Dan and the Danettes questions why Bill Belichick won't retire from football. And Oregon QB and Heisman Trophy Finalist, Dillon Gabriel talks about his career being in New York for the Heisman ceremony and the difficult path his Ducks face on the road to a CFP National Championship.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio Final Hour.
In this Meet Friday Dan and the Danauts Dan Patrick Show coming up. He is the Heisman finalist with the Oregon Ducks. Dylan Gabriel, their quarterback, will join us. They wait to see who they're going to play. You know what I have the spreads. Let's say or Ohio State plays Oregon in the next round, Ohio State would be getting one and a half. Let's say Texas would play Arizona State. Texas would be favored by eleven and a half. If Clemson played Arizona State, Clemson would be favored by four and a half. If Tennessee gets by Ohio State, Tennessee will be a six and a half point underdog against Oregon, which is close to what they are with Ohio State. Notre Dame has Indiana Notre Dame. If they faced Georgia, Notre Dame would be favored by two. Yes, Indiana would be a six and a half point underdog against Georgia. Penn State Penn State as SMU. If SMU wins, SMU would be favored by five and a half against Boise State. Penn State would be favored by twelve and a half against Boise State. This is the second round of the college football Playoffs. This is the what if scenario in these first round matchups.
Yes, Paul, it goes back to what you said on Monday. If Vegas seated this, he'd be completely different. Yes, SMU is the eleven seed. Boise's a three seed. SMU would be the favorite.
Yes.
Also, some of the first round lines are a little they feel a little bloated because this is the first time there's been home field advantage in any of these games, so that tax on three points.
And I think what college football was going to be looking at is to have these extra games. They're bowl games, but to have these extra games. They want to make that they're selling these games out. Is Penn State SMU going to be a sellout? Is Notre Dame Indiana a sellout probably would be because it's all in Indiana. This is what they're concerned about is fan bases who are going to travel for a couple of games. Making sure that when you do get to that championship or the semi finals, that you're filling up these stadiums.
That's important.
But I do think we will get to twelve teams in the playoffs. The top four teams they will be automatic buys, and then you have everybody else the rankings.
Then after that you'll have your matchups. And I think that.
Would be fun to be able to watch the rankings and then wonder how they got to the point where I would just have Vegas rank the teams at the end of the year. Vegas thinks this team has the best chance. Vegas thinks this team has the worst chance. So they're objective. There's no bias whatsoever. There's no secret committee in there where somebody's going out. I think this should happen and then we never know why. But if Vegas does it, there's no mystery. They're just saying, hey, these are the odds. This is who we think should be the favorite, and on down the line. Good morning, if you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner. It is a Meat Friday, smoked Mississippi pot roast.
Man, it smells good.
You got the garlic, mashed potatoes, roasted green beans with bacon. Who has it better than we do?
No?
All right, As I've mentioned all week long, the calendars, the autograph calendars are sold out. There was five hundred of those that we sign. But we do have some other calendars. We have some beautiful flannels. There's Tailgate Moonshine in there as well. Go to Danpatrick dot com. Sunday Night on NBC in Peacock, it'll be Green Bay and Seattle. Well that's a really big game, really big game. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Spend a lot of time looking at the Rams Niners, the all out from that Deveandre Campbell walking off the field in the second half not wanting to play the Rams. Now eight and six. The Niners are done at six and eight. Maybee. They have a low chance, not no chance, but very very low chance of still a playoff. Hope alive with the Niners. But the Rams are eight and six, not in the playoffs, but boy, if they get in there, I think they knock somebody off. North Carolina dominated the news cycle yesterday introducing Bill Belichick as the new head coach and let me see, is there anything I want to bring to your attention with Oh, Bill was asked the following question about why is he still coaching?
It's seventy two. You why do you want to keep coaching? What's in it for you?
You've proven yourself over and over in your legacy of sale.
Why keep coaching? Well, beat's working? You know, when you love what you do? And my dad told me this, when do you love what you do?
Is not work?
Okay had made that up?
Yeah, gosh, I was one, but it was his dad that Yeah.
Yes, is he hurting from money that beats working? I think he could retire At this point, there was a strange answer to me.
