There's been a lot of great guests in the year
twenty twenty five on the Dan Patrick Show, but it's
all time for the main event.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, it all leads up.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
To this, the final guest of the Dan Patrick Show,
the main event for twenty twenty five the best then
Petro's Papadakis. Let's go be host of the Petros and
Money Show, which you can hear on the Blowtorch AM
five seven LA Sports Fox college football analysts get him
on X at the Old p and he is our
(01:07):
good buddy Petros.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Happy New Year.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Where yet?
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Oh good?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
What do I not sound good?
Speaker 6 (01:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You sound great?
Speaker 7 (01:21):
Well, you don't sound like you normally sound though.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
No, No, I explain that I'm on vacation. I'm actually
in the desert here in a rancho mirage right now.
I'm actually in the Pump Desert area because I'm driving
to yoga. So I'm very happy to be joining you
guys and happy New Year. And I have been listening
(01:44):
to the show while you guys have been doing your
your excellent work the last few days.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Oh wow, thanks thanks pe.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
I got to ask you after last night's outcome. I'll
live in that any fobs.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Well, I mean, my father asked me at halftime while
I was at dinner with my family and my daughter
was throwing to fit because it was Baja Tuesday at
the club and they didn't have any other food available
other than Mexican food, which I guess she doesn't like
because she was very upset and it was a struggle,
(02:23):
and my dad asked me at halftime, what I think
was going to happen what I thought was going to
happen in the game, and I told him that I
thought I was going to be a back and forth
event all the way down the stretch. Even though USC
was playing against a walk on quarterback. I know they
had a few guys opting out as well, but that
was a walk on cornerback. And he led TCU to
(02:46):
victory over USC with their all world quarterback by Ava
and obviously the tackling in the fourth corner of the
inability to end the game on offense and hold on
to the ball and run the ball when you need
to run on the ball. I mean, you guys saw
the same thing. You guys watch USC all the time.
It's the same old story, an unorganized team, a special
(03:09):
teams penalty. I talked to Daniel Teremiah. He made the
point on on Twitter that their best receiver, the only
guy that was making plays, was not in on the
third down and overtime wasn't even in the game, and
they had a giant noseguard, like a three hundred and
(03:31):
fifty pound guy with a three man rush on third
and twenty who doesn't need to be on I mean,
just disorganize overall uninspiring mediocrity, which you've come to expect
from the Lincoln Riley USC teams.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
See, so where did they go from here? Then?
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Then Petro's I mean, obviously we've we've been having extended
conversations about the whole doing away with the rivalry game.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Between YEA and USC.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Then you see a game like this take place with USC,
and like, how does that, I mean, does that have
any bearing on the conversation like where you go from here?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Like?
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Are people going to pony up money and say, okay,
we want to go in a different direction?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Then what's going on with what we got going on now?
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Or do you stay right in the same space that
you're in because maybe it's not affordable or fiscally sound
to try to move into a different a different place
in your you know, in your school's history.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
A big though, I think if Brady made the point
the other day, I think if USC really had the money,
they would buy out Lincoln Riley and stop trying to
convince themselves that they're with uh, somebody that's really special
as the head coach and allow that guy to manipulate
the schedule the way he has and to basically embrace mediocrity,
(04:57):
and I realized the USC teams I played on were
mediocre and maybe even less than that. But we didn't
embrace mediocrety. We went and played the schedule and thought
of ourselves as a high standard football team where the
bar is very high at a place, and our coaches
(05:17):
got fired when we didn't win. And I don't really
know where they go from here, Levarn To be honest,
I think they kind of think further into mediocrity. We
haven't seen any other evidence. They occasionally will win a
big game that gives the fans a little bit of hope,
but they always seem to regrets to the mean, which
(05:40):
is what you've seen from Lincoln Riley over the years.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Is this the I don't know. I don't know if
the beginning of the end is the right term for it.
But if you know, the manipulation of the schedule so
you you know, have an easier schedule and you're not
having to deal with you know, notre Dame any longer,
and then him coming out and placing blame on or
Dame if they go into next year and they're not
a playoff team again, like does did this maybe fast
(06:08):
track the conversation about ar Well, maybe he's not the guy.
Maybe we do need to make some changes and move
forward in a different direction.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Well, when they lost a bunch of games and Caleb
Williams was the quarterback in year two, that was probably
the biggest red flag. And then it just kind of
dissipated from there. And I got to say the stuff
I saw on Twitter where you guys were talking about it,
and Brady made his points about the Big ten and
(06:36):
Lincoln Riley. Oh wait, there's an ambulance going by. There's
a lot of ambulances in the desert. One of these
days I'll be in one. Uh.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
There's a lot.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Of old people out here.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Thank somebody on their way to the outer beyond. Huh.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I don't know. It seems to be I think it's
going to pick somebody up. It's gonna have to turn
around and go to the eye somehow. A metal you
know that. I've visited family members at the Betty Ford
that's out here, and you would never know where the
Betty Ford is. It has such a little sign, you know,
(07:16):
the very famous Betty Ford rehab.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
And I never heard of it until today. I was
today years old when I heard of it, But now
no Betty four clinic.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Jonas, have you ever heard of Betty of course?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, the Betty Ford Clinic.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, I've been there.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It's a visitor. It's filled with quitters, not a fan.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, it's like one hundred and twenty degrees and people
are wearing sweatshirts and shiver and smoking cigarettes outside. Crazy. Anyway,
I couldn't have said it any better than the way
Brady spoke about the pr campaign that USC has tried
to launch and used a couple of their key figures
(07:56):
of social media to help do so, and trying to
pile on the whole Notre Dame thing and find a
way to wriggle out of this. Just because they have
a head coach who has been as disappointing and much
more expensive than Clay Helton, that doesn't want to play
Notre Dame. They've allowed this to dissipate and it's I
(08:19):
cannot believe it again. I walk around just in shock
of how this situation deteriorated to the point where we're
going to have USC football players in the next two
years probably beyond that that are not going to be
able to take the field against Notre Dame and I
don't care about Mexico City or that's the stupidest thing
(08:41):
I've ever heard. You play in South Bend and you
play in the coliseum. That's what the rivalry is about.
So I am disgusted. I'm absolutely disgusted. I know that
I didn't win a Heisman or really wasn't even that
great of a back or whatever. I've had a long
(09:02):
time radio show and voice or whatever doing this job,
and I've never been so shocked and disappointed in the
outcome of the situation in my life. It's an absolute
travesty what's happening at USC and I think it's pretty
obvious to most people.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Yeah, And I want to kind of talk more big picture.
