1:01

Believe it or not, it's time for NFL fans

1:03

and fantasy players to start studying the injury

1:06

report closely because the

1:08

season arrives in two days and

1:10

now you have the injury slash COVID

1:12

list. Because players are going into protocols,

1:15

they could miss a substantial

1:17

time this season. And we learned over

1:19

the weekend the Cowboys star offensive lineman

1:21

Zack Martin went on the COVID list, and

1:24

more than likely we'll miss Thursday's

1:26

season opener against the Buccaneers.

1:28

You want to be at full strength facing Tampa,

1:31

that defensive front, that entire defense.

1:33

Just ask Patrick Mahomes in the Chief Chiefs.

1:36

But you know, the bigger issue is how the COVID

1:38

rules are going to play out from week to week. And there's

1:40

a good chance a starting quarterback

1:42

we'll have to sit out a game at some point,

1:45

even with the extra game this year, the season

1:48

is short. Each game means so much. Teams

1:50

can't afford to lose players, even for

1:52

a week. And they say the NFL season

1:55

as a war of attrition. That battle could be a

1:57

lot more complicated this year as teams try

2:00

to deal with a new set of rules keeping

2:02

their players on the field. Adam

2:04

Schefter said that Jack Martin will not play

2:07

Thursday. Mike Florio. Pro Football Talk

2:09

said, there's an outside chance that Zack Martin

2:11

will play against the Tampa Bay

2:13

Buccaneers. We'll settle

2:16

on a poll question for our two mcleven and we're

2:18

going to use the same one we had in our one.

2:20

Well, our one was who had the worst loss

2:22

of the week at LSU ran away with that one.

2:25

I do want to I have a Cowboys poll, but

2:27

I can save it for after Jalen hurts

2:30

because I know they you know, no, you can,

2:32

you can give it to us. Okay, yeah,

2:34

Zach Martin out. Are the Cowboys trending up

2:36

right now or trending down right

2:38

now? Well, they're always

2:41

trending because of the Cowboys, right,

2:43

I don't know if they trend They

2:45

trend even when they're not good. I

2:48

feel like they were trending up. He's Hard Knocks was a

2:50

relative success. It was just fine, Dak's

2:52

gonna play. Do you know what would help

2:54

them trending up is winning? But

2:56

they get more publicity than all the teams

2:59

combined. It feels like Waiting's irrelevant.

3:01

We're still going to talk about them. We will,

3:03

and their value continues to skyrocket.

3:05

But you know, there's a lot of questions

3:07

there. You know, if Zack

3:10

Martin doesn't play, that defense is really good.

3:13

Zeke Elliott, he always looks like he's in

3:15

the best shape of his life. Every training cap

3:18

you got the Dak Prescott questions

3:20

and now how much are you asking

3:22

of him? He was a great story when

3:24

he wasn't making forty million dollars.

3:27

Now, when you start to make that kind of money, that's

3:29

when we go, okay, let's put up

3:31

the numbers here. Now you become a

3:33

pass first team because it used

3:35

to be when when Dak first started out, the

3:39

teams were trying to put the Cowboys into

3:41

those you know, third and long that they

3:43

wanted to put Dak into an obvious passing

3:45

situation. Now it feels like

3:47

they're going to be a little bit more proactive with

3:50

passing first down or second

3:52

down, not necessarily waiting to third down.

3:54

And you do have the weapons there, you got wide

3:56

receivers. But you

3:59

know, the Cowboys are always on a trend. Yeah, poem,

4:01

they were owing four in the preseason in a preseason

4:03

with only three weeks of games. I don't even know how they

4:05

did that. I was rowing four in the preseason.

4:07

Yeah, they lost the Hall of Fame game. Yeah,

4:09

yeah, that's what it was. Peter King

4:11

has his Super Bowl pick. Uh,

4:15

don't know if anybody's looked at it. Mclovin

4:17

famously always tries to cheat and

4:19

find out something. Do you know Peter

4:21

King's Super Bowl pick? Okay, he gave us a clue in his last

4:24

interview here, all right, PAULI, did you

4:26

happen to look? I did, okay, Fritzie,

4:28

I did not look. Okay, So, in other words,

4:30

nobody read Peter King's colin.

4:34

Is that what you're saying? This

4:37

was? This was a trick this.

4:42

Yeah, well, wait till you tell Peter

4:45

King Fritzie when you book him next time.

4:47

But you have no idea what the topics are whatever? Okay,

4:50

who wants to guess? Um? Do

4:53

you guys want to hint? No?

4:56

Hint? No hint? Okay, not yet, okay, not yet?

