Dan Beyer
Let's get it Monday because I just came from America's Dairyland, spent the last week in my home state of Wisconsin and they were head over heels, head over heels when the news broke on Thursday that Micah Parsons was going to be a member of the Green and Gold being traded by the packers to the Dallas Cowboys. And now it's a whole new world for the Green Bay packers as they have an enormous difference, an enormous difference maker on that side of the football to complement what Jordan Love and the offense are going to try to do. Bonafide superstar Micah Parsons now lining up on defense for the Packers.
- [05:06]
Monty Belanos
You know, before this trade even happened, Dan, I we were sitting here and I had a one liner where I said in that division, the packers should have the most pressure right now to come in and win it you are facing a team that is starting with a brand new rookie quarterback in J. Well, rookie, but not, you get what I'm saying? And JJ McCarthy who spent his first year injured. You've got the Lions losing both of their offensive coordinators. And not that I think they're going to be bad, but I think it's going to take a minute to get back in their groove with new offensive coordinators. And then I don't know what Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams relationship is. I just think they may have similar personalities where I wonder how truly it's going to come out on the field for them. And so the easy team to, to put pressure on before this move even happened was the Green Bay Packers. You were already successful last year in a very tough division and you were bas running it back. And so before getting Michael Parsons, I thought the pressure was on them, on them. Now I'm like, oh, you better come out of the NFC as a number one seed.
- [06:06]
Dan Beyer
That target is on their back. And I think that most years, Monty, we think it's whoever made it to the super bowl from that conference. Right. Like, for as much as we don't know if the Chiefs are going to be back or not, the road to the super bowl still goes through Kansas City in the afc, obviously with the Eagles as the super bowl champions. I think that it's a no brainer or would be a no brainer that the road to the super bowl in the NRC goes through Philadelphia. But I think that you're onto something. I agree. When you push in your chips like that and we can get to the breakdown of, of the chips that were actually pushed in. Just the fact that Green Bay says we're gonna go and get this player and get that player changes everything. Because now it's. You're in, you're not only are you in win now mode like you have been the last couple of years, but you are now in win big now mode. And I think that you're absolutely right with that, that target on, on their back because of this Micah Parsons deal. And there's really now no more excuses for Green Bay when you push in all these chips.
- [07:10]
Monty Belanos
Obviously they, they saw the, the pressure. They saw that they had a, a real chance to just not only win the division, but win the NFC and get to the super bowl by making this move for Michael Parsons. But the, the target on the back, 100%. Dan, I.
- [07:28]
Commercial Announcer
You.
- [07:28]
Monty Belanos
You said that and I think that's the right expression. That is a target on the back which I hadn't worded it that way, but now with Micah Parsons. Oh yeah, no, everyone is wanting to take the packers down because they were already good. But I'm, I see all this. So on paper I'm like, you need to win the NFC on paper. But we saw the packers already had a solid defense last year. Their, their problems were offense. They kept dropping passes like I know Matthew Golden. They've got a new rookie receiver hoping to, you know, come out and be a difference maker offensively. But their offense was, was sloppy. That's what needed to be tightened up. Their defense was solid already. Yeah, you, now you get Michael Parsons.
- [08:12]
Dan Beyer
But I think that it's, it's interesting when you bring up Matthew Golden's name because this all goes back to a little bit of Aaron Rodgers and just to, just to branch off on that portion of it quickly. The, the moves that Green Bay didn't make when Aaron Rodgers were there were because they had Aaron Rodgers right? Like there was, there was so much focus on Green Bay not taking a wide receiver in the first round and Aaron Rodgers only throwing one touchdown pass to a first round pick, which for so long was Mercedes Lewis, the veteran tight end who's been in the NFL for like 15, 16 years. But that was the only first round pick. I think those stats were deceiving Monsie, but they fit this argument because I think any NFL team would have loved to have had Jordy Nelson. They would have loved to have had Devonte Adams, second round pick. Screen Bay drafted Randall Cobb. I think Cobb was a second or third round pick. They invested in the weapons, they just didn't do it in the first round. So then they go and they draft Matthew golden in the first round this year and then now you go out and you get a defensive player like Micah Parsons. I think it says so much about Green Bay and where they think they are and where they think they are. With Jordan Love, I'm sure Aaron Rodgers is thinking like, oh great, why couldn't you have done that when I was here? But Rogers was viewed as the guy of being able to solve everything. I think Green Bay is a complete team. Like when you look at Josh Jacobs, when you look at Jordan Love, their offensive line is intact. Their wide receiving core was the question. So you draft Matthew golden, but still there's even people trying to convince us how productive their receiving core was because you had so many different guys able to contribute. Now at the start of the season, it's going to be a question because you don't have Christian Watson because he's hurt. Jaden Reed is dinged up a little bit. Romeo Dobbs can never stay on the field. So there's their names that, that Green Bay used to rely on that you're not going to have early on in the season. But the move to Micah Parsons says, yeah, we're ready to win a Super Bowl. We want to go to the Super Bowl. And for as much as Philadelphia tries to defend it, if Philadelphia doesn't win this year, guess what, they want it last year. Green Bay doesn't win it this year. To your point, it's a complete fail because now you're dealing with Micah Parsons and you're dealing with a Micah Parsons who right now entering the season is dealing with a back injury. So now you're going to want to maximize everything that you have with it and you don't have two first round picks because you gave them up as part of the deal.
- [10:44]
Monty Belanos
Maximize and then at the same time be cautious if he really does have some sort of injury to his back. You want to be cautious because you, you didn't just get him for this year, you signed him already to a four year extension. So you're looking at the future. But bringing up, you brought up the Eagles, perfect example though. But the Eagles are not running it right back. They're missing five, six big players that they had in their super bowl team. The packers are literally running it back and then some. Yes, it's, it's a little bit different. So it's like, and then there's so much parity when it comes to the division that the Eagles are in. We hasn't been a repeat division winner since what, 1990 something. I may be off, but I think it's 1990. Right. And so the packers literally like have no excuses at this point.
- [11:29]
Dan Beyer
I agree. I think that there is and I'm sitting here because I'm in mid thought. When you look at Detroit and you kind of laid out the division earlier, everybody had some sort of subtraction.
- [11:41]
Monty Belanos
Yeah.
