Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's our two on this Wednesday, Dan and the Danna's
Dan Patrick Show. Here at the Lovely Fountain Blue Hotel
just opened up in December. They have done a beautiful
job here. They opened up the pool deck and we
took advantage of it. Great studio audience once again today
(00:25):
coming up mister Vegas, Brett Musburger will join us.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Cam Newton. What a great appearance last hour.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We were during the commercial break talking about greatest seasons
let's say since two thousand quarterbacks have had in college,
and we did talk about this, if you had a
football Hall of Fame, you have a basketball Hall of
Fame that you can be great in college and get
into the basketball Hall of Fame where you can be
just great in the NBA and get into the basketball
Hall of Fame. We don't have that with you the
(00:53):
NFL Hall of Fame. You do have a college Hall
of Fame, but if you had just a football Hall
of Fame, Newton would be in that football Hall of Fame,
and he had one of the greatest seasons single seasons
quarterback has ever had. Now you can throw in Johnny Manziel,
Jaden Daniels this year, you might get an argument from
a lot of people saying that's the greatest single season
(01:15):
a quarterback has ever had. Joe Burrow had an incredible
season there when they won the national title. Who else
do we throw in there? Johnny Manziel, Yeah, Manziel's in there,
Jaden Daniels, Cam, Who's was there another one?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
That?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And Joe Burrow? You know, those are probably the four
best seasons. Now we're talking about running and passing for Manzel.
Manziel led the SEC in rushing, which is preposterous to say.
It's like that guy led the SEC in rushing, and
then Cam, I don't know if he led the SEC
in rushing. He did have twenty rushing touchdowns. But when
(01:51):
you look at these individual numbers, Jaden Daniels, to me,
I think has had the greatest single season that a
quarterback's had, you know, in the last twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeampoing, Yeah, Jayde and Daniels this.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Year threw for thirty eight touchdow thirty eight hundred yards,
forty touchdowns and four picks. That alone will probably get
you the Heisman. He threw in eleven hundred and thirty
four rushing yards and ten touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, which, yeah, it's and oh, by the way, a
thousand yard rushing season.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Joe Burrow who didn't run a lot but ran Okay,
he threw for sixty touchdowns and six picks with fifty
six hundred yards at LSU.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, as Marvin said, yeah, but look at the receivers
he had at LSU.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Why are you doing that to Joe Burrow? Why are
you doing that to.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Joe all poer receivers.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, college is Joe Burrow the rock party of college football?
There that he's just taken advantage of the weapons there,
I say, Okay, I saw that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
It's kind of what you say, no, no, kind of
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, he's a game change.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know what, when I remember watching Johnny Manziel, I'm going, damn,
that guy makes something happen all the time. And then
you realize whenever he needed somebody to bail him out,
he had Mike Evans.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
There six y five. Mike Evans is to jump up.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And now we know Mike Evans is going to the
Hall of Fame. Johnny hasn't. Johnny will never play football again,
and barely played football in the NFL, but Mike Evans
helped save Johnny Manziel and a lot of those throws.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yes, Paul Manziel's freshman year at A and M thirty
seven hundred yards passing twenty six touchdowns only nine picks.
He ran for fourteen and ten yards and twenty one
touchdowns in the And I mean he got better as
a passer his second year. He ran a lot less.
His second year is better. He was thirty seven touchdowns
and thirteen picks. He had, the ability, he had, the performance.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, he just you know, sometimes this sport comes too
easy to you and then you have to work. Like
Kyler Murray, I think he was so great in high
school and great in college, and then you get to
the pros and then that's when you really have to start,
you know, dedicating yourself to your craft. And I think
that's what he's had to learn here. It was so
natural for him. I mean, look at him in high school.
(03:55):
I don't think he lost a game, and then you know,
grand it took him a little while to get started
in college. But you know, he's had to learn how
to play be a professional football player. And I think
really his success his career is incumbent upon what he
does now from now on out. You know, does he
want to be a great, a great quarterback. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
It's like JaMarcus Russell. Everything came so easy and they
were like, oh, you have to study. He was like,
what's that? Yeah, I just tow the ball eighty five yards?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Or Kyle Bowler, well, Kyle Bowler. He just I think
he was taken too high in the draft. And you know,
those caw quarterbacks usually didn't play well under Jeff Tedford
except for you know, Aaron Rodgers came in from Cal
and you know, kind of broke them mold. But he
also came in and I think he had habits of
quarterbacks that Cal quarterbacks had of where they hold the ball,
(04:46):
and then all of a sudden he just sort of said,
you know, screw this, I'm going to be Aaron Rodgers
in the NFL. Alrighty, let's see if you're watching on Peacock,
thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates
around the country. We'll try to get a couple of
phone calls in here. Seven to seven three DP shew
email Addressdpadanpatrick dot com.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Mercedes Benz.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The interview we did with Cam brought to you by
well the great folks at Mercedes. The all Electric EQB
from Mercedes Benz, the vehicle all Electric, the feeling all Mercedes.
Learn more at NBUSA dot com pole question for hour
two is gonna be what Steve know Connor.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I think we're gonna put up there the college football
question that we just stumbled on, the best season by
a quarterback if Cam in twenty ten, Johnny Manziel twenty twelve,
Joe Burrow twenty nineteen, Jaden Daniels twenty twenty three. Okay,
that's fun, all right?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yes, Mark? Sorry?
Speaker 7 (05:39):
You know what you and Cam should do what like
every marketing period, almost like school. You give him like
a report card, you great couple of his interviews because
he seems like such a fan of yours and vice
versa with you.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
You guys should do that. You'd be like the principal.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Well, he'd got to ask for that. I don't want
to say, hey, let me grade your.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
It's almost like you have a school of broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I do have one, yeah, in Orlando, Florida. Yes, Dan
Patrick school of Sportscasting. By the way, full sale University. Now,
you know what I love about Cammys. He wants to
be great. He wants to learn, and uh not everybody
does who gets into the business. A lot of people
think you just hit the you know, the button and
the mic comes on and then you just talk. But
(06:21):
he wants to understand how to ask questions. You know,
what are you trying to get out of somebody in
an interview? Yes, as we knew it happened in the
minute we put the poll question up.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
People would be like, how are you forgetting this one?
But there are some good ones there. Well, we're only
doing quarterbacks, Okay, right, so well Sanders, Reggie Bush, etc.
Who were they? Who were they yelling at? Are they
yelling at us to put in who? Yes, well there's
a there's a pretty good one that we forgot about. Okay,
Vince Young. That's a hell of a season that fell had. Yeah,
(06:52):
that's a hell of a season.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Okay, Yeah, Vince Young to me is more of a
career than a season. It's almost like like we didn't
put Tebow on because it's a season, right gussing here?
But Vin youngs last year at Texas, I mean, national
title beating UC twenty six touchdowns, passing ran for a
thousand yards.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
He clearly belongs it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Well, yeah, because he won the national title.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It helps.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
If he didn't win the national title and he just
put up those numbers, then that's not a great season.
But he capped it off with winning that game, winning
the national title and running that touchdown in Reggie Bush
I would put in there. But I think we're kind
of looking at quarterbacks. Yeah, you know, that's that's kind.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Of his cam was here and then you're like compare
quarterbacks and quarterbacks kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, and Tim Tebow. Did tibo have a singular great season?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
He oh, oh, it was more like three great years.
Should have been six, by the way, he should have
stayed as I've said for years. Yeah, but yeah, he's
not one season, he's three, by the way. I sold
his story.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And here we are in Vegas, the mayor of Las
Vegas says, and that's Mayor Carolyn Goodman. It doesn't sound
like she's thrilled that the Oakland A's are coming to town.
So she said the team's stadium plan quote does not
make sense, and the A's ownership should go back to
the drawing board and pitch a new plan in the
(08:14):
Bay Area doesn't sound like she's excited they're coming to town.
She then goes on to say, I personally think the
A's got to figure out a way to stay in
Oakland to make their dream come true. But then she says,
should that fail, Las Vegas has shown that it is
(08:34):
a spectacular market for Major League sports franchises.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'll tell you what, Yeah, what's that if you're the
A's I'm sorry what I thought that we didn't we
have a deal in this yah? Yeah, because if I'm
an A's fan in Oakland, I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Want you back. Nope, No, I don't want you back.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You'll get my San Francisco Giants gear, And all of
a sudden, I have a yard sale and I put
my Oakland A's gear out there.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yes, a minor league team to get behind something.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
See you later. Yes, point.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
We've been discussing the story, and I get more confused
the more I read it.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You look back. MLB has approved the move. The A's
have approved the move. It is happening.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I thought it was just a matter of where the
A's play the next two years. While they're getting the
stadium together. I didn't think that this was in jeopardy
or Vegas didn't want this. It's very confusing.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, they want a ballpark on the strip because as
soon as you get in from the airport, you you
drive by the Raiders Stadium. I mean it's right there,
and usually there you know you got land that's not
expensive land, or maybe you already own the land and
then you could build a stadium on it. But you
drive in, you can't miss the stadium right there on
(09:47):
the left when you come in. But they're planning a
nine acre there's a parcel on the Las Vegas Strip,
but they're saying congestion makes the site less attractive than
a larger in North Las Vegas, which she proposed. The
mayor in the city don't have the jurisdiction over the strip.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
It's a mess.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yes, I see what's going on. This is jocking for position.
