(00:24):
But I think kind of overshadowing at all is the
upcoming offseason for Tom Brady. Let's get into it. Thanks

Doug gott Leap Show, Fox Sports Radio coming to you
live from Miami side of the Super Bowl. Super Bowl,

(01:07):
L I V I know it's fifty four. I don't
really know. L must be fifty the vs. Five. The
eye is in between, so it looks like Super Bowl
Live or live right, super Bowl fifty four Doug Gottlieb
Show brought to you by Farmers. Farmers Insurance does a
thing or two about how to save a bucker two
when you bundle home and auto. So if it's a

(01:27):
Farmers dot com or called one, Farmers get a quote
today Farmers. All right. Look, there's a lot of things
that are interesting about this super Bowl, all right, but
I don't think the Super Bowl itself is the most
interesting thing in football. I don't like it sounds crazy

(01:47):
to think about. Like, look, Pat Mahomes could become a
Super Bowl champion quarterback in only his third year in
the league and his second year as a starter. But
let's be honest, Pat Mahomes, even if it wins a Bowl,
though have become the flavor of the month in terms
of advertising. Like as of now, Pat Mahomes has not
yet made it. If he had made it, he wouldn't
have to appear in a TV commercial with Aaron Rodgers,

(02:11):
and Aaron Rodgers wouldn't have to say that's my buddy
Pat Mahomes. Everybody would know who he is. I like,
I don't know if people in America most citizens, and
I'm not talking about you as a sports fan, because
we do have this thing that we do as sports
fans where we think everybody is like us like that. Really,
we had this discussion with John Ramos. Was it last

(02:33):
week or the week before. I'm like, hey, there's three
fifty million people in the United States, you know, on
an NFL Sunday, on a on a big NFL Sunday,
million of them watch a football game. Remember, the Chiefs
haven't been involved in many of the big games, although
they were involved in the Game of the Year last
year against the Rams. So the people that the number

(02:54):
of people that have seen Pat Mahomes play football is
probably in the forty fifty million dollar for riot fifty
people variety. They'll be over a hundred thirty million people
that watch him play on Sunday. So his name will
then resonate and he may put on a show and
he may become the newest, latest, hottest, greatest, But you
know he won't be He won't be a six time champion,

(03:16):
he won't be a nine time participant in the America's
biggest sporting event. That's Tom Brady and so while Andy
Reid trying to finally climb that mountain and win a
championship is a big storyline. Or Kyle Shanahan who wants
to who could become like his dad the first father's
son to ever win Super Bowls. Or Kyle Shanahan to

(03:37):
eradicate the demons from the three uh collapse lead and
then collapse against the Patriots when he was with the
Atlanta Falcons, like that could be intrigued. Jimmy Garoppolo, who
was the heir apparent in New England, traded for a
second round pick in an absolute gift to be sent
out across the country. Like John Lynch, a former great

(04:00):
players should be a Hall of Famer and you know,
with no experience becoming an elite front office guy when
this team was handpicked by John Lynch and there might
be the most talented team in the league. Like Tyreek
Hill obviously nearly didn't play football this year, Like we
forget last offseason was the tape with Tyreek Hill where
he said some crazy stuff to his longtime girlfriend Tyreek Hill,

(04:24):
who had the domestic battery charge against him when he
was at mild moder Oklaman State had to leave and
then got underdrafted because of that. The fastest player in
the league literally didn't play this year. Like all of
that stuff. Those are amazing storylines, but they paid in
comparison to the one I'm about to tell you about.
Tom Brady, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady who became has become

(04:45):
a staple of the Super Bowl. Tom Brady has been
in the Super Bowl as many of the times he's
not been in the Super Bowl in the last eighteen years.
Think about that Super Bowl sudden if you're a guy
that or you have your wife or your uncle or
you know, there's people just like not into sports, but
they they'll only watch the Super Bowl. They know who

(05:06):
Tom Brady is because he's been on half the times
in the last twenty years. It's crazy. And here's the thing.
Here's the amazing thing. His sale is on the brand.
His sale is on the winning. He wants to be
compensated at the top of the market. Who wouldn't. I mean,

(05:26):
he's got he's got Odell Beckham Jr. Handing him cleats
with goat hair on him. He's got the m v
P of the league. Lamar Jackson calling him the goat
when he shakes his hand. Rob Gronkowski, who works first
at Fox's long time tight end, said yesterday he's earned
the right to look around. He's earned that right he has.

(05:50):
But but here's the harsh reality right in the business
of sports. Could you sell tickets? Could the Chargers use
him to sell tickets in the new stadium? Sure? And
could they make up for uh for you know, losses
by having Tom Brady? I guess. But in the NFL,
you don't generally get paid for how many seats you

(06:11):
feel you get paid. It is a as Tony Romo
described it the day he announced his retirement from the
Dallas Cowboys, football is a meritocracy. You earn it based
upon merit. You don't get paid for past success. You
get paid for what you can do. I think one

(06:31):
of the reasons that we as the true reason we
love football. We like the contact, we like the team
element to it without betting on it, right it doesn't
like betting on it. We love knowing it's there for us.
On Sunday, if you go to church, you don't go
to church, you flip on a TV and there's the games,
the logos, the helmets, that all of that, But I
also think that we love, even though there's more guaranteed

(06:54):
money than football players and our agents would lead you
to believe. We love the idea that when you stink,
you can get cut, because that's more real, like the
Major League Baseball thirteen year Bryce Harper contract. Like you
give me a thirteen year contract, there are gonna be
days in which I mail it in what are you
gonna do? Cut me? In the NFL? The answer is yep.

(07:16):
But if football is truly a meritocracy, Tom Brady is
not one of the top five, let alone top ten
quarterbacks currently in the NFL. And so the idea I
want to get paid thirty million dollars a year, I
think is so outlandish, so ridiculous. I can only see

(07:38):
a desperate team doing it. And if a desperate team
is willing to pay Tom Brady, that's off brand for him.
His brand has been about winning and longevity. Winning and longevity, consistency,
and to change jobs, especially to another organization which has

(08:01):
not won as consistently, goes against that. Right. The idea
that they'll definitely win seems far fetched because no one
has been able to consistently win in the NFL over
the last twenty years, with the exception of the Patriots,
that seems far fetched. So I feel like it's a

(08:25):
bad bluff to believe. As they said in Princess Bride,
it's a bad bluff because who's gonna pay thirty million
dollars for Tom Brady? Where is Tom Brady worth thirty
million dollars? You are worth what someone is willing to pay,
not what the comps say, not when Aaron Rodgers like

(08:47):
you can tell me that Aaron Rodgers isn't. But Aaron
Rodgers still in the prime of his career, and maybe
Green Bay slightly overpaid. There are plenty of other options,
none as decorated, none as successful, none as regal as
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady. But maybe all of them are

(09:08):
actually better current players than Tom Brady. So you're asking
the Patriots to overpay for a player that they've seen
his skills deteriorate because he had past success with them.
That is the opposite of what the Patriots have done
with everybody else. But the last time this happened, the

(09:32):
owner over ruled Belichick. They traded Jimmy g and once
you know it, Jimmy G is playing on Sunday. Do
you think Bill Belichick's walking around with that? I was right, smile.
I do. Do you think he has that in his
back pocket for this negotiation? I do. Do you think
Tom Brady is leaving? I don't, But I also don't

(09:54):
think he's getting top dollar because at three years old
in then National Football League, based upon how he's played
over the past two years, especially late in the season
when you start to get tired, he's worth it. You
don't in the NFL get paid on past success. It

(10:14):
is the ultimate meritocracy. What are you worth based upon
what can you produce? All Right? Coming up next, I'm
gonna ask Shannon Sharp, another Hall of Famer, Okay, Fox
NFL analyst and co host of Undisputed, what does he
think Tom Brady should do next season? And I'll ask
him about the comparisons I have Pat Mahomes to John

(10:38):
Elway early the first two circles that John Elway went.

Skip Bayliss every morning on Fox Sports one. Get it

up until noon UM and then of course in the

(11:22):
West coast at six thirty Eastern time up until nine
you turn on FS one and of course you can
hear it on satellite radio as well. Shannon Sharp, the
Hall of Famer, joins us on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
I'm I'm I'm fascinated by this from your perspective when
the show first started, right like you're working with Skip,
You guys had a relationship and everybody was a little
bit of a leap of faith whether or not it

(11:43):
would hit. I would guess now that was walking out
the last couple of days seeing and look, there's been
other things, whether it's you know Lebron tweeting about the show,
and other other superstars who why in the sport, which
is what kind of we don't necessarily do it for
our managers, right, you want people in your sports to respect, Yes,

(12:03):
what you do and you know you're talking about the
hand and all the other stuff like every that it
has become a thing. But does it feel different and
bigger with the crowds that you've gotten this week? Absolutely?
Absolutely and too and and it it resonates when they
call you unc and and and and because it lets
you know that they're watching um and even even Doug

(12:24):
even athletes, uh D, Wade, Lebron, all these guys football players,
they call me unky, they I mean and so and
for it gives me. It gives me great when I
say something and and Undisputed tweets it, you know, puts
it out on I g or tweets it out and
I see some of these athletes like it, I'm doing

(12:46):
something okay, Yes, Um. The other thing that you've done,
which I you know and I know you're here for
you have an energy somethingment which everybody always asks like
how does Shannon Sharp do what he does? How do
you guys get out of those guys get up so early?
And bring the energy you bring on a daily basis,
but you look like you could still play right. And

(13:07):
we lost Kobe. And I think there's a lot of reasons.
I think his daughter and coaching basketball, and he had
he had softened a ton. There's a lot of reasons
that Kobe was so turned from a polarizing figure to
a beloved figure post career. But but I think another
part of the one of the reasons that people are
so stunned by it was he looked like he could

(13:27):
still play right. There are even people that are like, man,
Kobe should get on this Lebron thing and company is like, man,
I cannot play anymore. I play basketball. Um, when let
me start with you, how do you do it? Like
you haven't played, but you played an incredibly violent sport,
one that ended your your brother was a superstar into
his career. To really, how have you done this where
you're in as good as shape as any human being

(13:48):
on earth? Because because I've always enjoyed working out, and
I looked at it like football is what they paid
before I worked out on my own, and it just
so happened that they coincided that the better shape I
got in, the better I could play. And so for
me is that I was always going to look in

(14:09):
a certain way. And everybody always told me, Doug, is
that once you're done you watch, You're not gonna want
to work out. You're gonna eat whatever you want to eat.
And I tried it. I mean, for me during this
I've always once the season was Overdug, I was like, Okay,
I would eat whatever I want to eat for a
month that would last two days, and I would pick
right back up the habits that had all season long.
And once I retired, I was like, you know what

(14:31):
my body will tell me when I want to work out.
I was like, I'm gonna take as much time as
I want. I'm not working out if I work out,
you know, if I miss a month, two months, I
can't do it. I can't do it. You feel you
feel a must, you don't I do. I do. It's
it's a it's a part of me and for me.
You know, my grandfather used to always tell my brother,
now he's his son, never mistake hard work for habit.
He said, a lot of times people do things over

(14:52):
and over and think they're working hard. A lot of
times people go to the gym and they think they're
working hard, and then you just go to the gym
every day because you built up a habit of going
to the gym, you're not working. You fooling yourself. But
for me to see, uh how I look now in
my clothes and I can steal Actually, I'm i'man you know.
As far as cardiovascular, I'm probably in better shape than

(15:13):
I've been in my life because that's mainly what I
do is a lot of cardio. I lift weights. Uh
do cross fitting things? Oh yeah, I lift weights. I
got I have to. I do push up? Yeah, yeah,
I don't. I don't lift is is heavy. At one
early in August and September, I was looking at I
was lifting and I said, you know what I want

(15:35):
to see if I can get back to bench five
hundred And then my shoulder started to herd and I
was like, Nah, what do I need? Do I really
need to bench five hundred pounds to debate scale? It's
not like we gonna have a bitch press competition at
the end of the show one day. No. But but
for me and and I think the thing is what

(15:55):
with with Kobe Doug. We saw him come in as
a seventeen year old kid, saw him win titles, become
a husband, become a father, played twenty years in one organization,
transition to a different career, and it looks like his
second career was gonna be equally as successful as his
first career. It's kind of like Michael Jackson the reason
why we just didn't start. Like in Michael Jackson when
he did Thriller. We remember when the Jackson five of

(16:17):
the little kid, and we watched him grow up to
become the king of pop. When we watched Kobe become
a sixteen seventeen year old kid become one of the
greatest players of all time. We watched that happened, That
happened on our watched and so and for that to
happen and to see Kobe had all of a sudden,
he had started to get out more. We had started
to see him more at the State at Staples. We

(16:39):
had started to see him more with with his daughter
at games, at w NBA games. And Snoop said something
very interesting today. He said, l A, I was waiting
for Kobe to say it was okay to embrace Lebron.
He did it. Yeah, it's it's it's so I don't
know if it's ironic. At the night that he passed

(17:02):
Kobe and next day, the next day, he sent that
tweet out saying, keep this thing going. And it's it's
just doesn't it, Doug. It doesn't seem because our great athletes,
we don't expect him to die like this. We expect
him to live along time. Gett old go to sleep

(17:23):
one night and not wake up, not tragically die in
a helicopter. And like I said, I don't remember it,
but Roberto Clemente died tragically in a play delivering goods
to There was Jose Fernandez who played from Marlin. Of course,
big huge in the Cuban community, and he died. He died.
I would like in it. And look, I grew up
in l A my fresh year in high school. My

(17:45):
coach Tom mc CLESSI called us all in. He said, guys,
Magic Can announced later today that he has HIV. H
ivy leads to age. He's going He's going to die.
That's what he told him. That was the last time
that an immortal athlete, somebody views an immortal. I thought
I was told he was gonna die. Now Magic Crazy
is still alive and looks incredibly healthy at his age.