- [11:42]
Dan Beyer
And we're doing this game today. If you're just tuning in. Monty and I are with with you here on Fox Sports Radio. We were here a couple hours prior. We've got a basket of NFL preview questions in our helmet of questions we all wrote each other to answer for the upcoming season. And I got a question earlier. Who was the second year quarterback that's going to take a step back and I said Jaden Daniels just because I think it's going to be tough. Tough to match how well he did last year and all the things that went right for the commanders are going to, something's not going to go right this year. I'm sorry. It's just, it's bound to even out at some point. When you look in the NFL, we're shocked that Matthew Stafford is on track to start at quarterback for the Rams this Sunday against the Texans. And the Rams are the defending NFC west champions. Sure, people think of stuff with the 49ers and coming back the Buccaneers. I mean, there's the wide receiver room in, in Tampa. Chris Godwin's still trying to come back. Jail. Julio McMillan, Jalen McMillan, excuse me. He's hurt, gonna miss maybe half the season. So there's all these questions of these teams that you expect something from except Green Bay, where they have added and pushed it through. I think that's, I think that's, I, I agree wholeheartedly that they have the target on their back. They may not be the, the odds on favorite to go to the super bowl, but they have showed more than any other team in the NFC that they're, they're all in. But now this Micah Parsons back situation is one that is. I don't think that Green Bay is overly concerned with the back issue. However, I also thought the back issue was fake when Micah Parsons was a member of the Dallas Cowboys.
- [13:22]
Monty Belanos
I'm with you. I thought it was fake too. And then even Micah, after he showed up in Green Bay and had his first press conference, he said he was good to go and that he was going to play. He's like, I'm ready, like, let's go. But now this, that you're going to get an epidural to see to help you play. I, I, I'm wondering if the Cowboys knew something we don't know, if, if.
- [13:43]
Dan Beyer
It was more serious. I think that the NFL would have to step in in a certain way. If there was something that was known or something that was hidden, he obviously would have to pass a physical with Green Bay to be able to, to play. And he's done that. He's wearing his new number one jersey. He's been introduced. The trade is done. Cowboys are moving on. They've got Kenny Clark. That's, that's where we are. However, it does bring up the point with Jerry Jones on the reasons to do the deal. And it's funny, the reason I think that we could talk about the packers today, Moncy, is because I felt that ever since the trade was done on Thursday, it was all about the Cowboys and Jerry Jones, that there wasn't this this conversation about Green Bay very much on what it does for the nfc, but now that the dust is kind of settled on this deal, it shows you on how Green Bay is all in and how important this season is for them. And to have Micah Parsons dealing with a back issue that may need an epidural in Week one, I. I think there would be concern. I listen, I get it's the Lions, but considering the guy hasn't been at training camp of any sorts, why into that position? Why even play on Sunday? I know, like, you want to make this great unveiling, and even though the Cowboys were saying, like, we expect him to play, we expect him to be there, if they were to play, and you get a couple of more days because you're not playing on a Thursday, you're playing on a Sunday, I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world for Micah Parsons to sit out of that. That game against the Lions, 100%.
- [15:13]
Monty Belanos
I would not rush it because I feel like back issues are not something to take lightly. It's not. It's not a sprained ankle. It's not. You know, the back can be detrimental, and I. You want him for the long haul, so I'm with you. Why would you rush him back if he just got there? He just got there. He's been there a week.
- [15:34]
Dan Beyer
Jason Stewart's our executive producer.
- [15:36]
Jason Stewart
Remember Micah Parsons? And. And. Or his team seemed to take offense to Jerry Jones talking about his injuries from last season in the negotiations. So that kind of aggravated the negotiations. It was kind of dirty pool, I thought, because he missed what he missed three games with a high ankle sprain last year, if not more so. His availability was called into question during the negotiations. And then this. I know it's a different injury and he's not available, but it does play into this whole thing. What wasn't it like, 90:10, the ratio of people in our industry who are calling Jerry Jones an idiot? I think Skip Bayless is, like, the one lone voice who liked the trade. And it's like most of that was, how could you possibly do this? But if Micah Parsons misses time this year, say, or if he becomes a guy that's kind of a guy that isn't available, like an Odell Beckham Jr. Or something, will those same people be like, maybe Jerry Jones knew what he was talking about, or will they say, no, Michael was injured. So we haven't. We haven't been given the full Micah yet? Well, that was one of the reasons that Jerry Jones specifically brought up As a hesitation in this deal, I think.
- [16:53]
Dan Beyer
That Jerry was right in his thinking along that way. I didn't hate the deal from the Cowboys perspective because I just didn't think that the Cowboys were a Micah Parsons long term deal away from winning Super Bowls. At some point you have to make a tough decision and not pay someone and they did. The only pushback that I would give to that is the conversation around the league. I think Jerry was founded in, in the negotiations with Micah Parsons, but he was also speaking out of both sides of his mouth because he said they had a deal done back in April. So what changes between now and then if you're using all of these reasons to not give him that, that extra money that his agent wanted him to have. So that's the only part with Jerry where I say, okay, great deal, but you were willing to pay him in April and now you're saying that you're concerned about his injury history and what games he missed and paying him X amount of money. I also think that the deal that they got wasn't the greatest deal to just get two first round picks and a player to help stop the run, which they felt was an issue of need. I felt that they could have gotten more from another team or even from Green Bay for Micah Parsons. So that's where I wouldn't let Jerry off the hook because I feel in a way he's speaking out of both sides of his mouth from saying that they had a deal done in April and I thought that he could get more. But ultimately, to your point, I think that Jerry Jones has a leg to stand on.
- [18:28]
Monty Belanos
I don't hate this deal for the Cowboys. I agree with you. I think maybe he could have gotten more and what to answer your question first, Jason, I think that they're only people that are going to come out and defend Jerry Jones might be Cowboys fans, but if you're not a Cowboys fans, if you're not a Cowboy fan and even this goes well for the Cowboys, Jerry people don't like to give Jerry Jones credit. They just don't want to do that for some reason. And the thing that I see here, it's like something, something happened where there was a switch for Jerry Jones. As we're seeing in this documentary, the minute he felt like Jimmy Johnson was no longer, quote unquote loyal to him, he immediately got the boot. I feel like there was some. Something went down with the agent behind closed doors that right there, something switched for. For Jimmy or excuse me, for Jerry Jones and he wanted to make the trade happen yesterday. And that's why he was like two first round picks. Cool. Go ahead, send him on his merry way. Shove it up that agent's ass.