4:59

Okay, Todd, all right, I have Aaron

5:01

Rodgers being on a mission after all the offseason

5:03

stuff, will represent the NFC in the Super

5:05

Bowl and the Wagons will be successfully

5:07

circled in Buffalo. Bill's mafia

5:10

finally gets their Lombardi Trophy Packards

5:12

Bills. Okay, the Bill's winning what's

5:14

wrong, Paulie. I have written down Packers

5:16

over Bills. You do now after

5:19

Todd Bills exactly?

5:21

Okay, all right, So that's two with

5:23

the Bills and the Packers in the Super Bowl. Nick

5:25

Lovin, he said on the show that he was seriously

5:28

considering doing a repeat of last

5:30

year's Super Bowl, even though it doesn't happened in decades.

5:32

So I'm gonna go with them Bucks

5:35

and the Chiefs. Nope, Gutsy

5:38

called by you, by the way, But now he said

5:40

it. I thought that he was gonna go with it. I

5:42

thought he said that he didn't want to do that. No,

5:44

he said he was tempted. He said I won't

5:46

do it. He said this, which I thought, men, he will do it.

5:49

Okay, Seaton O'Connor, I'm

5:51

going with the Rams over the Ravens Rams

5:54

Ravens. Okay. Uh.

5:58

Nobody has the exact matchup, but

6:00

you have mentioned the two teams

6:03

that will meet in the Super Bowl. Yes,

6:07

I'll bet I'm right on the NFC. I'll bet he

6:09

has the box. What

6:12

are you willing to bet? Nothing? Now?

6:19

Yeah, See, it's

6:21

not the Buccaneers the Bills,

6:24

it is the Bill. There's a lot of hype on the Bills.

6:26

Yes, Rams Bills, Rams

6:29

Bills, with the Rams

6:31

beating the Bills, and then you would

6:33

have back to back Super Bowls hosted

6:36

by the team in that city winning,

6:38

just like Tampa Bay too. That's

6:41

what Peter King has. Yes,

6:43

mcclub. Has there ever been a Super

6:45

Bowl with two teams with shorter names

6:47

than Rams Bills? I don't think so. Well,

6:50

why don't you? Why don't you try to look that up?

6:52

While I bring in Jalen Hurts, the Eagles

6:55

quarterback joining us on the program.

6:58

Now you were you were at Altabama, started

7:00

your career there, then you transferred Oklahoma. If

7:03

if both of those teams are playing game

7:06

on Saturday, which game are

7:08

you watching? I'm

7:12

flipping back and forth. You

7:14

know, Lucky, this is the week Alabama.

7:17

I think Oklahoma played before Alabama played,

7:19

so I was able to watch

7:21

Oklahoma and then ABC

7:25

Alabama came on next, so I got the best

7:27

of both worlds. What if Alabama

7:29

played Oklahoma and both head coaches

7:31

called you and wanted to have your

7:34

thoughts on it? Who would you call back first?

7:38

Probably I can't put them on three away.

7:40

I can't do that, but

7:44

I definitely I definitely. I definitely

7:46

talked to them both. And I'm the beautiful

7:48

thing about both of those schools is I have

7:50

so much left for both of them.

7:52

I've made great memories at both universities,

7:56

have a lot of respect for both coaches and what they

7:58

do and what they stand for. Um,

8:01

I guess I got the best of both worlds. Now

8:05

do you know about We had Josh Jacobson

8:08

and uh he said, all right, you gotta

8:10

tell me a story about Saban And he

8:12

said, Saban's funny in practice, he

8:15

said, but he likes

8:17

to use the expression d's

8:19

nuts. Did

8:24

Coach Saban ever use the expression

8:26

d's nuts for you? Uh?

8:31

Manh coach Saban.

8:34

Coach Saban has his well doing things.

8:37

Um, he's definitely a character.

8:39

He's definitely funny. Is that a yes? Jaleny?

8:44

He may use that, he may use something

8:46

else. Um, he

8:48

has jokes though, So it's

8:51

funny. It's funny that you you bring that up

8:53

because I don't know that it's

8:55

just funny and truth.

8:58

That's a that's a run them funny thing.

9:00

I feel like, what

9:03

was it like though, when you decided to leave?

9:06

What was that feeling like? You

9:08

know, when I left Alabama. UM,

9:10

I wanted to leave the right way

9:13

you No, No, I wanted to get my degree.

9:15

I wanted to graduate. I felt that was very important

9:17

for me. UM and I got that. And

9:20

honestly, Coach Sabing, Um we

9:22

talked, and he wasn't the reason why I made

9:24

the decision I made, but the

9:27

fact that he was honest, UM,

9:29

and and and gave me a

9:31

help of hand with the process

9:33

and stuff like that. Um he wanted

9:36

he wanted to see me succeed and signed and

9:38

UM he wanted me to encourage me to go to the

9:41

school with the best players. UM.