It's not whether we have the a's here, it's whether
we put it where I want or other people want.
This is going on in Chicago with Arlington Knights in downtown.
This feels like the mayor is putting this out there
purposely during Super weeks for some type of I want
to hear you want it there.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Oh so this could be political, is what you're saying.
Go figure, Okay, didn't see that one coming, Chuck Tatovi. Yeah.
Stat of the Day brought to you by Banania America,
the official trading cards of the program. All of our
in studio guests receive a gift bag courtesy of Keeper's Heart,
Good Rangers, Miller Lite, the Original Louisiana Brand, Hansas King,
Sawaian and Traeger Grills. We mentioned a couple of the
(10:50):
prop bets at you know, wield the game end in
a walk off field goal. I could see that happening,
or maybe a walk off miss field goal. But Jim
Nance will join us coming up next hour. And I'm
curious when you get into these production meetings, and Brett
Musberg will know this as well. How much is of
(11:11):
Taylor Swift? Is her involvement is involved in what you're
going to plan here? Now, she's not involved in the conversation,
but the cameras of where is she going to be?
How much coverage are you going to have with her?
And how much is enough? How much is too much?
Because you're going to get people saying, why are we
(11:31):
showing Taylor Swift again. Nobody ever says, why are we
showing Jerry Jones again? Why are we showing Robert Kraft again?
But Taylor Swift? That bothers people. And I wonder CBS
is carrying the Super Bowl. At what point do you say, hey,
let's not show her. After an Isaiah Pacheco touchdown or
Travis Kelsey makes a catch, We're automatically going up there.
(11:55):
So I think that's kind of a I can't remember
in all the Super Bowls that I was a part
of that there was anything that was sort of on
the periffering that you were also covering while you're covering
a game. And I think that makes it tricky, especially
for Jim nance because you've got to make it all
work camera. The director will go, oh, we got Taylor
(12:16):
in the in the suite there. Well, Jim has to
then acknowledge that, and somebody has to tell Tony Romo
Taylor Swift is not Tavis Kelsey's wife, because Tony keeps saying, oh,
Travis Kelsey's wife, and I'm like, no, still not, Jim,
what would you do?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
What would you do back to you?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Now, That's where Tony would say, well, if I'm Travis Kelsey, you.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Know what I married. Yeah, I don't know. What would
you do, Jim?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That would probably be how Tony would respond to that.
So I can ask Jim that and we'll do our
one Tony Romo personation to Jim nant and then that's it.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Do we think he's going to appreciate Romo impersonation the
insting word appreciate, Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Do I think he'll be gracious enough?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Do I think he'll appreciate it?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
I think he'll be giggling on the inside, but he'll
feel like on the outside he can't show that he's enjoying.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The old giggling on the inside. By the way, Todd
is playing hurt. Last night at one fifty seven am
local time, he uh, well, he went airborne. We're going
to do a reenactment of this coming up, just to
let people understand the magnitude.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And then this was serious.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
I mean, you think you're poking fun at this.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I don't think it's no, no, no, no, no, Todd,
listen to my voice. I mean, you fell over a bench,
you went airborne, you cut your leg and you.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Think you may need stitches. But you're you're here and
we appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
At least I probably need a tennis shot, but I'm
glad you make a fun of It's.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
No, you don't need a technical things. Did you get
bit by like a.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Or anything like that? But I was bleeding and I
put soapy water on it, but still burning right now.
I lost feeling in part of my longs dog.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You did not. Yes, Marvin, we.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Need to make a T shirt. But how do you spell?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Like?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
How do you spell?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
There? Just the idea of Todd at like two in
the morning in is whatever his pajamas are.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
No, I don't even want to know.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I'm pointing at the couch and r P.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
I'm cursing out the animal for jammastre on.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
It or whatever you made me.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
That was one of my twilight zone Zuba's pants.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Your a T shirt and I just went flying to.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
This thing and I'm cursing out the thing that I fell.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's a twilight zone for us who have seen you
in those zubaz pants.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Not good.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
We gotta look right right right in the eye. Yeah,
don't look down.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
But cursing and yelling at an inanimate objects is not
like a person didn't trip me.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
It was there all but since.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I two in the morning, two in the morning because I.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Had peanut M and m's a like one fifteen.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
And then forty five minutes later I had all of
a sudden, Oh my god, I got to go.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yes, yeah, I think we have a solution.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Todd said, every night this week he gets out of
bed to go to the bathroom, and he walks around
the bed to the bathroom, and that he gets that
benches in the way.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
How about this, Todd, get out the other side of
the bed.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
That's the threat. But I think it's a whole length
of the bed, and then if you.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Get out the other side, you could avoid it and
go right to the bathroom.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
I may have to try them. But in the meantime,
I have this wound that you guys think is so hysterical.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
No, I didn't say it was funny.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I have a wound, and it's not a wound.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You you have a scrape. It's more than it's wound.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Was the Vietnam thoughts in praise. I was limping to
get my pants on. That's all I'm gonna say. I
don't want to make more of it than it is.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
No, you've made a ton of it.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
They called down to the front deck to find if
there's any kind of place where they can check it out,
and they said, sir, I took a picture of it,
and I sent it to the chief of staff there
at the lobby to see.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
You think I should get this looked at and then
you'll be fine stir.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Like I did.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I asked to walk in.
Speaker 9 (15:49):
You're kind of clinic. I don't have to have that.
But they didn't really, they just said you'll be fine.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
And well, they got clinics in Vegas.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
At least tended to be concerned, unlike EGO, I am
sorry that you tripped on the thing, and you're.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Like I, I, I'm sorry you tripped on the thing.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
I went airborne.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I got I'm a great guy.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
We're the airborne and to land on the thing. And
then I bounced off of it and they rolled to
the side under the TV.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I hope you lose your leg now I do?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Oh good TV?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (16:19):
No for amputation?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Clear, Yes, I do. I want you know what's good content?
It's good content? Wow?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Anything we got Brent Musburger, Yeah, we do, we do.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, you're looking a lot. You are looking live at
Todd's wound there. Maybe maybe we'll get Rent to do that.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I put icy hot on it into it.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
I didn't have anything.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I don't know what you don't put. You did not
put icey.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Actually because it was like burning, because it would cool
it off because it was like burning.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
So the icy part of the icy.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Hot that the idea is Todd travels with icy hot too.
My little back's kind of awesome. You didn't bring a
rain cope with you brought icy hot? Why baby cream?
Speaker 9 (17:06):
I have mentos, I have tik tags, and I have
the icy hot, and.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Why would you bring icy hot?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
My lower back stiffens up sometimes.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
But then why would you put it on an open wound.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
I just got caught up in the icy part of
icy hot. If it's burning, I need something cold. I
didn't have ice.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
I didn't want to walk down the hall at two
thirty in the morning filling up my little ice bucket.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
So I'm like, I'm gonna put this little icy hot
on it.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
See what happens.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
But then there's icy there's also the hot part of
icy hot.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
They don't call it icy. Eighty seconds later, it burned
more than ever. You're right, what's the hot plug kit there.
You're absolutely right. It with a mistake.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
See, this is where the audience they can actually see
that this goes on every day and it's not an act,
and this is this is what Todd is all about
right here.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Yeah, because they're actually seeing it go on in the
breaks and the MIC's novel.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, yes, yes, wow, he really does.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, during the next break, we'll do a dramatic and
reenactment of you nearly losing your leg.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
About a three inch gash. I just want you to
I don't know if you got close enough. I saw
it's like a across the bottom of my Do.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
We have.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Do we have a nurse? We do have a nurse
here in the building. Okay, do you want to have
her look at yours?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I'm working with a little bit of a limb.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
If it was a male nurse, he say, now it is, Yeah,
it is a female. But I can have her look
at this this wound.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
Let's a little discolored.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't know what's going on, okay, but she can
be the one who decides that. How about I take
a break here. Okay, we accomplished absolutely nothing else. Yes,
all right, we'll take a break Brent Musburger will join
us coming up next year in a beautiful day here
at the Fountain Blue in Las Vegas.