I mean I would just quickly say this. I mean, look,
I was someone who during Meyer there, I mean, didn't
beat Ess and I think to think that, regardless of
the outcome of the game, just not to have the
opportunity to play in such a game. I mean, I'll
be honest with you. I hate the fact that notre
name is to play Michigan anymore. That game meant as
(09:44):
much to me as any because I almost went to Michigan.
You know that was one of my final schools I
looked at, and so even that rivalry going away, which
I know it's coming back in the future for Notre Dame,
but I hated seeing that. So all of these going away.
It's unfortunate because to your point, you know, you don't
have the opportunity as a player to compete in it,
to have the feeling that that game feels because they
(10:05):
do it does feel different, and to create a legacy
off that. I think that's the thing that bothers me
the most is when you've got guys who've won a
Heisman or guys who jerseys are retired, who pander to
the idea of not playing that game when their legacy
is built off of it. That's what probably bothers me
the most is it sounds selfish like they don't want
the other players who follow them to have that same opportunity.
(10:27):
But we talked about this early and I don't know
if you've heard us talking about the comments from John
Kyler Parry and really in relation to college basketball, but
when you look at what's happening and guys who have
gotten drafted in the NBA and have played in professional
leagues in Europe, and all that. I think in college
basketball it might be more egregious with what's happening than
even college football, which has its own issues. Do you
(10:49):
kind of look at this and just say, like, this
entire thing is messed up, like someone has to intervene
to fix it. Otherwise we're headed down a road where
I don't think it's good for any of the people
that are involved.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, I mean, the ball kind of started rolling down
the hill with nil, and we all had mixed feelings
about it because one of the great things about a
college locker room is there's not a number next to
everybody's name. Well, you got a guy like LeVar Arrington
whose locker is next to you, you might recognize that
(11:23):
he's a little different from you. But at the same time,
that was one of the magical things about college football.
But we also wanted to see the money. We've seen
a lot of money being generated over the years, and
we wanted to see that money go to some of
the guys that are at risk and the guys that
are generating in the guys whose jerseys they're selling. So
(11:48):
all of that kind of sort of happened simultaneously with
the television contracts becoming gigantic, and the telemo vision companies
starting to take control of where the NCAA probably used
to be, kind of jumping into that power vacuum. And
(12:09):
the transfer portal of course, became a big part of this,
and a lot of these programs have just absolutely become
not as recognizable. I mean, look at Indiana, sometimes in
a good way, but I think the ball started rolling
as a pebble down a hill, and now, yeah, we're headed.
(12:30):
We're headed in an unsustainable direction, I guess I would say,
is where we're going when you have a guy like
Kenny Dillingham, who's a great coach and a very charismatic guy,
and hey, you just need to stroke a check as
if it's some kind of a you know, twenty million
dollar check. Just there's somebody here in Arizona to stroke
(12:51):
a check for us for twenty million dollars. And the
one thing they don't tell you is, okay, twenty million dollars.
Is he going to do it again next year? Is
he going to do it again in twenty twenty seven,
Is he going to do it again in twenty thirty
or she? I mean, it's just not a sustainable situation
(13:11):
and none of us want to look at what's underneath
the iceberg because everybody on the TV side and at
the universities is making a lot of money, and the
players are making money where they never made money before.
So people are happy with the money in their pocket,
and I think they're turning a blind eye to the
direction we're heading in, which is off a cliff.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Yeah, where did the impact the way? Good? John?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No, I was just going to where does the term
stroke a check? Where does that land for you? As
far as amongst your favorite used by a coach in
recent memory.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
My favorite thing that a coach ever said to me
was an air raid coach sadly on the Bronx side
of an air raid team that had Pat Mahomes as
the quarterback. So in Texas Tech they had a d
defensive coordinator. Uh and he said to and they were losing,
you know, half their games, scoring fifty points a game
(14:08):
and giving up fifty one. And the defensive coordinator was
very sad, and he said, all we need is three stops,
and we can't get them.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
You gotta start with one before you get down.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Something like to win, all we need is three stops.
Every kendah.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
I think I know which coach you're referred to as well,
which if it's who? I think it was one of
the all time great production meeting interviews. Ever, is he
not the best?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
He's up there with the UTSA guy. That trailer is
pretty epic, but really all we need, Yeah, he's great,
All we need is three stops and we can't get him.
I would say is still number one. Uh? Stroke a
check is top fan though, because just how asinine? Hey,
(15:08):
all you got to do is you know somebody out
here is going to stroke a check for twenty million dollars?
How much do you even make it a year, Kenny?
Like twenty million dollars.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
A few coins? It's absurd? Does this does this impact
the way?
Speaker 8 (15:24):
Does this impact the way you're going to watch this
year's Are you going to watch this year's college football playoffs?
And how does it like, how does all of this
conversation that we're talking about does it impact you at all?
Or do you not even give a down while you're
watching the game? Like do you just enjoy the game?
Sometime I find it hard to enjoy just watching a
game because we talk about so many things that are
(15:45):
connected to it.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah, I agree, uh. You know, it's kind of made
the season crappy in a way because and it's not
your fault, LeVar, but the biggest story of the season
was was started with James Franklin, so get it. You know,
when he gets fired, we stop talking about the field
and we started talking about the coaching carousel, and you
(16:10):
know then that bleeds into Notre Dame versus Miami versus
h versus USC. I mean, we've had you know, when
we have the games, we talk all this stupid crap
because the sport is so messed up all year round,
and then when we finally have the games, we still
are too distracted by the off the field stuff to
(16:32):
really appreciate the teams and the playoffs. That being said,
the transfer portal makes it kind of hard to know
who's on what team. You know, we used to watch
these guys like you and Brady, you know, Carson Palmer
play year in and year out and develop as their
career went on, and we don't really have that luxury anymore.
(16:54):
The coaches that retain people and that's a new college
football word, but the coaches that retain people seem to
be the ones that have post success if they have
a healthy program. But no, I mean I watch because
I have to watch and because I have to talk
about it, and I don't really have anything else to do.