(18:07):
But that was the last time and it was ironically
Los Angeles. But we've never had an athlete this big
with the in the social media as because think about
it and he and he's a complex but it's a
complex story as well. And we got we got tennis guys,
Carrogoes coming out there to Australian Open innate Jersey. We
gotten rough in the doll we're talking about Novak Djokovic.

(18:28):
You see neymar you see Christiano Ronaldo. We've never seen
an apolete have discount of touch that died so tragically.
Now he was. He was an amazing a lot like
you in that um indefatigable right, tireless and up in
the middle of the night working out thinking about his
next thing, but also a massive texture of people late

(18:50):
at night. And you know, he started playing tennant like
he and I were supposed to play tennis, because he
started playing tennis and getting good at it. But he
started playing tennis because he was falling around these guys
and he just fly adn't show up in a match.
He got into soccer, he flying show up at a
match and the people, the mount of the volume of
people he touched this really can you believe that? And
everybody said, well, I started playing basketball, or I started

(19:12):
playing football, or I took that mentality because Kobe. I
saw Kobe shoot free throws with a torn achilles, and
so I figured, if I got to the torn achiles,
I need to walk off the Fieldcause if Kobe can
shoot free throws, I can clearly surely walk off the field.
Uh you know. I I talked to him, um, had
a conversation with him at the Icon Awards in February
to be two years and I like, Kobe, you seem

(19:32):
so content. I mean, how because most athletes struggle, especially
the really great ones. You are an all time great.
You devoted all this time, he says, Now all my
time is devoted. He said, I still have the same determination,
but it's just on the creative side. So now I
want to write and tell stories. It's just not dribbling
the basketball and putting a basketball in the who yeah,

(19:54):
he he It's it's fascinating told you that because he
was telling me about how, like when he was in school,
like was what he loved doing the most, Like people
thought it was just about basketball, played soccer. He's like,
I love writing and telling stories, and that was what
what he focused on. Um, when I ask you really
quickly about the game. Shannon Sharp joining us in the
Doug Gotlip Show Hall of Famer co host of Undisputed,

(20:15):
what you see every morning on Fox Sports one, Pat Mahomes,
there's a lot of people who they try and find guys.
He's like, there's is there some Elway to him? Yeah?
He has the armed talent, the ability to throw the
ball sixty seventy yards. That's like John, Um the I
don't know if he can spin it like a marino
and uh and Aaron Rodgers his ability to throw the

(20:38):
ball on the move accurately. It's like Aaron Rodgers. But
you see, we take bits and pieces. He's one guy.
We're taking the bits and pieces. So when you were
with when you were with Lway though, but I remember
Elway the early Alway before you, Right, he was super
mobile there, but not not like this guy. No, he's
way He's way more mobile than Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Yeah, Uh,

(21:01):
John didn't run as much as he got older. But
when John was this age, John was way more old globile.
They used to look, they used to you know, the
throwback to the quarterback. John caught a bunch of those.
They're not running to throwback to Patrick Patrick, ball to
Patrick Mahomes. But I've never seen anybody the the ability
he has to not only throw the ball with accuracy,

(21:25):
to throw the ball with distance. See a lot of
guys can throw the ball from the plot pocket, clean pocket.
But his ability to throw the ball on the move
and throw at fifty sixty yards, to throw the ball
with accuracy on the sidelines, it's second to none. Um,
you wanted to sing three times. You're in Pro Football
Hall of Fame. You've obviously achieved an incredible amount of

(21:46):
post career success. But the the pinnacle is the Super Bowl.
It's America's biggest sporting effect. What is it actually feel like?
To win? It changes your life because now people address
you as super Bowl, you know, and and as the
more accolades come, you know, eventually if you're approach enough
to meet go to the Hall of Fame. People don't

(22:08):
mention super Bowls nearly as uh as much because the
Hall of Fame is the crescendo of the of the sport. Um.
But what I told the guys that when we come
here to look the Super Bowl. The game, it's for us.
The festivities is for everyone that's not involved in the game.
So you need to understand. Okay, what do you you

(22:30):
you you you want to get chronicle now they're gonna
chronicle this game. You want to get chronicle as a
winner or chronicle as a loser, because they're gonna put
this down. There's gonna this down in the record busk
and it's gonna be here forever. So how do you
want to be remembered? Just understand the festivities, the parties,
that's not for you. We got an event for us.
It's called the super Bowl, not super Bowl festivities. Super

(22:52):
Bowl that's for us. And so uh, I was very fortunate.
We had two different approaches. Mike had one approach. I
am billy, who's my coaching in Baltimore had another. We
didn't have curfew, we didn't have room Jack. He trusted us.
Now I'm not so sure. I know I was in
my room on a nightly basis. I can't assure you
that everyone else was weren't in their rooms. But Johns

(23:17):
can't beat us if we didn't if they didn't get
a scooping score, they didn't get a pick six after
looking at them, I'm like, how are they gonna move
the ball? I'm like, they can't run it. If you
can't run it, now you can't play action us to
get us to step up. And I said, were just
too physical for him. And so there's there's nothing. There's

(23:40):
nothing like that winning that game, because if you look,
there are a lot of big the dayton Look we
have Daytona on our network, and the World Series and
the NBA Finals. Nothing like nothing. Um. I mentioned the
amount of energy. Um, how do you like outside of
just working out, how do you supplement your your diet
which is important to you to to maintain this amazing

(24:01):
level of energy. Well, I do eat healthy. Um, so
don't don't don't let people think I just take tru
Nigen and all of a sudden, that's the magic cure.
You have to eat healthy and I do eat healthy. Um.
My diet mining can consist of chicken, turkey, bison, brown rice,
sweet potato, and broccoli. That's what my diet mainly consists
of oatmeal and egg whites. Because you want follow me
on Instagram, I post the same thing and people ask me, Doug,

(24:23):
do you eat the same thing. I've been eating egg
whites and oatmeals every morning Monday through Friday for twenty
seven years. So yes, I do eat the same thing,
but I started taking through now you're like I said
about fifteen sixteen months ago because I needed next some energy,
and uh it's been. It's been unbelievable for me. And
with a sense, with a sensible diet and this product,

(24:44):
I believe you can get the same benefits that I got.
I'm not gonna say you're gonna look like me because
you're not gonna lift the weights the amount of weight
that I live, but you will have the amount of
energy that I have, really out of a bench press competition.
He's the one and only Hall of Famer. Of course,
you see him throughout the weekend and all year on
Fox Sports One Undisputed every morning Eastern up until noon,

(25:08):
the Great Shannon Sharp. Shannon, thanks so much. Be sure
to catch the live edition of The Doug Gottlieb Show
weekdays at three pm Easter noon Pacific. I go on
his show once twice a week. I guess host for
him when he's off gallivanting around the country or skiing
somewhere in Utah. He's uncle calling too many of you.
He's an incredible teammate and friend to those of us

(25:29):
here in Fox Sports Radio. He's calling coward, he joins
us here live at radio Row. Uh, last time Super
Bowls in Miami, Yes, you survive a vicious bird attack,
and like my correct it was true. It was back then.
He didn't have simulcasts, which is a little bit more
imperative now, but back then he just said radio right,
and uh like this just slumming it like us. I'm sorry,

(25:52):
Oh your your your little show is cute. So it
was me doing the show and I don't even think
I had an update person and uh it was a
ad ad Yeah, smart guy. And we were doing it
on in this like Lincoln Lincoln Road or something basically
Lincoln Road mall. And I'm doing the show, Doug, and

(26:14):
it's outdoors and I had chosen outdoors. They asked me
if I wanted to do radio road. I said that
put me amongst the people. It's beautiful outside, golf shirt on,
so you know, like when you do radio. Halfway through
the show, I'm starving, so they get me a muffin
from a Starbucks. So I take a bite of the
muffin and I put it down, and I'm in the
middle of the next topic, and I can see something

(26:35):
heading towards me from about thirty yards out with wings.
It is a giant like anaconda. It's a it's a giant. Okay,
it was like that. It was a it was Tara dacty. Okay.
And it swooped in and grabbed the muffin and went
right between Chad and I. You know, I'm on the
air live. Uh did not swear. We started laughing. We

(26:59):
couldn't stop laughing, like we just didn't. I mean, first
of all, I think the San Diego Zoo has this,
like there's certain zoos like they have it where you
go to the stand and buy a hot dog and
animals swoop by you or something. So it's the only
time I've been on the air and been attacked. Uh,
that was the last time I was in Miami. I
do think, you know how malredy grows in the same city.
New Year's Eve celebrations in New York, Grammys in the

(27:21):
same city. I would put the super Bowl in Miami.
I'm okay with that too. Miami in l a back
and forth and and honestly, and I know it's going
to be in l A. Um, I don't even know
if l A is as good as spot as this is.
And I could pitch you on what I think. We're
the same thinking. In addition to the fact it's multicultural.
We got really good food, it does kind of feel
like you're in the resort and you're kind of secluded

(27:41):
because South Beach it's a little island, right Like, I
know there's other stuff that goes on the whole other city,
but it doesn't exist for right now. And it's eighty. Yeah,
It's like, I mean, people think, oh, Dallas, Dallas is
forty degrees and fifty two l A right now sixty six,
it's eighty. You know, it's perfect. Look, air Zona I
thought was close. The problem of the Arizona is Scottsdale

(28:03):
is so spread out. Stadium doesn't really matter anymore, you know,
I think it will in l A because NFL owns
part of the property. You know. But I'm I'm with you.
I like, I even think everyone says like New Orleans
noorals like did you go out and have a good
time in Miami? Just as much New Orleans The difference
as you got the beach, the differences and eighty degrees. Yeah, yeah,

(28:25):
this is an interesting week. You always every time I
hang with you, you give me kind of some food
for thought for me. You know, Kobe dying was one thing.
I had gotten a friendship relationship with him a little bit,
and I know so many other people that were on
that that helicopter, but also kind of dealing with my
thirteen year old daughter dealing with death for the first

(28:46):
time of somebody her age. Um. I like, one of
the things I don't know if people know enough about you,
is you do give great kind of sage, wisdom and advice.
If you or me, how would you handle with my
thirteen year old daughter. Well, my daughter texted me and
she was crying, and she's not a big sports fan. Um,
who's an amazing follow on Twitter, by the way, has

(29:07):
a hundred thousand followers. Now, yeah, she she's you know,
and I've told her before I'm not a helicopter parent.
You're gonna misstep. I said, you know, you gotta be careful,
stay out of politics, stay out of racial discussions, and
don't sexualize your Twitter account. You know. But you know,
I'm a dad, So I'm like, go out have fun.
You're gonna make missteps, but I'm not here to helicopter.
You're gonna you're gonna screw up. Um anyway, so you know,

(29:29):
she she texted me and she was crying, and UM,
you know, I just you know, it's it's almost a
cliche now, like and my wife's really good at this. Um,
you got to really live in the day, like when
I I've never been somebody. Um, I don't like presents.
Christmas was always hard for me. I feel awkward, like
I can go buy what I want even when I

(29:50):
didn't have any money. Um, I'm not a good gift
accept or. I'd better give people stuff than get it.
And I don't know why that it is. And you know,
go to Dr Phils someday. But um, and I've never
been before I met my wife. Um, you know, I
was always big picture getting to a place, Um, get
to the destination. And my wife's much more about the journey.

