Final hour in this meet. Friday Dan and the Danette Dan Patrick show coming up. He is the Heisman finalist with the Oregon Ducks. Dylan Gabriel, their quarterback, will join us. They wait to see who they're going to play. You know what? I have the spreads say Ohio State plays Oregon in the next round. Ohio State would be getting one and a half. Let's say Texas would play Arizona State. Texas would be favored by 11 and a half if Clemson played Arizona State. Clemson would be favored by four and a half if Tennessee gets by Ohio State. Tennessee will be a six and a Half point underdog against Oregon, which is close to what they are with Ohio State. Notre Dame has Indiana. Notre Dame, if they face Georgia, Notre Dame would be favored by two. Yes. Indiana would be a six and a half point underdog against Georgia. Penn State. Penn State has smu. If SMU wins, SMU would be favored by five and a half against Boise State. Penn State would be favored by 12 and a half against Boise State. This is the second round of the college football playoffs. This is the what if scenario in these first round matchups. Yes, Paul, it goes back to what you said on Monday. If Vegas seeded this, it'd be completely different. Yes. SMU is the 11 seed. Boise is a 3 seed. SMU would be the favorite. Yes. Also, some of the first round lines are a little. They feel a little bloated because this is the first time there's been home field advantage in any of these games. So it tacks on three points. And I think what college football was going to be looking at is to have these extra games. They're bowl games, but to have these extra games, they want to make sure that they're selling these games out. Is Penn State, SMU going to be a sellout? Is Notre Dame, Indiana a sellout? Probably would be because it's all in Indiana. Like, this is. What they're concerned about is fan bases who are going to travel for a couple of games, making sure that when you do get to that championship or the semifinals that you're filling up these stadiums. That's important. But I do think we will get to 12 teams in the playoffs. The top four teams, they will be automatic buys. And then you have everybody else the rankings. Then after that you'll have your matchups. And I think that would be fun to be able to watch the rankings and then wonder how they got to the point where I would just have Vegas rank the teams. At the end of the year, Vegas thinks this team has the best chance. Vegas thinks this team has the worst chance. So they're objective. There's no bias whatsoever. There's no secret committee in there where somebody's going, I think this, you know, should happen. And then we never know why. But if Vegas does it, there's no mystery. They're just saying, hey, these are the odds. This is who we think should be the favorite. And on down the line. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner. It is a meat Friday smoked Mississippi pot roast. Man, it smells good. You got the garlic mashed potatoes, roasted green beans with bacon who has it better than we do? Nobody. All right. As I've mentioned all week long, the calendars, the autograph calendars are sold out. There was 500 of those that we sign. But we do have some other calendars. We have some beautiful flannels. There's tailgate moonshine in there as well. Go to danpatrick.com Sunday night on NBC. And Peacock, it'll be Green Bay and Seattle. Boy, that's a really big game. Really big game. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program spent a lot of time looking at the Rams, Niners. The fallout from that, devondre Campbell walking off the field in the second half not wanting to play. The Rams now eight and six. The Niners are done at six and eight. Maybe. No, they have a low chance, not no chance, but very, very low chance of still a playoff. Hope alive with the Niners. But The Rams rating 6 not in the playoffs. But boy, if they get in there, I think they knock somebody off. North Carolina dominated the news cycle yesterday, introducing Bill Belichick as the new head coach. And let me see, is there anything I want to bring to your attention with. Oh, Bill was asked the following question about why is he still coaching at 72? Why do you want to keep coaching? What's in it for you? You've proven yourself over and over in your legacy of sale. Why keep coaching? Well, beats working. You know, when you love what you do, and my dad told me this, when you love what you do, it's not work. Okay. His dad made that up. Yeah. Gosh, I always wondered where that came from. But it was his dad that. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Todd, is he hurting for money? It beats working. I think he could retire at this point. That was a strange answer to me. Retirement sucks. Like, you don't want to retire. He's got a chance to do this. Somebody's going to pay him $10 million. His son is on the coaching staff. I mean, yes, why not? Somebody actually wants you to coach their team, their program, that's why you do it. Yes. Marv, retiring from a job you love sucks. Yes. Like, I don't want to retire. I mean, I got three more years and then I'll move to the side. Let somebody else who should be doing it. Just like I felt at SportsCenter, I had done it too long. Somebody younger should have been in there doing it, plain and simple. And I'll move aside. But I still love. I get to go to work. I get to go to a job. I don't have to go to a job. And that's what Bill is saying. He gets to go to that job and reinvigorates, you know, you go through the, you know, the mundane of, you know, New England with the Patriots, probably, and then all of a sudden, at the end of your coaching career there, and then it's not going well, and then all of a sudden the Kraft family wants more control, and then they kick you to the curb. Somebody wants you. He's like, yes, yes. It's like a 23 year old saying, hey, do you want to go out? Yes, Todd. But he didn't say it beats retirement. He said it beats working. Like it was either that job or the accounting position in the cubicle. Well, he wasn't going to be working. He was going to be retired, and he doesn't want to retire. That's. I think that's what he's saying. Yes. Pauline? Yeah. I'll bet you the past year hasn't been awful for him because he got to be on some cool shows and make some good money. But there's no competition, there's no buzz, there's no juice. The past year, he's just talking football without the payoff of Sundays. Yeah. Having that, there's nothing that replicates that. You talk to these guys. It's like when Drew Brees joined us on Football Night in America, or he would be in studio. And I said, it's sterile. It's sterile. The only way it can be interesting is if you go out into the field and you're calling a game, then you're that close. You're able to watch, you're able to talk to quarterbacks and coaches. You're more involved in the studio. It is sterile. It is boring. But when you're out at the game, that's why Brady, I think, wanted to call games. He'd be better probably in a studio, but he wanted to be out there where all the action is. And I get it, because having talked to guys who have done it, it's just you're so far removed from the game when you're in a studio, as opposed when you're doing the game, you're in the atmosphere, you're in the building, you're talking to the people who are making these plays, making these decisions. Andy in Rhode Island. Hi, Andy. What's on your mind today? Hey, good morning. Dan and Danette. Hope you all are doing great. Dan, I can already see your voice on the NFL films with Bill Belichick and his life and his legacy. I can already see it gonna be such a great thing. And, you know, he's a smart guy. He's not a slouch, and I feel that there's just a new chapter for him. I think, you know, it might be a little overblown, that people might look into it so deep that they think, oh, you know, like, Belichick, like, what is he doing? But in a sense, maybe, you know, for him to be around a younger crowd and understand the game in a different aspect and in a sense, following his dad's footsteps, I feel that that's what he's doing. Yeah, I. Once again, I don't. I don't think there's any downside to this. For North Carolina, you became relevant. How many schools are irrelevant college football programs that you don't even factor them in? It's not that they're not bad. It's just. There's nothing about. There's no buzz. They have a buzz there. They're going to have that there. People are going to tune in to see him win or tune in to see him lose. And he's got his son, who's going to be taking over. I mean, Colorado was dormant, and what happened? You got Dion, and you became relevant. You got game day out there. You got Fox noon, kickoff out there. Everybody wanted to go there. Belichick said yesterday he spoke with Michael Jordan. I mean, okay, here we go. We got something here. I don't know if it leads to a playoff berth, but it. It. They're at least in the conversation, you at least acknowledge them. And I think that's. If you're North Carolina, that's money well spent. And then I don't. I don't like the, hey, you got to hire me. And then now I got Belichick's contract sent to me yesterday. There's a lot of things in there. I. I sent. I sent it over. Only a portion I sent to the Danettes. I don't know if this has been made public, and I didn't want to put it out there, but I did get Belichick's contract. There's something in there. If the grade point average is over 2.7, I think he gets $100,000. All right, relax. You're not getting that one. There's a lot of details in there, man. It's like, wow. It's like five pages of just. If you do this, you get this eight wins, you get this nine wins, you get this 10 wins, a bowl game, playoffs. Yes. Paulie. Yeah. If his