Retirement sucks, Like you don't want to retire. He's got a chance to do this. Somebody's gonna pay him ten million dollars. His son is on the coaching staff. I mean, yes, why not? Somebody actually wants you to coach their team, their program.
That's why you do it.
Yes, Mark, retiring from a job you love sucks, Yes, like I don't want to retire. I mean, I got three more years and then I'll move to the side. Let somebody else who should be doing it, Just like I felt at Sports Center, I had done it too long. Somebody younger should have been in there doing it, plain and simple, and I'll move aside. But I still love I get to go to work. I get to go to a job. I don't have to go to a job. And that's what Bill is saying. He gets to go to that job and reinvigorates. You know, you go through the you know, the mundane of you know, New England with the Patriots probably, and then all of a sudden at the end of your coaching career there and then it's not going well, and then all of a sudden, the Craft family wants more control, and then they kick you to the curb.
Somebody wants you. He's like, yes, yes. It's like a twenty three year old saying, hey, you want to go out. Yes, Tom.
But he didn't say it beats retirement. He said it beats working. Like it was either that job with the accounting position in the cubicle.
Well, he wasn't going to be working. He was going to be retired and he doesn't want to retire. That's I think that's what he's saying. Yes, pullin, yeah, I'll pitch you.
The past year hasn't been awful for him because he got to be on cool shows and make some good money. But there's no competition. Yeah, there's no buzz. There's no juice the past year, he's just talking football without the payoff of Sundays.
Yeah.
Having that that, there's nothing that replicates that you talk to these guys. It's like when Drew Brees joined us on Football Night in America, or he would be in studio and I said, you know, it's sterile.
It's sterile.
The only way it can be interesting is if you go out into the field and you're calling a game.
Then you're you're that close.
You're able to watch, you're able to talk to quarterbacks and coaches, you're more involved in the studio. It is sterile. It is boring. But when you're out at the game. That's why Brady, I think, wanted to call games. He'd be better probably in a studio, but he wanted to be out there where all the action is. And I get it because having talked to guys who have done it, it's just you're so far removed from the game when you're in a studio as opposed to when you're doing the game. You're in the atmosphere, you're in the building, you're talking to the people who are making these plays, making these decisions. Andy and Rhode Island. Hi, Andy, what's on your mind today?
Hey?
Good morning Dan and Dan Ed. I hope you all are doing great.
Dan.
I can already see your voice on the NFL films with Bill Belichick in his life and you know, his legacy, I can already see it. It's gonna be such a great thing. And you know, he's a smart guy, He's not a flouch, and I feel that there's just a little chapter for him. I think, you know, it might be a little overblown that people might look into it so deep that they think, oh, you know, like Belichick, like what is he doing? But it says maybe, you know, for him to be around a younger crowd and understand the game in a different aspect and of sense following that footsteps. I feel that that's.
What he's doing.
Yeah, I once again, I know, I don't think there's any downside to this. For North Carolina, you became relevant. How many schools are irrelevant college football programs that you don't even factor them in. It's not that they're not bad, it's just there's nothing about there's no buzz they have. They have buzz there, They're going to have that there. People are going to tune in to see him win or tune in to see him lose. And he's got his son who's going to be taking over. I mean, Colorado was dormant, and what happened. You got Dion and you became relevant. You got Game Day out there, you got Fox Noon kickoff out there. Everybody wanted to go there. Belichick said yesterday he spoke with Michael Jordan. I mean, okay, here we go. We got something here. I don't know if it leads to a playoff birth, but it it. They're at least in the conversation you at least acknowledge them. And I think that's if you're North Carolina, that's money well spent. And then I don't I don't like the Hey, you got to hire me? And then now I got Belichick's contracts sent to me yesterday. There's a lot of things in there I sent. I sent it over only a portion I sent to the dan Ets. I don't know if this has been made public, and I didn't want to put it out there, but I did get Belichick's contract There's something in there. If the great point average is over two point seven, I think he gets one hundred thousand dollars all right, relax, you're not getting that one.
There's a lot of details in there.
Man, It's like, wow, it's like five pages of just if you do this, you get this, eight wins, you get this, nine wins, you get this, ten wins, A bowl game, playoffs, yes, PAULI.
