Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's our one on this Tuesday, Dan and the Dan
Edge Dan Patrick Show. We're so phony. We're watching mixed
table tennis gold medal match and we act like we
know what's going on. We're experts here. Paulie's giving me
the strategy of here of what they're doing. You know,
I think you want to hit it right down the
middle and then you force the two partners to come

(00:27):
together and decide if they're gonna who's gonna hit it,
and and they don't have rallies. It feels like it
lasts about I don't know, three four seconds, like bloop bloop, bloop,
bloop bloop. Then that's it. Next point and we're we're
now we're experts on this. Yeah, every four years maybe
we watch some of these events, but now we're an
expert here. We know exactly what's going on handball curling,

(00:51):
when that happens in the Winter Olympics. We just embrace
these and then we move on and never talk about
them again.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yes, I'm watching men's synchron diving last night. You had
a real problem with this massive problem with massive and
rightfully so explain to the audience. It's men's synchronized diving. Okay,
that means synchronized diving. There are two divers who go
at the same time, and in my opinion, they have

(01:18):
to stay in sync, right, they have to do the
same moves at the same time as closely as possible
and then get into the water with as little splash
as possible. Okay, Right, so I'm watching, So they're supposed
to mirror each other. Yeah, yeah, they should be like
exactly the entire dive they mirror each other. It's like
you're looking at one, but you could be looking at

(01:38):
the other.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
And so I'm watching and the announcers like, oh, well,
you're gonna get some points off for this.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
You're gonna get to what other this is that?

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
And then the team from China gets up there and
they're crushing everybody. Right, they go and do their dive.
They basically can take a victory lap. They got this
thing wrapped up. They get up there and they in
real time time, it looked flawless. It was like, holy crap,
that was amazing. Look at what they just did and
they were barely even trying. And then when they showed
the video slowed down. They were clearly out of sync.

(02:09):
One guy's head was at like twelve o'clock, the other
one was closer to like two or three. And I'm like, well,
wait a minute, that's not synchronized. I don't understand this.
And the announcer said in the moment, we yeah, but
that's not a big deal. That's not a big deal.
It matters how they get into the water. That's what
really counts. What then, why isn't it called just diving?
Why is it called synchronized diving if being in sync

(02:29):
is not important.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I don't get it. I'm right there with you.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
I am like, well, technically it was a much more
difficult dive, so they're gonna get points for that. That'll
balance out whatever they got. I think they got like
a nine point five, almost a perfect score. But if
you can't stay in sync, then don't try it as
difficult to dive. Because if you're gonna try the more
difficult dive and you can't do it, then you should
get points off.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yes, if you're not synchronized, then you should lose points
for synchronized diving. Yeah, it seems fair. I don't know.
Maybe that's just me. Oh, I don't think you're alone.
I think there are a lot of people outraged at
that last night. Throw up all of our papers.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
This is what I'm doing just before I'm going to bed.
By the way, I'm like yelling at my wife. I'm like, babe,
what is it? They're not sync though, Like they're not
in sync. It's like eleven thirty. Would you just just
go to bed?

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Women's gymnastics later today, the finals, swimming, finals, rugby, surfing
as well. Men's gymnastics team got a bronze medal. That's
a big deal. That was a really, really big deal
because the men's gymnastics team is sort of like the
men's soccer team in the Olympics, probably don't expect too much,

(03:44):
and the fact that they won the bronze is pretty impressive. Now,
if the women's team would win a bronze, that would
be terrible, that would be a huge disappointment. But the
men they won the bronze and all as well. So far,
USA women rolled Japan yesterday. I don't know who their
competition is gonna come from. They may have one of

(04:06):
those games where you go, okay, a little interesting here,
and it comes like this, you are going to try
to beat them shooting the three because they have great size.
Nobody has the size, although China has. I think the
tallest woman in the world. Is she like seven eight
or something like that. Checking Okay, now, I watched her

(04:29):
play of course during my scouting here, my prep work,
and she kind of labors up and down the floor.
But if she gets it up high, it's pretty hard
to stop her. I don't know if that team is good,
but I know that she gets like forty points a game,
just because everybody else is probably under six feet and

