You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. It's hour two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan at Stan Patrick Show. We'll check in with Mike Silver, the athletic columnist, and he had a lengthy article, a deep dive on the Raiders situation and Max Crosby's future there. He'll join us coming up. Jay Glazer, next hour, he'll give us some thoughts on Aaron Rodgers' future,

3:06also some of the other quarterbacks, and where they might be headed. 8773DPShow, email address, dpadandpatrick.com, Twitter, handle, and dpshow. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading card to the Dan Patrick Show. We have a new poll question here for hour two, and we'll get to your phone calls as well. Seaton, would you give me an update on the, hey Todd, what are you doing in here? Did you forget to give me some paperwork? Okay, all right Todd. Seaton, what's the poll question for, well, we'll clean up hour two, hour one, and move to hour two. This is the Lou Holtz poll question. When you are putting your pants on, you do left leg first, right leg first, two in jump, or need a fulcrum, are your options. Right now, left leg first has about 57% of that followed by right leg first. The two in jump, aka the Paul Papsd, has 4.1%. That's about 40 people. My people.

4:06Todd and the need a fulcrum crew, that's at about a dozen people. Yeah, I'm going to need to see both of you guys in action getting into your respective pants. Need a fulcrum. Some of the headlines here, the patriots have moved on from Stefan Diggs, the Rams pick up Trent McDuffey, the defensive back from the chiefs, and Lou Holtz passing away at the age of 89. I've been talking about the Raiders a lot, and much to the chagrin of Raider fans, because I've been talking about you're going to draft Fernando Mendoza, just don't recreate what happened with the Colts with Andrew Luck, where they didn't have a good offensive line for a while. And then by the time they did, he was ready to retire. But Mike Silver has an article. He is the senior national writer for the athletic. And this has to do with Max Crosby, and Max's future, and Max was not happy when he was, I don't think he was a healthy scratch,

5:08but he did want to play in those last two games. The Raiders wanted to make sure that they were tanking. They wanted to make sure they got Fernando Mendoza. Well, mission accomplished, but what's the future of Max Crosby? Michael Silver back on the program. Mike, good to talk to you again. If you were going to sum up the state of the Raiders, how would you do that in a couple of sentences? I would even quicker, they're a mess. And Dan, that's usually the case when a team goes 4 and 13 and 3 and 14, and a flyers coach is after each season. But yeah, in this case, they don't have a lot of valuable trade assets. They're obviously in need of a rebuild. And so just on paper, taking the emotion out of it, it doesn't make sense to think about trading Max Crosby. You know, they're asking for a Micah Parsons like Hall. I think that's probably a little ambitious. But there are many teams trying to get Max Crosby,

6:09and he's getting older. He would be going on his sixth head coach, if you count Rich Basace, who had a long interim stint. And, you know, he definitely wants out of there. So, you know, in some ways, this is a simple equation. He wants to go, they need assets, and to get younger. We'll see if they pull the trigger soon, or if this drags on a little bit. Okay, give me the teams at the front of the line for Max. You know, I'm not exactly sure which teams, my colleague Dan and Richini, has been all over this. And I'm sure she will be at the forefront, you know, in the coming days. I know that it makes sense for Max Crosby that he wants to go to a team that has a chance to contend, to something that has not been the case during his razor's tenure. They did sneak into the playoffs during that interim Basace, you know, other than that, it's been rough.

7:09But, you know, I look at teams like, say, the Patriots, the Ravens. There's been a lot of talk about the Bears. I think Cowboys, who have signaled a willingness to be aggressive, you know, coming off of the Parsons train, and then going out and getting Quinn Williams would be a team that I look at. But, you know, it felt like he has veto power. You know, he could threaten to retire if it was another situation that he thought was pretty desperate. I thought the Raiders might be working with him in his age and a little, you know, more blatantly here and trying to find a spot. Their attitude seems to be, hey, we're just going to take the best deal. So we'll see how it plays out. And the Raiders are set on Mendoza, correct? No matter what they're offered. You know, I think if the Jets wanted to do something and say it right, and give up tons and tons of capital, they would listen for sure

8:12and the Jets are setting it to, so that probably makes the most sense. So I would say Mendoza no matter what, assuming they are set on drafting somebody, you could make a case if they're offered something massive they would listen. But yeah, I would strongly expect Mendoza to be the guy. And, you know, they have a chance to try to do what they should have done last year and be honest about their situation. You know, build it back up and try to do it a more organic way. Last year was trying to split the difference. And we saw how that looked out. How did the Raiders get here? You know, it starts at the top, Dan. And I obviously covered Al Davis really closely. You know, got banned from the facility and from the locker room on several occasions. It was not, you know, it was not milk and honey.