Yeah, if his players have a two point seven GPA or above fifty grand three point zero and above one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. But that said, if you have players with that high of a GPA, how good can the team be? I want a nice two point two long.
Wait, what you're saying is you can't be smart and good at football.
You can be smart and good. That's smart and great.
Okay, do you imagine you? People say, are you why are you signing that kid? He's got a four point two grade point average. He's got to bring my my grade point average up.
Yeah.
Yes, I think you could be smart and great, but you're definitely not going to class.
There's no way I'm not going to class. I was neither and I didn't go to class. It's like God, class just and it never fails.
My senior year, I go, this is the year I get up in eight o'clock class. I'm going to get up and go to Larry Lane's journalism class. I think I went three times, first Day, mid term.
And final. What a what a loser?
I was.
Yes, If Belichick leads UNC to a playoff appearance, he gets seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The next win in the playoffs is a million. The following win is one point two five million. If he wins the national title, he gets another one point seven million. That's money well spent. Like you said, money well spent.
Yes, yes, you know.
Can he relate? I like, I don't know. He dive players. I mean, look at the guys. What did he do with Julian Edelman? He was a quarterback in the MAC you know, even Brady developing him. Yeah, he just he knows what he's doing. And I'm assuming they're going to have a really good defense. I think it's going to be so much fun because schematically he's able to go.
I can have some fun here.
And I think that's really the important part is it just reinvigorates. And he talked about developing young players yesterday.
If you look at the players we had in the NFL, Tom Brady was a fourth string quarterback his rookie year. He didn't exactly come in as you know, with any playtime at all. You know Gronkowski, he you know, didn't do too much his rookie year. Julian Edelman played quarterback in college, then he was a wide receiver, and then he was a punt returner. So developing players is, you know, something that Michael and I believe strongly in, and we'll support that with the staff, and we'll support that with the program. There's a lot of opportunity and room for growth for all players.
Yes, Mike Lombardi is going to be his GM. There, we'll take a break, we come back. More phone calls on this meet Friday. We'll talk to the Oregon quarterback, Dylan Gabriel after this.

A couple of phone calls waiting for Dylan Gabriel, the Oregon quarterback to connect with us. The Heisman Trophy finalists Jim and Nebraska. Hi Jim, what's on your mind today?
Six foot softly set two thirty. I can die a happy man now.
Dan.
I am a retired educator who spent twenty years teaching middle school kids, and I think I'm uniquely qualified to talk about Friday Fritzi and the dan at Well, okay, he is. He is that kid in class. He's acting up, nothing serious, but just annoying. And I love Fritzy. I gotta preface this, But all the other kids as I'm watching on Peacock, you know, seat and a laugh, polly cringes. But it's Marvin who is just deadpan, shaking his head thinking what everyone else is thinking. Why just why?
Well, thank you, Jim, thank you for that assessment of the dan Ins. Marvin, Are you always thinking why?
There are times why? Yeah? I'm like he said that out loud.
I think that all the time with Fritzy, especially when it's Friday Fritzy. Sometimes you get Friday Fritzy on a Thursday, then you're in trouble. Then you know it's going to be a long show. But hey, I'm very lucky to have him. There's nobody else like him, very unique, very unique. We love Fritzi.
Fritzy.
While you're out of the room, we were saying nice things about you. Yeah, yeah, you missed it. Dylan Gabriel, Oregon quarterback. He He'sman Trophy finalist and joining us. Are you in New York?
I am?
I am.
I'm in a hotel room and excited.
Are you been in New York before?
I have once? Definitely not this type of way.
Okay, what do you want to see? You got to you gotta walk around a little bit.
I'm actually gonna be asking some of the New York natives here to kind of show me around. Of course, Central Park Times Squares right down the street, so check that out.
Last night and then this.
Morning made a little way to the Nike store, so got a little bit of a series.
Okay, Uh, what are your expectations on what will happen on Saturday night at the ceremony?
What it'll be is what it'll be.
I think, you know, whoever wins Man, that's such a big blessing. But just to be here as well, just to connect with those guys, that's gonna be a lot of fun.
