1:00Let the pros handle the lawn. Just don't be surprised when golfers show up. I can't tell you how many times I spill something on my shirt right before walking out the door. And it's always while I'm wearing a white shirt too. And somehow that's the exact moment I realize I'm out of staying removed. And I don't have another clean shirt to change into.

All right, guys, two words for you, prostate exam. Yeah, you just clenched up a little bit. Are you imagining the finger right now? Yeah. Relax. Prostate cancer screening starts with a simple finger free blood test. Around one and eight men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

2:00But that's no reason to re-clench. When caught early at localized or even regional stages, prostate cancer can have over a 99% five-year relative survival rate. Did your tight end just relax? Good. If you're over 40, 40 or older, and have a prostate, relax, it's a bloodtest.com. You'll find out if a PSA blood test is right for you. The PSA blood test can be the first step in screening. Talk to your doctor to evaluate your risk, determine when to get tested, and discuss screening options and the next steps, sponsored by Novartis. I got the odds from Draft Kings this morning because I thought, well, the Rams were busy yesterday. What does that mean for their Super Bowl odds? Draft Kings has the Rams as the favorite plus 750, followed by the defending Super Bowl Champion Seahawks at plus 900. Then you have the Bills at plus 1000, followed by the Ravens Eagles.

3:00Also, the Chiefs are in there after making this big trade, so the Eagles Chiefs and Packers all at plus 1400. And the Rams over under went from 10 and a half to 11 and a half yesterday after they made the trade for defensive back, Trent McDuffin. This was a great move, I think, by both teams. The Rams looked like a finished product last year. You had Matthew Stafford MVP, you had wide receivers, a couple of really good defensive linemen, but the problem was the secondary. LA surrendered an average of 31 points in their losses last season. Mac Jones and Sam Darnold both threw for over 340 yards against the Rams. Bryce Young and Jalen Herds threw a combined six touchdowns against this defense. So Sean McVeigh and Les Sneed, the GM decided we can't ignore the evidence any longer, so they traded for Trent McDuffin with the Kansas City Chiefs.

4:02So the Rams are in a win now mode, and why not? You have an elite cornerback now. Now you can say, all right, Trent, there's your guy. You got in Jagma, you got to take him. And this is going to help out immensely with that defensive line, because now you got a guy that you can put single coverage on some of the best receivers. But elite corners are rarely available, but you're chasing a Super Bowl in your own division, chasing the defending champs, and you still have the Niners twice a year as well. But McDuffin is going to change the game for them. He's going to change matchups, and for a team already near the top, I like what they did. They want to stay on top of that mountain. But looking back at some of these games, week three Jalen Herds three touchdowns, no interceptions. AJ Brown had 109 receiving yards, and then you had two weeks later against the Niners, Mac Jones throws for 340 yards

5:04and two touchdowns. Kendrick Bourne had 10 catches for 142 yards. Bryce Young in week 13, three touchdown passes. Then you had week 16, Sam Darnold. He goes for 270 yards. They lost to the Falcons, but nothing really notable as far as wide receivers there. And then the Seahawks in the playoffs, Sam Darnold three touchdown passes over 340 yards, and JSN had 10 catches for 150. Now you got a guy who's going to make you a whole lot better. And it will come down to this. It's still Matthew Stafford. If Matthew Stafford is able to stay upright for 17 weeks, Rams are the team to beat. I thought they were the team to beat last year. But look, they had a glaring weakness, and I love the fact that they were aggressive. You give up a lot, and I thought, well, Kansas City is getting rid of a 25-year-old defensive back. Now, somebody's going to have to pay him,

6:05and he's going to make $25 million a year, probably. But the Rams looking at this and saying, maybe we have a two-year window with Matthew Stafford, let's go get it again. And they certainly went out and did that. The fact that they're going from 10.5 to 11.5. No other team right now has a win total over under of 11.5. The Rams are the first team to get there. So that was yesterday. It was fun and a little bit surprising, but we'll talk some football. Your phone calls always welcome. Come up with a poll question as well. We have a baseball going on somewhere in the world, with the World Baseball. Well, it is called the World Baseball Classic. And USA versus Brazil on Friday plan accordingly. Lou Holtz passed away yesterday. He was in hospice for a while, age 89. And if you weren't around when he was at Notre Dame, you don't understand the magnitude of what he did,

