Hour 3 – Rick Neuheisel, Jeff Passan

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

00:00:05
Speaker 2: In this Monday, Dan and the Dana at Stan Patrick Show come on in. Seaton's on the road headed to Vegas, and the Mayo Van Dylan's in his seat this week, Todd's here, Marvin Pauliers truly and.

00:00:16
Speaker 3: The brg's as well.

00:00:18
Speaker 2: Rick Neuheisel, the college football analyst for CBS former college coach, will join us coming up a little bit and we'll answer the question did Fernando Mendoza win the Heisman this weekend with the throw against Penn State. Talk to him about that. Also, have some information about Brian Kelly, the exit strategy that LSU is trying to pull off with Brian and paying him off. Also a lot of coaching rumors right now, the stuff that I heard over the weekend. I'm thinking that can't happen. There's a lot of openings and everybody's trying to navigate, and there are a couple of major players in college football, whether it's a coach or an agent or an athletic director, and I just think we're headed for a wild offseason here. So rickle Join is coming up here. You got a game coming up tonight, Eagles at the Packers, Eagles on the road, favored by one and a half eight seven seven three DP show. We'll get some more phone calls, best and worst of the weekend, What you saw that you liked, you didn't like. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner, and we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Football started early yesterday and people missed Jonathan Taylor rushing for two hundred and forty four yards the overtime win. Had three rushing touchdowns, so that is now sixty four rushing touchdowns for him, and now he went up to sixty six touchdowns, so he passed Marshall Falk for the most rushing touchdowns in Colts history. So he is going to be the favorite for the Offensive Player of the Year. I don't think he's going to win MVP. I think it's because he's a running back. Although we had Gerald McCoy of the NFL Network and he said, you don't have that runaway performance by a quarterback Drake may. I don't think anybody can tell you his numbers other than he looks really good and the Patriots are one of the surprise stories this year. You don't have Lamar Jackson numbers, you don't have Josh Allen numbers. Matthew Stafford has put up numbers. But Jonathan Taylor, to me, maybe he could win. He could win the MVP, but he's probably gonna have to get over eighteen hundred yards and probably how many touchdowns he have, like seventeen touchdowns?

00:02:37
Speaker 4: Paulie, he has fifteen so far, He's averaging six yards of carry. He's projected at this pace to finish with nineteen hundred and thirty six yards, six yards of carry and twenty six touchdowns.

00:02:48
Speaker 2: I think if he set the all time record for a running back, well, was that.

00:02:55
Speaker 3: Twenty nine touch touchdowns Priest Holmes, No.

00:02:59
Speaker 2: It was just Seattle John Alexander.

00:03:03
Speaker 3: I think he had twenty nine touchdowns.

00:03:08
Speaker 5: Ladaian Tomlinson was up there too.

00:03:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Paulie.

00:03:11
Speaker 4: Tomlinson broke the record in two thousand and six with twenty eight rushing touchdowns.

00:03:16
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean if he gets in that territory now, if he gets two thousand and gets to twenty eight touchdowns.

00:03:26
Speaker 3: I would hope.

00:03:28
Speaker 2: But you know, it's a Quarterback Award it's just like the Heisman. I mean, we've had two thousand yard rushers in college football. They're like, okay, but it doesn't matter. And this year's the same way, you know, Fernando Mendoza Julian saying, although Jeremiah Love had a couple runs over the weekend in the rain and slow, and oh my gosh, he is there's a different you know, there's difference in quickness and different in speed. All of a sudden you go, oh my goodness, Like there's just a difference that you see with certain players. Same with Jonathan Taylor, Like he's got track speed. When he gets through, he's gone, yes, Marvin.

00:04:11
Speaker 6: So what if the Colts go fifteen and two or fourteen and three and he's the main reason. Do they have to have a phenomenal record for him to even be considered?