And should we get to enjoy New York together, So it'll be a lot of fun.
Okay, But the camera is going to be on you.
So when they call Travis Hunter's name, just you know, just make sure that you're smiling, like, yeah, you know you got invited. You're playing for maybe a national championship that's more important than this. So just so you know, and do we have the outfit already picked out of what we're wearing tomorrow?
We do? We do.
I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna style it up a little bit. I think i'll catch some people by surprise. Not not to type it up too much, but you know, I'll make sure I make a do it to do at least from a fastest standpoint.
Okay, here's the thing. This will be played years from now, So whatever you're wearing, just on understand, ten years from now, they're going to say, oh, remember the Heisman ceremony when Dylan Gabriel.
Wore that in a good way.
Hopefully, Well let's just say, let's just say it's not going to be like the NBA in two thousand and five with those OtherSide.
Seats, so definitely won't all do that one. So I think I feel pretty good.
Okay, when you guys were watching the selection Sunday show and you saw kind of where you guys were going to be I'm not sure if you had the same reaction I had is damn they put some tough teams in front of you. If you guys are going to win a national title, felt like it was a little unfair. Dylan, how did you and your teammates feel?
Told me, out of our control?
I think naturally, it being the first year, there's definitely gonna be some things they'll have to work on. But in terms of, you know, our our team and what we got ahead of us, I think it's going to be a lot of fun, you know, being able to be in the Rose Bowl. Like I said, we can't really control you know, what teams we do play, but you know we're in the playoffs, so there's gonna be a lot of great teams and you look forward to whatever matchup comes your way.
But like I said, I think there.
Will be some conversations down the road and some cleaning up in that sense, but you know, it is what it is, and we're excited either way.
You predate COVID and nil. That's how long you've been in college. Take me back to that freshman year, that quarterback compared to who you are now. Are you saying I'm old you're college old.
I am college old.
No, I'll say this, twenty nineteen was so different from what it is today in college football.
You know, I think the innocence of college football was still there.
The you know, remembering when you know you're living off the coch semester to semester, which honestly was it was decent at the time, but compared to what it is now, you just have a lot of appreciation knowing that I was able to go through kind of both sides of that.
Okay, what was the money like your freshman year? What's the money like? Now?
I can tell you.
Freshman year, I can't tell you now, but freshman year it was like twenty five hundred dollars a semester. Okay, so you're you know, five grand a year, and of course there's money for rent and stuff like that. But and then you go to fast forward and now, I think I'll leave that to everyone else's imagination, but you know, my software year going through COVID, you know that interesting season and then you know, utilizing the portal, which is what I've done in you know, my junior year and even up until this year and then nil, so I've kind of seen it all in that sense and kind of had the fun of pre all this thing happening and then you know, enjoying it post as well.
You don't have any more eligibility after this year, right I don't.
I could probably ask for it and see, but that'll be declined real fast.
And that leather jacket you got on looks like it does, that Nil leather jacket.
It might be fulfill a Nike U a great man, but uh, you know, I'm always rapping the Nike swoosh and you know, just being at Oregon, there's only one way to do it.
But when you go to the Nike plant or night Nike headquarters, can you just walk in and just say I got a shopping cart and pick up stuff?
Well, this morning we did walk in at Nike in New York. So, like I said, I'll leave that to your imagination. But they take care of them. Oregon will win the national title if prepare the right way and take care of business. You know, we got to be present too. I think coach Lanning said it the best, and that's why I love playing for him, is you know it is winner, go home, and you got to take care of business right where your feet are, you know, in the present moment. I think it's so easy for a lot of teams to look forward, you know, and and not only to the first game, but the semi finals, the national championship.
It's like, hey, you got to take care of business. Right where your feed are? You know? We got the Rose Bowl here January one.
And I think if we stay president, we prepare the right way, then the rest will.
Take care of himself.
Congrats on the season, have fun on Saturday. Hair looks good, hair looks good. Yeah, I mean I got one question for you. Okay, how was the Happy Gilmore Too filming? I heard it was.
Yep.
