  Speaker 3: actually have in my wife.

  Speaker 1: It really really is.

  Speaker 3: people like him and I. Every time I get sick
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: or anything, He's always there to wish you me prayers
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and all that. So to have an opportunity to spend
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: some time this evening with him, to me is just unbelievable.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So all right, Trevor, let's talk about your background. For
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: those of you that are getting to know you a
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: little bit, let's talk about well, just give us a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: little background about your forecasting and your life and just
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: in general for those getting in you for the first time.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm twenty five years here now in Detroit. Scott
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: moved here in May of two thousand to join Fox
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Sports with the regional sports reports covering everything that moved
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: around here at that time. We did all kinds of
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: high school stuff. We followed Michigan Michigan State whenever they
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: would go to the Rolls Bowl or the Sweet sixteen
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: National Championships, all that kinds of thing, high school sports,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: golf that would come to town, the auto races that would
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: come to town, everything that moved here at that time. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: then for the last fifteen years, I guess it's more
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: focused on the pro sports, and we've had the rights
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to the Tigers and the Pistons and the Red Wings
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: also did some Lions coverage back in the day, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I am now on the side doing a podcast Believe
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in Lions right now, which has been a lot of fun.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So the last twenty five years have been spent here
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: in Detroit, and I grew up on an hour the
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: other side of the border, so I knew everything Detroit.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I grew up watching the Wings and the Tigers and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the Pistons play. Had a great opportunity along the way
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to work with George Blaja, who's one of my childhood idols,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: So to get to work with him on air was
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: one of those dream come true. I pinched me moments
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: in my career because I grew up so close and
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: watching those teams on the other side of the border.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But Prior to that, I worked in Toronto for three
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: years with CTV Sports Net covering the Maple Leafs, covering
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the Raptors, the Argonauts, the Blue Jays. It was a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: lot of fun covering everything in Toronto. And then I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: was out in Vancouver also for three years working with
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the Canucks and the Grizzlies when they were out there
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: as an in house reporter for at the time it
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: was Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment. So I started in
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the business on Hockey Night in Canada. That's way back when.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety two, Ron McLain gave me my very
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: first job as a runner on Hockey Night in Canada.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So I got to work with Ron McLain and Don
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Jerry at the time, and then it all took off
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: from there. So we're going back well over thirty years,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: thirty five years. It almost sounds like you're talking about
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: someone else when you just recount those number of years
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and all those experiences. But it's been one hell of
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a ride that I could never have imagined when it
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: all started out from where I grew up in a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: town of twenty five hundred Dresden, Ontario, just about an
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: hour and a half from Detroit, so it's great to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: be close to home. It's been great to have an
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: opportunity to cover teams I watched as a kid. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: now near the end of the career, at least the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: job at the network Fox what was once Fox Sports
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: is over. Now I'm looking for new opportunities. But looking back,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: it was just a hell of a ride.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Guy, let me tell you something. I can't believe they're
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: making these Rancouver references. I actually had a chance to
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: cover a Canucks game over the Pacific colisem and I
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: ended up meeting Dave Hodge over there and Darcy Roade
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I think was the actual p R guy up there.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: That's unbelievable. I got to hang out with Dave Hodge
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and I know, yeah, they did have the Vancouver Grizzlies
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: back in the day when and the NBA team.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Very few people realize that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: We don't know about the Canucks and and of course
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: John Saunders is a guy the had opportunity to get
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to know as well.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: So what you're was a like fantastic purpose a person
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: or other.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's unbelievable. Tell me what it was like work
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: with Johnny.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: He was just such a true pro but a gentleman
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and working with him. He was someone I had watched
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: on TV and then to have a chance to work
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: with him again in one of those pinchby moments that
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you're doing something you've never even conceived possible. But there
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I am working on broadcast with him, covering the Vancouver Grizzlies,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: learning from him, being mentored a bit by him. But
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I found out when the game was over and we
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: shut down production and went for a meal and a drink.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Just a wonderful, wonderful person and a guy who had
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a big passion for hockey. Another Canadian who made his
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: name on the American side of the border, and just
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a guy I always looked up to because of the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: person that he was and the broadcast, the professional that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: he was, and he's dearly. Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I actually played for the Western Michigan broncos. I'm actually
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: wearing a sure Western Michigan in honor of John Saunders.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: And they actually won a championship this past year with.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: No nil earning.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: That's that's just unbeivable thing in itself. So I'm believable
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: how you can reminisce it. You know, It's funny how
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you and I. As we get a little bit older,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: we know that at the end of our careers are
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: what they are. But I have no regret because I
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: realized that the access is really starting at the windle.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: The industry is changing. I don't feel I feel bad
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: for the younger people getting in the business. You and
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I have had a chance to work with it once.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: It's really been good.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It really is now.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: It's just it's younger generation. You know, we got in
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: at the right time. I have a feeling we're kind
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: of getting out of it a little bit and back
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: and off at the right time, don't you agree.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Well, everything's changed so much, and you think back to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: like twenty five years ago when I first started here
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: in Detroit. For example, people a podcast was a name
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that wasn't even invented at the time. These kinds of
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: things weren't happening. But now anybody who has a passion
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: a television, a microphone, can be a reporter, can have
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: their own voice, can be a podcaster or a broadcaster.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: And you go inside the dressing rooms now and everybody's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: recording their postgame interviews on cell phones and distributing it
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: on the internet instantly. So nobody tunes in to things
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: like the old Detroit Sports Report they had. We're using
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: that glass right now, but that's what we called our
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: news show back in the day. Nobody tunes into those
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: things anymore. No one really tunes into Sports Center. You
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: could just go on get the highlights you want. Everybody
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: consumes it over their tablet or their cell phone. Nobody
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: really sits and watches an entire game anymore. The newspaper
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: is archaic. You can't find a newspaper. Everybody goes on
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the internet and finds what they want. But those days
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: of opening up the sports page, going through the box
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: score for the night before, those are all by gone days.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: And our day when every camera guy carried a camera
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: around on his shoulder, and guys blew their shoulders out
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: over careers lugging those heavy things around, those days are
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: gone as well. Now everything's on a little card like this,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and you stick it in the machine and you run
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and you go, and there's no more a live truck.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Remember the live trucks now, the mobile satellite trucks that
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: used to be at all the new scenes or all
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the sporting events, those things are gone. So much has
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: changed the industry is so different right now, and the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: way people consume boo, their sports and their content is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: so different right now that this business is barely recognizable.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Better or for worse, I won't really call it. It's
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: just changing times, but it certainly is a lot different.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: The people are a lot different, the motives are a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: lot different, The people who have access are a lot different.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You don't need access to have a voice. All that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: has changed as well. And really, if you think about it,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Scott too, a lot of the athletes do their own
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: branding right now thanks to the social media. They get
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: on their own Instagram page, and they get on their
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: own Twitter page and they show you behind the scenes
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: of their life, their kids, whatever it might be, their
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: own thoughts they can share that way, so they really
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: don't need the media in that sense as well. So
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that's been a big change as well. So, yeah, the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: world's changing. The way sports broadcasting is growing has certainly changed.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: You have to adapt with it, accept it, and change
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and show your ability to reinvent yourself otherwise you're going
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to get left behind. So you have to keep up
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: with the times. But yeah, things are definitely a whole
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: lot different than they were years and years ago when
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you were here in the MotorCity with me, my friend.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, I know, I'm telling you. When we were on,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: we felt like it was a privilege to be there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: We didn't take what we'd do for granted. Now you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the way I look at it is nothing against the generation,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: But I like it when we were there because we
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: took everything seriously. We believed in postgame interviews and grinding
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: out and all that. Like even Tom Gage, I had
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: him on a few weeks ago and he says, one
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: thing I loved about you, Scott is the way you
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: used to go out there and hang out by the
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: banning cage and get people's here and get information. Calls
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: me industrios, which is really kind of neat the time
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: you would say that. He said, why did you ever
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: get into play by play? You got the boy for it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Never I didn't have the names like Buck, Terry and
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: all these other guys where I could get my foot
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: in the door.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I had to do the old passionate wave
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: scrap for every chance I got to do that. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? Right?
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: And now I get to do this stuff like with
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: everybody else. But the reality of the situation is this, Trevor.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I mean it could be a play by play guy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I want maybe a dart good one on one interview
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: for God's sake, and go ballistically behind him like, well
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: there's energy. And you know one of my pupils is
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: actually in the chet room named Jeremy Bulrick. He says,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: good evening. I'm one of those, Trevor, And it's how
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I started right for me. Teltflord Tribune is a digital
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: publication and the way I ended up going out there
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: and doing this is I had the foresight to understand
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: that these things are going out, so I went digital
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: before I even had to go print. And that's how
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I was able to get because I knew all the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: industry experience I had with prints going away.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody knows. So that's why we decided to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: do it this way.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: We started with.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Print, then added the broadcast stuff later. He says, I
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: have a voice for radio and a face, but as
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: he's a good guy. He's one of the guys I've trained,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: and Jeremy's definitely calling a long way. But you're right,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: trev there's no question about it that you know. It's
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: great when when you and I work together. It's just
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: for real. It really was the way we understand what
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: you know. That's why I wrote a book, Trevor Old
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Schools Versus the New School Lessons from my Phone, which,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: by the way, you are in it, and I will
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: get you a copy. My goal is to make sure
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I get it in person. If I can't, Candy's gonna
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: mail us here. But my goal is to get it
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: to a person, because then I get a hug with it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I can't ask you this business. So as to continue on,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: let's talk about the lions a little bit, and I'm
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: going to be jumping all over the place a little bit.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: When it's all said and done, we're going to leave
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: no stones unturned. Barry Sanders obviously had ninety nine career
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: rushing touch up and never spiked the ball once. That
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: to me is this unheardabook that Barry standards man.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: What an amazing guy. And to watch his documentary Barry,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it was fascinating. And he's such a humble guy. And
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you see him around town still to this day. Such
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a humble guy, such a likable guy, a golf fanatic.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I've seeing him on the golf course as well, even
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: in the summer in passing at the Cherry event. The
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: guy is still giving back of his time. But I
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: think one of the things I admired most about them
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: is the way he played the game with such humility.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And when I watched the documentary he talked about his
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: dad was the one who kept him humble because his
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: dad continued to tell him throughout his career, no matter
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: what he did, You're not better than Jim Brown, you know.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: So there's always somebody better. There's always someone who came
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: before you who you have to pay that kind of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: homageen respect to. But certainly Jim Brown was a great one.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: But I do believe and will always contend that Barry
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Sanders was the best to ever do it. Certainly the best.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I saw it with my own two eyes.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Well, well I have four, so I believe that too.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I'll take Barry Sanders over m Smith all day long. Documentary.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Have you watched that one America's Team, the one about
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys with Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Emmitt Smith and the whole crew that it went through
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: eight episodes of it. It was fabulous TV watching for sure.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you can give me Barry Sanders over Emmitt
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Smith any day.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Well, as you met Jerry Jones back in Phoenix a
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: long time ago. And here's what happened. I talked to
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Jerry when Kansas City wanted to go ahead and take
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: away that Thanksgiving game and Jerry Jones and I asked
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Jerry about this, Jerry, can I ask you a question?