7:05what the impact that he had on college football. He was one of the faces, one of the voices, very entertaining. And he brought Notre Dame an national championship. But if you were ever around him, he was a guy who was going to entertain you. He had a lot of great stories, and he loved to share those. But he was more than just Notre Dame's head coach, the coach, the variety of places. And I don't think he's in the hall of fame. I'd maybe check that, Paulie. I don't know if Lou Holtz is in the college football hall of fame, which would surprise me. But somebody was talking about that to me yesterday. Yes, Paul. He was inducted in the college football hall of fame in 2008. Oh, good. Okay. Yeah. Well, the bigger felps, Notre Dame basketball coach is not in the hall of fame. Now, that's the basketball hall of fame. But for Lou Holtz, he was, as Paulie said, a pisser. Like he, he wasn't afraid to give you an opinion, tweak you a little bit,

8:09yell at the officials. And, you know, you start to look at Notre Dame football. They've had a lot of great coaches there. Nobody more as charismatic as charismatic as Lou Holtz. But at age 89, and he became a great analyst, a fun analyst. He was with Mark May, with the mother ship, Reese Davis. Reese tells a great story. He played with Lou Holtz at Augusta. Lou was a member of Augusta. And I think when he was at South Carolina, part of his deal when he was coaching there is, he got a membership to Augusta. And later in his life, he couldn't really hit it very far. I don't know if he could ever hit it very far. But the fact that he took Reese Davis, Jay Billis, and I think Mark May to Augusta. And he told this story to Scott Van Pelt last night. But the part three, 12th, he would lay up. Now, yes, he would lay up on a hole that was 149 yards.

9:12And what he would do is he'd hit it before it got to raise creek. And then he would chip up. And you know, sometimes he would end up with a par. But he loved playing there. He loved bringing people there. And he would chip up and right before the creek. So he probably hit it 120 yards. And then he would chip it onto the green on the par three. But Reese Davis tells this story that Lou Holtz won a bet with Mark May. And he had just had neck surgery. Lou had. And they were going to get a picture because Mark had to give him the money that he won on this bet. And Lou goes, hold on, hold on. He goes into the clubhouse. He gets his neck brace that he's supposed to be wearing. And he comes out for the picture to make it even more like, how did you let a guy in a neck brace beat you in golf, Mark May? But that was Lou. He was always one step ahead. And age 89, he lived a very, very eventful life.

10:19See, what's Paul question today? We got two of them here. We might as well start with the Lou Holtz Paul question. One of his most famous quotes, Dan, that you love is they put their pants on the same way that we do. Yeah. So it got me to thinking when you are putting your pants on, left leg first, right leg first, or you're not sure. I want to see if we all actually put our pants on the same way. Yeah, this was Lou's famous quote that he would say to his players. Just to make it like, hey, they put their pants on the same way we do, we can go out and beat these guys. So are you a left leg first or a right leg first, or are you not sure? I'm left leg. Say I'm right leg. Yeah. And my right leg always goes in first. Yeah. I go left. Yeah, Paul. I'm a two in jump guy. I put both feet in simultaneously, pull and jump. It cuts off tons of time. Probably bought me an extra year of leg. I think you learned that when you were four if I'm not mistaken too. Probably. I do the edge of the bed, two feet in, pull, jump, just snap.

11:20It's kind of snap. You kids out there don't try it without parental supervision. Yeah. And a snap. I used to be a left leg right leg because right leg left leg is your mainiac. Yeah, I'd be nervous though, degree of difficulty. Yes, Todd. I wouldn't have many people like me anyway, me to lean up against the wall or be in a seated position to put their pants down. Says a lot about your abs and I think your general core. Do you need to be like laying down or sitting or up against a wall to put your pants down? How old are you? I am 56. Okay. And you have to be seated to put your pants on? I prefer. It's more comfortable for me to be in a sitting position or on the bed or up against the wall or just have some kind of fulcrum to help me get my pants on. Did you say fulcrum? Fulcrum. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's the first time fulcrum has ever been used on this. I don't even know if I'm using it right, but it just sounds like a cool word. Fulcrum is a pivot point or hinge. Yeah, for me, just standing up and putting my pants, you know, I feel something in my lower back or my quad or something like that or a hamstring.

