  Speaker 1: It is Togatz, the company presented by FanDuel on the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: FanDuel Sportsbook. The last time we spoke to this person,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: he started his new ESPA. Well, since the last time
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we talked to this person, he has started his new
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: show on ESPN Radio with his son, Mike Goldick Junior.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: But also he has taken the radio color analyst job
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. So much for slowing down, Mike Golic Senior.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Jesus, listen, I man, I may have bitten off more
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: than a right daily radio show Notre Dame Radio and
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: then and then Westwood One Sunday Night Football Radio.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I this is all a ploy for my wife to
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: keep me out of the house and keep me from retiring.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, happy wife, happy life, Mike.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: No one is doing more than you to.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Make her happier by being out of the house seven
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: days a week.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: What are you thinking, man.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Listen, I don't know.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna give this, give us to go,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: and we'll say, well, give it a go. I'm on
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: of contract with ESPN, I'm on contract with Notre Dame,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and I'm under contract with us with one. So there
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: really is just buckling up and doing it is what
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: there is.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Mike, Will anything make you happier than being in the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: booth calling those Notre Dame games?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine much will make you happier.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: This was really a labor of love.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, for as much as I have been associated
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: with Notre Dame since my brother first went there in
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five, to my whole family there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: And I was owning a home there.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, people always ask me what team do you
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: root for, thinking in the pro sports and I say none.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I said, the team is Notre Dame that I certainly
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: have an affinity for, and yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: This we have season tickets.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So I was in the stadium watching games before I
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: go do my Sunday night NFL game. But now I
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: will just switch seats to the booth and call it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm stoked and looks like it could be
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: a great year for Notre Dame.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: So really, really, this is a labor of love.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You'll just have to do away with those tailgating parties,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: those legendary golic tailgates, right.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Oh no, I'll still get hammer before the game.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Are you trying to get back into the house? What
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: are you doing there? I mean, yeah, yeah, how about it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Huh yeah, that a lot. That will be interesting. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the whole year starts out in Wisconsin. A lambeau Field
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: this year playing against Wisconsin. So that's the heck of
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a way to open the season. I heard Evan Cohen,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: who is a friend of mine, Mike, you'll laugh at this.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I was his camp counselor way back when, and really yes,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: at a sleep away camp.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: It was called Campwinaukee.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I was one of his counselors way back when he
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: went to Wisconsin. I am super proud of him. But
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I heard he made some sort of lame bet with
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you guys involving the spread Wisconsin Notre Dame.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Am I correct, Well, that was amazing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: He been something if he just said, you know, hey,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame looks like they're gonna be good this year.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: My team Wisconsin is still trying to get going under
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Luke Fickle.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: You know, maybe we can make a wager with the points.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: But he didn't do that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: He said, I Wisconsin team is back.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: He was singing their praises from the highest of high mountain,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: talking about how good Wisconsin's gonna be, and then said
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: he wanted to have a bet with me and my
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: son Mike, with the points, which I think is twenty
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: two and a half. I'm like, if you're gonna talk,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna talk that much smack about how good
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: your team is, then man up and do it by
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: by straight.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Up no points.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, congratulations, your team lost by twenty one exactly.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah it was only a three touchdown loss, but you
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: won the bet.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Mike.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I know you so well, so I know that you enjoyed.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You love Hall of Fame weekend. You don't love attending it,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you don't have to attend, but you love the weekend.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You love validation, and you love those speeches. Correct who
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: loved the speech?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And again it's not we all know what the player
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: did to get into the Hall of Fame. I love
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the support groups going back to middle school to high
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: school to college, the people that were important in their
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: lives because you never do it alone.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: You always have a group behind you.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Is it a mom, a dad, an uncle and aunt,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: a friend, a coach, the wife, a kid?