players have a 2.7 GPA or above 50 grand 3.0 and above $150,000. But that said, if you have players with that high of a gpa, how good can the team be? I want a nice 2.2 line. Wait, what you're saying is you can't be smart and good at football. You can be smart and good, not smart and great. Okay. You imagine you people say, why are you, why are you signing that kid? He's got a 4.2 grade point average. He's going to bring my, my grade point average up. Yeah. Yes. I think you could be smart and great, but you're definitely not going to class. There's no way I'm not going to class. I was neither and I didn't go to class. Same. It's like that class just. And it never fails. My senior year, I go, this is the year I get up in 8:00 class. I'm going to get up and go to Larry Lane's journalism class. I think I went three times. First day, midterm and final. What a, what a loser I was. Yes, Paul. If Belichick leads UNC to a playoff appearance, he gets $750,000. The next win in the playoffs is a million. The following win is 1.25 million. If he wins the national title, he gets another 1.7 million. That's money well spent. Like you said, money well spent. Yes, yes. You know, can he relate? I like, I don't know. He develops players. I mean, look at the guys. What did he do with Julian Edelman? He was a quarterback in the Mac. You know, even Brady developing him, he just, he knows what he's doing. And I'm assuming they're going to have a really good defense. I think it's going to be so much fun because schematically he's able to go, I can have some fun here. And I think that's really the important part is it just reinvigorates. And he talked about developing young players yesterday. If you look at the players we had in the NFL, Tom Brady was the fourth string quarterback his rookie year. He didn't exactly come in as, you know, with any play time at all. You know, Gronkowski, he, you know, didn't do too much his rookie year. Julian Edelman played quarterback in college, then he was a wide receiver and then he was a punt returner. So developing players is, you know, something that Michael and I believe strongly in. And we'll support that with the staff and we'll support that. With the program, there's a lot of opportunity and room for growth for all players. Yes, Mike Lombardi is going to be his GM there. We'll take a break. We come back more phone calls on this meet Friday. We'll talk to the Oregon quarterback Dylan Gabriel after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Couple of phone calls waiting for Dylan Gabriel, the Oregon quarterback, to connect with us. The Heisman Trophy finalist Jim in Nebraska. Hi Jim. What's on your mind today? Six foot softly set 230. I can die a happy man now, Dan. I am a retired educator who spent 20 years teaching middle school kids and I think I'm uniquely qualified to talk about Friday Fritzie and the Dan ets. Oh, okay. He is that kid in class. He's acting up. Nothing serious, but just annoying. And I love Fritzi. I gotta preface this, but all the other kids, as I'm watching on Peacock, you know, Seaton a laugh. Paulie cringes. But it's Marvin who is just deadpan shaking his head, thinking what everyone else is thinking. Why? Just why? Well, thank you, Jim. Thank you for that assessment of the danettes. Marvin, are you always thinking why? There are times when. Yeah, I'm like, he said that out loud. I think that all the time with fritzing, especially when it's Friday Fritzie. Sometimes you get Friday, Fritzy on a Thursday. Then you're in trouble. Then you know it's going to be a long show. But, hey, I'm very lucky to have him. There's nobody else like him. Very unique. Very unique. We love Fritzie. Fritzie, while you're out of the room, we were saying nice things about you. Darn it. Yeah. Yeah. You missed it. Dylan Gabriel, Oregon quarterback, Heisman trophy finalist, and joining us. Are you in New York? I am. I am. I'm in a hotel room and excited. Are you been in New York before? I have once, but definitely not this type of way. Okay. What do you want to see? You got to. You got to walk around a little bit. I'm. I'm actually going to be asking some of the New York natives here to kind of show me around. Of course, Central Park, Times squares right down the street. So check that out. Last night and then this morning, made a little way to the Nike store, so got a little bit of scenery. Okay. What are your expectations on what will happen on Saturday night at the ceremony? What will be is. Is what it'll be. I think, you know, whoever wins, man, that's such a big blessing. But just to be here as well, just to connect with those guys, that's gonna be a lot of fun. And should we get to enjoy New York together? So it'll be a lot of fun. Okay, but the camera's gonna be on you. So when they call Travis Hunter's name, just, you know, just make sure that you're smiling like. Yeah, you know, you got