12:23I like to kind of, I need something to kind of lean on. How about you, Marvin? Right leg, left leg. Okay. Anything else that we want to ponder with a pull question here? To and jump and Todd needs a fulcrum. This is producing way more than I could have ever imagined. I like to be propped up a little bit for the, I like to live on the edge. Yeah. Here's one from, here's one switching of topics a little bit. Here's one from Todd. That's funny. This is the Miles Garrett pull question. How many speeding tickets would you need to get in less than 10 years to start slowing down? Three, five, seven, or at least nine? So he has nine speeding tickets in the last, since 2017? I believe so. How do you keep your license? I know you just pay a fine, but don't you get points? Don't they, don't you accumulate enough points that you get your license suspended? At least he's not in the public eye where no one's going to find out about it. He can just kind of like live under them.

13:24Thank you. I wonder how bad of a speeding ticket it has to be. Like if you're always, you know, what is that saying? Like eight, you're great, nine, you're mine or whatever. Um, if you're always at like nine to 10 miles an hour over, where it's really not that big of a deal or he's not nine. Oh, it's a significant. Oh, yeah, got it. He was clocked on 94 and a 70. That's excessive. He was clocked going 100 in a 60. That is excessive. Uh, let's see. What class you might say? He's a miles' derivative. Speeders. Miles per hour. Yeah. 68. 65 in a 45. That's too fast. Yeah. But don't you get points against you in your license and you get a certain number of points and then your license gets suspended? What do you think his insurance is? It's got to be astronomical. I hope he's bundling with Liberty Mutual. Reach out to him. Yes. What is the motivation you think for excessive speeding?

14:24You think it's cool. You're in a big rush all the time. You like the feel. How about you tell me? Don't know. I don't really speed much. I'm the one that gets in trouble because I'm going too slow in the left lane. So I have to defer to you guys. If so, what are my options here? It's very cool to go fast. I like how it feels to be in a car that's going fast. I'm in a big rush. I'm very important and I have to get somewhere as quickly as possible. Even at the risk of injuring or killing other people on the road because I have to just get there fast. I don't know what his motivation is. I've never gotten a speeding ticket. You've never gotten a speeding ticket? No. Yeah, pull me. I think with someone like Miles Garrett or anyone who has a sports car, I'm looking at his car. It's a $300,000 sports car. It's meant to be driven fast and it's not meant to be on normal roadways. There must be almost like a tick that says, I bought this car. I'm going to stretch it out. It's wrong, but I think that's the motivation. And Shador Sanders, maybe it's something about the Cleveland Browns. He kind of get out of there as fast as that.

15:26Get it. Now it makes sense. Shador was arrested. Well, he got a ticket a couple of times, I think, in his first year in Cleveland. Yes, Todd. If you're not showing off, then why can't you just... He's got the money. Rent some time on a racetrack. If you feel a need to go really fast and circles, so you're not putting other people in danger, and how much it costs to go to the Daytona, or wherever you have to go, just do that. Unless, again, you want to show off your car and how fast you can drive, then that's a whole other story. Yeah, I said it. Look at me and look at my fancy expensive car, and how fast the driver. Okay. I dare you to pull me over on Miles Garrett. If Miles Garrett came on the show. I would say it, too. You would. Yeah, only because you're putting other people's lives in danger, because you have to drive your expensive car fast. Well, those are... You know, when you go a Hyundai in a 60 on the highway, okay. I mean, that to me, I got to take away your license. I would think, but once again, I grew up in Ohio,

16:26but I don't know what the laws are anymore with what happens when you get a speeding ticket. I thought that that counted as points, and if you got to a certain number of points, then they took away your license. Or at least I remember that happening to a couple of my friends, who might have been drinking and driving as well. Yes, Paul. I'm on the Ohio DMV website, of course, Dan. And they do have a point system. And if you go over 12 points for various infractions in a two-year period, you get a six-month suspended license. So apparently... But if you get caught speeding, in Ohio, does that... Are those points that go on your license? It also says if you have 15 plus sacks... And you're defensive player of the year. All rules are waived. It's in the fine print. Yeah, but they still... They give him a ticket. It's not like they let him go. Yeah. I mean, you still have to pay a fine. He doesn't have to go to court, I don't think. Isn't there like a miles per hour margin where you go, I think you're going to have to go see the judge for that one.