9:12But, you know, I always had so much respect for Al Davis, big one of each. The icons of football and obviously had a lot of football knowledge. There were organizational issues that, you know, kept them from being able to recapture that past glory and really since that 2002 run to the Super Bowl, they've only been to the playoffs twice and have not won a playoffs game. So, you know, that whole Raider commitment to excellence thing, that is a relic. And a lot of young people have no idea what those slogans would possibly stand for. You know, Mark Davis was not a football icon. He was like many next generation owners just kind of, you know, born into it. He's tried to find his way. So, I do think it starts at the top. The column I wrote in the athletic explores some of the other dysfunction in that building. And now you have Mark Davis doing something which on paper, I think most people would agree is an exciting thing.

10:18He's turning to Tom Brady, one of the most ruthless competitors and greatest winners I've ever seen. And Andy Sport had saying, Tom, you're a minority owner, give me the blueprint. But Brady's not there. He's working for Fox. He's living in Florida as is his prerogatives. He's got Alex Guerrero, who's someone he's close to in the building as the wellness coordinator. But sounds like Alex Guerrero from talking to players and coaches and other people in that building is, you know, presenting himself as someone's far more powerful. He certainly perceived as a guy who will go running to Brady with any, anything he sees or hears. And that does not seem to be a great environment. And it's part of the equation when it comes to Max Crosby's desire to get out of there. But Tom Brady is running the Raiders? I mean, Mark Davis said it, you know, that's kind of what we all believed last year.

11:18And then when they fired Pete Carroll, Mark Davis issued a statement and said, General Manager John Spitec will lead this search and all football operations with Tom Brady. So, you know, you've got a first time General Manager in Spitec who's working hard trying to do a tough job. But you know, Mark Davis came out and said, Tom Brady's doing it too. So again, on paper, that's exciting. Tom Brady, you know, I've seen him defy odds and galvanize people around him in a way that is mind-boggling. And, you know, I think it's just hard in the NFL for us, you know, watching this from the outside to think, you know, someone could do that from afar. And I can't tell Tom Brady out of his life. He's getting paid a lot of money to be a broadcaster. He's a father. He's, you know, got a residence across the country. But, you know, I think what's hard for people in that building is when somebody is going around kind of acting like,

12:24hey, I'm the pipeline to Tom, but doesn't have those credentials on the football side. That's kind of a recipe for confusion. He's Michael Silver, Senior National Writer for the Athletic, before I let you go. I was always wondering about this. It felt like Brady was a mentor to Shadour Sanders that Deon had asked Tom to kind of help Shadour. And then Tom's in a position to draft Shadour Sanders on a team that needed a quarterback or maybe develop a quarterback. And they didn't, they passed over Shadour, you know, every single round there. It just seemed strange that Tom knew Shadour. He's in a position to draft Shadour and didn't pull the trigger on that. Why? Well, you know, that goes back to the, is Tom all in or is Tom not all in? If I recall, Tom's comment after Shadour didn't get drafted was kind of like, you know, I'm not in charge of that.

13:24And so, you know, again, and that may be true and well-meaning, right? Tom at the time might have been like, hey, look, I'm not going to come in and try to be the overlord of this organization. I'm going to let jobs by Danick and Pete Carroll and my football people do what they think is best. You know, now it seems to be more blatant. Mark Davis is coming out and saying it. So you kind of have to own it. But yeah, I think Dan, that goes back to everything that we're talking about. Is Tom Brady actually all in? Is he running it? What message are people inside the building getting about the power structure and the vision and how it's playing out? So it's probably a positive development that Mark Davis tried to spell it out. And that, you know, end up they have a coach who they, in theory, can try to build something with it. I love Pete Carroll. He's literally one of the greatest coaches of his generation. I think he's the hall of fame. So I don't want to, in any way, say that hiring Pete Carroll, you know, was a negative, but it kind of flew in the face of what their situation was given his age.