invited. You're playing for maybe a national championship. That's more important than this. So just so you know. And do we have the outfit already picked out of what we're wearing tomorrow? We do. We do. I'm a. You know, I'm a. Style it up a little bit. I think I'll catch some people by surprise. Not to hype it up too much, but, you know, I'll make sure I make it do what it do, at least from a fashion standpoint. Okay, here's the thing. This will be played years from now, so whatever you're wearing, just understand. Ten years from now, they're going to say, oh, remember the Heisman ceremony when Dylan Gabriel wore that in a good way, hopefully. Well, let's just say. Let's just say it's not going to be like the NBA in 2005 with those oversized suits. So I definitely do that one. So I think that feel pretty good. Okay. When you guys were watching The Selection Sunday show and you saw kind of where you guys were going to be. I'm not sure if you had the same reaction I had is, damn, they put some tough teams in front of you if you guys are going to win a national title. Felt like it was a little unfair. Dylan, how did you and your teammates feel? Totally out of our control. I think naturally, it being the first year, there's definitely going to be some things they'll have to work on. But in terms of our team and what we got ahead of us, I think it's going to be a lot of fun, you know, being able to be in the Rose Bowl. Like I said, we can't really control, you know, what teams we do play, but, you know, we're in the playoffs, so there's going to be a lot of great teams and you look forward to whatever matchup comes your way. But like I said, I think there will be some conversations down the road and some cleaning up in that sense. But, you know, it is what it is, and we're excited either way. You predate Covid and nil. That's how long you've been in college. Take me back to that freshman year, that quarterback, compared to who you are now. Are you saying I'm old? You. You're college old. I am college old. No, I'll say this. 2019 was. Was so different from what it is today in college football. You know, I think the innocence of college football was still there. The, you know, remembering when, you know, you're living off the coa check semester to semester, which honestly was decent at the time, but compared to what it is now, you just have a lot of appreciation knowing that I was able to go through kind of both sides of that. Okay, what was the money like your freshman year? What's the money like now? I could tell you freshman year. I can't tell you now, but freshman year it was like $2,500 a semester. Okay. So you get, you know, five grand a year, and of course there's money for rent and stuff like that, but. And then you go to fast forward. I think I'll leave that to everyone else's imagination. But you know, even my sophomore year, going through Covid, you know, interesting season, and then, you know, utilizing the portal, which is what I've done in, you know, my junior year and even up until this year, and then nil, so I've kind of seen it all in that sense and kind of had the fun of pre. All this thing happening and then, you know, enjoying it. Post as well. You don't have any more eligibility after this year, right? I don't. I could probably ask for it and see, but that'll be declined real fast. And that leather jacket you got on looks like it does that nil leather jacket. It might be Uncle Phil and Nike, man, but no, I'm always rocking the Nike swoosh. And, you know, us being at Oregon, there's only one way to do it. But when you go to the Nike plant or Nike headquarters, can you just walk in and just say, I got a shopping cart and pick up stuff? Well, this morning we. We did walk in at Nike in New York. So like I said, I'll leave that to your imagination. But they take care of it. Oregon will win the national title if prepare the right way and take care of business. You know, we got to be present, too. I think Coach Landing said it the best, and that's why I love playing for him. Is, you know, it is win or go home, and you got to take care of business right where your feet are. You know, in the present moment, I think it's so easy for a lot of teams to look forward, you know, and not only the first game, but the semifinals, the national championship. It's like, hey, you got to take care of business right where your feet are. You know, we got the rose bowl here January 1st, and I think if we stay present, we prepare the right way, then the rest will take care of itself. Congrats on the season. Have fun on Saturday. Hair looks good. Hair looks good. Yeah. I mean, I got one question for you. Okay. How was the happy Gilmore 2 filming? I heard it was good. Yep. I shot that last Thursday, and it was. It was fun. It's a. You know, Sandler's put me in a lot of his movies, so. And this has got a. An interesting plot twist that I didn't