(04:50):
she's seven seven to eight. Yes, Pauline, I.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
Think you're right, But I have the roster. It's and
in centimeters, so I gotta I needed like a month
to figure that out.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, all right, we're ahead of ourselves here. We're experts
here on the Summer Olympics. Here we say good morning.

question and Stats of the Day coming up as well
Baseball trade deadline later on, and we have a real

(05:43):
issue with the triathlon in Paris. We'll talk about that.
They're nervous about the river, the Sen River being polluted.
What's been polluted for over two thousand years, and they
spent over a billion dollars trying to clean it up
point four billion to be exact, to clean up the river. Yeah,

(06:06):
I've been to Paris. I wouldn't get in that water
unless somebody I knew was in the water and needed help.
That would be it. But they're trying to clean up
two thousand years of pollution there in four years, and
they spend over a billion dollars. And you imagine they're
not even sure if you swallow the water, like what

(06:28):
what could happen to you during the race. It is
a triathlon, but yeah, you're just swimming and you're gonna
take in some water one point four billion dollars to
clean up the river to have a triathlon, Yes, Paul.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
They have to test for equal eye levels daily and
if it doesn't, if it's not declared safe by a
number of officials, they have to postpone it. That's why
they're trying to do it so early. They have to
keep postponing it. But if you start swallow some of
that water, there might be a four level of the triathlon.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
That's not so pain, that's so much fun.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
They uh, you know, depending on the rain. If it rains,
then it makes it even worse. But yeah, that that's
literally a mess.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yes, they said the river is vulnerable to occasional sewage
runoff if heavy rains overwhelm the new water treatment system
that cost one point four Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Of course, the true Olympic spirit swimming in pollution. But
you know, we're okay with it. We're like, eh, I
don't care what happens to those triath leads after they're done,
go out there and entertainers dive into the deep end
of the river there.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, see, I do love the just like human arrogance
of that. We could clean it up, Yeah, don't worry
about it. Yeah, how do you think that went? Where
somebody goes?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Uh, you know what, we should have the triathlon in
the sen River. Yes, that would look great, okay, but
we got to clean it up. Oh you know who
can clean it up. Jimmy Lipper. Yeah, he's gonna do it.
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Just throw a ton of money at us and we'll
be able to clean up just hundreds of years of abuse.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Ye, don't worry about thousands of years of abuse there.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And like black plate, like some of the worst human
disease pestilence.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes, and the gold medal for pestilence goes to France. Goongratulations. Hey,
our river's dirtier than yours. Oh, I don't know about that.
So that's the triathlon weather permitting. We have some of
our best people working on that story. We're trying to

(08:36):
get an expert there to join us. Didn't the like
the mayor jump in the water. She she jumped in
to say, hey, it's okay, and then quickly jumped out
of the water. They were doing some you know, press tour. Hey,
everything's great and safe over here, and I'm going to
jump in the in the river. And then she jumped

(08:56):
in and quickly jumped out. It's not like she was
swimming for a month breathing. Has anybody seen the mayor sense? Oh? Okay,
that's the question. I don't know. I don't know what's
poll question we're going to go with first?

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Howur Here, we're actually getting some very interesting suggestions from
Paul and Todd.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay, by the way, Mike Hushevsky will join us coming
up next down.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
I can't I'm not going to describe them as hater questions,
but they both are tinged with a certain edge that
I find very interestinged. Okay, let's say one suggestion here was,
if you were the bullying type, would you pick on
the US men's gymnastic team.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, I don't know why, Todd, I don't know why.
This was an issue where you saw them with their
bronze medals and you go, oh, you know what, if
we were in the lunch room, I'd knock their trays over,
which is so.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
Not like me because I was actually on the receiving
end of bullying, like in school, where people would like,
you know, try to push over your tray or knock
over your milk or something.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
But they had that nerdy look.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
And the first thing, just looking at that group picture
made me think you saw them like at a cafeteria in
your local elementary school of middle school.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Someone might want to go over there and start up
with them.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
You didn't say someone you said? You said, you.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
Say, but I'm not the bullying type. I probably shouldn't
have said to me because I've never I've been bullied.
I've never like done anything.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
But you brought this up this morning. I did. You
showed us a picture and you said, look at those nerds.
I want to go pick on them.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yes, I did at that moment.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
I was being a little restless, but you know, looking back,
I wouldn't be the one. I might encourage someone else
to go over there and do all I watch, but
I don't think I would initiate the bully. But the
choices were, why not I can take those dudes and
their pommel horse, or no, thank you, they'll wrings my neck.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Okay. I would never mess on with somebody who's short
or shorter, because they've probably been bullied a lot in
their life and they're going to have leverage on you
little center at gravity. Yes, yes, it's tough. To move. Yes,
like you're gonna go over there and you're gonna knock
their tray over. Next thing, you know, they're going to
be climbing up your leg, roughing you up. See that's

