seef show. How Tony finishes the season with forty nine
homers and forty nine steals it will be a a

whose organs would you want? Of the five of us?
Do you want to guess in what order?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Uh? I'm going to say, if.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Needed, whose organs would you want? And it would be Dan, you, Paul, Marvin, myself, Todd?
Whose organs would people? So I'm going to go least
to most. Okay, So Todd is the least. Todd is
co least? Oh dunk dunt dun company.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I would say Seaton is there with Todd.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Incorrect, My good man, think again?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
How about how about me and Todd?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
You and Todd are tied for the least people who.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
At least they don't want my organs?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Correct, they do not want your organs?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I am also tied for second place with someone with yes.
Marvin currently has the most desirable organs.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
In all right, Marvin, except for hand. That's not an organ.
But you know, if somebody loses a hand and all
of a sudden, as.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We figure out hand transplants, Marvin's going to be low
on that list.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I can't hold a beer anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, well not a big beer. Uh. You know Mickey's
big mouth. Wasn't that one? Like that was a little chunky?
Can there? I don't know why I remember Mickey's big mouth.
All right, So this has been but this is what
I love about this show. Today's show is what this
show is about. I think it's been a lot of fun.
(03:01):
We took a walk down memory lane. It was eleven
years ago today that we're only here to talk about
QUALCOMM with Matt Matt Harvey. That's crazy, I know, I know,
all right, PAULI just told me we were out in
the kitchen and he said a shocking sports retirement. Somebody
is retiring from one job and taking a job in
(03:23):
a different field and it's a shocking sports retirement.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I think this is very to say, very fair to
say this is shocking. The person's name is Adrian Wojnarowski
from ESPN, the longtime NBA newsbreaker, writer analyst, he is
retiring from ESPN and retiring from sports media. Like, he's
not going elsewhere. Guess where he's going.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Who wants to take a shot retiring.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
From sports media.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Is no longer a sports media member, especially in this role,
he cannot be.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
There's a hint, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
To say that he is going to work for a
gambling website. Oh, that's a good guess. That's a very
good guess.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Even further away, he is gonna be the new general
manager of Saint Bonaventure University Basketball.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Let's go.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Let's awesome, the Bonnies.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Yeah, he wrote a long note and he talked to
ESPN and said that he's having being a life shift.
He's gonna be the GM of the men's basketball program
at Saint Bonaventure, effective immediately.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah. Awesome.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
He's a nineteen ninety one graduate of the school, distinguished
alumnus from the Jandoli School of Communication.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
That's great, that's awesome for WOJ.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
And he broke the news of it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh he did. He did because if Schefty did or
if Sham's did, shamso that would be bad. That would
be bad. If Shams broke the WOJ news, that is surprising.
That's at the at the height of your powers. And uh,
Saint Bonaventure gave us Bob Lanier. Yes, Martin, who's the.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
Greatest insider in the history of sports.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I would say Mort was for me because it was
different back then. Now it feels like everybody is being
fed things. Felt like mort really worked the room. And
I've said this before that when Mort told me something
(05:27):
then it was true. I didn't need a second source.
I just said, all right, Mort's reporting this, and uh,
well he was rarely wrong, but I knew who he knew,
and therefore you're getting the information.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's another thing. I think Glazier is different. And it's
not that Adam Schefter doesn't work hard. We know he does.
Glazier took a different route. He went with players and coaches,
and it felt like mort might have gone with coaches, agents, GMS,
and Schefty probably leans more towards the front end office
and getting information. So I would say Chris Mortenson just
(06:06):
because I was at the Mothership when he was there.
I didn't work with Schefty, and I knew that if
mort said, hey, I got some breaking news, or there
were times when I would say to Mort, Hey, I
heard this, but they're asking me to get a second source.
And then Mort would come back and he goes, you're right,
and I would say, you take it. You know, that's
(06:27):
not when I do break news. And Mort was a
very very generous person, and he was he was a
great team player, So I would just lean towards that
because of my relationship with Mort. But Sheefty is you
know emeritus there. I'm waiting for these these insiders to
get gobbled up by a gambling site where all of
(06:48):
a sudden, you know you're paying for information. Now it's
going to change because of who's giving you the information,
knowing where that information is going. Schefty is working on countdown,
so it's different. And I think these gambling sites probably
looking to get that extra advantage. If I can find
out five minutes before you do, now I can change
(07:10):
the line, I can change the prop bet, whatever those
things are. That to me seems like the next frontier
where you're getting that inside information. And this is what
the NFL is really trying to be very cautious of.
They have to be if you don't know that Christian
mccaffery's going to play, and then somebody knows that he's
not going to play, and then that could change the
(07:30):
point spread. That could change a lot of things there.
But well, good good for WOJ And I'll once again,
I say this a lot because it took me until
I was fifty to understand quality of life. And but
you know, you kind of have to go through it yourself.
And maybe Woge is like, I don't. I don't want
(07:50):
to be tied to this phone all the time. I
don't want to have to, you know, hurry up and
break the news. I mean, it's all I know is
when I was breaking college for football news during the pandemic,
I didn't. I was just given the information because I
had two great sources with the Pac twelve and the
Big Ten, and so they were giving me the information.
(08:11):
And after a while, but then all of a sudden,
like people coming after you, guys who do this for
a living, And I'm like, this isn't what I do.
When I said the Big ten is going to shut
down their season, all of a sudden, I got guys
who do this for a living, like they're not shutting
down the season. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
I'm like, I do know what I'm talking about I
don't want to be that person, and woj now you're
(08:32):
not married to that phone anymore, and it's a breath
of fresh air for him and a new challenge. Awesome,
But I did that when I left ESPN. It's like, God,
I'm going to leave. Nobody leaves. And then my wife
kept saying, you know, eventually you got to figure out
quality of life, and I go, I got it. Of
course I do. And then I realized I didn't. So
(08:52):
maybe wod you just have that epiphany and you get
to that point. But somebody can't tell you, hey, why
don't you leave quality of life? It's you have to
understand it and then you make that decision.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Yes, Paul, you know Marvel's asking. The greatest insider in history.
Wojes did get to a point in the past fifteen
years where he was running the NBA draft, where the
draft ran through his Twitter account and you had to.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
You had to put it off.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
I didn't like that, No, but it does show the
the unbelievable access he had on a day to day basis.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, I still didn't like that when they tip picks
with the NBA. In fact, I would not even I
didn't want any part of that, or if Glazer would
do it, I didn't want a part of that. All right,
we get to phone calls coming up and mentioned that
two was going to the IR aren't I aren't shohe
is forty eight forty eight the shocking retirement with woj Oh.
(09:47):
Time for the Dour rankings. We have Power rankings, Dower rankings,
and uh I thought Sour rankings was better than Dower,
but we're going with Dower. So Todd, what is dour
for you?
Speaker 9 (10:02):
I have coaches covering their mouth with their color coded
laminated charts with the tiny prints. I only to continue
calling very boring, predictable and unsuccessful plays. It's okay if
we happen to read your lips, since it's not going
to matter anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It sounds like you're talking about Sean Payton.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Could be a little bit.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
There are some teams that kind of go a little
one run, incomplete.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Little counsive aggressive.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
So I was one, and I have a few others.
But I don't know if we're pressed on time, but
I chatted.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
If you have to think, give me a couple broadcasters
getting too comfortable saying you got to.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Put a hat on a hat.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
I'm hearing that more than ever, especially this past week,
which is like, I don't know what that's all about.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That means that you played the game and you get
to say you got to put a helmet on a helmet, and.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Troy said that too, you got we got to put
a hat on a hat.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
There.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I mean, I would say a helmet on a helmet,
not a hat on a hat. But eh, tomato tomorrow,
do you have one more?
Speaker 9 (10:54):
I also have I'm guilty of this too, but questioning
Kyler Murray's focus and work ethic, no matter what he does,
the narrative spilling over into what happens when the latest
Call of Duty video game comes out, and if all
of a sudden he's going to regress playing video games and.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Nothing that's in, that's in. That's low hanging fruit. But
he put himself in that position, all right, see Dower?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And just ironically, what is the reason that coaches cover
their mouths while they're reading plays.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Because they don't wan anyone to steal their plays.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Because the other teams are recording them. Oh but apparently
that's okay except we're one team.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh my god, Nope. Never getting over it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Don't care, don't care, don't care.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Sorry, I know. Okay, what else are you dowur about?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, I'm dour about that stupid rule.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I was actually gonna ask you guys if I did
Week two AFC dour rankings. All Right, the AFC North
as a whole is very dour like. Okay, they are
not great? Or is the af South equally if not
more dour. AFC North is currently the Steelers are leading
(12:07):
that and they haven't scored a touchdown yet this year.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But Detexans feel legitimate. I don't know if the Steelers
are legitimate.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Well, the Steelers, let's see, the Browns are one and one.
The Bengals and the Ravens are both oh and two.
That I don't know if this is a good thing
for the AFC North or a bad thing. But if
the team that's I think they haven't scored a touchdown yet,
the Steelers, at least on offense, they're leading the conference.
That's terrible. But then you have the AFC South where
there's only one winning team in that and there's three
(12:38):
oh to two teams.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
That is terrible. Yes, it is.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
If we were sticking with the AFC. We could also
throw the Broncos in there, and I would put the
Dolphins in as a dour ranked team right now.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh, I definitely do the Dolphins. Yeah, because nobody thought
the Broncos were gonna be good, even Todd who refers
to them as them, not we.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
But they tended to pick nine to seven and one
for them and a Roade wildcardo.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
They seem to be in a bad spot too, because
they still don't have a quarterback. They've traded all these people,
their coaches paid a fortune, and it doesn't appear ap
pears he's gonna need at least his third year to
get the ship righted.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right, Marvin, you got time for one hour and
then I'll get Pauli's one dour all right?
Speaker 9 (13:19):
My dower is the La Rams have any got spanked
by the Cardinals. They lose both of their all poor
wide receivers, and a lot of people have high expectations
for them going into the season.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So and they play the forty nine ers coming up
this weekend. By the way, the odds to finish the
NFC's number one seed, it's the Niners, then the Eagles,
followed by the Saints. Paulie your Dower moment, Dower team.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
It's a bit obvious, but the Carolina Panthers. I don't
like seeing any franchise be this bad this long, and
it doesn't look like there's a lot of hope. Hopefully
they stick with the quarterback they benched, because I had
the feeling, mark my words. If they go quarterback and
the up being draft, they're going to get elied.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
They're going to get e lied by somebody that somebody's
going to reject going to the Carolina Panthers. I would
if I were are you calling? Are you calling your
shot that the Panthers will get elied?
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yes? Wow, right, the Panthers of the space.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, there is such a eighteenth Yeah you can.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
You are in danger getting elied.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Only this is first jen nil quarterbacks coming out that
may not look at the be excited to join the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It would be interesting if arch Manning was able to
eli the Panthers. All right, well take a break. How
long have we known Kirk Cousins Michigan State? Yeah? How
many years? Is that a lot? Like thirteen? Twelve? Thirteen years?
(14:57):
Maybe we had him on you're still there. He's gonna
join us. Coming up next, we'll take a break back
after this.