think that you would have. With Happy Gilmore, too. Just saying. It'll be a big blockbuster, but it's fun. It's. You know, whenever you're around Sandler, it's always a good time. Well, if you ever need extra. Oh, in a movie. I'm. I'm working on my acting skills, so I would love to. If you needed one. You know, my. My acting skills are subpar. Bit average. But I think maybe I could get some coaching from you and maybe we can make it happen. Are you acting now? In this moment? Yeah. No. But if you need me to, because I'm. I'm acting now. How about this? I want you to act. Okay. Here you go, I want you to act happy for Travis Hunter. Tomorrow night, I want you to act. So when I say, I'm Chris Fowler and I'm up there, and I say, and the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner, Colorado's Travis Hunter, what if Addison wins it? Then I gotta act. You gotta act there, too. I got you. Wait, you missed your cue to act. The camera was on you. You go, damn. I don't know if you look happy for him. Okay, you can't vote for yourself. Who would you vote for for the Heisman Trophy? Oh, I'm gonna get some heat for this one, but I'm gonna say Aston Jenti. And I say that because me being at the group of five once, knowing, you know, the challenges that come with that, of course, I played against Aston this year. I think he's a talented individual. You know, his story is unique, and what he's been able to do is pretty impressive. And you put me in a spot. So. I think this. This may be quoted, but, no, I do think, you know, he's extremely worthy of it and a guy who's. Well, you don't have to worry about facing Travis Hunter, though. So, like, if you said, oh, I wouldn't have voted for him. I'd vote for, you know, gentee. And then you had to play Colorado, and then Travis Hunter is going to say, I'm going to pick off a couple of your passes, so you don't have to worry about that until you get to the NFL. I know. Then we'll maybe see each other then. You gotta. You gotta watch your words now. You don't know who you'll play. Oh, yeah, I know. I know. All right, well, you know what? Act like a Heisman finalist when you have your first game, whoever that's going to be against. So that's either Tennessee or Ohio State. I like that. Yeah. Hey, we'll see. We'll see what happens. Congrats. Have fun in New York. All right. Thank you. That's Dylan Gabriel, Oregon quarterback, Heisman finalist. Yeah. Wants to get into the movies. Yeah. Get in line. Gotta help him a little bit there. Yeah. Paul, he is one of the last college athletes that predates nil. When you brought it up, I was like, is that correct? But, yeah, 2019. He's played 63 college football games. They will face Oregon. Oregon has Ohio State or Tennessee in the quarterfinal game. That'll be the Rose bowl on New Year's Day. They quietly went undefeated. When you think about all the topics we've talked about with college Football this year, Oregon is not number one on that list of all the Oregon, it was like Ryan Day losing to Michigan. Travis Hunter with what he's going to do and win the Heisman Trope Ashton Gentee is he going to, you know, match Barry Sanders it Alabama not making the playoffs like all of these things. Then it's oh, by the way, Oregon and they, the, the selection committee did not do them any favors with who they're going to have to go through to win the national title. Yes, Marvin, this feels like last season in women's college basketball where we talked about Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. A lot of the season South Carolina was the best team and we couldn't name anybody off of them. Marvin brought that up the other day. It's like everybody's talking about Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark and all of a sudden it's South Carolina number one team in the country and nobody can name any, any player on their team. It's just like Don Staley's like, you guys. Yeah, go ahead, give them awards. Give them all the attention, all of that. We'll win a national championship over here. Nate in Colorado. Hi Nate. What's on your mind today? Morning, gentlemen. Hey, Dan, you brought it up a couple times today and it's even in the open about how pre Bill Belichick is and he doesn't go to any situation that he's not. I mean the man made a 400 page essay. Yeah. To get this job. Yeah. Everybody keeps bringing up that you're only as good as your quarterback and nobody knows who his quarterback's going to be. I firmly believe that he knows who his quarterback's going to be. And I firmly believe that Arch Manning will announce that he is transferring to North Carolina as soon as Texas is eliminated or wins the maddie. All right, well, Nate, if that happens, I will give you credit. We'll have you back on and ask you about your great prediction there. Is it 400 piece document? Is that Belichick? Well, Belichick was asked about did he actually