9:44

You know that I was Oklahoma and considering

9:46

what they had done with quarterbacks before

9:49

me, Baker and Kylin, UM

9:52

and I worked out the way it was supposed to. What

9:54

did those two say to you when you reach out

9:57

to Baker and Kylin? They

10:00

just told me, you know, trust coach, trust

10:03

this process. We have your Oklahoma, and

10:05

come in and be yourself. You know. They

10:08

told me, you know, you won a lot of games.

10:10

You've had a lot of success already. UM,

10:13

and you have championships, so

10:16

just be yourself and everything a fill into

10:18

place. Whence you last time, you felt

10:20

totally secure in your job

10:22

as a quarterback. I'm

10:25

always I always feel secure, Um,

10:27

every every day Renny's due. I've

10:29

always said that you have to, you know, take

10:32

those steps every day. But that's

10:35

a that's a self imposed thing. Well,

10:39

what was your reaction when the Eagles traded

10:41

for Gardner? Minshew a

10:44

great addition to the room. Um.

10:47

I mean, that's a decision they made and we

10:49

talked about it. So there's a great addition

10:51

to the room. But you don't you don't

10:53

feel it's another

10:55

player I can lean on um with Joe

10:58

UM and learn from I. No Gardener has

11:00

some experience playing as Joe

11:03

does, and UM, it's all

11:05

helpful for me. Have you exchanged jerseys

11:07

with anybody in the NFL? In

11:09

the NFL, I

11:12

have with a few of my old teammates, a few

11:14

friends. What

11:16

about rivals or the opposing

11:19

quarterbacks? You've done that yet? Not

11:21

just yet? Not just yet? You know last year

11:24

they made a big deal about it with the UM

11:27

with the COVID virus and everything,

11:29

so they had limitations on it. Tell

11:33

us what you're doing with the FedEx

11:35

Aaron Ground NFL Awards this year. Yes,

11:39

I've been working with them, Um, they're actually

11:41

launching a campaign to encourage

11:43

fans to vote weekly for at

11:45

FedEx Aaron Ground Player of the Week,

11:48

and FedEx has been doing this for the past

11:51

nineteen years. It's a great thing. I

11:54

say that because they're they're donating

11:56

by four thousand dollars every week to HBCUs

11:58

across the country. Um to, you

12:01

know, let them fulfill their needs. I'm

12:03

as a school, it's

12:06

just a great it's just a great thing. I'm happy

12:08

to be a part of it. You

12:10

got your communications degree or is that?

12:13

Did you? Minor in communications at Alabama?

12:15

Minor in communications, major

12:18

in public relations? All right, So what do you want

12:20

to do when you grow up? I

12:23

want to play football, but I think if

12:25

I go back, well it won't last

12:27

forever, obviously, But talk

12:30

about maybe coaching or

12:33

being in the operations role or

12:35

whatever it is, somewhere

12:37

I can lead impact the people

12:39

around. Could you see yourself

12:41

playing when you're forty five? Like Tom Brady?

12:46

I mean, I don't know. I

12:50

don't know what I'm eating tomorrow. I

12:53

eat at the end of the night. Brady

12:56

is twenty years

12:58

twenty one years older than you. Yeah,

13:01

sounds about right, that's crazy.

13:04

Yeah, it is crazy.

13:07

He's got a great career, and

13:10

good luck this season and great to talk

13:12

to you. Thanks again for joining us.

13:14

Thank you, sir, nice to meet you. That's

13:16

Jalen Hurts. I think I got him with the D's

13:18

nuts. These nuts is always

13:21

that's the go too with the Alabama guys because

13:23

they're so you know, worried about saying

13:25

something about Coach Saban. But when Josh

13:27

Jacobs, the running back for the Raiders, told

13:30

us that story or he validated that

13:32

story, when sources close to me told me that

13:34

Saban likes to say that to his players

13:37

for some reason, that that's the funny

13:39

line, the d nuts, And then of course

13:42

me being the journalists, that I am

13:44

asking Coach Saban about D's

13:46

nuts. And then he did confirm that of

13:49

all the questions I've asked on this show, of

13:51

all the interviews that I've done, thousands

13:53

of interviews, did you ever

13:56

think that I would be asking Nick

13:58

Saban about using that the

14:00

expression des now and he wouldn't hang up and he would

14:02

actually return to the show months later. Yeah.

14:06

How many players? So

14:09

Tom Brady has is going into his twenty

14:11

second season, he's

14:14

uh forty four? How

14:16

many quarterbacks are

14:19

younger than Tom

14:22

Brady as far as the number

14:24

of years. So let's

14:27

see these

14:29

areas he's older

14:32

than some coaches here Sean

14:34

McVay, Zach Taylor, Brandon

14:36

Staley, Arthur Smith, Kevin

14:39

Stefanski, Joe Judge, Nick Siriani,

14:41

Brian Flores, Kyle Shanahan, Matt Lafleur,

14:44

Cliff Kingsbury, Robert Salah,

14:46

and Matt Nagy. Wow.