00:04:18
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, if they would end up with the best record in the AFCIT Let's say he rushes for twenty three touchdowns and he rushes for sixteen hundred yards, best player on the best team, best record, and look, I advocate for other positions because I think we just lock in with quarterbacks and we only talk about quarterbacks, and we kind of forget that the game was built on running backs. I mean, that's the foundation of the NFL. They wanted this to be a pass happy league. But Jonathan Taylor with what he did against the Falcons, that's very impressive. Not so much for the Steelers, as they did not look good at all. Mike Tomlin, the Steelers head coach, had this to say about Aaron Rodgers.

00:05:06
Speaker 7: We as an office, a collective, we're off today, and certainly he's a component of that. I'll let him speak for himself, but we certainly got to be better. Didn't feel like they did anything unanticipated, but certainly they outperformed us, particularly in possession downplay.

00:05:21
Speaker 2: I think Mike Tomlin was asked what did you think of Aaron Rodgers' performance? And Mike Tomlin said, what did you think? Like, I don't have any words. It's just, you know, he didn't look threatening, but nobody did well. And give credit to the Chargers, and that's a team decimated by injuries and they played well. But you know, win those games you're supposed to win those games. Got them on the road.

00:05:48
Speaker 8: Here.

00:05:50
Speaker 3: Let me see what else do I need to get to.

00:05:53
Speaker 2: Let me get to Cody and Tennessee Best and Worst of the weekend, Cody, I'll get to you and then we'll got a hook up here with Rick Newhish.

00:06:01
Speaker 9: Hey, thanks, Dan. Just want to do instead of best and worse, I got two best. Obviously, there's a lot of good football this weekend and Seahawks pulling it out and that was great. And then can someone check on Gus Johnson this morning? Him and Joel Klatt calling that game at the end of Indiana. I've never heard. That's my favorite six seconds of the football season. I had to go back and rewind it one check. Did Gus go to Indiana or did he have a million dollars in that game? He didn't bull Ladder, but I ye, if Mark can find that and play that for all the listeners that weren't able to hear that treat in real time.

00:06:39
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

00:06:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what we can do. I do worry about Gus sometimes he gets really, really, really excited. But that was a great finish. I certainly understand that.

00:06:52
Speaker 3: There he is.

00:06:53
Speaker 2: Rick new Heisel, former head coach analyst for CBS Sports. All right, did Fernando Mendoza win.

00:07:00
Speaker 3: The Heisman this weekend? Listen.

00:07:04
Speaker 10: In any other year, I would have said yes, because that was quite a stage and quite a dramatic finish, and one that got all kinds of play across the country. But this year has been so different, with the names that we're seeing, and with the drama unfolding, with guys like Diego Pavia who had an overtime thriller in Trinidad, Shambliss, these names that I think are going to be fun for voters to vote for going forward. And Julian's saying, you know, playing Robinhood and splitting apples with the arrow. I mean, the guy's eighty two percent passer. I don't remember anything like that, So I don't think we're done yet. Jeremiah Love, there's another one. There's another one. I mean that play against Navy where he looks like he's down and then kind of twist, spins off the pile and goes forty five yards further for the touchdown. All he does is just keep scoring touchdowns, and the Notre Dame machine we have all kinds of respect for, so I can't count him out either. All right, let's start to handicap this. Do you have trends now where you go, okay, this is going to like you can make declarative statements here. Let's start with the SEC. What do you think happens? I think the SEC is going to get five. I think we're to the point where we can say five teams are going to come out of the SEC. Which five are still going to be up for grabs. But I think and I think that Texas, with the schedule as it lays out with Georgia this week and then follow the finale with A and M, I think they might be the one team that can get there with nine and three. How about the Big Ten? Big ten is going to have to push to get to the four number. Right now, I think the top three, the two undefeated Ohio State and Indiana are in obviously finishing off what they expected to finish. And then I think that Oregon, by virtue of that win in Kinnick, is in obviously pending a big game against SC and they've got Washington at the end, assuming that they split those, at worst they're in. The question will be the SC Michigan thing if SC or Michigan. Obviously SC has the win over Michigan and they do get Iowa this week and they get Oregon. Winning both of those games will make SC a potential ten or eleven seed. Big twelve looks like they're getting one. Maybe ACC is going to get one. I think Big twelve has a chance for two based on Utah starting at thirteen because I think Utah is playing good football. The fact that Texas Tech won that game was great for Brett Yormark. Had Texas Tech taken a loss, I think it would have been one. ACC for sure is one.