(17:15):
And I enjoy Look. I enjoyed the obscure games just
because if you know somebody playing, or you're familiar with somebody,
then it's enjoyable to watch. And I enjoyed the bigger
games too. Sometimes I have to mute the announcers a
lot of the time, but other than that, I watch
(17:35):
it with a relatively enthusiastic eye.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I would say, is there anything about college football Petros
before we let you go that you wish got more
attention that was talked about, more so than some of
the negative stuff that people tend to focus on.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, I mean, I've always said this, and I can't
really think of anything off the top of my head
other than cactus at Arizona where they stick the football
on it, you know, when they get it turnover. That's
pretty good. I don't think we talk about I don't
think we talk enough about that.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Thes yeah, I like, yeah, but I think they actually
take your football if they pick it off, like let's saying.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And I think they stick your ball and then pay
you the sixty bucks or whatever it is, you know
after the game.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Pretty that's kind of fire.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
That's like, that is my That's a pure speculation, but
I think it should be talked about more. Uh. But
the other thing I would say is college football has
always been this way, and I've always described it this way.
It's a big cauldron of a lot of things. A
(18:51):
lot of people of great character and a lot of
the opposite of that, and a lot of people with
the right agenda to help others and to be a
servant to others, and then a lot of people that
are servants to themselves and themselves only. And I've always
said that the sport, my father has always said that
(19:11):
the sport doesn't create virtue, but it reveals it out
on the field when you watch. There's inspiring things to
see on every play. There really is. So I mean,
I think that's the part of it that we might
have lost a little bit in these conversations. But then again,
in the modern era you get the Arizona turnover cactus.
(19:33):
So it's all sets and gutters.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Petros last one for me, the most overrated holiday on
the calendar.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Oh, I don't know, Yeah, I don't like New Year's
Eve because I don't like a day where, you know,
the finger is pointed at you and you're expected to
have a good time, you know what I mean? Like
I don't like that, like where you're told, like you
better have a good timer. You suck, you know like that.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
You Yeah, I think when it's all centered around that, yeah,
that's that. That makes it like if you didn't have
a good New Year, you stink.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
You stink like you and you have like a girlfriend
and you're expected to do something with her and to
take her to some party or something. Yeah, New Year's Eve.
I have a problem.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Thang, isn't that every holiday though? That isn't that why
they manufact money?
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Even a birthday? You only get one birthday, you know
what I mean. Petro's like I was born once. You
don't have to keep saying it every year, Like don't
you don't have to get people stuff like.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Your birthday is your birthday?
Speaker 8 (20:38):
You were birthed once, Like okay, like happy birthday. Like
there you go, like let's let's move on. There's other
things to deal with, you know, But that's me. I
just feel like everything is forced to create you having
to spend money, and when you make money, you start
to realize how much your money is spent by other people.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
That anyway, I'm ranting, but go ahead, but I'm sorry.
And New Year's Happy New Year, Yeah, happy new Year.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
Imagine you could just spend a going into the next
year just hanging out.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
You know what about your New Year's resolution, because I'm
sure you're really excited about that. Yeah, do you have
one for us?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Well? I think generally, I'm like everybody else where. I
just you know, I hope to be able to control
myself a little better in the new year. That's all.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
M simple.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Control the things I say, control being present when you're
amongst people, like not being distracted by something else so
that person actually thinks that, you know, you're really there
in the moment.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I got the Fox Seminar.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yes, even at the Fox Seminar, live at the moment
and capture eternity.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
There you go, Uh, Petros, We appreciate it, and thanks
for thanks for doing it. We know you're you're on
vacation and enjoy the desert, enjoy yoga, and happy New
Year to you and the fam again.
Speaker 4 (22:05):

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Tony Foodsco Show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are. Here's how Dan Patrick
described us when he came on our show.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
What do you doing?
Speaker 7 (23:21):
We were interrupting our promo.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Shut up.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
Anyway, just listen to the Paully and Tony Fosco Show
on iHeartRadio, Apple podcasts O wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yee, it's a Dan Patrick show here Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you and for
Dan and the guys. Coming up in about fifteen minutes
from now, we are going to close up shop with
something we do on our weekday morning show six am
Eastern Time, three o'clock Pacific Monday through Friday before the
Dan Patrick Show. But we close up every day with
(24:00):
a little something called the Leftovers. That'll be yours here
about fifteen minutes from now. We do have some good
news Alabama, who is currently sitting as a seven point
underdog to Indiana, if you'd like that, and the rest
of Quinn's wins. You can listen to the podcast and
get to all of that for your gambling pleasure coming
up during the college football playoff weekend. But Alabama gets
(24:22):
some good news. Ryan Williams, the wide receiver for the
Crimson Tide, has shut down any portal talk. He says
he's Alabama through and through. He's had a little bit
of a down year in comparison to his freshman year,
but he's not even nineteen yet, which I still think
is the most mind boggling portion of all this stuff.
He was fantastic last year. Again, he had a little
(24:44):
bit of a down year, but at least that's some
good news for Alabama that he will not be entering
the portal according to him, that he is going to
stay there with the Crimson Tide moving forward.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
So is it hard for anyone else to adapt to
this conversation while he's getting ready to play for final
game for the chance to go eventually play for the
national championship. Like the fact that the college football calendar
is set up as such, while we have the portal opening,
I believe January second and twenty twenty six are here
(25:14):
in a couple of days it's just absurd. And then
on top of that, the fact that you have a
blue blood program like Alabama who's got a player that
could arguably be looking at going elsewhere. I mean, it
just it was usually when you have a program like that,
it's either to the NFL or their eligibilities expired and
that was it. And nowadays, nowadays, we've got you know,
(25:35):
players who are almost leveraging themselves every year to re
up in what is free agency. And look, I'm not
I'm not saying that they shouldn't do that from a
business standpoint. It's just wild how fast things changed once
NIL was enacted and how it's impacted. I think even
the blue blood programs.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
It is changing the market.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Guys, guys of his of his caliber, his level, they
are able to test the market, and I feel like
that's what's creating the market as well. I mean, you
see what the numbers are, you know, people are putting
out there, like what the going price is for a
star quarterback that's at the college level, like that position.
(26:17):
So when you have a guy like this, who who
has been good at at an early stage where you
could possibly potentially get you know, one to two more
years out of that player, it does become these have
to become the conversation we heard, uh, you know, we
heard Petro say the retaining of players like that was
(26:37):
never really a conversation like you got to retain your players.
It's funny going to the games this year, when I go,
you know, when I go on the field, you'll notice
that there are a lot of coaches that are looking
at the other team, and they're looking at each other's
teams and they're monitoring each other. So even when the
game is over, like guy says, you know, good game,
(26:58):
da da day, you can even stand there and talk
to the player too long before a coach, you know,
somebody runs up and you know, inter intervenes in the
conversation because you just don't really know what these conversations
are that are taking place. So yeah, it has become
a really really big topic of conversation as it applies
(27:19):
to are your players.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Staying, are they coming? Are they going?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Do?