(30:12):
And I, you know, and really good about that, like
live in the moment, and you know when you see
something like Kobe. And for the record, Kobe did live
in the moment and had big, big picture vision. I
mean he had both. But I think, Um, when I
think about Kobe. It was for forty one years old,
a life extraordinarily lived. Um, but we don't like stuff

(30:34):
taken from us when we're eight eighteen, and we don't.
We didn't like Kobe taken from us, like we weren't
done with Kobe. Like I liked Kobe more in his
last four years as his skills diminished. He was more human.
He let me in. And it's like the lesson. If
there's a lesson with Kobe, the more you give of yourself,

(30:55):
the more we connect with you. Kobe at his best
was a little little loose, often distant. Wasn't a little loof,
He was a lot of loof. He wasn't well liked.
He was respected, always respected, but he wasn't well liked.
As he aged, he was less productive as a player,
but more human and vulnerable. And I felt a real
connection to him, Like I really liked the daughter, I

(31:17):
like the oscars, I like So it's it's the life lesson,
I would say, Man, I think his men, a lot
of us have a body armor and a shield up right,
We've got to be strong. We can't cry. And I
you know, I said on the air Monday, cry cry
this one out there I wasn't. I mean, Michael Jackson
was great, but I saw people cry when Michael left,

(31:39):
and I didn't get it. But as I have aged
Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Kobe, you don't have to explain it.
He touched you. You can you can have I here's
the difference though. Okay, Whitney, we saw, like those of
us who remember seeing the national anthem in one right,
we saw the decline. Because we saw the decline in
Michael Jackson. He didn't even look like the same person.

(32:02):
Kobe was sudden Kobe was. He looked like the same
Kobe Bryant we had seen play like literally, he hadn't changed.
He was in great shape, and so so in our minds,
you know, we we always build up sports figures to
be immortals. Thought he is immortal. And then there's the
Nick Right had that great stat which is like, of
of the m v ps in the history of the NBA,

(32:23):
only three now are not still with us. Like NBA
players don't die, They live a long time and build
us still alive. You know, it's it's funny you say
that because still alive. It's Oscar Roberts still alive. Yeah,
like it's I've seen. The first game I ever watched
was Wilt Chamberlain Lakers nineteen seventy two, so that's kind
of for me. The Super Bowl with the Dolphins and

(32:43):
the Redskins is the beginning of my sports viewing. It
sounds so old, like seventy two. I was a little kid,
you know, however old I am at them about eight
years old, black and white TV in my bedroom. I
was either gonna be a new a weather caster because
I love the weather. My dad bought me a weather
I love the weather, and I have sports. A neighbor
came over, Jeff Cooney. He was a new in the neighborhood,
and after the second day, he goes, I think you're

(33:04):
way more into sports than weather, because that's all we've
talked about for two days. So um, that was the
beginning of my sports And I've seen everybody except Sandy
Kofax that I wanted to see, Oscar Robertson and Sandy Kofax.
I saw everybody else. Mickey mantled, but I don't have,
you know, West Coast guy, not an East Coast guy.
So I feel like I'm so lucky as a sportscaster
as a human. I've really lived through everything. And Kobe

(33:28):
is you know, he's you know, Doug, you and I
talked about this. There's a lot of great NBA players.
There's about nine that have really mattered. I mean, Lebron,
Michael Magic, Shaq, Kobe, Steph. We lost one of them.
And and and he was incredibly likable at the end.
He but and but the and the story is incredibly
complex to right, like the relationship with his dad getting married.

(33:50):
His dad's not at the debt mom dad wedding. Right,
there was the breakup with Shack. There's obviously Denver, Colorado,
and uh, there was so many and you know, shot
Gun Phil gone, Phil comes back, pau Gasol the you know,
and then the contract that he got after tearing his
achilles tended, which really ruined the Lakers chances. And it's

(34:10):
a lot like it's kind of like the Brady thing
a little bit. Right, Well, you're getting paid for your
past excellence, but it ends up handcuffing the team to
going out and getting other players. Um, which is interesting
because I started by talking about Brady, like I get
that he may have been worth it because of what
he's achieved, but like Tom Brady's on the top five,
top ten quarterback right now, and so you're left with

(34:30):
he's like, he's holding a gun to the head of
the page. What are they what are they gonna do?
The differences? I would have paid Kobe at the end
because Kobe sold seats. My classic example, and my daughter
comes to me Kobe's last game, She goes, can you
get tickets? I said, well, it's tomorrow, it's a big game.
It's a little late. I'm like, honey, it's Kobe Bryants
last game, and so I need a little heads up

(34:51):
on that. It's not the Nuggets in January. And so
but I would have paid it for Kobe because Time
Warner at the time. So listen, got a lot of
money here, I understand, But you couldn't win because nobody
wanted to play with him. If you forget no one
wanted to play with Coke, you weren't gonna be a
championship team anyway. The Lakers are like, we need the
TV contract now. If you're a champion like New England

(35:13):
right now, their thing is we ain't that far. We're
getting our kicker back, our center back, and we need
a tight end. So their thing is Tom could get
in the way of championships. Kobe wasn't getting in the
way of them. So I understood. I always understand when
you sign like Oklahoma City in Westbrook, Presty. Behind the scenes,
they knew the Westbrook thing wasn't gonna work. But god,
he was the he was the thunder. Like you had

(35:33):
to Paul, George had to leave. In a way, it
was a weird break. It was like, Okay, we can
move on from Russell, but until then, Russell's the attraction
and the Harden left and Katie left. Not getting a
lot of free agents there, No, you can't get any freezer.
The last thing. Um, everybody's in top of the game.
Here's here's what I want. What is your most memorable

(35:54):
Super Bowl? Seattle, New England? Because I grew up in
Seattle and then I moved to New England. So it
was the only super My favorite two players, No Eager
Brady and Russell Wilson. So my sister wasn't a sports fan,
and Russell Wilson made her a sports fan. She would
send me these text during the game and uh, you know,
Russell Wilson, Uh mugs and all this stuff, and it
was really cool. We were we really connected, and I

(36:16):
remember going into the game and I'm like, I just
don't want either player, uh to suffer anything, and uh,
I don't want to either player to be embarrassed. Just
play great. I just wanted to. I really wanted a
great game. Um. Part of me kind of rooted for
Seattle because of my sister, and I thought it would
be great for the Northwest. I mean, you know, Boston's
got a million titles. It ended up being unbelievable. I
still say to throw down the right sideline before the

(36:38):
Malcolm Butler thrope is the most unforgotten play in league history. Um,
It's like David Tyree and you get up and run.
Al Michaels and Chris collins Worth, they were exceptional for
a good four count had no idea the ball was caught.
I mean they've moved on there like in completion, alright,
second doun and collins was like, al he got the ball.

(36:58):
So to me, that's the best super Bowl. I was
connected geographically and it ended up being, you know, an
incredible finish. It's interesting. I would say that the New
England one against Atlanta because it was three and it
was such a beating through. Midway through the third quarter,
it was like they were getting the Patriots are getting embarrassed.
I was sitting on a couch because I had to

(37:18):
leave immediately after the game to get back to l
A for Monday Show, and I was sitting with all
my bosses and they were worried. At half, They're like,
this is gonna kill the ratings. This is a terrible game.
Then I went to overtime and my boss turned to
me and said, do you know how much money we're
gonna make? Because this game went over door. It went
from a disaster for Fox to one of the great
games revenue viewership ever. Did you make a pick? Are

(37:40):
you making pick? San Francisco got a better roster. I
feel no conviction with it. I'm I'm, I'm with you.
It feels a little bit. The Chiefs feel a little
bit like when either Marino got here or when Elway
got here early, where he lifted the team to a
level they weren't really they're not quite ready for it, Yes,
not quite yes. Uh. Colin Cowherd every day on your

great day. You're getting ready for the Super Bowl, which
of course you can see only on Big Fox. Do
Do Do, Do Do Do. We're gonna talk with Lawrence

(38:48):
Guy of the Patriots upcoming, because I believe that the
biggest story, and it may end up being kind of
like a non story, is the story of whether or
not Tom Brady leaves the Patriots. There is some irony
to the idea of Lawrence Guy leaving the Patriots. I mean,
let's have Tom Brady leaving the Patriots. The Patriots once

(39:09):
upon a time signed a deal, true story, signed a
deal to become the Connecticut Patriots. I don't know if
they would have been called the Connecticut Patriots still be
in New England because it's in New England, but they
were going to what became Renschler Field, now Yukon plays
There was supposed to be built to house the Patriots.
This is before Tom Brady ever became a starting quarterback.
You go back and Google search and look, Okay, that

(39:31):
the Connecticut Patriots was. That was a thing, and a
deal was actually agreed to and signed um and they
almost became Connecticut's team, and it was it was ultimately
a deal got worked out to build the new stadium,

(39:54):
which became Foxboro Gillette Stadium, which is in the parking
lot of the old stadium, which is of course now knockdown.
Now there's a mall there, Patriot Place. I believe it
was called. But you know, I feel like the Brady
thing is all a bluff. It is all a you
know it's that's That's what it feels like to me.

(40:14):
I want more. He wants to play till he's forty five.
He wants to be well compensated, and the only way
to do that is to go out and have meetings.
It's no different in my business. Right when my contract
is up, I'll have meetings with people I don't know.
You know, I've I've left before I could leave again.
Brady has never left, never left and and and while

(40:37):
there are better quarterbacks, I'm not gonna sit here and
tell you that Tom Brady is the best quarterback in
the NFL. There are no more accomplished quarterbacks than a
guy who's appeared in nine and won six Super Bowls.
And so that becomes as big a story as the
players in the actual game itself. Florence Guy joins us
in the Doug Gotlich Show on Fox Sports Radio. Where's
he going? Uh? You got we gotta crank you up

(41:00):
here a little bit? Can we can? We get his
his his mind? There we go, crank it up, crank
it up. There we go, there we go. How's it
going good? Where's he going? Is he going? See staying?
I'm kidding? How are you? I'm doing good? Yeah, that's
only a question he can answer. I can't answer that question.
I'm not in his mind, you know. So whatever he
chooses to do, he chooses to do. What is this?
What is it like? Though? Too? Because, like you know,

(41:22):
since you get to the page, the Patriots son for
Tom Brady for super Bowls and honestly, Bill Belichick, the
idea of the Patriots about Brady, it's just feels weird.
What about though to you and like, does it feel
like an actual possibility he could play somewhere else? You know? Um,
the way I look at it is every year is
the new team. You're never gonna have the same teammates.

(41:43):
You're never gonna do this. And that's just how the
NFL looked at it. Um. He made two decades with
it was it was his organization, him and builded very
special things together. Um. But whatever he chooses to do
is what he chooses to do. Um. All I could
say is the man's asking for the game, the passion
he asked for his teammates, the passion that you you

(42:06):
you you get when you're around him. It's incredible. So
what if he chooses, I'll be happy for him. I'm
not gonna oh man, you did it is it's a business. Still.
You've been in a couple of different locker rooms in
the NFL, Ravens, Chargers, Coats. Everybody talks about the Patriots
and the Patriots. Way, is it really that different in

(42:26):
terms of culture? Um? The way I say, how is
it different now? And people always say, well, what makes
it different? What makes it different? What makes it not different?
What what do you do in your locker room. We
don't do an all the room the aspects of if
we do everything the same, But the biggest difference that
I see is there's no pointing fingers at people. There's

(42:51):
an understanding what just happened in that play. If we
messed up, and like, this is how we're gonna fix it,
and you fix it. You have to swallow your pride
sometimes and understand that it might be better for the
team if you sacrifice this play, if you do this
better this way, if you help that person out that way,
And that would makes it a unique situation being there.

(43:12):
Everybody is selfish, unselfish. They're not a selfish player on
that team. And you can see when you be like,
oh man, he did his own thing, you can see it.
It was our it was our, uh team. You don't
see that a lot. You you see a lot of
people playing together, or you you hear somebody say, hey,
I'm gonna do this, can you help it out? You're like, cool,
if you do that, I'm gonna protect you. There's a

(43:33):
lot of that going on and understanding in the brotherhood
of I'm gonna let you do this because I'm gonna
do this, or hey, I have to sacrifice this play
to make sure this play is made. And that's the
best part about it. Lawrence Guy of course, Defense Tackle
New England Patriots join us The Goli Show, Fox Sports Radio.
You've seen this Kansas City team personal last year playoffs,
obviously this year regular season. Um, I'm wondering how hard

(43:57):
it is to get home because you know, the thing
about the thing about the Niners is it does feel
like they can rush for and still get to the past.
But does my home's get rid of it so quickly?
It doesn't matter. Well, you got two great quarterbacks right
about to play in this game. You got two really
good defenses. It's two really good offenses. Um, It's not
about how fast he gets out the ball, and not

(44:19):
about how good the defense is rushing. It's all about
who's gonna be able to play in that game and
survive everything that goes on in the game. Because people
don't understand how how long the game is. You know,
it's a long game. The lakes get heavy. It's a
lot of TV timeouts for these cool commercials that nobody
gets to see on the field. There's injury timeouts. There's

(44:40):
a forty five minutes or thirty minute, uh, halftime show.
There's a lot going on it. Are you able to
play every single down to the best of your ability?
When your lakes start getting heavy because you're just sitting
around for a while, you got the natural answer you
start bringing bounty. You've got so much going on if
it's trying to get ramped up, so you get ramped
up and you get ramped down. So who's ever going

(45:00):
to be able to control that aspect? You're going to
one who's going to gonna win? And that Uh, who's
the better team here? Who could do this better? Who's
gonna be able to manage the game and manage the
time house and manage the momentum going up and down?
It's going to come out on top? What? What? What
is it like to win it? That's exciting? Yeah, you

(45:21):
can get to the graffiti throwing everywhere? Are you trying to?
You got all that going everywhere? You know you collected.
It's exciting. You know, it's not more that you're excited
that you just wanted, excited that you just you wanted
with your team. This is your brothers that you you
sweat it? Did it? Did it feel? But for for you? Right?