- [19:27]
Dan Beyer
Yeah, that's. That's the problem with Jerry though, for the defenders is to have someone who's so emotional fair to. To like in. When you're in that position, you can't be that emotional in. Jerry is. And I think that's a knock on his gm.
- [19:42]
Monty Belanos
Yeah.
- [19:43]
Dan Beyer
Duties and in his role as the general manager.
- [19:46]
Monty Belanos
It's just hard because. Right. He has had so much success money wise that like, he doesn't. He doesn't think he's doing a bad job. He's like, what are you talking about? I have a billion dollar team. Yes, I know I haven't won, but what are you talking about?
- [19:58]
Dan Beyer
It's the most valuable franchise.
- [20:00]
Monty Belanos
I'm winning here. What are you talking about?
- [20:03]
Dan Beyer
There's. Take the Luca deal to the Lakers. When you look back on that deal, what was the worst part about the deal? I'll tell you what mine is and then you can answer.
- [20:17]
Monty Belanos
Go for it.
- [20:17]
Dan Beyer
I thought it was the return that Dallas got in getting an injured Anthony Davis. So their concerns of trading Luka Doncic may have been. May have been legit. Luca now getting into shape tells us that he wasn't in shape previously. And Dallas may have had those concerns, but it was the return for what they got for him where we felt he could have been shopped to other teams and you could have gotten more. I don't think it's any different than what Dallas has right now is Micah Parsons may have a back issue and he may have an injury problem, but ultimately Jerry didn't give get maximum value for the piece that he had. And ultimately I think that comes back to Jerry Jones is not doing the job that he should have done as a general manager to try to squeeze every amount of juice in a trade that you can get out of someone of the caliber of Micah Parsons.
- [21:14]
Monty Belanos
I know there's a lot of similarities because it's Dallas poor, poor Dallas fans, but I actually think they're not the same. And I feel like, like, like you said, the. The Cowboys were not a Micah Parsons extension away from getting past a playoff win. One playoff win. They weren't even there, let alone the Super Bowl. The Mavs went to the finals with Luka because of Luka. I don't think it's so much worse. The Luca thing is so much worse. And you got rid of the one guy who actually took you to the Finals. Micah and Luka, to me, are not the same because the sports are different, not in levels of skill, but just like what they mean to the sport.
- [21:55]
Dan Beyer
Yeah. And I'm not. And I think it's a very fair point. I think that you're accurate with it. The point that I'm making is even if there was something that Dallas knew about Luca that they wouldn't be able to continue with, the rest of the league doesn't know about it. So you're trying to get, you know, what the real value of Luca is and who Luca is and why you're getting rid of him. Everybody else doesn't know.
- [22:19]
Monty Belanos
Yeah.
- [22:19]
Dan Beyer
They could have gotten more than just two first round picks and Kenny Clark from it. And I think that even though Jerry's right in doing the deal, I mean, if. If Micah Parsons is limited and is injured or throughout the next four years of his. Of his contract, then Jerry wins the trade. But instead of winning 30 to nothing, I felt he could have won 50 to nothing. Maybe in the end that doesn't matter if you have that much of a. Much of a blowout, but that's kind of how I view it. But I think, I think it's. I think you bring up a fair point that the, you know, in comparing the two, the Mavericks were almost to the mountaintop. Jason Stewart.
- [22:51]
Jason Stewart
Now, Monty, you brought up the documentary. Now have you, have you finished it or are you still three or four?
- [22:57]
Monty Belanos
No, I'm on episode.
- [22:58]
Jason Stewart
Okay, good. Dan finished it. I finished it. I very much recommend it. Now, Dan, as you were watching Jerry Jones stumble through this press conference trying to justify the trade and everything, did it also strike you? Because it struck me this way, that if you watch the documentary and you don't even have need to see the documentary to know this, that Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson parted ways for a lot of reasons, but the main reason was, is that they couldn't really find any common ground on who would take credit for the Herschel Walker deal. And to this day, Jimmy Johnson. It still irks him to even mention that it was anybody other than Jimmy Johnson. It's a huge point of contention. And as I'm watching Jerry Jones stumble through this press conference on Thursday night, I want to say I'm thinking this is Jerry's Herschel Walker. Now, if this deal works out and these draft picks pan out and Micah Parsons isn't great on the Packers, Jerry Jones could for once say that he pulled off the deal and it was his decision only you get any of that vibe out of this I think.
- [24:07]
Dan Beyer
That'S a fair assessment. I, yeah, I do get that vibe. I will also say this, that I think that throughout the layers of that documentary, the first one of the money that he owed to people, not only in trying to strike oil in Texas where he said that this was kind of his last shot or one of his last shots because he owed people so much money, so much so that he was going to team up with Jimmy Hoffa to try to buy the Chargers. Like he was willing to do these things, but that they're not as on firm ground as he wants you to think that they are. So that was the revealing thing to me is Jerry is telling us on how much they were losing money with the Cowboys early on with the organization and the millions of dollars that they were losing. So in all these times where he's made a big move or made a big splash, he hasn't been in the catbird seat. And that's how I feel about this situation. But to bring up the Jimmy Johnson thing, to have this be his deal. Yeah, I, I, I could, I could see that of this, him wanting this on, you know, in his obituary.
- [25:16]
Monty Belanos
Cuz we talk about he's emotional like these other things. He thinks about it like as much as he's a businessman, he is very emotionally involved and that would be a victory that he would be able to claim solely by himself. So I totally see that. Absolutely.
- [25:31]
Dan Beyer
It's, Yes, I, I think that there are parallels. Yes, absolutely. To it. And this could be Jerry's. I'm the one who did the mic.

Dan Beyer
All right, you guys ready for the quick NFL question? Will Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift secretly get married during the season?
- [26:06]
Monty Belanos
I wonder who wrote that one.
- [26:08]
Dan Beyer
I, yeah, I can tell it's girls handwriting. I can tell it's, it's, it's, it's girls handwriting. I'm sure monsieur wrote it. No. And you want to know why?
- [26:18]
Monty Belanos
Why? Because they're already married.
- [26:20]
Dan Beyer
No, because Travis Kelsey has committed to focusing on this season. And what an awful look to think that you're going to get married between now and February when you said you were all in on this year.