(10:59):
not necessary. I'm sorry. Hey, that's how you start a
fight with somebody. I don't know if you're aware of
that tall guy smack talk, Yeah, yeah, yeah. How's the
weather down there?

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Here's another suggestion, sort of similar but not really Olympic athlete,
I'd least like to fight that removing martial arts. Why
are we fighting anybody? Why are we fighting any of
these Olympians? They're all in phenomenon like infinitely better shape
than any of us. Why why in the world. I
don't want to fight a badminton guy. I don't Why
are we angry? I don't want to fight any gymnasts.

(11:33):
I don't want to fight any swimmers.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
No, I don't want somebody who's got a gun either
part of his sport, his discipline, shot put her. I'm
not messing with him. Why why be angry today? Toddy?

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Why's not a Todd Pole question? That one was Paul Paul,
Why are we angry today?

Speaker 5 (11:50):
That was based off Todd's inference that gymnastics guys are soft,
even though they're completely huge and jacked.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
I think he was just he you thought they look,
there's one guy who's wearing glasses.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Yeah it was. It was from the neck up kind
of thing.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
You know, what's behind the what's under the outfit there
on the sweatsuit.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
You don't want to mess with that. Okay, they'll make
your bar uneven.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Talk today. Yeah, you're gonna knock him off his pommel horse.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, you with the glasses get over here? All right?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
A sudden, he just turned into the kid from Christmas
Story Grover Dill. And what's the name farcascas?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Kill me?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yea?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
What other pool questions do we have? All right, here's
another negative temper the anger today. Okay, well this will
cause some anger, but it's certainly negative. Most corrupt but
awesome sporting event the Olympics, World Cup or other an.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, anarchy? Fine, I think we need to start this
show over right. I don't know what happened here, all right. Uh,
I'm gonna say the Olympics. There's more sports there than
the World Cup. Yeah, the World Cup could be corrupt

(13:13):
for the city getting the World Cup. The Olympics certainly couldn't.
Now they are for the most part. They've been very
corrupt there for a while. Certain cities. It's like, how
did Putin get the Olympics? Probably overspent by a couple
twenty billion dollars there. Okay, we'll go to Sochi LA

(13:35):
in four years. Who even knew there was a place
called Sochi prior to the Olympics. But we're going there
Arena really yes, yes, tom So, how much of the.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
Olympic corruption is something that a player or an athlete
or a team is doing versus how did your country
get the Olympics in the first place?

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I think probably bribing the IOC for the site. Maybe
that would be corruption. Yes, it would be who got
the World Cup and they had to play at night
because it was too hot? Was that cutter? Qatar?

Speaker 5 (14:07):
They had to move it to a different season.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yes, they had to change the whole like calendar year
based on it.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
When they pitched that World Cup, they said it will
be in summer. We're gonna be ready for summer, blah
blah blah. Approved, and then they're like three years, like, well,
we can't actually do it in summer.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't even think they thought of it. They're like, wait, man,
you're gonna spend how much money?