14:50

Players that are younger than Brady's

14:52

entire career. These

14:54

are players born after Brady

14:57

started his career. Trey Lance, Kyle

14:59

Pitts, Penney Sewell, and six

15:01

more rookies. You

15:04

know, Jalen Hurst is twenty three. Brady

15:08

is going into his twenty second year. Yeah,

15:11

pull in a couple of years, will be some NFL

15:13

rookie. Go And you say I grew up watching Tom Brady

15:15

as a buccaneer, not as a patriot

15:17

as a buccaneer. Excuse

I'm good, Dan. How are you doing? I'm doing okay.

16:36

Do you bet on college football? Yes?

16:40

Do you bet well on college football?

16:43

I don't bet well on anything. No, I'm

16:45

awful, but I still do it. Do you what's

16:47

your your worst beat, your

16:49

bad beat? Oh,

16:52

I've gotten some bad be Probably the worst beat I

16:54

ever got was it was an NBA

16:56

game, and you know how at

16:58

the end of NBA game, like at the end when you were

17:00

getting really beat down, you know, you drive

17:03

the ball out and nobody scores. Well,

17:05

it was I had. I had the under and it was one

17:07

point under and some rookie was in the game for

17:09

the Knicks, and a rookie was in the game, and

17:12

here was twelve seconds left their dow twenty

17:14

and he grabs the rebound and races down

17:16

the court and lays it up to

17:19

go over. And it was the worst

17:22

It was the worth beat I read. We always talk about

17:24

the bad beats, but do you have

17:26

because we do get those wins where you're like

17:28

an oh, by the way, and somebody kicks a field

17:30

goal or whatever it might be.

17:34

Because I had a bad beat. I don't remember

17:36

the ones that I actually did well on, but

17:39

there was one where Chester Markle

17:42

was the field goal kicker for the Packers.

17:44

All he has to do is kick a field goal against

17:47

the Bears, and I cover the

17:49

Bears, block the field goal, it

17:52

goes back to Chester Markle and

17:54

he runs it in for a touchdown, and

17:56

I and I lose on

17:59

that. That's a bad beat,

18:01

right, that is a bad beat. That's

18:04

one of the reasons why, among the many

18:06

reasons I don't I don't gamble anymore.

18:08

I can't do it. Sense didn't work for me.

18:11

I still I still do it, and I still, you

18:13

know, I just I feel like, I guess I gotta give some money,

18:15

some money because I just love to do it. But do you ever

18:17

bet against your your favorite team? The Dolphins?

18:20

Never? I've never been against the Dolphins or the

18:22

Gamecocks in my life. And I don't bet on a lead

18:24

though. Oh okay, I was gonna say,

18:26

should you bet against them? If if

18:30

if I gave you a guarantee

18:33

you were gonna win a bet against

18:36

your South Carolina game Cocks or

18:38

Miami, But everybody was gonna find out that

18:40

you bet against that team. Which

18:42

which team would you bet against? South

18:45

Carolina or Miami? Oh? Good

18:47

question. If I had to bet against one,

18:52

I probably bet against the Gamecocks. Yeah,

18:54

you know, probably just because we

18:57

don't cover a lot. How

19:01

would how would you describe your setup

19:04

at South Carolina home games. Oh,

19:07

I have my tail getting set up in a second

19:10

and nine, I have a great I got my little

19:12

fenced in area with my Coca boose and

19:14

and you know, our artificial grass and my

19:17

setup is the best set up in Fortailgating

19:20

in South Carolina. For sure. I didn't want to go into

19:22

the game. I wanted to stay. I wanted

19:24

to stay in the train car. Yeah,

19:26

we had a glass Yeah, that's that's what the party is.

19:29

Yeah, and

19:31

the train car is big enough to entertain. And then

19:33

there's an outdoor area there as well. I mean, you

19:36

know part.

19:38

I mean, I'm letting the Danets know they're not going to be invited.

19:41

But if they ever win, I like, I

19:43

could send you pictures next time,

19:46

pictures to them and they'll be okay. Yeah. Uh,

19:49

when's the first time you noticed the Dolphins?