Speaker 11 (15:23):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, you bloverer, list name in me.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.

Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's a relationship that goes back I think thirteen years.
He's Kirk Cousins, he Founcons quarterback, four time Pro bowler
and fresh off the win Monday night against the Eagles,
back on the program. How you doing.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
I'm doing well, Dan. I'm also a big fan of
a Mercedes Benz now that I move to Atlanta driving
Mercedes Benz. But I'm here in this interview for one
reason and one reason only, and that's to talk about
another brand that I have a great respect for and
want to honor, and that's Qualcom, oh I conductor software
and telecommunications company that really just inspired me to get
(16:53):
on this interview today.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Thank you. I hope you'll allow me to indulge in
you in some other questions about like the win against
the Eagles. But if you want to get around talking
about Qualcomm, we'll get to that pitch coming up.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Unlike Matt Harvey, I will allow you to talk football, okay,
but Qualcomm does mean a great deal to me as
it does Matt.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
All right, last drive by Philly. You're on the sidelines.
What do you think is going to happen? How's that
going to play out?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You know what, Dan?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
The final drive of the game. I've got some scars
in my football career where I thought we had won
the game and then it didn't end up the way
I had hoped. So I get a little skeptical when
I'm standing there watching, but you also believe, you know,
we can do this, and all the Eagles in it
was a field goal, so I was just standing and watching,
(17:44):
and our defense made a great play. Jesse Bates was instinctual,
got the interception and at that point just needed to
take a knee.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But when you see them passing, because on the Manning
cast you had Peyton Eli and Matt Ryan saying the
only way the Falcons can get the ball back is
if the Eagles put the ball in the air. You
see the pass and then what are you thinking when
Saquon drops that.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yeah. I think that's what's kind of so fun about
pro football is the strategy and the different options you
have there. I had heard an argument for you do
the the you know, the sneak that they've made famous
on third down and see if you can get it
to a fourth and one, and then, because that play
is seemingly so unstoppable, just do it again on fourth
down and believe that you're gonna get it again. So
(18:28):
there's an argument for just doing that sneak all the
way down the field. But the play was a good
play in the sense that he is opening the flat
and it's a safe throw and your odds are he's
gonna catch it and potentially convert and you can ice
the game. So you know, when you don't know the future,
you don't know how it's gonna play out, all you
can do is make your best call that you believe
(18:50):
in and let it go from there.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
What was it like you get in the huddle for
that last drive and you say, what.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
You know, I get very methodical. I'm kind of just
processed driven. So play comes in, Hey, we got to
run this play. If anything, it's all games. Hey, guys,
let's just have funk competing and let's wait.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Wait, wait, that's what you say. You're just like, hey,
let's let's compete, have some fun.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
I think there's a little bit of that. Just let's
not overcomplicate this. We don't need to talk about, you know,
the magnitude at the moment. We don't need to talk
about how John Candy's in the stands. You know, they
talk about it. Joe Montana said that, like, that's all
well and good, but let's just go play and uh,
find the open guy, get rid of the ball, and
try to get that first first down. And I think
I play my best, just kind of simplifying the process
(19:33):
and just treat it like you're you're playing the job,
the position you've always played.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I'm going to give your offensive line credit. But also
in the process question, the Eagles didn't blitch you. How
surprised were you? And I know their defensive coordinator normally
doesn't do that, But you don't have great mobility coming
off surgery. How surprised were you that they didn't send
an extra guy or two?
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Well, so the touchdown of Darnell Moone was cover zero,
So that was in all outpuits so if anything, you know,
when they did bring the blitz, you know, we had
our biggest play of the night in terms of an
explosive play, So he may have said, hey, I learned
my lesson sending the pressure there, Let's not do that.
And secondly, until the final drive, when they were playing
more of a pre event coverage to just keep us
out of the end zone, they really did have a
(20:18):
roof on the defense and we weren't getting many explosives
throughout the game. So I would say their plan was
reasonably effective outside of that cover zero and then outside
of the final drive. So I wouldn't really second guess
that plan. And Vic Fangio is the decorder. I have
a lot of respect for it. Played against the lot
he's always kind of been tough. It's been hard to
find explosives, and in the first game against the Packers
(20:39):
they didn't blitz a ton either, so it was pretty
pretty consistent with what they've been doing.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Let's go around the room and gainst the percentage that
Kirk's achilles is or what he's going to say. So Todd,
what do you think Kirk is going to say as
far as how far along he is with the recovery.
I'm going to say eighty three percentage three.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Ninety ninety five.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, I need you to pick.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I'm gonna go Towarch ninety.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Ninety, Marvin Zeeden ninety five.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Only Kirk's a very positive guy. I let's say one
hundred and five percent better.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Now he's faster, faster, Okay, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
say he's eighty eight percent right now.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
I'm somewhere between like ninety five and one oh five,
So you're there. I create a good parameter. Okay, I'm
feeling good. I think the challenge for me Dan, honestly
would be the red jersey of practice and the rust
that I think needed to be worked off. I think
that being out since week eight last year or after
week eight, and when you come back, you're not really back.
You're in a red jersey, and it just doesn't have
(21:40):
the same feel of live football. I've always said that
going into week one that it's a little hard, but
just felt that again this year. And and you know,
I'm optimistic that as we go here that that that
russ gets off pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
But how does that affect you as far as planting
or running or lateral movement.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
Yeah, I think. I think in the first game against
the Steelers, the final play really basically the interception that
I threw I'm getting you know, I'm there's push, but
I'm used to in practice basically the ce's part. You know,
it's like Moses and the Red Sea, where I just
stand there and everybody just gets out of the way
and I make the throw. And then you play against
the Steelers and you realize they're not getting out of
the way. They're just going to continue to make it
(22:20):
a telephone booth for you, and so kind of realizing
that I've been playing in a much much bigger telephone
booth in practice, you get this false sense of security
of oh, I got space here, I got room, when
in reality, no, you don't. And so it takes live
bullets to realize, you know, just how fast the game
is moving and how just how small that telephone booth
can get.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He's mister Primetime now Kirk d Cousins joining us on
the program for the last five Monday night.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
You couldn't then, I guess the tables have turned along
these lines.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What happened?
Speaker 7 (22:50):
I couldn't figure it out in primetime and I always
strug my shoulders at both sides because some of these
Primetime wins I've had recently, I really haven't played that
that great, you know. I remember we had won a
couple of money night game at the Bears, and I
walked off the field. We won, but I wasn't outstanding.
And there's been games in the past we lost and
I thought that's the best I've ever played. So I
kind of shrugged my shoulders at it. But I'll much
rather take mister primetime than what it used to be.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
But what is that like when you throw that interception
that that you know, you feel like, okay, we've lost
this game where I've cost us. That feeling of walking off,
you know, to the sidelines, going into the locker room,
you know.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
It definitely ruined my my afternoon, in my evening, Dan,
it's pretty miserable.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
But when you go home to the kid's wife.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Nah, no, it's there's no there's no consolation. I was
sitting there watching the Lions and Rams and I'm pretty
miserable on Sunday night. That's honestly Again, that's the challenge
I've had my whole career is how do you how
do you still sort of sleep at night. How do
