We'll ask him about the weekend. We'll ask him about
Bob Sutton. And it was if it was Bob Sutton's
fault that both Tony Romo and Tom Brady knew what

(01:28):
Bob Sutton was doing and knew how to pick it
apart at the end of that game. Scott Brooks is
gonna be our guest Charlie Weiss is gonna be our
guest man. We got a lot to get to and uh, look,
I will give you my thoughts on the Hall of
Fame class of two thousand nineteen and why I personally
believe they continue to get it right and this idea

(01:50):
that eventually Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should get in
is absolutely wrong. We will get to that, maybe even
take a phone call or two, definitely a tweet or
a text or two at Gottlieb Show is the Twitter
handle eight seven seven ninety nine. Fox is the phone number. Um,
we got some sat stuff to talk about. As now,
the the whining continues that New Orleans and what I

(02:13):
think the New Orleans Saints should actually do right now.
But but let's talk about, you know, to the Victor's
go to the spoils. Let's let's talk about one of
the two teams, the New England Patriots. I've been married
now for eighteen and a half years. Ramos has me
beat by is it a year? Rolmost? I think a year? Yeah?

(02:33):
One year? Got married. Yeah. So Ramos has been married
for nineteen years, so he can um he can agree
with or disagree with this. John I believe has an
incredible marriage, so much so that his wife is willing
to carry and not carry another one of his children
at this late stage in his life. Or she's willing

(02:54):
to carry a child. I think it's his. I'm kidding,
of course. Anyway. The point is I think we have
I think we have pretty good relationships in terms of
standing the test of time. I have a friend who
has the same shares the same wedding anniversary as me,
and every every year on August twelve week exchange text
and it reads the same thing, which is, say whatever

(03:17):
you want about our marriages. But we hit the over right.
But there's an over under for marriages. We hit the
over So I'm eighteen years into this thing, and I
have a really good relationship with my wife. Is it
perfect now? Right? Like I've said, just yesterday, I was
on a group text with my my wife and a

(03:38):
couple of our close friends, and I texted something that yeah,
I didn't come out the way I wanted to, and
I immediately was like, oh, sorry, my bad. That wasn't
how I how I wanted to. I shouldn't have been
texting in the middle of a of a break, but
I did. And I end up not thinking I didn't
sleep on the couch, but it wasn't exactly warm and

(03:59):
fuzzy is when I was home last evening. The point
is that even the best marriages and relationships have arguments,
have disagreements, some that are going to carry a little
bit of buitsterness that goes on for a while. Just
people cohabitating, people raising children, people trying to figure out

(04:20):
finances in life, and you're gonna evolve as a person.
They're gonna evolve. My wife went from she hated social
media to every once in a while dropping in on
social media and becoming offended, to now she's completely off
of social media, with the exception of every once in
a while, I operate on social media mostly because it's

(04:42):
a great way to connect with all my friends in
and out of the the business. People i've played with, the
people I've played against, and it is part of what
I do and how we promote our show at Gottlieb Show.
And of course you get a Fox Sports Trader dot
com you can or the I Heart Radio app you
can find out how to listen to our show if
if you want to tell a friend about it. What
stay in your area or in an area you're going
to is broadcasting our show. But the point is that

(05:10):
this idea that relationships that are great don't have arguments, disagreements. Heck,
sometimes people who really care about each other Spencer like,
I'm gonna go to my mom's house and I'm gonna
go chill out or you know how many how many
of you know? Uh have a have a friend whose
wife went on a yoga retreat. Doesn't mean the yoga

(05:34):
retreat has some dude waiting for her at the you know,
in Panama. But the idea is sometimes women need a
chance to get away. Dude. Guys have guys trip? Why
do they do that? Because you know the other sex
can be really difficult. Just living with somebody for a
long time can be a pain, even if you really
like the dig that person and you've grown up together.
This's just time you're like, you know, I just need breath.

(05:57):
I bring that up because the Patriots are back in
the super Bowl, and after last year's Super Bowl, there
were articles that came out that talked about a riff
between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Here's Bill Belichick on
a Boston radio station talking about the reported tension between
him and Brady. It's been described by some people that

(06:19):
there have been issues. You know, never some of these people,
I don't know who they. I've never met him, never
talked to him. So I mean, I'm not going to
get a bunch of you know, gossip, a lot of
stuff written. You remember the piece last year that you
and Brady or however the guy. Yeah, this is Tom
Brady on on the same Boston radio station, addressing the

(06:41):
same question. You know, We've always gotten along great. We've
worked together for nineteen years. So I had the same
goals in mine for nineteen years. And he's been just
a great great mentor in my life, a great coach.
He's taught me you know more than you know anyone
ever could about the game of football. You know, I've
always just loved playing here and playing for him. He's

(07:02):
the greatest coach of all time, and we just had
some incredible moments together. I mean, it's amazing to me.
Like I actually think it's just like a marriage. My wife.
I've been We've been really lucky. My wife has two degrees.
I have one. Shill every once in a while, let
me know about it. My wife is a straight A
student for both of those degrees. But my wife takes
care of my children. She also as even though she doesn't.

(07:24):
Neither of her degrees are like interior design. She's designed
and redone my house and and or our house. Excuse me,
let's let's drop that one. Ramost make sure that one
doesn't right. Take one, Let's take two that she's designed
to redone our house and houses. She just has great,
incompactable taste. But there are times in which, kind of
like Tom Brady, she sits there and feels like she's

(07:45):
not being appreciated because you know, look, that's just the
nature of when one person works, and one person works
but doesn't have a technical like job title, per se
in domestic goddess is not something that's easy to put
on a tax return because there is no financial gain.
The gains are long term, not short term, so that

(08:11):
that's normal. It's normal when when two people work, sometimes
somebody makes more money than the other and the other
person feels like they're not getting respect within the in
the whole grand scheme of things, none of this is
bizarre to me at all, and our I think our
reaction to it is. And it's maybe because we saw

(08:31):
them as mentor and mentee, Vader and the Emperor, and
if you remember, Vader and the Emperor, Idio at the
end didn't get along. They got along. These do get
along a lot better than that, Mutt and Jeff, whatever
you think about. The more I hear about the reported

(08:51):
tension and the more I I think about it and
understand how they've been able to coexist, the more it
seems just like a marriage. It has opposite has downs,
it has times in which you know you have arguments,
you are bitter. Are you getting a divorce? No? No,

(09:14):
absolutely not. There's a difference between a dispute and argument.
And we can't do this anymore. And it's pretty obvious
that the benefits, the mutual benefits of the relationship are
so great that it's gonna stand the test of time.

(09:35):
It's gonna stand the test of time. And in the hey,
we massively overreacted to the Patriots. It wasn't just their
lack of outright speed, playmakers on defense, playmakers on offense.
It was this thought that the end was near because
Tom Brady didn't want to go to another team. He
didn't want to be told to retire, and he didn't

(09:57):
want to be pushed out because Jimmy Garoppolo had to
be had to be compensated at a level above that
of a backup quarterback. And you know what, he was right,
and so is the old man, because sometimes in arguments,
you're both right and you're both wrong at the same time.

(10:18):
And as long as you can continue talking about it,
you you the relationship can continue. When dialogue breaks down,
that's when a relationship breaks down. None of this, to
me is the least bit surprising, the least bit unnerving,
and tales of the end of the relationship between Belichick
and Brady we're greatly and completely overexaggerated. All this was

(10:43):
as a couple that you thought were together forever, and
you saw them arguing about something, You're like, whoa, they're arguing.
Maybe they're getting a divorce now they're just arguing. That
happens between two people who have been together for nineteen years.
This is the dog Got Show on Fox Sports Radio.
All right, was Bob Sutton really the cause of Kansas

(11:05):
City's defensive issues? And what about the Saints and how
they continue to complain about the missed call? Which was
a missed call and no one is disputing it. Should
we comp should we change the way replay is adjudicated
in the in the National Football Like Michael Lombardi joins

(11:26):
the show up coming next to a former general manager
in the NFL and won two Super Bowls as part
of the Patriots organization. We'll get to that up coming next,
but first, everyone knows untucked shirts. How Untucket has replaced
the sloppy smock look of an untucked dress shirt with
shurts designed to be worn untucked. A lot of people
think that untucketed shirts fits so well they must be

(11:46):
made for bodies that came out of magazine. That's untrue.
Untucked shirts fit perfectly no matter what your body type.
Tyler guys, shorter guys, thinner guys, wider guys, even long
torso guy. The Untucket designers have mastered the proportions, determine
how your shirt falls for the just right length and
neat casual look for all shapes and sizes that other

Doug ot Leap Show, Fox Sports Radio, Big News of
the day in the nash Football League is Bob Sutton
fired by the Kansas City Chiefs? Was it his fault?
I mean, Tony Romo seemed to know what was coming.
Tom Brady obviously now it was coming. Was it was
just too easy to see where the weakness was within

(13:46):
the defense. Michael Lombardi is a former general manager in
the NFL. His new book is called Gridiron Genius, A
master Class and Winning Championships and Building Dynasties in the NFL.
It's on sale now. He's also a part of three
different Super champion teams. He can download his podcast GM Street.
I'm sure he'll be out of the Super Bowl, as
I will be there next week. All week Live in Atlanta. Michael,

(14:08):
how much of the issues with the Kansas City Chiefs
were based upon the defensive coordinator? How much is based
upon the personnel? Well, I think a little bit of both.
I mean, look, you know the final drive of the game,
Bob trying to play cover two against Tom Brady, and
he drew two passes to Julian Edelman for first downs
on third and ten, and then on the one he
doubled Julian Edelman. Only true with the Gronks, so he

(14:29):
was always a day late in the dollars shot. But
I think the bigger issues in this game go back
to the Chiefs, just the way they play, the whole
style of play. Look, I've said this many times before.
You've got to play complimentary football to beat the Patriots,
and you can't be in a rush to score. You
can't be the fat guy at the buffet line who
just wants to eat. You've got to take your time.
And they get the ball with three thirty two to

(14:51):
go in the game. They're down twenty one and Andy
Reid refuses to let the clock work in his favor.
He calls two passes. The second pass gets a past
interference call, Okay, that's fine. Now we have the ball
in our own thirty seven and he calls another two passes,
and on the second past play he has the ball
at the own. It's another pass interference call. And now

(15:11):
he has the ball to Patriots forty yard line with
three oh two to go in the game, and he
still calls it incomplete pass. At some point, you have
to realize the clock and the Patriots are my opponent.
And not only did he give the Patriots the ball
back with with two minutes to go in the game,
they also had all three of their time outs. Like,
there's some theory here that's just not right, and and

(15:33):
you know, nobody understands it obviously, And he read didn't
read grid Iron Genius, because it lays it out right
there in the book. Yeah, it actually there's some parts
to it. And again, I know that the league is different,
and but something like this is kind of a Cliff
Kingsbury problem, right, and and go back, Mike Leach has
had this problem for years, which is the idea of
you run these offenses with put up a lot of numbers,

(15:55):
put up a lot of points. And I know that
the offenses are different. Michael I I'm not comparing Andrey,
but still the idea of high powered offenses that depend
upon throwing the football, and you get into a playoff
game and you can't control clock even when you have
a lead, sometimes you end up wearing your defense out there.
There are some similarities there the complementary football. It also
works in basketball, right, you gotta play the same style

(16:17):
on defense that fits with your offense, no doubt, and
the Chiefs just refused to do it. Look, the other
factor is you got to go into the game saying
to yourself, Okay, for us to win this game, we
have to have a big game from Chris Jones. We've
gotta have a big game from Dfour, we gotta have
a big game from Justin Houston. We've got to have
Travis Kelsey and Tyreek Hill make big plays. And those
five players, the top six players of the of the Chiefs,

(16:40):
ma Homes being the six, they didn't do anything. They
didn't make any contributions in the game. Now, Tyreek Hill
had one catch for forty two yards. But I was
preaching all week long, I'm betting across America on my
show there. I talked about it on my podcast. They
should have made Tyreek Hill a running back. Doug. You
you're an Oklahoma State graduate, you know how good of
a back Tyreek Hill was at Oklahoma State. He I had,

(17:02):
I had an I had a player personnel, and guy
tell me that he's the fastest player he's ever scouted,
ever used to do my scouting report on him, is
coming out at Oklahoma State before he transferred alf for
the West Alabama and to not get him and to
and to not get him the football is criminal, right,
I mean, like, but you knew he wasn't going to

(17:23):
get the ball if you lined him up at receiver
because Belichick was gonna double in the minute he got
off the bus at the stadium. There was no way
he wasn't gonna have a guy playing under him and
on top of him. You can't double Tyreek Hill in
and out. You have to double him high low high
low means you've got this guy trail him on all
the inside routes and a guy on top, so we
can't catch the ball when you double him in out.