17:27Definitely. Right? You don't want to get a speeding ticket where they're like, okay, and so your car stays here and you're coming with us. Yeah. That's a very bad speeding ticket. One you do not want. But 40 miles an hour over the speed limit? Excessive. Yes.

Nobody really prepared you for this part of life. When I had some guests stay with me recently, I realized I was missing a few key essentials. I hate when that happens. Really, no more paper towels. Down to the last pigs in the blanket so soon. I didn't want to interrupt our time together by running to the store or give off the impression that I was unprepared for my guests. Moments like that are a perfect example of how everyday life can surprise you. Some days go as planned. And other days, well, life goes curveballs. It's not always convenient. That's why I went straight to Amazon. Amazon helps to make it easier to manage both the routine and the unexpected. From household basics to last minute replacements, you like to have one hand to be a great host. Amazon makes it so you can find everything that you need all in one place, with reliable value and great prices.

21:35So when you run out of essentials, right when the party's about to start, Amazon makes it easier to focus on your guests. Talk about saving the day. 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, Max was not happy when he was, I don't think he was a healthy scratch, but he didn't 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'll do it 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.

22:35They'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. 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, and he's getting older. He would be going on his sixth head coach if you count Rich Basaccio, who had a long interim stint. And he definitely wants out of there. So 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 Rich Basaccio, has been all over this.

23:36And I'm sure she will be at the forefront, you know, in the coming days. I know that it makes sense for Max Crosby to know who to a team that has a chance to contend. It's something that has not been the case during his razor's tenure. They did sneak into the playoffs during that interim Basaccio year. Other than that, it's been rough. But, you know, I look at teams like, say, the Patriots, the Ravens. There's been a lot of talk about the Bears. I think the Cowboys, who have signaled a willingness to be aggressive, coming off of a person's train, and then going out and getting Quinn Williams, would be a team that I'd 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 in a little, you know, more blatantly here and trying to find a spot.

24:37Their attitude seems to be, hey, 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, and 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.

25:38And we saw how that worked 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, was not milk and honey. But, you know, I always had so much respect for Al Davis, big one of these. 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 pass 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.

26:41You 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. He's turning to Tom Brady, one of the most ruthless competitors and greatest winners I've ever seen in any sport, and 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 far more powerful. He certainly perceived as a guy who will go running to Brady with anything he sees or hears.

27:46And that does not seem to be a great environment. 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. And then when they fired Pete Carroll, Mark Davis issued a statement and said, General Manager John Spyckick will lead this search and all football operations with Tom Brady. So, you know, you've got a first-time general manager in Spyck, 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,

28:48you know, watching this from the outside to think, you know, someone could do that from afar. And I can't tell Tom Brady how to live his life. He's getting paid a lot of money to be a broadcaster. He's a father. He's, you know, kind of residents 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, hey, 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,

29:49every 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. Or call Tom's comment after Shadour didn't get drafted. It was kind of like, you know, I'm not in charge of that. And 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 John Spite 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

30:49getting 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, and that 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 a 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, and his desire to win immediately, and it obviously didn't work. Good stuff, as always, Mike. Good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Dan. That's Michael Silver. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Let the pros handle the lawn. Just don't be surprised when golfers show up. Nobody really prepared you for this part of life. When I had some guests stay with me recently, I realized I was missing a few key essentials. I hate when that happens. Really, no more paper towels. Down to the last pigs in a blanket so soon. I didn't want to interrupt our time together by running to the store or give off the impression that I was unprepared for my guests. Moments like that are a perfect example of how everyday life can surprise you. Some days go as planned. And other days, well, life those curveballs. It's not always convenient. That's why I went straight to Amazon. Amazon helps to make it easier to manage both the routine and the unexpected. From household basics to last minute replacements, you like to have one hand to be a great host.