(45:42):
Because it started with the Packers. You know, you're sitting
around picked then you know, Colts and Chargers and Ravens
like to be Did you feel as connected even though
because you hadn't been with New England nearly as long,
you know, like it's not like your a long time patriot,
are you? Were you still as connected to that group
of guys. Yeah, you have to understand, like the years,
a different year, a different team. And when I came

(46:02):
in our locker room, everybody was arms are open, welcome
me in. You know. Um, it was a blast. I
fit right in with what what the the culture of there?
We fit right in with the players and we just
enjoyed every single day. Like I lost with this team
also in the Super Bowl, and the next team was
a whole another year and we won that. It was
embracing it and and enjoying that moment at the time.

(46:24):
And you see everybody's families who have dinners at Thanksgiving dinners,
Christmas dinners with everybody to bring people to the house.
You get to embrace it on the field and off
the field. So it's a blast. Did you know Malcolm
Butler would barely play No. Look, sometimes the game goes
a certain way. Um, I'm not on the coaching side,
so I had I know I did all I did, Like,

(46:45):
you know what, how am I gonna play this game
to be the best I could be? And how are
we gonna do up front? Because I'm on the line,
you know, so I'm worried about another person hitting me.
How we're gonna play in this aspect of who's playing,
who's how this must play time? Have to have my playtime?
I don't know because it's split seconds. I wasn't even
on a package on um last year Super Bowl. My

(47:07):
coach looked at me, hey, jump on in, but I
was ready to go. So it happens. You might play
a lot of places. You might not play plays at
all since those game time situations. Large guy Johnior and
stop gotlip show here on Fox Sports Radio. If you
were to give the defensive guys a piece of advice,
you talked about how long the game was and about

(47:28):
how you have to kind of stay ready and stay consistent.
What else would you tell them about this game now
you played it in the last two years. Just keep
your lazy moving, Like I said, you just keep moving,
trying not to just stand around, stay hydrated, um, you
stay in the mind constantly. Understand No, don't be like, oh,
it's a lot of TV time out. You'd be like, okay,

(47:48):
what are the situations E were in? Remind yourself talk
to your team and like, hey, what do they like
to do during this situation? Because you got time to
go over like, hey, what happened? Is played? This happens.
Don't whelm your sofa to keep focused into the game.
Don't get distracted and enjoy the moment. People don't enjoy
the moment enough. Enjoy the moment, Lawrence guy. He enjoyed

(48:10):
the moment winning a Super Bowl last year, been in
the last two of course, member of the New England Patriots.
And I know you got all that that Vegas inc
on you because repping your your hometown. Thanks so much
for joining us, law Be sure to catch the live
edition of The Doug gott Leap Show week days at
three p m. Easter noon Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the I Heart Radio app Stuck Gotlip Show here

(48:31):
on Fox Sports Radio. And uh, he's the ultimate inside right.
I liken him to the old eighties E. F. Hutton
commercial When he talks people listen and every year, every year,
he kind of plants the seed and you're like, Nah,
no way, Jay's missed on this one. And then like
three months later it happens. Obviously, the O p J
trade was was one of them, which was just kind

(48:53):
of a throw in. So J Glazer joins us on
behalf of his new partnership with g n C. I
want to get to that, and you're on your your
gym on break um, but so, so take me through
how people got it twisted on the Philip Rivers stuff.
So I'm on uh Tower Show and I'm talking about
Breeze and I'm going, you know, he's in a different

(49:13):
situation and everybody else, you know Brady, you know, we
don't know what he's gonna do yet, Eli Man, and
we know we've moved He's moved on from the you
know Johanson, you know Chargers, you know they're charging move
on Philip Verge. But Breeze is different. Breeze in this
situation where it's either the Saints or nobody, and it's
really gonna be up to Drew. They want to but
I go in this whole thing in Breeze, and um,
I'm going to film later. I started filming um uh

(49:35):
didn't drop her with the rock for our free game show.
And my phone's off, and all the sudden, my phone
just starts going nuts, and I'm like, what is going on?
And people like, hey, congrats into your scoop and I'm like,
what are you talking about? And you hit me up
all and I'm like, what are these people talking about?
Somebody use me saying an opinion on the aggregated the

(49:55):
aggregate sentence the sentence, and came the headline that Jay
Glazier reports the Chargers had moved on. Which listen when
I reports on you know it, I say, oh, Odell
Beckham is gonna get traded, and hell says bam. I
put him out there right when I said years ago,
week one, Jim Harbor will not be back his head
coach of even if they win the Super Bowl. I

(50:17):
put it. I screamed up from the rafters. I'm good
with that. I report something. I am good with putting
it out there. This wasn't a report. This was like
a half sentence on a radio show that someone pulled
out and made a report. And even the Charges called me,
They're like, you didn't report this. I'm like, I know
I did but I was like, I had no idea
what anybody was talking about because I was filming for
you know, our pregame show on Sunday. So then it

(50:39):
became crazy. Then I just started getting piste off, because
again I care more about being right than anything else. Right.
Your your percentage of times that you've been right, because
you you have the sources, and a lot of that
comes from the respect that people have, not just for
the job, but also you know through your gym. You know,
when these guys come in the off season, come out
to l A and and they want to they want

(51:00):
a piece of what what you've been able to teach
so many people. Um, okay, so help us out though
without without making reports. I you know, I don't think
Philips he'll be back there, but I haven't said they moved,
like it's not official at the lizabeth On vacation, Like
they're not you know what I mean? So, so where
do you think? So? But there is this is a
weird year where all of a sudden quarterbacks out there

(51:22):
right whereas this is kind of like a basketball offseason. Okay,
so let's start with Brady. He's the most I don't Yeah,
I don't know what he's gonna do. Um, if if
I'm the charges, I give a check and I'm like,
are you're feeling however many comments? You need to help
build my business. But he may say, you know what,
Patriots the only place I want. But he may leverage
that and say, I'm only doing this if you go

(51:42):
out and get me this, this, this, this doesn't struggle.
I don't know the answer. I don't know if Tom
knows the answer yet. What about Gruden, because I know, yeah,
that also would make a lot of sense. Um, but
even yeah, I don't see those two being a mesh. Yeah,
I know, I don't see them being as It's gonna
be interesting for you for this offseason because free agency

(52:02):
in the NFL is usually not quarterbacks. Right, You can
almost always hold on your quarterback Keef you wanted franchise
tag him, and some of these guys can't. It feels
like this is a little bit like a basketball that's
kind of Look everyone from the Bridgewaters, the Hills to
the um uh Tanne Hills and I mean Cam Newton,
I mean he's gonna be a big story also, so

(52:23):
there is there's there's so many quarterbacks and they'll probably Um,
they'll probably cause a couple of these guys to get
paid less than they sure, because there's so many options
out there. Yeah, and then of course you have the draft,
like Luke nick Foles got paid, right, Yeah, so imagine
if but then he got what I'm saying, look at

(52:43):
we got paid because there just wasn't quarterbacks last year.
Now there's ten of them. It's a great point. Jay
Glazer joining us here, Doug Otlip Show, Fox Sports Radio. Um,
quickly on these two teams, you do, you have the Chiefs,
and I do think there's this. I don't think any
he turned a corner or whatever, but there it feels
like a lot of people in the league are cheering

(53:04):
for Andy this thing. He was the rallying cry for
that team. And Andy is like your favorite uncle. You
just don't want to let him down, even me, and
I've been close to them for a long time. Um.
In fact, when his his kids were in jail, I
called him every single week, every week just to check
up on him on that because I knew, Um, after
the initial wave, nobody else does, you know, And that's

(53:26):
just how I am. I want to make sure I'm
there for the people that I love and respect when
no one else is watching or looking, you know what
I mean, like when they need it most. And um,
he just has this thing where you just you don't
want to let him down. Ever, you don't want to
disappoint him. So to have an entire team, you know,
make their head coach this rallying cry, even like I
talked like John Lynch and Lynch it's like Clays trust me,

(53:49):
even me, like, man, it's the last guy I want
to beat in this game. I'm like, I want Andy
to when one of these things. I wish it wasn't
like you know, everybody loves Andy, Yes it's And then
you talking talking to John lyn of course you guys
worked together when he was when he was at Fox.
It is amazing. And also trying to break you my
Thai records to the Pro Bowl one year. He drank
thirty four my ties at the Pro Bowl one year

(54:10):
and uh, then I want to show and talk about it.
His mom called him and said, Johnny, your friend Jay
saying you have thirty four more my ties in one day.
He's like Mom, and no, I didn't. I had seventeen,
but they're seventeen doubles. And like the Stanford. Do the math.
That's thirty four. So I did try to break his
Myntai record, didn't come close? Yes, what'd you get in
front of it? Would you get where they they were doubles? Uh? No, singles?

(54:34):
Let him close, come close, thirty four. He's great that
he should be of him in that should should be
in all Hall of Fames for that one. But it's
it's interesting. You know, so many guys get to that position,
and here's the guy who didn't have experience in the
front office, right, he just he's a football guy. You've

(54:54):
been around it, you know his entire career. But look
at so many Now, look they didn't make all perfect decision, right,
but even in the last year drafting Deebo Samuel, obviously
they nick bos that kind of fell to them, which
became amazing. But what's the biggest thing. The biggest thing
is the depth of talent, and that team took on
the personality of John Lynch. Right, they are a bunch

(55:16):
of bad SLBs out there. John Lynch, you were horrified
to come over the middle, to take a run up
the middle, like he was the tone center. That was
a great defense. But John Lynch was the tone center
that defense, and you know they can't show it now
because all the people he knocked out knocked out his
own brother in law who's playing for the Bears, and
just kind of got up and marked away, like, hey,
you're the ball. It's his fault. That's who you want.

(55:39):
You want that guy's personality. They took on his personality
of that team. Um, okay, do you have any violent team?
Do you have any stories that you would like to
break right out? Yeah? Nothing, not not. I just want
to make sure this is your outlet if you have
something that Sunday. Also, you know it's called the super Bowl.
I don't yeah, I don't know. If anybody's gonna watch,

(56:02):
you have something in your back pocket. You gotta breaks.
That would be really cool, I'll see. I don't know yet.
I might. I don't know. I mean, yeah, that'd be
the best time to do it. I don't know, to
be amazing, I don't know. But you know what that
but here was there a lot of times. You know,
you gotta be strategic when you when you break stories.
And so like we we have a show coming out

(56:23):
Saturday night about the great Brady Houston. We helped you.
I broke the story and helped find Tom Brady's jersey. Um,
and we were originally gonna break it. And I said
to Eric Jacks or Boughts and Fox, I'm like, Shanks,
we gotta wait till monday. He's like, what do you mean.
I said, n C Double A tournament starts Thursday, starts tomorrow.
No one's gonna care about this. We have to wait.
He's like, you're gonna wait till monday. I'm like, we

(56:44):
gotta wait till monday. He's like, oh my god, how
do you do this. I'm like, that's why exactly, that's
why I need to raise buddy and um. But but
so super Sunday, you can have something huge, but it
will be lost later, you know. Yeah, yeah, I don't
think so. Maybe if it's a Jay Glazier story, it's
you know, if it's non b J, if it's a Brady,
if it's a yeah, you know that uh last thing,

(57:05):
you're GYM unbreakable and now you have a partnership with
NC really really cool man. I mean, I am now
a spokesman for g n C. We're coming out with
an entire and unbreakable uh line of supplements proteins amino acids,
uh pre workout drinks and a portion of it will
actually go to my charity, which is the dearest thing
in my life, Thank god, our MVP charity. Emerging vets

(57:26):
and players were taking former combat vetch when the uniform
comes off um and we're merging them together with former
pro athletes and olympians for when their uniform or their
gloves come off to give a new team again. Because
the transition sucks right as all of a a sudden, you
don't have a purpose and you forget what your greatness is.
We're reminding these guys that it wasn't your uniform that
made you great. What's behind the uniform, behind your rib