you you know, cause you're gonna fail, This league's gonna
test you. Is being able to kind of let it
(23:56):
roll off your back and just move forward. For me,
it's always been you just wear it so hard. And
that was something that both Sean mcvayh and I used
to kind of, you know, have a kindred spirit about.
Is it just it just eats at you, and it's
what it's what makes you great. It's one of your
greatest strengths, but then it can also be one of
your biggest challenges you face. And and just that that
how much it means to you something I've always tried
(24:18):
to kind of balance.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
But the pressure that I see on these rookie quarterbacks.
You played I think one game your rookie season, but
you know, high draft pick, come on in and let's
see some magic here. Uh Bryce Young from last year
now he gets binged. I can you can you put
us in that position of what that pressure is like
for these kids?
Speaker 7 (24:39):
Yeah, it's it's it's difficult. First of all, football's a
team game. And so when you have a great system,
great coaches around you, getting people wide open, the protection
plans outstanding you're gonna look a little better, and vice versa.
When you you know, if you got to you know
people around you who aren't really helping move the needle,
that can make it a lot harder too. So h
(25:00):
the quarterback gets evaluated so much as if he's on
an island, when in reality it's a team deal. And
then certainly as a rookie, there's gonna be you know,
a learning curve. There's gonna be things that you've got
to figure out. And then then year two comes where
defenses say, okay, we've got a year of film on you.
Now we're gonna study you and start to figure out
(25:20):
better how to defend you. So even once you have
a good rookie year, that doesn't suddenly mean you've got
it all figured out. So it's a marathon, not a sprint.
I learned that firsthand being a fourth round pick thinking
they go into Washington was a dead end, and seeing
how my career played out, you got to play for
the long game and just believe that if you have
good habits and a good process, that the long game
will work itself out.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You got the Chiefs coming to.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
Town, yep, Sunday night, Howell.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
How often do you watch the other quarterback too, not
as a fan, but just watching during the game of
what Mahomes to do, or Brady would do, or Josh
whoever it might be.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Well, it's funny. I remember driving home from a game
last year. We play at noon in Minnesota Central Time,
so we'd be driving home at like four o'clock, and
my wife, who loves following it all, said in the
cars she said, all the sunny night football this week
is Mahomes versus Stafford. That's gonna be great. It's gonna
be a lot of fun, or whatever the two quarterbacks were.
And I remember kind of kind of laughing. I'm like, well,
(26:19):
it's the Chiefs versus the Rams, it's not Maholmes verse Stafford.
But but her point is is that the quarterbacks are
what makes it fun to watch. And I would tend
to agree with her that when you have two really
high leveled, experienced quarterbacks with a lot of skins on
the wall, that's what kind of draws my interest the
most to watch and to study and to see. And
so I think that's where football gets really fun, is
(26:41):
when you get those quarterbacks so you feel really know
what they're doing. It's really the best product.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Okay, full disclosure. I wasn't big on the uniforms, the
away uniforms, the.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
All white with the black helmet.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, I needed I need a little more umphin there,
a little bit more contrast in there. And I know,
if you can work this in your contract, well.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
I negotiated a lot of contracts over the years, so
I'm open to any You're.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Very good at it. You're very good at it. I
think we gotta we gotta do a little better on
the road. It just felt a little your uniforms felt incomplete.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
See, well, I don't want I don't want incomplete uniforms.
But when I played at Michigan State, our style was
all white head to toe with with the green helmet.
And so when I came in the locker room the
other night and saw it's gonna be all white with
the black helmet, it kind of took me back to
my Michigan State days and I thought, I can I
can work with this. We had success with this in college,
so I was open to it. You know, the linemen
(27:38):
tend to like all black because black is slimming. They
do not like all white. They feel like they're walking
out there looking like the michelin Man. So linemen would
be more on your corner. The all white does not
work for them.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
When Drake London goes to the line of scrimmage, does
he have any options thereof? I mean, the move is
incredible to score the game winner, but right like, how
does that work? What's the play call? And it's going
to him? But does he have any can he change anything?
Speaker 7 (28:11):
You know? So it's it's designed for him to kind
of have that basketball crossover. Drake has a basketball background
and so he has a real natural feel for how
to break down and kind of sell one way and
go the other like he's a point guard. And that's
really what the route called for. And Darius Slay is
such an instinctive corner and plays with great vision, and
so we knew that this route could kind of kind
of play to Darius's game where if Drake gives that
(28:34):
move inside, he'll he'll react and he'll go for that
big play and then we can break back out to
the front pylon. Really, the freedom that Drake has is
which angle to said do what does he flatten into
the front pilon? Does he kind of set it higher?
So based on the coverage contour, he'll change that angle.
But once I saw him kind of get Darius to
bite inside, I just knew I had to put it
out to the sideline and he'll go get it. And
(28:56):
very rarely do you get that much separation down in
the low resident. So Drake made my j a lot easier.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
How where will you be where Chris Jones is?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Yeah, you have to be he'll wreck the game if
you're not.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
But do you go to the line of scrimmage and
how often do you look for a defensive player single
out a defensive player?
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Yeah? No, I think there's a lot of awareness. Certainly
where's ninety five and uh? And for our old line,
our center, you know that whole thing. You know, whether
it's Aaron Donald, whether it's Max Crosby, whether it's Nick Bosa.
You know, there's there's just over a half dozen, maybe
a dozen guys in the league like that who will
wreck the game if you don't have four hands on them,
as many players as possible. You know, Chris is a
(29:40):
personality on the field. He'll make himself known. You know,
you don't really have to go look at for him
because he's gonna he'll break the huddle, he's making he's
having a conversation. You're in a TV time out, he's
having a conversation. So they were the lineman last year
in Minnesota and we played and we're joking. They said,
Chris is, you know, big personality. He's pretty friendly, he's
positive out there, but I don't really want to hear
any of it. He's ruining my day. So uh yeah,
(30:02):
we'll hopefully be able to uh to corral him on Sunday.
But he's he's the real deal.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Do those guys Do you get yelled at by defensive players?
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Yeah? Usually, you know it's everything from the week one
TJ Watt after a play where you know, he does
a drive by and I kind of hear him and
feel him as I throw the ball. He'll he'll walk
back to the next play and just say, hey, what's up,
Kirk and just kind of like he's saying hello. And
there's other guys who you know, they may yell you
like that at me. Uh, you know, you'll get guys
who have more to say. You know, Brandon Graham at
(30:32):
the coin toss I I you know, go back to
playing him at the University of Michigan. We both grew
up in Michigan, so I've always you know, followed him
and dap him up at the coin toss and he's
gonna let me know, Hey, you know you're gonna see
me at the coin toss, but you're gonna see me
a lot this game. So he tries to, you know,
kind of get in your head from the from the
coin toss. So there's always talk going.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
But you're not a trash talker.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
So my my perspective is the same perspective of most quarterbacks,
which is why in the world would I gas them up?
Like like football is hard, and why in the world
would I add fuel to that fire? And sometimes I
see teammates who are adding fuel to their fire, and
I look like, go, guys, you're not the one standing
back in the pocket that they're foaming at the mouth
to come get Please stop, please stop adding fuel to
(31:14):
their fire.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Do you try to be overly nice?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
There's a little bit of that. I don't think there's
anything wrong with hey, nice, play, good rush, you know,
how are the wife and kids? Good? Cheap shot?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You don't say anything like that. You don't say a
nice cheap shot.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
No, No, you just kind of try to keep it civil.
Don't give him any any additional reason that they already
have to come take your head off.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
He's the new mister Primetime and Primetime Sunday Night. Kirk
de Cousins, Hey, great to talk to you again. Congratulations
on the win.
Speaker 7 (31:47):