00:09:56
Speaker 2: Talking to Rick new Heisl, CBS Sports college football analyst four, former college football head coach, a lot of rumors out there, always a lot of rumors.

00:10:07
Speaker 10: Well, how about Lane Kiffin having Florida come to town legally, you think there's going to be a twenty four hour security.

00:10:18
Speaker 3: Around his What do you think Lane does?

00:10:23
Speaker 10: I think he stays, you know, the sec based on the paradigm we've got right now where you just kind of pay. There's really no advantage any longer to have the blue blood reputation as long as you've got the Greenbacks in your pocket. And Ole Miss has proven and shown Lane that they'll go out and do what he thinks is necessary. He's got the acumen and the energy to go out and recruit guys like Trinidad Shambliss and go and check on him rather than just reading it off the film.

00:10:54
Speaker 3: So I think he stays.

00:10:55
Speaker 10: You know, he's saying how happy he is, and he's got a chance to prove it.

00:11:00
Speaker 2: I was talking to somebody who said, get ready for chaos this offseason with the college coaches. Now, I don't know what chaos, how you would define that. Yeah, but he says that coaches that you don't think would move, or athletic directors who you don't think would move their coach, things are going to happen.

00:11:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:11:20
Speaker 10: I think we're at a point of affordability. I think if Lincoln Riley, for instance, wanted to go back to Texas, if there was a place in Texas that he could go and get a great number, I think he'd leave Los Angeles. And I think the Trojans would be happy to say that's okay, because it's expensive to have a guy that's making you know, eight figures as your coach. I think that we have the Jedfish at Washington. I think we'll have his eye opened. That doesn't mean that he doesn't like Washington. I think he's just looking around that lost to Wisconsin. Hurt that cause there's some other guys out there that I think are going to at least test the waters, like Jeff Brohm at Louisville. Yeah, he and Clark Lee and Eli Drinkwitz all have not inked anything.

00:12:12
Speaker 8: You know.

00:12:13
Speaker 10: The Sexton clients are going to use this leverage to kind of ruse and see what makes sense to them. Obviously, Brent Key at Georgia Tech has already said, cut me open. You see what I bleed. That's kind of given us a tip that he wants to stay. But maybe a little early in the negotiation to be saying such a thing.

00:12:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can't remember when we had all of these openings during his season. Yeah, everybody think everybody thinks of this? Well, I think so, because everybody's trying to get to the head of the class. Because we've got an early signing date coming up on one of these early Wednesdays in December, We've got a transfer portal and now we've only got one transfer portal and that's going to start January tewod through the sixteenth. So all these teams that are kind of trying to position themselves for the CFP. Those coaches are going to be late to the dance if they get another job, which is going to be really chaos. This is why most of the athletic directors wanted the one transfer portal to be at the end of April. But all the coaches.

00:13:17
Speaker 10: Want to know who's going to be on my team so I can build for the entirety of the year. Were bass awkward, as they say in this business, and it spends for some time. If that's been the case.

00:13:26
Speaker 2: How would you feel if you were the opposing coach when USC swaps out their punter with a different jersey number.

00:13:36
Speaker 10: Thinking that this might be a topic of conversation with you, I read from the hymnal. Otherwise, the NCAA rule book the following are considered unethical practices changing numbers during a game to deceive an opponent. Now, to be fair to Lincoln, he did this before the game. But the Big ten is saying you can't have two guys at the same position wearing the same number. And so now this is going to be like Dan Lanning last year putting the twelfth guy on the field against Ohio State. This is going to be a rule change. It may be within the week that will get.