14:34It just desired to win immediately and it obviously did work. Good stuff is always Mike. Good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Dan. That's Michael Silver, senior national writer for the athletic. You read the article and you're like, oh boy. And it's not just about Max Crosby, but really that's the microcosm of how it feels like the organization is being run. Fernando Mendoza, that's a big, big lift for this franchise that you, you got somebody that you want to tune in and watch. I would trade Max Crosby. You're not ready to win now. He doesn't want to be there. I don't know what you can get for him. You're not getting a Michael Parsons hole. But you know, Michael said maybe the Cowboys. So the Cowboys just had this with Michael Parsons and let him go. And it felt like they made the right decision. You know, in retrospect, I can side with Jerry Jones. Now I'm finding more information out about that whole scenario.

15:37And Micah, how he was viewed, did teammates like him? You know, so there's a lot more I think that's maybe that will surface, but I did find that out recently. And they made the right decision. I believe that. I just don't know. Do you then now go out and get Max Crosby and give up some of the things that you got for Michael Parsons? I wouldn't. I mean, that defense is really suspect, but I, the second area is what I would try to firm up. I would have said to the Kansas City Chiefs. Hey, Trent McDuffy. We'd love to have him. I don't know if you could get into a bidding war there with the Rams. But if I'm well, a lot of teams, there aren't many great cornerbacks where you go. That guy's a lockdown cornerback and at that age. So, but Mike's columns available at the athletic. Uh, Chuch in Toledo. Hey, Chuch. A good morning, DP six foot to 60.

16:41I, first of all, I wanted to say I find it interesting that you equate your flatulence with Cleveland Browns. I wanted a little explanation on that. But I, as I'm listening to everybody and, you know, with regards to Lou Holtz and the Browns. I did want to get your opinion on her new head coach with the Browns. By the way, I do put my dress shoes on and dress socks on before I go right, like first. But that to back to that, as I blew Holtz was by hero between 1988 and 1989. Notre Dame was unbelievable. The Cleveland Browns had a couple of opportunities to get into the big show. And since that decade, it's been a horrible existence for me, a lot of therapy. I just, I feel like, and I'm skipping over to college football now, I feel like we're losing that one component that Lou always preached.

17:44That's the development of young men. And with all of these payments and now Missouri with state tax exemptions, everything's all over the place. And, you know, my young son says, dad is college football turning into pro football. And I just, I feel like we're losing that. Okay, it's more of a mess. Like the NFL isn't a mess. Like they have complete control and thanks for the phone call. College football is a mess. It is. And blame this on, you know, the leaders in college football, athletic directors, presidents. They don't have rules. And if you have rules, they're not enforced, they're vague. It just became, how did we get here? And it didn't take long. And we don't even know what the end game is. I know the president is inviting people to the White House. I think that might be today or tomorrow. And they want to talk about this. This is what college football from what I'm told is really hoping for that Congress gets involved.

18:50Congress has other things to worry about right now. Not NIL. How about you leaders, you educators? Why don't you guys figure this out? Because you're the ones that allowed this to happen right in front of you. All of you. Nobody cares about geographical alignment. Nobody cares about conferences. Do kids even go to class anymore? I've brought this up. I can't imagine somebody being academically and eligible. It used to be that happened a lot. I haven't heard about it in years that, hey, somebody didn't qualify. Somebody's academically and eligible. I mean, there was a player who went six years and didn't graduate. How does that happen? Yes, Marvin. You know how much they're paying that kid that's got a 1.7 GPA? I know. Oh, he's playing. I know.

19:50Yeah, Paul. And vice versa. Someone graduates in four years, but they're in their six-year playing college football. Are they attending classes? Do they have to? I don't even know. I don't even know. I really don't. Yes, he didn't. Isn't that kind of why schools should be for students and athletics should be for athletes? That's been an argument for a long time because I said they're not student athletes. They're athletic students. Let the students go to school and let the athletes athlete. If this is what your major is, then I'm going to let you major in. I have a broadcasting school. Your major is sports casting. Your degree is in sports casting. We're not kidding anybody. You still have to take core classes. Your degree is in sports casting. Take a break here. We're going to talk to Jay Glazer. We'll join us next hour. More of your phone calls as well.