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Okay, And that was what finally got a whole bunch
of people to retire to you know, I think I've
done now.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah, I think I'm good. Yeah, you guys take it over.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'm gonna go out on this one. Yeah, this is
my last one. Thank you. I'm gonna set yeah, all right,
we'll settle on a poll question here phone calolls are
always welcome. And Mike Shuyszewski, he was part of quite
a few Olympic teams. I think he was there in
eighty four with Bob Knight in LA. He was there
with the Dream Team as well as an assistant coach,
but his teams won three gold medals in the Olympics

(14:58):
with him as the head coach. We'll talk to coach
k he'll join us coming up next hour and we'll
come back whole question right after this Dan Patrick show.

Play the day Coming up, settle on our poll question.
Phone calls are welcome. USA women's basketball team roughed up
Japan their Olympic opener. They're fifty six to oh in
the Olympics since nineteen ninety two, looking for their eighth
consecutive gold medal. Just too much talent, too much size.
Japan's tallest players six ' one. Team usas six players

(16:13):
that are least six ' one. I also watch a
little bit of tennis. Novak Djokovic defeated Rafa Nadal six ' one,
six ' four second round, and that might be the
last time that these two face one another. Joker has
a thirty one twenty nine edge over Raffin Nadal all right,

(16:35):
eight seven to seven to three. Dp show email address
Dpadanpatrick dot com. We found out that there's men's field hockey.
I did not know that. There are just certain things
that you know, we're getting kind of a refresher on
the Olympics. Some of it is brand new to us.
But women's field hockey, of course we know about that,
the men's field hockey as well. We also have a

(16:58):
quick Olympic quiz. Fritzy will do the honors of a
quick Olympic quiz. Todd is here with his olymp Big quiz.
It's going to be quick, it bad terb.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Could you reffer that was fantastic?

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Okay, okay, your quick Olympic quiz.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
There are two questions.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
The first one is in the Olympic Games is the
sport called a ping pong? It's like I want to
be a millionaire, but three choices A ping pong, B,
table tennis, see other in the Olympic Games as a
sport ping pong, table tennis, or something altogether different than those.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
All right, I'm going to give you table tennis. Final answer.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
Table tennis is an Olympic sport, and ping pong is
mostly referred to as just a hobby or recreational activity.
So you are right this table tennis strictly during the
Olympic game.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah. They take it personally when you say, oh, you're
a ping pong player, it's table ten No, it's table tennis. Okay,
what else do you have? What's your other question?

Speaker 6 (18:06):
The official name for the table tennis equipment you hit
the ball with is a racket, a paddle other?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yes, Paul, it has to be paddle.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
I actually I think I actually heard them use the
phrase paddle an hour ago on the air.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
It's not a racket. They call it a slammer. What else?
What is it called? Time?

Speaker 6 (18:25):
According to the International Table Tennis Federation also known as
i TTF, the term paddle is commonly used in the
United States, while bat is.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
More common in Britain.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
However, racket is the word used by the International Table
Tennis Federation.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
They're actually using a racket at the Olympic Games.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Table tennis players use a racket. Ping pong players use
a paddle.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
There you go, that's probably right.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
That this is a racket, I said, corrected. Okay, thank you.
That is the quick Olympic quiz you by.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
You learn something new every day?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, yes, we do. I saw the which US golfer
will have the best finish at the Olympics. Yeah, Scotti
Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite. There begins on Thursday, Xander
Shoffley a second, then Calla Morikawa and Wyndham Clark. That's
our US team. There also a couple other things. I

(19:20):
saw this with DraftKings, and there's a story about the
potential for a story about Michigan football that may potentially
come out that may potentially saddle them with a one
or two year postseason ban because of the spying that happened. Okay,
I don't know if that factors into the odds to

(19:42):
win the Big Ten according to DraftKings, because Ohio State
is the favorite, followed by Oregon, then it's Penn State,
then it's Michigan, and then way down the list is
USC and Iowa. You have a top heavy Big Ten
with Ohio State, Oregon, and hen State and Michigan as well.

