• 0:03
  Speaker 1: he's about seventy five percent today coming off that flew
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: bug and all that stuff that knocked him down. And
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: did you how long did you actually stay in bed?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, I've I've slept more in the last four days,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and I probably slept all year, and which is good
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: because I need to catch up on some sleep, that's
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah, Yeah, that's for sure because our travel
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: schedules the last month have been insane and it's going
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: to be even more crazy just looking at the month
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: of January, especially if Texas continues to extend their college
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: football postseason run, which we hope they do. Yeah, but
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: they don't really take into account our sleep schedules.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Craig, as you know, so no, no, that that isn't
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: part of the equation there, And you're right, it's it's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit difficult, but we enjoy being around it
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and involved in it, and so we'll just continue to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: knock it out as best we can.

  Speaker 2: you're back to where you were a few weeks ago.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right back. And by the way, and this is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: this is cool. It's just an added thing. I I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: want people to know that this is never taken for
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: granted and always greatly appreciated when people tell me and say, hey,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: we turned down the TV sound and turn up.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: You guys, you do a great job.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: We enjoy the broadcast, blah blah blah, and I thank
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: them for that, and I'm truly grateful for that. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the reason why even bring this up is apparently you're
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: not going to have to You're going to be able
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to have both without having to involve.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Sinking it up. The simulcast they're doing that again?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Was it the hometown radio broadcasts of both Texas and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Arizona State. My good friend Tim Healey calls Arizona State
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Sun Devils football and who's going to join us in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the program of arm His broadcast SYNCD up to that,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and I think ours is going to be.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It might be on SEC network. I'm not one hundred
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: percent certain about that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm guessing it'll be on SEC network, Yes, PN
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: plus something like that, because they did it last year
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a few Texas Washington game. But I think that may
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: have aired on one of the linear yeah, like eight
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: or nine or whatever. It's one of those.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I just saw an email today about that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that that our broadcast will be available on one of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: those platforms there and one of those it's the same
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: telecast you're getting.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: But it'll be our broadcast on it, shoot Craig.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Between that and the Texas basketball games that are being
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: asimuilcast it on ESPN Plus and SEC Network Plus, you
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: might need to get some TV money.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Some folks were saying, now, I understand why he's on
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the radio, you know that kind of thing. No, I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: really appreciate it, and I just wanted to let you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: know that that you won't have to work as hard
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to do it because they're gonna have it SYNCD up,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: just like they did the Sugar Bowl last year. Okay, Now,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I wanted to jump to a couple of NFL things
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: before we get to the break. Did you see the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: story about Teddy Bridgewater Eddy two Gloves.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: He's back. He's back. He's back.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: When he said, what do you mean he's back, He's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: come out of it retirement and he signed with the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions today and they're like, wait minute, They got
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Jared Goff, Yes, Jared Goff is the number one guy.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Well got Hendon Hooker too, the guy for Tennessee. Yes,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: they do. And Dan Campbell said he is not displeased
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: or disappointed with Hindon Hooker, but they had an opportunity
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to sign Bridgewater, and they did. Here's the real interesting wrinkle.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Who is their backup?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: They don't tell me. I just said his name. They
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: said they weren't disappointed with him. Oh sorry, it must
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: be the flues Hendon Hooker, the former ten. Yeah. I
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: understand why they're looking for a backup.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Well, he said, it does not mean they're disappointed with
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Hindon Hooker.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course not. But here's the interesting thing.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He's been looking to get back in the Bridgewater has
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and of course he's had all the injuries and everything.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: So then you say, well, what's he been doing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: He's been coaching his alma monter Miami Northwestern, which is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: one of the outstanding high school football programs in the country.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And what did they do last weekend? They did the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: same thing the Vandergrift Vipers did. They won the state championship.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: So they won a state championship, and now he's signed
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: with the Lions. Here's his quote. He said, my team
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: knows that's the plan. We wanted to win a state championship.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And then coach goes back to the league, see what happens,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: then comes back in February in the offseason, continue coaching
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: high school football. We'll see how it plays out. Now,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That's what he told the insiders from NFL Network. He
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: told them that last week. So there had been several
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: NFL coaching inquiries about him getting involved in coaching. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: was saying coach, but being involved, but he wanted to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: try to win a championship as a player before he
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: entertained those opportunities. He's thirty two. He did spend last