Yes it was, and it sounds like everything's good. No amputation,
don't need any shots.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
But is that good content for the show.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
It's good content. I know he did down you. I
don't think he would mean that that.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
You'd want me to stop being so selfish?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Time? Yeah, why don't you give back to the show?
Lose a leg, get back?
Speaker 9 (19:57):
I got Carol's number in case this.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's not why you have Carol's number.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
That's between me and Karen.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
He wanted to know about her bedside manner and not
the bedside manner you're thinking.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Isn't what you can't do that? I heard you say
you have very good bedside manner.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
Mean anything she had that.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Brent Musburger is a old tamer uh and he's going
to be busy this weekend.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
He's going to be the Countdown to kick Off with
Brent Mussburger in the airing Sunday mornings at noon Eastern
on V'S in v s i N the Sports Betting Network.
You can find out more v s i N dot com.
Let's welcome in. Brett Musburger's got a lot.
Speaker 11 (20:52):
Of all.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Laddie got the whole game.
Speaker 10 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Yeah, we brought them all out sponsored by Mercedes.
Speaker 11 (21:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Wow, that's great, we got it all. Yeah, gotta pay
for this trip, Brent.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Listen, how about this crowd. That's awesome, awesome, Yeah, it's
a little.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
If I would have told you ten years ago we're
having a Super Bowl in Vegas, you would have said,
what a left?
Speaker 11 (21:19):
Yeah, how can we get here? Well, the Supreme Court
brought us here. When they legalize gambling on sports, the
NFL realizes we've got to embrace this in some manner
because otherwise I could get out of our control. For example,
let me let me give you a prop. You can't
(21:42):
bet on this week, Okay, the number of yellow flags
that will be thrown. The NFL insisted with Draft Kings
fan duel all the rest, and we stay away from
the officiated. And they agreed to do that. Otherwise, offshore
you were all where he's able to bet how many penalties,
how many holding calls, you know, things like that. So
(22:05):
the NFL became part of it, and now gambling is
a big sponsor. The other side of it is Jerry Jones,
the owner of the Cowboys. He helped Mark Davis get
the Raiders in here. And then Mark Bdain, who was
in working with the Raiders, built this beautiful stadium, Allegiant,
and the rest is history. Mark and Jerry lobbied the
(22:27):
league and here we are with a Super Bowl in
Las Vegas. What made the commissioner kind of change his opinion?
He was worried about the integrity of the sport? Yeah,
what has changed to ensure the integrity of the sport?
I think you have to stay close with it. And
most of the betting, as your audience knows, because some
(22:48):
of them do you bet on your phones?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You know, it's all the apps that you go do.
In the old days, we used.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
To come out here and my buddy Jimmy, the Greek,
we would go to the Barbary Coast and stand in
line at the window. And I said, Greek, how come
you always come to the Barbary Coast? He said, Brent
because in Parlays ties win.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (23:12):
So now now the Greek and I we would you know,
we were just I do I use the phone because
I live here in Las Vegas and have the different
apps with the casinos.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
But and you know you're tracked. I mean everyone everybody's
got a cell phone. Yeah, so you get ads that
come your way based upon what you're looking at. I mean,
the technology is unbelievable, tracks you where you are, knows
all things about you, and so listen. They know about
(23:43):
every gambler who comes on board, whether he's the twenty
thousand dollars better or the twenty dollars better.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
They know what's the most you bet on a football game?
On a single game, I think we can I maybe five.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Thousand, okay, yeah, but that's back in the seventies, that
you bet five grand.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, when let's see that was in the eighties. Good story.
Speaker 11 (24:09):
So the Eagles, coach by Dick vermil are playing the
Raiders owned by Al Davis. And you should know, I
think I've told you with this before. The Greek and
Al Davis were the closest of friends. I don't ever
remember Jimmy coming on the NFL today without having talked
(24:31):
to Al either on Saturday night or Sunday morning. You're
getting the latest scoop, okay, around the league. So Al
said to Jimmy we were down in New Orleans, and
he said, Greek.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You call him Greek. Greek.
Speaker 11 (24:46):
Eagles aren't fast enough to stay with us. They don't
have enough speed and Al was a speed guy. That's
what made the Raiders in the early days.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
So this is the Super Bowl Ron Jaworski against the Raider.
Speaker 11 (24:58):
Yeah, Rod Martin, Rod Martin remember him? And Josh Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
The Greek Greek?
Speaker 11 (25:06):
Right, how much money can you raise raised? I said, well,
let me let me go around and see. So I
think I was collecting five dollars bills from somebody that
we could get together.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
And there was no context.
Speaker 11 (25:18):
I mean, the Raiders got it on top and and
took it home and it was it was an easy
I think it was the biggest winner of the Greek's life.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Uh, that sounds like insider trading there, Breton, what does.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
You know to that point? The integrity of the game,
insider trading. That's why the NFL has always been the
best of all the pro leagues about injuries.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Injuries are critical information for betters.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
Okay, I was asked by somebody yesterday or was over
at Circa at the v S in studio and.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I was asked, how's Kittle's toe?
Speaker 11 (25:55):
I said, well, I'm assuming that's going to be okay
because they have but we won't get our first injury
report until today.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Today is actually the.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
First practice day for the Niners and the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We're talking to Brett Musburger, the Hall of Famer. You've
had this incredible career. You're part of the reason why
I got in this business because I saw what you
were doing.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I didn't know how to get there.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
But you were talking football, you had people on the set,
and then you started hosting a lot of different things.
But were you at the were you pullsided with Joe
Namath at the Fountain Blue in Miami when he made
the prediction? Yeah, I sure was. Now you're a reporter
in Chicago and correct. Chicago's American.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
Okay, Afternoon Paper, owned by the Tribune, had been a
Hearst paper and the Chicago Tribune company bought it, so
it was Afternoon Paper.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
And I was there at Super Bowl three.
Speaker 11 (26:48):
And it's an amazing story because a group of us
Jerry Green was there from Detroit, Sideberick from Dayton. So
we got in our cars and I think we took
a couple of taxes out. Actually they were staying at Lauderdale,
so we went up to the hotel. And in those days,
today if you try to go into the hotel out
of like you're gonna get stopped at the door. You're
(27:10):
not going in to see anybody from the chiefs of
the Niners. But in those days it was wide open.
So we went to the bellman and asked him, you know,
is there anybody around from the Jets? Hey, name it
out back by the pool. By being out we go,
there were people down. He was so accommodating. There were
there were fans out there. There were They had surrounded
(27:32):
his lounge chair and getting his autograph and asking him
about the game. And he was just stretched out and
enjoying the sunshine. And so about half dozen of us
went out there and interviewed him. Now, he actually made
the promise that they were going to win the night
before at a dinner at a gall at a country club.
(27:53):
That's where he first made it, all right. I was
there with Dave Anderson for the New York Times and
my wife. We went, we went out and had and
he stood he said it, kind of matter of factly, Okay,
I guarantee we'll win this game. And it wasn't you know,
it's later it sounded like it was braggadocio, but he didn't.
He didn't express it. That was just okay, we're gonna win.
(28:15):
And we spent out there at poolside. It's the famous
picture of us out there and when we were out
there for a good hour with him, and he finally had.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
To go in for a meeting. But Joe was always
great with fans, I mean people, even now.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
He lives down to Jupiter, Florida when I live down there,
and people would stop him for his autograph in.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That But I wonder if the Jets don't win that game,
what happens, what changes, if anything in the NFL.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
I'm not so sure that the complete merger comes about.
To tell you the truth, most important, I call it
the most important game in the history of what we
now call the National Football League. Okay, the first game
which I covered as a writer was in the Los
Angeles Coliseum. Chiefs were there and they lost to Vince
Lombardi in the Packers. Lombardi he felt a lot of
(29:05):
pressure Dan and he hid the Packers up in Santa Barbara,
and he he made it clear to all of us
stay away. We never talked to Lombardi before the game.
Hank Stram, come on, let's have a cocktail on Long Beach.
You know what I'm saying. He was entire Vince is
worried that if they lost to the AFL. He felt
(29:26):
the pressure of the entire National Football League on his shoulders.
And then he talked a long time about it, and
he said he said it was the most pressure he'd
ever felt going into a game.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
So, all right, the NFL wins.
Speaker 11 (29:41):
The first two, Okay, they go down and they won
the second one Packers, and that was Vince's last game
when he beats the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Last game is coach of the Packers. So then we
come to Super Bowl three, and because of.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
What Vince had accomplished the first two years, all the
bookmakers out here made the Colts an eighteen point favorite.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Okay, an eighteen point favor.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Okay, you talk about easy money if you were a
Jets fan, Okay, and you do Vinnie down in the
bar or something.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
You know what I'm saying. So it was stunning.