(17:45):
Randy Moss used to just run through in and out doubles.
Nobody had him on top. That's not what he did.
And so the only way you can get him the
football is should line him up in the back stead
if you came out in eleven personnel but had Tyreek
Hills the back, one back, one tight end. Now Belichick
does he work as doubles. He's got three receivers he's
gotta handle on the field. Even if the third receiver

(18:05):
is as slow as I am, you still gotta go
cover them. But yet they don't change what they're doing.
And it was so easy to understand what they were
gonna do, but yet nobody reacted to it, and you
know that's why they lost. Meanwhile, Tom Brady is in
another Super Bowl. It's his ninth Super Bowl, and he
didn't play perfect right. Interception the first half's on him,

(18:26):
I thought. Interception the second half also on him. That
was high and hot on a bad past. Adelman a
little bit late as well. Nonetheless, I mean a couple
of championship drives from a guy who doesn't have a
ton of weaponry, and he picks Bob Sutton's defense. Apart um,
how would you as a as a guy who spent
his entire professional life around professional football and has been

(18:49):
in that Patriots organization, how would you characterize Brady's ability
to deliver again on the road at forty one years old.
I mean, but it's remarkable. But it's the team. I mean,
look the key, that's what people miss. Brady's great Brady
through an interception I got called back D four line up.
We probably wouldn't be having this conversation if D four
could just line up on sides, but we are because

(19:12):
their team is remarkable. I mean, they committed two turnovers,
had over five hundred yards of offense. That team shouldn't
even have been as close as it was. Their team's remarkable.
They don't have the best team. Everybody talked all year
about the Chiefs, the Saints, the Bears, and the Chargers,
you know, and they all have better teams than the Patriots.

(19:33):
But the Patriots play the best. The Patriots understand how
to play complimentary football. The Patriots understand how to take
away what you do well. The Patriots also understand that
getting better during the end of the year. I mean,
if you have to practice and you've got to practice
in in January and you've got to practice in December,
and now they're playing at their best, I mean, on paper,
they should have never won this game. It's not even close.

(19:55):
But they did because they understood how to play the game,
which is, you know, being a basketball guy is nine
times out of ten in single limitation. Elimination is how
you win games most of the times. The teams. You
never said, Marylyn Baltimore, it's not better than Virginia. They
just played the game that was better. And they also
and they also exposed mismatches, right, And that's the other part.

(20:16):
They exposed mismatches that you know Virginia because they had
to play two big guys. They played small and they
exposed mismatches, which is the exact same thing the Patriots
Patriots did. Um. Michael Lombardi, our guest on the Doug
Gottlieb Show, I said yesterday that, look, I would agree
it's a blown call, but um should shouldn't Sean Paytone
have run the ball first second, third down, you know

(20:39):
where the Rams had to use their time outs, kicked
the field goal, got it back to them with fifty
seconds to go, and said, all right, you know you're
gonna tire beat us. What we shrunk the clock on you?
I mean, that doesn't does shouldn't he get a little
bit more blamed? Well, I think he should. I mean, look,
let's say he called a control pass. I don't think
Drew Brees played well at all in the game. And
I mean that's really reality. He did not play well.
Drew Brees looked every to forty years old in that game.

(21:01):
You did not play to the level they needed them to,
and there was an opportunity on that third down play.
All he's gotta do is throw the ball to Michael Thomas.
It's a control pass. Look, when you're in that situation,
you say to yourself, look, we need to run or
control pass. If you've got to control pass, you like,
which really was an easy throw. You and I could
make that throw right and Thomas is gonna catch you,
the class gonna get running. It doesn't excuse the decision,

(21:24):
but you can understand what they were trying to accomplish.
If they were trying to throw a curl or trying
to score a touchdown, you can't forgive them. But they weren't.
And so yeah, I think you know, Look, the call
is a disaster. In two of the three leagues Doug,
the n C two A and Canadian Football League, that
call is overturned. But only in our league do they

(21:47):
guys keep the whistle in the mouth. So how do
you fix it? Well, I mean in the Canadian Football
League that you're allowed the challenge pass interference in in
the n C two, a helmet the helmets reviewed upstairs
and in both cases in that game it was helmet
the helmet and it was past interference, so that that

(22:08):
would have eliminated it. So if you want to challenge
past interference, to let coaches challenge it. If you're dumb
enough to challenge a completed passing a past interference call
in the first quarter of a game, then God, God,
God bless you save it for the right time. Put
the onus on the coaches to the when to use
it and when not to use it. Big point, but
to me to let that let legacies be determined. This

(22:30):
is really what's happened. I mean, Sean McVeigh is a
great coach and the Rams are a great team, but
they're going to the Super Bowl with a tainted image.
They shouldn't be there. This is a legacy. This is
financially going to impact lives. Coaches don't get bonuses because
they lost that game. The organizations don't get a chance
to go to the Super Bowl. They don't get a
chance to do something that's the most impossible thing to

(22:52):
do with because to enjoy a Super Bowl experience because
a guy couldn't make the right call. Unheard of Michael
Lombardi joining us in the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox
Sports Radio. How do the how do you think the
Rams match up of the Patriots with the two weeks
to prepare for each each side? Well, I mean, I
think it'll be a challenge for the Rams. I think
what you'll see from the Patriots is the same thing

(23:14):
we saw what they did to Patrick Mahomes. They're gonna
rush Jarreed Goff inside. And when the Saints rushed Jared
Goff inside, he was not effect When they rushed him
from the outside and he had time to throw the ball,
he was more effective. In the pain is where the
Patriots are going to try to get their game. That's
what they did to Mahomes. They rushed them straight down
the middle, forced Mahomes to back out of the pocket,
not go right or left. This challenge is Golf's not

(23:35):
going right or left, but he wants to step up.
They're gonna force him inside. You know. All that being
said is even you know the play was horrible, right,
the past interference call that was never called in the
overtime is justice egregious. We just don't talk about it, right,
I mean that call. That ball wasn't tipped, just like
Julian Elliman didn't touch that ball, and we reviewed it

(23:57):
and got the right got the right call. Up, ball
wasn't tipped. His arm was hit, but the ball wasn't tipped.
And if the ball wasn't tipped, that's past interference. So
so so um here here's my question about Brady. It's
one the season wasn't easy, but of course he's rightfully
taking a victory lap. The thing started with him beating

(24:20):
the Rams. It could end within beating. Can you see
a scenario in which they win the game and he says,
I'm good, I'm done. No, I can't see it. He
loves it too much. He loves to win. I think
I think we'll they'll do, is which typical New England.
They'll both go, they'll take about ten days off and
they'll come back. Belicheck will get his mac out and
they'll start working on next year and he'll forget to
even want anything this year. We'll just go on. They

(24:41):
just just unless something dramatically is going to change in
terms of an injury or just I can't play anymore.
It's gonna keep going until somebody tells me we can't play.
Um the uh John Gruden, who you've worked with before,
came out and said, look, I'm throwing out I'm throwing
out all the normal kind of stair creo types for
for quarterbacks because the league is changing, the league's evolving,

(25:03):
and I think that that relates to Kyler Murray, the
idea that he's too small and plays out of the
pocket too much. Do you buy that that the league
has changed that much that a five ft nine athlete
can be a starting quarterback? I don't. I mean, look,
do you buy what John says about players and then
go back and watch some of those some of those
gruten things. I mean, you have fifty quarterbacks on his team.

(25:24):
He didn't see what he did. He's the Will Rogers
of scouting. He loves every one of them. I mean, so, yeah,
of course he's gonna love Kyler Murray. Will he pick him?
Hell though he knows he can't sit back there with
a five nine quarterback that can't see over the offensive alignment.
I mean, at some point you've got to stand in
the pocket, look down this the other, make a throw
at the tight quarters. It's hard to do if if
you're five ft nine, God just didn't make you tall
enough to see it. It's gonna be a challenge, you say, well,

(25:46):
Russell Wilson, Lombardi. Russell Wilson makes most of his plays
outside the pocket when he's forced to throw it from
behind me. The same thing that Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield
was sensational this year, but really, Baker Mayfield. People didn't
pocket control Baker Mayfield as well as they should and
allow him to get out, and that's where he was dangerous.
Um who who does Antonio Brown fit with? He seems

(26:07):
to want to go to San Francisco, but it doesn't.
The money doesn't make sense considering how much they already
have in Garoppolo to have it on two offensive players,
that doesn't seem to make sense. Where does he fit well?
If you can better figure it out where he fits
in terms of his character and what you're buying into.
You want to pay a guy that much money, you know,
then you've got to make sure you understand what you're
getting into. Remember we just witnessing this in front of

(26:29):
God and everybody. It's not the most talented team that wins.
It's a team that is placed together that wins. And
that's what you better make sure you understand. Look, I

(29:49):
Doug Alive Show, Fox Sports Radio. Okay, listen, I understand
that that it was late last night for many of
you on the East Coast and frankly late on the
West coast. You know, if you've got kids and it's
it's MLK Day and you're watching ball games all day
and your kids are off school, you just put into bed.
You're like, man, it's the Lakers against the Warriors. I'm

(30:11):
not staying up. The Lakers don't have Lebron, they don't
have Rondo, they don't have Alonzo, they got no shot.
Clay Clay Thompson had ten threes, made ten of eleven threes.
I'm not gonna So what what happens in sports is
I've said this sport, what we have, we're fans deal

(30:32):
with dated information. You get a reputation, it gets cemented,
and a reputation as a player can be really hard
to escape, whether it's on the quarter, off the court, personality,
or actual performance. It is interesting that Boogie Cousins, who's
never played in the playoff game, they're playing a playoff game.

(30:56):
His teams in Sacramento did not win, coaches not fired,
and ultimately he got dealt. And the Pelicans last year,
who he played with, got better when after he got hurt.
It's important and important distinction. Now, could they have gotten
better because it allowed him to play small ball some
and Drew Holiday was outstanding at the two guards spot

(31:17):
alongside Rondo. Sure, um, But the fact is they got
better when he got hurt. He didn't play in the playoffs,
and he comes over to the Warriors and people have
lost their people lost their mind. I can't believe he
had in an All Star well, I mean, did they
had an All Star because he was the best player,
one of the best players in the league, or because

(31:37):
they needed some centers. Never been viewed as a winning player.
And he's coming off of a devastating injury. When you
suffer an Achilles tenant tear, it's a usually a year
rehab and I don't believe he's yet a year out
from it. He came back a little bit early. Most
people thought he'd be back around the All Star break,

(32:00):
which is midway through February. So a little bit of
our here's the Here's the part that I've always said,
which is, look, I think Boogie Cousins is an incredible score,
especially low post. It's not as value valuable anymore, um,
but there still is a value and kind of like
the Patriots are able to use a fullback and line

(32:24):
up and do fullback wham and blast. There's still a
value to running the football. There's a value to scoring
the low post in the playoffs. There's problem is there's
only five or ten guys in the NBA they can
actually do it, and Boogie's one of the best of them.
Now his game is also evolved. He can make some
threes as well. But but he's He's never played on
a team that was a winning team. He's never had

(32:47):
to be the set the third best player on a
team ever. And oh yeah, by the way, he if
he's on the court, the Warriors can't play like the Warriors,
which is Draymond at the five, death lineup, switch every screen.
It's really hard to play against that type of versatility.