prepare, you know, basically his thesis on North Carolina football. Just curious. There were reports that you had prepared a document or organizational bible. Are those, were those accurate? I reserve a follow up if the answer is yeah. I mean don't believe everything you read in the papers. All right. I have no idea where that came from. I don't have a 400 page document. I mean to think I was just going handed. I mean, come on. Really? Okay, Bill, cracking him up, man. That's funny too because we just had somebody on yesterday, who was like, well, when he shows up with a 400 ring binder, that's a. You gotta know you're in trouble, like, so it's not even true. Who came up with this? Let's get the it. Okay, here's another one. I asked the I team to be on this. Oh, boy. I don't know if I'm allowed to say the red zone anymore. Now they're saying what, the red area? Yeah, Tom Brady said that the other day. Like, and. And then they got into the red area, and I'm like, wait, it's called the red zone. Tim Tebow just said it the other day, too. He's like, well, you know, when they're down there in the red area, like, red area. What the hell? Did. Did somebody trademark this now? And I can't say. It's like, Super Bowl. You got to call it the big game. And now. Oh, my God. Investigation. The motto of our news team is, we don't break news. We sprayed it. Let's go to the newsroom, Paulie. So the term red zone for the end zone area has been used for years and years. It's been used by TV networks. It's been a show on NFL Network now lately, the past four or five years. Red area is catching on. I go back to 2018. I can find that Nick Saban started using the phrase red area in press conferences, and it caught on down south. So that may be the origin of red area. Well, I was thinking maybe he would say the crimson area instead of the red area. I can find no legal preventation of using red zone, though. Okay, back to you. But why is Tom Brady call it the red area? Are we allowed to call it the red zone? Or is that the new thing? Like, there's a new terminology. It's like you got to call it the red area, but the red zone. Still called the red zone. Scott Hansen's not going to go. Well, welcome to the red area. So, Todd, did you reach out to the NFL? I was going to, but I was hesitant because. I know we told you to. I know, but there have been so many times where I was just kind of poking the bear where they thought I was trying to start something up. I just felt like, you know, I don't know where my relationship. It's not like the commissioner's not going to come on our show, Don. That's a valid point. So you can just got to pick my spots. Yeah. Yes, Paul, I did find out. I went to the US Government website and found out that phrase or had been trademarked. NFL red zone was trademarked in August of 2009. Okay. The phrase red zone trademark, it appears by the NFL, but it's been being used by everybody for the past 10 years. Okay. I don't want to get in trouble. Trademark. I don't want to cease and desist the red region. That flows better. Let's you're damn patch. I don't know if I want to call it the red region. The red region. Yes. Come here. I want to show you my red region. Right? Yeah. Doctor, take a look at this. It's also a place where we could score touchdowns or a place where we can no longer score the red region. Thank you. Okay, I think we've done enough. Nobody covers football. Nobody covers sports the way we do. Nobody. Okay, we take a break. Last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store tomorrow.

Yeah, that's it. That's a bonus. In or out. Final results of the poll question. We're so busy, I don't think I asked for any updates throughout the last two hours. Seaton. Well, that's okay. Don't worry about it. Okay, let's see. Well, I might as well start with this. If. Which is worse, cheating or quitting? Right now, 63% of the audience have quitting. And if you're Brock Purdy, do you want every dime you can get or cap space? 65% of that audience say every dime. You can guess. All right, all right. I thought it might be fit, Fitty, fitty. But I understand it. You don't want to tell somebody else about their money or that what they go for. But I'm just saying, you know, as Ron Rivera, former NFL coach, said he wouldn't pay Brock Purdy the full boat there, that he's really good when he has all the pieces in place around him and he's a game manager, which he is, but he can be really good at that. High level at that. I just don't want to be paying $60 million for Brock Purdy. Because if you say this, if I. If I take away all the talent around the Bengals, and I say, but you have Joe Burrow, what do you say? We got a chance, right? I mean, yeah. If I said take everybody away from the Chiefs and you got Patrick Mahomes, you're in, right? Josh Allen in Buffalo, you're in. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore, you're in. If I said Jared Goff in Detroit, in Ish, maybe. Not in. Brock Purdy not in. If you're just starting with Brock Purdy, you're not in. Yeah, Pauline. It's weird, though, because Purdy feels like he's good plus, not good minus. Remember Mitch Trubisky with the Bears? For the Bears, he was a pretty good quarterback for the Bears, but they didn't resign him because he didn't feel like the real deal. Full boat. Purdy leans higher than that. Clearly higher. Than that. And there's, like you said, there's no middle ground. Yes. It's not very nice, that comparison to Mitch Rock Birdie and Mitch Trubisky. I gotta say, that's just not. That's where. Not necessary. That's where you draw the line. Yeah, I mean, the kids. Give him a chance. I mean, well, he went from the last pick in the draft to maybe making $45 million. That's gotta be tough, though, if you're like. Like, you know, if you guys don't give me more than that, I'm gonna go test the waters. Like, go ahead. I don't know. It feels like, go ahead. It feels like somebody would go, yeah, we'll pay you that kind of money. Really? I don't know. There's always. Whenever you say, well, you know, nobody's gonna, you know, sign that guy, hire that guy, whatever. And then there's always that team that goes, you know, we see something in him. If I'm in his shoes, and it's like, well, I want 45. And they're like, how about 37? I'm like, well, I guess I'll take 37 million a year, but I'm not going to be happy about it. Like, what? Yeah, I was looking for a Juan Soto deal. Yeah, 35. That's it. Well, I guess I will. Will they give him a suite? Like the Yankees wouldn't give him a suite and that was one of the reasons why he's going to the Mets? Is that it? I don't know. Plenty of open suites at a City Field. Yes. Yeah. Do you want. Oh, you only want one? Yes, you can. I do love that. Like. So, have you talked to any of the Yankees players? I talked to none of those guys. Yeah, I think they were asking if he talked. Aaron Judge. He's like, no, I didn't talk to any of those guys. Why would I? No. Do you see the way those guys played in the postseason? No, I had to get away from them. Remember the fifth inning, the Ravens. Maybe I should drop a line to Aaron. Oh, drop a line. Yeah, I got it. Too soon. Michael K. Wants to talk to you. Michael K. Is not happy with you. The Ravens are 16 and a half point favorites against the Giants. Is that the biggest spread this year? I mean, it's kind of late in the show to be asking that question. Sixteen and a half. Can you think of somebody else who was favored by more? Paulie, I think that's right. I can't find any spreads over 13 and a half this season dang. Minus 16 and a half this day in sports history. What do you have for me? She's got a couple. Let's see. The rights to the first four Super Bowls were sold in 1966 to CBS and NBC for a total of $9.5 million. 1956, Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers was traded to the Giants for a pitcher and he retired instead of going to the Giants. And that's it. That's good. The Mitchell Report came out on this day in 2007. That's when they had 89 baseball players who presumably used steroids and HGH. Charles Woodson on this date won the Heisman Trophy. The first predominantly defensive player to win the Heisman. And of course, I love bringing this up because I remember I was really excited about it. 1983, the highest scoring game in NBA history. Pistons beat the Nuggets 186 to 184 in three overtimes. And Kiki Vanderway led everybody with 51 points. Luke in Texas. Hi, Luke. Hey, Dan. Hey, Danette. Hey, Luke. Hey, Dan. This thing with the red zone. Yeah. This started back, I think a little bit further than the Nick Saban thing. I, I can't remember how long back it started, but this came from Teddy Brewski. At one point he just became adamant about not saying the word red zone. And I don't, I don't remember why, but he hates the term and he will not use it. And he never really, to my knowledge, explained why. He, he made some comment about. He had. He hates the fact that we use. We over use the word zone. And so he will not use the word red zone. Okay. I hope he's not a basketball coach for maybe his kids, because they're not going to play zone and be like, go out there. You don't guard anybody. You just kind of stand in areas. Wait, that's called a zone? No, we don't say zone. We don't use them. Yes. Paul. According to the Washington Post, Joe Gibbs, the former Redskins coach, first used the term red zone in the media. Todd, what'd you learn today? It would be very hard to believe if you told us in August the Niners would miss the playoffs and Bill Belichick would be the North Carolina head coach. Seaton, what did you learn? Ron Rivera says Brock Purdy's a game manager. Marvin. Bill Belichick did not have a 400 page manifesto. Paul. Dylan Gabriel. Funny kid. Sliding into the weekend.