(20:02):
But Michigan may face a one or two year postseason
ban because of what happened with the spying scandal. Connor's Stallion.
There's a documentary coming out. I think it's called Sign Stealer.
I guess they've already made up their mind that he's
guilty of doing something. If it's called sign stealer spoiled. Yes,

(20:26):
but yeah, they have a documentary coming out on that,
And I don't know if this is the NCAA going
Wait a minute, they have evidence, they're going to do
a documentary, Maybe we should punish Michigan. But what I
read was there is the potential for a story to
talk about the potential for a one or two year
postseason ban for Michigan football. I don't know if it's

(20:49):
anything other than that. My source with a big ten
was kind of tight lipped on it and didn't want
to speculate on anything.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Yes, poem, Yeah, there's According to m Live, there's an
eleven paced page notice of allegations that was released. Michigan
doesn't say what the result is of the investigation, but
the allegations against him, can't you. If Michigan gets a
postseason ban for one or two years, they're going to
go full blast and fight this. This is you know,
scholarship reduction is no big deal, little things like that,

(21:21):
but a post season ban, they will not take that one.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well, there's other schools that have had postseason bans. I
don't know if everybody goes crazy and you know, calls
the law department says we're going after the NC double A.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
They did, though initially right when the first charges happened.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, and how did that? Gomer remember, Harball says, I
look forward to our day in court, and then what happened? Uh?
They backed away, So I don't know. They may. I
don't know. They may try to call the NC doublea's bullef.
Let's see if it happens here. But I'm guessing if
the NC double A is actually going to somehow get

(21:58):
out of the building, out of their shot and do something,
then they probably have enough. But I don't know if
Michigan's like, all right, we're gonna fight you, so maybe
you reduce it. It's one season postseason ban as opposed
to But once again there's a report whether it's this
I shouldn't say report. There's a story about the potential
for a story that has to do with Michigan being

(22:20):
punished for the cheating scandal. Jaren in Indiana, Hi, Jaring,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 9 (22:28):
All right, what's up? VP? I have an idea for
a pole question and then a set of the Day.
I'm not sure if I've heard this one yet, but
just wondering what Olympic sport is everyone most excited to
witness during this season. Myself, I'm a big track and

(22:50):
field fan, and I do enjoy some men's and women's
speech and indoor volleyball. So just wonder whatever bod he's
into this this Olympics and the Stab of the day.
Was wondering if you guys happen to know which quarterback
in the NFL has the most interceptions in the past

(23:13):
five seasons.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Okay, quarterback most interceptions, Paul won't start with you, justin
Herbert Marvin, Josh Allen.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
God, I was gonna guess Josh Allen, but I'll go
Russell Wilson.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Uh, I was gonna say Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Now I'm just going to go Josh Allen. Who is it, Jared.

Speaker 9 (23:36):
Josh Allen with sixty six interceptions?

Speaker 2 (23:39):
All right? What's who? How Stall of the Day? Stall
of the Day, Start out of the Day, Stannata Day.
This is the Stanle of the Day. The stat of
the Day brought to you by panadi America, the official
trading cards for the Dan Patrick Show. I find that

(24:00):
if there's a great storyline, whether it's track and field,
whether it's basketball, whether it's gymnastics, swimming, that's when I'm
attached to a sport, so it's not where I go.
I always watch swimming. You're watching swimming if there's a
really good storyline, at least that's how I watch track
and field. Is there going to be a really interesting

(24:21):
storyline here? Women's basketball probably not a great storyline. Maybe
the men's maybe they get challenged. As far as women's gymnastics,
we expect them to win the gold. But if they're
challenged and then it gets interesting, you know, that's the
tune in factor there. But there's so many times when

(24:42):
I've covered Olympics where I wouldn't think I'd be interested
in a sport or an athlete, and then all of
a sudden you are. Like women's rugby, we're kind of
getting fascinated with this one star player that we have
who basically is I don't know her out there and
the land of Little Putians just knocking people out of

(25:03):
the way. What's her name? Because she should get a
try out here with an NFL team. But the rugby
player that we have, some of the highlights are pretty cool. Yeah,
Paul Ilona Maher. Yeah, yes, damn she that's beast mode
is what that is. It truly is big stiff arm

(25:23):
and we don't even know what's going on necessarily with
the sport. I just know when she gets the ball,
then look out and she's just throwing like Derrick Henry
stuff like get out of the way, just stop it.
You're embarrassing your styt that's where you go. How do
we tackle her? You don't go high, you gotta go low,
and you know, just pray that you don't get you know,