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, Terry, I'll talk to anybody, because that's the
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: kind of person he is. I've seen ms probably Jerry
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: to Little Lions lose that Thanksgiving game, Chest don't do it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: He said, no, you don't have to worry about it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I'll make sure nothing happens. Detroit will not lose it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: And what do you think happens? Okay, they ended up
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: coming up on a night game.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: By the way, Jeremy's going out there and definitely promoting
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: his YouTube channel.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: This guy loves you, man.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: He said he can't fight with MotorCity Lions. He's well,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you know, he's runing to promoted. He's enjoying the show.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I follow Scott with fire up and with Kadian Scott's wife.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Scott's wife, So tell me I didn't trade this one.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Bulrick, right, I'm telling you, this guy knew you
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: were coming on here knowing he's falling you. So all right,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Trevor knows who you are. Maybe one day they'll
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: get him back on I'll bring out. But this is
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: for him and I tonight. But at least you're the
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: artificial third guy in here, knowing that you're out there
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: tom Many and the room which is greatly don't worry.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Trevor's got your eyes and he got your attention. But
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: as far as Jerry Jones, no, I'll go ahead and
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: take Barry all day long. But at least the one
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: thing I say about Jerry though the Lions were never
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: going to lose that Thanksgiving game, and he told me that,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you I wouldn't bet against this guy anyhow.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, I like the Cowboys as for the America's team,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: but the owners are billionaire owner for a reason. He
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: built his own palace down in Texas. Although I went
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: to the old Texas Stadium and saw the greatest game
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I ever saw with the Lions and the Cowboys on
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the Lions one in overtime, and I was on the
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: field close to twenty seven minutes. Because you had like
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: fifteen minutes in overtime and the last ten the Cowboys
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: are classing pretty need to be on national TV with
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the Dallas Coubleys and the Lions did one of the
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: greatest memories I've ever had. It's all right, don't talk
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: about the recurrent lines. Give me your assessment of the
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Brian Branch situation and the Kansas City game. I know
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: it was definitely a wake up call. They ended up
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: going out there. It only cost them like seventy six
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: grand to go out there and harasses JUJUSM Suster, But
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I think he could have that was a slap on
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: the roof because he didn't have a previous reputation there.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: How do you assess that whole situation with Branch? I
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: have a feeling you learned his lesson with that little
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: bit of a hiccup. Don't you learned his lesson? Should
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: have known better.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: He's a veteran plays at an all pro level, a
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: guy that you depend on each and every week, a
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: guy that can help you win, a guy you need
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to win. A guy that other players, younger players are
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: going to look up to and model themselves after. He
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: is all of that and more. Inside that room and
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: for that team, Dan Campbell expects more, and Dan Campbell said, so,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Dan Campbell said, it's unacceptable. It's not what we do
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: around here. That's not how we're going to conduct ourselves.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have to deliver that message. I think that
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: he epitomizes that and always has since he took over
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: here and his set a bar and a set of
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: standard that everyone knows that's not only unacceptable, it's not
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: the culture that they're trying to develop. You certainly can't
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: have that from your leaders and the guys on your
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: team that you're expected to help you win, help you
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: get to that super Bowl. To model after if you're
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a younger player, to model yourself after a guy like
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: a Brian Branch unnecessary. The game was over. You win some,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you lose some. I play a whole lot of hockey, Scott,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You know that I grew up playing chech hockey. Everything
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: stop when the whistle stopped. Everything stopped when the game
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: was over. So the game is over, win or lose,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: You take a number. Whatever you do, you salute your opponent,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: you move on. You don't start punching guys in the head.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: At the NFL level on a national game when your
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: backfield's already decimated. You know you could get suspended for this.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: You're putting your team in a bad situation. You're coming
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: home for Monday night football game against the team that
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: is now leading your conference. This is a team you
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: want to keep pace with, a team you want to overtake.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: You need this guy on the field. They are so
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: decimated by injuries in their backfield. Terry and Arnold being out,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: DJ Reid being out right now, Kirby Joseph is gippy.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, one guy after another, all pro level players.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And Terryn Arnold, you know, their first round draft pick
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: of a year ago, in his second year, he's still
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: looking for some help. He needs a little shelter as
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: far as help on that defensive side of the ball.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Can't do it all him stuff, But he's not even
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: going to be available. So when you are hurting your
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: team that's already shorthanded. When you are somebody who knows better,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: when you are somebody that other guys are looking up
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: to and you're supposed to be a mentor and an
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: example for other people, you can't do this. You can't
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: act this way on national TV. You can't put your
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: team in this situation, your coach should need to call
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: you out. No one in the locker room should come
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and have a chat with you, have to tell you, hey, bro,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: we need better from you. You know, you know, and
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: athletes always know that their own harshest critics. And I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: know he would want that one back, But the fact
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: of the matter is he did get suspended for a game.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is they are decimated in
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: their backfield, and the fact of the matter is they
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: are going to miss him on Monday night when Baker Mayfield,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: one of the hottest quarterbacks in the league, comes to
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: town and tries to do what Patrick Mahomes did last week,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and that is take advantage of your battered secondary and
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: light you up. So they're going to miss him. It's
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: going to be a tough week are at home. That's
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: going to help the fact that Tampa Bay's offense is
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: shorthanded coming in is certainly going to maybe balance the scales.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: But it's going to be a really, really good football
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: game to watch. But Brian Branch, everyone will tell him,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: shame on you. He's going to know better. He's obviously
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: going to do better in the future. But this isn't
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the lesson he had to learn. This is something he
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: already knew.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about that. When you think about it,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the Kansas City game was definitely a wake up call.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: I know that Lee McNeil is coming back soon, but nevertheless,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: you're going to eat a whole lot more than that,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Because when I talked about it last night on the
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Sportsune Change, I said, this, you all of a sudden
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: put tape on that Sunday night game, Trevor, and now
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to look at us. Oh, maybe this is
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the way to beat the Lions. That's the last thing
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: you want to do. I'm nationally televised game. It's one
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: thing to get away with him when there aren't as
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: many eyes, but that that's a you don't want to
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: do that. You don't want to do that game brow
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Man National Game Film.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's one thing about it as well. Got
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs led by Andy Reid, who I
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: believe has three Super Bowls to his name, is the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: franchise leader and wins for two different franchises, knows a
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: little bit about coaching. Not every team has Andy Reid coaching.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Not every team has Patrick Mahomes under center and the
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: weapons he has around him to help you succeed to
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: get the Super Bowls and obviously to be an odds
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: on favorite, one of the odds on favorites to get
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: back to the Super Bowl and maybe win it again.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: So you can watch all the game film you want
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: about how the Kansas City Chiefs went about aggravating and
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: defeating the Detroit Lions. But if you don't have the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: personnel and the coaching to get it done, all the
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: film that you want to watch is not going to
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: help you get it done. However, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: are one such team that can get that done. They
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: are leading the NFC right now. They are five and
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: one right now, so they've done something along the way
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: that's proven them to be successful. They've got a great
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: head coach as well, and they're going to come in
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: here ready to play as one of the hottest teams
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. So maybe there are ways they can
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: take advantage, but they will be coming in shorthanded. So
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: whatever film they rail to watch, the fact that they
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: don't have Mike Evans on the field, or Chris Godwin
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: on the field, or a Mecca Abuka on the field
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to help them get this done, or Bucky Irving to
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: help get this done. They are going to be shorthanded.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It will be an uphill battle because Destroy's defense will
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: come all night long, even without Brian Branch. But yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: you will pick up some things on film that you
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: can maybe try to exploit. Having the resources to do
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: that is a whole other story.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: O Katie wants to put all the Jeremy's chance up
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: the guy. Obviously, I don't want Trevor to see this.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: This is the guy I trained, by the way, Okay,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: So you know nowadays in this day and age, for
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: me is not only what I've done in the field,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: but the people I'm actually bringing up. So Barry is
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: a goat of running backs with James Brown. Jim Brown okay,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: he says, James Okay, neither way the same thing. Brian
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: brandtell Brackt, Dory Neilson decline whose appeal could have been
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: on there?