Speaker 12 (33:28):
Yea, my uncle from another mother. My brother's behind the
boards in honor of you and mister dark Knight's anniversary,
said Hey, I have one off the top rope for you,
mister Dann Patrick. Of course, we know the great camaraderie
you have with guys just like Kirkie Cousins see where
Charles Barkley, all the great interviews you do. But if
you could take one off your resume before you retire,
(33:48):
Tanya Harding, Tyler Murray, mister collabor, David Stern or Matt.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Harvey, if I could take one off of my interview.
Speaker 12 (33:59):
List, off your interview list, Yes, sir, I.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Wouldn't take any of them off. They all happened. They
were all interesting for differing reasons. But no, I mean,
is it cringey for me? Yes, but it's content and
it could be entertaining for you, Like I have to
put my ego to the side, and like, how dare them?
Don't they know who? Nobody cares? But no, I wouldn't.
(34:27):
They're uncomfortable for me to watch the Danins. They had
no problem watching Matt Harvey's interview again and again and again.
Seatings like it gets better every time you see it.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
It does every time. It's one of those things that
every time I watch it or listen to it, I
see or hear something new.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
That is just hilarious. I didn't realize how long the
qualcom pitch was by him. It's over two minutes, like
crazy Todd was. I was right with Chris w stand his.
Speaker 8 (35:01):
Dad, Abraham Abe Lincoln Collinsworth.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Okay, Abraham Lincoln collins Worth Junior. The third Yes, you're
gonna love this.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Does anybody know what CJ stands for? With c J Stroud,
I've never looked aside. I just found it.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
I didn't think it stood for anything.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
They are his initials. His name is Coleridge Bernard Stroud
the fourth, and he should go by cole Ridge.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Bernard's Stroud the fourth.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
So what's the J four?
Speaker 5 (35:29):
I don't know. He goes by CJ.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Is maybe he Coleridge or.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
But he's not junior because he's the fourth. So he's
Coleridge Bernard Junior the fourth. He should be CB, right,
he is CBS four the fourth.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Yeah, Coleridge Bernard Stroud the fourth.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yes, Marvin, wait, so we can change his name a
CB four C before. Wasn't that the Chris Rock movie?
Speaker 5 (35:56):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Get this where sinking up here? No?
Speaker 5 (36:01):
I never heard that we're in sync?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Whoa Todd bye bye bye?
Speaker 8 (36:07):

Speaker 8 (36:20):
You like that group?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah? Thank you, Todd h Town. When we were in
Houston and you said, oh, you know you're telling us
about hugh Town.
Speaker 8 (36:30):
It's so confidently I know.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
And he said, I don't think it's called.
Speaker 8 (36:33):
It's great to be in Hughtown. It was like, oh,
is hugh feet from here?
Speaker 7 (36:38):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Joke boy called you town. Hey, joke boy back your
final results of the pole question.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
So glad that you asked, Dan. We have many, many,
many pole questions. Okay, if Joho Tany finishes with forty
nine and forty nine, it will be uh fifty seven percent.
Have it as a bit disappointing. We got a bunch
of other pole questions too that I'm not nearly as
interested in. Other than if you needed whose organs would
(37:06):
you want?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Marvin has fifty percent of the vote. No congratulation, fifty
paul you've jumped out to second. I am in third.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Dan, you are.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Barely above Todd by less than one percentage point for
last place, and down the stretch they just barely ahead
of Todd.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
And I don't know why anybody would want anything from
Paula except for maybe as good if you got the
wrong one.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
I got this fresh eye.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Well that's the one he's blind in. Yeah, you don't.
You don't want anything from my body? I mean it
is a wonderland, but you don't want it?
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Voice?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Well, I don't. I don't know if I can give that.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
To your larynx.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I don't know if it would transfer that's interesting.
Speaker 8 (37:50):
Can you transplant vocal cords to someone?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Why don't we check? We got like four minutes before
we have say goodbye, before we have to say goodbye.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Yeah yeah, deep Boy's Danny's bag.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Oh yeah, you know what. I had a little keeper's
heart last night.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
I found myself more than I should have yesterday doing this.
You did this at the very end of the show yesterday.
But we got these like drink big things.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
These are big canisters that have our school logos except
for poly got A Chicago Bears one. These are big
canisters that you can drink water out of.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yeah, but then you.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Started talking into yours now betting. Yeah, well see I
got water in mine. Oh you can't do it. I
don't know, Luke. I am the offa the it's a
little more shallow than it was yesterday, but so am
I now batting number twenty five, the left fielder and
(38:51):
raining MVP say hello to very Bonds BM.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
It's so funny to me that the very first thing
you did as soon as you got this is not like, oh,
I wonder what kind of drink I put him?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
The first thing you do, now, Ben what it took
me back to when I was in spring training and
I got to introduce Barry Bonds, and it sounded just
like that now batting and just to hear it over
the loud speaker. And then Bonds is there at the
plate and he looks up to see who's saying this,
and then then he homers. And then the next time
(39:25):
he came up now batting number twenty five, a man
who homered for me and who's lasted bad say hello
to and then people are looking up and Bonds is
looking up, and I'm like, oh, maybe I should have
Maybe I shouldn't take liberties there with Barry. But and
then of course he takes himself out of the game.
Paully goes down see if we can get him on
(39:46):
our show, and then Bond says no is a fast
no as well, And I'm like, I just called your
home run two of them, and then we couldn't get
him on the show. Eh, that's his loss. Actually it
was my loss, Like why.
Speaker 8 (40:01):
Would you say no? That still bothers me. Why would
someone say just a couple of minutes to say hi?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
He just couldn't be nice, don't understand it couldn't be nice,
couldn't just buddon in him.
Speaker 11 (40:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Let's see our friends at Panini stat of the Day,

I'm gonna skip sports history, but I want to tell
you this. The only the third larynx transplant surgery in
US history took place just a couple months ago at
the Mayo Clinic. It's one of the more rare transplant
surgeries worldwide.