Speaker 11 (30:20):
Earl Morrile, Johnny uniis both quarterbacking. The Colts couldn't get
it done, and the Jets one going away, And now
suddenly that forces the hand. We got to have a
complete merger between the old AFL and the NFL. It
is the most important game in the history of the league,
bar one. I mean that in the first one, because
(30:41):
the Packers were able to beat the Chiefs in Super
Bowl One.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
We're talking of Brett Musburger, the Hall of Famer, the
state of where we are.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Can you have too much football? It's a good question,
you know.
Speaker 11 (30:55):
We'll see what the ratings are with the Spring league
coming up, Dan, We'll want watch and see what eyeballs.
I mean, I'm as amazed as these folks are out
here at what Taylor Swift was able.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
To accomplish with the ratings this year.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
I mean, like the fact that she's around or not,
it's irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
It has been great for the NFL.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
It has been I can't believe how many youngsters now
watch the games because of her.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
They follow her, and it's a demographic that's been added
to the league.
Speaker 11 (31:28):
So certainly, certainly what we've come through out of COVID
in that and I don't think so right now, not
with the National Football League and and of course the
commissioner announcing on Monday that the Eagles are going to
go down and be one of They'll be the home
team in Brazil on that Friday. Now that's another night.
You know, Thursday will be the opening the champion. Sunday
(31:52):
will host the game on Thursday, but then Friday, the
Eagles will host the game down to Brazil, and then
on Sunday everybody will be an action and there would
be finally a game on Monday.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
One of our favorite moments, you were in the booth
with Kirk Kirk Street and Eminem came into the booth.
Speaker 11 (32:10):
I was so hoping he'd make it to the Super
Bowl so we could have both he and Taylor Swift
singing the national anthem.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You know, I just thought that, Okay, how much did
you know about Eminem when he came into the booth.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I knew his name and that was about it.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Okay, Well you kept calling him Mathers.
Speaker 11 (32:27):
Oh yeah, you know, you know it was interesting Mathers.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
He wasn't high. Now everybody thinks he was, because he came.
Speaker 11 (32:40):
In the standing between Herbstree and me, and he was
not familiar with the monitors, so he was looking at
himself and he kind of froze on the on the
camera and everybody came, oh right, you had Eminem on it.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
And he was so hot, I say he was, you
know he Oh no, it was.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
We laugh now that you tell me that, because he's
like looking and his eyes are big, and.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Eyes are huge, and he's looking at himself.
Speaker 11 (33:06):
Okay, you know, because we've got the monitors there.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
I thought he was.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He was having He was kind of mocking you guys,
are like messing with you guys.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Oh, not at all, not at all. But you could
have been nicer.
Speaker 11 (33:18):
And also he was he was a knowledgeable fan, you know,
and I and when you see him at the Lions games,
and that he knows what's going on out there.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
So he wasn't high, but you and Herb Street were
high when you were. The only game is that.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
Don't give away by secrets. These are my good friends
out here. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You haven't done a gummy in a while, right. We
were wondering about a football hall of fame. Basketball has
a basketball Hall of Fame, so you can be a
great college player and go into the basketball Hall of Fame.
We're great, you know. You know then you are an
NBA player. Football doesn't have that. Would you like to
(33:58):
see a universal football hall of Fame? So Tim Tebow's
in the Hall of Fame. Cam Newton is in the
Hall of Fame. Johnny Manziel would be in the Hall
of Fame because what they did in college.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
That's interesting. I never I'd never thought about it. And
because we have Canton.
Speaker 11 (34:14):
Yeah, for the NFL, and that's a that's a wonderful
hall of fame for football.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Are you in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Not that I know of. I was on Gummery when I.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
So contributions to the game. You started the pregame show.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah, that's an interesting story, because would you like me
to write a letter on your behalf. I did this
for John Facenda because I said, it's a travesty that
the voice of the NFL is not in the Hall
of Fame. And I give them credit. They responded to
me and they put him in the Hall of Fame.
You know what I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna I'm
(34:52):
gonna you should be No, I'm serious, If I would
do that, I give I would do that. You should
be in the profile.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
You you were the first pregame show.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Brent, you've been now pissed off. You know that you're
not in the Hall of Fame. Okay, but you know,
let me work on that. Let me work on you.
You should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fact
contributions to the game.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
You should be.
Speaker 11 (35:18):
I want to take you back to the first pregame
show that we did. Okay, as to how it started.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Now, can I take a break? Sure, and then we
come back and give you a little bit more time. Sure, Okay,
we'll come back. We'll come back with the future Pro
Football Hall of Famer Brent Musburger right after this and
The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern, six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Hall of Famer and maybe one of these days in
the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brent Musburger, Managing editor
of Vison and Countdown to kick Off with Brent.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
That'll be Sunday.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Morning's Neon East and it's the Sports Betting Network. Find
out more at vsi N dot com. All right, before
the break, you were telling us when you started the
first pregame show.
Speaker 11 (36:10):
Yeah, we had announcers who went to the games to
do halftime in postgame, you know, and I was one
and We got a call from the head of sports
at CBS, Bob Wessler, and he said, Brent, you know
Jack Whitaker and Pat Summer ale Tapa show on Friday. Okay,
he said, but I want to eliminate that and go
(36:32):
live for the thirty minutes. Okay, And he said, do
you know IRV Cross? And I laughed and I said
I know him very well because we were at Northwestern
together and.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
I was a a Gopher.
Speaker 11 (36:48):
Really for the Daily Northwestern, the sports editor was upperclassman,
and so I would have to go get quotes from
a coach, Eric Parsigan, who was there before he went
to Notre Dame and Irv. And I said, Irv is lightful.
It's a lightful man. And I said, hey, of an athlete.
So it was going to be the two of us.
And about six weeks later, I get a call from
(37:09):
mister Westler and he said, Brent, do you know a
Miss America by the name of Phyllis Jor And I go,
I'm sorry, but I really don't follow the Miss America pageant.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I said, if you ask me who the.
Speaker 11 (37:23):
Quarterback is for the Colts, I might be able to
tell you. And he said, I want to bring her
in on the show. Now, I'm I'm so, I'm not
going to say no, you know, let's do it. And
it was a great addition because Irv and I had
rehearsed and practiced in halftime. We knew how to do
the highlights and all that. But Phyllis was one of
(37:44):
those special personalities Dan She lit up a room. And
at that time, there were no women's sportscasters around. Okay,
there was a Jane Hastain was working at it down
in Miami, and that was the only one I remember.
But the folks, the men in particular, they welcomed Phyllis
on a Sunday morning and she wound up being a
(38:04):
just a great host. And then the next year the summer,
I get a call Brent, you know a gambler by
the name of Jimmy the Greek, And I said, are
you kidding? When I stopped by Las Vegas, of course
I know the Greek. I want to put him on
the show. And I hesitated there and I said, was
the commissioner. I think, oh, we're going to have a
(38:26):
meeting with him.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
He's going to be fine.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Now.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
The one thing I knew about Pete Roselle. I'd always
see him at the Kentucky Derby. I knew he was
a horse player at acts, I said, well, he knows
a little bit of a gambling So we had a
delightful Meetia was wastler of the Greek and Brent over
in Park Avenue. The NFL office could not have been nicer.
And we get up to leave and he said one thing.
(38:48):
He said, I'd like to ask a favor. Now, when
a commissioner tells the three of us a favor, you
know it's an order coming down the line. Okay, he said,
I want you guys, when you do your show, please
don't mentioned minus three plus seven.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Now look, I'm thinking, wait a minute.
Speaker 11 (39:05):
That's that's the whole point of this. So but we
all say yes, sir, Yes, sir, yes sir. And on
the way back we said what are we going to do?
And we brought in some of the technical people. We
rehearsed and they managed to devise the checkboard for the
Greek people who remember those early days, okay, and if
the Greek checked.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
About four on one side, you knew it was cover seven.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
That team's going to cover the deal.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Like oh.
Speaker 11 (39:31):
And then one day but three years later the Greek
Greek took ill and couldn't make the show. We found
out on Saturday and I said, well, listen, my friend
Pete Rose is in town. And I knew he liked
to gamble on anything that moved. So I called Pete
and I said, Pete, I know this is Brett. I said,
listen to a favor. Can you come over? And so
he came over, and to this day when I run
(39:54):
into him, he said, you should have kept me. I
was a better handic epper than the Greek that was.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
That was is my guy, Pete Rose. Okay, should Pete
be in the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 11 (40:05):
Absolutely, and I would put an asterisk at the bottom
of it. I think the bottom of the plaque should
read he was suspended and whatever the year was for
gambling on baseball. I think it should be in there.