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Let's keep it going there. I trained this guy.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm putting them all up there. Glen Holmesigne
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Kennel Fuller. Al Right, guy, he knows what he's doing.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: He's got their own podcasts. But he talks about several
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: days a week. Anyways, one day to Friday and we'll talk.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Well with a history with the Lions, We've got a
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: lot of other things to do. The ticker here, that's
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: what it is. This guy's the machinery is. Actually his
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: writing has gotten a lot better too. Uh again, I
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: love training people, Trevor. You know you'll talk about us
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: being in the field, but sometimes you like to get
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: back to the industry by.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Being able to train people. Yeah. I mean, if it
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: weren't for people like you and George and all these
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: other guys.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Or Tony DeMarco's on my mentors, and the list goes on,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: and I want to sit here and talking engine individual
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: names you in Georgia. Two of my closest people. Tony
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: DeMarco trained me. And the list goes on and on.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Another guy with pill Peppy Bett in New York. Everybody
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: that you feel has always contributed to life, want to Dolgen.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: This guy is certainly someone that I don't mind putting
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: this chance up there. I we're gonna now that we
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: will take our mind out the existing lines and then
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: go back to a little bit.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But here, let me ask you.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I actually had Eric Kipple on the show a few
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: weeks ago where we talked about the depression and a
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: lot of things like that. But do you think he's
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: one of the top five quarterbacks in Lion's history behind
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford, Bobby Lane, Greg Landry and Scott Mitchell. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I have a feeling that it's that Actually, to be
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: honest with you, Jared Goff is going to replace Scott Mitchell,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: laye front of them all day long. So well, what
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: about Eric Kipple. Let's talk about Eric hit the person ofimself.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Do you think he's one of the top five.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I would put him in the top five right now.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: And the guy had personality, had some swagger you need
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: that in the quarterback. He had leadership ability, had the
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: big arm. I really like Eric Kipple. I like the
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: fact that he was a personality. There aren't those kinds
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: of personalities in the sport anymore. I think sports as
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: a whole is missing some of that from back in
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the old day. Some throwback players with personality and some
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: people that would, you know, sort of rub you the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: wrong way on the field and get the most out
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: of you as an opponent as well, you know, And
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: he was certainly that type of guy on the field.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: So I really liked THEREK Kipple like his body of work.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I respect his body of work at that time with
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the Lions, and I would put him in the top
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: five absolutely say.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I had fun with him on this one and said, Eric,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: don't you feel you made a career on that opening
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: night when you have demolished to Chicago Bears And I
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: know your restu of your career was salivated.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Let's get real.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: You only had six touchdowns and nine zillions the yards
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: on that for you talk about first and pression. I
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: think the Lions were salivating and we have our first
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: franchise quarterback and beat the daylights out of the Bears. Yeah,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: let's rason. He did go out there and make a
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: career one night. You ever saw that game on Monday Night,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: But that's unbelievable.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I don't recall that particular game, but I do know
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: his overall body it worked. Like I said, I would
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: put him in the top five right now. My number
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: one would have to be Matthew Stafford. And I think
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: one of the underappreciated things about Matthew Stafford while he
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: was here in Detroit is just how tough. That guy
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: was powfer pound. That might be one of the toughest
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the game today, certainly, And I don't know
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: how far back you want to go. I know there
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: were different years and guys played through different things, but
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: that was one tough sob big arm, big moment. Guy
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: didn't take plays off, didn't take games off, regardless of
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: what the situation was here in Detroit. He gave everything
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: he had every single time out there on the field.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: And I just respect the toughness that he played with,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: and not only the talent that he played with, but
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the leadership abilities that he showed. So I really think
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: that the body of work that he had, the players
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: that surrounded him, and what he helped do to the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: culture here lifts him. He would be my number one
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: for now. And if Jared Gotha win a Super Bowl
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: right now, and there were chanting his name all over
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the state last year at every event he went to,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: so certainly popular, he may have a chance to be
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the number one quarterback in Lion's history. But right now,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: with what he was able to do, from what I
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: saw with my own two eyes, Matthew Stafford was hard
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: to beat.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: No, I know I agree with it. There's no way
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to go again to him at number one.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, what forty thousand yards and yeah, Jared Goff,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: go ahead, Jeremy the ticker or unofficial ticker. But yet
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: we all know that Jared Goff will laid number one
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: if he's able to get a Super Bowl in his pocket.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: We know playing quarterback obviously is a tough position Detroit,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: welso know that Jared goffa doesn't get a lot of
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: praise for the toughness. A lot of people that know football,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: they do praise with Jeremy. But Matthew Stafford has the
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: caveat with the yards right now, and that's way so
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: far he gets the edge. And now he does have
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: a Super Bowl championship with a Rams team for sure.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: So with all due respect, now I'm going Stafford all
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: day long number one. I would pull him for him
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: to win the Super Bowl in the Rams, and I'm
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: glad he did. But the amazing part about it, brat
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Home is such a genius that he traded one quarterback
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: for the other and also got draft capital to go
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: with it. So it turned out to be in one
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: of those situations Trevor where he had a train that
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: was a win win for both tames is really what
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: it was, and I'm glad it worked out. So let's
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: speaking of Jared Goff. Let's not talk about only would
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: his quarterback play. What about Jared Goff? The person is
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: he donated fifteen point nine million bonus and sponsorship earn.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: He's a homeless shelter in Detroit, helped on one hundred
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: and fifty units of housing with three hundred shelter beds.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: What's he like to work with? And have you ever
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: gotten to know?
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Was why Christian arper Golf, the fourtel trade model who
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: recently had a child, because it seemed like a really
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: good people.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I watched him on that Quarterback documentary that was
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: on Netflix as well, and behind the scenes, he and
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: his wife looked just like the couple next door, you know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: people you would love to have over for dinner, People
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: you'd love to have over and barbecue on the weekend
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and sit on the deck and have a cold one
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and just fellowship with me. He seems like a really
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: down to earth sort of guy. She seems like the
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: same type of person, and they just seem like really grounded,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: family oriented type of people. Off the field, on the field,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: and around the team. He's a quiet leader, but I
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: think that the numbers he puts up speaks for the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: talent that he has for himself. But I also I
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: think a group like this, if he wasn't a Dan
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Campbell guy at heart, I mean not by his makeup,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: his grit, his composure, his character, his toughness, his willingness
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: to do whatever it takes to win, he wouldn't be
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the quarterback here in Detroit. Played and simple. I think
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: that everybody in that team, everybody associated with that team,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: is hand picked. Everybody that's surrounding that and part of
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: that culture, especially in that leadership group, is hand picked.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: And I really think that if you're not their type
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: of guy, if they don't see this in you, regardless
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: of what your exterior demeanor may present, if they don't
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: see it in you underneath, you're not going to be here.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: You're not the type of player that they want. They
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: didn't bring back Davonte Smith Desirius Smith for a reason.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: There was something there. Even though they needed an edge rusher,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: there was something about him that didn't fit the culture
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: and didn't fit in so they didn't bring him back.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that at the quarterback position, especially
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: in that leadership role. If Jared Goff didn't have that makeup,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't think he'd be here. So he looks like
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: a quiet guy, unassuming guy away from Auschuck's guy away
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: from the field. But I think that guy's makeup, that
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: guy's heart, that guy's character is that of a champion,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and he'll eventually get there here in Detroit. It'll be
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: fun to watch.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you brought him up. So let's go
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to Zadarius Smith.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Obviously, they put ed Marcus Davenport on the IRA, and
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: you already stated that Zadaria Smith was not a Dan Campbell.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: They could have had him because it was available.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: So he waited for them to come here. And I
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: didn't think that he wasn't. I always thought that after
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the draft they would get this done. They were waiting
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: to maybe get some other contract signed and weigh you
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: some money thing, or maybe he didn't want to go
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: to training. Camp kept kicking that can down the road
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: and it just never happened. And then Dan Campbell uttered
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: that famous line, we're good and he moved on. And
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: then maybe they did know something because He retired just
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: two days ago on Instagram from the Philadelphia Eagles after
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: joining them when the season was already started. So maybe
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: there were some things underlying already about Darius Smith that
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: we don't know, that they don't know. And whenever there's
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: something that goes on Scott in sports, I've learned to
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: ask myself one question if it doesn't make sense or
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: you're wondering why something happened, I always say to myself,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: what don't I know? There's always something they know more
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: than we do. With the way they break the game down,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: with the analytics, whatever it might be, with their security,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: with everything they know behind the scenes, medical reports, et cetera,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. They know more than we know,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: and we don't always know why they make their decisions.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: But I ask, what is there that I don't know?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: And those are always questions that we really have to
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: ask ourselves when things don't make sense, because they do
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: no more than us, and they do these things for
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: a reason. They do it for a living. They're all
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: about winning, and if a guy can help you win,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: you're gonna bring him in, and otherwise you want no parts.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: And they decided they didn't want any parts, and now
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: he's out of football, so they know something we didn't.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you hit a bullseye with that one tremp.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Really seriously, really, those are my feet favorite wards. Although
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I could be a more even killed with you about
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: the whole thing, but you're right. The guy was sitting
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: around all summer. You kind of handed whatever you wanted
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, was it the money or not?
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Because he got a nine million of pillion, know, I
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: mean bolt it anyway, So Dan Campbell, you know it's
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: called that work called instincts. Dan Campbell, guy, you are
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: even nail it really certainly, really I have to get this.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: And Brad Holmes too. This guy's got an eye for talent.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Just look at the drafts, look at the draft picks,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: look at the deals that he's made, Look who he's
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: brought in. This guy has an eye for talent. This guy,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: they know who they want, They know what they want
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: them to do to make up for the guys, and
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: they know what they're building. And I think that everything
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: is done with a purpose. Everybody's brought with a purpose.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think there are any accidents with these guys,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: and I think they really are great talent evaluators, character evaluators,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: and I think they really look underneath. Does this guy
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: have what we're looking for as far as his heart
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: and what he's willing to do to win before we
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: bring him here? And they saw something about Zadarius Smith
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: and maybe they were just unsure about his passion for
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the game. And it was that simple because he did
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: retire right now. So maybe there was something in there
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: that he showed them that he wasn't really fully committed
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: to the game, and maybe that was it in the end.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. I'm not going to pretend to know.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I just know the way that it worked out in
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: the end and how these guys are built and what
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: this team is doing and they're going forward.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you, I've covered the NFL a
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: long time, but everything that you went out there and
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: said is definitely online. He was not a Dan Campbell guy.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: But let me let's go back to Marcus Davenport. The
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: guy hasn't been very healthy with the Lions. What's your
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: take on it? Do you think this guy's going to
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: make it through the year? What are they going to
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: have to do? I know they got to leave my field.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: But you know, Marcus Damvinport, you get what you're paid for,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: and they haven't gotten a whole lot out of this guy.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think, what's your take on Mark until
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: until he proves otherwise he's a guy who's injury prone
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: and the guy you can't rely on every week to
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: be there to help you win. And the coaches will
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: always tell you, I can only work with the guys
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: who are here, the guys who are ready to hear.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about the guys who are injured.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about the guys who are unsigned.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about the guys who are
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: holding out. Don't ask me that I'm working with the
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: guys who are here and the guys who will give
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: me the best chance to win this game tonight, this week,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: whatever the case might be. So I really think in
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the case of Marcus Dasnport, Daffnport, he hasn't proven that
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: he's a guy that you can rely on every week.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: He's not been able to stay healthy. NFL is a
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: tough game. I'm not saying he's brittle, I'm not saying
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: he's anything. The NFL is a tough game, it's a
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: wonder anybody's healthy after training camp or a few weeks
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: of the regular season. As you see you look around.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: We just I ran down like five guys for Tampa
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Bay coming here this week that aren't going to be
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: on the field. I went through the whole secondary for
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: the Lions who are going to be on the field.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Injuries are unpreventable in the sport of football, especially in
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: sports in general, so it's not not surprising that someone
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: gets injured. But if you're continually injured and you can't
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: give us anything week to week, as they always say,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: your greatest ability is availability, and if you're not available,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: we can't use you. And he's proven to be someone
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: you can't rely on. That's just the way it is.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you this.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, you're never gonna get this one anyway, so I'm
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: just gonna put you on the spot. You know, the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: first team that I ever covered growing up, I do
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: not Miami Dolphins in eighty two, and you know who
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I got to work with. And I think training cans
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: are bad that now they got three days. I'm gonna
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: tell you a funny shula story.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: You ready for this one?