19:52

Like what happened? Where you went? That's my

19:54

team now. I was five years

19:56

old and the Dolphins were playing the Cowboys

19:58

in the Super Bowl and my family, all

20:00

my whole family was over to watch the game. And

20:03

I remember being five years old and going around and asking

20:05

and everybody who they were rooting for, and

20:08

everybody who was rooting for the Cowboys, I mean everybody,

20:11

and so I decided that day that uh I

20:13

was gonna root for the Dolphins, and

20:15

I did in the Super Bowl and they lost. I remember, you

20:18

know, being a little kid, probably shouldn't have still been awake,

20:20

but they lost. I cried. And

20:22

then the next year I started playing pop more to football,

20:24

and you know, the Dolphins went undefeated,

20:27

so it's really easy'll be I'll be a fan

20:29

and I've been a fan ever since. That was fine, But

20:32

do they still make you crying? No?

20:35

After that one and fifteen season, I

20:37

stopped crying. That

20:41

was it. No more crying after that season. Are you

20:43

all in on tour? Yes?

20:52

But if you could get to Shawn Watson. I

20:55

liked the Sean Um.

20:58

We don't know what we're gonna get with the Jean, you

21:00

know, but I think he's a great player. But uh, I'm

21:02

with whatever floors, whatever floors wants to

21:04

do. Are you singing the national

21:07

anthem anytime soon? Yea? At

21:09

the home opener? I am also

21:11

wait, you're gonna be in New York on Saturday?

21:15

And then you're oh, when did the Dolphins

21:17

open up? All? They're

21:20

on the world this week? Yeah,

21:22

the next weekend. How much do you rehearse

21:25

a national anthem? Not

21:27

at all. I don't rehearse it. But I tell you one thing

21:29

I do when I when I when

21:31

I'm about to do it, before I go on, I'm

21:33

making sure I'm in the right key. I'm like the whole

21:35

time I'm going, oh say, because if you

21:37

start that thing too high, you have a car Lewis

21:40

moment. That

21:42

would not be very good. I don't want

21:44

to call Lewis moment. Have you had one of those

21:46

moments? Uh? No,

21:49

because I always started low enough. I

21:51

started low enough, so I really haven't had one

21:53

of those moments. So I mean, that's still

21:55

much one of my favorite things I've ever seen on television.

21:57

So no, I don't want one of those moments. What do you hear

21:59

that when you're doing the anthem?

22:03

Just me singing? Really,

22:05

you know, That's all I wanted. I just hearing me sing

22:07

and try not to miss the notes and really

22:10

try not to get the words. But but you don't

22:12

hear that that echo though in the

22:14

stadium you do. But

22:16

like spediums now't have a monitor. Most

22:19

stadiums now, I'll have a monitor like I did it in Jankie

22:21

Stadium years ago. David Wells had become

22:23

out doing Yankee Stadium and they didn't have a monitor.

22:25

And I usually do the anthem and probably

22:28

about a minute sixteen and that day

22:30

I did it in like three minutes because I had to keep waiting

22:32

for the echo. It

22:39

was awful. It was awful. The best

22:41

anthem ever was done by who? The

22:44

worst one ever? The best? The best

22:46

ever probably

22:48

I think at the time between Kate Smith

22:51

and I know the Marvin Gaye

22:53

one, Marvin Gaye and Whitney Houston two

22:55

best ever because Whitney

22:57

did it at the Super Bowl in Tampa, right and

23:00

Marvin Dad at the NBA All Star Game, and

23:02

they were both build my two favorites. I

23:04

remember watching the Marvin gay

23:06

one, but I was there when when Whitney

23:09

Houston did that one in Tampa and and

23:11

that was spectacular. It's

23:13

the greatest, the greatest rendition I've ever heard

23:15

of it. It was amazing. You're

23:18

doing the nine to eleven show

23:20

that's going to be in New York City? Uh

23:23

this weekend coming up? Yes? I

23:25

am okay, yeah, went in the

23:27

guys. What's happening with the nine

23:29

to eleven. Uh, this is a

23:31

peer seventeen this weekend, the

23:33

anniversary of nine eleven this Saturday.

23:36

Yeah, I think it's a it's a it's a guitar pull.

23:38

Most of us gonna sit around and play some songs

23:40

for for for the folks.

23:43

It's it's really to commemorate nine to eleven is but you

23:45

know it's that that they will always

23:47

live in our in the lexicon

23:50

of America, so you know, to be a part of that. It's

23:52

just I think it's really special. I think the lineup is incredible.

23:54

That's gonna be awesome. You ever get intimidated

23:56

with any You said you'd love to perform

23:59

with Paul McCartney, But is there anybody

24:01

where you went, wow, I'm

24:04

actually singing. Yeah. When you when you do a guitar

24:06

pull with Chris Stapleton and he's got a sing

24:08

right before you, that's awful. You

24:12

know what I do. This is how much of a friend

24:14

I am to Darius. I'll send him

24:16

Chris Stapleton songs just

24:19

to let him know that

24:21

guy can sing. I

24:25

tell him the story though about Chris Stapleton,

24:28

who's one of the great songwriters. But

24:31

didn't you have a rule with Chris Stapleton if

24:33

he wrote you a song, Oh, we

24:35

have a role. I have a rule with him

24:37

when we write together that he can't sing the demo

24:40

because he sang the demo.