Speaker 8 (27:22):
How much do you have to pay for them to stay?
And how much do you got to pay to get
them away? That's those are conversations.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Crazy on the field before the game, and you got
guys poaching players, trying to Oh.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
You see them, bro, You see them standing as a
as a group, they stand as a group and watch
them warm up.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
It's wow, it's wild. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
And especially if they have a pre existing relationship with
that player from their recruit correct. You know it's also
friendly and everyone follows each other on social media and
so there's those are the opportunities to kind of, you know,
reconstruct that relationship and then happens, I mean, it happens
a special talented players like a Ryan Williams and and
and again to your point, I mean, if you're really
(28:07):
talking from a pure business financial sense, right, like a
free market, it is like guys like Ryan Williams, guys
who have eligibility at their position. If you're really talking
about the betterment of future college football players and what
they can earn and make, Yeah, it'd be who it would.
I'm gonna use a Joel Joel clatt Wood. It'd be
(28:28):
who of you to you know, go test those free
agent market like that that market every single year to
then keep raising that price justice, right, you keep yeah,
well not even just to see, but like you kind
of have to test it to see what else what
their offers are out there, because you don't know until
you test it, and then once you find that out,
then it's like you're going back to your school and
(28:49):
if they want to pay it, great, If not, then
someone else is willing to pay it. But that keeps
pushing up that number. I mean, that's what the NFL,
that's what you know usually guys what aspire to do.
It's one of the reasons why Kirk Cousins probably never
got the respect he deserves for how he conducted himself
in a business fashion, Like he laid out the groundwork
for someone to get a three year, fully guaranteed deal.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
He did that.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
He literally negotiated that with Minnesota, and yet no one
really capitalized on it until Deshaun Watson ended up doing
it and grin hindsight and whether it's worked out is
a separate conversation. But from a business standpoint, that's what
you try to do or want to do, so I
get it. I understand from the business aspect. It's just
it's crazy to me that this kind of stuff is
(29:33):
going on and even some of the top programs. But again,
that's that's business in college football nowadays.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I mean, would you guys even entertain the idea of
having the conversation like you're getting ready to play in
a game like this, would.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You even would know?
Speaker 7 (29:48):
No, that's for your agent, which is another part of
the issue, and we've heard coaches talk about this. There's
no certification process for these agents. You know, some of
these guys could be a family member, someone could be
the roommate. I mean, LeVar just talked about that. I mean,
that's that's the reality of it. Like they're not licensed,
they're not certified by a union like you have to
be in the NFL. So you've got really some inexperienced
(30:12):
guys who don't have any clue what they do, what
they're doing. They don't know the market, which is not
even their fault because there's no transparency as far as
what these guys are signing. You know, we can't like
in the NFL, go look on what a guy got
in free agency, and the team that was competing for
that bid could have said, well, yeah, they were willing
to give him this much more, or they put that
(30:32):
clause in his contract. We weren't willing to do that.
That's that was the difference. That's what did the deal.
We don't have that in college football, so That's the
tough part is you know, you don't have a sense
of professionalism to all of this too, which wouldn't make
this as big of a mess as it currently is.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Well, that's the navigating that cats have to do. Whether
it was appropriate, whether it was something that he needed
to address or needed to be asked. That's just what's
going to be out there, and these guys have to
be more and more prepared to be able to handle
the questions that are are coming their way. There's money
on the line, right There's there's money out there, there's
(31:12):
clout there, there's all kinds of stuff like you know,
people want to be able to announce that they got
that type of a player in the transfer portal.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
You know, look at how excited.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
UH Miami was when they got the quarterback this past
year and loyets a lad to them making it to
the playoffs and they got a big game tonight. You know,
it is a lot that these young men have to
to be able to navigate during their time. And it's
funny because we just had the conversation we're talking about
(31:42):
DK and how he handled that fan in the stands.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
When you think about it.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
That applies to all of this, how how the reporters
are are talking to you, how people may talk to you,
your relationships within the you know, in the locker room,
based on you know, these deals that guys are getting.
There are a lot of things where you have to
exercise personal restraint and you know, control, and and some
(32:08):
of that is through training.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
You know, you.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
Learn that by somebody showing you and teaching you how
to handle those types of situations. That's a question that
should be directed to my representation or that's a question
that I'm not prepared to answer right now. I'm focused
on these things, like simple approaches to how you know,
you conduct yourself in these moments.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
But you got to believe that these are.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Going to continue to be moments that pop up, and
they only become big moments when somebody messes it up.
You know, we'll talk about it lightly, you know, when
when it's just a normal oh, like man like was
that a relevant question? Or what do they do? What's
going to happen here? But when somebody handles it the
wrong way, then it becomes a major conversation of a
(32:54):
major pop potential distraction to that player, to their team,
and to whatever else is that's going on.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I mean, since you don't have to be certified or
have really any legitimacy to it, I want to be
an agent like I've got. I've got an inn at
Penn State and Notre Dame. So if anybody's out there,
what you mean? I'm just saying, you know, I can
make a couple of calls and and maybe we.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
I've seen how you negotiate things. I wouldn't I wouldn't
want you to represent it anyway.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I'm a hard negotiator.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Any Jonas sees like the bottom line? He goes, Yep,
where do I sign? It's like there's no negotiation? Yep,
all right, I'll sign up for that Speed three speech.
Can I get a sandwich and use washing machine?
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yep?
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Okay, he'll come play for that.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Well.
Speaker 2 (33:40):

Like you guys are acting like we have something to
do with it. We don't, all right. Secondly, like the
fact that you keep asking it every day shows me
what type of people you are, because I know, for me,
(35:44):
I got to take care of a wife, I gotta
take care.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Of kids, home, bill, work, all that stuff.

know how to use stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
You know, you also, you also have a life, so
you're not asking the same question every single day.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
For every day, right, if you're so bothered by the

Speaker 6 (38:39):
All right, well, let's start us off with the leftovers
here everybody. So here's one. So the Raven Steelers are
playing Sunday Night. Yeah, we all know about that. But
did you know this, guys? This is the fortieth for
zero fortieth time John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin have faced off.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
Yeah, what other I guess I wanna say Robvalry. But
what other head coaching tandem for opposing teams would even come.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Close to that?