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: I have had a chance to tell you every time
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: we were together, always got a hockey reader anywhere, but football.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: This is a previlege talk about football, really, terrisly really,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I hate to get up.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I have all this energy. Person, I'm like,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: came here. I'm like, Tame's the lion, not the British.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Call me a Linton. You probably want I've covered them.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I covered them on the day too. I sure did it.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there he goes, I kind of.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. I'm telling you.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: But anyways, don shoe, here's a guy like me, anything
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: but an athletic. Okay worth upon a time, I want
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: a trophy for most unusual form in bowling. Let's just
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: show you what a great person I am going to
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: come to bowling. You know, I would go up there
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: and we'll take that ball, whip it right across the alley,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: and you know, league get my ninety twenty hundred and
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: thirty games. I'm definitely not going to be I could
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: have probably done all right bowling for dollar, but not
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: bowling for any although I do both good bowling games
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: on my on my tablet.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: But that decide the point. But anyways, get back to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the time shoe.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: I'm covering a I'm actually going to a Fort Waterdale
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Strikers media game against their staff and I got taken
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: down and I sprained my ankle that day, and I
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: have to go to Dolphins training camp on a Sunday.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's a rainy day.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Of course, Southford is always fill with him during the summer,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: so there were many of us there, but a couple
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: of us were there, and you know, at the end
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: of practice, Coach schule and another and he invites myself
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: and a writer over to his office and we started talking.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at all this stuff there and tell me
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: this is unt believable. This guy I'm here, I'm young
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: enough to understand it.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: So he looks at me. He liked me at the beginning.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: He used to give me a hard tank because when
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: he comes to a young writer, he trell you, yeah,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: you have to earn your way to the Dolphin, the
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: one that created the coach of all the time. And
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that Bill Belichick is floundering and didn't have
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: a chance to break Coach schule his record, because I
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: hope Don Schulea goes there head and take that record okay,
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. Says to me that Don Shula's
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: the most intimidate person I've ever been around. I mean,
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: really he is. So he says to me, Scott, because
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: by then I earned it here and he got to
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: know me. He got to actually call me by my
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: first name, and he get called by your first name.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: By Shoe was privileged. So let me ask you a question.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Should I put you on injured reserve or should I
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: cut you?
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Because he sees on I have an expanded job on
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: crutches and I'm still out there doing my job, just
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: a young nineteen twenty years So I'm telling.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: You, what do you think I told him?
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: What did you tell him?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Does you put me on injured reserves? So I have
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: remained on the team, and Doc Sheila laughed at me
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: and he said, oh, probably he just laughed at me.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: It was just cool, I hear.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I am with a spraining ego, nineteen year old who
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: probably had it looks like a toothpick. Of course you
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: could tell. I've eaten a little bit since my day's
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: back in covering dolphins.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it was fun.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Don Shilla and I got to know each other well.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: But the one thing he always taught me every time
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I've covered the sports in my lifetime is I've been
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: lucky enough to be around great coaches. But there were
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: times that I picked his brain and get advice from me.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: The one thing he always taught me was whatever you do,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: I said, So I asked my question out right back then,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: what is one of the reasons By this time I'm
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: catching on his immedia thing? And and I said, why,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: what do you do in order to maintain successfully? You
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: told me some and I put it in my book,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: by the way, what you're going to get it before
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: it's all said and done. Said, what I do is
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: I make sure I feed into my team's strengths, not
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: what they can't do.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: M That's what he told me. So now when I
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: whether I build this media thing that I'm doing here
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: with the trip or whatever, or whoever I've been around,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I always do that now because I learned from Don Shue.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: I've interviewed John Wooden, I've interviewed a lot of big
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: people that I've listened in my book, and coach wouldn't
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I live by his pyramids of success. But anytime you're
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: around people, you don't always have to cover them just
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: so they say they're getting the quote. But there's nothing
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: wrong with going out there picking the brain about why
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: they were successful. And that's what I've learned to do.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: And well, shoe was unbelievable. That's why I knew you
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: were going to get that question. Anyways, these are things
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: they don't get to talk about by yourself because you
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: got to go out there and get Now we're together, man,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: you know the stuff you never have to listen to
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: get it tonight. But no, that's the string about Shore
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: and the one thing about Campbell. I would love to
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: play for a guy like him. And by the way,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: he was an interim coach of the Miami Dolphins five
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: and seventy dolphins.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Steak and.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Dad kimble OYL need the Dolphins with the Detroit Where
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: the dolphins at? You know, you have them on top
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: of your roof called gutters, that's where the dolphins are at.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: How might do what the one going away? Or is
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: the time going by?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Or what? I got a few more times to get to.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get through them there.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: But Scott, stuff that I want to I want to
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: talk about Scott, just for a quick second, you touched
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: on something go ahead. The coaches that you've been around,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the coaches that you've come across throughout your time, and
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: you mentioned a few, and I want to mention a
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: couple too, because you don't really the impact that they have,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: and then how they influence people, and and the aura
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: that surrounds some of these guys. And uh, Scottie Bowman
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: for example, when he coached the Red Wings when I
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: was here, Larry Brown when he coached the Pistons when
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: I was here, Jim Leland and Ron garden Higher when
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: they manage the Tigers while I was here. Being around
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: guys like that, you can't put your finger on it,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: but you can tell how they separate themselves. And there's
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: something about it that not only their players, but people
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: who are around them. They motivate you, They uplift you,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: they inspire you that term you'll run through a wall
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: for them. You can see why guys will at times.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: And you talk about Sulea being the most intimidating guy
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: that you were around. Scotty Bowman was an intimidating guy,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: but he got the most out of people. And then
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: how these guys get the most out of people, and
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: what it is about them that allows them to do
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: that consistently wherever they go. Larry Brown coached five hundred
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: teams and did the same thing with every team they had.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Every player will tell you he's the best coach I
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: ever had. But the commonality and what they bring to
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: every program, what they get out of people, I've always
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: found fascinating, and what separates that from other people in
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: the time that they put into this and the time
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: they spend away from their families and what they do
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: and how they win. I've always thought it's just a
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: fascinating angle that a lot of people really don't think about,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: or we don't talk about, or people don't see they're
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: watching the game. But these coaches that get it done,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: and I know you've met a few too, they're very
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: impactful and just unique individuals. And I just wondered if
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: you had anybody else in mind that you felt that
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: way about.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean, great crust, great minds
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: take electure of you. And I always thought this way out.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll bring up Larry Bird and Chuck Daily. Okay,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Larry Bird. Sometimes I like to go to the visitors,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: and I do that a lot with the Canes these days.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Because you know, there's not a lot of time with
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Chris Wall because he's on demand. So I said, I'll
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: just go to the other side. I'll get my questions
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: in that way. I'm a I'm a piranha. I'm gonna
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: get my questions and one or the an other. If
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I can't get it from one, I'm going to the other.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I'm candy to the videography. But Larry Bird I once
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: after he was done with his daily People answer, coach Berd,
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: let me ask you a question.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I was really polite. Oh what am?