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, who was there?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And I just love love those stories, I really really do.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Were you nervous? Mike?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: We're a day away from preseason game number one? And
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I am wondering, did you ever get nervous before preseason games?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: What was that feeling like for you before you actually
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: played a game, finally played a game.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, I absolutely I was nervous.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I was a tenth rounder, you know, I was not
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: guaranteed a slot on the team, so I was playing
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: in these preseason games. The goal to get to if
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: you're an NFL or really any professional athlete who plays
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: preseason games, your goal is to not have to play
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: in them.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: That is the goal.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: If a coach would have ever come up to me
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: in my nine years and said, hey, we're gonna sit
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you this game, I would have been ecstatic, but that
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: never really happened to me. So yeah, I was nervous.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: This is when I you know, practice is one thing.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Obviously they evaluate practice, but then it's the preseason games
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: where guys in my position get a lot of reps
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and either you know you're gonna make the team or
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: you're not going to make the team.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I was nervous.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: All right, I am told we now have the jokes
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: from now I'm told that we don't have the jokes
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: from Adam Vinnittie minitary.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Just forget the bad joke.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, oh my I don't have my normal staff here.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I was born.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I just felt like talking to you. I'm sorry, Oh
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: my god. What'd you make of the vikings?
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Go?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I'm not going back to the jokes, Carlos, so forget
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: No, we're done with that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, Golak's got to leave here.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: What do you make of Kyler Murray being named the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback? I guess if you're going to bring in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, you're gonna take a flyer Kyler Murray, Flyer Murray.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I guess he's the guy you have to start for
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: the upside.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think you had to start him because it
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: wasn't a money thing. They're only paying him one point
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: three million. He's getting thirty five mil from Arizona. So
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I still think if JJ McCarthy would have beat him out,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that they would have started him. But listen, I had
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: reservations when JJ McCarthy was taken in the first round.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I just didn't think he was a first round quarterback.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: And this just goes to tell us that it wasn't
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: really a competition. When you make the decision before you
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: even get to preseason games, then it wasn't really a competition,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So Kyler and Kyler Murray listen. He is purely in
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a position of betting on himself because according to his deal,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: they can't franchise tag him. So he is a free
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: agent at the end of this year, no matter what,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: to be signed by anybody. So if he has a
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: great he has put himself in a great position. The
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: real question is gonna be what happens with JJ McCarthy
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: going into his third year. You can renegotiate, or you
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: can negotiate an extension with that first round drafter the
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: third year. That's not gonna happen, right, They're not going
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: to pick up his fifth year option.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: The big question is gonna be.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Do you keep him as a backup because he's twenty
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: three years old and really just starting his career, or
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: do you say, okay, maybe we can get some for
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: him and we trade him away. He just he just
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: hasn't really lived up it, some by injury, which is
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: in his fault, and some by just bad play. Yeah,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: so that he's in a real tough spot.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: He is.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how that thing plays out.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like, Mike, we're disrespecting. You know, we all
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: talk about the LA Rams and it's rams of the field,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and you know the Seahawks are sitting in that same
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: division saying, hey, we beat him, We beat him a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: couple of times. We went to the Super Bowl, we
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl, and no one's talking about us.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Is that a positive for the Seahawks? Can they use
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that as a chip because they are being disrespected?
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Well, you can.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I mean you can listen. Players and or coaches will
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: find anything to put a chip on your shoulder. And
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: does it make you work harder in the offseason?
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Does it make you.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Work harder in preseason and in training camp?