34:52Amazon makes it so you can find everything that you need all in one place with reliable value and great prices. So when you run out of essentials right when the party's about to start, Amazon makes it easier to focus on your guests. Talk about saving the day. Let me start with the Aaron Rogers appearance on Pat McAfee yesterday. I don't know if he... Hello? What's going on? No, we don't know. No, no. Oh, no. Get through the little foreplay with me. Come on, man. You just spent a week in Panama together. I got no love. I did... I did foreplay in Panama with you. You and your lovely wife. I even went to a church with you guys in Panama for a crash Wednesday. I'm a Jewish guy. No. Well, we were going to dinner and it was Ash Wednesday. And my wife was like, I gotta go get my ashes. And all of a sudden, we dragged Jay into the church. No, no. I volunteer. No. I don't learn. I want to learn. So we go in and then, you know, I'm thinking you're going to walk up and get your ashes

35:52and I go, I don't think you should do that, Jay. I don't think so. It doesn't matter how many different religions, like, you know, temples, church, mosques that I go to, there's not enough time to, you know, a tone for my sins. Yeah. I didn't want to bother them with that. Okay. So great to see you, Jay. You do, buddy. There we go. Okay. Feeling great. Feeling, too. Feeling great. I got my shoulder again this time. Man, I feel fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, I really do. How about you stop fighting people? Why would I do that? Well, I don't know. You're getting older and your body is going to, you know, I mean, now you're, now you're age shame in me. That's what we're doing. You know, I know people always ask me, like, why do I still do this stuff? Um, I'd rather that, kill me than I die from not doing it. Like, I gotta do it. I just, it's the, you know, I always talk about I need teams and teams and for here, between my ears, these teams. And I just, man, I love having those teams, whether it's training players or I haven't made guys, my whole guys were getting older now. So we're being a little smarter

36:53with what we do in our heads, but just training players. You know, the guy I really took on this year, full time, if you will, was AJ Barnard, who did a great job, obviously, with Seattle, but you don't find guys like that as much anymore. Like, players are different now than they used to be. When I trained, you know, so many guys in the off season, and you know, let's tell these guys that being famous, ain't the same as being great. And a lot of these guys just come in now because they're so famous, they don't have a need to be great. They don't put that same work in, AJ did, AJ, man, he just, he even came out there in the bottom week for a little tune up, which guys normally don't do. But I just, I love it, dude, if I can help make somebody better, you know, that helps me again here. That's why, give me the current NFL player who you think could be great in UFC. Oh, Miles Garrett. Um, I tried to, the browser like a month, the mouth, put his hands on me. That sucked. That was terrible. And that was awful. Uh, Mercedes Lewis, if he still qualifies here, I've had him for about 17 years.

37:53Mercedes throws kicks and, you know, jujitsu, everything. He's, he's like really a student of it. Um, I always said like, and he's not current, but Kyle Long was a, he's, you know, if I didn't ever wrestle Kyle Long, I would be at least five, seven and a half now. But, I'm trying to think current guys who just feel really violent. Um, yeah, there's not a, oh, Max calls me, um, Max actually legitimately, he legitimately trains. Um, by the way, is he, is, is he's done with the Raiders? I don't think I'm going back, but you know, it's up to the Raiders. Yeah, they're the ones who hold the cards but he could, yeah, I guess he could retire and force their hand. Yeah, he can, but, you know, he loves football. He's, you know, it was interesting when we, and when I talk about, guys, you know, want to be great, you know, trying to be great instead of famous, when he came out to my gym, the train,