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: I realized you were one of the better athletes out there? Okay,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: and sometimes you have to understand the words that you
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: use so that people are not offended by it. But
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: what made you better than a lot of players you're
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: out there? And he really liked the way I asked
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: the question, tremp. It's all about how you word the question.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: It's and always offended. And he said, Scott again, he
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: was my first name because I introduced myself in a
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: good way. And and he says, I think three steps
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: ahead of the other guy is what he told me
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: right to my face.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: What do you think I do trump? I think three
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: steps to the other guy another one.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I loved the Chuck Dailey, Okay, and the reason why
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: is he used to go out there and manipulated players.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: What minutes you don't practice are I'll take it away
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: your a minute, man, I'll tell you what I do
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: with my people here. You don't do what I tell
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: you to do, I'll take away your damn airtime.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: And don't worry they buy into it because hey, you
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: got to listen to these videos and see if you're
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: any good. I'll want you to watch them for a reason.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: And that's what I'm trying to say. You want people
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: that buy into the system. But people late about it,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: and it's just it's what we call tread the velvet hammer.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: It worked, man.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: Like that.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah, well there's a lot more Scottism's
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: in there. I can't even gotta get this guy, and
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: I want to see him a gat and just give
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: me an incentive to living get up for Metro Detroit.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you when I went on that trip overseas
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: a while back, I did thirty five or forty videos
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: out there, and I got sick and tired of hearing
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: the MotorCity man about thirty five or forty time.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: I loved everything.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: I would saying that and got people in behind me.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: I hit on a couple old ladies out there from Seattle.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: If there was a person in there, I was a
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: stick a microphone. A microphone is like a lollipop to me, Trevor,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: you never have enough of it. It's great, man, I'll
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: tell you. Lollipop to me is like a one of
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: those charmed blowpops or whatever they were. Yeah, I get
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: up to me, man, I love this stuff. But yeah,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: I had a lot of coaches in there. Wayne font
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: a little kind of guy. It was easy going, but
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: he loved a hug. Now, I'll tell you one thing.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: I like Jim Schwartz too, though, because yet actually I
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: like the relationship he had with Matthew Stafford. Jim Schwartz
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: inherited a tough job there with that university and had
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: to deal with So I like Jim Schwartz dictator. But
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Wayne was easy going. Hey, I went to school at
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: USL and the Sun. Mike and we used to hang out.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you another interesting story. I tell you all
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: these stories, but don't worry. I got other stuff we're
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: gonna get to. That's why I ran ving some fun here,
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad that you know. I'm gonna beat me
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: up too bad on the time, because how often do
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: we get to do this once in a life time
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: fort worry, But anyways, I'll never forget the time when
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: I'm down and the Lions. Who's the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: at the sombrero? Okay, this is tough in the Lions
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: and I'm wearing the Lions colors and I have a
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: deadline over the Tampa Tribune. And guess what though, across
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: the Tampa Stadium there was a Hooters. Oh my god,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: I'm telling the young guy back then, and I'll tell
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: you I have a bunch of beers. I shouldn't be
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: talking about this on a family show, but I did.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you one thing. You know, it was
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: pressing when the Lions loss of the bucks, and bucks
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: are not good good back then. So anyways, I go
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: back to the Tampa Tribune. Wrote one of the best
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: stories I've ever wrote, because I used to sip by
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: my editors.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: All the time to try to get it for me. Scott,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: this is a lot of.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: That stories you've ever written. I said, Rick, just do
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: my favor, don't go ahead till the bosses. I had
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: a few beers after the Lion's lost. He says, you
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: know what, if you're gonna drink beers and you right,
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: just cut care story, you're out. In fact, he's the
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: same guy that when I got in a jackpot over
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: at Kassuming, Florida, when they had no phone lines, I
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: had to dictate a thirty and forty inth story after
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: trying to get the stupid thing with my little such
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: and cup over there didn't even work, and he still
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: took that. Now, yeah, you develop a reputation with your
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: editor because if you're a blue collar person, you work hard, travel,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: then they're gonna do it. You gotta do go your way.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: But when I wrote that story with all that beer
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: in me, and I never did rind that was a
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: good story. Drink more bear, I don't say I had
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: to get on all my trouble. I never had a
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: test to that lot were talking, all right, well you
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: know what I'm so hyper about me to one Johnt
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Green tomic Ken, you's gonna go to those stations and
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: break travel. Hope you have had a good time here
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: as I can in this love it and Jeremy barbaricks
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: art official cloture. You wait around, Jeremy, hold on the
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: bark because Trevor and I are we attle ways to
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: go here as we get ready to Trevor and Scott amazing.
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: So I'm glad you're in the chat room. You affect
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: the damn right day to be in a ball. You're
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: getting exposure like you never have. Am I allower than
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: STEVI date said, Ah, he's nothing. I cannot talk to
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: Steven A. Smith all day long. He's not in my league?
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Am I cocky?
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I'd rather listen to you. I'll tell you that.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I found defensing forty seven years.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: For God's sake.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I think I've experienced a thing or two and I've
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: been up with you, so it's been in a ficker
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: riot than anything great stuff. I'm telling you all right,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about John Gruden and I'm only getting warmed up.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: And I got my brother from another mother on there.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Do I look like I got old shimmers? He probably think,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: oh no, you don't have to hear anything. But don't worry.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: When I get off there, I'll drop down a little
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: bit here. So but anyways, God Drude was in town
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: during training tramp wearing a lion's hand and CONSI hopefully
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not done.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I'm about to make a comeback. I'm working hard to
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: get one more shot. I don't care if I coach
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: and Jones Junior, I am going to coach again. Were
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: you surprised that Dan Campbell didn't bring him on in
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: any role because he's a great offensive mine. But for
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: some crazy reason, I have a feeling he'll be a
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: candidate for the Florida Gators job as well as a
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: lot of the other college openings as well, due to
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: his extensiveness for you know, to me.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Get a little you know, the guy, to me is
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: a great offensive line. He really is. And with Florida
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: that is a tough job. It really is.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: And let's not forget that he won a Super Bowl Tampa.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Albeit they did it was Tony Duncan player, but he
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: still won it. Well, let's talk about John grew In
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: the person himself.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: I know he recently won a lawsuit which will probably
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: help him get in there. Well, let's talk about the guy.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: It's pretty cool though he went out there and wore
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: line shirt. I never thought i'd see the day do that.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: But what about John Drew. What do you think about
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: this guy? You think he's going to be coaching again.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: He'll absolutely coach somewhere again, but I'm not surprised that
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't be a part of what's going on. And
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: here Detroit, Don Gruden is just too big. And I
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: don't mean that in a sense that he's bigger than Detroit,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: are bigger than the Lions. But John Gruden's always about
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: himself and the name itself, you know, all the attention
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: gravitates to him. These guys. Dan Campbell has turned himself
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: into a head coach everybody talks about. But let's not
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: forget Dan Campbell's first season here. They had to grind
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: it out. Those first couple of seasons were very tough.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: He's made a name for himself, He's developed a culture here.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: He was a Lion, He's a self made man. John Gruden,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: the TV aspect of it, Yeah, he's a good coach
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: and everything, But I just think there's so much about
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: John Gruden. It's about John Gruden that it detracts from
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: what the team is trying to do and what the
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: whole program is all about. And here in Detroit, with
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: what these guys have built. It's all about what the
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: team is about. It's not about one person. It's not
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: about Brown Holmes, it's not about Dan Campbell. They've made
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: names for themselves. But I think John Gruden is just
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: one of those characters. It would all be about him
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: and what he's doing and how things are going for
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: him or what his thoughts are as opposed to what's
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: going on with the team. So no surprise that he's
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: not a part of what the Lions are doing. But yeah,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: he's absolutely going to run a program of his own
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: and he's going to have that velvet hammer you talk about.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: He's going to be the authority there, and I think
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: that's a situation he's waiting for, and someone's going to
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: pay handsomely to have him do it for their program,
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: whether it's in college or the pros, wherever it might be.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: He's absolutely if he wants to, he can, and he will.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: There's gas left in the tank and he's healthy enough.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: I don't see why he wouldn't because he'll have those
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: kinds of opportunities. But I'm not surprised. It was never
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: a part of the Lion's culture for some.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Crazy reason, and I don't know this. Maybe I'm really
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: losing it now. Yeah, by the end of the time
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: this show is over, you're going to write the word
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: velvet hammer down.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to use it going forward.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: That's okay, you can have it.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: That's going to be your little piece in me.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: Hey, listen, I'm glad I actually learned from the guys
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: that didn't home improvement out in Arizona used a velvet
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: hammer to close deals. I used to be nice, firm,
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: but knew how to maintain my composure. And when I
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: saw the word velvet hammer, they're in the book. And
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: now that if I leave that in your head because
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: he came on here and you took care. You saw
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: a long winded Morgan, Rob's motor mouth and all that
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: velvet hammer. I hope I leave a lot more on you.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: But if I leave you with a velvet hammer, I'm
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: gonna do something good man, and that is what it is.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: I love it. I'll handle it with care.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you tell your wife I large enough from
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: the motor City man. Velvet hammer, baby, Dana?
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Is that what hea? Dana?
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: I went out there and I love you, Danta, because
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: you take you care of my brother and now he's
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: got a velvet hammer. He gotta be dangerous on any
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: team that he gets involved in, for sure. But you

  Speaker 3: if everybody knows about George Timebrenner, I.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Do because I said my book.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: He gave me a hard time, but I knew exactly
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: what I had to do to get the easy questions.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you hammer me and the manager once and
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: of course Ted Copple got it too, So I don't
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: feel so bad.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, will do it perfect? Oh yeah, I mean
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: it's what it is.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I've had you talk about a lot
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: of the influences that you've had. Like I say, when
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: I talk about Larry Byrd, I'm talking about and I've
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: actually met Steven A. Smith a few times, and you
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: know he's been nice to me, but I would get
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: him in front of me you ain't messing with forty
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: seven years and I know every sport. The only you know,
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: the most intelligent things he says about a hockey, don't you.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: The other thing I know about hockey is a pucket black.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Really, really, that's all you know. You know basketball, but
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: you know anything about hockey?
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Are you not? But I got to say one thing,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: and I'm not a fan. Uh, he's not my cup
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: of tea. It's all well and good. I've met him
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: a few times along the way. It's nothing personal. It's
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: just I'm not into that kind of kind of thing.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: But the fact is, dude has made himself a name
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: in this industry. He is an industry unto himself. He's
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: got one hundred million dollar deal. He's been doing it
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: for a long time, so he's doing something right. God
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: bless him.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I like Bobby, but you know he's been nice for me.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not knocking him.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: Believe it or not, he'll probably be I did get
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: a picture of him in New Orleans, and I'll put
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: it in there because hey, I'm not to put him
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll sell a few extra copies of books.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: How do I know who is your favorite broadcaster? Who
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: do you think who do you respect the most? Who's
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: your favorite working today or.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Period?
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you a couple, if it's okay with you,
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: I'll Ernie Harwell. I love Ernie Harwell. But Ernie Harwell
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: got to be because he's he's like a mentor to me.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: How do I go against that? But Ben Scully, I'm
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: gonna put him right up there too, the way he
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: does nothing but tell stories all day long. And I
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: lie Brent Musburger, and I'll tell you a funny story
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: that happened to me in New Orleans.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm full of stories. Man. I'm glad I get
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: to do this with you tonight.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: I'm backt in nineteen eighty two at the Final Four,
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: buying a ticket from a friend of mine. We took
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: a grey Hound tour Greenhound all the way up to
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: New Orleans and we ended up getting a gray Line tour. Well,
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: you know, here's the problem I have with that situation.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, I lost my tour because Brent Mufford was over
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: on Lincoln Square.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: And as it turns out, okay, I spent twenty months
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: of the stupid tour and I lost it, and all
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: it took me once stop to lose it. I'm wearing
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: a Michigan tech jacket, which was the second rmant jacket.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: I took up there with me and I'm bump into
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: these people from you know, northern Michigan. They took me
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: over to Bourbon Street. Okay, I got plastered there with
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: hurricane had on the New Orleans and they gave me
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: twenty bucks to take a cab.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: That was nice of them.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: They're really nice, and hey, they love to see me
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: get slocked over in New Orleans with a hurricane. Oh
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: my lord, I've had one big hangover. You ever have
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: an Orleans hurricane?