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I buy that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: At the professional level, it certainly doesn't matter when the
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: game starts.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: You're going to play hard in the game. If you're
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: playing harder in a game.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Because of that, I would question you if you're gonna
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: play your hardest.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: In the game no matter what.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean looking from the outside looking in,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: you would say they're being disrespected, But it also tells.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: You just how or just what is thought of Miles.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Garrett and potentially Aaron Donald. I think we all think
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Aaron Donald is coming back I think it's more a
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: feather in their cap of saying just how dominant of
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a player Miles Garrett is to be on that team,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and then the possible addition re addition of Aaron Donald
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: to put them as the favorites.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I think it speaks more about those guys.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: You buy it into the Cowboys like everyone else seems
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: to be.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Not really, because you look at the players that they
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: brought in, right the Rashaan Gary's at Kenny Clark the year.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Before, and I'm missing.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Williams quinnin Williams right, none of those guys in their
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: careers have ever had double digit sacks, right, so, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Michael Parsons regularly had double digit sacks, tons of pressures.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: You had the game plan around Michael Parsons and you
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: traded them, still a trade I would.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Never have done.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: But it looks like they're putting pieces together, but it's
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: only on paper right now. I'm interested to see what
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Caleb Downs will do their draft pick that will kind
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: of run the defense as the safety that the multiversaal safety.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: That they have.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: But no, I am definitely not saying, oh yeah, they've
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: done it. They've put some nice.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Names in there. But let's see if you get the production.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: And congrats to Quinn Williams getting paid the move did wow?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, oh unbelievable. Yeah, really amazing. And you gotta give
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones credit. He's been quiet during the off season.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: He really has.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: And it's probably best, right, I mean, at some point,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: at some point, you just have to let the play
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: on the field do the talking. You know, you have
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: one since ninety six. You do have three Super Bowl trophies,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: which is impressive, but it has nothing.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: For thirty years.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's time to He's made some great he
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: is Stephen Jones have made some good moves acquiring defensive players.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Let's see in practical application what it does.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Mike, who's the quarterback? Will get you out of here
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: to second?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Check him out every weekday ten to noon, the Golicks
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: him and his son on ESPN Radio. Who's the quarterback
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: that you're most interested in seeing? In terms of is
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: he going to grow into the quarterback? I think he's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: going to be, whether it be Justin Herbert or Caleb Williams,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: or maybe it's Jaden Daniels. Who is the guy who's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the quarterback that Mike Golick is keeping an eye on
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: because you want to see him make that next step.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I think I think a guy I'm looking at
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: is is Jordan Love.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Green Bay.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: That's a great one because.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: The Packers, the Packers are right there, I mean the Packers,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: and that division was the only division last year that
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: had all winning records, right everybody. The Minnesota in de
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: front were nine and eight, and then you had a
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: nine and seven and one and eleven and six. So
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that's the most competitive division in football. And I think
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the Packers now know Michael Parsons for the first six weeks,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: which hurts, But I'll be I'm gonna interested to see
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Jordan Love and really probably Caleb Williams two of his
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: next step. But but you wanted me to give you one,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: I'll say Jordan.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Love, all right, Mike, We we discussed this right when
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the season was over, how much we were going to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: miss it, but we were looking forward to a little offseason.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: It is two weeks away.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: We are back, how about that. I mean, we are back.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: We are better than ever. I mean, it is it
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: is here. They're preseason games were loading up on them.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's kind of that you know
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: just that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Ah yeah, moment like we made it. We made it
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: through the dold rooms.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: We made it from baseball right.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, we now have non stop football through February.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, and you have NonStop work through February.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Oh my god.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Yeap, So get some rest, my friend. We're happy for you.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Dream jobs one with your son at ESPN and in
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the booth for Notre Dame. And then you know, Westwood
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: won for a little extra cash.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, it really you step back and you
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: think about it. It really is cool something I definitely
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: want to take advantage of, even though I'm freaking sixty three.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: You think I'd be cutting things out instead of adding.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Things, Yeah, well you should be, but that's your decisions.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: By the way, I heard the show got off to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a flying start first day. Gullick Junior texted me during
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the first break. It said, if you listen to that
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: first segment, you'd never be prouder of me about that.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, he immediately brought your name up, and we
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: thought of you.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: He just absolutely flubbed it up. I mean, ten seconds
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: into the.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Show, talk about getting it out, talk about the old
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: line of you never have a perfect show. Well, he
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: decided ten seconds in to live that theory.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: The perfect game was ruined after three minutes.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, nice, you know what three minutes, ten seconds.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: But I can say then the pressure was off. We
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: had already screwed.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Up, that is, and you were perfect of course. Yes, yes,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you're a Hall of Famer, Mike. We appreciate it. We
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: will talk to you again in the next couple of weeks.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But good luck with the show. I know it's going well.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Most importantly, congratulations to you. I am happy for.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: You doing it with Junior. I am more happy that
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: you're doing Notre Dame in games this year. That's gonna
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: be fun.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks to you.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Got it.