00:14:11
Speaker 3: The rule change.

00:14:12
Speaker 10: But some would call that clever, some would call that a dirty, dirty trick. I pat David Brown on the back for making no such claim. Good to talk to you as always, always a treat, my friend. Good games they remember are played in November. You owe me a song here soon? Oh, next time, next time, I'll have something. Yeah, how about yeah before Christmas? The games in November are the ones we remember. There you go, something just sultry like that.

00:14:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Bud. You got a pole, Rick new Isil. Yeah, we haven't had a song from Rick in a while.

00:14:49
Speaker 3: Marvin.

00:14:50
Speaker 2: While I was interviewing Rick, you went and found the Gus Johnson sound the game winning touchdown?

00:14:57
Speaker 3: Does ap up it out?

00:15:17
Speaker 2: See we can laugh at that a little bit when you're in the moment and you're calling a game and it's back and forth. The importance that that might be the biggest play in college football so far this year, when you realize what was at stake there, and to stay in the national title picture, to be able to go toe to toe with Ohio State and uh, you know, Penn State was going to eventually show you that they still do have a lot of talent. Even though James Franklin got fired. They've lost their quarterback as well, and they gave Indiana an incredible match, you know, a test.

00:15:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauline, I still go back to it's still so surreal to see where Indiana football is. If Penn State held on, the headline would be would be Penn State upset. That's number two Indiana at home. If I told you that twenty years ago that that would ever be a headline, it's.

00:16:05
Speaker 2: Surreal even five years ago, three years ago. Now, the pressure's on Indiana basketball. Oh by the way, Marvin, you were watching a little Indiana basketball yesterday.

00:16:16
Speaker 6: I was like, man, the football school Indiana they played basketball too, and man, look at them. But it's got to be pressure because it's like, way, wait, Indiana footballs is good. The Indiana brass is like our basketball step it up.

00:16:26
Speaker 2: How about we take a break here, We'll come back. More phone calls as well. Got a little college football news for you, the Brian Kelly situation at LSU. We will address that after this.

Speaker 2: I asked Fritzy reach out to Jeff Passing does a wonderful job covering baseball their MLB insider. I know he's busy because they have the I think the GM meetings in Las Vegas. But you also have a controversy here with a pair of pitchers with the Guardians and they could be headed to prison. Jeff Passing kind enough to join us. Jeff, thanks for joining us. Bring us up to speed. Can you explain the situation with the Guardians pitchers.

00:17:46
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's not great, Dan, and this is really the intersection of gambling and sports and where it allegedly can go wrong, and indictment was unsealed yesterday by the Eastern District of New York, which at the same US Attorney's office that indicted Damon Jones and Terry Rozier and others involved in a separate alleged gambling scheme. In this case, Luis Ortiz, a Cleveland Guardians pitcher, and Emmanuel Classe, who is widely regarded as one of the best closers in Major League Baseball, three time All Star, two time Mariano rivera reliever of the Year in the American League, allegedly conspired with betters to place proposition bets on individual pitches. So, for example, you can bet whether a single pitch is going to be a ball or a strike, and they would get together, according to prosecutors beforehand, and say, this pitch in this inning is going to be a ball. And what would happen is, you know, ten thousand or so dollars would be wagered. Times it was more, sometimes it was less. This allegedly happened a significant number of times, up to the point where the government alleges that more than four hundred thousand dollars was made on Emmanuel Classe's pitches. Alone, and then this is something that's going back down allegedly to May of twenty twenty three. Ortiz came in, according to prosecutors, joined the scheme this year and on June fifteenth through a ball then was paid five thousand dollars to do so, and Classe got five thousand dollars for facilitating it. On June twenty seventh, did that one more time and the payment was seven thousand dollars. Now, Ortiz's attorney came out and said he is completely innocent of all charges. Plasse's attorney was not quite as vociferous, but said essentially, we will have our day in core and.

00:20:01
Speaker 12: The whole thing.