I don't think you should ignore history, and that's part
of history.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah. And also, you know if he bet when he
was playing, then I understand that if he manipulated games,
I know what he did as a manager, but I
still have to It's like when you cheat in grad school.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
I can't take away what.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
You did in your undergrad exactly and that's why you know,
I look at Pete and those are two separate things.
He is Brent Musburger, Hall of Famer, lead broadcaster, Managing
editor of Las Vegas Stats and Information Network. V's in
the original member of NFL Today CBS and you can
learn more the Sports Betting Network Countdown to kick off
with Brent Musburger. It's great to have you and as always, ladies,
(40:59):
into what a step you do. How about these people
voted out there? Jim Dance will join us coming up
next final hour on this Wednesday, Dan and the dan Ense,
Marvin Fritzy, Seaton, Paulie Yours truly in a great audience
here at the Fountain Blue Hotel.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Absolutely
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's our two on this Wednesday, Dan and the Danna's
Dan Patrick Show. Here at the Lovely Fountain Blue Hotel
just opened up in December. They have done a beautiful
job here. They opened up the pool deck and we
took advantage of it. Great studio audience once again today
(00:25):
coming up mister Vegas, Brett Musburger will join us.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Cam Newton. What a great appearance last hour.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We were during the commercial break talking about greatest seasons
let's say since two thousand quarterbacks have had in college,
and we did talk about this, if you had a
football Hall of Fame, you have a basketball Hall of
Fame that you can be great in college and get
into the basketball Hall of Fame where you can be
just great in the NBA and get into the basketball
Hall of Fame. We don't have that with you the
(00:53):
NFL Hall of Fame. You do have a college Hall
of Fame, but if you had just a football Hall
of Fame, Newton would be in that football Hall of Fame,
and he had one of the greatest seasons single seasons
quarterback has ever had. Now you can throw in Johnny Manziel,
Jaden Daniels this year, you might get an argument from
a lot of people saying that's the greatest single season
(01:15):
a quarterback has ever had. Joe Burrow had an incredible
season there when they won the national title. Who else
do we throw in there? Johnny Manziel, Yeah, Manziel's in there,
Jaden Daniels, Cam, Who's was there another one?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
That?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And Joe Burrow? You know, those are probably the four
best seasons. Now we're talking about running and passing for Manzel.
Manziel led the SEC in rushing, which is preposterous to say.
It's like that guy led the SEC in rushing, and
then Cam, I don't know if he led the SEC
in rushing. He did have twenty rushing touchdowns. But when
(01:51):
you look at these individual numbers, Jaden Daniels, to me,
I think has had the greatest single season that a
quarterback's had, you know, in the last twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeampoing, Yeah, Jayde and Daniels this.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Year threw for thirty eight touchdow thirty eight hundred yards,
forty touchdowns and four picks. That alone will probably get
you the Heisman. He threw in eleven hundred and thirty
four rushing yards and ten touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, which, yeah, it's and oh, by the way, a
thousand yard rushing season.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Joe Burrow who didn't run a lot but ran Okay,
he threw for sixty touchdowns and six picks with fifty
six hundred yards at LSU.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, as Marvin said, yeah, but look at the receivers
he had at LSU.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Why are you doing that to Joe Burrow? Why are
you doing that to.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Joe all poer receivers.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, college is Joe Burrow the rock party of college football?
There that he's just taken advantage of the weapons there,
I say, Okay, I saw that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
It's kind of what you say, no, no, kind of
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, he's a game change.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know what, when I remember watching Johnny Manziel, I'm going, damn,
that guy makes something happen all the time. And then
you realize whenever he needed somebody to bail him out,
he had Mike Evans.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
There six y five. Mike Evans is to jump up.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And now we know Mike Evans is going to the
Hall of Fame. Johnny hasn't. Johnny will never play football again,
and barely played football in the NFL, but Mike Evans
helped save Johnny Manziel and a lot of those throws.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yes, Paul Manziel's freshman year at A and M thirty
seven hundred yards passing twenty six touchdowns only nine picks.
He ran for fourteen and ten yards and twenty one
touchdowns in the And I mean he got better as
a passer his second year. He ran a lot less.
His second year is better. He was thirty seven touchdowns
and thirteen picks. He had, the ability, he had, the performance.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, he just you know, sometimes this sport comes too
easy to you and then you have to work. Like
Kyler Murray, I think he was so great in high
school and great in college, and then you get to
the pros and then that's when you really have to start,
you know, dedicating yourself to your craft. And I think
that's what he's had to learn here. It was so
natural for him. I mean, look at him in high school.
(03:55):
I don't think he lost a game, and then you know,
grand it took him a little while to get started
in college. But you know, he's had to learn how
to play be a professional football player. And I think
really his success his career is incumbent upon what he
does now from now on out. You know, does he
want to be a great, a great quarterback. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
It's like JaMarcus Russell. Everything came so easy and they
were like, oh, you have to study. He was like,
what's that? Yeah, I just tow the ball eighty five yards?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Or Kyle Bowler, well, Kyle Bowler. He just I think
he was taken too high in the draft. And you know,
those caw quarterbacks usually didn't play well under Jeff Tedford
except for you know, Aaron Rodgers came in from Cal
and you know, kind of broke them mold. But he
also came in and I think he had habits of
quarterbacks that Cal quarterbacks had of where they hold the ball,
(04:46):
and then all of a sudden he just sort of said,
you know, screw this, I'm going to be Aaron Rodgers
in the NFL. Alrighty, let's see if you're watching on Peacock,
thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates
around the country. We'll try to get a couple of
phone calls in here. Seven to seven three DP shew
email Addressdpadanpatrick dot com.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Mercedes Benz.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The interview we did with Cam brought to you by
well the great folks at Mercedes. The all Electric EQB
from Mercedes Benz, the vehicle all Electric, the feeling all Mercedes.
Learn more at NBUSA dot com pole question for hour
two is gonna be what Steve know Connor.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I think we're gonna put up there the college football
question that we just stumbled on, the best season by
a quarterback if Cam in twenty ten, Johnny Manziel twenty twelve,
Joe Burrow twenty nineteen, Jaden Daniels twenty twenty three. Okay,
that's fun, all right?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yes, Mark? Sorry?
Speaker 7 (05:39):
You know what you and Cam should do what like
every marketing period, almost like school. You give him like
a report card, you great couple of his interviews because
he seems like such a fan of yours and vice
versa with you.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
You guys should do that. You'd be like the principal.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Well, he'd got to ask for that. I don't want
to say, hey, let me grade your.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
It's almost like you have a school of broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I do have one, yeah, in Orlando, Florida. Yes, Dan
Patrick school of Sportscasting. By the way, full sale University. Now,
you know what I love about Cammys. He wants to
be great. He wants to learn, and uh not everybody
does who gets into the business. A lot of people
think you just hit the you know, the button and
the mic comes on and then you just talk. But
(06:21):
he wants to understand how to ask questions. You know,
what are you trying to get out of somebody in
an interview? Yes, as we knew it happened in the
minute we put the poll question up.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
People would be like, how are you forgetting this one?
But there are some good ones there. Well, we're only
doing quarterbacks, Okay, right, so well Sanders, Reggie Bush, etc.
Who were they? Who were they yelling at? Are they
yelling at us to put in who? Yes, well there's
a there's a pretty good one that we forgot about. Okay,
Vince Young. That's a hell of a season that fell had. Yeah,
(06:52):
that's a hell of a season.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Okay, Yeah, Vince Young to me is more of a
career than a season. It's almost like like we didn't
put Tebow on because it's a season, right gussing here?
But Vin youngs last year at Texas, I mean, national
title beating UC twenty six touchdowns, passing ran for a
thousand yards.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
He clearly belongs it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Well, yeah, because he won the national title.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It helps.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
If he didn't win the national title and he just
put up those numbers, then that's not a great season.
But he capped it off with winning that game, winning
the national title and running that touchdown in Reggie Bush
I would put in there. But I think we're kind
of looking at quarterbacks. Yeah, you know, that's that's kind.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Of his cam was here and then you're like compare
quarterbacks and quarterbacks kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, and Tim Tebow. Did tibo have a singular great season?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
He oh, oh, it was more like three great years.
Should have been six, by the way, he should have
stayed as I've said for years. Yeah, but yeah, he's
not one season, he's three, by the way. I sold
his story.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And here we are in Vegas, the mayor of Las
Vegas says, and that's Mayor Carolyn Goodman. It doesn't sound
like she's thrilled that the Oakland A's are coming to town.
So she said the team's stadium plan quote does not
make sense, and the A's ownership should go back to
the drawing board and pitch a new plan in the
(08:14):
Bay Area doesn't sound like she's excited they're coming to town.