They didn't have a first-round pick because they traded it to the Titans of the year before to move up and take Jared Goff. 2018 traded the first-round pick to the Patriots for Brandon Cooks. 2019 traded their first-round pick to the Falcons for more picks. 2020 and 2021 traded their first-round picks to the Jags in a trade for Jalen Ramsey. 2022, 2023, first-round pick went to the Lions along with Jared Goff. They got Matthew Stafford. 2024, they used their first-round pick on Jared Verse 2025, traded their first-round pick to the Falcons

25:02for a package of picks that included the Falcons first-round pick this year. Now, the Rams agreeing to trade their first-round pick to the Chiefs for Trent McDuffey. So it's worked out for them, but their philosophy, they haven't changed their philosophy. It's first-round picks, okay, they're valuable, but let's get a sure thing. Now, Jared Verse turned out to be a very good defensive one. Jared Goff helped you get to a Super Bowl. Jared Goff helped you get Matthew Stafford. Jalen Ramsey helped you win a Super Bowl. You've had proof of concept here with this over the last decade and give credit to Les Sneed and Sean McVeigh. They were aggressive with this, but this was a glaring need because when you watch the Rams, they had everything to win the Super Bowl except for somebody who was going to lock down your best receiver. And if you're allowing quarterbacks, throw for over 300 yards, three

26:04touchdowns against you, Sam Darnold, Bryce Young, Jalen Hertz. I mean, these Mac Jones, these aren't great quarterbacks that are carving you up. These are good quarterbacks and you're making them look great. They had a mission. They went out and got him, but if I'm Kansas City, could I've gotten more for Trent McDuffey? Now, you're going to have to pay him after next year or maybe this year coming up, but you're getting a really valuable player. And that's what was surprising with Kansas City. Kansas City still believes they're winning now, but I don't know when Patrick Mahomes is coming back. I don't know what's going to happen at the tight end position. I mean, it feels like they're going to try to patch this together just to make the playoffs and then hope, you know, Mahomes is Mahomes and then maybe you could do some damage. Yeah, Paul. Going back to the Rams draft history, 2017 round

27:04three Cooper Cup, 2016, round four, Tyler Higby. I think he's still on the roster. He's still a good player. They got hookah Nukua, hookah Nukua was a fifth rounder. Kyron Williams, the running back, very good career fifth rounder. Those are chip, cheap options. But that's the difference between an average franchise, a good one and a great one is I want to know what you do with your other draft picks because what happens is we focus on the first round. If you're die hard, then you're going to watch or maybe only care about your team with the other, you know, two extra days with the draft. But this is where teams win championships. When you look back and you go, what, what round did they get him in on free agent or they traded for him? You know, the chiefs with Isaiah Pacheco seventh round. That's where you win. Your first rounder has to hit has to. Especially if you're going to trade a lot, trade up to

28:08get somebody at quarterback has to hit. But these other draft picks, I mean, that's where it's so important. You know, when you're getting a steal on the fifth round, sixth round, seventh round, everybody had the opportunity to take this person. But you made it work. And that's why the chiefs have been so good. The Ravens for years were so good. It's not just that first round pick. It's what do you do with all those other picks? Stefan Diggs got released, got cut. And he had a thousand yards this year. I didn't think he was threatening though. It's weird when I watch them play. That's what was amazing with Drake Meg. You know, I really good running backs. I just didn't think he had like hunter Henry's not scaring anybody. They didn't have that. Oh my gosh. You got that guy. Now maybe that guy is AJ Brown because it certainly feels like AJ Brown is either going to end up on Buffalo or New England.

29:09And if I'm Philadelphia, I'm going to try to leverage that between two teams in the same division who may want the same guy. But AJ Brown, all right, Drake Meg, now you got your guy. Now AJ Brown is the go-to guy. But if I'm Josh Allen, I'm like, you know, we got some good tight ends and I love my running back. But can I get that guy? I can really use that guy. Yes, he. I'm guessing too that Stefan Diggs is chasing a ring at this point. Wherever he's going to sign, he wants to be on a contender like maybe a Rams team or something like that. I don't know if they have the room for him necessarily or what their cap space is, all that crap. But you would imagine he's chasing a ring. Yes, but I didn't think he was a number one wide receiver, even though somebody had to be the number one receiver for the Patriots. Yeah, I wouldn't think that wherever he was going, he would be the number one wide receiver. I would imagine that at this point in his career, he knows he's not that guy. New England was probably one of the only places that he would