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: He gave me twenty bucks as as a matter of fact, Yeah.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: You know where I'm coming from. O. So what happened?
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find the cab, so I put the money
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: in my pocket and pay and it ended up paying
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: to my door that I paid for and then I
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: go out there over the I was staying at the
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: y MCA up there, and then my friend said, where
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: you ben A whole lot of different places than you've been.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to bad so uh, but no, you're going
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: to pop By Fried Chicken first, because that they're caging stuff.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't know much about you want, you know, the
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: best way to get rid of a hangover have changing
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: food from Popeye Fried Chicken New Orleans and that pedal
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: O'Brian hurricane rubs off on your quick and all of
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: a sudden you got to put a.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Fire out in your mouth. Man, I'm telling you about
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: oh paddle Brian's way. I took candy there.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: But now with all me being so sick these days,
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: when able to drink, so I wonder if I remember
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: half to say, yeah, I got a few more things
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: I want to get to. We'll continue to go. But
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: the stars are flying, Trevor tops and I are having fun.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: Time is flying and we're going to con keep this throwing,
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: all right. So Mike rop On Pavel Datsu says, I
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't think he gets enough love for
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: how grady will that Suit's magical skills continue to live
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: in hockey lore? Where are your talks about Mike Rupp's comments.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Pavel dat Suit is one of my all time favorite players,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: and I think that unless you had the opportunity to
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: watch him up close and buy up close, I mean
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: at the game with a seat to watch the whole
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: ice and not just with the TV camera show you
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: you don't appreciate how good this guy was. He is
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: and I started covering sports live, watching live NHL games
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: for a living in nineteen ninety two, so everyone from
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: that time till now I've seen with my own two
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: eyes up up close. He's in the top three players
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen. Gretzky Lemieux dat suit for the things
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: he did in the ice. Those guys and that suit.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: The reason I say that is because those guys and
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: him included, did things that no one else could do.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: I've never seen anyone else do. And I really don't
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: think certain players do certain things, but they could do
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: all of these things at once and play at that level.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Never saw it before. This guy was fun to watch,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: he was magical to watch. He was his personality. He
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: had tons and tons of personality. He's one of the
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: funnier guys you'd ever come along. He pretended he know English,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: but he knew it way better than he let on,
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: the driest sense of humor, just stronger than you think.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Everything about that guy was more than you think. And
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: he was a better hockey player than people really give
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: him credit for. Because I don't think they really watched
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: or appreciated his game up close the way I had
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: the opportunity to. He was just simply one of the
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: best hockey players that I've ever seen.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he certainly is.
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: Do you believe in the is a playing and at
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: some point or another win to the Redland get rid
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: of this nine year drought. I was glad they beat
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: the Florida Panthers for to one. I don't careanters are down,
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. The Red Wings are overdue to get
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. And I know at some point or
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: another Steve Heisman believes on what he's doing. But I
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: know the fans have so much patience and they're paying
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: good money over that new building game. But do you
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: think they were finally going a breakthrough? And do believe
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: in what Steve Reiserman is doing?
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: I do believe in what he's doing right now. If
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: you look at the top of the standings in their
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: division right now, it's the Detroit Red Wings on top.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: They're off to the start they needed to get off to.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: They've built some confidence. Todd McClelland's had this team from
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: training camp on instead of joining them midyear this year,
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: everything about what they're going to do is how he wanted.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: The details are going to be how he wanted. The
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: messaging coming through to the players and the fans is
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: going to be how he wants it to be from
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: the start of the season. And I think right now,
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: getting John Gibson is going to help stabilize that goaltending.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: He's a veteran presence. He'll be here another year with
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: that contract, so they've got some stability in net with him,
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: With Sebastian Cosa and Trey Augustine comming, they've got a future.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: With the kids they've drafted. You can see that Steve Eiserman,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: like Brad Campbell, has that I for talent, and the
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: people that he selects to be here, especially through the draft,
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: are going to be people that have what he wants
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: in them. And I think you see that playing out
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: and some of the kids that are in the lineup
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: right now, and you look at just look at Axul
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Sandean Pellica playing defense right now as a young man
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: and playing on their power play five games into the season.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: That doesn't happen in Red Wings history. Like the way
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: they develop players, that's never been a part of how
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: they developed players. You go down and you grow and
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: you learn the game, especially if you're coming from Sweden,
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: you learn the small ice, you play in Grand Rapids
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: for a couple of years. Then you come up the
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: fact that he saw some talent in this kid. Now
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: this kid is in the lineup skipping Grand Rapids virtually
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: all together tells you the kind of talent he's got.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: And these are the kind of kids that Steve Eisman
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: has drafted. And you get Emmitt Finney, a guy who
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: made the opening night roster, a seventh round pick. That's
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: I've heard of. Seventh round picks are lucky to play
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: in the league, let alone, at twenty years old, make
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: the opening night roster. So I think that what you
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: see with some of these kids that made the roster,
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: it isn't just because we want to give a chance.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: It isn't because we want fans to get excited about
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: the prospects that we've drafted, isn't because we want to
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: distract you. It's because we want to win and these
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: kids can help us. And those are kids he brought here.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: And that's why I believe in the plan. I wish
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: and do fans wish it had happened sooner that we'd
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: already made the playoffs the last two or three years
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: and be further down the line. Of course they do.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: But everything he said in the beginning was we're going
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: to do it through the draft. It's going to take time.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: We're going to build this thing. And he suffered through
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: the criticism, through the second guessers, through all the doubters.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: He suffered through that and now our bit. I think
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: on the other side of seeing that he was right,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: building through the draft was a good idea. These are
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: all homegrown talents. Michael brand Signi guard made the opening
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: night roster and he was a first round pick. These
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: guys are strewn throughout the lineup, their young kids. They
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: made the opening night roster because that's the ability they have,
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: and for no other reason, because these guys are about winning.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: It's their livelihood, it's what they get paid to do,
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: it's what they have a passion for, and they don't
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: accept losing has been hard on these guys. So I
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: think they believe these guys can help them energize this
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: team and lift them to the next level. This year,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: I think right out of the gate, we're seeing that
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: they're beating some good competition. They beat the Maple Leafs twice.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: They beat the defending Stanley Cup champions just the other night,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: the Florida Panthers. Although they are shorthanded, it doesn't matter.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: They beat this team. They beating quality opponents with kids
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: in the lineup. So yeah, I think they can get
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: over the hump this year.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: Scott.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: I think that we're going to be impressed with the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: iSER planned and what these kids that are a part
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: of it show on the ice going forward. And I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: do believe in it, have believed in it, and I
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: think that those who have believed in it are going
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: to get their reward and their payoff, and it's going
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: to come as soon as this year.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: Well, Trevor, let's not kid yourself. You played again the hockey,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: So I'm really curious about what you think about this question. Okay,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: the NHL is planning to mandate neckards for all new
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: players starting in twenty six twenty seven season.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about what they're going to do there?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Do you like the Ida?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? The game is moving faster than ever. You can't
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: prevent some of the things that have happened, and I've
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: seen guys Mike Madana when he was here, got cut
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: with a skate blade. Darren Helm got cut with escape
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: blade over the wrist. These guys were out for months
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: getting cut over the wrists. And there are guys will
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: wear risk guards. They now have made kevlar socks because
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: guys have getting cut in the leg been cut in
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: their legs before, so they're trying to make socks a
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: little more cut resistant. These guys are flying around with
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: razor blades with steel on their feet, and they're doing
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: it and speeds. The game has never been played out
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: right now, This game happens fast. It's a wonder more
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: guys aren't injured. You see a fight and guys go
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: tumbling down the lines when they're there and the skate
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: just misses a guy like this. Absolutely, you take every precaution,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: every precaution you can think of, not even everyone that's necessary.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: I think any precaution is necessary, but anything you can
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: think of to keep guys safer should absolutely absolutely be implemented.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: For these guys, they had to tell them to wear helmets.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: They had to force them to wear helmets. Now, obviously
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: that's something right now, if you think about it doesn't
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: make any sense. But Mickey Redman plays hockey with me
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: to this very day, will not wear a helmet playing
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: a pickup skate at lunch. He's grandfathered in and everything.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: But if you think about it, it does and makes
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: sense because the game happens fast, puck's ricochet any which way,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: guys are careless with their sticks. Anything can happen. You
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: can fall and hit your head any point in time.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Certainly you can get cut in the hand, the wrist,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: the leg, the neck with a skate. So if you
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: can protect yourself, absolutely do it. It's just a shame
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: we have to be told to do it. So if
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: they have to mandate it in order for guys to
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: protect themselves, then go to it. But you're of the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: vintage Scott You probably remember Clinton Malarchuk.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Buffalo Sabers goaltender when he got cut right in the neck.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, these things can happen. It's a wonder they
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: don't happen more. They can happen, and sure, if you
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: have to mandate it mandated, but protect these guys themselves.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: Being a guy like me who's been exposed to head injuries,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: you know how many times I've told you that I've
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: had concussions, and you've given me your prayers and your
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: love and all that, and it really is hard because
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: now it's led to my Alzheimer's diagnosis. And I'll tell you,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: concussions and something crazy. So well, let let me ask
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: you another interesting hockey question. Okay, come to my being
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: a hockey guy obviously the and now football. I should say,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: I love talking to you about football. I'll tell you,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: I never thought i'd see the day would be having
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: the next conversation, because you know me, I've always loved
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: the football with her. It's the NFL, And now I
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: have college football with my toy called the Miami Hurricanes.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: That's a nice toy to have when you have Carson
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: back at Camp Moore and all that stuff.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: And that's the first college football team I've ever covered,

  Speaker 3: was covering the New Orleans game, and then I'll get
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: to this thing here because now you really got another
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: story telling. Hey, listen, do we have a good time?

• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: time tonight as you get these extra stories that will
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: lead the more velvet.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: Hammers marked my works. And I know you're ever leaving
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: that with that.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: So anyways to cover the Lions game out that's my
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: second marriage and thankfully my life one. But but anyways,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: I go there and uh, I have my ex wife
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: and I got hammered again at Pad O'Brien's and uh,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: and my ex wife, you know what, she got to
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: sleep the whole day while I'm watching the Lion game
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: and the Lions. I had a picture with her and
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: I and they said, Scott, you look worse than your
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: other half.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: He sayd well, you know what she got to sleep
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: when I'm here covering the Lion games. You know, I
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: did a wake up. I had that old Cajun uh uh,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: that cajun uh what is it? Grits old man? That
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: me and the Orleans guy and they said, you look
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: words at Yeah, I cover the game. I need to
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: win here so they'll take the edge off of my hangover.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: And boy, and Bill Keene is the Mike Burrier laughing
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: so hard. And I and Bill Keen is one of
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: my favorite people, one the best yard guys I've ever
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: worked with.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Too.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: And uh oh, I used to have a blast. So
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: I was covering the Lions. I covered a lot of games,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: covered a lot of the road, and I ended up
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: traveling the road with them. But and then New Orleans Hurricane.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: You bring as some believable memory. It's a shame I
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: couldn't do it before. But back to my other question
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: of you, The NHL is considering starting in September for
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: next year, in time for the twenty twenty six seeds.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: And do you like the idea to build daily the
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: NHL's deputyagu comissioner to confirm the league's pondering this.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's September starts word to me. But you
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: obviously did covering the sport way longer than me. What
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: What was the question, Scott?
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: But what was the In other words, the NHL is
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: thinking about starting in the regular season in September next year, true.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: No brainer, no brainer. Yeah, cut the preseason short, get
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: the regular season going earlier. There's no need to be
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: playing hockey in the middle of June and end this
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: thing earlier. And I've always been a proponent too of
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: a different topic, but since we're going to talk about
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: this kind of thing, it's along the same lines. Why
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: are we playing baseball at the end of April in Detroit?
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Why are you playing I mean they end of Marching Detroit,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: the beginning of April. Why are you doing that? Baseball
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: is to start May, the first everybody plays May, the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: first opening day, last day of the regular season is
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: September the fifteenth, the playoffs start. You never ever play
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: a game again in November. So March is out, April's out,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: November's out, and let's play these games between May and September.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: Condensed that schedule a lot like thirty games off right
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: off the top. Nobody's gonna miss these games in April
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: in Detroit, Detroit, Minnesota, all these places that you have
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: to cancel these games in April because of the weather,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: eliminate all that, let's and nobody wants to come anyway
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: after opening day nobody wants to come. But yeah, absolutely,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: If the NFL NHL wants to start in September and
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: end their season before the middle of June, say say
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: the end of May, that's all we need. Absolutely, let's
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: get this thing going.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: I have a few more questions. You're doing great, though,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: aren't we having? I tell you I came, woulded and
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: prepared for this. So the Redlics are finally going to
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: retire for theay federalf Are you glad they're finally going.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: To do this? Yes? Absolutely, Again another guy who did
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: things nobody else could do. Maybe the best skater I've seen.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: I think guy was this an incredible, incredibly gifted skater.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: But absolutely it's overdue. Sergey Federv is one of the
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: greatest Red Wings ever to put on the uniform. He's
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: up there with anybody you want to name in franchise
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: history as far as the greatness, the tradition, what this
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: Red Wing is made of. Sergey Federal of long overdue congratulations,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: He's already in the Hall of fame. If you're in
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: the Hall of fame, certainly that team might want to
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: consider retiring your number.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, great, now, So I'm gonna ask you a question,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: how do you like this list? Passing yard you got
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford forty five thousand, one hundred nine. Rushing yard
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: Barry Tander fifteen thousand, two hundred and fifty nine. I've
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: convinced of Wayne Fonton retired to have a whole lot more.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: Or he was there, he'd be a lot more because
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: I know how close Berry Wayne were. You know, if
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: Wayne font stays there longer, we have a different number
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: than fifteen two sixty nine. If you're looking for a
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: five digit number, Detroit, fifteen two sixty nine might win
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: you a lot of money. And just I'll let him
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: know you heard it on the MotorCity man Mouth Show.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: And if you win, I don't want to know about it,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: but I hope you can take your force and do
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: what you want with it. Receiving yard Telvin Johnson eleven thousand,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: six nineteen. Obviously Zachs Robert Porchet became a stat in
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: eighty two. He had ninety five point five. And the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: interceptions are Dick Lebo. These are unbelievable numbers, especially with
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: the lions. Which one it presses you more?
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Do you like them all?
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: It's hard to separate the number from the player you know,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: and I'm really not sure which one of those numbers
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: is most impressive. All those positions are so different. But
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: Kelvin Johnson, it was a beast again, another guy who
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: would have played longer. I don't know why he didn't,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: but Calvin Johnson was a beast. I think that Barry Sanders,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: like I said, the greatest running back of all time,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: so his numbers speak for themselves. But when I think
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: about Calvin Johnson and those numbers, Wow, Yeah, that guy
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: left me very impressed. So I'm gonna go with Kelvin Johnson.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going Barry Man.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: I don't blame you. I just we talked about Barry already.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: I gave him his flowers and he's the grace of
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: all time.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: Butlvin Johns, I'll give you another great story. Ready for
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: this one, I'm done in Tampa, Okay. My buddy Chip Navius,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: who was one of the greatest pr people of all time,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: and you know, the first one I ever worked with.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: A lot of those strikers, I'm down over in Tampa.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: I used to love.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: There was a period when I went to thirty three
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: straight games in a row and I paid it for
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: an out of my pocket with my day job because
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: I love the lines so much. And I made a
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: lot of good connections and a lot of them are
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: still I still know today. And I've been to cover.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: I've been to four Super Bowl games, covered four super Bowls,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: ended up going to a fifth one so that Candy
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: could take pictures. We still had a field day and
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: New Orleans and I got a million videos there was
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: I was a wrecking machine. Well, I'll tell you when
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: I get these new toys, I want to play with them.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: But think about this, okay, And then.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: He said, I love toys.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, if you ever looked out of my playlete,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: you realize what it is. But when I think of
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: the fact that to me, I go to that Tampa
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: game and I'm a graduate from Urosity South Florida, by
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: the way, tramp, I really am, And I'm a Tampa
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: at heart a little bit too. I'm down there seeing
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: Barry Sanders in the team hotel and I shook his hand.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: We talked a few minutes and wished them luck. He
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: breaks two eighty yard touchdown runs in the same game,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: and even Chip name us and that you know we're
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: not folks that cheer in the press box. The chip
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: let it go and didn't even care, because who.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: The heck cannot admire greatness? Two eighty yard brother two?
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: You can't make these stars up. You don't believe me?
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Look it up. No, I know you believe me, But
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: that's it. I believe you. Check did Terry even even Charon?
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: Of course you know. I mean that was just some
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: believe Well, I got it. Hell love you can.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: I tell you a little quick story. You talk about
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: those very impressive, very impressive. This isn't about Barry Sanders though.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: This was about when the Lions were terrible, Matt Millen
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: era Lions. I was on the road in San Diego
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: and the Chargers and the Lions were playing. Ladani and
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Tomlinson went for one hundred and twenty something yards in
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: the first half and two touchdowns, didn't play in the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: second half, and the second half Michael Turner played went
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and twenty five yard and two more touchdowns.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: They had two backs go for one hundred yards each
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: in each half with two touchdowns. I had never seen
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: that in any football game I've covered before since, Just
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: like barrying, those two eighty yard grips. You don't see
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: that very often. But things you don't see very often
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: from talent and talented football players.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: When the Lions were starting to break the losing losing streak.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: I loved it when Rob Parker went after Rod Marinelli
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: and Rob and I you were there.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: I was there that day. I was sitting there that
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: day watching this going on cringing one.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: We're both in the same place. I just didn't even.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: Knowing when this one. I wasn't it cringeworthy?