money when I'm dead. On this date, two thousand and four,

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Let me update you here, Dan, because we've got a
bunch of them going all right. We have a Let's
seef show. How Tony finishes the season with forty nine
homers and forty nine steals it will be a a
and historical accomplishment or a bit disappointing right now, fifty
seven percent have it a bit disappointing. Should to a
play again this season? Eighty two percent say no, will
(01:16):
to a play again this season? Fifty six percent say yes?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
What day is today? Eighty seven percent agree that it
is Wednesday? And then we also have up there, if needed,
whose organs would you want? Of the five of us?
Do you want to guess in what order?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Uh? I'm going to say, if.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Needed, whose organs would you want? And it would be Dan, you, Paul, Marvin, myself, Todd?
Whose organs would people? So I'm going to go least
to most. Okay, So Todd is the least. Todd is
co least? Oh dunk dunt dun company.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I would say Seaton is there with Todd.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Incorrect, My good man, think again?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
How about how about me and Todd?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
You and Todd are tied for the least people who.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
At least they don't want my organs?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Correct, they do not want your organs?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I am also tied for second place with someone with yes.
Marvin currently has the most desirable organs.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
In all right, Marvin, except for hand. That's not an organ.
But you know, if somebody loses a hand and all
of a sudden, as.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We figure out hand transplants, Marvin's going to be low
on that list.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I can't hold a beer anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, well not a big beer. Uh. You know Mickey's
big mouth. Wasn't that one? Like that was a little chunky?
Can there? I don't know why I remember Mickey's big mouth.
All right, So this has been but this is what
I love about this show. Today's show is what this
show is about. I think it's been a lot of fun.
(03:01):
We took a walk down memory lane. It was eleven
years ago today that we're only here to talk about
QUALCOMM with Matt Matt Harvey. That's crazy, I know, I know,
all right, PAULI just told me we were out in
the kitchen and he said a shocking sports retirement. Somebody
is retiring from one job and taking a job in
(03:23):
a different field and it's a shocking sports retirement.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I think this is very to say, very fair to
say this is shocking. The person's name is Adrian Wojnarowski
from ESPN, the longtime NBA newsbreaker, writer analyst, he is
retiring from ESPN and retiring from sports media. Like, he's
not going elsewhere. Guess where he's going.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Who wants to take a shot retiring.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
From sports media.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Is no longer a sports media member, especially in this role,
he cannot be.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
There's a hint, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
To say that he is going to work for a
gambling website. Oh, that's a good guess. That's a very
good guess.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Even further away, he is gonna be the new general
manager of Saint Bonaventure University Basketball.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Let's go.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Let's awesome, the Bonnies.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Yeah, he wrote a long note and he talked to
ESPN and said that he's having being a life shift.
He's gonna be the GM of the men's basketball program
at Saint Bonaventure, effective immediately.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah. Awesome.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
He's a nineteen ninety one graduate of the school, distinguished
alumnus from the Jandoli School of Communication.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
That's great, that's awesome for WOJ.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
And he broke the news of it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh he did. He did because if Schefty did or
if Sham's did, shamso that would be bad. That would
be bad. If Shams broke the WOJ news, that is surprising.
That's at the at the height of your powers. And uh,
Saint Bonaventure gave us Bob Lanier. Yes, Martin, who's the.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
Greatest insider in the history of sports.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I would say Mort was for me because it was
different back then. Now it feels like everybody is being
fed things. Felt like mort really worked the room. And
I've said this before that when Mort told me something
(05:27):
then it was true. I didn't need a second source.
I just said, all right, Mort's reporting this, and uh,
well he was rarely wrong, but I knew who he knew,
and therefore you're getting the information.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's another thing. I think Glazier is different. And it's
not that Adam Schefter doesn't work hard. We know he does.
Glazier took a different route. He went with players and coaches,
and it felt like mort might have gone with coaches, agents, GMS,
and Schefty probably leans more towards the front end office
and getting information. So I would say Chris Mortenson just
(06:06):
because I was at the Mothership when he was there.
I didn't work with Schefty, and I knew that if
mort said, hey, I got some breaking news, or there
were times when I would say to Mort, Hey, I
heard this, but they're asking me to get a second source.
And then Mort would come back and he goes, you're right,
and I would say, you take it. You know, that's
(06:27):
not when I do break news. And Mort was a
very very generous person, and he was he was a
great team player, So I would just lean towards that
because of my relationship with Mort. But Sheefty is you
know emeritus there. I'm waiting for these these insiders to
get gobbled up by a gambling site where all of
(06:48):
a sudden, you know you're paying for information. Now it's
going to change because of who's giving you the information,
knowing where that information is going. Schefty is working on countdown,
so it's different. And I think these gambling sites probably
looking to get that extra advantage. If I can find
out five minutes before you do, now I can change
(07:10):
the line, I can change the prop bet, whatever those
things are. That to me seems like the next frontier
where you're getting that inside information. And this is what
the NFL is really trying to be very cautious of.
They have to be if you don't know that Christian
mccaffery's going to play, and then somebody knows that he's
not going to play, and then that could change the
(07:30):
point spread. That could change a lot of things there.
But well, good good for WOJ And I'll once again,
I say this a lot because it took me until
I was fifty to understand quality of life. And but
you know, you kind of have to go through it yourself.
And maybe Woge is like, I don't. I don't want
(07:50):
to be tied to this phone all the time. I
don't want to have to, you know, hurry up and
break the news. I mean, it's all I know is
when I was breaking college for football news during the pandemic,
I didn't. I was just given the information because I
had two great sources with the Pac twelve and the
Big Ten, and so they were giving me the information.
(08:11):
And after a while, but then all of a sudden,
like people coming after you, guys who do this for
a living, And I'm like, this isn't what I do.
When I said the Big ten is going to shut
down their season, all of a sudden, I got guys
who do this for a living, like they're not shutting
down the season. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
I'm like, I do know what I'm talking about I
don't want to be that person, and woj now you're
(08:32):
not married to that phone anymore, and it's a breath
of fresh air for him and a new challenge. Awesome,
But I did that when I left ESPN. It's like, God,
I'm going to leave. Nobody leaves. And then my wife
kept saying, you know, eventually you got to figure out
quality of life, and I go, I got it. Of
course I do. And then I realized I didn't. So
(08:52):
maybe wod you just have that epiphany and you get
to that point. But somebody can't tell you, hey, why
don't you leave quality of life? It's you have to
understand it and then you make that decision.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Yes, Paul, you know Marvel's asking. The greatest insider in history.
Wojes did get to a point in the past fifteen
years where he was running the NBA draft, where the
draft ran through his Twitter account and you had to.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
You had to put it off.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
I didn't like that, No, but it does show the
the unbelievable access he had on a day to day basis.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, I still didn't like that when they tip picks
with the NBA. In fact, I would not even I
didn't want any part of that, or if Glazer would
do it, I didn't want a part of that. All right,
we get to phone calls coming up and mentioned that
two was going to the IR aren't I aren't shohe
is forty eight forty eight the shocking retirement with woj Oh.
(09:47):
Time for the Dour rankings. We have Power rankings, Dower rankings,
and uh I thought Sour rankings was better than Dower,
but we're going with Dower. So Todd, what is dour
for you?
Speaker 9 (10:02):
I have coaches covering their mouth with their color coded
laminated charts with the tiny prints. I only to continue
calling very boring, predictable and unsuccessful plays. It's okay if
we happen to read your lips, since it's not going
to matter anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It sounds like you're talking about Sean Payton.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Could be a little bit.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
There are some teams that kind of go a little
one run, incomplete.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Little counsive aggressive.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
So I was one, and I have a few others.
But I don't know if we're pressed on time, but
I chatted.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
If you have to think, give me a couple broadcasters
getting too comfortable saying you got to.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Put a hat on a hat.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
I'm hearing that more than ever, especially this past week,
which is like, I don't know what that's all about.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That means that you played the game and you get
to say you got to put a helmet on a helmet, and.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Troy said that too, you got we got to put
a hat on a hat.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
There.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I mean, I would say a helmet on a helmet,
not a hat on a hat. But eh, tomato tomorrow,
do you have one more?
Speaker 9 (10:54):
I also have I'm guilty of this too, but questioning
Kyler Murray's focus and work ethic, no matter what he does,
the narrative spilling over into what happens when the latest
Call of Duty video game comes out, and if all
of a sudden he's going to regress playing video games and.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Nothing that's in, that's in. That's low hanging fruit. But
he put himself in that position, all right, see Dower?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And just ironically, what is the reason that coaches cover
their mouths while they're reading plays.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Because they don't wan anyone to steal their plays.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Because the other teams are recording them. Oh but apparently
that's okay except we're one team.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh my god, Nope. Never getting over it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Don't care, don't care, don't care.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Sorry, I know. Okay, what else are you dowur about?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, I'm dour about that stupid rule.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I was actually gonna ask you guys if I did
Week two AFC dour rankings. All Right, the AFC North
as a whole is very dour like. Okay, they are
not great? Or is the af South equally if not
more dour. AFC North is currently the Steelers are leading
(12:07):
that and they haven't scored a touchdown yet this year.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But Detexans feel legitimate. I don't know if the Steelers
are legitimate.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Well, the Steelers, let's see, the Browns are one and one.
The Bengals and the Ravens are both oh and two.
That I don't know if this is a good thing
for the AFC North or a bad thing. But if
the team that's I think they haven't scored a touchdown yet,
the Steelers, at least on offense, they're leading the conference.
That's terrible. But then you have the AFC South where
there's only one winning team in that and there's three
(12:38):
oh to two teams.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
That is terrible. Yes, it is.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
If we were sticking with the AFC. We could also
throw the Broncos in there, and I would put the
Dolphins in as a dour ranked team right now.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh, I definitely do the Dolphins. Yeah, because nobody thought
the Broncos were gonna be good, even Todd who refers
to them as them, not we.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
But they tended to pick nine to seven and one
for them and a Roade wildcardo.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
They seem to be in a bad spot too, because
they still don't have a quarterback. They've traded all these people,
their coaches paid a fortune, and it doesn't appear ap
pears he's gonna need at least his third year to
get the ship righted.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right, Marvin, you got time for one hour and
then I'll get Pauli's one dour all right?
Speaker 9 (13:19):
My dower is the La Rams have any got spanked
by the Cardinals. They lose both of their all poor
wide receivers, and a lot of people have high expectations
for them going into the season.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So and they play the forty nine ers coming up
this weekend. By the way, the odds to finish the
NFC's number one seed, it's the Niners, then the Eagles,
followed by the Saints. Paulie your Dower moment, Dower team.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
It's a bit obvious, but the Carolina Panthers. I don't
like seeing any franchise be this bad this long, and
it doesn't look like there's a lot of hope. Hopefully
they stick with the quarterback they benched, because I had
the feeling, mark my words. If they go quarterback and
the up being draft, they're going to get elied.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
They're going to get e lied by somebody that somebody's
going to reject going to the Carolina Panthers. I would
if I were are you calling? Are you calling your
shot that the Panthers will get elied?
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yes? Wow, right, the Panthers of the space.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, there is such a eighteenth Yeah you can.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
You are in danger getting elied.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Only this is first jen nil quarterbacks coming out that
may not look at the be excited to join the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It would be interesting if arch Manning was able to
eli the Panthers. All right, well take a break. How
long have we known Kirk Cousins Michigan State? Yeah? How
many years? Is that a lot? Like thirteen? Twelve? Thirteen years?
(14:57):
Maybe we had him on you're still there. He's gonna
join us. Coming up next, we'll take a break back
after this.