30:09be treated that way when it's like, well, who you or K. Sean Booty, you know, it's probably Stefan Diggs is going to be the one. But wherever he goes after that, who's a contender, they already got their guy. He would be just an addition, right? And it probably a really good addition too. The Aaron Rodgers situation. Now, it feels like there are some columns that are misleading. Like Aaron Rodgers is holding up the Steelers again. They're timeline. Well, he is a free agent. And from what Aaron has talked about, the Steelers haven't offered him a contract. I, if I'm the Steelers, I'm at least looking elsewhere. I'm exploring all options here. But Aaron made a surprised guest appearance on the Pat McAfee show yesterday. I might talk to Mike. I've talked to Omar. There's been no deadline. It's been, you know, that's been put in front of me. There's no contract, you know, offer or anything. So there's nothing that I'm, you know, having to debate between. I'm free agent. And, you know, again, I'm enjoying my time

31:14with my wife and enjoying this part of the offseason. And, you know, I think there's conversations to be had down the line. But, but right now I'm not there. There hasn't been any progressive conversation. Yeah. And it was June when he signed with the Steelers last year. Mike McAfee knows Aaron. You don't have to get, you know, a get to know situation with your quarterback. And it feels early right now. I don't know if Will Howard is going to be a get a chance to start the Ohio State quarterback. I don't know if you bring in Kurt Cousins. Like, wait, first of all, I'd like to know what are you doing? Because it feels like you're going to be nine-nate again with or without Aaron Rogers. Can you get your future quarterback? Is that future quarterback a quarterback who has played for another team? Is Kyler Murray a future quarterback? Malik Willis future quarterback.

32:19To a future quarterback. So, I would love to know what their philosophy is because it feels like here we go again. I don't think you're, I think you're just a better than a little better than average team. And I gave you credit because of Tomlin was going to make you a little better than average. But you're going to make the playoffs and you weren't going to win. If I'm a Steeler fan, at some point I go, boy, we can really be proud that we are overfighting. We had a winning record and maybe we made the playoffs and we didn't win a playoff game. They're not threatening. And that would be frustrating. And you're bringing in Mike McCarthy. And do I think that that's a good hire? Yes. He's got a proven track record. He's good with offenses. I just look at that offense. I go, I don't like your weapons. And then you're going to put Aaron Rodgers back there again. Okay. What am I getting? Like, what is the ceiling? I kind of know what the floor is.

33:24I'd like to know what the ceiling is. Yes, Paulie. Could you see Rodgers being the backup plan for a number of teams? Like, if it doesn't work out with the draft and free agency? I don't think he, oh, backup, but still be a starter. Back up plan for the quarterback position. Like, if Minnesota doesn't find a better replacement, then they'll go to Rodgers later. Oh, okay. Okay. Starter, but not okay. That's where I was confused because he's going to play. He's not going to be a backup. He's going to be the starter. But if you can't get who you need, like, if Minnesota doesn't get who they want, do you bring Aaron Rodgers in? Yeah. Yeah. I think he would want to play there. I get to play indoors. And you've got some weapons there. But, you know, it might be June by the time that happens after the draft. We'll talk to Glazer. Jay Glazer will join us coming up. Tom and Michigan, good morning, Tom.

34:26What's on your mind today? Morning, Dan. 6'1, 265. I'd like to believe my mom, once you said I'm big bone. Anyway, to practice my statement, I have a clean driving record. No accidents. Just a lot of speeding tickets. Back when I was fresh out of college, I was a feed salesman driving a thousand miles a week. I managed to get five or six speeding tickets in two years, got over 10 points on my license. Had to get special auto insurance through a special carrier. And my parents farm had to have all their proof of insurance say excluding my name because I was such a high risk. So those are the things because points only stick around for two years after that they're gone because I'm 55 and I still probably average about one speeding ticket a year because of because of my mantra that road time is wasted time. So then I'm a lifelong dairy farmer where happy cows when they retire, they become happy meals. Thank you, Tom. Yeah, if you get to 12 points,