I shot that last Thursday and it was it was fun. It's a you know, Sandler's put me in a lot of his movies. So yeah, and this has got an interesting plot twist that I didn't think that you would have with Happy Gilmore Too. Just saying it'll it'll be a big blockbuster. But but it's fun. It's you know, whenever you're around Sandler, it's always a good time.
Well, if you ever need action, oh in a movie, I'm I'm working on my acting skills, so I would I would love to if you needed one. You know my my acting skills are subparb A average, But uh I think maybe I could get some coaching from you and may we can make an act.
Are you acting now.
In this moment? Yeah no, but if you need me to.
Cause I'm I'm acting. Now, how about this? I want you to act. Okay, here you go. I want you to act happy for Travis Hunter tomorrow night. I want you to act. So when I say I'm Chris Fowler and I'm up there, and I say, and the twenty twenty four Heisman Trophy winner, Colorado's Travis Hunter.
What if asking when When's it? Then I gotta act?
You got to act there too?
I got you.
Wait, you missed your queue to act. The camera was on you.
Oh damn. But I don't know if you look happy for him? Okay, you can't vote for yourself. Who would you vote for for the Heisman Trophy.
I'm gonna get some heat for this one, but I'm gonna say Aston genty And I say that because me being at the group of five months knowing you know the challenges that come with that. Of course, I played against Aston this year. I think he's a talented individual. You know, his story is unique and what he's been able to do is is pretty impressive. And you put me in a spot. So I think this may be a quoted but no, I do think you know, he's extremely worthy of it and a guy who's well.
You don't have to worry about facing Travis Hunter though, So like if you said, oh, I wouldn't have voted for him, I'd vote for you know, Genty And then you have to play Colorado, and then Travis Hunter is going to say I'm going to pick off a couple of your passes.
So you don't have to worry about that until you get to the NFL.
I know, maybe then we'll maybe see each other. Then. Yeah, you gotta watch your words now that you don't know who you'll play.
Well, yeah, I know, I know.
All right, Well, you know what act like a Heisman finalist when you have your first game whoever that's going to be against.
So that's either Tennessee or or Ohio State.
I like that. Yeah, Hey, we'll see, we'll see what happens.
Congrats, have fun in New York.
All right, that's thank you.
That's a Dylan Gabriel Oregon quarterback Heisman finalists Yeah, wants to get into the movies.
Yeah, get in line. I got to help him a little bit there. He had a pong.
He is one of the last college athletes that predates nil. When you brought it up, I was like, is that correct? But yeah, twenty nineteen, he's played sixty three college football games.
They will fay Oregon. Oregon has Ohio State or Tennessee in the quarterfinal game, that'll be the rose Ball on New Year's Day.
They quietly went undefeated.
When you think about all the topics we've talked about with college football this year, Oregon is not number one on that list. Of all the Oregon it was like Ryan Day losing to Michigan, Travis Hunter with what he's gonna do and win the Heisman, trop Ashton genty, Is he gonna, you know, match Barry Sanders Alabama not making the playoffs, like all of these things. Then it's all by the way Oregon and they the selection committee did not do them any favors with who they were going to have to go through to win the national title.
Guest Martin the Speels.
Like last season at Winnen's College Basketball where we talked about Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. A lot of the season, South Carolina was the best team and we couldn't name anybody over them.
Marvin brought that up the other day.
It's like everybody's talking about out Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, and all of a sudden, it's South Carolina number one team in the country and nobody can name any player on their team. It's just like Don Staley's like, you, guys, yeah, go ahead, give them awards, give them all the attention, all of that. We'll win a national championship over here. Uh Nate in Colorado? Hi, Nate, what's on your mind today?
Mony? Gentlemen, hey man, you brought it up a couple times a day. And it's even in the open about how prepared Bill Belichick is and he doesn't go to any situation that he's not. I mean, the man made a four hundred page essays yeah to get this job. Everybody keeps bringing up that you're only as good as your quarterback, and nobody knows whose quarterback's.
Going to be.
I firmly believe that he knows whose quarterback is going to be. And I firmly believe that arks Man will announce that he is transferred to North Carolina as soon as Texas is eliminated, will win for Maatis.