38:53uh, it was like, actually, we're, we're starting at 5.45, right? And I'm like, 5.45 in the morning. He's like, yeah, that's what's how I started. I'm like, hey, dude, I'm, we're going to live at 5.45. He's like, well, I started at 5.45. And sure enough, 5.45 every day, he goes on a train and he does, you know, pre-hab and, you know, stretching and mobility and speed and agility and lifts and then we do the MMA part and then after that, he does a little bit more strength and say, and then more hips and then rehab and, you know, all this treatment and stuff and it was every day, man. It was like, 5.45 in the morning until like two or three and that's what you, that's what you look for. All the guys that we're friends with back in the day, that's the only way they got famous to be great, the only way to be great back then is that work the world. Like I tell you guys, the blueprint for greatness, it's not hard. Find who the best is and do more than them. But most people just aren't willing to do it. I haven't asked them, how many of you guys like do this for these? Like, oh, I offered to everybody

39:53but they don't, and that's, like today's athlete, that's not how they're wired, but all the great ones, that's how they're wired, right? And it's, I just never got it. I never understood if that's what you have to do, just put in more work. You don't necessarily have to be more talented. Why don't you? And it's like, if you have a full NFL career, you're retired, 32. Think about that, then, in people years, 32, right? It's young. You can go out there and do whatever you want after that. 34. It's young. I just never got it. Do you think Michael Parsons wants to be famous more than he wants to be great? No, I think it's, but I think that's today's athlete. I definitely think he wants to be great. But yeah, I think, without a doubt, like me have podcasted, you know, with your own teammates, about your team and stuff, during the season, things like that. Look, I was around straight in, who would be like the first of these guys. And, you know, it drove me back in New York City every day, when I was too broke to,

40:53you know, be able to pay for it, subway and bus fare back and forth. And football was always first, first, first, first by a mile. He sent the other stuff in, when it, when he was okay with it, but football was for, he did so much film work, and so much work, and it, like extra work, extra work, extra work, and everybody thought of the other way. It was never the other way. I don't think it's the other way from Mike, either, but just seemed so much bigger, could have all the other stuff he does. All right. Let's run down some of these situations. Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. I don't think he's there yet here. And I haven't talked to him. I saw him on Pat yesterday. I haven't talked for a while. You know, we trained together last all season. So I don't know where his mindset is. I do love what he said about Mike. And he's brought, like Mike is, McCarthy is, man, I told him at the combine, I said, the unit coach,

41:53the Packers, Cowboys, and now the Steelers, your hometown team. And like his parents were right there in front, like the front row. And he's like, I couldn't get past like three words without crying. Like he grew up right around the corner. I said, so you coach these three teams, Mike. I don't know who you were in a previous life, but God has blessed you. I think you're like Jonas Salk. And you're, you're polio. Here's your reward. It's unbelievable. But the fact that, he appreciates Mike this much now, was really good to see. Because Mike is great. You get to remember, people forget. It was so bad on Aaron. When they decided, okay, we're knocking it. And I was, I was right there through all this stuff with that. When Farve kept retiring, retired, retired, retired, retired, retired, retired, retired, and finally at the end, they're like, hey, we're going with Aaron. There was people picketing outside, Lambo, that they didn't want Aaron there. This kid, this youngster. And for him to be able to deal with this and become the guy he became,

42:53that's why Jordan Love also has much stronger mental health than anybody gives him credit for to be able to deal with that to replace Aaron. But man, Aaron, they were picking their fly and helicopters and planes over and look at the year he had that year and the career after that. And that's because Mike really is a, he's great with developing guys like that. What you do with him, what you do with Dak. And whoever is going to be able to develop over there in Pittsburgh. I don't know who that is right now. I know they're like Will Howard, but I don't know if that's their long term. He's not really, he hasn't been around him enough to really know that. But I think if Aaron wants to come back and play another year, I'm sure they're welcome, welcome with open arms. And I know Pittsburgh likes him a lot. They do. What about the organization? What about Kyler Murray? Where does he land? Where should he land? Okay. Well, he and Tuo should say, okay, I want to go and try to learn from the college chat end, Ken O'Connell, Sean McVeigh, Matt LaFlor, one of these guys. And Andy Reed and