(33:10):
If Draymond's on the court, and Boogie's on the court,
and Steph Curry's on the court. Now you have two guys.
Steph's never been able to really guard anybody, but they
can hide him. It's hard to hide two guys. Additionally,
Boogie Cousins is six ft ten two d and seventy
pounds and he's coming off the Achilles ten and tear,

(33:30):
and he looks bigger than two seventy pounds. He lacked lift,
he lacked explosiveness, he looked a little bit lost, and
he got frustrated in a blowout game against backup big guys.
I'm he's getting lit up by Zoobach who's the twenty
one year old third center on the Lakers. So here's

(33:52):
what I said. I'm willing to admit it is only
January and he's got four months to figure it out.
But we all know the Warriors bench is not as
good as it used to be. Draymond can't score, and
Boogie Cousins right now is not helping them. This idea

(34:13):
that the league is scared of Boogie, Like, no, they
actually want Boogie in the game because they in a
playoff game, they'll be able to expose his defenseive defensive
weaknesses and his need for the ball. Offensively, he hasn't
made them better yet. Now will he be better than
the backups that they had starting in his place? Probably sure,

(34:35):
Cavon Looney, of course. But will he make them better
at championship level? Very much to be determined. The problem
is we're viewing Boogie Cousins as All Star Boogie Cousins
put it, put in with four other All Stars when
Draymond is only an All Star because he plays with
the Warriors, and Boogie was only an All Star because
he was the only guy on the Sacramento Kings. And

(34:58):
now he's coming off a torn at least tendon and
he has to play a completely different role, and the
Warriors had to play completely differently than they've ever played before.

major changes to video review this offseason? I'll tell you next.

Let's get you to a game. This is game time
side on the Doug gott Leave Show. Isaac Lowen Crown

(36:28):
wins the game today. Yes, Doug, the pageantry never stops
in the world of sports. What do we got today? There?
All right? So, after all of the outcry regarding the
miss call in the NFC Championship game, the Washington Post
reports that the NFL is considering expanding what is considered

(36:48):
to be reviewable via instant replay. So what are the
chances the NFL changes the definition and expands reviewable plays.
I would say chance. Um, I don't think it's a
good idea, but I think it's a chance. Um. I
think they'll find some way to make it a coaches
challenge at some late at any juncture in the game,

(37:11):
you'll probably get one a game. Again, like no one
is talking about the law of unintended consequences. We'll talk
about at the top of the hour. But chance, we
mentioned this earlier news that broke right as the show
was getting underway. The Kansas City Chiefs today fired their
defensive coordinator, Bob Sutton. Plenty of suspects in that crime,

(37:33):
Tom Brady, d Ford, Tony Romo. But that being said,
what are the chances this change will help the Chiefs
improve next season and reach the Super Bowl? Um? I
think pretty good. Um, I would say thirty five chance,

(37:57):
which is actually a really high number. You know. Um,
everything did not go right for them should be pointed
out right. I mean, Kareem Hunt got himself cut because
of that video mid season, so you lose your starting
running back Sammy Watkins was hurt. They had other injuries.
Eric Berry was hurt most of the year. So in
spite of that, and in a competitive division and against

(38:17):
a good schedule, they had the number one seed in
the f C and they have a quarterback you think
is only going to get better, right, Like, we're okay
saying he's only going to get better, should only get better.
The defense couldn't been any worse in in the middle
and in the defensive backfield. I think there's a thirty
five percent chance that they get better they get to
a super Bowl. Yesterday on The Herd, Michael Vick said

(38:38):
the following, I think Tom retires after watching his postgame interview.
He was so lady, he was so excited, shouted out
his wife, his family. I could just tell it was
it was a big relief. If he goes in and
win as another super Bowl, that's six. That would be
six wins in nine Super Bowls. Yeah, I mean, what else?
This is the offer? I mean, I think Brady steps

(38:59):
aside and give these other guys an opportunity to to
win some because if not, he'll be forty five still
planning in this game. And that's what Michael Vick thinks,
what do you think, Doug, what are the chances Tom
Brady retires if he wins another Super Bowl Again. I'm
gonna go a little bit higher percentage than I did
with the Chiefs getting getting better. I'm gonna say probably

(39:20):
a forty percent chance for chance. I mean, there is
something to the circular nature of starting by beating the
Rams and any body beating the Rams. Um, I mean
six is We've never seen that before from an NFL quarterback. Um.
So yeah, I think there's a And I do think
he's getting pressure at home from Giselle. He does have

(39:40):
a family. At some point it is time to move on.
It was very, very difficult. On the other hand, you know,
we just talked to Michael Lombardi. He's like, I can't
see it. These guys they love to compete, and once
you say I'm done, you're done. And so I'm gonna
give sixty percent chance it doesn't happen. Chance if he
wins a Super Bowl, and there's less you know, less
than sixty percent Chancey wins the Super So if he

(40:02):
wins a zoop Bowl, calls it a day, So sixt
chance of another year of avocado ice cream and Keenowa Bowls.
Adrian Warzanowski tweeted, quote sources the Lakers maintain interest in
Carmelo Anthony, but do not want to wave a guaranteed
player to create a roster spot for him. If a
roster spot eventually opens with the Lakers, yes, they are

(40:25):
a possible destination for Anthony. Unquote what are the chances
Melo plays for the Lakers? Exactly? Maybe less chance. I
mean the whole idea, like, we don't want to rate,
we don't want to wave a guaranteed spot guy that

(40:46):
that's that's hey, We're good. They don't want to embarrass him,
they don't want to humiliate him, And honestly, I don't
think Lebron James really wants him there. He's had plenty
of opportunities to bring in Carmelo Anthony plenty in Cleveland
with the Lakers, They've had chances, and he's never He's
never made the team. I he knows, he knows, everybody

(41:07):
knows the one. I actually could see the Warriors doing it,
just because they do need some scoring off the bench.
I just I think the Lakers will be a bad
fit because then it would be a lot like when
Lebron had Dwayne Wade and he would hang out with
his boy instead of hanging out with the team. And
I've been told they have great chemistry. This is game

Show on Fox Sports Radio. Man, there's a lot to
get to. Here's a lot to get to. Uh. First,
the news of the day is that Bob Sutton is
out of a gig. Bob Sutton is the defensive coordinator

(43:16):
for the Patriots, excuse me for the formark defense quitting
for the Kansas City Chiefs. And while it does feel
a little bit of a knee jerk reaction. Hey, it
was good enough to get you to the a f
C championship game and have a lead late. Why you know,
don't you give him another shot? The fact is that

(43:37):
Bob Sutton's defense was bad for most of the season.
They had injuries, but it's also how the team was constructed. Right.
They remember they spent they spent fourteen million dollars on
Sammy Watkins. Sammy Watkins is there third best wide receiver?
Third fourteen million dollars And as Michael Lombardi joined us

(44:03):
and told us like, hey, look, some of this is
the offense, right, some of it is the offense, especially
when in the offense you gotta be able to maintain possession.
You have we I'll score points and and this is
a little bit of big twelve football. That's a little
bit of big twelve football. Look, I was three and

(44:24):
one of my picks last week, I had the I
did have the Chiefs in the over, I had the
Rams and the under. So I hit the over unders,
which I never give out over underpicks, but I just
felt strongly about them. And obviously I missed on the
on the Chiefs. I like most of America, I believe
underestimated the Patriots UM and yeah d Ford is not offside,

(44:47):
Bob Sutton still has a job. On the other hand,
if d Ford is an outside, is an offside and
they win that game in Bob Sutton has a job.
Did Bob Sutton do a great job this year? Probably not.
Is that a good defense, It's probably not. They do
have a very good defensive line player. Personnel wise, they've
done an outstanding job of of getting a really good

(45:08):
group up front. But you gotta play congruent styles. I'm
big on congruent styles in sports. You have to your
style of offense has to fit your style of defense.
If it doesn't, the whole thing is out of whack.

(45:31):
You know, you can't be a walk it up team
in basketball and try and be a full court, crazy,
helter skelter pressure defensive team. Like no, your styles have
to match, have to marry, and sometimes you just don't
have the personnel to pull off what you want to
pull off. But I do think it's really interesting how

(45:54):
Tom Brady kind of picked them apart, and I would.
I'm gonna tell you right now, Tony Romo got Bob
Sutton fired. Sorry, you got Bob Sutton fired because Tony
Romo is telling you what's coming before it's coming, and
you're sitting there going like, why don't they know that?

(46:15):
And they probably should know that. On the other hand,
there are answers to all of these problems, all of
these equations for the quarterbacks. So the idea that Tony
Romo sitt up there going, hey, the ball is going
to Gronkowski right now, like, look, they were in position
for it. They had Eric Barry. Rob Gronkowski is just bigger,
and you have a quarterback that throws it right at

(46:36):
the right, right right spot, like, and there's if you
take away that, there's a counter to it. Any well
designed offense has a counter to what you want to
take away. But Tony Romo gott fired. Don't kid yourself.
It is the power of the microphone and that when
you say what you're really thinking. Look, I'm gonna are

(47:00):
you right now? In North Carolina, they're still mad at
me and basketball because I pointed out when when Jay Right,
when Jay Rights team hit a game winning shot, when
Chris Jenkins hit that three to in the National Championship
three years ago, You guys, you remember that, I went
on TV afterwards, and I said, hey, this one's on
North Carolina staff. If you go back and look at

(47:20):
that last time out, only Roy Williams was talking in
the huddle. Now he put Bryce Johnson underneath the hoop,
which was defend to defend against a point guard, right,
Ryan Archidiacono penetrating all the way down and getting into
a layup, which is what Scotty Reynolds had done years before.
But it's the exact same play, the exact same play

(47:43):
that they ran for Scotty Reynolds that they had run.
I believe it was nine times earlier in the season,
at the end of a half, at the end of
a game, they run it. They call it Nova. It's
their game winning game. And the last option is the
trail man. If you everybody sinks in and everybody else
hit the trailman for a jump shot. And even if
you know I would have you should have that written down.

(48:04):
Here's where everybody goes you there's still a If you
have Bryce Johnson guard guard Chris Jenkins, you have you
run the risk of Ryan Archidiacono getting all the way
to the rim and getting a layup and no rim protection. Now,
is there a way to do it where Bryce Johnson should,
even though they only had a day to prepare, guard
the rim. And then as soon as he sees Jenkins

(48:25):
about to get the ball, sprint out and blocked that
shot as big as he is. Sure he was a
second or too late, and Jenkins was a little bit
deeper than you normally would be, and he hits a
bang bang three. As the buzzer expires, there's a but
he doesn't have to go all the way underneath the
hoop either. He can stand there at mid court and
just corral, corral the dribbler. The point is that there
was a there was a failure there to identify, but

(48:47):
the guys calling the game didn't point it out. They
just were reacting to the shot. And how amazing it
was that Archie Dacono read the defense properly. But you
could have gone back and during the time out said hey,
I know exactly what Nova's gonna do. This is what's
gonna happen, and here's the potential options for which is
what Romo did. Romo gotten fired because Romo made it

(49:09):
seems so easy. Man, it's so easy. They go in motion,
They're gonna go here, they do this they're gonna go there.
You do know that, Kansas City. If they play that
and take it away and know what's coming, there's a
counter to it. Any good offense is the counter. All right,
let's get to the New Orleans stuff. So, um, and look,

(49:32):
Bob Sutton's defense was terrible. Was was bad most of
the year. I think some of it is. Honestly, Eric
Barry had been hurt. Um. They spent a bunch of
money on offense. It's been a bunch of money on offense.
The offensive line was good, they spent a bunch of
money on And if you're gonna spend money in one place,
you're gonna everybody's got a budget. Everybody's got a budget.