All right, well, Nate, if that happens, I will give you credit. We'll have you back on and ask you about your great prediction. There is it four hundred piece document? Is that Belichick? Well, Belichick was asked about did he actually prepare you know, basically his thesis on North Carolina football?
Just curious.
There were reports that you had prepared a document or organizational bible?
Are those were those accurate? Oserve A follow up with the answer is yeah.
I mean, I don't believe everything you read in the papers.
All right, I have no idea where that came from. I don't have a four hundred page document.
I mean.
To think I was just gone handed. I think come on, okay, Bill cracking him up.
Man.
That's funny too, because we just had somebody on yesterday who was like, well, when he shows up with a four hundred ring binder, that's a you gotta know you're in trouble.
So it's not even true.
Who came up with this. Let's get the it team.
Okay, here's another one. I asked the IT team to be on this. I don't know if I'm allowed to say the red z O n E anymore. Now they're saying what the red area? Tom Brady said that the other day, like and then they got into the red area and I'm like, it's called the red zone.
Tim Tebow just said it the other day too. He's like, well, you know when they're down there in the red area, like red area?
What the hell did somebody trademark this?
Now?
And I can't say it's like super Bowl, you got to call it the big Game.
And now.
For an investigation.
The motto of our news team is we don't break news, we sprain it. Let's go to the news room poet.
So the term red zone for the end zone area has been used for years and years. It's been used by TV networks. It's been a show on NFL network. Now lately the past four or five years, red area is catching on. I go back to twenty eighteen. I can find that Nick Saban started using the phrase red area in press conferences and it caught on down South. So that may be the origin of red area.
Well, I was thinking maybe he would say the Crimson area instead of the red area.
I can find no legal preventation of using red zone though.
Okay, back to you, but why is Tom Brady call it the red area? Are we allowed to call it the red zone? Or is that the new thing, Like there's a new terminology. It's like you got to call it the red area, but the red zone is still called the red zone. Scott Hansen's not going to go well, welcome to the red area.
Todd.
Did you reach out to the NFL?
I was going to, but I was hesitant because I've no we told you to. I know, but there have been so many times where I was just kind of poking the bear where they thought I was trying to start something up. I just felt like, you know, I don't know.
Where my relationship is. It's not like the commissioner is not going to come on her show, Todd the.
Ballop so you can get.
Yeah, I did find out.
I went to the US government website and found out that phrase or had been trademarked. NFL red zone was trademarked in August of two thousand and nine. The phrase red zone trademarked. It appears by the NFL, but it's been being used by everybody for the past ten years.
I don't want to get in trouble trademark. I don't want to cease and desist the Red region.
That flows better.
Let's you're Dan Patrick.
No, I don't know if I want to call it the Red region, the Red region. Yes, come here, I want to show you my Red region.
Right, yeah, doctor A look at this.
It's also a place where we could score touchdowns or a place where we can no longer score.
The Red Region.

Well, I might as well start with this if which is worse cheating or quitting? Right now, sixty three percent of the audience have quitting. And if you're Brock Purty, do you want every dime you can get or cap space? Sixty five percent of that audience say every dime you can get?
All right, all right, I thought it might be fit fitty fitty, but.
I understand it. You don't want to tell somebody else about their money or that what they go for. But I'm just saying, you know, as Ron rivera former NFL coach, said he wouldn't pay Rock Party the full vote there, that he's really good when he has all the pieces in place around him and he's a game manager, which he is, but he can be really good at that high level at that I just don't want to be paying sixty million dollars for Brock Purty. Because if you say this, if I if I take away all the talent around the Bengals, and I say that you have Joe Burrow, what do you say we got a chance, right?
I mean yeah?
If I said take everybody away from the Chiefs and you got Patrick Mahomes, you're in, right, Josh Allen in Buffalo, you're in Lamar Jackson, Baltimore, you're in. If I said Jared goffin Detroit, in Ish maybe not in Rock Purty, not in If you're just starting with Brock Perdy, you're not in ye pulling.
It's weird though, because Purty feels like he's good plus, not good minus. Remember Mitch Trubisky with the Bears. For the Bears, he was a pretty good qu quarterback for the Bears, but they didn't resign him because he didn't feel like the real deal full boat party leans higher than that, clearly higher than that. And there's, like you said, there's no middle ground.