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I would say, Yeah, the Jets fire coaches too often,
so it wouldn't be.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
Right.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
So that would eliminate them from the conversation.
Speaker 7 (39:21):
I mean, Andy Reid's been in Kansas City for a while, however,
like Harball just got there, Peyton just got there, Carroll
just got there, maybe leaving anybody.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Justified from the conversation. Uh, by the way, isn't this though?
This kind of shines a light on the fact that
the NFL is.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Such a turn in burn culture. Like just god, six
or seven every single year, gone gotta go? Hmm, what
else we got?
Speaker 10 (39:49):
Patty, gotta go? Gotta go, gotta gotta gotta gotta go. Well,
we're gonna go to the NBA on this one, guys.
So Jalen Green is the guard for the Phoenix Suns.
He was just recently find a twenty five grand for
using profanity during one of his interviews. There's actually a
live on Core interview with a teammate.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
The teammate was calling.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
Gillespie was having a post game after they won and
played and all that good stuff came by and well,
I'm not going to say the word, but he said,
and I quote, they can't bleep with you.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
And they were like, oh my god, that with a K,
now by a sort of the p puck. Yes, they
can't puck. Yes, they can't puck with you.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
Yes, started with an F, ended with a K.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Maybe.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
So the interview actually chimed in said, this is a
family show.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Confuse mens out there, So wait a second, you can't
that He got twenty five grand for saying started with
a P and ended with a K.

Happy birthday Tiger. You are now eligible for PGA Tour
champions Let's go.
Speaker 7 (41:17):
Hey, I'll say this much. Man, that's a more competitive tour.
People will argue this. It's a more competitive tour than
the PGA Tour because they don't have to compete with
live where some of the you know, there's some really
good players to playing, and Live Tour too. The Champions Tour,
that's where they all go to play. Man, that is
as competitive golf as you will find.

What do I not sound good?
Speaker 6 (01:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You sound great?
Speaker 7 (01:21):
Well, you don't sound like you normally sound though.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
No, No, I explain that I'm on vacation. I'm actually
in the desert here in a rancho mirage right now.
I'm actually in the Pump Desert area because I'm driving
to yoga. So I'm very happy to be joining you
guys and happy New Year. And I have been listening
(01:44):
to the show while you guys have been doing your
your excellent work the last few days.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Oh wow, thanks thanks pe.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
I got to ask you after last night's outcome. I'll
live in that any fobs.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Well, I mean, my father asked me at halftime while
I was at dinner with my family and my daughter
was throwing to fit because it was Baja Tuesday at
the club and they didn't have any other food available
other than Mexican food, which I guess she doesn't like
because she was very upset and it was a struggle,
(02:23):
and my dad asked me at halftime, what I think
was going to happen what I thought was going to
happen in the game, and I told him that I
thought I was going to be a back and forth
event all the way down the stretch. Even though USC
was playing against a walk on quarterback. I know they
had a few guys opting out as well, but that
was a walk on cornerback. And he led TCU to
(02:46):
victory over USC with their all world quarterback by Ava
and obviously the tackling in the fourth corner of the
inability to end the game on offense and hold on
to the ball and run the ball when you need
to run on the ball. I mean, you guys saw
the same thing. You guys watch USC all the time.
It's the same old story, an unorganized team, a special
(03:09):
teams penalty. I talked to Daniel Teremiah. He made the
point on on Twitter that their best receiver, the only
guy that was making plays, was not in on the
third down and overtime wasn't even in the game, and
they had a giant noseguard, like a three hundred and
(03:31):
fifty pound guy with a three man rush on third
and twenty who doesn't need to be on I mean,
just disorganize overall uninspiring mediocrity, which you've come to expect
from the Lincoln Riley USC teams.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
See, so where did they go from here? Then?
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Then Petro's I mean, obviously we've we've been having extended
conversations about the whole doing away with the rivalry game.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Between YEA and USC.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Then you see a game like this take place with USC,
and like, how does that, I mean, does that have
any bearing on the conversation like where you go from here?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Like?
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Are people going to pony up money and say, okay,
we want to go in a different direction?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Then what's going on with what we got going on now?
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Or do you stay right in the same space that
you're in because maybe it's not affordable or fiscally sound
to try to move into a different a different place
in your you know, in your school's history.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
A big though, I think if Brady made the point
the other day, I think if USC really had the money,
they would buy out Lincoln Riley and stop trying to
convince themselves that they're with uh, somebody that's really special
as the head coach and allow that guy to manipulate
the schedule the way he has and to basically embrace mediocrity,
(04:57):
and I realized the USC teams I played on were
mediocre and maybe even less than that. But we didn't
embrace mediocrety. We went and played the schedule and thought
of ourselves as a high standard football team where the
bar is very high at a place, and our coaches
(05:17):
got fired when we didn't win. And I don't really
know where they go from here, Levarn To be honest,
I think they kind of think further into mediocrity. We
haven't seen any other evidence. They occasionally will win a
big game that gives the fans a little bit of hope,
but they always seem to regrets to the mean, which
(05:40):
is what you've seen from Lincoln Riley over the years.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Is this the I don't know. I don't know if
the beginning of the end is the right term for it.
But if you know, the manipulation of the schedule so
you you know, have an easier schedule and you're not
having to deal with you know, notre Dame any longer,
and then him coming out and placing blame on or
Dame if they go into next year and they're not
a playoff team again, like does did this maybe fast
(06:08):
track the conversation about ar Well, maybe he's not the guy.