00:20:03
Speaker 11: It's just really interesting to me, Dan that I'm in Las Vegas right now for a Major League Baseball event when this is happening, and it shows the way that gambling has infiltrated professional sports, and you really do wonder can the toothpaste be put back in the tube or is this the new norm?

00:20:24
Speaker 3: They don't cap prop bit.

00:20:28
Speaker 11: I think it just depends on where you're doing the gambling. And the reason that this was caught in the first place is because they're betting integrity firms out there that tracked this sort of thing, and they saw that Louis Ortiz had a pretty significant amount of money placed on one of his pitches.

00:20:47
Speaker 12: And now that's interesting.

00:20:49
Speaker 11: You know, with Class A, I suppose it's a little bit different, because he's as good as he is, he's as well known as he is. With or Teas a little bit different who you know, nobody knows who Luis or Teas is.

00:21:04
Speaker 12: And so it happens a second time.

00:21:07
Speaker 11: And once it happened the second time, the betting integrity firms flagged the books and Major League Baseball was informed, and almost immediately, both or Teas and class were placed on non disciplinary paid leave and have been gone from The Guardian since July. And you know, regardless of how this turns out in court, the notion that they are going to be back pitching at any point in Major League Baseball seems unlikely.

00:21:39
Speaker 2: And I've mentioned this before that you'll have guys who are on the proof free. They live in a vacuum because they're probably thinking nobody's going to be tracking this. You know, I'm nobody. I can throw this pitch, my my buddies can make some money. I get a little kickback here just like John Tey Porter with the Raptors. He's a no name play and hey, I got an over under and I'm gonna be under. I'm gonna take myself out of the game. Terry Rogier. That's the problem. It's not star players, it's the guys who don't think anybody's watching.

00:22:14
Speaker 3: But Vegas has to watch.

00:22:18
Speaker 11: Of course, Vegas has to watch, and frankly, all of us as sports fans, should be apoplectic about this. Games are only as good as they are believable. And the second that you start chipping away at the idea that what we're watching is real, what we're watching is on the up and up. What's the point of watching sports if you don't feel like there's real competition. And it's so interesting to me that it's almost taken gambling to remind us of this point.

00:22:56
Speaker 12: Why people were.

00:22:57
Speaker 11: So angry about the Houston Astros is because the expectation of fair play of both sides doing this the right way. And I don't think I even need to use air quotes for that. There is a right way and there is a wrong way, and what the Astros did was wrong.

00:23:14
Speaker 12: And even though Emmanuel.

00:23:16
Speaker 11: Classe and Luis Ortiz, if they did this, could say, hey, it's just one ball, I can get back into the count. Class A in twenty twenty four had one of the best relief seasons in Major League history. Even though all of those things are true, it's just the fact that if this exists at one point, is it not a slippery slope.

00:23:41
Speaker 12: Hey, you know I threw one ball. I can come back from a two to zero count.

00:23:45
Speaker 11: Or if it's the third pitch in it bat and the guy is down two, I can waste a pitch.

00:23:52
Speaker 12: I can waste two pitches.

00:23:54
Speaker 11: And then you get to the point Dan where it's like, if you open the door to that, then you're just inviting more and more and more.

00:24:05
Speaker 2: Talking to Jeff Passing, ESPN Senior Baseball Insider, what's the spicy topic there in Vegas?

00:24:14
Speaker 11: Oh boy, well, it's the Major League Baseball off season, So spiciness. Uh, it's it's muted, Like we don't have a ton of spice going.

00:24:22
Speaker 13: OK.

00:24:23
Speaker 12: We need some more, We need some more flavor to the off season.

00:24:25
Speaker 11: I don't anticipate there's going to be any big free agent signings this week. I don't think that, frankly, we're going to have a big trade go down this week is more about just feeling out what the market is going to look like. And because MLB does not have a salary cap, that's off season is accordingly slow. Teams you know, they are able to maneuver around and respond to the market and don't feel like they have to go out and spend all this money early on to take up their cap space. And it's one of the things I appreciate about baseball, like it's it's an actual market and it operates that way without those sorts of restrictions.

