popular on this stage.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
I love I love lempep. I like the dry lemon
pepper rub more than the wet lemon pepper. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah, got more of.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
A drive guy. You know, so much of sports is
about confidence, and Dan went through and read all those numbers.
But how do you maintain and again now your defense
to play of the year, everybody's gonna be coming at you.
But even as a young player, you still maintained a
level of confidence but not arrogance. How do you do
that in a position where, like I actually think the
(42:37):
Pittsburgh thing is the perfect example, Dan, where you can
shut a guy down ten different routes and then you
slip and he gets you once right, And social media
media makes you feel like you don't know what you're doing.
How do you personally maintain a proper level of self confidence.
Speaker 11 (42:55):
Yeah, I mean all about dB is confidence. Man. I
have to feel like to go out out there and
going against top level athletes and going backwards you're reading
and reacting. I mean, that's just what it is at
the end of the day. I mean, that's what makes
dB hard. But uh, you just gotta have the confidence
go out there and be the best player that you
(43:15):
could be, you know, I mean, hone in on your
technique and tape and you're gonna have short term memory
at the end of the day, you know, cornerback. You know,
it's you're gonna have your highs and lows. I mean,
you're gonna have games where you get beat ain't gonna
have your good games. And that's what it is at
the end of the day. But you just gotta stay
confident throughout the game because then that play gonna come
(43:37):
and you're gonna make a game change and play throughout
the game. So like when you when you have those games, man,
you know like, Okay, yeah, I'm gonna make a game
change and play.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