Maybe we do need to make some changes and move
forward in a different direction.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Well, when they lost a bunch of games and Caleb
Williams was the quarterback in year two, that was probably
the biggest red flag. And then it just kind of
dissipated from there. And I got to say the stuff
I saw on Twitter where you guys were talking about it,
and Brady made his points about the Big ten and
(06:36):
Lincoln Riley. Oh wait, there's an ambulance going by. There's
a lot of ambulances in the desert. One of these
days I'll be in one. Uh.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
There's a lot.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Of old people out here.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Thank somebody on their way to the outer beyond. Huh.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I don't know. It seems to be I think it's
going to pick somebody up. It's gonna have to turn
around and go to the eye somehow. A metal you
know that. I've visited family members at the Betty Ford
that's out here, and you would never know where the
Betty Ford is. It has such a little sign, you know,
(07:16):
the very famous Betty Ford rehab.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
And I never heard of it until today. I was
today years old when I heard of it, But now
no Betty four clinic.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Jonas, have you ever heard of Betty of course?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, the Betty Ford Clinic.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, I've been there.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It's a visitor. It's filled with quitters, not a fan.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, it's like one hundred and twenty degrees and people
are wearing sweatshirts and shiver and smoking cigarettes outside. Crazy. Anyway,
I couldn't have said it any better than the way
Brady spoke about the pr campaign that USC has tried
to launch and used a couple of their key figures
(07:56):
of social media to help do so, and trying to
pile on the whole Notre Dame thing and find a
way to wriggle out of this. Just because they have
a head coach who has been as disappointing and much
more expensive than Clay Helton, that doesn't want to play
Notre Dame. They've allowed this to dissipate and it's I
(08:19):
cannot believe it again. I walk around just in shock
of how this situation deteriorated to the point where we're
going to have USC football players in the next two
years probably beyond that that are not going to be
able to take the field against Notre Dame and I
don't care about Mexico City or that's the stupidest thing
(08:41):
I've ever heard. You play in South Bend and you
play in the coliseum. That's what the rivalry is about.
So I am disgusted. I'm absolutely disgusted. I know that
I didn't win a Heisman or really wasn't even that
great of a back or whatever. I've had a long
(09:02):
time radio show and voice or whatever doing this job,
and I've never been so shocked and disappointed in the
outcome of the situation in my life. It's an absolute
travesty what's happening at USC and I think it's pretty
obvious to most people.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Yeah, And I want to kind of talk more big picture.
I mean I would just quickly say this. I mean, look,
I was someone who during Meyer there, I mean, didn't
beat Ess and I think to think that, regardless of
the outcome of the game, just not to have the
opportunity to play in such a game. I mean, I'll
be honest with you. I hate the fact that notre
name is to play Michigan anymore. That game meant as
(09:44):
much to me as any because I almost went to Michigan.
You know that was one of my final schools I
looked at, and so even that rivalry going away, which
I know it's coming back in the future for Notre Dame,
but I hated seeing that. So all of these going away.
It's unfortunate because to your point, you know, you don't
have the opportunity as a player to compete in it,
to have the feeling that that game feels because they
(10:05):
do it does feel different, and to create a legacy
off that. I think that's the thing that bothers me
the most is when you've got guys who've won a
Heisman or guys who jerseys are retired, who pander to
the idea of not playing that game when their legacy
is built off of it. That's what probably bothers me
the most is it sounds selfish like they don't want
the other players who follow them to have that same opportunity.
(10:27):
But we talked about this early and I don't know
if you've heard us talking about the comments from John
Kyler Parry and really in relation to college basketball, but
when you look at what's happening and guys who have
gotten drafted in the NBA and have played in professional
leagues in Europe, and all that. I think in college
basketball it might be more egregious with what's happening than
even college football, which has its own issues. Do you
(10:49):
kind of look at this and just say, like, this
entire thing is messed up, like someone has to intervene
to fix it. Otherwise we're headed down a road where
I don't think it's good for any of the people
that are involved.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, I mean, the ball kind of started rolling down
the hill with nil, and we all had mixed feelings
about it because one of the great things about a
college locker room is there's not a number next to
everybody's name. Well, you got a guy like LeVar Arrington
whose locker is next to you, you might recognize that
(11:23):
he's a little different from you. But at the same time,
that was one of the magical things about college football.
But we also wanted to see the money. We've seen
a lot of money being generated over the years, and
we wanted to see that money go to some of
the guys that are at risk and the guys that
are generating in the guys whose jerseys they're selling. So
(11:48):
all of that kind of sort of happened simultaneously with
the television contracts becoming gigantic, and the telemo vision companies
starting to take control of where the NCAA probably used
to be, kind of jumping into that power vacuum. And
(12:09):
the transfer portal of course, became a big part of this,
and a lot of these programs have just absolutely become
not as recognizable. I mean, look at Indiana, sometimes in
a good way, but I think the ball started rolling
as a pebble down a hill, and now, yeah, we're headed.
(12:30):
We're headed in an unsustainable direction, I guess I would say,
is where we're going when you have a guy like
Kenny Dillingham, who's a great coach and a very charismatic guy,
and hey, you just need to stroke a check as
if it's some kind of a you know, twenty million
dollar check. Just there's somebody here in Arizona to stroke
(12:51):
a check for us for twenty million dollars. And the
one thing they don't tell you is, okay, twenty million dollars.
Is he going to do it again next year? Is
he going to do it again in twenty twenty seven,
Is he going to do it again in twenty thirty
or she? I mean, it's just not a sustainable situation
(13:11):
and none of us want to look at what's underneath
the iceberg because everybody on the TV side and at
the universities is making a lot of money, and the
players are making money where they never made money before.
So people are happy with the money in their pocket,
and I think they're turning a blind eye to the
direction we're heading in, which is off a cliff.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Yeah, where did the impact the way? Good? John?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No, I was just going to where does the term
stroke a check? Where does that land for you? As
far as amongst your favorite used by a coach in
recent memory.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
My favorite thing that a coach ever said to me
was an air raid coach sadly on the Bronx side
of an air raid team that had Pat Mahomes as
the quarterback. So in Texas Tech they had a d
defensive coordinator. Uh and he said to and they were losing,
you know, half their games, scoring fifty points a game
(14:08):
and giving up fifty one. And the defensive coordinator was
very sad, and he said, all we need is three stops,
and we can't get them.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
You gotta start with one before you get down.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Something like to win, all we need is three stops.
Every kendah.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
I think I know which coach you're referred to as well,
which if it's who? I think it was one of
the all time great production meeting interviews. Ever, is he
not the best?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
He's up there with the UTSA guy. That trailer is
pretty epic, but really all we need, Yeah, he's great,
All we need is three stops and we can't get him.
I would say is still number one. Uh? Stroke a
check is top fan though, because just how asinine? Hey,
(15:08):
all you got to do is you know somebody out
here is going to stroke a check for twenty million dollars?
How much do you even make it a year, Kenny?
Like twenty million dollars.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
A few coins? It's absurd? Does this does this impact
the way?
Speaker 8 (15:24):
Does this impact the way you're going to watch this
year's Are you going to watch this year's college football playoffs?
And how does it like, how does all of this
conversation that we're talking about does it impact you at all?
Or do you not even give a down while you're
watching the game? Like do you just enjoy the game?