(25:47):
clobberd landed on whatever it might be.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Yeah, Paul, USA women's rugby just started the semifinal match
versus New Zealand five minutes ago.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay, keep an eye on that. Keep an eye on that.
Michael in Indiana, Hi, Mike, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 7 (26:01):
Good morning, Dan, Thanks for taking my call. I'd like
to briefly talk about the quarterback contracts that were signed
over the weekend. Anytime I'd hear about the largest contract ever,
I roll my eyes just a little bit. Because the
economy has swelled over time, the inflation happens, the league
grows and it's really hard for me to know what
these big numbers actually mean. So I did some data

(26:24):
analysis with some screatsheets, and I compared the value of
the highest quarterback contracts against the value of the league,
which I would pose to you as a question. So,
since the year two thousand, relative to the value of
the league at that time, which quarterback has had the
most valuable contract?

Speaker 2 (26:47):
What are we talking about Patrick Mahomes contract like a
ten year contract. Were talking about Brady constantly redoing his contract,
So it's just the.

Speaker 7 (26:59):
Annual value what's he getting paid for this year versus
what is the league worth or the average value of
an NFL team worth in that year.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Well, that sounds like we'd have to do some research,
as you've done, Michael, So we don't do much homework
around here. So I'm going to rely on you to
then give us your answers.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
Okay, well, I'll give it to you. The answer is
Brettzmarv in two thousand, his contract at that time was
worth about two point three percent of the average value
of an NFL team. The contracts of the highest paid
quarterbacks today are worth closer to one percent of the
average value of an NFL team, meaning players are making
more money today, but the NFL owners are making much more.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Dak Prescott can get sixty million dollars, but based off
what the Cowboys are worth? Is that how you're doing
the math?

Speaker 7 (27:52):
Absolutely Cowboys and the NFL value of a team is
worth over five billion average value of a team. So
they're just not getting paid nearly as much as the
owners are. I mean, their contracts are great, just not
compared to the amount of growth that the league has
seen in the last quarter century.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Well, thank you, Michael for doing all that research there
and we learned something. Brett Farv made a lot of
money in the year two thousand. But you know, you're
still looking at these contracts and you say sixty million dollars.
I know, we get caught up in it. I always
look at what's the guarantee, because that's really what it
comes down to. It's the guarantee. But you also have

(28:30):
to look at what is going to be the cap
hit for these contracts because that really that's where the
impact is. That's where it's felt that Dak's you know,
cap hit, Mahomes's cap hit. That's did you see where
Stephen Jones was talking about and he's talking about these
contracts here and we should actually get the sound of this.

(28:51):
Marvin So, Jerry Jones's son was talking about sort of, hey,
you should want to be in Texas, no state income tax.
You know, lot of businesses are moving here, cost of
living is low. Like he's saying all these things as
if he would be saying this to Cede Lamb, Micah
Parisons and Dak Prescott, like basically give us a hometown

(29:12):
discount here while saying they deserve to be paid top
end salaries, while in the same sentence saying, hey, but
no state income text. I mean you're saving there, you know,
cost of living saving there, a lot of companies moving
to Dallas, and then saying but they, hey, they deserve
top end money. They're not going to pay everybody top

(29:35):
end money, but you can already. It's almost like he's
kind of trying to hint at this while not doing
a very good job of hinting at you know, about
a hometown discount here. First, This is the this is
the problem that every GM wants, don't you You actually
have draft picks who outperformed, they lived up to what

(29:56):
you thought. Instead of saying, uh, we got to go
find another defe player. We don't have a wide receiver.
I don't have our quarterback. They have at the three
most important positions. If you look at the quarterback, well,
wide receiver maybe not one of the top three, but
in the top five perhaps. So you got quarterback, wide receiver,

(30:16):
and edge rusher, and you have elite players at that
those positions. That's what you want. Instead of saying, oh
my god, another bust in the draft, it's almost like, oh,
it's a terrible problem to have. We have three really
good players who need to be paid. Well, I don't