To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, you bloverer, list name in me.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 11 (15:42):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 4 (15:56):

Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's a relationship that goes back I think thirteen years.
He's Kirk Cousins, he Founcons quarterback, four time Pro bowler
and fresh off the win Monday night against the Eagles,
back on the program. How you doing.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
I'm doing well, Dan. I'm also a big fan of
a Mercedes Benz now that I move to Atlanta driving
Mercedes Benz. But I'm here in this interview for one
reason and one reason only, and that's to talk about
another brand that I have a great respect for and
want to honor, and that's Qualcom, oh I conductor software
and telecommunications company that really just inspired me to get
(16:53):
on this interview today.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Thank you. I hope you'll allow me to indulge in
you in some other questions about like the win against
the Eagles. But if you want to get around talking
about Qualcomm, we'll get to that pitch coming up.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Unlike Matt Harvey, I will allow you to talk football, okay,
but Qualcomm does mean a great deal to me as
it does Matt.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
All right, last drive by Philly. You're on the sidelines.
What do you think is going to happen? How's that
going to play out?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You know what, Dan?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
The final drive of the game. I've got some scars
in my football career where I thought we had won
the game and then it didn't end up the way
I had hoped. So I get a little skeptical when
I'm standing there watching, but you also believe, you know,
we can do this, and all the Eagles in it
was a field goal, so I was just standing and watching,
(17:44):
and our defense made a great play. Jesse Bates was instinctual,
got the interception and at that point just needed to
take a knee.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But when you see them passing, because on the Manning
cast you had Peyton Eli and Matt Ryan saying the
only way the Falcons can get the ball back is
if the Eagles put the ball in the air. You
see the pass and then what are you thinking when
Saquon drops that.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yeah. I think that's what's kind of so fun about
pro football is the strategy and the different options you
have there. I had heard an argument for you do
the the you know, the sneak that they've made famous
on third down and see if you can get it
to a fourth and one, and then, because that play
is seemingly so unstoppable, just do it again on fourth
down and believe that you're gonna get it again. So
(18:28):
there's an argument for just doing that sneak all the
way down the field. But the play was a good
play in the sense that he is opening the flat
and it's a safe throw and your odds are he's
gonna catch it and potentially convert and you can ice
the game. So you know, when you don't know the future,
you don't know how it's gonna play out, all you
can do is make your best call that you believe
(18:50):
in and let it go from there.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
What was it like you get in the huddle for
that last drive and you say, what.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
You know, I get very methodical. I'm kind of just
processed driven. So play comes in, Hey, we got to
run this play. If anything, it's all games. Hey, guys,
let's just have funk competing and let's wait.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Wait, wait, that's what you say. You're just like, hey,
let's let's compete, have some fun.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
I think there's a little bit of that. Just let's
not overcomplicate this. We don't need to talk about, you know,
the magnitude at the moment. We don't need to talk
about how John Candy's in the stands. You know, they
talk about it. Joe Montana said that, like, that's all
well and good, but let's just go play and uh,
find the open guy, get rid of the ball, and
try to get that first first down. And I think
I play my best, just kind of simplifying the process
(19:33):
and just treat it like you're you're playing the job,
the position you've always played.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I'm going to give your offensive line credit. But also
in the process question, the Eagles didn't blitch you. How
surprised were you? And I know their defensive coordinator normally
doesn't do that, But you don't have great mobility coming
off surgery. How surprised were you that they didn't send
an extra guy or two?
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Well, so the touchdown of Darnell Moone was cover zero,
So that was in all outpuits so if anything, you know,
when they did bring the blitz, you know, we had
our biggest play of the night in terms of an
explosive play, So he may have said, hey, I learned
my lesson sending the pressure there, Let's not do that.
And secondly, until the final drive, when they were playing
more of a pre event coverage to just keep us
out of the end zone, they really did have a
(20:18):
roof on the defense and we weren't getting many explosives
throughout the game. So I would say their plan was
reasonably effective outside of that cover zero and then outside
of the final drive. So I wouldn't really second guess
that plan. And Vic Fangio is the decorder. I have
a lot of respect for it. Played against the lot
he's always kind of been tough. It's been hard to
find explosives, and in the first game against the Packers
(20:39):
they didn't blitz a ton either, so it was pretty
pretty consistent with what they've been doing.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Let's go around the room and gainst the percentage that
Kirk's achilles is or what he's going to say. So Todd,
what do you think Kirk is going to say as
far as how far along he is with the recovery.
I'm going to say eighty three percentage three.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Ninety ninety five.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, I need you to pick.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I'm gonna go Towarch ninety.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Ninety, Marvin Zeeden ninety five.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Only Kirk's a very positive guy. I let's say one
hundred and five percent better.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Now he's faster, faster, Okay, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
say he's eighty eight percent right now.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
I'm somewhere between like ninety five and one oh five,
So you're there. I create a good parameter. Okay, I'm
feeling good. I think the challenge for me Dan, honestly
would be the red jersey of practice and the rust
that I think needed to be worked off. I think
that being out since week eight last year or after
week eight, and when you come back, you're not really back.
You're in a red jersey, and it just doesn't have
(21:40):
the same feel of live football. I've always said that
going into week one that it's a little hard, but
just felt that again this year. And and you know,
I'm optimistic that as we go here that that that
russ gets off pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
But how does that affect you as far as planting
or running or lateral movement.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
Yeah, I think. I think in the first game against
the Steelers, the final play really basically the interception that
I threw I'm getting you know, I'm there's push, but
I'm used to in practice basically the ce's part. You know,
it's like Moses and the Red Sea, where I just
stand there and everybody just gets out of the way
and I make the throw. And then you play against
the Steelers and you realize they're not getting out of
the way. They're just going to continue to make it
(22:20):
a telephone booth for you, and so kind of realizing
that I've been playing in a much much bigger telephone
booth in practice, you get this false sense of security
of oh, I got space here, I got room, when
in reality, no, you don't. And so it takes live
bullets to realize, you know, just how fast the game
is moving and how just how small that telephone booth
can get.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He's mister Primetime now Kirk d Cousins joining us on
the program for the last five Monday night.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
You couldn't then, I guess the tables have turned along
these lines.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What happened?
Speaker 7 (22:50):
I couldn't figure it out in primetime and I always
strug my shoulders at both sides because some of these
Primetime wins I've had recently, I really haven't played that
that great, you know. I remember we had won a
couple of money night game at the Bears, and I
walked off the field. We won, but I wasn't outstanding.
And there's been games in the past we lost and
I thought that's the best I've ever played. So I
kind of shrugged my shoulders at it. But I'll much
rather take mister primetime than what it used to be.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
But what is that like when you throw that interception
that that you know, you feel like, okay, we've lost
this game where I've cost us. That feeling of walking off,
you know, to the sidelines, going into the locker room,
you know.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
It definitely ruined my my afternoon, in my evening, Dan,
it's pretty miserable.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
But when you go home to the kid's wife.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Nah, no, it's there's no there's no consolation. I was
sitting there watching the Lions and Rams and I'm pretty
miserable on Sunday night. That's honestly Again, that's the challenge
I've had my whole career is how do you how
do you still sort of sleep at night. How do