Sometime I find it hard to enjoy just watching a
game because we talk about so many things that are
(15:45):
connected to it.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah, I agree, uh. You know, it's kind of made
the season crappy in a way because and it's not
your fault, LeVar, but the biggest story of the season
was was started with James Franklin, so get it. You know,
when he gets fired, we stop talking about the field
and we started talking about the coaching carousel, and you
(16:10):
know then that bleeds into Notre Dame versus Miami versus
h versus USC. I mean, we've had you know, when
we have the games, we talk all this stupid crap
because the sport is so messed up all year round,
and then when we finally have the games, we still
are too distracted by the off the field stuff to
(16:32):
really appreciate the teams and the playoffs. That being said,
the transfer portal makes it kind of hard to know
who's on what team. You know, we used to watch
these guys like you and Brady, you know, Carson Palmer
play year in and year out and develop as their
career went on, and we don't really have that luxury anymore.
(16:54):
The coaches that retain people and that's a new college
football word, but the coaches that retain people seem to
be the ones that have post success if they have
a healthy program. But no, I mean I watch because
I have to watch and because I have to talk
about it, and I don't really have anything else to do.
(17:15):
And I enjoy Look. I enjoyed the obscure games just
because if you know somebody playing, or you're familiar with somebody,
then it's enjoyable to watch. And I enjoyed the bigger
games too. Sometimes I have to mute the announcers a
lot of the time, but other than that, I watch
(17:35):
it with a relatively enthusiastic eye.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I would say, is there anything about college football Petros
before we let you go that you wish got more
attention that was talked about, more so than some of
the negative stuff that people tend to focus on.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, I mean, I've always said this, and I can't
really think of anything off the top of my head
other than cactus at Arizona where they stick the football
on it, you know, when they get it turnover. That's
pretty good. I don't think we talk about I don't
think we talk enough about that.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Thes yeah, I like, yeah, but I think they actually
take your football if they pick it off, like let's saying.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And I think they stick your ball and then pay
you the sixty bucks or whatever it is, you know
after the game.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Pretty that's kind of fire.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
That's like, that is my That's a pure speculation, but
I think it should be talked about more. Uh. But
the other thing I would say is college football has
always been this way, and I've always described it this way.
It's a big cauldron of a lot of things. A
(18:51):
lot of people of great character and a lot of
the opposite of that, and a lot of people with
the right agenda to help others and to be a
servant to others, and then a lot of people that
are servants to themselves and themselves only. And I've always
said that the sport, my father has always said that
(19:11):
the sport doesn't create virtue, but it reveals it out
on the field when you watch. There's inspiring things to
see on every play. There really is. So I mean,
I think that's the part of it that we might
have lost a little bit in these conversations. But then again,
in the modern era you get the Arizona turnover cactus.
(19:33):
So it's all sets and gutters.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Petros last one for me, the most overrated holiday on
the calendar.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Oh, I don't know, Yeah, I don't like New Year's
Eve because I don't like a day where, you know,
the finger is pointed at you and you're expected to
have a good time, you know what I mean? Like
I don't like that, like where you're told, like you
better have a good timer. You suck, you know like that.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
You Yeah, I think when it's all centered around that, yeah,
that's that. That makes it like if you didn't have
a good New Year, you stink.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
You stink like you and you have like a girlfriend
and you're expected to do something with her and to
take her to some party or something. Yeah, New Year's Eve.
I have a problem.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Thang, isn't that every holiday though? That isn't that why
they manufact money?
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Even a birthday? You only get one birthday, you know
what I mean. Petro's like I was born once. You
don't have to keep saying it every year, Like don't
you don't have to get people stuff like.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Your birthday is your birthday?
Speaker 8 (20:38):
You were birthed once, Like okay, like happy birthday. Like
there you go, like let's let's move on. There's other
things to deal with, you know, But that's me. I
just feel like everything is forced to create you having
to spend money, and when you make money, you start
to realize how much your money is spent by other people.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
That anyway, I'm ranting, but go ahead, but I'm sorry.
And New Year's Happy New Year, Yeah, happy new Year.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
Imagine you could just spend a going into the next
year just hanging out.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
You know what about your New Year's resolution, because I'm
sure you're really excited about that. Yeah, do you have
one for us?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Well? I think generally, I'm like everybody else where. I
just you know, I hope to be able to control
myself a little better in the new year. That's all.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
M simple.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Control the things I say, control being present when you're
amongst people, like not being distracted by something else so
that person actually thinks that, you know, you're really there
in the moment.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I got the Fox Seminar.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yes, even at the Fox Seminar, live at the moment
and capture eternity.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
There you go, Uh, Petros, We appreciate it, and thanks
for thanks for doing it. We know you're you're on
vacation and enjoy the desert, enjoy yoga, and happy New
Year to you and the fam again.
Speaker 4 (22:05):

Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Tony Foodsco Show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are. Here's how Dan Patrick
described us when he came on our show.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
What do you doing?
Speaker 7 (23:21):
We were interrupting our promo.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Shut up.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
Anyway, just listen to the Paully and Tony Fosco Show
on iHeartRadio, Apple podcasts O wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yee, it's a Dan Patrick show here Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you and for
Dan and the guys. Coming up in about fifteen minutes
from now, we are going to close up shop with
something we do on our weekday morning show six am
Eastern Time, three o'clock Pacific Monday through Friday before the
Dan Patrick Show. But we close up every day with
(24:00):
a little something called the Leftovers. That'll be yours here
about fifteen minutes from now. We do have some good
news Alabama, who is currently sitting as a seven point
underdog to Indiana, if you'd like that, and the rest
of Quinn's wins. You can listen to the podcast and
get to all of that for your gambling pleasure coming
up during the college football playoff weekend. But Alabama gets
(24:22):
some good news. Ryan Williams, the wide receiver for the
Crimson Tide, has shut down any portal talk. He says
he's Alabama through and through. He's had a little bit
of a down year in comparison to his freshman year,
but he's not even nineteen yet, which I still think
is the most mind boggling portion of all this stuff.