(49:54):
And they never recovered really from the loss of Derrick Johnson.
I just didn't have great corners. And in spite of
the fact their defensive front was good. The defense is bad.
But but Romo pointing out how easy it seemed from
the booth to pick it apart, that completed the task. Um. Look,

(50:17):
there's you guys know from from Buddy cop movies. Here's
my buddy cop movies. Do we have any Yeah, they
still have Buddycopping. I guess Kevin Harts been some buddycop
movies with the rock right, but buddy cop movies would
always have good Cop, bad Cop. I do this when
I coach now with kids. I tell the parents, you'd
be good cop. I'll be bad Cup. Right. You tell
your kid how great he is, how awesome he is,

(50:39):
and I'll tell him what he needs to work on.
I'll get onto him. And even if you're mad at me,
you still be a good cop. I'll be bad Cup.
You call me, we can hash it out. Good cop
bad Cup works. And I'm watching all the rhetoric from
the New Orleans Saints from there, from their owner yesterday
releasing a statement woe is me. We want to stop

(51:00):
this from ever happening, and I I get it. Not
going to a super Bowl stinks when you feel like
you earned it, especially when the Saints and and this
is it's important to remember the Saints before Breeze got there,
they would had been to a playoffs a handful of times.
They won one playoff game. Ever, Aaron Brooks won him

(51:20):
a playoff game once. And Aaron Brooks was one of
those quarterbacks super super talented, didn't do a lot of
the work that they never achieved what they potentially could have.
They won one playoff game as a franchise before Sean
Payton and Drew Brees arrived. And now they won a
super Bowl and last year, of course, the Minnesota Miracle
and this year this, but but the Saints thing has

(51:45):
to stop. You're gonna have to the idea that there's
gonna be a class action lawsuit to overturn something and
to change the game. Like, you're gonna have to understand
that life is not fair and sports is a microcosm
of life. It's not fair. It's it's not fair that

(52:06):
the Chargers had to go on the road to the
New England Patriots after going on the road to the
Baltimore Ravens. They had a better record than the Ravens,
didn't they they did? Did they have a better record
than the Patriots? Did they? They did? They have to
go on the road they did? Why? Because of a
tiebreaker scenario with the team in their division that they

(52:26):
split with. That's not fair. Start with that as your premise.
But in the good cop, bad cop, the Saints and
especially Sean Payton, you you're gonna have to be good
cop in this thing and let the Let the fans
be fans. Let the fans be bad cop. Let the
fans have class action lawsuits and pretend like it's what

(52:46):
was me. Because you get caught up in that vortex
of what should have been, what could have been, you
will never get out of it. You will be the
guy at the bar mumbling about the ten that you
used to date back in high school. And you know,
she went and she went off to school and she
started dating this guy and that guy got married twice
over and you can't believe she should have been better
off with you, Like, hey, dude, it's been over for

(53:07):
a long time. It feels like the Saints are in
that vortex that the world is against me. We just
got screwed. We should be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. We
would win a Super Bowl, we would face Tom Brady.

(53:27):
We are the victims here. It was a blown call
and our our search. This is no different than the
n C A argument that people have all the time.
We search for perfect when we have really, really good
and perfection doesn't actually exist. It just doesn't. You're not

(53:52):
gonna satisfy the masses with replay. You're not. Don't believe me.
Give me can't sit in New England, right, each one
of those, all of those replaces they were like, you know,
on It kills all flow to the game. It kills
the whole idea of how many time outs you have left,
because what happens if you're driving down the field. This

(54:13):
happened in in in both of the games, but it
happened in the Kansas City game. You're driving down the
field and suddenly you get an artificial time out because
they can't tell whether the guy caught it or didn't
catch it. Our search for perfection when we got a really, really,
really good system in many ways, Baseball has figured this
out right, Like Baseball Institute replayed the last to do so,

(54:36):
and it took him a while. But Baseball is not
gonna do replay for balls and strikes. They're just not,
like we just can't. They're just close enough, is in
fact close enough alright? Coming up next, Wizard's head coach
Scotty Brooks joins the show. They've had a ridiculous season
in regards to injuries. No Dwight Howard, no John Wall,

(55:01):
but but they've battled their way back, battled their way
back into playoff contention in the East and what does
the East actually look like? Well, Scotty Brooks as he
joins us upcoming next, but first, using true Car, you
can easily find the car that you want. If you
use true price and True Car, you can can you

(55:23):
can avoid the confusion you encounter online by getting a
great price you can count on before you ever get
to a dealership right, so there's no haggling, no going
back and forth. The true price includes all dealer fees
and accessories, and they're even gonna show you what other
people in your area paid for the same car that
you want. Pick your car right. There are other cars
in your area, in your in the fifty mile d

(55:45):
mile two mile radius, with the exact same vehicle, the
exact same accessories, and you'll find out what they paid
for it. So you can walk in with that power.
It makes you feel confident you're certified deal and knows this,

Doug Got Leaves Show, Fox Sports Radio and always a
pleasure to have on a good friend of mine, a
guy who I idolized going up watching and play at
u C Irvine and have watched his his coaching career
as a head coach with the Oklahoma City Thunder and
now the Washington Wizards, and he joined me on the

(57:12):
podcast or this year, Scott Brooks joins us on the
Doug Gottliep Show. The Wizards are winners of two in
a row of four of their last five, and um,
when I watched the Washington watched the Pistons game the
other night, and I remember thinking, I wonder if this
in there was any scenario when we last spoke Scottie,

(57:34):
that you thought this would be your starting lineup in
a game, right that you thought there was the possibility
that this would be your starting lineup? What has been
that's been like for you? No way in heck I
would have thought that. Um, it's been a it's been
a challenging year. You know, we had a lot of
tough injury, you know, Dwight going into the summer. We

(57:55):
wanted to show up some interior defenders and we and
a rebounder and we we we have that in Dwight.
Unfortunately here basically been hurt all year and hopefully, you know,
he can come back later in the season. But right now,
Thomas Bryan has come in and stepped in. I didn't
know anything about him last year. He was cut by
the Lakers this past summer and didn't play much all

(58:18):
all last season. But having him as our starting five
is really really blossom and be a really good player.
And you know John missing. You know, even though the
John only played, he's gonna miss over fifty games or
right right at fifty games. So the thirty games that
he played, he wasn't uh the John that we all
you know love and all star John. He was banged up.

(58:38):
His bone spurn and he'll bothered him most of the year.
So just a change of things going into the season,
not expecting all this to happen. But I think we're battling.
We've won seven out of our last ten. We kind
of got a nice little groove right now. We've got
a tough one coming up against Golden State Thursday night.
But I think our guys are really playing well. Um,
but before he won seven of ten, you lost nine

(58:59):
of eleven, and you know, people are predicting gloom and doom,
and John, John shuts it down. For the year you've
actually been to like you're the only guy that's been
through this before. Like people forget your last year in
Oklahoma City. Katie was hurt everybody was hurt, right, I
mean you had patchwork lineup. How did that experience prepare
you for this? It helped a lot because one of

(59:21):
the things I always a minor players that don't give
in that just you know what, we're banged up. We
got we got an next man up mentality, and we
did that in Oklahoma. I think we end up winning
forty six games where basically everybody was hurt and we
were playing Nicholson at the three at times. But you
know what it helps. Then last year, you know, with
John missing forty one day, it's just this guy's an

(59:43):
opportunity to step up. You know, it's hard to win
in this league and went at the high level and
to get to the places that you feel like you
can get to if you don't have a healthy lineup.
But when you do have injuries, guys have to step up.
And sometimes it happened and you don't expect it, like
last season or the guy that we I didn't expect
that Thomas Satoranski would come in and play as well

(01:00:04):
as he did last year. Now he's kind of used
to that role and he's came he's coming in now
played well. Now this year it's Thomas Thomas defiant. I
didn't know anything about him, and Dwight gets hurt. He
stepped there and playing well, and you know he's one
of the best sigal percentage of not the best in
the league of making shots are right around the basket. Yeah,
it's it's a pretty remarkable. Um. Brad's a guy who

(01:00:26):
I think most people think should be an All Star,
maybe maybe as a reserve. And and Brad has I
he hasn't necessarily openly opine, but there have been people like, huh,
I wonder if he could something, could it could be
his team? Um, what's Brad Biel been like since John
went down? Since he's had to carry the load and like, look,
I mean it takes a lot of effort to to

(01:00:47):
to go get twenty five shots to night and then
defend at the other end. What's he been like? He's
been you know what, I'm impressed with him. Three years
now we've been together, and he's improved every year. I
thought he was just, you know, coming into the jobs
three years ago, I thought, you know, he was just
a score, you know, a guy that can you know,
catch and shoot, make threes and and come off the

(01:01:07):
pin downs and stuff like that. But he's he's really developed.
He's a he's a playmaker, and he's a complete basketball player.
You get the fans. He rebound, he uh, he scores,
and he sprinkles in an offense all over the floor.
It's just not a shooter and he's not driving practice.
I could play pick and roll. He's he's one of
the best two way players in the definitely an All Star.

(01:01:29):
He carried us. You know, he's had We've had games
where we we didn't we didn't play too well, but
he got us going and he's great, and he's great
in the locker room, he's great and during time outs
and he's been a tremendous leader for him team. You
know Otto Porter has missed uh, he missed uh. I
think Canada twelve games in that stretch. Now, Markeith Morris

(01:01:51):
was is out for six weeks and Brad has been
that guy that really really helped us win a lot
of these games recently. Yeah, that's got my point. I mean,
you've had the auto out, you have Mark kif oul,
do you get Dwight out? You got John wall out? Um,
I did want to ask you, like, I mean, you're coaching.
That game you guys play was Toronto. I think it
was last week, right. It was like double ot game

(01:02:12):
and they both go for like one and forty three,
and that was and I felt like like stepping up
your game and a kind of a high level game
like you know in the NBA there are certain games
are just different than others. That one felt like a
high level game, and and Brad's ability to raise his
level that night might have been the most impressive of
any of these games since John went down. Yeah, I

(01:02:35):
agreed he I thought he stepped up and I thought
he even grew up a little bit in that game.
Even though we lost the game and double overtime. It
was two high level All Stars competing at a high
level on both ends, and they both took the challenge
of guarding and making place for their team with Client
and and Brad Brad is I mean, Brad is really good.

(01:02:55):
I mean, I know this is the last thing all
start team for the first time, and there's no question
in my mind he's an All Star or a record
is not where we would like it to be. But
you know, I think we've improved and I think we
can get pretty good as the season goes along and
it's a big part of his All Star play. How
much different is the East without Lebron? In the East,

(01:03:19):
it's it's wide open, no matter what any any coach
or any players say. Lebron had had the East, you know,
for eight years in a row, and he got a
lot of players cut, a lot of coaches fired, and
he's just I mean, he's that dominant. He's he's gonna
go down. I mean, this is nothing that nobody's said.
He's gonna go down. Is one of the greatest players
to ever play in this thing. That's really impressed it

(01:03:41):
as is like you you play against Lebron. He knows
exactly what you're running. And there's times where I would
call a play knowing that we don't even have that play,
and he looked at me, you know, how to play.
I mean, that's that's how that's how smart he is.
He just knows everybody's everybody's set. But it's open. You know,
there's a lot of good teams have stepped up. Milwaukee
is stepped up, Toronto stepped up to Ladelphia, and Boston

(01:04:03):
is gonna be there, and there's gonna be Indiana's in
there and there's there's some good teams in the in
the East, and they're gonna have opportunities. Hopefully we can
get into the mixt and become a playoff team. It
runs counter to everything you're saying and everything part of
your makeup. But there's always gonna be a fan that says, like, hey,
John Walls out, Dwight Howard's out, Morris is out. Coach,

(01:04:26):
why are you trying to win games? You're better off
losing games? Right like they look and it and it's
worked Milwaukee, Milwaukee. People forget Milwaukee tanked that. That's how
they've loaded up their roster. The Sixers obviously tanked the Celtics.
You but go back in the day, they tanked every
It has worked for other people. Why not why not
explore that or actually the play younger players at the

(01:04:49):
end of games? Why why continue to try and compete? Yeah,
I just think that's how we're wired. That's how our
team is wired. Us for our players are wired and
we want to We want to with as many games.
You know, we're not healthy, but we can still compete
at a high level. And the game is about playing hard.
And if you've got talented players that don't play hard,
you're not gonna win a lot of games. But if