00:25:05
Speaker 2: You got a couple of Japanese players who I think are being posted. Is it just a pipeline to the Dodgers if they want them?

00:25:13
Speaker 11: They don't anticipate that this offseason because if you look at now, I think it's twofold number one. If you look at what the Dodgers need. Of course they could always use another starting pitcher, but among the four that they had starting for them this postseason with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glass, Awan, Shohyo Tommy, you add to that two more guys on their roster, Justin Rableski and Roki Sasaki, who are starting pitchers, and you throw Gavin Stone and River Ryan coming back from major arm surgeries in there. The Dodgers have pitching depth, like real pitching depth, frankly from which they can trade and more comedy.

00:25:54
Speaker 12: They just signed or they just picked up Max Monsey's option.

00:25:57
Speaker 11: Now that that does not keep them from pursuing Lunatako Morikami, who is a massive power left handed hitter, hit fifty six home runs in a season twenty two years old and has a chance just an enormous ceiling. But between him and Tatsuya m I, who's a right hander who's about Yamamoto size and has that kind of high octane fastball, really good command and good off speed stuff as well.

00:26:26
Speaker 14: I think the bigger thing dan other teams want Japanese players to other teams understand there's enormous talent to be minded in Japan and you're not going to get those top end guys in the future if you haven't illustrated in the past that you're a landing spot for Japanese players, that you are friendly to the Japanese culture, that you understand the mindset of Japanese players coming over.

00:26:55
Speaker 12: The Dodgers.

00:26:56
Speaker 11: One of the best things that they did was corner the market in Japan and say we want everyone in Japan to be wearing Dodger blue. It was brilliant, not just in a baseball sense, but in a financial sense as well. And I think all the other teams around the league are like, well, you know, if you can't beat them and join us, behave there in Vegas. Jeff, okay, I make no promises, then.

00:27:22
Speaker 2: You already look guilty. Thank you, bun. That's Jeff Passon joining us from Vegas. The GM meetings there, Yeah, I was wondering what the topic is going to be. But there are a couple of Japanese players and their rights have been posted there. But maybe the Dodgers going, no, we're good.

00:27:42
Speaker 3: We like what we have.

00:27:43
Speaker 2: I mentioned some college football information here, and let me give you what I've found out about Brian Kelly. So Kelly is owed the amount based on his contracts provisions that he receives ninety percent of his pay as he was fired without cause. Under the contract, monthly payments will be made through the year twenty thirty one. Now they Brian Kelly and his representatives, they were initially given twenty five million dollars. That was the former ad at LSU, Scott Woodward. They were going to negotiate a twenty five million dollar settlement with Kelly. Woodward then got fired or left four days later, and then LSU said all right, we'll give Brian Kelly thirty million dollars. He rejected both of those and now they got to figure this out here. They hoped to resolve the issue by this afternoon. So you got that going on. Then college football news, there's a lot of rumors out there, and I want to be careful by not spreading a rumor, you know, opinions. Jeff Brahm at Louisville, I was told is the top choice at Penn State.

00:29:03
Speaker 3: By my source.

00:29:05
Speaker 2: The situation at USC is fluid. It feels like because you have somebody who hired Kaylan de Boor at Washington, she's now at USC. Maybe their speculation of a bigger picture of Kaylan de boor Lincoln Riley may be leaving USC. So once again, this is just somebody's opinion on Penn State's leading candidate. And Bram has done a really good job at Louisville, and that's been mentioned before that he would be one of the top two candidates. It looks like the situation, you know, does Texas Tech change, does somebody take a bigger job? The LSU situation, Florida situation, you know. So there's a lot of things going on here. And that's why I was told, you got a couple of people who are basically controlling the monopo boord in college football and who is going where, and it's ads, its presidents, its agents, and of course the coaches themselves. But I was told, if you thought the regular season was chaos with all these firings, wait till the offseason. Once again, that's somebody's opinion on what could happen. All right, we'll take a break, Last call for phone calls, What we learned? What's in store tomorrow? We'll do that right after this.