43:53Ashaw and Peyton, but I don't see that. Because not a lot of quarterback developers, but you know, it's talking to, you know, a college chat end this year. And, Ken O'Connell kind of had the same thing when he was talking about how you take these guys and re-program the Mac Jones and the World of Daniel Jones. And, you know, remember, a chat ants anime. For these guys, you just got to get them. They're so beat up. You got to get them to play on a parade. And, if you could start doing that, give them a cut. So, it's basically like, I want to play fast, but, at the same time, I want them to play fearless. That's what it's fearless. If you can get them to be fearless again, then they're a God-given talent, which made them a top 10 pick. Starts coming back out, but they're so beat up, they're afraid to go do it. They're afraid to pull the trigger. If you say, that's the number one thing. First, but also, like, LaFlor, what he did with Malik Willis, with his footwork, phenomenal. You know, with a lot of these guys over to do with Ken O'Connell, otherwise, I would go with Lerick, so if I'm Collard, though, yeah, I'd go try and get with

44:53Kevin O'Connell, like, if I'm a player, I'd already be tampering. So, here's the other way around. We're talking to Jake laser NFL and Fox Insider, the market for Tuha. I don't see, you know, there's options out there for people right now, but same thing, I don't know if there's a, I don't think there's a huge market. And, part of that also is, you know, he's a hit away from here, right? So, I think, if you want to bring somebody in, it's got to be almost like, hey, who loves them? I don't, I haven't anybody say yet, to this point. I think somebody will bring them in and take a flyer, but I think Collard will have a much bigger, people go, you know, after Collard, more than they will. What about Atlanta for Tuha? Yeah, but I'm saying, if I'm Atlanta, I'm looking at Collard. Okay. You know, I think Collard is, you know, he, he, he jumps out ahead of Tuha right now. Um,

45:53and look, I, I can't say Atlanta, because I just haven't talked, like, Matt Ronnie and Cunningham has to fancy about Tuha, but also Tuha again, like, let's say everything works out. He's still, you know, hadn't really protected himself much, right? Up here, right? When he, you know, um, with concussion. So, let's say things work out, right? And also, man, he takes a day, and then week seven, then you're back to square one. So, I, I think even if you have Tuha, you've got to have somebody else in place there. What do you make of the, uh, ram's chiefs trade? You don't get too many blockbusters like this in, uh, early March. Yeah, and I would, actually with Sean McVeigh this weekend, he was telling me about it, and he was like, over the moon, like, over the moon about this. And, you know, they traded away a lot for him, but Sean is always a type of guy. And, you know, I'm surprised about Tuha, because he's always a type of guy, like, you know, now, and I think more and more, and I'll say it's, it's surprisingly, I told him this, surprising more people don't do what he does. Because,

46:53you know, you're getting with a trait of cuffie, with these draft picks now, you know, you hear more more complaints about the common mind, people don't go with a common mind, like coaches anymore, so he was like, we don't really know we're getting these guys anymore. You can't really, you know, you're interviews, you can't pry, you get such a short period, and everybody's, you know, programed. Uh, and I'm in full for that, too. for that too. I had a bunch of kids this off season, told them how to deal with the combine and how to just be honest with teams if you had off field troubles and just other things what they're going to ask for and everything your life down is about team-team teams. But because they're so programmed, you don't really know where you're getting anymore and kids don't go through adversity as much anymore, right? You have a problem from the transfer. That's why, by the way, Tennessee went right for Cam War because they told me even before the combine. That's our guy because he'd been through adversity, which we don't find too many guys like that anymore. So I think if you have a proven commodity in the NFL, I would trade my

47:53picks also. I'm surprised more teams don't do it because the Rams are in it every single year and it's a copycat league and nobody really does it. They still have this old school thing. Maybe we got to reload through the draft and I get it because if you hit and you have salary cap relief there for a few years at least. But Sean was, man, he was so over the moon for this. He was well at all and on this. Do we know the timeframe for my homes coming back? Is he expected to start the season? The initial reports were kind of on the frames there, but I want to say Patrick's different. He's different. So he went down. He immediately got the surgery. It's flew himself down. I think he flew private down there. Got the surgery maybe the next day, which was normally they don't do because you want to like the swelling. He got a four really swelled up, right? And so that was on a Tuesday. I believe it was either Thursday or Friday