you you know, cause you're gonna fail, This league's gonna
test you. Is being able to kind of let it
(23:56):
roll off your back and just move forward. For me,
it's always been you just wear it so hard. And
that was something that both Sean mcvayh and I used
to kind of, you know, have a kindred spirit about.
Is it just it just eats at you, and it's
what it's what makes you great. It's one of your
greatest strengths, but then it can also be one of
your biggest challenges you face. And and just that that
how much it means to you something I've always tried
(24:18):
to kind of balance.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
But the pressure that I see on these rookie quarterbacks.
You played I think one game your rookie season, but
you know, high draft pick, come on in and let's
see some magic here. Uh Bryce Young from last year
now he gets binged. I can you can you put
us in that position of what that pressure is like
for these kids?
Speaker 7 (24:39):
Yeah, it's it's it's difficult. First of all, football's a
team game. And so when you have a great system,
great coaches around you, getting people wide open, the protection
plans outstanding you're gonna look a little better, and vice versa.
When you you know, if you got to you know
people around you who aren't really helping move the needle,
that can make it a lot harder too. So h
(25:00):
the quarterback gets evaluated so much as if he's on
an island, when in reality it's a team deal. And
then certainly as a rookie, there's gonna be you know,
a learning curve. There's gonna be things that you've got
to figure out. And then then year two comes where
defenses say, okay, we've got a year of film on you.
Now we're gonna study you and start to figure out
(25:20):
better how to defend you. So even once you have
a good rookie year, that doesn't suddenly mean you've got
it all figured out. So it's a marathon, not a sprint.
I learned that firsthand being a fourth round pick thinking
they go into Washington was a dead end, and seeing
how my career played out, you got to play for
the long game and just believe that if you have
good habits and a good process, that the long game
will work itself out.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You got the Chiefs coming to.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
Town, yep, Sunday night, Howell.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
How often do you watch the other quarterback too, not
as a fan, but just watching during the game of
what Mahomes to do, or Brady would do, or Josh
whoever it might be.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Well, it's funny. I remember driving home from a game
last year. We play at noon in Minnesota Central Time,
so we'd be driving home at like four o'clock, and
my wife, who loves following it all, said in the
cars she said, all the sunny night football this week
is Mahomes versus Stafford. That's gonna be great. It's gonna
be a lot of fun, or whatever the two quarterbacks were.
And I remember kind of kind of laughing. I'm like, well,
(26:19):
it's the Chiefs versus the Rams, it's not Maholmes verse Stafford.
But but her point is is that the quarterbacks are
what makes it fun to watch. And I would tend
to agree with her that when you have two really
high leveled, experienced quarterbacks with a lot of skins on
the wall, that's what kind of draws my interest the
most to watch and to study and to see. And
so I think that's where football gets really fun, is
(26:41):
when you get those quarterbacks so you feel really know
what they're doing. It's really the best product.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Okay, full disclosure. I wasn't big on the uniforms, the
away uniforms, the.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
All white with the black helmet.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, I needed I need a little more umphin there,
a little bit more contrast in there. And I know,
if you can work this in your contract, well.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
I negotiated a lot of contracts over the years, so
I'm open to any You're.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Very good at it. You're very good at it. I
think we gotta we gotta do a little better on
the road. It just felt a little your uniforms felt incomplete.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
See, well, I don't want I don't want incomplete uniforms.
But when I played at Michigan State, our style was
all white head to toe with with the green helmet.
And so when I came in the locker room the
other night and saw it's gonna be all white with
the black helmet, it kind of took me back to
my Michigan State days and I thought, I can I
can work with this. We had success with this in college,
so I was open to it. You know, the linemen
(27:38):
tend to like all black because black is slimming. They
do not like all white. They feel like they're walking
out there looking like the michelin Man. So linemen would
be more on your corner. The all white does not
work for them.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
When Drake London goes to the line of scrimmage, does
he have any options thereof? I mean, the move is
incredible to score the game winner, but right like, how
does that work? What's the play call? And it's going
to him? But does he have any can he change anything?
Speaker 7 (28:11):
You know? So it's it's designed for him to kind
of have that basketball crossover. Drake has a basketball background
and so he has a real natural feel for how
to break down and kind of sell one way and
go the other like he's a point guard. And that's
really what the route called for. And Darius Slay is
such an instinctive corner and plays with great vision, and
so we knew that this route could kind of kind
of play to Darius's game where if Drake gives that
(28:34):
move inside, he'll he'll react and he'll go for that
big play and then we can break back out to
the front pylon. Really, the freedom that Drake has is
which angle to said do what does he flatten into
the front pilon? Does he kind of set it higher?
So based on the coverage contour, he'll change that angle.
But once I saw him kind of get Darius to
bite inside, I just knew I had to put it
out to the sideline and he'll go get it. And
(28:56):
very rarely do you get that much separation down in
the low resident. So Drake made my j a lot easier.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
How where will you be where Chris Jones is?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Yeah, you have to be he'll wreck the game if
you're not.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
But do you go to the line of scrimmage and
how often do you look for a defensive player single
out a defensive player?
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Yeah? No, I think there's a lot of awareness. Certainly
where's ninety five and uh? And for our old line,
our center, you know that whole thing. You know, whether
it's Aaron Donald, whether it's Max Crosby, whether it's Nick Bosa.
You know, there's there's just over a half dozen, maybe
a dozen guys in the league like that who will
wreck the game if you don't have four hands on them,
as many players as possible. You know, Chris is a
(29:40):
personality on the field. He'll make himself known. You know,
you don't really have to go look at for him
because he's gonna he'll break the huddle, he's making he's
having a conversation. You're in a TV time out, he's
having a conversation. So they were the lineman last year
in Minnesota and we played and we're joking. They said,
Chris is, you know, big personality. He's pretty friendly, he's
positive out there, but I don't really want to hear
any of it. He's ruining my day. So uh yeah,
(30:02):
we'll hopefully be able to uh to corral him on Sunday.
But he's he's the real deal.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Do those guys Do you get yelled at by defensive players?
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Yeah? Usually, you know it's everything from the week one
TJ Watt after a play where you know, he does
a drive by and I kind of hear him and
feel him as I throw the ball. He'll he'll walk
back to the next play and just say, hey, what's up,
Kirk and just kind of like he's saying hello. And
there's other guys who you know, they may yell you
like that at me. Uh, you know, you'll get guys
who have more to say. You know, Brandon Graham at
(30:32):
the coin toss I I you know, go back to
playing him at the University of Michigan. We both grew
up in Michigan, so I've always you know, followed him
and dap him up at the coin toss and he's
gonna let me know, Hey, you know you're gonna see
me at the coin toss, but you're gonna see me
a lot this game. So he tries to, you know,
kind of get in your head from the from the
coin toss. So there's always talk going.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
But you're not a trash talker.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
So my my perspective is the same perspective of most quarterbacks,
which is why in the world would I gas them up?
Like like football is hard, and why in the world
would I add fuel to that fire? And sometimes I
see teammates who are adding fuel to their fire, and
I look like, go, guys, you're not the one standing
back in the pocket that they're foaming at the mouth
to come get Please stop, please stop adding fuel to
(31:14):
their fire.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Do you try to be overly nice?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
There's a little bit of that. I don't think there's
anything wrong with hey, nice, play, good rush, you know,
how are the wife and kids? Good? Cheap shot?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You don't say anything like that. You don't say a
nice cheap shot.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
No, No, you just kind of try to keep it civil.
Don't give him any any additional reason that they already
have to come take your head off.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
He's the new mister Primetime and Primetime Sunday Night. Kirk
de Cousins, Hey, great to talk to you again. Congratulations
on the win.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Good catching up, Thanks Dan, and only here.