She then goes on to say, I personally think the
A's got to figure out a way to stay in
Oakland to make their dream come true. But then she says,
should that fail, Las Vegas has shown that it is
(08:34):
a spectacular market for Major League sports franchises.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'll tell you what, Yeah, what's that if you're the
A's I'm sorry what I thought that we didn't we
have a deal in this yah? Yeah, because if I'm
an A's fan in Oakland, I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Want you back. Nope, No, I don't want you back.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You'll get my San Francisco Giants gear, And all of
a sudden, I have a yard sale and I put
my Oakland A's gear out there.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yes, a minor league team to get behind something.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
See you later. Yes, point.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
We've been discussing the story, and I get more confused
the more I read it.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You look back. MLB has approved the move. The A's
have approved the move. It is happening.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I thought it was just a matter of where the
A's play the next two years. While they're getting the
stadium together. I didn't think that this was in jeopardy
or Vegas didn't want this. It's very confusing.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, they want a ballpark on the strip because as
soon as you get in from the airport, you you
drive by the Raiders Stadium. I mean it's right there,
and usually there you know you got land that's not
expensive land, or maybe you already own the land and
then you could build a stadium on it. But you
drive in, you can't miss the stadium right there on
(09:47):
the left when you come in. But they're planning a
nine acre there's a parcel on the Las Vegas Strip,
but they're saying congestion makes the site less attractive than
a larger in North Las Vegas, which she proposed. The
mayor in the city don't have the jurisdiction over the strip.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
It's a mess.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yes, I see what's going on. This is jocking for position.
It's not whether we have the a's here, it's whether
we put it where I want or other people want.
This is going on in Chicago with Arlington Knights in downtown.
This feels like the mayor is putting this out there
purposely during Super weeks for some type of I want
to hear you want it there.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Oh so this could be political, is what you're saying.
Go figure, Okay, didn't see that one coming, Chuck Tatovi. Yeah.
Stat of the Day brought to you by Banania America,
the official trading cards of the program. All of our
in studio guests receive a gift bag courtesy of Keeper's Heart,
Good Rangers, Miller Lite, the Original Louisiana Brand, Hansas King,
Sawaian and Traeger Grills. We mentioned a couple of the
(10:50):
prop bets at you know, wield the game end in
a walk off field goal. I could see that happening,
or maybe a walk off miss field goal. But Jim
Nance will join us coming up next hour. And I'm
curious when you get into these production meetings, and Brett
Musberg will know this as well. How much is of
(11:11):
Taylor Swift? Is her involvement is involved in what you're
going to plan here? Now, she's not involved in the conversation,
but the cameras of where is she going to be?
How much coverage are you going to have with her?
And how much is enough? How much is too much?
Because you're going to get people saying, why are we
(11:31):
showing Taylor Swift again. Nobody ever says, why are we
showing Jerry Jones again? Why are we showing Robert Kraft again?
But Taylor Swift? That bothers people. And I wonder CBS
is carrying the Super Bowl. At what point do you say, hey,
let's not show her. After an Isaiah Pacheco touchdown or
Travis Kelsey makes a catch, We're automatically going up there.
(11:55):
So I think that's kind of a I can't remember
in all the Super Bowls that I was a part
of that there was anything that was sort of on
the periffering that you were also covering while you're covering
a game. And I think that makes it tricky, especially
for Jim nance because you've got to make it all
work camera. The director will go, oh, we got Taylor
(12:16):
in the in the suite there. Well, Jim has to
then acknowledge that, and somebody has to tell Tony Romo
Taylor Swift is not Tavis Kelsey's wife, because Tony keeps saying, oh,
Travis Kelsey's wife, and I'm like, no, still not, Jim,
what would you do?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
What would you do back to you?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Now, That's where Tony would say, well, if I'm Travis Kelsey, you.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Know what I married. Yeah, I don't know. What would
you do, Jim?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That would probably be how Tony would respond to that.
So I can ask Jim that and we'll do our
one Tony Romo personation to Jim nant and then that's it.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Do we think he's going to appreciate Romo impersonation the
insting word appreciate, Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Do I think he'll be gracious enough?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Do I think he'll appreciate it?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
I think he'll be giggling on the inside, but he'll
feel like on the outside he can't show that he's enjoying.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The old giggling on the inside. By the way, Todd
is playing hurt. Last night at one fifty seven am
local time, he uh, well, he went airborne. We're going
to do a reenactment of this coming up, just to
let people understand the magnitude.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And then this was serious.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
I mean, you think you're poking fun at this.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I don't think it's no, no, no, no, no, Todd,
listen to my voice. I mean, you fell over a bench,
you went airborne, you cut your leg and you.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Think you may need stitches. But you're you're here and
we appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
At least I probably need a tennis shot, but I'm
glad you make a fun of It's.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
No, you don't need a technical things. Did you get
bit by like a.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Or anything like that? But I was bleeding and I
put soapy water on it, but still burning right now.
I lost feeling in part of my longs dog.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You did not. Yes, Marvin, we.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Need to make a T shirt. But how do you spell?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Like?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
How do you spell?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
There? Just the idea of Todd at like two in
the morning in is whatever his pajamas are.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
No, I don't even want to know.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I'm pointing at the couch and r P.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
I'm cursing out the animal for jammastre on.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
It or whatever you made me.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
That was one of my twilight zone Zuba's pants.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Your a T shirt and I just went flying to.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
This thing and I'm cursing out the thing that I fell.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's a twilight zone for us who have seen you
in those zubaz pants.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Not good.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
We gotta look right right right in the eye. Yeah,
don't look down.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
But cursing and yelling at an inanimate objects is not
like a person didn't trip me.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
It was there all but since.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I two in the morning, two in the morning because I.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Had peanut M and m's a like one fifteen.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
And then forty five minutes later I had all of
a sudden, Oh my god, I got to go.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yes, yeah, I think we have a solution.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Todd said, every night this week he gets out of
bed to go to the bathroom, and he walks around
the bed to the bathroom, and that he gets that
benches in the way.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
How about this, Todd, get out the other side of
the bed.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
That's the threat. But I think it's a whole length
of the bed, and then if you.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Get out the other side, you could avoid it and
go right to the bathroom.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
I may have to try them. But in the meantime,
I have this wound that you guys think is so hysterical.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
No, I didn't say it was funny.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I have a wound, and it's not a wound.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You you have a scrape. It's more than it's wound.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Was the Vietnam thoughts in praise. I was limping to
get my pants on. That's all I'm gonna say. I
don't want to make more of it than it is.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
No, you've made a ton of it.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
They called down to the front deck to find if
there's any kind of place where they can check it out,
and they said, sir, I took a picture of it,
and I sent it to the chief of staff there
at the lobby to see.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
You think I should get this looked at and then
you'll be fine stir.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Like I did.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I asked to walk in.
Speaker 9 (15:49):
You're kind of clinic. I don't have to have that.
But they didn't really, they just said you'll be fine.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
And well, they got clinics in Vegas.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
At least tended to be concerned, unlike EGO, I am
sorry that you tripped on the thing, and you're.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Like I, I, I'm sorry you tripped on the thing.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
I went airborne.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I got I'm a great guy.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
We're the airborne and to land on the thing. And
then I bounced off of it and they rolled to
the side under the TV.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I hope you lose your leg now I do?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Oh good TV?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (16:19):
No for amputation?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Clear, Yes, I do. I want you know what's good content?
It's good content? Wow?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Anything we got Brent Musburger, Yeah, we do, we do.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, you're looking a lot. You are looking live at
Todd's wound there. Maybe maybe we'll get Rent to do that.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I put icy hot on it into it.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
I didn't have anything.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I don't know what you don't put. You did not
put icey.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Actually because it was like burning, because it would cool
it off because it was like burning.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
So the icy part of the icy.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Hot that the idea is Todd travels with icy hot too.
My little back's kind of awesome. You didn't bring a
rain cope with you brought icy hot? Why baby cream?
Speaker 9 (17:06):
I have mentos, I have tik tags, and I have
the icy hot, and.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Why would you bring icy hot?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
My lower back stiffens up sometimes.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
But then why would you put it on an open wound.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
I just got caught up in the icy part of
icy hot. If it's burning, I need something cold. I
didn't have ice.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
I didn't want to walk down the hall at two
thirty in the morning filling up my little ice bucket.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
So I'm like, I'm gonna put this little icy hot
on it.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
See what happens.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
But then there's icy there's also the hot part of
icy hot.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
They don't call it icy. Eighty seconds later, it burned
more than ever. You're right, what's the hot plug kit there.