35:35then I think they suspend your license for six months. But I don't know how many points that miles Garrett is accrued. But what is his seven speeding tickets that he's had? We're looking into it. We had a suggestion for a punishment for miles Garrett the next time he gets a speeding ticket. He has to give up his Bugatti or Ferrari or whatever he's driving. He has to drive like a like an astro van from the late 90s. Okay. All right. That'll teach him. Yeah. Seat and we have a new poll question. Well, we have several poll questions. Do we have a new football poll? We do have new football poll questions. We also have speaking of speeding tickets. How many speeding tickets would it take you getting in less than 10 years to start slowing down? 357 or 9 plus. Right now most people, good 69% have about three speeding tickets and then they would start slowing down. Some people are up to five, about 18% or up to five. That's pretty interesting. And then I'd rather my team sign Malik Willis, trade for Mac Jones, sign Kirk Cousins,

36:37or draft Ty Simpson. Right now 41% have signed Malik Willis. Yeah. I had somebody yesterday, a former NFL front office person said, you know, you should pump your brakes a little bit on Malik Willis. I'm like, why? Come on. What a buzzkill. And he's like, yeah, um, you know, it might be a bridge quarterback and I go, okay, you know, how big is the bridge? Yeah. How long does it take to get over the bridge? Can I have a bridge quarterback for two or three years? He did well with the Packers. He goes, yeah, I'm just like, man, what am I missing out here? Because it feels like Malik Willis is still at an age where, you know, he could be in his prime, getting with a good team. But I would take a chance on Kyler Murray. Certain teams, I would take a chance on Kyler Murray. The Vikings, I definitely would. I don't want to put him in the Jets

37:42situation. Why do I think Kirk Cousins ends up with the Jets? I know. Because then he can, you know, he can be in New York to do is, you know, the CBS football show and still quarterback the Jets as well. Yes, pulling. What if he did the CBS pre-game show and went right over to the stadium and play for the Jets? How about you take the pre-game show too, or just letting him do a live shot? That's producing. I mean, he's uniform on. He'll somehow make a ton of money off of this, knowing Kirk D Cousins. All right, let's take a break. Get more phone calls. Jay Glazer next time. Back after this.

Ian Rappaport, NFL Network last night, said that the Steelers do expect a decision from Aaron Rodgers before free agency, and Rodgers said that there's no deadline because they're not going to offer a deal until they know that he's going to accept a deal. Ian Rappaport suggested the Steelers want the opposite if Rodgers confirms that he wants to come back and play details of an offer will be revealed to him

41:56at that point. So it's a waiting game of waiting for Aaron to decide if he wants to play and then the Steelers would make an offer to him. I guess that's what Ian Rappaport is saying. Glazer will have something on this coming up. Dylan in Orlando. Hi, Dylan. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking my call. Hope you're all doing all right. I know earlier this week, we had a little fire situation. Thank God it was okay, but it kind of inspired me to write a little parody song based on Weed and Start the Fire, but of course, including some band Patrick inspired lyrics, if I can sing. I only got one verse, if I can sing it for you. That sounds good, Dylan. All right, here we go. Adam Sandler, Will Farrell, Big German Pete, Carole, Mother Ship, Backroom Guys, Marvin, On the Air, Lines, Trigger, Grill, Tiger Rack, Dylan, cooking in the back. What did I learn today? Totties in the passing lanes. Dan Patrick Geese and Swago.

42:57Start of the day and a bite of the face. Dan Patrick Geese and Swago will have a ball when Tyler takes your call, your call, your call. Good ending. That was fun. Very nice. Thank you, Dylan. I didn't know I needed that today, but I'm glad I have it. Yes, Paul. Whenever I'm driving home and we have a call like that, I always picture that person sitting at his kitchen table. No, no, that's not it. Writing it again. Yeah. Wife and kids walk by. What are you doing? I'm writing a parody song. I'm focused. B.J. and Peoria. I B.J. Hey, good morning, Dan. In the Danettes, six, two, three, 20, powerlifter, pizza division. I'm talking about Louis Holtz. I do not want to spin on anybody's grave, one intended, but we always forget that Louis also left Minnesota and Notre Dame, South Carolina, and a year after he left in each case, they ended up on probation. That's the only mark against

44:02an otherwise great career. Final take, the bears, I heard you guys talking about them and the older under conversation other day. They're the worst team in the NFC North even last year. They were too informed of the division and are going to play the first place schedule this year, which still means something in a couple of games. I look for them to go eight and nine at best this season. I'll hang up and eat some more pizza. Does anybody want to bet B.J. that the bears finish better than eight and nine? Anybody feel the bears finish better than eight and nine? Yeah. B.J. was saying that at best, the bears are eight and nine. He's going to be a couple of teams are going to take a step back. Yes, Paul. And so many of those wins by the bears last year were tenuous. I think they had 11 last year and could have won eight. That's why I shorted the commanders. Now, Jay Daniels got hurt, but I thought, man, you can't win like seven one-score games. You can't do that consistently.