24:43

He sang the demo the comeback song, And so

24:45

we're making the record and my producers like, hey,

24:47

man, I love this comeback song. I'm like, man, I'm

24:50

not really feeling that one. Man, you know, I don't want to do

24:52

it. He's like, man, So finally where roma's done, and

24:55

he goes, man, why don't you want to do the comeback song? And

24:57

I was like, have you heard the demo? I

25:02

can't sing it like that. So,

25:04

yeah, that's our rule. He can't sing the demo. If

25:06

we if we saw did you almost not become

25:09

a singer? I

25:11

mean, would you have done? I

25:14

wanted to do what you do, but you know, i'd probably

25:16

26:18

you guys where where all of a sudden you go,

26:20

oh my god, that person knows who we are.

26:23

Oh the rim guys. That was when they

26:26

like when Mike Bill started to hang out of stuff that freaks

26:28

26:43

I'm really good friends with UH, with coach Carlisle,

30:39

Dallas and he goes, hey, man, you know, I

30:46

30:48

Can I play with you? And

30:50

so we are like you let them? Do you

30:52

let people do? But you're like, man, you know, we do

30:55

this specialist thing on like what do you want to

30:57

play? Like letter Cry? We're like, oh my goodness, we

30:59

do this thing. Let a cry. Okay, we do

31:01

the piano breakdown, you know, Okay, We'll

31:03

let you play. And we get there and

31:06

we start playing a song and he starts

31:08

playing piano and everybody in the band

31:10

couldn't believe it. He was unbelievable.

31:14

He was unbelievable. And we get to the breakdown

31:17

and he killed it. And

31:19

I just after the show, I was like, coach Carlisle,

31:21

you can play with us anytime he wants. He

31:23

was unbelievably great. What happens

31:26

when John Daly shows up and wants

31:28

to come on stage and sing. I

31:30

turned the band and go, y'all know, knocking on happen his

31:32

door? Let's do it? One, two, three four. The

31:36

last time he sang it was at the Monday

31:38

after the Masters Your Charity golf tournament.

31:40

He got done with the song, he walked over

31:43

off stage and kissed me on the mouth. Yes,

31:46

no, no, that's not good. I

31:48

was like, I never want to hear this song

31:50

again. Like

31:53

John Daly just sang it, okay,

31:56

And he walked over and he just kept walking over

31:58

and he grabbed my face and he kissed me on

32:00

the mouth. And my son goes, does he do that

32:02

every time he sings this? God?

32:05

I hope not. I hope

32:07

not. All right, So I'll see you this

32:09

weekend. Thanks again, and good luck

32:11

to your dolphins this weekend. All

32:13

right, man, I'll talk to you later. OK. That's Darius

32:16

Rucker. He's got a lot of country

32:18

hits and My Masterpiece

32:20

is the latest single from him.

32:23

Every time they show up somewhere, you know, somebody

32:25

comes on stage and John Daley

32:27

only sings one song, Knock Knock Knocking

32:30

on Heaven's Door, and you know what's coming,

32:32

and he's coming out and he's gonna sing no matter

32:34

what, and he actually

32:36

does. He does a nice job on it. But

32:39

you know, part of singing it feels like his confidence,

32:42

having the confidence to sing. Because

32:44

they are a lot of singers like

32:47

Tom Waits is not a great singer, but

32:50

he's a great writer and he's got

32:52

confidence. Bob Dylan probably

32:55

not considered a great singer, but he's

32:57

a great writer and has confidence. There's

32:59

something about Willie Nelson. For a long

33:01

time was just writing songs, and

33:03

then all of a sudden he started singing. Chris Stapleton,

33:06

he's written I don't know how many

33:09

songs, thousands of songs, it feels

33:11

like. And then he started recording these songs

33:13

and you go that dude is

33:16

one of the great singers. That you're here, all

33:18

right, we'll take a break best and works

33:20

34:20

of the Weekend. After a career threatening knee injury in twenty

34:22

and eighteen that was supposed to have him walking in severe pain

34:25

for the rest of his life. We mentioned it earlier. Florida

34:27

State's quarterback McKenzie Milton, a guest on Tomorrow's

34:29

show, comes into the game in the fourth quarter, leads

34:31

the Seminoles to back to back scoring drives,

34:33

forcing overtime. Worst of the weekend, a

34:35

bottle of two top five teams that I was pumped to watch

34:38

turned out to be a dud. Clemson

34:40

a Boys getting shut out with a fourth quarter

34:42

field goal ten three lost to the Bulldogs. Alrighty

34:44

mclovin. My best is gonna be Canadian

34:46

tennis player Layla Fernandez, who beat two number

34:48

one seeds, including Naomi Osaka. Randomly.