(30:38):
pay Micah Parsons this year. Ceedee Lamb's gonna get paid.
Should have done this a long time ago. Dak I
don't know if he gets paid or not. I mean,
after a while. I think Dallas is enjoying. I think
Jerry Jones enjoys this. I truly do, because he's getting
more attention by not signing them. It's every day, it's

(31:02):
every show, and I think he loves that attention. All
it does is reinforce that we're America's team. He hadn't
won anything. No team franchise in the history of sports
has gotten more attention for doing less over a thirty
year period than the Cowboys. I mean, the Yankees at
least won a World Series not too long ago. Dallas

(31:25):
gets all this attention, and dan Orlofsky said this to
us last year. I think that he thinks, and I
think Mike Florio talked about this as well. Jerry just
wants the attention. He wants to be talked about. Because
if you pay these guys, now, what are we talking
about unless you're talking about, oh, well, they live up

(31:48):
to the contract. But every day it's Dak, it's Ceedee
Lamb and Michah Parsons. And then you start to think
about it. If I'm a businessman, am I going to
win a Super Bowl? Well, we want to give the
appearance that we want to the appearance, but you also
want to be talked about. You want to be relevant

(32:11):
and think about the Cowboys. I mean the Jets got
this with Aaron Rodgers. I mean prior to that, we
laughed at them. Now you have the Jets and you go, okay,
they have a chance. As an owner, that's what you want.
Is anybody talk. Nobody talks about the Clippers unless you go,
what a mess the Lakers? Well, we kind of look
at the Lakers the way we do the Cowboys. It's

(32:34):
good for business that you keep talking about us constantly.
And I think the Cowboys and Jerry Jones, it just
feels like that team is probably the most valuable franchise
in all of US sports. But it's because they're constantly
talked about. Not in a positive way, not normally, but

(32:55):
they're constantly talked about.

Speaker 10 (32:57):
Yes, maam, were the Cowboys this popular pre Jerry's owns,
like when in the seventies, Yes, okay.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, I mean with Tom Landry, Roger Stambach. You have
the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. The stadium left it open so
God could watch the Cowboys. I mean yeah, and they
won too. They were winning Super Bowls, Doomsday defense, you had,
you know, personalities there, Yes, they were. But this in

(33:23):
the last thirty years, nothing really to show for it
other than more attention, probably than all of the other
NFL teams combined. Dallas leads to the league in that
all right, let me take a break, Gunner play the
day up next.

There were literally thre throwing.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
On a topic we haven't hit yet. Okay, should the
NFL add in game interviews with the coaches?

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yes or no? The answer is no. I hate when
they go off you know, the field at halftime because
they're never going to tell you anything. And I do
like you know, the sideline reporters have jobs, and you
know that job is enhanced because you do get that
opportunity to ask a couple of questions. It's just we

(35:32):
don't get much from it. Hey, what what kind of
second half adjustments you're gonna make? Coach? Yes, if I'm
going to tell you right now, you know what we're
gonna do. We're gonna blitz them every time they go
back to pat This is gonna be in game. And
this goes back to when you have these spring football leagues.

(35:52):
The NFL was using that as a laboratory that they
could try this, and they were doing this. Now you
could listen in on the play being called, or you
could talk to the coach, and then they were going
to see, you know, what was the reaction and maybe
we could incorporate that into games. And all of this
is to bring you closer to the action. Everything that

(36:12):
we're seeing, everything we're doing is how do we make
the experience so great. You're in the huddle with the coach,
you know what the play is being called hey, we
can talk to the coach right after that play. Now
we've had that before, we've had that in bowl games.
But now we're going to do this, and I'm going

(36:34):
to guess some coaches will probably be pretty good, and
then you're going to have some coaches that are going
to be you know, like Greg Popovich like, all right,
I'll do it, what's the question. But I just there's
certain things that let me just watch the game. I
don't know if the coach is going to tell me
that much, and if it's a big play that's going on,

(36:56):
if I'm I want my coach coaching, I don't want him, hey,
uh oh, you want me to lift my hat up
a little bit? Okay, good, okay. Even when they do
the in game interviews with the manager, but it's not
really in game for the most part. They'll try to
do it in between innings and then they'll you know,
play it back the coaches at the end of a quarter.