- [26:32]

Happy Week one to you. A happy Labor Day. And I didn't realize but this is a busy day for the Canadian Football League as well. Action going on Labor Day for them. Labour. Welcome in. It is a Monday here on Fox Sports Radio. Kavino and Rich were in for Dan Patrick earlier today. So you got Monsiel and myself, along with Jason Stewart and Chris Perfette hanging out after an almost full week of college football. Just one more game to go. We'll get into that in a little bit. Plus week one in the NFL. Buckle up, hang out, have a good time. Wrap up your extended weekend with us right here on Fox Sports Radio. What a weekend it was.
- [31:17]
Monty Belanos
What a weekend. Can't believe it's September. Really though. Really. I can't believe football season is here. We've been waiting so patiently for it.
- [31:27]
Dan Beyer
You realize how quickly it's going to go?
- [31:29]
Monty Belanos
It's going to be. I know.
- [31:30]
Chris Perfett
Could you say, monsieur, you could be waiting all day for a Sunday night?
- [31:34]
Monty Belanos
I could be waiting all day for a Sunday night. Yes, absolutely. And it is going to go by in the blink of an eye. We're going to be celebrating our birthdays before we know it.
- [31:43]
Dan Beyer
Dan, that is True, yes. January just around the corner. Something that we all look forward to, those January birthdays when there's so much to do outside when you live in certain parts of the country.
- [31:54]
Monty Belanos
Yeah, for sure.
- [31:54]
Dan Beyer
You know what you do? You go bowling. Yeah, that's what it is. Bowling. Birthday parties are the thing to do in January. There was a party this past weekend in Columbus. Ohio State knocks off Texas and college football. LSU wins the battle of Death valleys going to Clemson's Death Valley. And, and it was also a battle of the Tigers, by the way. It was the LSU Tigers against the Clemson Tigers. LSU gets the, the win there. Florida State with the upset of Alabama. We had a uniform controversy between Northwestern and Tulane. That one has kind of been cleared up a little bit. But Tulane taking it out, taking their frustrations out on the Wildcats of Northwestern after Tulane felt Northwestern didn't allow them to wear their white uniforms to honor the 20th anniversary and all the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the 20 year anniversary of them playing their first game after that tragedy. So much going on in college football. But I would say that the ultimate storyline was happening on Saturday before any games had started. And that was Lee Corso saying goodbye to college game day. So much so that if you missed it, Fox and ESPN worked out an agreement that allowed Fox to carry the live headgear segment being broadcast on espn. The two big competitors joining forces to honor Lee Corso as the Ohio State band spelled Corso out across the field. The ESPN crew was 50 yard line in front of the band as Lee Corso made his final pick in his final appearance on college game day. And I didn't cry, but I could understand why there would be reasons to be cutting onions.
- [33:46]
Monty Belanos
Sure.
- [33:47]
Dan Beyer
A very emotional time for so many that loved college football and I've loved it for so long. Lee Corso an absolute staple. You put Mount Rushmore of like these iconic media personalities is really what it is. And Lee Corso's on that. We said goodbye to him on Saturday in his final broadcast.
- [34:05]
Monty Belanos
College football and Lee Corso kind of go hand in hand. And the fact that you said ESPN and Fox were like, yeah, this is such a big deal. You're both going to be able to have this content that just goes to show how big he is in the world of college football and the respect and the respect.
- [34:21]
Dan Beyer
There are things that there are talents that come along and people work for different networks and I mean John Madden worked for all of them. Like, I mean he truly did. NBC, abc, Fox, cbs. He worked, worked for all of them and Everybody has their piece of it, but Corso was such an institution and honestly, before Fox got big into college football, it was ESPN who really, really had their arms around it. I mean CBS obviously had a role and we always knew the CBS theme song. But to have it on a 24 hour a day network, to have it starting at noon eastern and you're going way past midnight that night with college game day final and the shows that they would put on ESPN to their credit has helped take college football to a certain level. And Lee Corso was a huge piece of that. And it just got me to thinking of not only of, of other personalities in his role because I think John Madden is a, is a very fair one to put, but those personalities and just finales in general of the final one. I mean we just had a recent one in the NBA where Hubie Brown called his last game for espn. So you have that sort of farewell. There are a lot of farewells and that's what got my mind thinking of. What are the farewells that stand out to you? 87799 on Fox. 877-996-6369. We know how Kavino and Rich love to get you involved and we'd love to hear from you as well. If you want to hit up monos, you can find me at Dan Byer on fox. The farewells of farewells occurred with Lee Corso on Saturday. But there are a lot of other farewells that end up standing out in your mind.
- [36:05]
Monty Belanos
I mean it's immediately when you mentioned farewell and I'll never forget it.
- [36:09]
Dan Beyer
Let me write it down. Let me write it. Okay. Okay.
- [36:12]
Monty Belanos
I'm going away from sports.
- [36:13]
Dan Beyer
Oh, you are? Okay.
- [36:15]
Monty Belanos
Because immediately when you were talking about big farewells, one that I'll never ever forget was the end of Friends. Did she, did she get off the plane? Did she get off the plane? I got off the plane and the door opens with her. That was the second to last episode to then I believe it was the second to last one for their big farewell. But like that, the way Friends ended, it was like there's not many shows that I think wrap up nicely and have a nice farewell and actually close the chapter and close the door. They literally close Monica's door.
- [36:50]
Dan Beyer
Did you cry?
- [36:51]
Monty Belanos
I did. I. Yes, I did. And sometimes I'll be watching it and I'll still get a little like emotional because I just remember I feel like I go back in time being at home and watching that on a Thursday night. So was it Thursdays?
- [37:05]
Dan Beyer
So Rachel gets off the plane.
- [37:07]
Monty Belanos
Rachel gets off.
- [37:08]
Dan Beyer
Yes. To be with Ross again.
- [37:10]
Monty Belanos
Yes. She doesn't go to Paris. She was going to Paris on a new job. And then she gets off the plane after Ross tries to go stop her at the airport. And then he tells her, I'm still in love with you. And she's like, I can't do this right now. I've got to go. And then she goes and she gets off the plane.
- [37:26]
Dan Beyer
I never liked them together in the show. I felt they were better when they were apart than when they were a couple.
- [37:30]
Commercial Announcer
They were so.
- [37:31]
Monty Belanos
What are you talking about?
- [37:32]
Dan Beyer
Well, that's. That's, again, the best. You know, 17 pages front and back. And I'll just read your letter. Like those. That's the best. When they were. They were splitting up.
- [37:45]
Monty Belanos
When they were fighting. Yes.
- [37:47]
Dan Beyer
I love. I. That's why I love. So I get it. Like your point of them, like, putting the perfect.