34:51

I haven't watched all the US Open, but she's

34:53

got to be five foot two, just killing it out

34:55

there. My worst, I'm gonna go with

34:57

Todd. I was so excited for Clemson Georgia

35:00

and I could not stay awake. Seed

35:02

O'Connor jor the third. I have no best,

35:04

only worse, and it's Weston

35:07

McKenney from the US men's national team,

35:09

who's one of the superstars there. He's one of the

35:11

biggest names. He plays in Italy for Juventus. He

35:14

got suspended for the

35:16

World Cup qualifiers for violating COVID

35:18

protocol. He may have violated

35:21

a bunch of other sort of teammate protocols

35:24

as well, and now he's been

35:26

he's not He was suspended for the

35:29

game they just had against Canada, and now he was already

35:31

sent back to Italy to like, you're not going to play

35:33

any for the rest of these qualifiers, and

35:35

he's one of their main players. It's just and

35:37

now they've tied Canada. It's like, good

35:40

grief, PAULI, I

35:43

got a couple. These are best. My

35:45

Presbyterian blue hose. Dan, I'm sticking with

35:47

him. Eighty four forty three over the Saint Andrew's Nights.

35:50

The quarterback for Presbyterian, Wren Hefley, Yeah,

35:52

I don't sleep on him for the draft. Five hundred

35:54

thirty eight yards and ten touchdowns. That's

35:56

the coach from high school who doesn't punt. He's now

35:58

coaching at Presbyterian and as

36:00

LA names Kelly. They do not have a punter

36:02

on the roster. I don't know if there's some

36:05

position player who punts in an emergency situation, but

36:07

they don't punt. And then the

36:09

other game, Youngstown State, my Penguins

36:11

over incarnate word forty four forty

36:13

one in overtime. Jalio McLaughlin

36:16

twenty nine carries two hundred forty yards and two touchdowns

36:18

for your Penguins. But at what

36:20

point do you say we need to punt if

36:23

it's inside the ten yard line? Your own ten

36:25

yard line doesn't punt When

36:27

he was in high school, he's a former high school coach, A La Sames

36:29

Kelly. I on his first name for Presbyterian Blue

36:31

Hose. He made his bones and got a

36:33

lot of Nashville blissy for never punting, and he was very

36:35

successful and I put up eighty four

36:37

points in the first game. Yeah, but

36:40

still at there has to be a point

36:42

where you go if we go on go fourth

36:44

and one at our nine yard

36:47

line, or do we punt it? It seems

36:49

like you're going to punt it. At what point

36:51

on the field do you go, we can't

36:54

go forward on fourth? Joe? Yeah,

36:56

I'm the club. By the way, their nickname is the Blue

36:59

Hose. What the heck is that? The

37:02

blue Hoes like like the Red Sox. I'm

37:05

the guessing, isn't there pale hoose.

37:08

Kevin Kelly is the name of the head coach down a Presbyterian.

37:10

He doesn't like punting at all. He's

37:12

anti punting. Is

37:15

blue? Are you sure the blue hose is

37:18

just yet? You wear blue socks, but no,

37:20

it's h o se. So

37:22

we gotta figure out is that a does hose

37:24

means socks? D h o s

37:28

Yeah, that's what their mascot

37:30

is, Scotti the Scotsman, and

37:32

their colors are blue and Garnett, and their nickname is

37:34

the Blue Hose. I'm permit me a couple

37:36

of minutes for deep dives this one. Yeah, but

37:39

you can't mean panty hose. It just probably just mean socks.

37:41

What do you think the hose in that part means. It's

37:43

like the same thing sons, Yeah,

37:45

socks, Yeah, but like the red

37:48

Sox and the white songs. Yeah. I didn't

37:50

know hose men socks, But now that you say it, it

37:52

says sound. In the

37:54

early nineteen hundreds, your blue hose. That was

37:56

the nickname. Sportswriters locally called

37:58

the Presbyterian College athletic teams the Blue Stockings

38:01

because of the bl blue stocks they all wore.

38:03

Sometimes they eat stockings or hose during

38:05

the year is often shortened

38:08

that way, and then the college is said, hey, let's pick this up

38:10

in uh nineteen eighty two and said blue

38:14

blue hose, blue hose in nineteen fifty

38:16

four. If they played Delaware, which

38:18

is a more threatening the blue hens or the blue hose,

38:20

who you're more frightened of a handkles

38:24

in your hose, You're

38:27

gonna get runs in your home pretty much. Yeah.