(01:05:10):
you've got guys that are going to compete and connected
with one another, and I think that's what we have
right now. We are connected. We're moving the ball. I
mean the last ten games, I think we're one of
the top teams in in the league and defense, and
we're one of the top team in the league in passing.
So those those two things go hand in hands success.
And I understand, you know, some fans may think that,

(01:05:30):
but it's it's about you know, you gotta do, you
gotta do what what what you feel is right, and
when our team feels is right, and that is one
game and we want to compete and we feel like
we have a chance to do that every night. You've
seen the Rockets up close. You talk about ball movement,
which you know Toronto went to that kind of last year,
trying to move the ball so doesn't get sticky. Obviously,
some of it is because of of injury, but Harden

(01:05:52):
is putting up these crazy numbers and some a portion
of it is because of pace, a portion of is
because the number of the number of threes are and
he's taken specifically portion of it's because of of his
usage rate. Um Ken, you can you play that way
and and play in the in the in the playoffs,
I mean, don't you. Don't you run the risk of

(01:06:12):
wearing your guy out because I mean he's he's carrying
so much of the load right now for one team.
I mean from outside looking in, I mean they have
to do just from all their injuries with Chris Paul out,
I mean they're built. That team has built on a
lot of good three point shooters and descenders on the wing,
with James and and Chris handling the duty of making

(01:06:35):
plays for one another. And you know, when they have
a Chris Paul healthy and James doesn't have to have
these forties and fifty point games night in the night out.
But I'll tell you what I've coached him for three years.
The guy is a competitor. He's a winner, and he
competes and he's never he's never backed down from a
sore body. He goes out there and practices every day,

(01:06:55):
and he knows that their team has banged up and
in order for them, because they were below five, in
order for them to get back into the playoffs next
he had to take his game to another level and
he's playing like an m v P again, and you
know it's it's impressive, you know, outside looking at it.
So I love watching their games, even though you know,
I know they can't do this for forever. But you know, Sames,

(01:07:15):
if anybody can't, a guy he has has a body
that could just keep playing forever and ever. And he's
he's one of those guys that he carries their team
night in the night out. I can't ask you about
a guy who plays for Duke in college because I
don't want to get you in trouble. But they've been comparison, well,
they've been comparisons made to Barkley. And if you listen
to our podcast together, you know Barkley he took you

(01:07:38):
in as a as a roommate because he thought you
were going to get cut obviously, but he's one of
your closest friends in the sport is Charles Barkley. I've
I've tried to tell people like people called in the
Round Mountain Rebound, but he was a freak athletically. You
played with Barkley during some of his peak years in Philadelphia.
What was Charles Barkley's game actually like? Well put on people.

(01:08:00):
They seemed to forget pretty easily. That guy was a
freak athlete. That guy had the best second jump that
I've ever been around. I mean he would that ball
would go up and he would get he would tip
the ball and everybody would fight for the ball. And
the next thing you know, he's up again, and while
everybody is still you know, on the floor looking up.
So you know, I got to get back to this

(01:08:21):
rebound to get the second, you know, the second chance
at it. The guy was as fast as both stars.
I mean we sprints, you have teams back then when
you're allowed to run sprints. Would on the line and
Charles will be right there with all of us most
cheeks myself. The guy was fast, He was athletic, He
had great I hand coordination, He had long arms, you know,
he just he had a knacker ball and then he

(01:08:44):
had then he was a great teammate. He was fun
to be around, and he was a great leader. And
you know what, I think people seem to forget how
good some of these older players quarter back then. And
they played every night, They played a lot of minutes,
They travel with different they were, they were tough, and
nothing against the game. Now the game is I think

(01:09:05):
is it's a beautiful, beautiful game was starting to get
become football a little bit. But now, But back then,
man Charles Barkley was one of the best players ever
played the game. No, no question it was. It was
more like I do think, and he jokes about being
fat and and you know he's an older he's an
older guy. Now he doesn't obviously move around and we
see him on the golf course with the hitch in
his swing and so people, I do think, and I

(01:09:26):
think his nickname round Man of Remoon makes you think
that he wasn't. Go back and watch remember the NBA
Superstars vhs is and you're like, oh my god, he
was a he was an absolute freak. Last thing and
I know you gotta go. Um, Alex Smith came in
your locker room yesterday. This is first real public appearance
since breaking his leg. Uh what was what was that like?
Because I mean, he's obviously a beloved figure in football.

(01:09:49):
His that didn't look great like. I mean, he was
in good spirits, but that looks like I didn't I
didn't get the chance to talk to him. But you know,
just look in that that injury and I'm just glad
he's out about and on his way to recover, and
he's he's from what I hear, is one of the
great guys in the sport and just a con tremendous competitives.

(01:10:13):
Hate to go out that way. And you know, they
brought him in this year to lead them to the playoffs,
and unfortunately he wasn't able to finish the job that
he was brought in to do. Hopefully you can bounce
back and and come back and do it again next season. Yeah. No, Listen,
there's there's some early similarities there right between you guys
and the Redskins. Right, he breaks his leg and then
his backup Colte McCoy like breaks his leg, unlike kind

(01:10:36):
of innocuous play, like a massive injuries in the defensive
side of the ball. I don't know what's going on
in d C, but guys are just guys, are just
guys just falling out, just completely falling out with injuries.
We had both both both organizations had a tough time.
But we're playing and we're playing well. So I'm looking
at the Bositi side and things are looking up right now,
and you know, we gotta we got a pretty easy

(01:10:57):
one coming up Thursday night, Golden State. You know plays
found in this the three, isn't he? Um, he had
ten last night? Like I mean, I don't. I mean,
it's just it's just I don't actually think they Hey,
mrs last one, this is the last one? What what's
the most? What's the most you ever hit in the
college game? I have forty three points. I think I

(01:11:19):
made nine three one game. Not that I think I
know exactly how I mean I made I made nine.
I don't don't give this, I think because and people
didn't know, Like you see, Irvine had a lot of studs,
and you guys used to play fast and shoot threes
before everybody else played fast and shot three. We played
modern day basketball back in the back in the eighties. Um,

(01:11:40):
who's of the three? Who's the toughest to prepare for?
As a coach of the three guys on the Golden State?
Oh man, they're so hard. I mean Curry, we that
last game we played them up in their place where
he made he made eleven shots that were nearly impossible

(01:12:04):
that you might make one in the game. He made
eleven of them. And he's almost impossible to prepare for.
Because he takes shots that you're saying, Okay, that's a
good shot for him to take him bang, it's it's
three points and then they get a turn, they get
a still and another crazy outlet pad bang another three points.

(01:12:24):
But Katie, you know I coached him for seven years
and you know he's nearly impossible to stop. Also, I
don't think you can he when he misses, it's because
he misses the ball. And nn Clay obviously he's on
a hot streak right now. So we're we have our handsful,
but we're looking forward to the challenge. Is it Is
it fair enough? Like again, I'm sorry because I know
you do have to go and we gotta go to
but but like the best way to contextualize it is

(01:12:47):
kind of what you said about Steph, which is he's changed.
There used to be this there's a good shot a
bad shot, and it's not doesn't mean you can't make it.
It's a percentage of times you make it that a
coach would say that's a good shot, that's bad shot.
He he's changed the sport because of it, because what's
a good shot for him? When he can make he's
making of his threes and everybody knows it's coming, and

(01:13:08):
a lot of them are contested. You know, he's he's
off off a crossover. Todd not to shoot off a crossover.
He can go left and go right and go catch
and shoot step back, deep, deep range. He's changed how
we view what a good shot is and what a
bad shot is based on the percentage of times he
can make shots that previously we're very very low percentage. Fair.

(01:13:28):
There's there's no that's exactly right the court. I mean,
if everybody can see the game through his eyes, we'll
see a different court. What the game and how I
used to see it and how I see it now,
I don't see it the way he sees it. But he,
I mean, he there's no there's no bad shot for him,
and I really believe that. I'm sure Coach Curtis says
the same thing. There's no bad shot. Certain guys in

(01:13:50):
the league, they can take any shot they can possibly
throw up there because there's a chance that thing is
going in. And he what he's done is amazing to
be able to change the game at the way he
has changed it. Um, I want you to walk down
to Steve and make sure you tell him when you
face the Warriors. Listen, if I played in the triangle,
if I played opposite Mike and all I had to

(01:14:11):
do is sit there and make jump shots, I would
have rings too. Just I want you to make sure
you just mentioned that Tim and tell him, then tell
m I told you to say that. Cool. Good enough, done,
That's easy. All right, we'll see at yoga. Alright, Cool,
I'll see when you're yoga. Thanks so much for joining us.
All right, man, all right, that's an must stay. That's
my man's Scotty Brooks joining us on the Doug Gottlip Show.

(01:14:32):
Let's get you to Isaac Lowen Corn. Find out what
else is going on in sports? Got Bob Sutton is
not staying in Kansas City. The Chiefs fired their defensive
coordinator earlier today. Head coach Andy Reid said in a statement, quote,
Bob played an integral role in our success over the
last six seasons. Change can be a good thing for
both parties that I believe that is the case here.
This was not an easy decision. Unquote. And NFL spokesman

(01:14:56):
says the league will look into a report that a
laser pincher was shined into Tom Brady's face during play
in the fourth quarter of the a f C Championship game.
Video from k MBC Television shows a green dot flickering
around Brady's chest, shoulders, and helmet. And again, if someone

(01:15:17):
really wanted to freak out Brady, they should have pointed
gluten at him instead of a laser pointer NBA the
Carmelo Anthony trade gluten at him. That would have really
flustered him. The Carmelo Anthony trade has now been officially
completed between the Rockets and Bulls. Anthony not expected to
play at all for the Bulls, as perhaps evidenced by

(01:15:39):
the Bull's own press release, which, rather than saying Bulls
acquired Carmelo Anthony instead says, quote Bulls complete trade with Rockets.
The Chicago Bulls have traded the draft rights of Tadja
Dragsevitch to the Houston Rockets in exchange for forward Carmelo
Anthony draft rights to John Diebler and Cash Listen and

(01:16:00):
John Diebler. I know, I mean, if you think about it,
that doesn't exactly make Deebler feel that welcome either. Well, no,
I mean they're gonna cut the Bulls are gonna cut
both of them, right, It just it's a salary cap
move about them. Yes, the NBA can be a bottom
line business to another bottom line business, the NHL. The

Doug got Leave Show, Fox Sports Radio, Oh Cole Beasley
has taken to social media. We will read that and

(01:17:47):
react upcoming, very very very very interesting. Get to that
here upcoming at the top of the hour. Cole Beasley
of the Dallas Cowboys asked on Twitter about Sean Lenihan
being let go yesterday and um, social media becomes very

(01:18:08):
very interesting every day. At this time. In the Gottlieb Show,
we like to play for you a portion of a
previous show on Fox Sports Radio Fox Sports One. We
call it now say one of the all time great
Philadelphia Eagles is Brian Westbrook. He said this on first
things first, discussing Carson Wentz and the reports saying he's

(01:18:30):
a bad teammate. Yeah, I mean, when you think about
some of the best leaders, some of the best players
in our league you're talking about it, they have egos.
Sometimes they pushed back against some of the things that
the coaches are trying to get them to do. And
that was one of my old coaches with a Scoutand
that sounds like that sounds like players that I've ever
played that. You know, I think there's a lot of
guys in the league that you can say these exact

(01:18:52):
same things about. I also think, you know, the one
thing that bothered me about the story, that's totally one thing,
was that a veteran player went to him in that
veteran players say he felt like Carson pushed them away.
The veteran player was going to Carson and say, hey,
maybe you should do things a little bit differently, maybe
you should look at it a different way. And the
veteran players seemed like he was pushed away from Carson.
Other than that, all these other things, all these other traits,

(01:19:14):
these are some of the traits of the best players
in our league. Doug Outlives Show, Fox Sports Radio. Um, look,
there is there's a leadership quotiented to being quarterback in
the National Football League. It is the most important thing.
It's one of the things that I disagree with Colin
Cowherd about regards to Baker Mayfield. I don't think that