You're absolutely right. It with a mistake.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
See, this is where the audience they can actually see
that this goes on every day and it's not an act,
and this is this is what Todd is all about
right here.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Yeah, because they're actually seeing it go on in the
breaks and the MIC's novel.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, yes, yes, wow, he really does.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, during the next break, we'll do a dramatic and
reenactment of you nearly losing your leg.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
About a three inch gash. I just want you to
I don't know if you got close enough. I saw
it's like a across the bottom of my Do.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
We have.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Do we have a nurse? We do have a nurse
here in the building. Okay, do you want to have
her look at yours?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I'm working with a little bit of a limb.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
If it was a male nurse, he say, now it is, Yeah,
it is a female. But I can have her look
at this this wound.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
Let's a little discolored.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't know what's going on, okay, but she can
be the one who decides that. How about I take
a break here. Okay, we accomplished absolutely nothing else. Yes,
all right, we'll take a break Brent Musburger will join
us coming up next year in a beautiful day here
at the Fountain Blue in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yes it was, and it sounds like everything's good. No amputation,
don't need any shots.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
You don't rooting for me to lose my leg though

Listen, how about this crowd. That's awesome, awesome, Yeah, it's
a little.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
If I would have told you ten years ago we're
having a Super Bowl in Vegas, you would have said,
what a left?
Speaker 11 (21:19):
Yeah, how can we get here? Well, the Supreme Court
brought us here. When they legalize gambling on sports, the
NFL realizes we've got to embrace this in some manner
because otherwise I could get out of our control. For example,
let me let me give you a prop. You can't
(21:42):
bet on this week, Okay, the number of yellow flags
that will be thrown. The NFL insisted with Draft Kings
fan duel all the rest, and we stay away from
the officiated. And they agreed to do that. Otherwise, offshore
you were all where he's able to bet how many penalties,
how many holding calls, you know, things like that. So
(22:05):
the NFL became part of it, and now gambling is
a big sponsor. The other side of it is Jerry Jones,
the owner of the Cowboys. He helped Mark Davis get
the Raiders in here. And then Mark Bdain, who was
in working with the Raiders, built this beautiful stadium, Allegiant,
and the rest is history. Mark and Jerry lobbied the
(22:27):
league and here we are with a Super Bowl in
Las Vegas. What made the commissioner kind of change his opinion?
He was worried about the integrity of the sport? Yeah,
what has changed to ensure the integrity of the sport?
I think you have to stay close with it. And
most of the betting, as your audience knows, because some
(22:48):
of them do you bet on your phones?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You know, it's all the apps that you go do.
In the old days, we used.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
To come out here and my buddy Jimmy, the Greek,
we would go to the Barbary Coast and stand in
line at the window. And I said, Greek, how come
you always come to the Barbary Coast? He said, Brent
because in Parlays ties win.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (23:12):
So now now the Greek and I we would you know,
we were just I do I use the phone because
I live here in Las Vegas and have the different
apps with the casinos.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
But and you know you're tracked. I mean everyone everybody's
got a cell phone. Yeah, so you get ads that
come your way based upon what you're looking at. I mean,
the technology is unbelievable, tracks you where you are, knows
all things about you, and so listen. They know about
(23:43):
every gambler who comes on board, whether he's the twenty
thousand dollars better or the twenty dollars better.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
They know what's the most you bet on a football game?
On a single game, I think we can I maybe five.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Thousand, okay, yeah, but that's back in the seventies, that
you bet five grand.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, when let's see that was in the eighties. Good story.
Speaker 11 (24:09):
So the Eagles, coach by Dick vermil are playing the
Raiders owned by Al Davis. And you should know, I
think I've told you with this before. The Greek and
Al Davis were the closest of friends. I don't ever
remember Jimmy coming on the NFL today without having talked
(24:31):
to Al either on Saturday night or Sunday morning. You're
getting the latest scoop, okay, around the league. So Al
said to Jimmy we were down in New Orleans, and
he said, Greek.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You call him Greek. Greek.
Speaker 11 (24:46):
Eagles aren't fast enough to stay with us. They don't
have enough speed and Al was a speed guy. That's
what made the Raiders in the early days.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
So this is the Super Bowl Ron Jaworski against the Raider.
Speaker 11 (24:58):
Yeah, Rod Martin, Rod Martin remember him? And Josh Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
The Greek Greek?
Speaker 11 (25:06):
Right, how much money can you raise raised? I said, well,
let me let me go around and see. So I
think I was collecting five dollars bills from somebody that
we could get together.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
And there was no context.
Speaker 11 (25:18):
I mean, the Raiders got it on top and and
took it home and it was it was an easy
I think it was the biggest winner of the Greek's life.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Uh, that sounds like insider trading there, Breton, what does.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
You know to that point? The integrity of the game,
insider trading. That's why the NFL has always been the
best of all the pro leagues about injuries.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Injuries are critical information for betters.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
Okay, I was asked by somebody yesterday or was over
at Circa at the v S in studio and.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I was asked, how's Kittle's toe?
Speaker 11 (25:55):
I said, well, I'm assuming that's going to be okay
because they have but we won't get our first injury
report until today.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Today is actually the.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
First practice day for the Niners and the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We're talking to Brett Musburger, the Hall of Famer. You've
had this incredible career. You're part of the reason why
I got in this business because I saw what you
were doing.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I didn't know how to get there.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
But you were talking football, you had people on the set,
and then you started hosting a lot of different things.
But were you at the were you pullsided with Joe
Namath at the Fountain Blue in Miami when he made
the prediction? Yeah, I sure was. Now you're a reporter
in Chicago and correct. Chicago's American.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
Okay, Afternoon Paper, owned by the Tribune, had been a
Hearst paper and the Chicago Tribune company bought it, so
it was Afternoon Paper.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
And I was there at Super Bowl three.
Speaker 11 (26:48):
And it's an amazing story because a group of us
Jerry Green was there from Detroit, Sideberick from Dayton. So
we got in our cars and I think we took
a couple of taxes out. Actually they were staying at Lauderdale,
so we went up to the hotel. And in those days,
today if you try to go into the hotel out
of like you're gonna get stopped at the door. You're
(27:10):
not going in to see anybody from the chiefs of
the Niners. But in those days it was wide open.
So we went to the bellman and asked him, you know,
is there anybody around from the Jets? Hey, name it
out back by the pool. By being out we go,
there were people down. He was so accommodating. There were
there were fans out there. There were They had surrounded
(27:32):
his lounge chair and getting his autograph and asking him
about the game. And he was just stretched out and
enjoying the sunshine. And so about half dozen of us
went out there and interviewed him. Now, he actually made
the promise that they were going to win the night
before at a dinner at a gall at a country club.
(27:53):
That's where he first made it, all right. I was
there with Dave Anderson for the New York Times and
my wife. We went, we went out and had and
he stood he said it, kind of matter of factly, Okay,
I guarantee we'll win this game. And it wasn't you know,
it's later it sounded like it was braggadocio, but he didn't.
He didn't express it. That was just okay, we're gonna win.
(28:15):
And we spent out there at poolside. It's the famous
picture of us out there and when we were out
there for a good hour with him, and he finally had.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
To go in for a meeting. But Joe was always
great with fans, I mean people, even now.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
He lives down to Jupiter, Florida when I live down there,
and people would stop him for his autograph in.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That But I wonder if the Jets don't win that game,
what happens, what changes, if anything in the NFL.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
I'm not so sure that the complete merger comes about.
To tell you the truth, most important, I call it
the most important game in the history of what we
now call the National Football League. Okay, the first game
which I covered as a writer was in the Los
Angeles Coliseum. Chiefs were there and they lost to Vince
Lombardi in the Packers. Lombardi he felt a lot of
(29:05):
pressure Dan and he hid the Packers up in Santa Barbara,
and he he made it clear to all of us
stay away. We never talked to Lombardi before the game.
Hank Stram, come on, let's have a cocktail on Long Beach.
You know what I'm saying. He was entire Vince is
worried that if they lost to the AFL. He felt
(29:26):
the pressure of the entire National Football League on his shoulders.
And then he talked a long time about it, and
he said he said it was the most pressure he'd
ever felt going into a game.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
So, all right, the NFL wins.
Speaker 11 (29:41):
The first two, Okay, they go down and they won
the second one Packers, and that was Vince's last game
when he beats the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Last game is coach of the Packers. So then we
come to Super Bowl three, and because of.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
What Vince had accomplished the first two years, all the
bookmakers out here made the Colts an eighteen point favorite.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Okay, an eighteen point favor.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Okay, you talk about easy money if you were a
Jets fan, Okay, and you do Vinnie down in the
bar or something.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
You know what I'm saying. So it was stunning.