00:30:28

Reggie Miller will join us on the program tomorrow. Last call for phone calls, What we learn, What's in store tomorrow? Football coming up tonight, Eagles at the Packers. The Eagles favored by one and a half segue, and Depauli says he has a Monday Night football bet.

00:30:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:30:55
Speaker 4: If you remember in the off season, it was the Packers that proposed banning the push.

00:31:00
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:31:01
Speaker 4: Does Nick Sirianni get a little cute, a little snarky, a little payback over under four point five tush.

00:31:08
Speaker 3: Pushes in the game tonight? Wow? Who wants a piece of that? Marvin? I'll start with you. You're a tush pusher, I mean.

00:31:17
Speaker 4: And he doesn't even play football under.

00:31:21
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going under. Dylan.

00:31:24
Speaker 5: I would also go under, but maybe a fake toush push who really throw.

00:31:29
Speaker 2: Them off, Okay, so that the formation doesn't count as a tush push complete the process. Yes, Todd, I'm going under. Yeah, I think I'll do under as well. But I I don't know if Sirianni gets cute to get cute. I think it's just that's part of their playbook.

00:31:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauling, I'm going over, and I'm going early next. Sirianni is not a a guy who forgets grudges.

00:31:54
Speaker 2: Well, it'd be silly if he's gonna go We're gonna rub it in over your Matt Lafleur and the Packers I would just win the game.

00:32:03
Speaker 3: Just win the game.

00:32:04
Speaker 2: You get a couple of Toush pushes, enjoy while it's here, because I don't think it's here next year.

00:32:08
Speaker 5: Yes, Dylan, Uh, we have to make sure there's you know, integrity with this bet stuff. They're running the Toush push on like second and nine, we'll know Polly got to them for the over.

00:32:19
Speaker 2: Who exactly would you have gotten to Dylan? His contact Big Big Dom, Big Big Dom allegedly Big Dump. All right, Uh, I think we're having a meet Tuesday tomorrow.

00:32:33
Speaker 3: What I think.

00:32:35
Speaker 2: I because the people from Heartland Steak are coming in now? Do they want their steak? If they're coming in on the road to the man Cave? Because I said to Dylan, shouldn't we make something different for them?

00:32:49
Speaker 8: Yeah?

00:32:49
Speaker 5: Like do they want sushi instead of steak that they eat all the time?

00:32:53
Speaker 3: But I think they do, Yeah, but they have steak all the time. Yes, Toun.

00:32:58
Speaker 6: There's a lot like a cannibalism kind of thing from a sponsor staple your own.

00:33:01
Speaker 12: It seems a little weird, but I'll eat steak every day.

00:33:04
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I think we'll have a meat Tuesday tomorrow. I saw those Tomahawks steaks out there defrosting.

00:33:11
Speaker 5: They looked at we got Tomahawks and porter houses.

00:33:13
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:33:14
Speaker 2: Wow, no nobody, no buddies. The final results of the pole question, Dylan, all.

00:33:23
Speaker 5: Right, Dan, it was the last pole question was worst weekend Bills, Jaguars, Panthers or Steelers. The Bills running away with that one at sixty five and a half percent.

00:33:32
Speaker 2: Okay, that was it was more than a loss. It was like, wow, they weren't the like the Dolphins were the better team. You know, sometimes you have a loss and you go, we were the better team, but you know what breaks went their way?

00:33:46
Speaker 5: That was? Was it like sixteen to three? I'm going hello, and the Bills were still slightly favored hello sixty three?

00:33:54
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:33:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, Poul, I text you guys group, you know, with eight minutes to go, I said, I'm still picking the Bills to win this the next play, Josh.

00:34:04
Speaker 2: And then Pauly goes, nevermind, as you were because and then you said at one point the Bills were favored to win that game according to Vegas.