(01:19:35):
Baker Mayfield is big enough or talented enough, uh to
be one of the all time greats. On the other hand,
what I told him then and what I'll say now
is this, You go to Oklahoma and you asked him though,
like that, dude is the best leader we've ever had.
If he said jump, we said how high? He planned
a flag in the middle of the field, we thought

(01:19:55):
it was the greatest thing ever. If he grabbed his junk,
we were all for it. Like whatever it is about Baker, guys,
he has a magnetic quality to him. It's one of
the least discussed parts about Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick was not
a good leader when he was the quarterback of the
San Francisco forty Niners. Do you remember the stories he'd

(01:20:16):
have headphones on, he was in the facility, he was
aloof He just he wasn't a connector. And maybe this
is Wentz his wake up call that however defensive Carson
Wentz maybe about however he is handling himself. There's always
an off season to prove yourself, to recommit yourself. But

(01:20:36):
if Brian Westbrook says it, and again Brian Westbrook is
not reporting it, He's more reading the report and saying,
all right, that's the possibility. And I think some of
it is understandable, some of his understandable. Not everybody is
built to have someone else replaced them and win a
Super Bowl. That is a hard thing to do. They

(01:21:00):
weren't talking about Wentz magic when he was gonna win
the m v P. Nubles like Wentz Magic folds wins
the Super Bowl and like Fool's magic folds wins a
playoff game, it's fools magic. Like he threw two pocks
picks in that playoff game, two picks. Nobody ever said
like He's like, look, if I threw two picks, they

(01:21:22):
would kill me. It would crush me. The Atlanta Falcons
had him dead to write beats. Going back to beat
Dead rights Beat last year that said, I so, I
I understand if there's a little bit of hesitance, uh,
or to to be as as gracious in private as

(01:21:44):
you are in public. When every day you have to
publicly state how great Fools is and what a great
team and it was, what a great run it is.
That's a hard thing to do. So I don't know
what's what I do know it feels like this info
came from a wide receiver that wasn't getting the ball
as much as he wanted to get the ball. And

(01:22:04):
those wide receivers, frankly, are always gonna be guys that
want the ball and think the quarterbacks the bad guy.
That's part of the job of being a quarterback is
you gotta be the bad guy sometimes. Doug Gottlieb Show
here on Fox Sports Radio, John Gruden said this, this
is really interesting. He was asked if height still matters

(01:22:26):
for quarterbacks. I used to think of that a lot
until I saw Drew Brees twice a year in Tampa.
Then I met Russell Wilson coming to North Carolina State.
Now I'm watching this kid Murray coming in Oklahoma, and
I'm putting away all the prototypes I once had. I
used to have a prototype for hand size, height, arm
strength and all that stuff. He's right, there are outliers

(01:22:48):
that are able to overcome, like, look, I made that
mistake with Steph Curry. You can't take those shots. We
just talked about that with Scott Brooks. You can listen
to that interview at Fox Sports Radio dot com. You
can't take those shots and be effective as a NBA
place you too low percentage. He's gonna be better defensive.
You gotta be more of a true point guard. Can't
turn He's a high turnover guy. But then he knocks

(01:23:10):
down eight or nine threes in a game. You're like,
I guess he can. Then he makes up for his
lack of defensive acmen with off the ball, having great
hands and awareness and getting steels and getting the ball back.
I guess you can. At Farmers, we've seen almost everything,
so we know how to cover almost anything when it's
game time. But I have an experienced player to help
you stay ahead of the game. Put their experience in
the play at Farmers dot com. Um, I wanna talk

(01:23:36):
to some Brady, some Belichick what they each said about
one other. And I want to tell you what Cole
Beasley tweeted about the Dallas Cowboys after they fired his
offensive coordinator. It's upcoming next to the Doug gotlip Show.

(01:24:21):
And we can get that Farmers thing? Tomorrow We'll be

We are Farns. Wait wait, so we'll be there. That's
what you'll be hearing when I hit my three wood
off the tea. It's undeniable that our team and fans

(01:24:42):
were unfairly deprived of that opportunity yesterday. I've been in
touch with the NFL and will aggressively pursue changes in
NFL policies to ensure that it doesn't happen to anybody else.
That was the Mrs Benson, the owner of the New
Orleans Saints. Dude, really really, are you going to log

(01:25:03):
a protest with the league. This game is under protest.
Blown calls are part of sports, man, I hate, I
hate to break it to you, Blown Carl's a part
of sports. Unfairly deprived. Okay, all right? I mean Tom

(01:25:27):
Brady was suspended four games for allegedly deflating football. Is
that there's no proof that he wanted guys to deflate,
nor did he actually deflate them himself. And when they
were reinflated, he actually played better, which is unfair and
which is fair? Right, I don't. I just here's what's

(01:25:52):
going to happen. Ramost marked the tape. Okay, January two marked,
mark the tape. They're gonna change the rule. They're gonna
make it so that judgment calls can be overturned in
some former fashion. And there will be some good from it,

(01:26:12):
and there will be some bad from it. There's something
called the law of unintended consequences. Look, the intended consequence,
intended consequence of of instant replay is to get it right,
is to get it right. The unintended consequences. Oftentimes, the

(01:26:37):
angle of the replay tells a different story than the
actual play should tell. Additionally, it ruins the viewing experience
in the stadium. Like one of the things you're gonna
run into with all these reviews. Have you ever been
to an NFL game? Which you don't in an NFL game?

(01:27:01):
Is you know that that that rules guy? I mean
we all have. We have Mike Preyrett Fox and he's
the best. Gene sterotur as cool as can be. Right,
it's cool. Cats. CBS finally got it right with Jeane Sterator.
But those guys are cool. You know what you don't
get in the stadium. You don't get Mike Preyer, and
you don't get Jeane Sterritor and don't get Dean Blandino.
So you're watching something that you have no kind of

(01:27:22):
like you're not able to go like, hold on, let
me go through my rule book here. Oh, there it is.
There's the rule. I know what it is like. You
don't know. You got one screen, one big screen. And look,
some of them are really good in some of these
new stadiums. But whatever, you can't see everything we see
at home. You're gonna stop it again, all right? Well
that changes the two minutes, row completely change it. No timeouts,

(01:27:44):
don't worry about it will be at least one or
two reviews during the drive. Makes the viewing experience hard,
changing the dynamic of the game. With time outs, you
still don't have a rules explanation. It's hard to know
in the stadium what's actually going on, what are they
actually talking about? What's taka? So long, we're gonna add
another thing you can review, all right, And look, I mean,

(01:28:07):
I'm like anybody else in baseball didn't have insurre play.
I was like, what is ridiculous? We gotta have inso replay.
But i mean, do you what's amazing about football? This
is amazing. Okay, it is a billion dollar plus enterprise,
and they can in fact correct the spots, but they

(01:28:28):
don't correct every spot, and not every spot is correct.
And there are certain plays which are really kind of unfixable, right,
Like a guy goes into a pile right around the
goal line and you're like, oh, that might be his
knee down, might be the football can't really tell, right,
So we want perfect analysis of a wide receiver and

(01:28:50):
a cornerback. And by the way, when can we start
reviewing it, Because there's a bunch of plays now where
here's what happens wide receiver runs around, pushes off and
then gets open, and then the defensive back comes in
and makes contact a second before where a half second
before the ball arrives. Have you seen We saw plays
like that between New England and Kansas City right where

(01:29:12):
Kansas City Wide receiver pushes off, gets open, and then
the defensive back closes up the space and then there's
there's there's a past interference call. How far back can
we go? Law of unintended consequence? You're going to make
the best TV sport that has ever been created. It's

(01:29:36):
the best. It's got a lot, it's got action, and
it's got pauses and then action and then pauses, and
then at the end there's furious action in that two
minute May like, Oh this is awesome. I love it.
I can't stop watching. I can't believe what they're gonna
do next. No time outs, spiked the ball, don't spike
the ball? What are you gonna like? There's all this
stuff and you're gonna completely ruin it? Mark the Tape

(01:30:00):
January Gottli predicts that football begins the process of being unwatchable,
especially within the stadium. All Right, saw this from Twitter,
love the Twitter machine. Some guy named Joe de Mayo
tweets at um um tweets at Cole Beasley um torn between.

(01:30:29):
Some guy says, uh, torn between wanting Cole Beasley to
stay in Dallas and also wanted to see him make money.
He deserves jump into a system that will utilize his skills,
hoping the Cowboys can make this both happen. Cole Beasley
said utilization is more important than money. Okay, The guy

(01:30:50):
named Joe de Mayo says, well, Scott Linahan is gone.
Here's what Cole Beasley says. Honestly, the front office pushes
who they want to at the ball too. I haven't
been a huge priority in that regard. Maybe that will change,
but I'm not sure more balls come my way in
two minute drills where nothing is planned. Well, I don't

(01:31:12):
know that that was. That was one of those You
might want to delete that tweet. I mean, it doesn't
matter once it's out there. It's out there music. How
do you think that one goes over in Dallas? Do
you think it matters? Nope, you don't think so, not
at all. Front office. The front office pushes who they
want to get the ball. I haven't been a huge

(01:31:33):
priority in that regard. Maybe that will change. I'm not sure.
Mall ball, more balls come my way in the two
minute drill where nothing is planned. Actually the place that
would be most uncomfortable be the for the wide receiver room, right,
the wide receiver room. I mean he's basically saying, like, look,
Marie Cooper and Zeki Elliott get the footballs because they
play favorites. I don't know. I just I understand you

(01:31:58):
want to have your voice be heard. I understand, and
you're frustrated. I just what exactly do you think? Like
they're gonna trade him, they're gonna cut him. I just
don't think that Cowboys are any type of position at
this point to deplete their receiving corps anymore. Yeah, but
you could make the argument that there there are other
Cole Beasley's out there, like cool that a Marie Cooper

(01:32:19):
change that franchise, whereas Cole Beasley was there before Marie
Cooper and he did not, Right, I don't think. I
don't think Cole Beasley is anything special by any means.
Beasley thinks cold Beasley is special, and co Beasley is cold.
Beasley can go and get money Elsewhere's is the assumption
you know, so Cole Beasley's a guy. He had he

(01:32:40):
did have sixty five catches this year. I just it's
one of those things where we and and and I
I honestly think, I mean, Cole Beasley is a pretty
honest fellow, right, I don't. I don't consider him to
be a liar. So he's probably, at least from his perspective,
mostly perspective, he's probably right. And he's like, look, I
caught sixty five this year. I caught, you know, thirty

(01:33:04):
six the year before, seventy five the year before that.
I haven't been utilized. I mean, he thinks he's an Edelman.
If you put me in the Patriots system, I could
be Edelman, but I'm not. He now he didn't call
out his quarterback, and he's basically said, like, hey, in
the two minutes, row Dack will throw me the football.
But it does. It is a snapshot of dysfunction, which

(01:33:27):
is I think what people think of with the New
England Patriots, right. Cole Beasley saying the organization chooses who
they want to throw too is very different from what
we heard from the New England Patriots. Right. Last year,
we had Belichick and Brady and supposedly at each other's
strokes because Brady didn't want to Garopolo to get the job.

(01:33:48):
He still want to be quarterback, and Belichick said, look,
he's just like any other player. They get old. We
want to trade him a year early or get rid
of me. You're early. That's opposed to be too late,
and we gotta have a replacement. And you have a younger,
cheaper replacement you need Jimmy Garoppolo. Here's Bill Belichick the
Boston radio station talking about the reported dysfunction between the two.

(01:34:12):
It's been described by some people that there have been
issues that have never some of these people, I don't
know who they. I've never met him, never talked to him.
So I mean, I'm not going to get a bunch
of you know, gossip, but a lot of stuff written.
You remember the piece last year that you and Brady
or never the guy? Yeah, m hm, never talked to

(01:34:34):
the guy. Here's here's Tom Brady went asked about him.
You know, we've always gotten along great. We've worked together
for nineteen years, so I had the same goals in
mind for nineteen years and he's been just a great,
great mentor in my life, a great coach. He's taught me,
you know, more than you know anyone ever could about
the game of football. You know, I've always just loved

(01:34:54):
playing here and playing for him. He's the greatest coach
of all time, and we just had some incredible moments together. Now, look,
some of that is the public face, al right. Some
of that is the public face, and some of it's
also the reality of any sort of relationship that lasts
this long, You're gonna have disputes. To me, and obviously

(01:35:18):
part of it is their success. But it feels more
like Brady and Belichick are a married couple that argue,
and people like they're getting a divorce. You're like, no,
we just argued. You know, we just argued. You're gonna
disagree over things when you're married. I know I'm married.