- [37:53]
Monty Belanos
They just wrapped it up like there is no questions left after how they ended that. When you have other shows where you're like, really? This is how you ended it. There's so many questions left.
- [38:02]
Dan Beyer
There's a lot of pressure. There's a lot of pressure with those.
- [38:06]
Monty Belanos
With those farewells. Yeah, totally.
- [38:08]
Dan Beyer
And if you can make your core fan base happy, I think that that satisfies.
- [38:12]
Monty Belanos
I didn't watch Game of Thrones, but apparently that one sucked. Everybody was real mad about that. As our producer, Jason, is nodding his head, yes, I didn't watch that, but people were real mad about that one.
- [38:21]
Jason Stewart
Oh, Game of Thrones was awful. Entire season. Their entire final season is dreadful.
- [38:27]
Dan Beyer
Here's the great thing about I, for me with Game of Thrones is we watched it all via streaming. Like, like, catching up.
- [38:35]
Monty Belanos
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [38:35]
Dan Beyer
I hadn't watched eight years prior. Yes. I did not. Did not watch it. I don't think I would have been able to. So to watch that show, just to be able to go to another episode was magnificent. The problem was, is when I saw the ending on social media, because we had just started watching the show, I knew what was going to happen at the end, or at least how it was going to happen at the end, which ruined the ending for me a little bit. But I. From your experience and what you guys are saying, I remember there being enormous backlash to how. How it wrapped up. Is that. Was that going to be your finale, Jason, that you remembered?
- [39:14]
Jason Stewart
No. In fact, I'm amazed because I was in my head thinking about all these sports farewells, and I'm just amazed at how great you Guys are at weaving pop culture into your sports. It's pretty incredible because I didn't even think that was an option to go with friends. You guys are just, you're. You're magicians.
- [39:34]
Dan Beyer
I, I thought that there was. I wrote down a different one for Monsieur. I thought it was going to be sports wise. I think when you talk about recent sports farewells, I think the place that we go to is Kobe, of course, like, that's the. And now, obviously, with what has happened since, it's even more so in our mind. But even that night overshadowed the warriors winning the record 73, 73rd regular season game, completely dominated everything. And I think sports finales, like, if you bring up like one of those, it's. Yeah, it's tough to beat that.
- [40:11]
Jason Stewart
It's so rare to get an athlete have an amazing farewell because so many athletes don't determine their farewell or it's. It's in retrospect. So the Kobe thing was very much planned. We knew what his final game was. They weren't making the playoffs. This was it. And then he had that speech at the end where he dropped the mic, I think we played within the last year parts of that farewell speech. And I. It brought tears to my eyes because he mentions his daughter in that farewell speech. And then, like, looking back, it was like, I remember in the moment. It was powerful. And then, even if you, if you watch it now, I dare you not to cry.
- [40:49]
Dan Beyer
Yeah.
- [40:49]
Jason Stewart
But along those lines, locally, Los Angeles based, we knew it was coming to an end. But Vin Scully's final season and his final broadcast, I want to say Kevin Costner, like, hosted this long ordeal. And it was, to me, that entire season was sad for me. Vin Scully was the soundtrack of my childhood. And I just remember getting at times just emotional as we went along. This would be the last time he'll be here. This will be the last time he does this. That was a big sports farewell for me. That was like. That was closing the book on a part of my life. And I think a lot of people shared that feeling.
- [41:31]
Dan Beyer
Was the final game in San Francisco. Was that the final.
- [41:35]
Jason Stewart
I think so, yeah.
- [41:36]
Monty Belanos
That he. Yes, that he called. I believe it was in San Francisco. But the farewell here at Dodger Stadium. He sang. He didn't he sing to the fans? Yeah, like, he literally sang to the fans.
- [41:46]
Dan Beyer
Like, what a bad job by Major League Baseball.
- [41:48]
Monty Belanos
Absolutely. Well, they wanted. They wanted it to be the Giants because at the first, you know, the Giants and the Dodgers in New York and like, that's how he Kind of started back there. We started with the Dodgers back in New York. So there was a bit of history there that wasn't completely dropping the ball. But you're right. Like, the last game should have been on Dodger Stadium, but there was a historical reference of him calling the last game against the Giants.
- [42:11]
Dan Beyer
Yeah. At least in an end in Miami.
- [42:13]
Monty Belanos
Correct. Right.
- [42:14]
Dan Beyer
No offense, Marlins, but yes. Yeah, Marlins. Marlins fans, I'll go. Unless Chris has got a farewell. Yeah, you got one, Chris.
- [42:24]
Chris Perfett
I do, I do. I always remember this one. And I just. I don't know why. Like, I'm not a fan of the team, although my grandfather was. But it's always seared into my brain. Probably because he was a closer, Mariano Rivera, because his entrance, his walk to the Mount, everything was always so iconic that there was always this pageantry when Mariano Rivera comes out, enters Sandman, and you know, that's like, here's your doom. Here's your doom. You can't win. They're sending out Mariano Rivera to mow your team down. And there was. I don't remember the context of the game, but he basically couldn't finish the game. But it was the final game. Mariano Rivera was going to play. And they sent out. And there was a point where they sent out Jeter and Andy Pettit and Andy Pettit out to the mound to get him. And it was just this. It felt like a Hollywood moment. It felt like, you know, this very bittersweet moment of like, this is it. This is the end of this generation of Yankees players. They got to linger out there and obviously the cameras linger on everything. There's the emotion between these guys who have, you know, played all these playoff series, gone to the World Series, won the World Series together. Just, it's seared into my brain as one of the few moments in reality that actually feels like it could have probably been in a movie.
- [43:53]
Dan Beyer
I got teary eyed. You're talking about the Yankees with Jeter's Gatorade ad.
- [43:59]
Monty Belanos
Oh, yeah.
- [43:59]
Dan Beyer
Sinatra's my way.
- [44:01]
Monty Belanos
I remember that.
- [44:02]
Dan Beyer
I was just like. And I was no Derek Jeter fan. I was not a Yankees fan by any means. But, you know, because he's also like, he's the last of an era. When you're the last of an era, I think that there's. There's a lot of luggage that you carry with you. And I felt that Jeter was of that era. And just hearing that, obviously music does it as well when you put it together, but I remember I got emotional with that.