(57:47):
cage is what makes you great, and that doesn't leave
when sudden lead the uniform comes off from when you're alone,
the roommates in your head talk a lot, and it's
it's a scary world out there. When you got a
team again, you remind these guys of what their greatness is.
I get them to be of service to other people again.
We have listened. We got twenty two bets a day
that kill themselves is not freaking okay, okay, that's what

(58:08):
the ring signifies. Right here. Um of our m v pers.
I'm proud to say of our m v pers, which
more than half of trying to attempt to take their
own lives before coming m v P. We're in four
cities four years. Our total number of our m v
pers have taken their lives is zero, not one. Because

(58:29):
all of a sudden they were beholding to their team
again and they're reminded of all the great stuff they've done.
Um they're able to share it again with people now
be of service two others in their next step of life,
and it's it's beautiful. So g n C is gonna
help me man get this and get an m v
P program in every city in America, so it'll be
sold in eight thousand stores. Can be more proud. Mann

(58:51):
dot com member. It's unbreakable performance and they're gonna have
the entire line. I do hope for some free hook ups,
no doubt from Glazier here on the Doug Gotlap Show.
gott Leap Show week days at three pm Easter noon
Pacific Doug Otlap Show, Fox Sports Radio. They're the most
talked about team. The numbers were off the charts, yet

(59:11):
they could make the playoffs this year, and Uh, I
thought kind of underrated. Was an ankle injury that our
next guests suffered early in the season. You tell me, ZAVIERW.
Woods joins us on the Doug Gottlieb Show, how much
do you think that that changed your defense? Because what
you missed? How long? I really just missed one game.
But I mean, I'm not the one to make excuses,

(59:33):
but definitely hinder UH for a lot of games afterwards.
I I agree. I don't think you're making excuses. I
think it's an explanation. Right. You start off with such
an you know, incredible start to the season, and then
you you have that high ankle sprain and it felt
like it took you a while to be yourself. Is
that fair? Yeah? Zavier Woods joining us? Um, what what
was this year like to be the most talked about

(59:55):
team in the NFL? Oh? We know that being part
of Cowboys media is going all ways. We're gonna be
talked about good or bad. Uh. If we win, something
bad happen. If we lose. If we lose, something good
came out of it somehow. So we know that, Um
from the start, Uh, we start off ast, start off
three and oh, start off good, and the media was

(01:00:17):
on our side. Man, it was all praise. And then
we know as a Cowboys, the minute you lose a game, uh,
it's somebody need to be fired. Uh, someone needs to go.
What's happening, what's bad happening. So we know that coming in,
and we knew that throughout the year, and we're just
gonna get the job done, all right. So the coaching
change was made. The hired Mike McCarthy. And I think

(01:00:39):
from your standpoint, you tell me if I'm wrong, Mike
Nolan being brought in as a new DC is it
means even more? What what what does that change for you? Oh? Well,
I mean I haven't spoken to uh any of the
new coaches that came in because I've been on vacation
that's enjoined, spent spending time with my family. But uh,
definitely a new schemes coming in, new energy. Definitely, we

(01:01:00):
have all new coaches on the defensive side. So coming in,
we don't know. As a player, I don't know what
we're going to play next year. Uh, I know we
probably won't play the same thing we did this year,
which is the coup of three. We're probably gonna switch
that up. But I man, I'm just looking forward to
just coming back and just playing again. Uh, I mean,
I just miss playing football. I'm sure, I'm sure. I mean,

(01:01:20):
it didn't expect the thing to end week seventeen. You
expected to be playing in the playoffs. Where're you go
on vacation? We just left from Bahamas, so we came
straight from Bahamas to here. The coolest thing he did?
Uh there? Then the coolest thing was just Jesse's I
had my daughter with me, so m really we did
the Dolphins, Uh some of the Dolphins. Yeah, we did
the Dolphins, and so the jet Skis. Because I've done

(01:01:42):
the Dolphins before jet Skis, I got to go out
further than I don't think I was supposed to. Yeah,
you're tearing it up. Ye doesn't it feel like you're
like it feels crazy dangerous and I don't know if
it is. It feels like you're going a hundred miles
an hour of it. Do you're gonna go five? I know? Right,
You're like, oh, I gotta Florida and was jumping away.
So I was like, yeah, you weren't really like you're
a real pro jet ski right. Yeah, I gotta be

(01:02:06):
careful though. There's accident jet skis here though, because you
got those bridges and causeways right now out there. I
mean it's open sea. It's open see no bridges. Do
Atlantis or you atlantis who do Atlantis every year. My
family and I, I mean, we love it, love it.
That's that's your jam. Yeah, that's our second year and
uh man, I've said it's gonna be every year thing

(01:02:26):
Bahamas and hopefully in February now and in the future,
not in January. So yeah, we planned it immediately after
the season ends. Unfortunately it was in January. I mean,
going forward with hope for it being February. Davis joining
us to gotlip show here on Fox Sports Radio. Um,
it does feel like youth is being sure, like you're
a younger dude. You look around and we've we've had

(01:02:49):
Brady so many times, We've had older quarterbacks, older teams.
You've got Jimmy g who he's not just in the league,
but this is really his first full year starting. You've
got Pat Mahomes only a second full you're starting third
year in the league. It feels like this is a
super Bowl of New blood. Is that fair? Yeah? I
think this first say this fair sity. You just look
at the last of words. You've been having Brady Uh

(01:03:10):
just the quarterback's Brady uh pay man name Ben Roethlisberger's
just been those guys. So just to have uh, I
mean the newcoming great quarterbacks Patrick Mahome and Jimmy g Uh.
If you were advised a scheme to try and slow
down Kansas City, what would you do? I've only played
in two I love for It's what we played for

(01:03:31):
a scheme. Uh, they can match up, will him? I
think people don't think they can match up, but I
think they can. So so help help describe to me
what you do? Because you have you got Tyreek Hill,
who you feel like if you know you got you
gotta he takes the top off the defense right and
then you have Kelsey over the middle. They got still
got Sammy Watkins, they got other track dude speed. So
what what do you there? And they're not really a

(01:03:52):
man and man team. There is zone team. So what
is what? How do you do it? Uh? The underady
guys that's going that's going to be the factor for
San France gonna be a D line which is what
they have monsters. Yeah, the De Lion is one of
the best in the league, and so that's gonna be
that's gonna be the group to win. That's gonna be
the group that leads Kansas. Seit me for Anonymous to victory.

(01:04:13):
I think so too. It's it's interesting. You know Eli
retired and he's like, well, he win two Super Bowls MVPs.
What people forget is in both of those Super Bowls,
the real MVPs was the defensive line of the Giants.
You just couldn't give it to four guys. So he
made a couple of good throws. You're like, all right,
we'll give it to Eli. Right where it's really the
defensive line. Tom Brady was never comfortable against Giants either time. Right,
kind of similar. I mean I've watched them, uh, just

(01:04:34):
throughout film study. We play the same team sometime. And
then these past few playoff games that the line has
been winning ball games. Uh. And then the Aaron Rodgers
was shook in the first half. The elone makes the
back end of look good. In the back end makes
the Delon look good. A compliments each other, but that
De Lion has been extraordinary, hardest you hit anybody this
year the hardest? Yeah, uh probably does Zach Erk's hit

(01:04:56):
Uh the last Eagles game. I think he uh fractually
the river, So I think that's the hardest. Did he
say anything? Later on? And again he was like, you
got me good? You got me good. At that time,
he don't think he knew and I didn't know what
uh he had fractures riels, but I guess the next
day went in for X ray. The hand said, now

(01:05:16):
did you get run over it all this year? Oh? Yeah, yeah?
Who got you? Who got me? Uh? Dalvin Cook got me? Um?
Who else? Dalvin Cook is sneaky, strong till he's short
and even not short, but he's compact. Yes, Uh, I
can't think of who else. I know I've got running
over a couple of times this year. I mean that's

(01:05:37):
that's safety. Well, this happens, right, It's it's a lot
like big guys when they get dunked on the NBA
or Lebron got dunked on a couple weeks ago. He's like,
not the first time, not the last time, last time
I get rannd over? What uh? Quarterback for Saints, that's
the big one. You got ran over? By quarterback. I mean,
I know he's not an average quarter man. The joke is,

(01:05:58):
you know a quarterback, a guy's plays everything side and
feels bad, and then the week after he did again
side feels bad. What your guys were your guys killing
you and filmed today? They were? They were Xavier Woods
joining us in the dug Otlip Show on Fox Sports Radio.
All right, last last thing is this, Um, I'm I'm
I'm fascinated, absolutely fascinated by why Green Bay couldn't set

(01:06:22):
the edge? Like why like does it? It feels like
you know what's coming with the Niners. They barely threw
the ball. Guy through the ball eight times. Why couldn't
they say? Why couldn't they set the edge? I think
satting It is all about being disciplined. That's that's all saddening.
The edge is all about being disciplined. I mean outside,
you stay outside. Uh not speaking towards any of those guys,

(01:06:43):
but just for us in our defense last year, it's
all about being disciplined, said the edge. You stay outside.
If you outside, you stay outside. Don't try to peak,
don't try to make uh two plays at once, Just
make your play. Did you know it was going side
with because like it was hard for us to tell
if it was going sideways with you guys, right, because

(01:07:03):
like you as a fan, you're like, well, look, they
started out three and O. I know, against some bottom
teams in the league, but it looked really good. The
offensive ratings were off the charts. Um. And then like
even the New England lost and I know it was
but it was it was like a month there was
a rainstorm. It's really hard to tell. No one could
move the ball there, right, and they needed they needed
special teams helped to win that game. Could you tell
it was going bad before it really went bad? Not really?

(01:07:26):
Uh you say in the New England game, I mean
that was just uh. I mean as far as it
was just a bad game, I mean weather wise, so
it weren't really in our conditions, I would say the
bad loss for US Jets. Yes, yes, that was tricky
for us because, uh, the quarter I hadn't played like
two or three weeks before, so we didn't really know

(01:07:47):
what they were going to do. Uh coming in, um
he played like one of two games two then and
they were riding on energy. But I mean going to
the Eagles game, we were like we were saying, we
win this game, We're getting the playoffs. No one want
to playoffs. No matter what. I don't care what anyone says.
We get to the big dance. I can say in basketball,
you get to the dance. Anything. That happened, right, so

(01:08:08):
we didn't really think things going on sideways. And even
the last with also the Eagles and we played the
rest gains and we were relying on the Eagles to lose,
we still was saying, if we get in, yeah, it's
gonna be. It's gonna We're gonna be dangerous. Man. It
just didn't happen. It didn't happen. Well, maybe well next
year with the new defensive scheme and meantime, welcome back
to the States from the Bahamas. Thank you, thanks so

(01:08:29):
much for Jonas and I look forward to covering in
the future. Thank you. Uh that that is a very
very talented defensive back with the Dallas Cowboys. Fox Sports

(01:09:09):
It's not Rocket Science. It's my computer career dot E D.
You get you out of a man, Dan Bayer, what's
the game today, Doug? The game today is real news?
Fake news? Alright, real news are fake news. NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell says Mexico City will host four NFL games
over the next two seasons. It sounds like real news.
You are fake news. It was two games over the

(01:09:35):
next two seasons, so there will be one in and
another one in one keeping the tradition that they've had
for the past three years. That's called tradition. That is
that is the the that's that's all the that's all
the uber rides. I've gotten here where I have had
to work on my my Spanish. The the games and

(01:09:55):
who's appearing in those games will be announced I think
sometimes maybe in the next a month or so. Goodell said.
That includes the London contest for next season, although I
believe the Dolphins and Falcons are already, Uh, teams that
are going to be playing in London next year. Jackson
always plays in London, right, yep, yep. Real news or
fake news? Commissioner Roger Goodell says he hasn't thought about
retirement and isn't focused on retiring. That sounds like real news.

(01:10:20):
They're real and they're spectacular. You're gonna follow a lot
of divots and drive left to the correct answer, Doug.
That's what Roger Goodell said today. The question was posted basically,
if you get a new CBA done, isn't basically your
main work kind of out the way? Like would you
start to maybe right off in the sunset? And he
said no, he hasn't even thought about it, not focused
on it. Someday or retirement will come. If you're making

(01:10:42):
forty million dollars a year, I'm not sure I'll be
focused on retirement just yet either. Um, I don't know.
I would say fifty eight, okay, Uh, is that real
is real? Is is that real news are fake news?
Fifty eight? Roger Goodell? Hold on, um, let's see here
he is? You said fifty eight sixty sixty. I don't

(01:11:06):
know if I had forty million dollars a year New
c B A. Yeah, he called it like six sixty
three right off into the sunset. Pretty good. Real news
are fake news. We'll tell you what they'll do here.
He will retire, so I'm sorry erupted. I believe that
the new TV agreements, when those are done he retired,
the new TV agreements will have them on CBS, NBC, UH, ABC.