(01:35:38):
We've had some some knockdown not literal but more figurative
knockdown drag about arguments over things. I can't see John
Romo's arguing with anybody, but he's been married nineteen years.
I'm guessing Suzanne has won many an argument. But they've
had an argument or two. John, Have you had any
with with your wife? I mean, yes, we have had

(01:35:59):
many arguments. Yes, right, I mean that. But it's not
like Ramos and Susanne are getting divorced. You just you're
this many decisions made. There's gonna be something that you
disagree with vehemently that is affirmative. Whereas Beasley in the Cowboys,
it's not the same level investment in the relationship that
One's like they weren't really married, they were kind of

(01:36:21):
just hanging out, and Beasley will be somewhere else. It
feels it feels different. It feels different to me. And
obviously he's not a quarterback and he's not a number
one wide receiver, and he wasn't performing as well as
they would have liked, you know, in the offense until
they added to Marii Cooper, and he wants to feel
more important and he's just not coming up next. Baseball

(01:36:45):
Hall of Fame inductees will be announced later today, six
o'clock each time. So as soon as we end this show,
and I feel like as much as today is going
to be about one of the legit greats of all time,
in a hall of good, more in a hall of great,
is there's some really good that have gotten in instead

(01:37:07):
of great, Like the Hall of fames are flawed. But
I feel like after today we might be heading in
a bad direction. I'll tell you why up coming next.
But first, heading in the wrong direction in terms of
who you letting. The hall of fames not smart. You
know what else is not smart? Job boards that make

o Leaves Show, Fox Sports Radio. So the Baseball Hall
of Fame is gonna be announced. The inductees are going
to be announced um officially at six o'clock Eastern time, right,
six occ Eastern time. Okay, So, and I'm getting a

(01:39:18):
little bit of feedback Ramos in my ear in terms
of a delay. But the Baseball Hall of Fame class
is gonna be announced and Mario Rivera is going to
get in, and like Mayo, Rivera is one of those
It's easy that it's like the Jerry Rice, Lawrence Taylor,

(01:39:40):
Dion Sanders where you can you can make an argument
about other guys being the best at what they have done,
and it's a pretty good argument, right, Like who's the
best left tackle ever? Who's the best quarterback ever? Like
you can you can take I've said Brady yesterday. I mean,
if you want to go Joe Montana, four Superwls, four wins,

(01:40:02):
you go Joe Montana. If you want to go Aaron
Rodgers based upon town or whatever, like there's there there
are other avenues you can go. Jerry Rice the best
wide receiver of all time. Lawrence Taylor is the best
rush and linebacker of all time. Remember even Bill Belichick's like, dude,
somebody said Khalil Max like Lawrence Taylor, and he was
just like, please, don't never say that. Dion Sanders the

(01:40:27):
best cover corner There's never been anyone like Deon Sanders.
There have been other guys that have had a year
or two when they've Riva's Island. There's been some really
really good cornerbacks. There's never been anything like Deon Sanders,
never been anything like him, And there's never been anyone
like Mario and Rivera. Right, that's a that that's no

(01:40:51):
one's gonna argue with me, like you want to say
best picture of all time, like the best picture of
my lifetime quite frankly, honestly, Pedro Martinez the most versatile
picture clutch, picture starter reliever and oh yeah, by the way,
he's an incredible analyst, John Smoltz, You're shown he can
do him both. I mean, but but uh, Pedro Martinez

(01:41:13):
is the is the best starting picture I've ever seen.
But Mario Rivera is the best closer I've ever seen.
Marver was so good and he did with one pitch. Now,
look I have I've had back and forth with you
know the killer bees got in and everybody had their

(01:41:36):
eyebrows raised over over bag Well and you know bis Bisio,
I know he had three thousand hits for like come
on man like this hall of really really good and
really good guys and really productive that played in a
really good part for how he played, and he played
a bunch of positions and he was fine, but he
wasn't the Hall of Fame should be. If you could

(01:41:58):
restart a Hall of Fames and you only give the
best ever. Now, the problem is that some years you
wouldn't have the best ever. He's just like, hey, there
isn't anybody really worthy. And that's not how museums and
hall of fames work, right, they need a volume of
guys um and Mario Rivera for whatever reason, because because

(01:42:20):
baseball is baseball, Mario Rivera will not get a percent
of the votes. All right, we'll just not get it.
But if you look at the numbers, Bonds and Clemens
are climbing, and there's a there's a chance, there's a
chance that they eventually get in. Probably don't get in

(01:42:41):
this year. Uh Roy Holliday is is going to get
in posthumously, I think with Harold Bain's getting in. Edar
Edgar Martinez who never played in the field, like that
one's weird to me, but he'll get in. But Ry
Bonds will not and Roger Clemens will not, and they shouldn't.

(01:43:06):
Like if you've never listened to my show, I have not.
I'm willing to evolve on some things, not willing to
evolve on this one. The statement that people make, which is, hey,
Clemens and Bonds, they were Hall of famers before they
used performance enhancers. That's great, that's great. Try that argument

(01:43:27):
out with your wife, honey, listen. I was completely faithful
until I wasn't, right like I was. I was the
perfect husband until I wasn't, and then I was still,
you know, buying you a bunch of stuff, and I
was a great husband. I just happened to be, you know,
sleeping around right like. That's not the way it works.

(01:43:50):
It doesn't work that way in any profession, in any
sport anywhere. It just doesn't. And you can sit here
with the argument, well, everybody was doing it one everybody
was not doing you're making an assumption. Now, the league
they didn't They didn't test because they didn't test because

(01:44:11):
the Players Association fought them on testing, and they did,
in fact test, just the test couldn't hold them to
being suspended for it. Performers answers weren't deemed to be illegal,
the was a league fairly complicit in it, I'm sure
doesn't change from the fact that the Hall of Fame
like this is. This is just a there's a right

(01:44:32):
way and a wrong way of doing things, a right
way and a wrong way of doing things. And you
can sit here and tell me, well, it doesn't help
you hit a baseball. Okay. Every number jumped dramatically when
steroids were in baseball, and then when they started testing
they fell off a cliff dramatically. I don't doubt that

(01:44:55):
baseball is a really hard sport, really hard sport, and
you can sit here and go, well, guys were using
greenies for a long time. You know they weren't doing
They weren't hitting sixty and seventy home runs and making
hundreds of millions of dollars, ruining records that have been
set by guys before them. Baseball is about the history.
This is specific to this sport, but all sports are

(01:45:16):
the saving which is a right way and a wrong
way of doing things. And if it wasn't the wrong way,
how can we haven't heard Bonds and Clemens come out
and say, hey, this wasn't the wrong way. This was
the way in which everybody did it, and I did it,
and I just did it better than other people because
they know it was wrong. That's why they've all been
in denial about it. This well, they were Hall of

(01:45:40):
famers before. Makes it even worse. It just proves they
didn't need to they did too. Add agreed and desire
for more records and attention and to keep up with
the Jones is sorry. Everybody did not do steroids. They didn't.
They didn't. And if you want to make the well,

(01:46:01):
pictures are using too. I have no doubt the pictures
are using it. But it it helped hitters more. It
just did, you know. And you can sit there and go, well,
home run numbers are up now, but guys aren't. Guys
aren't hitting a baseball the same. They're just not. Their
approach is completely different. They strike out more, they walk more,

(01:46:21):
they hit more home runs. The analytics of baseball change
as well as they've probably changed the ball. I mean,
would you have that fourteen home runs in the World
Series game two years ago because they probably changed the ball.
And some of these parks they brought the fences in
because guys weren't hitting home runs. No one's saying fans
didn't allow it to proceed and cheer for it. But like,

(01:46:44):
are we gonna suddenly possibly what We're gonna give the
gold medal back to um? What's it Johnson? Um? Ben Johnson?
Ben Johnson gonna get the hunter meter hunter gold medal back? Now?
Why because he cheated a swoard Like, well, that's a
sports simply based upon speed, Like, no, he won when

(01:47:04):
even if other guys weren't clean, we stripped him of it,
no matter how fast he was before to get to
that point. Once he used steroids, we stopped the conversation
about being a gold medals just like once you start
using steroids, you stop the conversation about being a Hall
of Famer and you can tell me other guys and look,
I don't like Peg Rodriguez as a steroid user. He's

(01:47:25):
in it. There's other guys. Everybody suspected Pias of it.
But these are the two signature faces of guys who
mid career, or what should have been the end of
their career, starting to see the normal decline in baseball
because they're human beings and they cheated time because they
cheated the sport. And if they didn't know, if they

(01:47:47):
didn't think what they were doing was wrong. Why haven't
they copped to it? I haven't done because they knew
what they were doing was wrong. They knew that they're
artificially inflated records and the and all of a sudden,
our acceptance of it. To me, while the new voters,
it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. Let's get to UM. Let's get

(01:48:14):
to Isaac Low and Cron find out what else is
going on in sports. Eacuity got Doug. The Kansas City
Chiefs today fired defensive coordinator Bob Sutton. Head coach Andy
Reid sang in a statement, quote, Bob played an integral
role in our success over the last six seasons. Change
can be a good thing for both parties, and I
believe that is the case here. This was not an
easy decision. Unquote. John Gruden announced today the Raiders quarterbacks

(01:48:37):
coach Brian Callahan is leaving to become the offensive coordinator
for the Bengals under incoming head coach Zach Taylor. A
New Orleans area promoter has announced plans to hold a
music festival on Super Bowl Sunday called the Boycott Bowl.
A Facebook post calls it a music festival that celebrates

(01:48:57):
and benefits New Orleans musicians, chefs, bartenders, and the entire
service industry rather than the NFL. It will provide us
an opportunity to do something to celebrate our team, our city,
and our fans that we were wrongfully denied on January.
If enough people come in, the event makes any profit,
it will go to local youth sports and music programs.

(01:49:21):
Eight thousand people have already posted that they are attending.
Hopefully the Boycott Bowl will turn out more Coachella than
Fry Festival Nice NBA. The Carmelo Anthony trade has now
officially been completed between the Rockets and the Bulls. We'll
go back to Doug gottlieban ten seconds, but first a

(01:49:41):
word from farmers. From a dog accidentally flooding a living
room to a dog taking a joy ride, we've covered it.

have to go, you let us know. He's kind of
have to spend some time with us here on Fox
Sports Radio. All right, How they how they do it?
I mean I felt like as a as a fan,
that was a masterful game plan um to be so
physical in the first half. But but how are they
able with Tom Brady without really talent outside the number grade,
speed and athleticism outside the numbers to score when they

(01:50:27):
needed to score in Kansas City. See, that's what people
don't appreciate enough about Tommy and Patriots. You're basically, you know,
going with a slot receiver, a plethora of running backs
and a tight end, and that's how you're playing your
whole game. So if you think about it, it's pretty
phenomenal that, you know, the outside receivers are basically indiscriminate.