- [44:26]
Monty Belanos
It Hits a little different. Yes. With music. Absolutely. But even Derek Jeter, his final game, where he walked it off against the Orioles, like that was his final at bat, I believe at Yankee Stadium. So it's just like there's. That's a perfect way to also end it. You can script it better for Derek Jeter.
- [44:44]
Dan Beyer
I know Jason is a lover of documentaries. I don't know if you've seen this one, but The Roger Federer. 12 days covering Roger Federer's final matches of his professional career. Very, very well done. And Amazon, if you're looking for it. But what I. What struck me so much about it was because it wasn't at US Open, it wasn't at a Wimbledon. It was. They were at matches in. I believe it was in. It was in London, it was in New York or London. The point being, what ST stood out to me was how much Raphael Nadal was emotionally invested. Like, you would understand. Sometimes guys can put up a brave front and sometimes they're unable to and may break down. But to have someone be your rival and competitor, to not be able to keep in your emotions into the sob.
- [45:37]
Monty Belanos
Now that you're. It's all. Yes, I remember this now.
- [45:40]
Dan Beyer
Yeah. Yeah. Like, it was truly.
- [45:43]
Monty Belanos
Yeah. Literally, he was sobbing and.
- [45:45]
Dan Beyer
And there was, you know, there's so much to it. But you knew that this was going to be the end. It wasn't like, did he get ousted in the semifinals? You knew this was. This was going to be the match. This was going to be the end of the career. So you had a set date. They were able to cover those final 12 days and everything that came with it. But to see how the other competitors were so emotionally moved by Federer's retirement was something that. That always stuck with me.
- [46:10]
Monty Belanos
Yeah, that's a good one. I forgot about that one.
- [46:12]
Jason Stewart
It does remind me of that whole chance to say goodbye thing. Right. I mean, Federer had obviously announced that this is it. And it gave everyone a chance to kind of get their ducks in order to say goodbye. Most athletes never get that chance. Most head coaches don't. And it reminds me of the Patriots. I thought that Bob Kraft, I thought he did Belichick dirty at the. At the end of his final season. I think everyone kind of knew that was going to be Belichick's last season. In fact, he probably could have been fired before the season ended. So maybe Kraft extended him the courtesy of not doing that. But I don't remember there being any kind of goodbye from the Patriots fans. It was never announced. And maybe Belichick had something to do with this, but it was just kind of weird, right? You have the greatest head coach in the history of the NFL and that, you know, our most contemporary dynasty, and no one ever really said goodbye. And I think that was because of Bob Kraft.
- [47:12]
Dan Beyer
There's, you know, you look back, that's why, like, Peyton Manning's farewell is a Super bowl win. Like, who doesn't want to go out like that way in. In winning it? But more times than not, you have losses in games. And unfortunately, in Belichick's tenure, it just got to be so sour at the end that there was no opportunity that fans actually wanted the person to leave. Like, that's. There's. There's. There's such a balance with that. The TV show aspect, the finales that. The best finale that I remember, and I think that the Friends one is pretty good. But I'll never forget when Cheers ended. Again, this is a little before your time, but just to. Just to have Sam Malone, you know, tell the customer that, you know, the bar was closed, you know, sorry, we're closed. And then he walks off getting emotional just thinking about it. But that. That episode was like, wow. And Cheers is one of those shows, too, that I had more appreciation of as I got older. Jokes, I understood jokes that they made in the show that I didn't understand when I was younger. But for the. For the Seinfeld one that was panned so much and people not liking the ending, like, there are some really good ones. And the Cheers one stands out to.
- [48:24]
Monty Belanos
Me, sticking here with TV shows. I didn't watch Cheers, but I do know that final scene, people talk about it, the Office, the farewell to Michael Scott. So not the end of the Office. The farewell to Michael Scott was Chef's Kiss. Once Michael Scott left the Office, I had a rough going, trying to, you know, enjoy it as much. And then they do wrap up the show again, and they bring Michael Scott back. You know, they. They bring him back for just, like, a hot second, and they wrap it up. That's fine. But the farewell to how they said goodbye to Michael Scott, I think they executed that really well.
- [49:04]
Dan Beyer
Those are spots, too, where the actors know or, like, the emotion comes in when you know what's really happening.
- [49:10]
Monty Belanos
Yeah. It's not to cut you off, but, like, there's a scene where he says bye to Pam at the airport because he's leaving to go be with Holly. And there's a scene where he's talking to Pam, and they talked about it after that. They had that moment. They recorded them, there's no sound. And they by themselves, like, they really said bye to each other, but they didn't have the sound. And the actors both were like. It was really sweet because we knew they were recording us, but we knew they couldn't hear us. So we had our own little goodbye while being filmed. And that's what they showed. And then they also sing to him using the song from the musical Rent365. Right. They sing that to him. And he did not know that was happening. That was on the spot. So they did a lot of things just kind of on the spot. I thought that was a well done farewell for Michael Scott in the Office.
- [49:56]
Jason Stewart
Most of these relationships, by the way, end because of contractual reasons or because the actor and or creators have had some kind of friction. So most actors don't need to. Don't get to have that farewell. Most are just kind of written off and you're like, what happened to George Clooney and er? Oh, okay. So to actually have those moments are so rare.
- [50:17]
Monty Belanos
Yes.
- [50:17]
Jason Stewart
Where a popular show loses its most popular figure. They know they're gonna continue, but they could say goodbye to the named person.
- [50:26]
Monty Belanos
Good point.
- [50:27]
Jason Stewart
Very rare.
- [50:28]
Dan Beyer
Right?
- [50:28]
Monty Belanos
That's a great point.
- [50:29]
Dan Beyer
I could even tell you what happened on the last episode of the Office.
- [50:32]
Monty Belanos
Dwight gets married with Angela. To Angela.
- [50:34]
Dan Beyer
Don't even. Yeah, don't even.
- [50:35]
Monty Belanos
And it's supposed to be. Jim is supposed to be the best man. And Jim's like, I can't be your best man. And then here comes Michael Scott.
- [50:42]
Dan Beyer
Oh, that's. That's how it.
- [50:44]
Monty Belanos
That's kind of like how they do it.
- [50:46]
Dan Beyer
Sure. And then Jim looked at the camera and was like.
- [50:48]
Monty Belanos
And then Michael Scott says, that's what she said. And then like, that's literally, I think is one line in that episode.
- [50:57]
Dan Beyer
I. Yeah. Completely lost on me because it wasn't memorable.
- [51:00]
Monty Belanos
It wasn't.