He was fantastic last year. Again, he had a little
(24:44):
bit of a down year, but at least that's some
good news for Alabama that he will not be entering
the portal according to him, that he is going to
stay there with the Crimson Tide moving forward.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
So is it hard for anyone else to adapt to
this conversation while he's getting ready to play for final
game for the chance to go eventually play for the
national championship. Like the fact that the college football calendar
is set up as such, while we have the portal opening,
I believe January second and twenty twenty six are here
(25:14):
in a couple of days it's just absurd. And then
on top of that, the fact that you have a
blue blood program like Alabama who's got a player that
could arguably be looking at going elsewhere. I mean, it
just it was usually when you have a program like that,
it's either to the NFL or their eligibilities expired and
that was it. And nowadays, nowadays, we've got you know,
(25:35):
players who are almost leveraging themselves every year to re
up in what is free agency. And look, I'm not
I'm not saying that they shouldn't do that from a
business standpoint. It's just wild how fast things changed once
NIL was enacted and how it's impacted. I think even
the blue blood programs.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
It is changing the market.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Guys, guys of his of his caliber, his level, they
are able to test the market, and I feel like
that's what's creating the market as well. I mean, you
see what the numbers are, you know, people are putting
out there, like what the going price is for a
star quarterback that's at the college level, like that position.
(26:17):
So when you have a guy like this, who who
has been good at at an early stage where you
could possibly potentially get you know, one to two more
years out of that player, it does become these have
to become the conversation we heard, uh, you know, we
heard Petro say the retaining of players like that was
(26:37):
never really a conversation like you got to retain your players.
It's funny going to the games this year, when I go,
you know, when I go on the field, you'll notice
that there are a lot of coaches that are looking
at the other team, and they're looking at each other's
teams and they're monitoring each other. So even when the
game is over, like guy says, you know, good game,
(26:58):
da da day, you can even stand there and talk
to the player too long before a coach, you know,
somebody runs up and you know, inter intervenes in the
conversation because you just don't really know what these conversations
are that are taking place. So yeah, it has become
a really really big topic of conversation as it applies
(27:19):
to are your players.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Staying, are they coming? Are they going?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Do?
Speaker 8 (27:22):
How much do you have to pay for them to stay?
And how much do you got to pay to get
them away? That's those are conversations.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Crazy on the field before the game, and you got
guys poaching players, trying to Oh.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
You see them, bro, You see them standing as a
as a group, they stand as a group and watch
them warm up.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
It's wow, it's wild. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
And especially if they have a pre existing relationship with
that player from their recruit correct. You know it's also
friendly and everyone follows each other on social media and
so there's those are the opportunities to kind of, you know,
reconstruct that relationship and then happens, I mean, it happens
a special talented players like a Ryan Williams and and
and again to your point, I mean, if you're really
(28:07):
talking from a pure business financial sense, right, like a
free market, it is like guys like Ryan Williams, guys
who have eligibility at their position. If you're really talking
about the betterment of future college football players and what
they can earn and make, Yeah, it'd be who it would.
I'm gonna use a Joel Joel clatt Wood. It'd be
(28:28):
who of you to you know, go test those free
agent market like that that market every single year to
then keep raising that price justice, right, you keep yeah,
well not even just to see, but like you kind
of have to test it to see what else what
their offers are out there, because you don't know until
you test it, and then once you find that out,
then it's like you're going back to your school and
(28:49):
if they want to pay it, great, If not, then
someone else is willing to pay it. But that keeps
pushing up that number. I mean, that's what the NFL,
that's what you know usually guys what aspire to do.
It's one of the reasons why Kirk Cousins probably never
got the respect he deserves for how he conducted himself
in a business fashion, Like he laid out the groundwork
for someone to get a three year, fully guaranteed deal.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
He did that.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
He literally negotiated that with Minnesota, and yet no one
really capitalized on it until Deshaun Watson ended up doing
it and grin hindsight and whether it's worked out is
a separate conversation. But from a business standpoint, that's what
you try to do or want to do, so I
get it. I understand from the business aspect. It's just
it's crazy to me that this kind of stuff is
(29:33):
going on and even some of the top programs. But again,
that's that's business in college football nowadays.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I mean, would you guys even entertain the idea of
having the conversation like you're getting ready to play in
a game like this, would.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You even would know?
Speaker 7 (29:48):
No, that's for your agent, which is another part of
the issue, and we've heard coaches talk about this. There's
no certification process for these agents. You know, some of
these guys could be a family member, someone could be
the roommate. I mean, LeVar just talked about that. I mean,
that's that's the reality of it. Like they're not licensed,
they're not certified by a union like you have to
be in the NFL. So you've got really some inexperienced
(30:12):
guys who don't have any clue what they do, what
they're doing. They don't know the market, which is not
even their fault because there's no transparency as far as
what these guys are signing. You know, we can't like
in the NFL, go look on what a guy got
in free agency, and the team that was competing for
that bid could have said, well, yeah, they were willing
to give him this much more, or they put that
(30:32):
clause in his contract. We weren't willing to do that.
That's that was the difference. That's what did the deal.
We don't have that in college football, so That's the
tough part is you know, you don't have a sense
of professionalism to all of this too, which wouldn't make
this as big of a mess as it currently is.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Well, that's the navigating that cats have to do. Whether
it was appropriate, whether it was something that he needed
to address or needed to be asked. That's just what's
going to be out there, and these guys have to
be more and more prepared to be able to handle
the questions that are are coming their way. There's money
on the line, right There's there's money out there, there's
(31:12):
clout there, there's all kinds of stuff like you know,
people want to be able to announce that they got
that type of a player in the transfer portal.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
You know, look at how excited.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
UH Miami was when they got the quarterback this past
year and loyets a lad to them making it to
the playoffs and they got a big game tonight. You know,
it is a lot that these young men have to
to be able to navigate during their time. And it's
funny because we just had the conversation we're talking about
(31:42):
DK and how he handled that fan in the stands.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
When you think about it.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
That applies to all of this, how how the reporters
are are talking to you, how people may talk to you,
your relationships within the you know, in the locker room,
based on you know, these deals that guys are getting.
There are a lot of things where you have to
exercise personal restraint and you know, control, and and some
(32:08):
of that is through training.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
You know, you.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
Learn that by somebody showing you and teaching you how
to handle those types of situations. That's a question that
should be directed to my representation or that's a question
that I'm not prepared to answer right now. I'm focused
on these things, like simple approaches to how you know,
you conduct yourself in these moments.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
But you got to believe that these are.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Going to continue to be moments that pop up, and
they only become big moments when somebody messes it up.
You know, we'll talk about it lightly, you know, when
when it's just a normal oh, like man like was
that a relevant question? Or what do they do? What's
going to happen here? But when somebody handles it the
wrong way, then it becomes a major conversation of a
(32:54):
major pop potential distraction to that player, to their team,
and to whatever else is that's going on.
Speaker 2 (33:02):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