(37:17):
In the NBA, they never say anything to you, Yeah, smartman.

Speaker 10 (37:21):
I've done audio before for a w NBA game and
the coach is so irritated, like wait, hold on, let
me put this, let me put this right here. Hold on,
hold on, hold on, coach two seconds and the coach
is like, I'm going to kill you right now. I
don't even want to do this. The league is making
me do this, and I got to give you some
bs answer about oh, how do we stop bream Stewart,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
We don't put what right where it's an IFB so
they can hear, so they'll they'll wire them up so
the coach can actually hear the announcer. Yeah, where you'll go,
you know, all right, put that in your ear?

Speaker 10 (37:55):
Okay, yeah, then they put oh, hold on, let's go
down your back.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah great. Yeah. I don't know who came up with
the idea and what they hope to get from this,
but it's already pretty pretty tough to watch the halftime
yeat poem.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
In previous years, the NFL rule was each coach had
to be available going into or coming out of halftime.
The networks would pick whether they'd go with one or both,
but that was what the rule was. This year, the
new policy, this is from the NFL, and it's finable.
You cannot blow it off. Both clubs have to make
their head coaches available for live interviews during the game,
each team has to provide a head coach, one in

(38:33):
the first half, one in the second half. That's for
all teams, all broadcasts, all games, and it's a final offense.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
If you blow it off, I'd like to know how
much it's going to cost me. Let's say, game winning
drive and I'm holding off. And this is when I
want to talk to Sean McVay. He's got to do
it right. I want to know right then, coach, all right,
third and seven, you got to score a touchdown. You're
at the you know, the eight yard line. You're you're

(39:04):
losing by sitting you know, all right, what are you thinking, coach?
I mean, I don't know what, Like, what's the the latitude?
You have to ask the coach what question in that moment? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
See, there is the possibility of catching some great moments
though with it, Like you see in baseball when they
have like I don't know, the left fielder is out
there to say during the All Star Game or something,
and it's like, hey, you know, Tom buck Wald, you're
having a great season whatever, and they talk and he's
like oh yeah, blah lah, and they'll call like a, oh,

(39:40):
there's a home run or something.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
Or they have those moments where it's like, oh, he's
going to hit a gapper here or whatever it is.
You know, there is the possibility to try to capture
those types of moments.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
I love that. I don't know if i'd like to
be a player who's miked up and you're in the
infield and all of a sudden, you're going, all right,
all right, man, there may be a screaming liner down. Ah. Yeah,
you know, I'll error you see it a.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Lot in uh, like when you when somebody's miked up
on a football field. Yeah, and a player will be
out there, like in receiver. It happened with Deebo Samuel.
He went out there and he knew right when he
got to the line of scrimmage. He was just like, oh,
I'm cutting this way, that's a touchdown. He says it
out loud. He was just like, all right here, ding
ding ding ding ding, and touchdown. And he did exactly
that touchdown. Those are kind of great moments if you

(40:27):
could get them, but they're they're miked up, but they
don't have to answer questions. Yeah, that's the only thing.
If I'm a coach, I got to be in the
moment here.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
This is really big And now I got Joe Buck
asking me, uh so, what did you call? I don't
want to be explaining it. What went wrong on that
one coach?

Speaker 9 (40:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
I don't know. Oh gak. It is interesting that they
implemented this, len Bill Belichick is not coaching in the NFL.
Could you imagine, you know, Belichick game on the line? Bill,
what are you thinking? I'm thinking about the twenty four
year old?

Speaker 9 (41:07):
What?

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yes, Paul, Yeah, snarky.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
I'm gonna let that breathe for a second. You should
be allowed one refusal a season, like one refusal on
the house if you're the coach.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Oh my god, Mike Kryshewsky will Joe is coming up
more on the polluted river for the triathlon at the Olympics.
We're covering all the big stories here. One hour in
the books on this Tuesday. Two more to go.