- [51:02]
Dan Beyer
You kind of spread away. Can we, can we agree the. The most memorable is Sopranos, like for just. I mean, it's the conversation that just continued because of the lack of closure. I didn't even watch it and I didn't watch it.
- [51:20]
Monty Belanos
So I was like, I don't know, should I watch it? Is it that good?
- [51:23]
Dan Beyer
But still, the, the conversations that came from it of fans and everybody. It's. It's not exactly of where were you at this point? Or you remember where you were when this happened. But I feel that there are so many people of like, I remember I was watching and I thought my cable went out. You Know, I didn't mean to do that in a New Jersey accent. Sorry. Covino and Rich. Sorry, Spot. Sorry about that. But that's what I felt like was one that even if you weren't invested in the show, you had some sort of connection or feeling towards it because of the way that it just ended.
- [51:58]
Jason Stewart
I probably spent way too much time on the Sopranos and reading about the Sopranos. And then during COVID it got kind of a rebirth because during COVID two of the character actors did a podcast where they. They went each and every episode, they covered it. So you could watch the podcast and then you could watch the show as an accompaniment. It was. It was for. For pot for Sopranos nerds. It was amazing. So then you start thinking about that last episode, and it was so controversial and it pissed so many people off in real time. But I think people have begun to appreciate the way he ended it because the creator of the show wanted everybody to, in their own mind, have their ending. He left it open to interpretation. How does this series end in the viewer's mind? And I think it was brilliant. It just abruptly ended with a Journey song. And then people are like, well, what happened? We need to know what happened. But I think that the kind of. The nuance of writing it that way to where you, the viewer, is going to come up with your own ending, it was such a brilliant way to end it.
- [53:04]
Monty Belanos
Interesting. I feel like we, the viewers, don't like that. We want you to tell us how it ended.
- [53:10]
Dan Beyer
To Jason's point, at that minute. You feel that way, right?
- [53:13]
Monty Belanos
No.
- [53:13]
Dan Beyer
And as time goes on, you're kind of like, okay, I think Tony Soprano lives. I think Tony Soprano dies.
- [53:20]
Monty Belanos
And I feel like you also leave it. The door cracked open in case you wanted to bring the show back. Always.
- [53:26]
Dan Beyer
Sure.
- [53:27]
Monty Belanos
By not completely.
- [53:28]
Dan Beyer
Yeah, Maybe, just maybe, just maybe that's.
- [53:31]
Monty Belanos
That's the only good thing about it. But that's not my style. Tell me how it ends. I'll tell me.
- [53:36]
Dan Beyer
I'll tell you. Because I know we. We got to go to break, but this. We can continue. I know there's more. We haven't talked about music and bands and farewell tours and that sort of deal. I think of Coach K. Oh, that's a good one, too, because we know his coach case last season. But Coach K's only way to leave was winning a national championship in. Coach K ends up going out, losing in the final four to North Carolina. Like, like, like. Think about that. Like, the. The career is. Is darn near unmatched. And the success is great, but the one ending like it's different. Like, oh, guess what? We, we, you know, we lost. We, we lost to Michigan or we lost to Michigan State or you know, they tough team we've played throughout the years. We lost to Texas or something like that. But to be against your long term rival, maybe, maybe in a way there was, I don't know, something fitting with that. But I always felt like it's tough if you're a college basketball coach and you're about to walk off into the sunset. There is only one winner, like in so many sports and you're, because of the tournament, you're likely going to end with a loss. And that's what happened with coach King. All right, we got Robert in Las Vegas. Robert, welcome to Camino. And Rich, how you doing? I was in college and it was like the super bowl, the final episode of mash. Yes. Most watched, most watched television episode in history. What, what did Robert, what where were you in college? Did you all gather around the TV and watch the final episode? Oh, exactly. It was my frat house and there were more people in that tube room than there were for the Super Bowl. Great, great.

There's a show very close to my heart because Jamie Farr who played, what was it, Max Klinger on that show, like from Toledo, personally from Toledo and like talked about Toledo a lot in the show and like you can still go to restaurants around Toledo and they have plenty of mashed stuff all over the walls.

It's the, the finale still holds the record for a the most viewers for a single episode of a scripted show. Wow. Got a 60.3 rating. 1983, February 28th. Yes, that's now they've been knocked out by Super Bowls, sure. But for the like most watch broadcasts it's Super Bowl. Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl. Super Bowl, Super Bowl, super bowl, mash. Super Bowl, Super Bowl. That's what it is. That's what you get when you look at the ratings. She's Monty Belanos. I'm Dan Byer in for Cavino and Rich Gear. That's the finale on our finale's perfect way to end it.

Find her on X at Monty Belanos. What's the name of this song? I felt like they were saying Maria a lot.
- [59:55]
Chris Perfett
Yeah.
- [59:56]
Dan Beyer
Am I right? Oh, Dan hit her up at monsieblanos. You could find me at Dan Beyer on Fox. Jason Stewart's here. Chris, Perfect is here. We are drawing NFL preview questions out of a hat. You've got one.
- [60:10]
Monty Belanos
I do.
- [60:11]
Dan Beyer
We're going to hear from Tom Brady in a second. But Monsieur's preview question is will Shador.
- [60:17]
Monty Belanos
Sanders do a post game interview for a game he didn't play in?
- [60:22]
Dan Beyer
Interesting.
- [60:22]
Monty Belanos
Danielle.
- [60:25]
Dan Beyer
That was my question. That was. That was my question. Imagine how ridiculous that would be. Shador doesn't play and then you go in the locker room and there's eight reporters around his locker room talking to him. Yes.
- [60:38]
Monty Belanos
What'd you think of this?
- [60:39]
Dan Beyer
What are your thoughts on the 24 nothing loss?
- [60:41]
Monty Belanos
Do you think you should have gone in in the fourth quarter?
- [60:43]
Dan Beyer
Yeah. Do you think he will answer the question? It seems this is a very simple no but apparently it isn't. Again, he didn't play in the game. He probably doesn't even have to shower.
- [60:57]
Monty Belanos
He better not. How about that? He better not.
- [61:00]
Chris Perfett
Will he even be in a jersey? Will he even be in pads?
- [61:03]
Monty Belanos
No, he. He better not. But I feel like there's a chance.
- [61:09]
Chris Perfett
I this, this started a whole gambling segment I do on the weekends. But like and I'm going to give you the over on you guys. The over. Under on this again. Over, under. Half a snap for Shadur Sanders in the season. Like this.