48:53that week. He was already in the chief's training room doing rehab and he already had gotten his knee bending at 90 degrees at that point, which he's just different. He heals differently. This is a guy who dislocated his kneecap. His leg was turned around during the game and he's like, hey, literally, he asked their trainer Rick Berkold and doctors. Is it broken? No? Okay. And tape it up. Let's go back. We're not tape it up. Your knee is facing that way. And they'll like he's like, no, just tape it. Let's go. And like, you know, he he had a dislocated toe going into a soup hole that fully dislocated and he never took any time. Like he just finished finished out the game. His pain threshold is different. His work ethics different. So while at first they're like, oh, you know, start of the season. I think I would probably had done him being, you know, sooner than that. By far, could he just attack things, man? Like like Aaron with his, you know, his Achilles and Joe Borough was different too. Joe Borough came back

49:59two months early. That's ridiculous from his injury. That was that was ridiculous. That's probably one of that's one of the craziest things I've seen. I have a grade three turf toe. Hey, he's done. Now, come back. You know, as early as he did. And remember, I was in London last time we did the show right at the trade deadline. That day he texted me. He's come back. I'm like, come on, dude, what do you spend your time? Like, I can't do an editable. Is this all season at this time? Dude, we have no way. And he's like, no, I'm come back. I'm come back way sooner than people think. I'm talking like in a couple of weeks. I'm like, dude, there's no way and sure enough. You know, he's just different. And I guess right with Quinn and Williams going to the Cowboys that day, you are on. Yes. Let me tell you this. So it's trick. It's trade deadline. Dan and I are talking about our stem cell journey together. Now, son, I looked out of my phone and I'm texted and he's like, what's going on? Trade, I said, yeah, it's actually a team

51:04asking about Quinn and Williams. And, you know, but they want like a blockbuster for him and ask him about Quinn and Williams. And he literally said, is the Cowboys? And it was the Cowboys. And I kind of looked up. You go back, I kind of looked like, I know. You jolt me a little bit. I'm like, oh my god. They're like, are you, are you, are you, are you, are you put a virus of my phone down? I'm an insider now, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just don't, don't ask OBJ. He called me an outsider. He did? Yeah. I was right about something. And he, I don't think he liked that I was correct about something with him. And he called me an outsider. He's not sensitive like that. I've had a lot, look, I reported that he was getting traded from the giants to another team. And I got mercilessly destroyed by everybody like just and people started going on to Instagram and like fans, listen, I'm an insider. My job is to report information that you don't know. You know it. You're not my job. So my job is to give you information. You don't know.

52:09And we do it. Don't get mad at us. Okay. Or we won't do it. And I put this out there and people started going on to different people who I was training in. I'm breakable celebrities and some of the drug issues. And going on to them saying, I hope you owe deep because you're stupid, you know, a training partner and saying, oh, oh, oh, hell is getting traded. Like it was ridiculous. Wow. And I think some of that for this Max Cross be one of this all season. People tell me a bunch. I don't know. And attacking Rosie and get after my wife from saying some racial stuff and just like, it's ridiculous. I got it for Wink Martindale two years ago saying they began from the Giants. And like, Giants, I've been covered as a team since 93. If I say something instead of attacking me, you may want to go call your FKs or fandom or something. Maybe I don't want to be an insider. I'll stay up. I have a cool stuff out of my butt. But that's my job. It's come out of left field and tell people things they don't know. And people get so upset,

53:12they got upset with the Kevin O'Connell thing a couple years ago that their teams looking to treat for him. There were four teams that were trying to trade it. And then people got upset that I reported it on Sunday. And I'm like, I don't work at Fox. I don't work for Fox until Sunday. It's a rigger to be an insider, man. But you know what? I have to, you know, the whole sticks and stones thing, you know, don't break your bones. But words are like, I'm the opposite. Sticks and stones won't do a thing to me. But what? I'm sensitive.

After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials and there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate and it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself.

55:15But the impact is still huge. If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that. Imagine never having to buy gas again. It's true. It's real. And it's here right now.