(01:11:29):
I believe will be added back into it and Fox.
I think it'll be on every major network, and that
is when he will be to do. Real news are
fake mows. Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill wants to try
and make the US Olympic track team. They're real and
they're spectacular. Yeah, saying today, hopefully after this season, if
I'm healthy in my mind is still in the right place,

(01:11:51):
I really want to try to qualify for some Olympic teams,
and then said followed up with yeah, he that he
was serious when asked if he was serious or not. Yeah,
I mean, like, the good thing about it is it's
still just running, right. It's not like it's gonna take
away from his football. You're like, you know, if you
trained for it to be to have sprinter speed, he'd
obviously have to probably lose some weight. It will be

(01:12:12):
my guests, there'll be some of that football weight that
they would lose. But outside of that having to gain
that back, I can't see a downside in training to
be a world class sprayer. Real news are fake news.
Dion Sanders thinks too many guys are getting into the
Hall of Fame. That's real news. They're real and they're spectacular. Now.
He was with DP earlier today saying that once upon
a time, the Hall of Famer was a player who

(01:12:32):
changed the darn game. That's not a Hall of made
you want to reach in your pocket and pay your
admission to see that guy places. That's not a Hall
of Famer anymore, says They let everybody into this thing.
It's not exclusive. Second my day, you used to have
to be something to be in the Hall of Fame.
Now just let anybody in. Honestly, Dion's right, like, this
is the uh did you go with us? Yester? Right now?

(01:12:55):
I went with went to lunch with Jeff Schwartz and
with a John Minelkoff and some giants fans like godly
w don't you think you belongs in the Hall of Fame?
I go, He's eli man is a good quarterback? Is
Tom Brady Like? No, but he's still knows he's good
as as his brother, No is as good as Drew Brees,
No is as good as Aaron Rodgers. No. You know
why because they're Hall of famers. Who damn it, they're better, right,

(01:13:19):
there's no there's certain levels to the Hall of Fame.
There's the greatest of all time, and those guys are
supposed to get in period. Yeah. I agree with that,
which is what Dion saying. But yeah, but I also
think that that's two different because now of the people
that they have led in are allowed to let in.
But we're doing that, we're doing the president thing that
it's not like it's not like the world of law, right,
just like Bill Kawer good coach, but is the Hall

(01:13:43):
of Famer? Did he change the Did anybody go like
we gotta do what Bill Coward did? Like? No, Bill
Belichick Hall of Famer, Jimmy Johnson three super Bowl, you
know three super Bowl two? Super Bowl is really a third.
But built that team right, hall of Famer. Um, I
don't know, like I understand that let people in. I
get it, But that's like using the legal argument of president. Well,
you let this guy and he didn't belong in all right,

(01:14:04):
that doesn't mean we need to make the same mistake again, right,
make the same mistake over and over again and expecting
a different result. That's the definition of insanity. You know.
Now we're gonna change. That's a starting room right now,
they're gonna change. Real loser, fake there's LaMelo Ball received
a video tribute from his Australian basketball team prior to
a game. His Ball will now head back to the
States to rehab his foot. Sure you are fake news.

(01:14:30):
He left without telling her, saying goodbye to his coaches
or other teammates. That's actually the most ball thing ever.
I love that people like, oh, shut it down, like dude,
that's not how that does not that is not gonna
go overwhelm in Australia. This idea, all these guys are
gonna go to Australia, not with LaMelo Ball cutting out
on his team, not even saying goodbye, deuces saying ay
you dude, you don't just switch jerseys at halftime. That's

(01:14:52):
game time. Is game time on the duck Got Lame
Show shout out. Senko joins the show, coming next to
get his thoughts on the Chiefs offense and how high
power it is. Get his thoughts on Brady of course
he played with him. Um, I'm gonna ask him if
he's really gonna be a kicker in the XFL, and

(01:15:13):
we'll probably get the hookups on where the hot spot
is tonight. That's next in The Doug Gotlip Show, Fox

we're creeping closer and closer. It's Wednesday. Obviously, Monday was
a really really sad, tough day for anybody in the
world of sports. Tuesday still as well, we seem to
have turned a bit of a corner. Although we heard
from Frank vogel Um earlier today the Lakers had their
first practice um since the tragic death of Kobe Bryant
and eight other you know, seven passengers and a pilot

(01:16:18):
on the Mamba Chopper. Still reacting to that, but we
have kind of turned the corner and getting ready here
for the Super Bowl. Shadow cho Senko joins us on
the Doug Otlip Show on Fox Sports Radio. Super Bowl
comes to your hometown. How does that change your world?
You know, it really doesn't change my world, but it
does affect the traffic. It does affect the traffic. Uh.
I get the opportunity to see a lot of faces,

(01:16:39):
media players, current and former, and I love it. I
love it because, uh they don't. I'm not around the
game as much as I used to be, so this
time of year, I love it because I get to
continue those relationships I built throughout the years. Okay, do
you really are you really going to be a kicker
in the XFL. No, No, the thought of it. It
was great, the thought of it because I can actually

(01:17:00):
kick it wouldn't be a gimmick. I mean, I've done
in the NFL when our kicker got hurt. But then
the thought of taking someone's job or taking that opportunity
away from someone else that deserves it, that might get
a shot. What if you're good enough? What is it?
What's the difference? The difference is if I've had my time.
I've had my time for twil thirteen years at the
highest level. So why why I don't I don't need to.

(01:17:21):
I didn't know. I didn't know that you had had
that kind of balance, like a lot of dudes. When
I thought about it, yes, I was like, no, this,
this isn't right, This isn't right. Uh. Jato Jessenko joining
us gotlip show, Fox Sports Radio. Antonio Brown idolized, you idolized? Okay,
but what's going on there? We've been training together since
he was in high school, so almost maybe a twenty

(01:17:43):
years almost, so one thing grown man, as I'm as am.
I I love Antonio. So I haven't gotten into his
personal business yet. When the time comes, I'm going to
talk to him, you know, and and and just isn't
the time now, Like doesn't he need somebody to go like, dude,
what are you doing? Because I when the time comes, yeah,

(01:18:05):
we're going we're going to have that. He's going to
He's going to be fine. And I'm telling you that
as a friend who's been a friend and probably the
one of the few, if only people he will listen to.
He's going to be fine. I'm telling you that. You No,
I I like, I I understand. I understand that with
that what we're fed as the media, we're you know,
he's in an impossible situation at times to defend himself.

(01:18:27):
But it just they're just always something right, and you
know how these NFL teams works, Like, look, it was
one thing, all right, we can it's explained, but there's
always something little. And then there's the videos out there
which he I think he only tries to fix things
that makes things worse. He's he's a superb. He's a
superior talent, no question, he's a superior talent. And things

(01:18:47):
will work themselves out. Jado Jasinco joining us here to
Gottlip Show Fox Sports Radio. Um, we had we had
Teddy Bridgewater upcoming, and he we had Teddy Bridgewater and
of course he's uh what North Central High School Northwest,
northwestwester Miami Northwestern. Miami Senior is right around the corner.
What was your high school, Miami B Senior High right
across the street, Right, that was your high school across

(01:19:08):
the street. Yes, they were more known for hoop when
you were there, right, more so. But during my tenure,
we were pretty good at football. We were really good.
Who else you have back then, Samario, Remember Dwayne Starks
because some dudes Terry Cousins. Remember Terry Cousins? Yes, and
uh yeah, those are four that came out of our school.
A little bit before us. Was Dave Thomas who played

(01:19:28):
with the Giants. He was a safety and um, yeah
we were. We were decent. Yeah, I think more than decent. Um.
It's interesting he's got a clinic. I think it's central
about Miami Central High School, which he said was the
team that beat him. Okay, So then we're watching Lamar
Lamar's north of here, right, that's where he grew up
in North Yeah, he went to Boyd and beat high school. Okay,
So do you guys, is that does that count right? Like?

(01:19:50):
Or is that you're still part of your still part
of us, still part of the kind of the family.
Part of the fan. How is it that this area,
this is not a huge area, has produced so many
football so many it's it's so much talent in a
small area. From from a skilled position standpoint, it's unbelievable.
All it is now, it's about these kids getting the

(01:20:11):
opportunity now that they have the resources so they can
be seen. And if they get an opportunity, sky is
a limit because there are a lot of Lamar Jackson's
in Liberty City, there are a lot of Lamar Jackson's
in in Pompano, in Broward and Homestead, and just about
them getting and being put in the right situation. It's
a lot of them. Cha Chado jessinco joining us gotlip

(01:20:33):
show Fox Sports Radio. How would you have fared in
the Kansas City offense? I think I would have had fun.
Think I would have had fun. I think any receiver
for that for that matter, would have would have had fun.
You know, Uh, my homes is unbelievable, unbelievable what he's
able to do, you know, and they're gonna win, They're

(01:20:54):
gonna wink. Yeah. Of course forty nine is great defense.
Eight defense, but you're playing against a juggernaut of but offense.
So it's it's different. Okay. Sometimes you know, like Belichick's philosophy.
Take away the team's best player. Okay, take away Kelsey, Okay,
take away Tyreek Hill. Probably take away Tyrek Hill, right, Okay,

(01:21:16):
Then you gotta deal with Sammy Watkins and Mikole Hardman.
Do you have to deal with Mahomes? Do you have
to deal with the draw the screen? It's it's too much,
I guess. I guess. My question is like, couldn't this
be like Giants Patriots? The first Giants Patriots Patriots for
eighteen and o Brady through fifty touchdown passes, but the
Giants front four just dominated the game. He could never

(01:21:37):
get comfortable. It's talking about matchups. No, No, you gotta
four by one Olympic team in the Chiefs going against
a great forty Niners defense. Who are you going with?
I'm telling where I'm going just based off the matchup.
I love Sharman Kwan Alexander. I love what they've done
all season. I love both. I love what the front
line has done. But it's a different animal. And you

(01:21:58):
will understand when you see Sunday. Yeah, Chado Jasinko joining
us here on the Doug Gotlip Show on Fox Sports Trader.
Obviously you played with Belichick, you played played with with
with Brady. But but it didn't work out the way
that I think most people thought. It didn't work out
the way I did it did it? Mark Anthony and
j loo So? But stuff happened? Why? But what I
understand Mark Anthony and j lo j Loos found happiness.

(01:22:19):
You found happiness as well, although you're not you're not
dating and engaged to a rod. Okay, now do you
have a chance to look back? Why? We've seen other
We've seen other guys that have been a talented question.
Look at the the Pagris offense, right, how many outside
receivers have done wonders are outside of the last name
ofss O? Wait? Not many if any? Who? Yeah? But

(01:22:42):
why it's it's the way the offenses run. It's run
from the inside out, well the edlements, the gronks there
and end is that's the way the game. That one
of the few offenses and not taking any anything away
from anybody else. But it's a great, great system. It's
a great system. And justined fit Chat or Meny all
the other outside receivers that's come along, right, I mean,

(01:23:03):
that's it's it is a It is a story about
fit more than anything else. Right, things have to fit. Huh,
that's it. Um. If you were them, would you, I
mean how much? How would you move mountains to bring
him back? At this point in his career. He's not
the same about him. He is the same. He is. Yes,
it's wrong with years old, only his age has nothing

(01:23:25):
to do it. The only good is your supporting cast
or the things that are surrounded by you. Period. And
I'm taking not taking anything away from any of the
players there, because they're all great that they've got it done.
But nothing wrong with him. I think he's going to
leave me. I think diego Honestly, I think Tom wants
to prove he can get it done outside of that

(01:23:45):
system that they think because of Belichick. I think he
wants here's the only thing done. The problem my problem
with the charges. And in all full disclosure, I'm super
close with guys in the front office there, and I'm
actually a Charger fan. But they're like the fifth most
popular team in l A. Right, Like there's more Raider fans,
there's more Niner fans, more Steeler Packer ram fans than

(01:24:05):
than there aresion. Okay, they don't have a great offensive line.
They have great skill position players, they have great skill
position players, but they don't have a good offensive line.
The NFL, Yeah, it's the NFL. What explained what that
means that you can fix the offensive line like that?
I mean, if they can fix the offensive line when
they've done it from Philip Rivers. So I say, the

(01:24:27):
New England Pages have a great offensive line. No, but
but they're getting their center back and they've shown the
ability in the past to fix the offensive line. Where's
the Chargers have? Not? Really? Right? This has been a
problem for a while. He's going to San Diego, all right,
He's going to say. If you're going to say, who's
not gonna play's going to the Chargers when the Chargers
l A Chargers? Are you got a hoop game coming
up right, celebrity hoop game Friday, k Serena eight o'clock.