- [61:22]
Monty Belanos
This over.
- [61:23]
Dan Beyer
Yeah, over, over.
- [61:25]
Chris Perfett
He'll play at some point. He will play at some point. It's fascinating how much attention has just been be beyond the pale at this point.
- [61:34]
Dan Beyer
Yes. Which I think makes my question so much more ridiculous yet somehow crazy.
- [61:40]
Monty Belanos
Right.
- [61:41]
Dan Beyer
From what monsieur have to deal with. So you think you're saying yes, this no.
- [61:46]
Monty Belanos
The answer should be this is no. But there's a chance now I guess.
- [61:52]
Jason Stewart
Then I guess there is kind of like this sidebar of, of options you're talking about like an interview from the team reporters or even like a national interview. But I could see some like I don't know, like pop culture website doing an interview. That doesn't count though. That's not the nature of the question.
- [62:14]
Dan Beyer
Correct.
- [62:15]
Jason Stewart
Now, it does remind me of something.
- [62:17]
Dan Beyer
That is not allowed in the.
- [62:18]
Jason Stewart
Right, right, right. It reminds me of something I posted last week. And I don't think anyone here, Chris, doesn't follow me on Twitter and I'll try not to take offense to that. And then you guys both follow me. But you didn't share it or like it, so I'm assuming you just didn't see it. I sent out a tweet. It was, quote, tweeting the story that Shador Sanders is an Emergency three for the Browns. And I said, so his branding team needs to change legendary to Emergency 3 on all of their merchandise. What do you guys think that's like me Bounds.
- [62:52]
Monty Belanos
You're trying to do this with me Bounds?
- [62:54]
Dan Beyer
Yeah.
- [62:55]
Jason Stewart
Emergency three.
- [62:55]
Monty Belanos
Emergency three.
- [62:56]
Jason Stewart
I got my Emergency three T shirt.
- [63:01]
Chris Perfett
He can get a sponsorship with emergency.
- [63:03]

Wow.
- [63:04]

Dan Beyer
Now let's talk some Tom Brady. Or let's hear from Tom Brady. We'll be on the call Sunday for Fox. As week one of the NFL season opens up, this is what the hall, soon to be hall of Fame quarterback said about what he looks for in other quarterbacks. That's what I look for all the time. When a quarterback throws a touchdown pass, I actually watch to see who he goes and celebrates with. Because what did I do? I looked for my offensive lineman. Every time I went down and celebrated in the end zone with my teammates. Every time I wanted everyone to feel like they were part of the success, I told the lineman we're all running the end zone and we're celebrating as a team because I think that's way more intimidating than a quarterback doing his six shooter guns and point up in the crowd and doing all that other that's very self promotional. But it's not about winning. And I think winning in football is about a team. Always a team attitude first. Pff. Podcast with that. Does Tom Brady have a point when judging other quarterbacks?
- [64:12]
Monty Belanos
I mean, such a good point. I think he's goat for a reason. But that word intimidating. It's interesting that he chose that word. But I understand what he's saying. If you're playing against the team that looks like they are one team, the brotherhood is alive and thriving versus individual performances of guys just wanting to toot their own horn. It is more intimidating to face a team like that, a complete team versus one guy who is trying to get all the credit. Like I feel like you can if I'm playing against a team in a sport and there's one person who seems to not be cohesive with the team. I'm going to try to take them out mentally. That is the first domino to fall. Take that one out and then maybe the other start to fall apart. And so I totally understand that.
- [64:57]
Dan Beyer
I do. Look at that. I watch that. I watch that. I watch. I watch post game handshakes. Our old buddy George Reister, who used to team up with on the network, I joked that there should be a velvet rope and a red carpet for people to line up to shake Tom Brady's hand after the game because not everybody does. He can't shake every player's hands.
- [65:18]
Monty Belanos
Yeah.
- [65:18]
Dan Beyer
So, like, there's a level of. And I was somewhat joking. I was joking, but.
- [65:23]
Monty Belanos
But almost. Not really, but.
- [65:24]
Dan Beyer
But in a way, like, okay, you can't just go up. Just like when Jameson Williams asked for Aaron Rodgers jersey after the last Lions, packers game that Rogers had, like, all right, you're not getting it. And second of all, you're not even close to the level of player that would get that jersey. Like, I guess, you know, it never hurts to ask, but I'll watch that. I'll watch when a quarterback throws it to his teammate, the celebration, if there's thought to be any, you know, like rift, like Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs, remember when they were teammates in Buffalo and we thought that there maybe was a fallout if Josh Allen throws him a touchdown. Are they shaking hands? Are they, Are they? Buddy, Buddy. I watch those things and I'm actually surprised that Tom Brady does as well. And Doug Gottlieb here on the network talks about how he was called out in a film review when he was playing basketball at Notre Dame and he didn't. Wasn't cheering for his teammates on the sideline and the coach circled it and said, like, why aren't you cheering? And it's something that he had never forgotten. I think it is a big deal.
- [66:27]
Monty Belanos
It is a big deal. And it is shocking to hear Tom Brady, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off. Tom Brady, to say it like that out loud. Do you also watch when somebody when a player drops a pass to see how the quarterback reacts? I also look at that too, just to see how frustrated the quarterback looks.
- [66:44]
Dan Beyer
Yes.
- [66:44]
Monty Belanos
At times, you know, or is it just like, all right, moving on to the next play or how much are they holding on to it?
- [66:50]
Dan Beyer
I look at who helps up who in an NBA game. I look at who shakes who's ever hand slapping five at the free throw line, all of that stuff.
- [66:57]
Monty Belanos
I mean you mentioned Doug Gottlieb's dog, Doug Gottlieb's example at Notre dame. Remember when LeBron broke the all time scoring record and then Anthony Davis was like not celebrating.
- [67:08]
Dan Beyer
Yeah, yeah.
- [67:08]
Monty Belanos
Like he was just off to the side like just kind of like over it. Like that's something you, we all remember that one. You pay attention to the little things like this.
- [67:15]
Dan Beyer
Yes. And that's what makes Tom Brady Brady the goat.
- [67:19]
Monty Belanos
The goat.
- [67:19]
Dan Beyer
She's Monty Belanos. I'm Dan Byer in for Cavito and Rich who by the way, we're in for Dan Patrick earlier today. Guys will be back in their normal spot tomorrow as we get ready for week one of the NFL season this Labor Day.