(01:50:50):
The big difference between the two teams is that, you know,
you look at Kansas Cities team, what do they have?
They have an outside receiver. Okay, they got a tight
end and and and they and they like to run
the football, and the difference is, Okay, what Belichick did
was took away the number one receiver took away the
tight end made the running game insignificant. So they they

(01:51:13):
they did it, whereas with the Chiefs didn'ts and that's
what it came down to. How but but I mean,
how couldn't Why couldn't Kansas City adjusted? Well, I mean
it's a different, different thought methodology because what Bill did
with the key point in that game was the Patriots
getting pressure up the middle and in my home space

(01:51:34):
and getting him off the spot. You know, he got
sacked four times, was running under Darrestle out of the night.
Although he had big production, he's still completed about his
passes where Tommy just methodically just does it, does his
deal between Tommy and the opfensive line, they don't get touched,
you know, he doesn't get sacked. And hey, if it

(01:51:55):
wasn't for the two interceptions, the game is not even close.
And they went for an and probably the worst call
was the fourth you know, fourth down, fourth and short
that they went forth. They just ran in the line
of scrimmage, right like, you get that one and the
game might not be close. But the end of the
first interception the first half was a bad throw. Was
a bad throw. I know he didn't see it. But
if you put it where only ground can catch it,
you're up fourteen nothing. I mean, it's pretty remarkable. They

(01:52:17):
over over overcame those two things. Um well, look at
look at this. I think they're running the clock out
of uh right before to half. And then Andy called
time out on third and five. They said, what the hell,
let's go throw it. They pick up the first down,
throw a scram pass or down there. Actually you know
they got an out go to Dorset touchdown. Instead of
it being seven up and a half, time was fourtune

(01:52:37):
and nothing. I want to let that clock run out
and been happy to go. And I would have been
happy to go in that locker room down seven at
the time. Charlie Wish is our guest on the Doug
Otlip Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Charlie, H, what
do you think the likelihood is that Tom Brady started
his career, you know started and kind of the first

(01:52:58):
thing that sure moment's career is beating the Rams and
Super Bowl. Now you play the Rams in the Super
Bowl again, you're forty one. Feels like your wife is like, hey,
that's good. What do you need? A chance that this
is his last game? I don't know, trade text with him,
text with him yesterday, doesn't it doesn't sound that way,
certainly sound that way. How how does he's not been

(01:53:20):
touched in the playoffs? I mean everybody says, well, he
just gets rid of it so quickly. Scott Dante and
does a great job with the offensive line. Okay, and
Jos Schematically, you know, works with Dante to make sure
we got they got protection schemes in place. But then Tommy,
you know, can read coverages so fast and read where

(01:53:42):
the ball is supposed to go so well. I mean
a lot of people are given Tony Romo Kumo kudos
for being able to call where the ball was going. Well,
look at any veteran, any veteran play caller or ex
quarterback that's sitting at the game, that's watching the offensive
formation and why to what they're doing on coverage can
tell you where the ball should go. I mean when

(01:54:05):
he just doesn't. When you're playing too when you're playing
too high, when you're playing two high safeties and you're
trying to play west welcome one on one, the vulnerability
of that defenses in the middle. So where is he
throwing a ball in the middle. It really didn't it
really didn't take the brain surgeon to figure it out.
One out. Yeah, it's but it's his ability to consistently

(01:54:26):
make the right read in the right throw and to
throw it on time right and doing that since he
got in the league. He's been doing that since the
second year in the league, his first year playing. He's
been able to process coverages. You know, a lot of
people can do progression, or they can do or they
can read coverage. But he's one of those rare guys

(01:54:48):
who can do both. You know, his progression based off
the coverage is just unbelievably quick. It's bone bone bone,
bone bone, and he's been able to do that since
he first out in the league. Does Mahomes have it.
I'm a big fan of ma Homes. I think that
twenty years from now, we'll be talking about my Homes

(01:55:09):
in the same light of these these Hall of Fame
guys that we're that we're watching right now. You know,
I'm not saying, you know, he's going to be the
greatest of all time, but everything the arrows pointing straight
up from all uh breeze seem to fall a little
bit off a cliff. And I get that the defensive
past interference was missed and Breeze missed that throw badly

(01:55:32):
on first down. But how much accountability should there be
Sean Payton not running the ball on first, second, and third,
you know, leaving fifty or so seconds left. I I
definitely would have gone in that direction, you know, at worse,
if worse, if you don't score and you run run
it three times, you know you're running all the clock
out and all that other stuff. But I really, I

(01:55:54):
really would have running on first down to see how
it turned out, you know, O than run fast it
on first down and then see where it goes. But
Sean's in the aggressive play caller, and he decided to
try to score on that on that play, and you
know what, it wasn't a It wasn't a very timed
out combination between the quarterback and the receiver. But you know,

(01:56:17):
you know, it's it's easy to sit there when I'm
watching the game. I'm taking and run roun run myself.
So I'm taking the way you're thinking. But you know
I'm not. I'm not calling a game. So when you're
calling a game, sometimes your thought process is different. Charlie,
great stuff, man, I know your your time is crunched
and we appreciate every moment. By the way, you can
check out Charlie Monday through Friday series x M channel.

(01:56:39):
The Great Charlie Weiss, part of a couple of Subuntuder
Bowl championship teams and a good friend of the show. Charlie,
thanks so much for joining us. All right, thanks take
care of pleasures. Mind, Charlie Weiss, Who you went up
with a guy? I mean, I I mean, honestly the
best part and I don't know music If you agree,
this is kind of what I've told people. If you've
ever sat next to Dilford or I've sat next to
Tim Hasselback, and you're sitting next to these guys that

(01:57:01):
have played quarterback, they understand. They're like, oh, here's here's
where it was supposed to go. They know it right
in real time people are Orlovsky does it for for
get up on ESPN. They know exactly where the ball
is supposed to go. The difference is, I don't think
I think Aikman does some of it. We CBS hasn't
had anybody in that chair. That's not who Phil Sims is.
That's not who's ever been encouraged to be and Romo

(01:57:25):
instinctly did it and did it correctly. So some of
it's in the prep, some of it's just in the experience.
And they got him off the field when he still,
you know, physically should be playing football still if his
body didn't let him down. Great stuff from Charlie Weiss.
Excellent job from Sydney Cass to get Charlie Weiss on
one of the all time greades. Thinks that Cowboys did
the right thing by firing Scott Linehan will tell you

(01:57:47):

Fox Swords Radio every day at this time. Every day,

(01:58:30):
at this time, we like to go through all the
stories of the day. We do so in the press
the press. Here is Isaac Loewen Kron Isaac what he
got Doug. A short time ago, the trade sending Carmelo
Anthony from the Rockets of the Bulls was officially completed
and James Harden officially reacted to the news. Today, I'm

(01:58:54):
gonna read you his quote, which I think features in
a necessary and excessive amount of the word hoop. But
listen for it. Quote. I just want to see him hoop,
see him happy, and I mean he deserves it, honestly,
like he's put so much time and effort into this
game that he should be able to hoop and still
have fun playing the game of basketball. Mellow is one

(01:59:15):
of the best to ever hoop. He loves the game
of basketball. Some guys just do it because they're gifted
or athletic, or they can shoot the basketball. There's not
that many players that like love to hoop. It kind
of sucks that it didn't work out. It is what
it is. I just hope he finds somewhere where they
can embrace him and he can still you guessed it.
Whop unquote it's over, Jenny, that was Lebron. Uh that

(01:59:38):
was Lebron. No. James Harden, Oh, James Harden. H Yeah,
I'm sorry that they got rid of you, but you
weren't good here. Like I don't. I love how nobody
wants to be the bad guy and and say, hey, Chmelo,
you can come here and take lots of shots and
play no defense when your game is is dated, right,
he's main Basically he's a rotary phone. Rotary phone gone

(02:00:04):
the way of the Dodo man. I just remember it's
not not for lack of opportunities at Oklahoma City last
year and they couldn't make it work. Now he's with
the Rockets, so it's not good teams. He's been with
bad teams and hasn't been this season and war out
coaches and worn out his welcome. Now he's been with
good teams and worn out his welcome. Dude, he didn't
even make it. He didn't even make it to the

(02:00:24):
New Year. He didn't make it a Christmas. He don't
make it a Thanksgiving. It is what it is. Enjoyed
your rotary phone analogy. These millennials will never know what
it was like to have to dial a rotary phone
back during the days when you actually needed to know
phone numbers and not just find your contact and hit send.
This from Chase good Brad, which I used to think

(02:00:47):
was a made up name, but apparently it's a real
person who covers the draft for NFL dot com. How
thorough is the background dive NFL clubs do on prospects.
Missouri order back Drew Lock was asked in an interview
about a math test he cheated on in the ninth grade. Well,

(02:01:08):
I mean if it appeared on his record, then you
you know about it. I actually don't think, right, I
have to look into that because, yeah, you're right, it
wouldn't be that impressive if he cheated and got caught.
If you cheated, if you got like an f if
you got you look, here's this is a lot like
the des Bryant, Like des Brian remember and know was it?

(02:01:29):
Jeff Ireland right supposedly asked des Bryant if his mom
was the prostitute? Right? When then then you look further
into it and you're like, well, what was the conversation.
The conversation that's another report was what did your dad
do growing up? And like, my dad was the pimp?
Would your mom do? My mom worked for my dad.
The follow up question was was your mom a prostitute? Right,
it's actually a legit question. So if it's hey, Drew,

(02:01:51):
how did you why did you get an F in
freshman math? Like that's weird? Like I got an f
IM freshman math? Like, yeah, I got caught cheating in
a That's like enough, Okay, you know, would you do
to cheat? You know, did you were you looking at
the paper? Did you have a cript sheet? You know,
like what what type of what type of cheating? In
a related story, this guarantees Drew Lock will be drafted

(02:02:13):
by the Patriots. Oh see what you did there? Isaac.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said today that the team is
still undecided on who their actual offensive play caller is
going to be and what the actual nomenclature of their
job titles will be. You have John Kittena and Kellen Moore,
no nominal offensive coordinator yet, but Jones said, quote, we're

(02:02:37):
still in the throes of evaluation. We're in no hurry.
I like the guys we have in house unquote. So
it's a game of throws for Jerry Jones san Antonio. Yeah,
it feels like they'll promote from within and maybe make
Jason Garrett's a former quarterback, actually called plays, or make
Jerry Jones himself do it, since he seems to do

(02:02:58):
everything else around there, including the GM of the team
now staying with the Cowboys Cowboy legend Hall of Famer
Emmett Smith at the Pro Bowl at a Pro Bowl
event weight in today on former offensive coordinator the Cowboys
Scott Lennahan saying that they were too predictable underneath his
tutelage quote, if that's all he's going to bring is

(02:03:20):
the intermediate passing game and not extend the file with
the quality of players that we actually have, maybe it's
the right move. The Cowboys know a lot more than
I do. Obviously, the offense is very predictable, and in
this league, when it's that predictable, it makes it very
tough on all the players. Unquote, Uh, look, I agree,
but I also think that there's a chance that Scott

(02:03:40):
Linahan was predictable because he knows the limitations of his quarterback.
We have to offer up that as the possibility quite true.
Certainly didn't have Michael Irvin and Jay Novacek to compliment
Emmett Smith in the backfield in the last couple of years.
And finally, Rams coach Sean McVeigh denying that the lack
of involvement by Todd Gurley in the NFC Championship game

(02:04:03):
was due to injury. He said, to start, Todd is
healthy and he's feeling good. He sure looked pretty healthy
on that touchdown where he ran through guys and demonstrated
some explosion, and what we know about him, I just
think I've got to get him more opportunities. Credit the
Saints defense to unquote that from Sean McVeigh. Yeah, yeah,
they won the game, right, They won the game. They

(02:04:26):
scored when they needed to. Um. Look, I think the
issue they're gonna run into is C. J. Anderson has
been better. It's been a little, you know, thunder and
lightning sort of combination. The problem is they paid Todd
Gurley all of that money, which people are lauding the plan,
but but the plan long term may really really hurt
this franchise and the short term, Dodd Gurley be fully

(02:04:47):
healthy is a dynamic weapon against that Patriots defense in
the Super Bowl. Backing out there and pressed that the
press man, we got to a lot today, all right, Patriots,
an old married couple that though they argued they were
never getting a divorce, Belichick and Brady um Cole Beasley,
I believes soon to be an ex Dallas cowboy calling

(02:05:07):
out the front office for playing favorites. That doesn't usually
go over all that. Well, what else did we get into?
But I thought Bookie Cousins looked awful last night. Doesn't
mean that what Warriors don't win. But as of now,
they got some fixing to do, and we'll be at
the Farmer's Insurance Open tomorrow. This is Doug Otlip Show