Speaker 11 (30:20):
Earl Morrile, Johnny uniis both quarterbacking. The Colts couldn't get
it done, and the Jets one going away, And now
suddenly that forces the hand. We got to have a
complete merger between the old AFL and the NFL. It
is the most important game in the history of the league,
bar one. I mean that in the first one, because
(30:41):
the Packers were able to beat the Chiefs in Super
Bowl One.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
We're talking of Brett Musburger, the Hall of Famer, the
state of where we are.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Can you have too much football? It's a good question,
you know.
Speaker 11 (30:55):
We'll see what the ratings are with the Spring league
coming up, Dan, We'll want watch and see what eyeballs.
I mean, I'm as amazed as these folks are out
here at what Taylor Swift was able.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
To accomplish with the ratings this year.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
I mean, like the fact that she's around or not,
it's irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
It has been great for the NFL.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
It has been I can't believe how many youngsters now
watch the games because of her.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
They follow her, and it's a demographic that's been added
to the league.
Speaker 11 (31:28):
So certainly, certainly what we've come through out of COVID
in that and I don't think so right now, not
with the National Football League and and of course the
commissioner announcing on Monday that the Eagles are going to
go down and be one of They'll be the home
team in Brazil on that Friday. Now that's another night.
You know, Thursday will be the opening the champion. Sunday
(31:52):
will host the game on Thursday, but then Friday, the
Eagles will host the game down to Brazil, and then
on Sunday everybody will be an action and there would
be finally a game on Monday.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
One of our favorite moments, you were in the booth
with Kirk Kirk Street and Eminem came into the booth.
Speaker 11 (32:10):
I was so hoping he'd make it to the Super
Bowl so we could have both he and Taylor Swift
singing the national anthem.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You know, I just thought that, Okay, how much did
you know about Eminem when he came into the booth.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I knew his name and that was about it.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Okay, Well you kept calling him Mathers.
Speaker 11 (32:27):
Oh yeah, you know, you know it was interesting Mathers.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
He wasn't high. Now everybody thinks he was, because he came.
Speaker 11 (32:40):
In the standing between Herbstree and me, and he was
not familiar with the monitors, so he was looking at
himself and he kind of froze on the on the
camera and everybody came, oh right, you had Eminem on it.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
And he was so hot, I say he was, you
know he Oh no, it was.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
We laugh now that you tell me that, because he's
like looking and his eyes are big, and.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Eyes are huge, and he's looking at himself.
Speaker 11 (33:06):
Okay, you know, because we've got the monitors there.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
I thought he was.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He was having He was kind of mocking you guys,
are like messing with you guys.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Oh, not at all, not at all. But you could
have been nicer.
Speaker 11 (33:18):
And also he was he was a knowledgeable fan, you know,
and I and when you see him at the Lions games,
and that he knows what's going on out there.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
So he wasn't high, but you and Herb Street were
high when you were. The only game is that.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
Don't give away by secrets. These are my good friends
out here. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You haven't done a gummy in a while, right. We
were wondering about a football hall of fame. Basketball has
a basketball Hall of Fame, so you can be a
great college player and go into the basketball Hall of Fame.
We're great, you know. You know then you are an
NBA player. Football doesn't have that. Would you like to
(33:58):
see a universal football hall of Fame? So Tim Tebow's
in the Hall of Fame. Cam Newton is in the
Hall of Fame. Johnny Manziel would be in the Hall
of Fame because what they did in college.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
That's interesting. I never I'd never thought about it. And
because we have Canton.
Speaker 11 (34:14):
Yeah, for the NFL, and that's a that's a wonderful
hall of fame for football.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Are you in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Not that I know of. I was on Gummery when I.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
So contributions to the game. You started the pregame show.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah, that's an interesting story, because would you like me
to write a letter on your behalf. I did this
for John Facenda because I said, it's a travesty that
the voice of the NFL is not in the Hall
of Fame. And I give them credit. They responded to
me and they put him in the Hall of Fame.
You know what I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna I'm
(34:52):
gonna you should be No, I'm serious, If I would
do that, I give I would do that. You should
be in the profile.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
You you were the first pregame show.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Brent, you've been now pissed off. You know that you're
not in the Hall of Fame. Okay, but you know,
let me work on that. Let me work on you.
You should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fact
contributions to the game.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
You should be.
Speaker 11 (35:18):
I want to take you back to the first pregame
show that we did. Okay, as to how it started.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Now, can I take a break? Sure, and then we
come back and give you a little bit more time. Sure, Okay,
we'll come back. We'll come back with the future Pro
Football Hall of Famer Brent Musburger right after this and
The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern, six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Hall of Famer and maybe one of these days in
the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brent Musburger, Managing editor
of Vison and Countdown to kick Off with Brent.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
That'll be Sunday.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Morning's Neon East and it's the Sports Betting Network. Find
out more at vsi N dot com. All right, before
the break, you were telling us when you started the
first pregame show.
Speaker 11 (36:10):
Yeah, we had announcers who went to the games to
do halftime in postgame, you know, and I was one
and We got a call from the head of sports
at CBS, Bob Wessler, and he said, Brent, you know
Jack Whitaker and Pat Summer ale Tapa show on Friday. Okay,
he said, but I want to eliminate that and go
(36:32):
live for the thirty minutes. Okay, And he said, do
you know IRV Cross? And I laughed and I said
I know him very well because we were at Northwestern
together and.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
I was a a Gopher.
Speaker 11 (36:48):
Really for the Daily Northwestern, the sports editor was upperclassman,
and so I would have to go get quotes from
a coach, Eric Parsigan, who was there before he went
to Notre Dame and Irv. And I said, Irv is lightful.
It's a lightful man. And I said, hey, of an athlete.
So it was going to be the two of us.
And about six weeks later, I get a call from
(37:09):
mister Westler and he said, Brent, do you know a
Miss America by the name of Phyllis Jor And I go,
I'm sorry, but I really don't follow the Miss America pageant.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I said, if you ask me who the.
Speaker 11 (37:23):
Quarterback is for the Colts, I might be able to
tell you. And he said, I want to bring her
in on the show. Now, I'm I'm so, I'm not
going to say no, you know, let's do it. And
it was a great addition because Irv and I had
rehearsed and practiced in halftime. We knew how to do
the highlights and all that. But Phyllis was one of
(37:44):
those special personalities Dan She lit up a room. And
at that time, there were no women's sportscasters around. Okay,
there was a Jane Hastain was working at it down
in Miami, and that was the only one I remember.
But the folks, the men in particular, they welcomed Phyllis
on a Sunday morning and she wound up being a
(38:04):
just a great host. And then the next year the summer,
I get a call Brent, you know a gambler by
the name of Jimmy the Greek, And I said, are
you kidding? When I stopped by Las Vegas, of course
I know the Greek. I want to put him on
the show. And I hesitated there and I said, was
the commissioner. I think, oh, we're going to have a
(38:26):
meeting with him.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
He's going to be fine.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Now.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
The one thing I knew about Pete Roselle. I'd always
see him at the Kentucky Derby. I knew he was
a horse player at acts, I said, well, he knows
a little bit of a gambling So we had a
delightful Meetia was wastler of the Greek and Brent over
in Park Avenue. The NFL office could not have been nicer.
And we get up to leave and he said one thing.
(38:48):
He said, I'd like to ask a favor. Now, when
a commissioner tells the three of us a favor, you
know it's an order coming down the line. Okay, he said,
I want you guys, when you do your show, please
don't mentioned minus three plus seven.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Now look, I'm thinking, wait a minute.
Speaker 11 (39:05):
That's that's the whole point of this. So but we
all say yes, sir, Yes, sir, yes sir. And on
the way back we said what are we going to do?
And we brought in some of the technical people. We
rehearsed and they managed to devise the checkboard for the
Greek people who remember those early days, okay, and if
the Greek checked.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
About four on one side, you knew it was cover seven.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
That team's going to cover the deal.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Like oh.
Speaker 11 (39:31):
And then one day but three years later the Greek
Greek took ill and couldn't make the show. We found
out on Saturday and I said, well, listen, my friend
Pete Rose is in town. And I knew he liked
to gamble on anything that moved. So I called Pete
and I said, Pete, I know this is Brett. I said,
listen to a favor. Can you come over? And so
he came over, and to this day when I run
(39:54):
into him, he said, you should have kept me. I
was a better handic epper than the Greek that was.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
That was is my guy, Pete Rose. Okay, should Pete
be in the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 11 (40:05):
Absolutely, and I would put an asterisk at the bottom
of it. I think the bottom of the plaque should
read he was suspended and whatever the year was for
gambling on baseball. I think it should be in there.
I don't think you should ignore history, and that's part
of history.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah. And also, you know if he bet when he
was playing, then I understand that if he manipulated games,
I know what he did as a manager, but I
still have to It's like when you cheat in grad school.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
I can't take away what.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
You did in your undergrad exactly and that's why you know,
I look at Pete and those are two separate things.