(01:24:50):
All of my friends, one of my favorites is going

great hooper. Should have been an EBA. Well, he should
have been the NBA, he said, he should have. Come on, man,
come on, I mean, you can make it. He dominated that,
he dominated football. Why can't you play in the NBA
because it's a different sport. But he's good, but he's not.

(01:25:11):
He's good, but he's there's four It's like, it's like,
dudes are good in the NBA, Like, oh, you could
have played in the NFL. Like do you know how
good those guys are? Okay, So who is the best
of your celebrity friend Hooper's who's actually the best? You
know what? There's a rapper by the name of k Camp.
You might not know who he is, you might listen
to him. He's that good. He's a bucket. Let me

He really how big? He's about six to very six.
To remind me of Jamal Crawford. Just a walking bucket anyway,
says Jamal Crawford. Guy runs the job and you're like, Okay,

not to not to guard him. Right, my son is
more excited because uh cuebo and uh yeah, man, but

how good are you me? I'm dropping twenty four easy
and and and described Kobe? Describe Kobe? How many of

But I can execute off the dribble extremely well. Okay

(01:27:05):

But it's on, all right, it's on, all right. We'll
see if kay Camp really has all that game. He's Chatosinko.
He's not going to be He is not going to
be a kicker in the XFL, only because he's had
his time, not because he couldn't do it. I explain
why I couldn't write. You explained what, Chad. Thanks so much,
thank you. I appreciate that's Chatoosinko hanging out this here
on the Doug Gotlip Show on Fox Sports Radio. Speaking

(01:27:46):
of hometown guys, his guy Teddy Bridgewater joined us next.
Gottlip Show week days at three p m. Easter noon Pacific.
Stug Gotlip Show here a Fox Sports Radio live in Miami,
just off South Beach, and no one knows this area
better than a hometown kid, who, of course is the
talk of the NFL. Where will he play next? A

(01:28:08):
franchise quarterback in his own right, He's Teddy Bridgewater. He
joins us here on Fox Sports Radio. Miami Senior High
School is like a driver away from here right now.
I know my I'm a hoop guy, Miami Senior High School.
I had a buddy who played at Indiana. I remember,
I know the coaches there. You went to Miami Northwest? Northwest?
How far is that from here? About fifteen minutes? Fifteen

(01:28:29):
minutes north? Did was senior any good? Uh? Miami Senior?
When you were playing you dusted him in football? Yeah?
Well we didn't playing with football in a different district class. Yeah. Yeah,
It's it's crazy out here, man. Okay, I know football
is crazy out here. Okay, So who are who are
the other guy? When you were you were coming out
of high school, okay, before you went to Louisville. Who

(01:28:51):
are the other guys that are playing locally? Um played
against DeVante Frameman twice a year, him John Miller who
plays guard for the Bengals. UM, Charles Gaines just played
corner for the Cleveland Brown They were all on that
same team. UH played against Duke Johnson, Quentin Dunbar at
Bogot Duke went to UM Miami Norland. Alan Hearns played

(01:29:13):
at Carol City, Olivier Vernon played at American. I believe Um.
I mean, it's just dude that way, and and and
I and I would guess it's like this in high
school football. I think it's like when you just like
there's a guy like, oh, oh yeah, I got he's
he's gonna I don't know if you thought everybody's gonna
play in the league, do you know they're gonna be

(01:29:33):
big time college? Definitely? Man. Shoot, I thought the entire
Miami Central team was going to make it to the NFL,
and actually about five guys from that team didn't make
it to the NFL that I lost to my senior,
Davonte Frame and Charles Gaines h Carol Phillips. They were
recruited recruiting illegal inducement Northwest. It was legit. It was

(01:29:58):
Teddy Bridgewater joining us on the Dug Gottlieb Show. I
I've always I've always wanted to ask you this, and
I don't know if it's a this way, but I
remember when you hurt your knee, and I remember people's reaction,
teammates reactions. I know a couple of your teammates at
the time, from Kyle Rudolph to others, and they just said, like, look,
we all loved Teddy. You know. The year before you

(01:30:20):
guys lost in that miss field goal right to Seattle,
and you were starting to kind of come into your
own to go from that point where people there was
the thought that you might lose your leg, you wouldn't
fry football to this year getting a chance to show
that now you can play but win in this league,
like to win up in Seattle. What's that like for you?
Man Um, It's it's a great feeling knowing that God

(01:30:43):
is so faithful. You know, even during the times where
you may question him, you know he always He's always there.
He's always gonna bring it through whatever you're going through.
So I was at one of my lowest points in life.
But at the same time, I wasn't at my lowest
point because I knew that I was fulfilling my purpose
in life. You know. Yeah, from an athletics standpoint, I
was down. You know, I wanted to play. I'm a competitor,

(01:31:05):
and God just was in a new level of competition
from me, which was trying to get healthy. So every
day was a battle and uh, just a competition to
just get better. Who helped you? Because I mean, like
as much as you have to be so confident to
be the type of athlete you are, there has to
have been somebody who during your during your tough times,
is like, yo, man, you're you're gonna be okay, Like

(01:31:27):
you're sitting there in the hospital and you're you know
what was me and football season was started? Like that's
the worst part was you did it? It was like
the last practice, so literally last practice, training camp and
and so now you have to watch a season and
you were a mobile. Was there somebody or a group
of somebody who that that helps you? Yeah? Man, it
was a group of people you know who who are

(01:31:48):
very close to me. And there's too many of the name,
but they know they have a special place in my heart. Man,
just being by my side. You know, when a ton
of people may have turned their backs on me because
I wasn't playing anymore or you know, different reasons for
different reasons, but they were there and they continue to
believe in me. And that's why, you know, when I
go out there and play on Sundays. It's for them,
you know, because they're the ones who believed in me

(01:32:08):
when everyone else lost faith and everything. You know, I
still understand that this solid group of people still believe
in me no matter what. Um, for the next fifty years,
we'll talk about the Super Bowl teams. This is the
unfairness of sports. In the short term, the Saints have
lost in remarkably unlucky fashion, right the last two years, right,

(01:32:30):
I mean both pastors like I didn't think we should
be called passing inference this year. Obviously everybody thought it
should been called last year. Whatever the point is. And
then you go back to the Minnesota game like it's crazy.
But you know, I think as we study history, like
very few times we go back des caught it, we
don't we we very seldomly we go back and look
at those games. We just say, hey, this team won

(01:32:52):
the Super Bowl. They were the best pay the best team. Um,
what's happened like to be a part of because from
where New Orleans us before you got there a couple
years for you where they couldn't stop anybody defensively, and
it looked like Drew was gonna go out as a
non playoff and they finally to being so good and
so close, but having it ripped away from you in
the last play. Well next to let you know, a

(01:33:13):
couple of plays in overtime. What what's happening like? Part
of man? Um, it's it's it's been difficult to deal with,
UM just understanding that you know, you worked so hard
to get to this point and to lose it, you know,
the way we've lost the last two years, and UM,
it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Takes a
little time and get over. But UM, I understand that

(01:33:35):
you can't do well on something for too long. You
have to, you know, prepare yourself. It was'n't next And
uh that's the manset. Great, I'm glad you've brand there.
What is next? Well, right now, what's next? Is UM
going to continue to do more interviews? Yeah? Out here
represent Penninia, Panninia, American trading cars and got the skills
clinic coming up Friday at Miami Centro. So essentially, Man,

(01:33:58):
I'm not I'm not too excited about that. Man, We're
going to the rival school. But you know, it's been
a good good, good environment, good atmosphere. Okay, So but
I just you know, I mean, obviously can't tell me
where you're going whatever. It is interesting though, that last
year you could have been a starting quarterback, right like
the teams wanted you to be a starter, and you
chose to be I think, the highest paid backup in

(01:34:19):
the league. And you've got opportunities this year. Um, why
why would you? Why why did you make that decision? Um?
Just at the time, you know, UM, I didn't want
to make a decision with my heart. UM. You know,
I'm a local guy from Miami. You know I love Miami.
But you know, at the same time, I'm a I'm

(01:34:39):
a businessman, and I make decisions with my mind and
I think things through rationally. And I just felt like
New Orleans was the best place at the time for
me to just continue to grow as a player. Um,
I was twenty six years old. You still have a
lot of football left in me. So I told myself, Man,
if you know, I go back to New Orleans, I
can continue to just be that spange and just soak
up the game from Drew, from Sean and that quarterback

(01:35:00):
from the offensive staff, and you know, be a part
of something special. Because, um, the way we lost the
year before to the Rams. You know, you just wanted
to come back and be a part of that that
that environment again. And I had the opportunity to play
five games this year and um and play great. Like
I mean, I was sitting there and I have like
two friends or gms, and both of them like, man,

(01:35:20):
I would love to get my hands on Teddy. They're
so lucky to have him. And then you play in
there like He's like, see you guys still like it almost.
I just I wonder how you internally process that because
you did sacrifice a lot in order to sit and
learn and get another year, because you do have a
lot of football left. But you have to be like,
look I could I could that could? That could be me? Right?

(01:35:42):
Like there is there is that ego, Like you can
tell me, I I sacrifice my ego, but there's still
the ego inside you going like I know I can
do this. Yeah, definitely, Um, that competitor that driving me
that you wouldn't be who you are. My foundation is
built on that, and you know, I'm glad I have
five games, so to just go out there improve that.
You know, I can play this game, And that's been
my mindset, you know, ever since I got back that

(01:36:03):
I can still play this game at how love? Okay,
so what's going to be? What? What? What is the
thing you were looking for? Like if you said if
I'm like you know how it works in recruiting, Like
all the coaches like, man, you gotta tell them this
this what what does? What does Teddy Bridgewater? What? What
are the trigger words? And maybe not even You're smarter
than that, right, What does a team have to have

(01:36:23):
to get you as quarterback? Because a lot of teams
need quarterbacks. Um, I just need a nice bike rack,
fooling a round my bikes to the game. You gotta
be in a city that you can ride your bike.
You made yourself. You're an internet meme with the dancing
right and riding the bike. Yeah, so you gotta you
gotta find a city that's a bike friendly city. Not
every city is a bike friendly city. You're right. New

(01:36:44):
Orleans has been good to me. New Orleans has nice
commute to the stadium, nice bike rads. So all right,
Tomorrow's skills clinic Miami Central High Schools. I'm sure everyone
in the world is hitting you up for where the
where the spots? Where do I go? Can I just
mentioned your name. Do I know if you know Teddy Bridgewater,
you can cut in line everywhere something like that. Man,

(01:37:06):
I mean I got Lamar's bigger than you here, is that? Uh?
If you not not not here, yes, but if you
go about forty five minutes more North Broward, he's the man.
He's the man. Miami's Miami's territory. Yeah, well not not Mimi.
It's not not Miami. Be you gotta go across the
bridge a little bit and Liberty City opaaka Miami Garden.

(01:37:29):
That's the way. Now, Whe's where's Chad's territory? Awesome? Yeah? Yeah,
I mean we we're from the same areas. But but
you because it's done. I'm the young cat right now.
All right, Teddy bridge Wall, We're all gonna be waiting
to hear where you're playing next year. In the meantime, congratulations,
take a bow. I'm betting on yourself and I'm sure
you're gonna win very very soon. Thanks for joining us.