Yes, it's not very nice that comparison Toy and Mitch Trubisky.
I gotta say, yeah, that's just not that's where he's not necessarily. That's where you draw the line. Yeah, I mean the kids give him a chance.
I mean, well, he went from the last pick in the draft to maybe making forty five million dollars.
That's gotta be tough.
Though.
If you're like, like, you know, if you guys don't give me more than that, I'm gonna go test the waters, like go ahead.
I don't know.
It feels like go ahead. It feels like somebody would go, yeah, we'll pay you that kind of money.
Really, I don't know.
There's always whenever you say, well, you know, nobody's gonna you know, sign that guy, hire that guy with it, and then there's always that team that goes, you know, we see something in him. I'm in his.
Shoes and it's like, well, I want forty five, and they're like, how about thirty seven. I'm like, well, I guess I'll take thirty seven million a year, but I'm not going to be happy about it, Like.
What, Yeah, I was looking for a one Soto deal.
Yeah, thirty five that's it. Well, I guess I will. Would they give him a sweet? Like the Yankees wouldn't give him a sweet? And that was one of the reasons why he's going to the Mets.
Is that it?
I don't know.
Plenty of open sweets at a city field.
Yeah, yeah, do you want oh you only want one?
Yeah?
I do love that.
Like, so, have you talked to any of the Yankees players? I talk to none of those guys?
Yeah?
I think they were asking if he talked to Aaron Judge. He's like, uh no, it's like that any of those guys. Why would I know? Did you see the way those guys played in the postseason?
No?
I had to get away from them.
Remember the fifth.
Inning the Ravens mab, I should drop a line to Aaron?
Oh? Oh whoa whoa drop a line?
Yeah?
I got it.
Sold one to talk to you. Michael Kay is not happy with you. The Ravens are sixteen and a half point favorites against the Giants. Is that the biggest spread this year? I mean, it's kind of late in the show to be asking that question. Sixteen and a half. Can you think of somebody else with the who was favored by more.
Paulie?
I think that's right. I can't find any spreads over thirteen and a half this season.
Dang minus sixteen and a half. This day in sports history.
What do you have for me?
He's got a couple. Let's see.
The rights to the first four Super Bowls were sold in nineteen sixty six to CBS and NBC for a total of nine point five million dollars. Nineteen fifty six, Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers was traded to the Giants for a pitcher, and he retired instead of going to the Giants.
And that's it.
That's good.
The Mitchell Report came out on this day in two thousand and seven. That's when they had eighty nine baseball players who presumably used steroids in HGH. Charles Woodson on this date when the Heisman Trophy, the first predominantly defensive player to win the Heisman. And of course I love bringing this up because I remember I was really excited about it. Nineteen eighty three, the highest scoring game in NBA history. Pistons beat the Nuggets, won eighty six to one, eighty four in three overtimes, and key Ki Vanderway led everybody with fifty one points. Luke in Texas, Hi, Luke.
Hey, Dan, Hey Dan eds Hey, look hey Dan.
This thing with the red zone, Yeah, this started back I think a little bit further than the nick stabing thing. I can't remember how long back it started, but this came from Teddy Bruski. At one point he just became adamant about not saying the word red zone and don't I don't remember why, but he hates the term and he will not use it. And he never really, to my knowledge, explained why. He made some comment about he he hates the fact that we use, we overuse the word zone, and so he will not use the word red zone.
Okay, I hope he's not a basketball coach for maybe his kids, because they're not going to play zone and be like, go out there, you don't guard anybody. You just kind of stand in areas. Wait, that's called a zone. Shit, No, we don't save zone. We don't use that, yes, Paul.
According to The Washington Post, Joe Gibbs, the former Redskins coach, first used the term red zone in the media.
Todd, would you learn today?
It would be very hard to believe if you told us in August the Niner would miss the plaffs and Bill Belichick would be the North Carolina head coach.
Satan, what did you learn?
Ron Rivers's bruck Perty's a game manager.
Marvin Bill Belichick did not have a four hundred page manifesto.
Paul Dylan Gabriel funny Kid.