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: season as the backup behind Jared Goff. Campbell says he's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: been in touch with him for a while. So, yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: there's something happening there. So we'll be back on the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: roster Lions this week. The Lions have an important game
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that next week is the game with Minnesota, the huge,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the huge, huge game they play at San Francisco Monday night. Yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Teddy could start that game there. I think they'd be fine, right,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Hindon Hooker could start that game, He'll be okay.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: But still fighting for this number one seed because Minnesota
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: reviewses to die. Yeah, Philly, you know now they're after
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that lost to Washington. Now on you know, a game behind,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: but still I think mathematically are still could win the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: one seed.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So Detroit still in a battle here, well, here are
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the scenarios. Kansas City has wrapped up number one seed.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Of course throughout the playoffs, they've clinched it and home
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: field advantaged throughout the AFC playoffs. Did you see the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: follow up story today with Patrick Mahomes about his wife.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Let's see, so she's she's pregnant, right or something like that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: She's expecting any day now. Okay, So what Patrick is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: working on and hopefully I don't know if he's working on,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: but he's hoping. He said he wants a bye week
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: baby because they they finished the regular season.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Let's see, in one game left and I believe it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: it's next Sunday, it's Denver.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: It's at Denver. Is when it is what it is
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: and which they needed to not need to play their starters.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: No, now Denver may need it go hold on to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a wild card spot because right now I think they're
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: in the seventh spot. They may need that win. So
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to see, you know about competitive balance
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and all that other kind of stuff. But following that,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to get a buye in the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs, and he's really hoping the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: baby arrives during the during the bye and you just
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: know for Mahomes and the Chiefs, that's probably the way
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: it's going to work out, you know, is.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Next Sunday, the first Sunday where every single game is
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a flex game because there's no kickoff times or anything announced.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And it's a smart decision. So the NFL doesn't put
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a stupid game in Sunday Night Football like Commanders Cowboys, Right,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: but a.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Time might matter for the Commanders. Yeah, no matter for
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So uh, the listen, the game, the game that you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: figure has got to be flex is going to be
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Lions Vikings.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: It's got to be right because that's both teams win
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: The Yeah, for the one seed as well as the division.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You're either going to be one the number one seed
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: in Central North NFC North champions, or you're gonna be
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the five seed and on the road in the first round,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: either at LA, where the Vikings have already lost this year,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: or Atlanta or Tampa Bay. LA moved past those teams
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: with well, Atlanta moved up with their win, Tampa Bay
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: losing to the Cowboys dropped them out of the three seed.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: What'd you make of that?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: By the way, how about the Cowboys that that had
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to be their best performance of the season.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Well, also, Tampa Bay's entire secondary's depleted. You know, Baker
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Mayfield's losing receivers middle of the game. I think I
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: would start a cornerback for Tampa Bay. I didn't think
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: anything of it, correct, Okay, but Jerry Jones did. He's
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: fired up this quote that in this This really got
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: me going, even though I'm in and out of consciousness
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: this week weekend, he said. Jerry Jones said, quote, Mike
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: McCarthy has the team playing like they're playing for a
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: super Bowl. But here's the funny thing, Jerry Jones, they're
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: not because the Cowboys are eliminated. They are eliminated from
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the playoff contention. So how are you using hypotheticals, Well,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: they're playing like they would be playing. No, they weren't
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: because beginning of the season, Jerry, when it matters, and.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: That's what he was saying. I'm not going to hypathetical
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: They were almost out of the playoff conversation two months
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: into the season. So it's just it's funny to me
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: how he can say they're playing like a super Bowl
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: team when they're out of the playoffs. What do you mean,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. But he's coming back. I know he's coming back.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: You know what I said that. I said this on
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the air when you weren't with us the other day.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I said on Monday, the Cowboys win their last two games,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and I don't see him beating Philadelphia, although Jalen Hurts
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: got banged up, but they be. But if they find
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a way to win in Philadelphia and then they beat
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the Commanders something they finished with winning record, they finished
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: nine and eight, that will bring Mike McCarthy back. I
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: think he's back no matter what. Okay, the way Jerry's talking,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I think he comes back no matter what, which means
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I will not be back for twenty twenty five.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You'll be continuing your boycott, all right when we come back,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and we will in a few minutes. We'll run down
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: some of those clinching scenarios and also some bold stuff
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: for you when we continue on Sports Radio DAUM thirteen
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: under the zone of the IR Radio app