Thank you. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk

So Rob Gronkowsky. Gronk had this to say, of course
she's works for us here at Fox. I truly believe
he he being Tom Brady, deserves the opportunity to go
explore see what's out there. I've been playing so long,

(01:38:14):
just the way he's been playing, the level he's been
playing at, he definitely deserves an opportunity to go out
there and test the market. I tend to agree. I
tend to agree. Here's the problem with the market. Okay,
it might not be what you think it is. Now.
Maybe the Chargers are willing to overpay him and give

(01:38:34):
him more years and more money than than the Patriots.
There's a reason for that, right, you have to overpay
to get guys out. Um, there's a possibility that the
market that he thinks exists does not actually exist for him.
Like we have this this thought that there's this pool
of money reserved for Tom Brady because of greatness. It
doesn't mean he's not great, It just means, right now,

(01:38:56):
would you pay thirty million dollars for Tom Brady for
a year or two years? You know? And and it's
the burden of hand is better than the two in
the bush, Like by the way, we somehow created this
narrative where it's okay for Tom Brady to explore, but
what about the Patriots? Can they explore? You know, Patriots
can bring in other guys. Whoa wait a second, why
are you bringing those guys? Because he hasn't committed. That's

(01:39:18):
really why they want to know. Hey, we don't want
to embarrass you, like the Patriots actually doing this right,
We don't want to embarrass you. We don't want to
go and bring in guys that are inferior to their careers,
are inferior to yours, because but we need a quarterback.
If you want to be our quarterback, you gotta let
us know sooner rather than later. I actually completely understand
that that stands. The question becomes who's willing to overpay

(01:39:40):
more more money for too many years to get Tom Brady?
Are the Chargers that team? I think more so than
the Raiders When we look at the possibilities of the teams,
I think those are the two teams that you look at.
I think just for the for the logistics of the
Chargers moving into their new stadium, the Chargers the Chargers,
I think they are two arched to it. Though, Okay,

(01:40:01):
The first is the financier. You're talking about the stadium.
They haven't sold a lot of seats. Yes, okay, brings
him to l A. That's the idea, and they have
really good skill position players. Um My thought though, is
that one of the big complaints the Chargers have about
Philip Rivers is you can't move. And it's not running
for a first down can't move. It's you can't even

(01:40:23):
run the screen game with him because he's just a
non athlete. And I kind of think Brady is in
that similar He's in that similar um stage in his career.
He's a he was a better athlete at his you know,
in terms of the screen game than Philip Rivers in
his prime, but in your forties, you're not You're not
moving around along those same lines. Is the same reason
why I don't know if Oakland is if fit because

(01:40:45):
I think that John Gruden wants a guy who can
go more downfield as opposed to then what Derek Carr was.
So if they were to make a move and move
on that Jamis is the guy there. That's what I
said to They have enough draft capital even if Tampa
Bay tagged him that if they wanted to swing a
d you could actually work out a trade to do
something there. I wholeheartedly I think he ends up. Jamis

(01:41:07):
ends up there. I think Rivers ends up in Tampa's more,
those two things are more likely. And as much as
I I get that if you're if you're Tampa, do
you already have Jamis? Why would you bring another guy
who's turnover prone? You know, I don't Bruce Arians not
gonna coach forever. I think he wants to win and
win now. I think he thinks he has a good team,

(01:41:27):
and I think he thinks Philip Rivers is just better
than Jameis Winston. I think it's a mistake. I love
Philip Rivers. I think it's a mistake. You know, the
glowing recommendation of Bruce Arians, that lack thereof of Jamis Winston.
It just didn't sound like like if he really really
wanted him, like it really would have sounded like you
wanted to remember, like I can't remember verbatim when he

(01:41:49):
said at the end of the year, but it didn't
sound like it was a great sale of yeah, we
want Jamis Winston here. So but back to the Brady
point of I I just I think that's more of
the fit. I think there's a lot of danger. Not danger,
but there's issues if you go somewhere else. Uh, things
are really good. It's his offense. Everything in New England
is his and that's what you risk leaving. Yeah, you
have the right to leave, but and to your point,

(01:42:11):
it may not be his decision really in the end, music,
what do you think? I think Brady stays in New England?
I really do. And this is something that I've been
telling you in terms of we did this. I believe
it was on the herd when you filled in uh
last Friday, where you sort of look at each of
the situations where he might go. And there's a pretty

(01:42:33):
big reason why. It doesn't make very much sense. Some
people like Colin had floated out the Colts. I really
don't think Tom Brady would ever go and play for
the team that's known for being Peyton Manning's team. Uh.
Everything you said with the Chargers and Raiders I agree with,
And like, do we really think Tom Brady is gonna

(01:42:53):
go and play for the Tennessee Titans? Like I just
don't see it. Like every every move you may, there's
one major reason why, And I think he just ends up.
He looks at the situation and sure he probably does
maybe try to test the free agency market, and I
think he ends up realizing, Hey, you know what, at
this point in my career, I might as well just

(01:43:15):
stay where I'm at. I think Shane Stuken is the
new uh offensive coording with the Chargers. He took over
mid season in October. Like, do you really think that
Tom Brady is gonna go like, Hey, I've been doing
it this way for twenty years, so uh, we're gonna
do it my way and Shane Stikeen like it doesn't
That's not the way it works. You don't go and

(01:43:37):
work for guys that you've never worked with before, and
you know, look at their coaching staff. Those aren't Patriot guys.
That doesn't make any sense. Everybody goes and works with
people that they worked before. Look at here. You know,
do you think I would have come to Fox if
if I hadn't worked with I wasn't friendly with with
Cowherd and hadn't worked with Scott Shapiro before. Is our boss? Like?
Of course not, because there's some trust built in there.

(01:43:59):
They know how you are and how you operate, how
you do things. Otherwise, it's just to the the The
change is too much. It's just too much. And I
don't I don't. If Josh McDaniels had moved, then I
think it could happen. I don't see what happened about
Josh M. Dale's. I think it's a two way street.
Is it's you know you mentioned at the beginning of
the Patriots. They have their own decision to make, and
specifically Bill Belichick has his own decision to make. So

(01:44:22):
while we say, like I don't think Tom Brady is
gonna leave New England, you know, because maybe the possibilities
aren't out there, aren't great, Well, they're gonna have to
offer him something. They're not gonna not offer him a
contract that there's no reality to that. Now will they do?
What do you remember when um St. Louis Cardinals offered
uh Albert pool Holes a contract. They offered him a

(01:44:44):
six year deal for like I'm gonna say a hundred
and thirty or something, right, which is over over twenty
a year. And then you know he wanted a ten
year deal. So at the end they offered him like
three one year options that like something small like six
million of piece whatever like, hey, you want a nine
year fine, But it was basically, we made an offer
before the year, same offer after the year, and he

(01:45:07):
was like, thanks me. And he didn't actually take top dollar.
Top dollar was the Marlins. He took the Angels because
the Angels had were a good franchise and had one
and it was three million dollars. Right. It was a
contract that Cardinals offered was enough for them to go
to their fans and go, hey, we offered him over
twenty million dollars year, way more than we want to spend.
We offered him a nine year contract. It was enough

(01:45:28):
to save face, but also not enough so that they
knew he would turn it down. That's a possibility with
the Patriots, the idea that they wouldn't offer him a deal,
that they'd let him walk. I don't think that's possibility, Dan,
How do you think Brady played this year? Because I
know I've asked Doug this. It feels like you can
say he didn't play great, But I'm not sure what

(01:45:49):
other quarterback other than maybe a Patrick Mahomes or Russell
Wilson could have done more with what they had on
the Patriots offense. How would you assess how he played
because I think the Patriots look at it almost in
the same respect, where what are their options realistically in
order for them to have success next season. I was

(01:46:09):
twenty four touchdowns, eight uh interceptions. His rating was like
somewhere around twenty just from doing this for the last
couple of weeks. I think that's what it is. I
think it's a bigger picture like that. I think he
maxed out with that. They're you're not gonna bring other guys,
you know who? Who Who are you going to turn
that thing over to to bring in to all of

(01:46:32):
a sudden have this all this new talent there. They
were a running team last year, built on defense and
running the football. It's probably what they should have been
this year. But I mean they could, but they couldn't
run it that well running backs. The offensive line wasn't
as good. He's still doing four thousand yards, right, So
what's crazy about now? You have played all sixteen games, uh,
and he's one of eleven quarterbacks who through for four
thousand yards. Garoppolo did not throw four thousand, although he

(01:46:54):
didn't need to many of the time. Um, I think
he played fine. I don't I but I don't. I
don't he's not going to play better next year, like
the idea that you get to forty three and you're
going to be better. I don't you know. They they
they tried to establish themselves as a running team to
protect him. Um. I do think that the fixes are
not that hard with the Patriots, Like finding a tight

(01:47:14):
end is not nearly as hard as finding a quarterback.
Finding wide receivers is not as hard. And I do
think that the guys that were there, some new and
uh nikkill Harry will be better next year. I think
it's the same argument we have with with Aaron Rodgers
when you talk about the weapons. You know, Aaron Rodgers,
we talked about all of the defense, and not to
get into an Aaron Rodgers thing with you, Doug, but
the point is is, guess what, maybe notw the Patriots

(01:47:35):
trying to fix their defense and it's become one of
the better ones in the National Football League, Maybe they've
taken a hit on the offensive side. It's the same
thing with the Green Bay Packers. You obviously you bring
into the Zadarius Smith, you bring in Preston Smith, and
bringing these guys, guess who's gonna take the hit? The
other side of the ball, you know. So you don't
have Jordy Nels, you don't have Randall Cob, you don't
have all those guys there. So it's your massaging a lot.

(01:47:58):
And I think New England's got to figure out a way,
no pun intended to figure out how to massage this
all right? Coming up next, Um, Roger Dale spoke today
and uh, you'll be interested to hear what he said
about the future of the NFL, regards their c b
A playing overseas and his own future within football. That's next.

(01:48:20):
gott Leap Show weekdays at three pm Easter noon Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio a
app Doug Gotli Show Fox Sports Radio. Man, did I
get loud in my era? How? How did that happen? Um,
let's stop full around with it and get to the press,
the press, Dan Buyer, what do you have, Roger Goodell?

(01:48:46):
Maybe going to the moneyball sort of things, analytics if
you will, because he started out his state of the
League address, and that's what's gonna be about the what's
gonna be in the press today With a couple of
numbers that were surprising. I mentioned the one a little
while go that of all games featured at least one
starting quarterback under the age of seven this season. He
also had another one nearly seventy percent of games this season,

(01:49:10):
we're within one score in the fourth quarter. Yeah there there,
I mean, yeah, I mean they're uh, they have made
the league exceptionally close, and they we have had this.
We we now have a new supply of young quarterbacks,
and I we kind of said that was that start
this year where I said, like one of the things
about Brady and Breeze and Rivers and Rogers and Roethlisberger

(01:49:33):
playing a little bit longer is it's gonna allow us
to stockpile young arms and young quarterbacks so that we're
not gonna be On the other hand, I thought there
wouldn't be as many jobs available, and now there are,
because you know, some of the young guys think Ryan
and I know I've had a conversation about this middle
ground now when you have all these young arms and
you have all the old arms. It was basically Russell
Wilson and Andrew luck that we thought were gonna be

(01:49:54):
like the middle guys to kind of bridge that. Now
it's Cam Newton. His status is gonna I'll get I'll
give you one here. Just remember Joe Brady is the
new offensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers. Right, I suppose
the rank brings in the Saints system. Where is Joe
Brady was with the Saints two years ago? Yep? Does

(01:50:19):
it make sense anybody else? Right? Just Sam, It makes
a little sense to me. Roger Goodell also talked today
when I asked about a c B A and adding
a seventeenth game, says, they don't look at it as
just as a a singular thing. They look at it
as the total season. A lot of c B A
I think, Uh, what basically saying is that if they're

(01:50:40):
gonna add a seventeenth game, they don't just look and say, Okay,
what is this gonna do to the regular season. They
want to figure out what it's gonna do to training camps,
what it's gonna do to O T. A. S. So,
you know, it's a part of the discussion with the
c bias that if there is a seventeenth game, expect
a lot fewer practices along with that fewer preseason games
as well, or at least some offseason work. That's like

(01:51:00):
from the commission. Okay, Um, I don't think they'll get
the seventeen game. I think they'll out a playoff game.
I think that's what they'll do. I I just think
they keep trying to paint it as a different picture.
I don't mind. I'm like, look, I'm not a player.
I do think a seventeen game will where you down
some Um. I would love that second by week and
I would love this to be, you know, feed us

(01:51:22):
into President's Day weekend where you had Sunday than you
everybody had Monday off. I just I don't understand why
we haven't gotten there yet. He was asked today about
the possibility of opening the NFL season in Los Angeles
It's so Fi Stadium on Thursday night because they broke
from tradition this year. Goodell said that traffic wouldn't be
a concern of THEIRS for a five o'clock weekday game
in l A, but did also say they have flexibility

(01:51:43):
with the Super Bowl champions, so whoever wins on Sunday
could host that Thursday night or Sunday night games, just
like the Patriots did this past season, but the Super
Bowl champ would be in one of those two windows,
so it's not just exclusive to the Thursday anymore. I
didn't know that. Yeah I didn't either. I just thought
it was a one off this year with the anniversary.
But that's actually super like I actually this is what

(01:52:04):
this is the good stuff that Goodell does share with you,
things like I didn't and like fans don't care now,
and then like when the season starts next year and
then all of a sudden they care, like what happened
and you're gonna have You're gonna want to make a
RAM special opening weekend, a Raiders special opening weekend, and
a charger space. So you gotta figure out how to
do that in the first three weeks of the the year.
Oh and he's also said Patriots investigation hasn't been that

(01:52:27):
lengthy of an investigation, and they will get it right
because somebody said, hey, what are we going to get
a conclusion? Isn't it cutting Dry said not so, but
so we could wait. We're still waiting on the on
the ball inflation stuff to come out. That's true, like
four years ago. Uh, and that's the press. The press,

(01:52:48):
Sean Payton Tomorrow, Melvin Gordon Tomorrow, Aaron Donald All tomorrow. Um,
all tomorrow right, good day to day. Um. If you
want to listen to the pod, you can download it TA.
I thought Terry Bridgewater is great. I thought Channon Sharp
was great and Ryan Music was great. For all the
hard work. All right, We're back tomorrow on the Doug