38:29

Yes, they faced off in the blue bonnetball

38:32

one time. Imagine

38:39

if they played on Boise States Field,

38:41

the blue field that we

38:44

looked like they didn't have any uh, any

38:47

calves, any legs, anything below their

38:49

knees. Yeah, I'd be like, look at oh my god,

38:51

look at that. Everybody

38:53

was really excited for that game, but ultimately it was a letdown. It

38:55

was blue. You

38:58

can't make the joke. Yes, yes,

39:00

I know how both teams got there. They flew Jeff

39:03

blew are we

39:05

doing this? I have no idea. Hey, that's

39:07

why we bring up Presbyterian. I

39:10

was wondering this and maybe somebody can help me. That

39:13

the Rams over underwin total

39:15

with Jared Golf for a full season was I

39:18

think ten wins. Matthew

39:20

Stafford is there, and the overunder I think

39:22

is ten wins. Matthew

39:25

Stafford with the Lions. The overunder

39:27

was five wins Jared

39:30

Golf with the Lions. The overunder,

39:32

I believe is five wins. Just

39:36

wonder supposed

39:38

to be a big upgrade. Peter King's got him as the

39:40

MVP this year. The Rams are going to win the Super

39:42

Bowl and like, okay, I

39:45

might have been the first person to jump on the Matthew

39:47

Stafford jump on the odds for MVP.

39:51

But you

39:53

know, here's the thing. Vegas

39:56

doesn't care about storylines. They

39:58

just want to pick. You know, this is the guy.

40:00

These are the odds for MVP. While

40:03

we may look at Matthew Stafford as oh, he's

40:05

finally playing on a good team. Sean

40:08

mcvay's got a quarterback who can run all the

40:10

plays and make all the throws. But

40:12

Vegas doesn't care. And you

40:14

got Josh Allen and Patrick

40:17

Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers top

40:19

three and pretty top heavy there, I would

40:22

think for the m V pig. But that's

40:24

why I said, if you could get I think Stafford

40:26

was what were the odds how many

40:28

months ago when he first got there. It

40:31

felt like there were pretty long odds or

40:34

favorable odds to jump on with Matthew

40:36

Stafford. I don't know what they are now, but

40:40

feels like he's probably in that second wave

40:42

of MVP candidates. Do you guys see any

40:44

Vegas odds for Matthew Stafford?

40:47

Yea poet. Yeah. Before the Rams acquired Stafford,

40:49

they were eighteen to one. After the trade, there were fifteen

40:51

to one. Oh to win, to win

40:53

the Super Bowl? Okay, but what about Matthew Stafford

40:55

for MVP? I could just tell you right now he's

40:58

I'm seeing twenty to one and he's about seventh

41:00

on the list. Yeah, okay, so yeah, definitely in

41:02

that top two. I'll try and find out back then

41:05

who throws for more yards. This is gonna sound

41:07

crazy that I'm saying Matthew

41:11

Stafford or Jameis Winston.

41:16

It's for some reason, it popped into

41:18

my head. Just crazy,

41:21

and I'm gonna make my Super Bowl pick probably

41:24

on Thursday, a

41:26

week from this Thursday. I would like to get

41:28

that full week you know games coming

41:31

up this weekend, yes week

41:33

love. It makes sense that Jamis Stafford thing

41:35

because they both threw for five thousand yards and

41:37

not many quarterbacks have ever done that. Just

41:40

I think people would take Stafford. Yeah, I think the

41:42

public would take Stafford. Well, they trust Stafford

41:44

with the Rams and Sean McVeigh, I guess more

41:46

than Winston. With a New Orleans

41:48

team, it won't have its best wide receiver and

41:52

pay some whole Hill, you know, still waiting

41:54

in the in the wings there. He might be hit best

41:56

wide receiver too. Yeah, I know. Yeah.

41:59

For for Jamis to look better, Taysom

42:02

Hill has to be good. I loved

42:04

you guys theory that Taysoman's gonna drop one

42:06

on purpose to get that starting quarterback. Yeah. Oh

42:08

sorry, Yeah, that

42:10

throw wasn't right on the money. All

42:13

right, more phone calls coming up here, age

42:16

seven seven three d p show. What are

42:18

we gonna go in the final hour? Oh it's

42:20

a doozy, you ratter stay in your car for this one.

42:23

It's football related, Okay, I'm

42:25

just gonna say that's usually means that you don't have one.

42:28

Well what I say, it's football related. I'm keeping

42:31

it very gedule. All

42:33

right, we'll talk to Greg McElroy, the former Alabama

42:36

quarterback, and he was on the call for

42:39

Notre Dame in Florida State. Two