00:34:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they.

00:34:16
Speaker 5: Were down at sixteen to three. They were either like plus like one oh five or slightly like minus one oh five.

00:34:24
Speaker 3: Well, yeah.

00:34:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark in Indianapolis, Hey Mark, thanks for holding the best and worst of the weekend.

00:34:32
Speaker 15: Hey Dan, My best is the Lions and turning over the play calling to the head coach.

00:34:38
Speaker 13: There.

00:34:38
Speaker 15: Dan, it just seemed like last year's Lions like unstoppable. I wish they would have done it a couple of games before. And the worst what is the Pacers. I don't know what's going on. It's it's essentially the same team without Haliburton, and they're like literally the worst team in the league. So it's kind of shocking they're that bad.

00:34:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, big difference though when you're watching.

00:35:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, Yeah, I don't think I noticed this.

00:35:02
Speaker 4: The Pacers are one and nine.

00:35:04
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:35:05
Speaker 3: Wow, not good?

Wow, that was really bad. I've got a funny worst real quick. The Rams new place kicker yesterday, Harrison Leavis aka is known as best sicker kicker who looked thicker than a snicker in his uniform yesterday, so check that out if you ever seen it. Also, a best of the weekend, of course, is my Los Angeles Rams going up to No Cow beating the Niners convincingly, bringing me to my stat of the day, which is correct. So checking this time. Damn I Tequila hangovers war off. Matthew Stafford became yesterday the first quarterback in NFL history with three consecutive games of four passing touchdowns and zero interceptions. You're the best TV.

00:36:33
Speaker 3: For us this year.

00:36:35
Speaker 13: My bester is just that uh that series. Hopefully they can keep the home and home going. Those Cayes first trip to Chapel Hill to just the lineage of the programs they just it goes all the way back to doctor Natesmith, to doctor Allen de Dean Smith, Larry Brown, all the way to early Williams. So I think those two really need to continue that home and home.

00:36:54
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:36:54
Speaker 2: I watched it and Kansas was up comfortably I think at halftime maybe by eight nine points, and then North Carolina came back. It's gonna take me a little while to get into college basketball.

00:37:06
Speaker 8: Here.

00:37:07
Speaker 2: I'm flipping through and I see Indiana basketball. I'm like, all right, I watch a little bit of this, and that's what I did. I watched a little bit of that. Can't get there yet, Yes, Pauling.

00:37:34
Speaker 4: I got a bunch for you, Dan. Nineteen twenty eight, Newt's Rockney did the win one for a Gipper speech at halftime and a tied game between Notre Dame and Army. Spoiler they won. Nineteen forty, the Steelers and the Eagles played in a penalty free NFL game nineteen fifty seven, one hundred and three thousand people attended a Niners RAMS game. Biggest crowd in NFL history still is the Phoenix Suns nineteen ninety scored one hundred and seven points in the first half against the Nuggets one seventy three one forty three. In nineteen ninety six, Dan Marino of the Dolphins became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for more than fifty thousand yards.

00:38:13
Speaker 2: Backup quarterback Frank Reich in nineteen eighty four led Maryland on six consecutive scoring drives as Maryland. Maryland was down thirty one to nothing to the U They ended up winning forty two forty. Frank Reich involved in two of the greatest comebacks in football history, one when he was in the NFL with Buffalo against the Oilers, and then the one in college with Maryland against the U but down thirty one to nothing and ended up coming back to win at forty two to forty. I don't know what they were down, So that was his Super Bowl year. Kelly was injured, frank Reich came in and they were down big against the Houston Oilers and they ended up winning that game and they went to another suit.

00:39:00
Speaker 3: Does that sound right, Marvin?

00:39:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were down maybe like thirty five to three. It was something ridiculous. Yeah, like a divisional playoff game.

00:39:09
Speaker 4: They were down twenty eight to three at half. Oh, Boilers Bills, January third, nineteen ninety three.

00:39:15