45:05Now, great teams can, but I just, I thought they'd come back to Earth, but, you know, Jay Daniels, of course, got hurt. How about this? Would you rather know the Steelers' next quarterback, Aaron Rodgers' next team, or see a picture of Aaron Rodgers' wife? Like right now, what would you want? Because Aaron says that he's married. Nobody has seen his wife. Todd. I'm totally going to go with the third choice. The TMZ and me are whatever you want to call it. I'm very curious about what his wife looks like. How is that possible? There are all of these pictures of Aaron walking on the beach in Malibu when we weren't sure what he was going to be doing next. There's, there's no pictures of him with his wife. Yes, Paul. If you're Aaron Rodgers' current wife, is this like a plan to keep out of the media spotlight? Is this a recommendation? Does she like this? I'm going to guess it's a collaborative effort

46:09on her and his part of, look, I don't want to be in the spotlight. You are, that's good. Does she go to games? I mean, it's a big mystery. And the caller, BJ did bring up Lou Holds in yes. When Lou would leave a couple of different universities, they would end up on probation. So that is fact. But I was talking about a voice, what he did at Notre Dame. He was a character and analyst. But yeah. These resumes aren't bulletproof. But he just passed away. As he said, well, I don't mean to spit on his grade, but he kind of did there. I don't know if we're telling the whole story of Lou Holds today. But it's kind of like, yeah, Lou Holds passed away. Like how much time in, but people want me to do my Lou Holds in personation. And I can't do it today. Yes. I got to admit, I spent many times drafting a text

47:14and then deleting it and then writing a text and then deleting it and then writing a text and then deleting it because I did have a lot of jokes to make for Lou Holds. I did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's like, no, you know what? Even in a closed chat, like the five of us, like, oh, I probably shouldn't. Yeah. You didn't even share. No, I didn't. How about tomorrow? I made a million of them. How about tomorrow? Is that enough time? Yes. Maybe. I checked. Yeah. All right. He's 89. Yeah. This wasn't a complete shot. No, he was in hospice. All right. Maybe I'll do my Lou Holds in personation tomorrow. I think like every bit in my body, yes, Marvin. And I think that's okay because 89 is the celebration of life period. Yeah. Like when someone, hey, if I died tomorrow, it's not a celebration of life. It's, oh, he was young. Lou Holds, man, what a run. Yeah. So come on. Yeah. Wait, what's going on here? Come on. Celebration of life. Right. That's so. 86 is a cutoff number.

48:1986. Yeah. If you make it to 86 or over, you can have a celebration of life. Well, you can't complain that you got cut short. I would be happy with that number. If someone offered you 86 clean right now, who's not signing up? I'll take 86 clean general health. Yes, Todd. And we've asked this before, but I'll ask again, what is the age of dying of natural causes? If someone says when he was, you know, 38 and died of natural cause, I would seem way too young, but 77 or something would seem okay. What is the cutoff for dying of natural cause? Just from being old and your body just breaks down. I don't know. I don't know. Yes, Paul. I think a generation ago making it to 77 felt pretty good. Now it feels like, oh, what happened? You may ask what happened at 77. Yes. I see. But it's odd to me too, because like, there are lots of natural causes of death. You know, like a stroke or a heart attack is a natural cause, but people don't say they'd be like, oh, yeah, a heart attack. But then there's natural causes. Those are all natural causes to die from, right? But what did you do to create that stroke that made it?

49:24Yeah, I mean, heart disease might be the reason or something like that. You have a heart attack, but it's still a natural cause, right? I just want to go in my sleep. Yes, Todd. Yeah, because natural causes to me just sounds like eventually a body can't just function forever, eventually it just all breaks down. He died of natural cause at 93. What do you want to do? It's gonna be a lot of 130 J Glazer in the final hour. Imagine never having to buy gas again. It's true. It's real and it's here right now.