was at Michigan State. All right, will take a last

on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (33:28):
Yea, my uncle from another mother. My brother's behind the
boards in honor of you and mister dark Knight's anniversary,
said Hey, I have one off the top rope for you,
mister Dann Patrick. Of course, we know the great camaraderie
you have with guys just like Kirkie Cousins see where
Charles Barkley, all the great interviews you do. But if
you could take one off your resume before you retire,
(33:48):
Tanya Harding, Tyler Murray, mister collabor, David Stern or Matt.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Harvey, if I could take one off of my interview.
Speaker 12 (33:59):
List, off your interview list, Yes, sir, I.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Wouldn't take any of them off. They all happened. They
were all interesting for differing reasons. But no, I mean,
is it cringey for me? Yes, but it's content and
it could be entertaining for you, Like I have to
put my ego to the side, and like, how dare them?
Don't they know who? Nobody cares? But no, I wouldn't.
(34:27):
They're uncomfortable for me to watch the Danins. They had
no problem watching Matt Harvey's interview again and again and again.
Seatings like it gets better every time you see it.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
It does every time. It's one of those things that
every time I watch it or listen to it, I
see or hear something new.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
That is just hilarious. I didn't realize how long the
qualcom pitch was by him. It's over two minutes, like
crazy Todd was. I was right with Chris w stand his.
Speaker 8 (35:01):
Dad, Abraham Abe Lincoln Collinsworth.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Okay, Abraham Lincoln collins Worth Junior. The third Yes, you're
gonna love this.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Does anybody know what CJ stands for? With c J Stroud,
I've never looked aside. I just found it.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
I didn't think it stood for anything.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
They are his initials. His name is Coleridge Bernard Stroud
the fourth, and he should go by cole Ridge.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Bernard's Stroud the fourth.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
So what's the J four?
Speaker 5 (35:29):
I don't know. He goes by CJ.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Is maybe he Coleridge or.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
But he's not junior because he's the fourth. So he's
Coleridge Bernard Junior the fourth. He should be CB, right,
he is CBS four the fourth.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Yeah, Coleridge Bernard Stroud the fourth.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yes, Marvin, wait, so we can change his name a
CB four C before. Wasn't that the Chris Rock movie?

Joke boy called you town. Hey, joke boy back your
final results of the pole question.

So glad that you asked, Dan. We have many, many,
many pole questions. Okay, if Joho Tany finishes with forty
nine and forty nine, it will be uh fifty seven percent.
Have it as a bit disappointing. We got a bunch
of other pole questions too that I'm not nearly as
interested in. Other than if you needed whose organs would

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Marvin has fifty percent of the vote. No congratulation, fifty
paul you've jumped out to second. I am in third.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Dan, you are.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Barely above Todd by less than one percentage point for
last place, and down the stretch they just barely ahead
of Todd.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
And I don't know why anybody would want anything from
Paula except for maybe as good if you got the
wrong one.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
I got this fresh eye.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Well that's the one he's blind in. Yeah, you don't.
You don't want anything from my body? I mean it
is a wonderland, but you don't want it?
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Voice?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Well, I don't. I don't know if I can give that.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
To your larynx.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I don't know if it would transfer that's interesting.
Speaker 8 (37:50):
Can you transplant vocal cords to someone?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Why don't we check? We got like four minutes before
we have say goodbye, before we have to say goodbye.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Yeah yeah, deep Boy's Danny's bag.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Oh yeah, you know what. I had a little keeper's
heart last night.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
I found myself more than I should have yesterday doing this.
You did this at the very end of the show yesterday.
But we got these like drink big things.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
These are big canisters that have our school logos except
for poly got A Chicago Bears one. These are big
canisters that you can drink water out of.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yeah, but then you.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Started talking into yours now betting. Yeah, well see I
got water in mine. Oh you can't do it. I
don't know, Luke. I am the offa the it's a
little more shallow than it was yesterday, but so am
I now batting number twenty five, the left fielder and
(38:51):
raining MVP say hello to very Bonds BM.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
It's so funny to me that the very first thing
you did as soon as you got this is not like, oh,
I wonder what kind of drink I put him?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
The first thing you do, now, Ben what it took
me back to when I was in spring training and
I got to introduce Barry Bonds, and it sounded just
like that now batting and just to hear it over
the loud speaker. And then Bonds is there at the
plate and he looks up to see who's saying this,
and then then he homers. And then the next time
(39:25):
he came up now batting number twenty five, a man
who homered for me and who's lasted bad say hello
to and then people are looking up and Bonds is
looking up, and I'm like, oh, maybe I should have
Maybe I shouldn't take liberties there with Barry. But and
then of course he takes himself out of the game.
Paully goes down see if we can get him on
(39:46):
our show, and then Bond says no is a fast
no as well, And I'm like, I just called your
home run two of them, and then we couldn't get
him on the show. Eh, that's his loss. Actually it
was my loss, Like why.
Speaker 8 (40:01):
Would you say no? That still bothers me. Why would
someone say just a couple of minutes to say hi?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
He just couldn't be nice, don't understand it couldn't be nice,
couldn't just buddon in him.
Speaker 11 (40:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Let's see our friends at Panini stat of the Day,
thank you our official trading cards at the Dan Patrick Show.
This day in sports history, Paul.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
I'm gonna skip sports history, but I want to tell
you this. The only the third larynx transplant surgery in
US history took place just a couple months ago at
the Mayo Clinic. It's one of the more rare transplant
surgeries worldwide.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I am willing to give my larynx to somebody, prefer
money when I'm dead. On this date, two thousand and four,
are good, buddy. Maurice Jones Drew rushed for three hundred
and twenty two yards five touchdowns. UCLA beat Washington. Let's
see this happened on this day in nineteen eighty seven,
(40:57):
this player became the first player where forty years or
older to have a thirty home run season. I did
not know this. Darryl Evans, not Dwight Daryl Evans, All right, Todd,
would you learn today?
Speaker 9 (41:11):
Kirk Cousins was more than happy to talk football with us,
but did want to make sure to Hunter qualcomm seton.

Would you learn today? Forty eight and forty nine equal
fifty Todd, what did I learn today?