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Doing it.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: I wasn't getting in trouble.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not blaming you. I'm saying this moment with Robin
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: Marinelli was uncomfortable.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Uncomfortable, well, that's putty it lightly.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: It was cringeworthy, as I said it was. That was
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: good necessary really.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what I was egging Rob on a
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: little bit, you know, dudget you were yeah, oh I

• 1:12:05

• 1:12:09

  Speaker 3: I'm working on another one. If it's Alzheimer's. I'll tell
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: you here's the thing. If I can't write it, I'm
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: gonna find somebody to help me write it. They at
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: least gather all the outlined information while I can. But
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: we'll see how that one plays out. But the reality is,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: I think today's generation is just nothing to understand that.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: You know, we knew what it was like to really
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: work for everything. The podcasts are good for us nowadays
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: to occupy time we live with the media when it
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: was great. So no, I know you've had a lot
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: of great years with the Red Wings and the Tigers.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: How do you like what you're doing with the Lions
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: and what else do you have going on at the moment.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: I love what I'm doing with the Lions right now
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: because I work with a great guy, and I don't
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: really work directly with the Lions. I work for the
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: Believe Network, and the Belief Network has a network of
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: podcasts and sports file and entertainment, over five hundred different
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: podcasts that they've got, so I'm a part of their network.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: All the infrastructures already built in, so it's a plug
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: and play thing. So that made it very easy for
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: me to say yes to the opportunity. But now that
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: I've said yes to the opportunity, working alongside Glover Quinn,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: the former Lion, all pro what he did, but an
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: all pro person, just a wonderful guy to work with.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: I've got a great sense of humor, very knowledgeable about
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: the game, still in touch, still has passion. So being
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: able to work with him, learn from him, learn about
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: the game from him has been just a whole lot
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: of fun and something I didn't see coming. And after
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: working on hockey and baseball and basketball for the last
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: twenty five years, having this opportunity to get back in
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: with the Lions and do something like this from home,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: doing a podcast, you know, checking out how the new
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: generation does things, and having this opportunity has just been
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: really enlightening in a lot of ways, but refreshing too
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. So having a lot of
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: fun with that, and I'm really hoping the Lions go
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: far and that we can really get some momentum going
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: with this podcast as far as that goes, and by
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: the time they get to the super Bowl, We've got
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: a great viewership going and all kinds of fun things
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: have happened in between, so that's been a lot of fun.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: I'll still do a little bit of Red Wings hockey
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: for FanDuel Sports this year. We'll see how much it
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: turns out to be by the end of the season
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: and going into next year. I'm really not sure, Scott.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: You get in this place right now where you get
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: to slow down, reevaluate things, take a deep breath and
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: reset and re energize yourself and maybe come up with
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: some new ideas and look at some new opportunities. And
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: some things might happen that you don't see coming right now,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: so I'll be looking forward to maybe that happening as well.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: So I'm just keeping myself hopen to some new ideas
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: and new possibilities and just enjoying some more downtime, home time,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: family time now that I'm not running all over the
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: country two hundred nights a year or more. That's been
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: a lot a blessing in disguise. So just taking it
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: all in right now. Bro, they're smelling the roses, you know,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: smelling the roses.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's amazing how you say that? So do
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: you think hockey is in your future?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: Because I know you dipped into play by play when
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: you were doing a little bit of emergency work a
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: I thought you did pretty well. I think you're a
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: little too hurt on your because.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: They it's it's so fast. Oh, Scott. I'll just tell
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: you a really quick story about how that happened. This
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: was when we had We were at Little Caesars Arena.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: We were in a pregame show and my producer gets
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: in my ear, Mary Brady. She gets on my ear says, Trevor,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: go up to the gondola. Ken Daniels has COVID. Get
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: up there now. I said, what for?
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: Chs Trevor, I.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: Haven't got time to argue with you. Go up there,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: you're dude, play by player're calling the game. He's got COVID.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: So we had to test at the arena. So I'm
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: going up to the gondola and I've got my cell
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: phone in my hand. I kept looking at it while
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: I was walking step by steck. I wanted my phone
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: to ring Or. I wanted a text to pop up
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: and say, Trevor, you've got COVID too. You have to
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: leave the building. I didn't want to call that game
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: because that Daniels found. We got tested pregame because you
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: had to get tested. He got tested and said he
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: was positive. He had to leave the building. So it
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: all happened last minute. I kept saying, I want to
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: get COVID too, I want to go home, I want
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: to do this. When I got up, there as a
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: bundle of nerves and I just looked to my left
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: and there was Mickey Redman going through his notes. I said,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: this can only go so bad because this guy is
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: a pure genius. He's got this. So I knew I'd
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: always have Mickey Redmond to lean on in that situation.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: But it was a lot of fun. The game moves fast.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: Calling NHL play by play is harder than you It
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: looks way harder than you can imagine. But it was
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: So well, person to do it.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: I would love to do it for a living. I
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: would love to do it, but it's there's a lot
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: more to it than saying I'd love to do it.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: Well me personally, I love baseball and football, and I
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: did cover the Florida Panthers. One year was great, but
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: you know I covered twenty one of twenty six games.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: What happened.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: I never got a playoff pass, which really some because
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: they ended up bringing some of these other ones that
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: came out of the closet to do it. But I
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: didn't mind they put me on the I still went
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: on the Zoom Club, but it wasn't the same.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: But it's okay.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: I have no bitter feelings for the Florida Panthers, but
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: I'm a Red Wings guy at charge. So what was
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: it like this summer not doing Tiger games at all?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: It wasn't nice, just a half the summer off. I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: know the Tigers went out there and they collected, but
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: they still made it to the playoffs. But how did
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: it feel just to not cover the Tigers. I know
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: you worked really hard to do it, and you're right,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: it's time to be able to fill the roses.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: It felt amazing to not have to get on a
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: plane this week, to not have to go down to
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: the ball enough that I don't like baseball or anything,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: but the time off, like when you're thirty years into
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: this thing, thirty years deep and like I said, two
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: hundred nights or more a year on the road of
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: your away in your every game, every season, it just
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: goes around and round and around. Your life goes by
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: and you really never have time to hit the pause button.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: When you hit the pause button, you appreciate it. So
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: it happening during the summer and the summer in Michigan
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: this year was simply fantastic. To be able to spend
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: some time with the family, to be able to sleep in,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: to be able to golf, to be able to just
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: do whatever I wanted to do, or do nothing at
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: all for the first time and actually sink into that
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: lean into that was necessary and I appreciated it. So
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: it was a great summer being able to just do that. Yeah,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: it was a great, great summer, Scott. And to be
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: able to watch the Tiger from Afire and cheer them
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: on and look at the wonderful season that they had
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: with What's fun?
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will love you. I'm at a point now,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: you know what you and I talked about my medical situation.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you exactly what is I don't my
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: tone everybody. I'm dealing with the onset of Alzheimer's. I
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: was diagnosed about a year ago and it's been a real,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: real battle. I mean, I have my days that are
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: good and I am my bad. But because they say
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: I have to just maintain a lot of activity.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: That's all.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: I'm able to fight this thing. I don't drive quite
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: as much, but I'm not afraid to do it. But
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: now I so what I ended up doing, Trev is
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: I went out there and applied for early so security
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: at sixty two, which I was able to get, and
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: now I'm able to, like you, sit back and still
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: well the roses and breaks the new generation, being thankful
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: I was in it when it was really good, so
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: I could reflect to write a little bit more. And
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: now I'm hooked on international travel. Don't find it do
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: a lot more domestically until I get certain things out.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: I'm addicted to cruisers, so if I could get there
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: and take videos spontaneously meet people, that's great. But that's
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: that's the thing is I get older when I have
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: people like you well obviously one of the closest people
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: in my life, and a bunch of other people.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: This is what I have to do now.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: I don't, you know, write as much because it's hard
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: for me to be able to stay concentrated because you're
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: hyper all the time trying to stay active, so it's
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: not easy to sit still and be able to sedate
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: yourself and right, but I will when I when.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: My back is to the wall. So I think that's
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: Like you now, when you get to our age and
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: you've been into business decades, you know, I've been in
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: it in December will be forty seven years. You know,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: a lot of it on the air, a lot of
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: it writing, and a lot of doing new things like
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: old school media versus new school. I'm with your trip.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: We have to be able to sit back and appreciate
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: what we've done because I'm convinced that the younger generation
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: will never sniff.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: What we're doing.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: Not knocking them, but the players are different and the
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: access is a lot different as well.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I'm ready to sit back and
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: relax and just travel. And what can I say?
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: You have an opportunity on a nightlight tonight talking to me,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: no question, the greatest person.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: That I know.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: You know, you know to me this is I knew
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: going into this.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not one of those kind of people that gets emotional,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: and I don't, but you know, every now and then
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 3: I show a little crait.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: No I'm not crying, so don't worry about that. I'm
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: just that stuff. But I knew going into this show.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: It was going to be a much different animal than
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 3: anything else I've ever done because I wasn't just talking
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: to a normal guest. I was talking to a guy
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: that I view as a brother. And that's what you
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: are to meet, Trevor. I'm not mind telling you on
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: a live mic, okay, that I love you very much, Trevor.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: You mean everything in the world. I miss those hugs.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: I miss when I see it dot here. I look
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: forward to getting out there, but I love you more
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: than any person on the planet, and got my witness
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: and that well, no, I'm telling you, she knows how
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: closer get out here, Candy, because we've been talking about
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: this for a while, and I tell you and I'll
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: make sure you get there. You go, but she knows
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this one for a long time.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: And Candy, what have I been like talking about Thompson
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: for a while.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 4: It is face lights up like every time he talks
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 4: about him. And he was just so excited when you
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: said yes and the time worked out and you guys
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 4: can figure out when he could get you on a program.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: He was just really excited. It's it's really great to see.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, tell both of you guys, Candy Telp has
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 3: been like to have to take care of me under
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: these rough situations here, and I don't mean to be
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: making people feel bad, but she's the one person. Well,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: I have this YouTube channel at least on one thing
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 3: when I go down quietly and my concrete napp which
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: I will be in Milwaukie when my time is up upstairs,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: I don't want to go underneath where they could go
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: eat me alive. They gotta have to go north to
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: the North Pole and a concrete nap to do it.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: Not that I should be putting this, but Candy tell
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: Trevor and the rest of the people that's been like,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: you know, as I keep battling through these challenges to
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: deal with me.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: Well, you've always been a handful come on, whether you're
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: no matter what. So I mean it's been doctor's appointments
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: and everything like that, but it's all good. You have
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: a good attitude. You stay positive, and that's one thing
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 4: I guess I admire most is even though you know
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 4: what's happening, and you feel yourself slipping a little bit
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: here and there, you still stay positive and you still
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: throw yourself into your work and put yourself one hundred
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 4: percent into what you believe in and that's what I
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: admire most.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: That's a shat to the battle.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: And by the way, Smoking Jeremy, you've been a star
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: with me for a long time, but there's this is
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: your best act ever in the chat room. And I'm
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: sure Trevor Thompson has taken notice of metcat fighting with
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: the motor City mad Mouth Lions, motor Man, Motor City
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: man Mouth Fighting. Maybe have to retrademark that I traded
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: that mark that. Don't worry, Bulwark, We'll put it on
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: your r expense account. MotorCity man Mouth Lions so fit, No,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not. That's where the Alzheimer's kicking it. So guess
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: what can you want you to? Let Trevor know what
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: you have coming up on Fire up with Smoking Jeremy
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: B and a few other guys. I got a fourteen
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: year old guy on here. I'm trying to develop, but
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: I'm hard on this kid. But he said, okay, early on,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 3: but let everybody know, let Trevor know about your show.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 4: So tonight, after this, following this on Fire, we're going
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: to be talking about NFL and we're gonna be talking
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: about how we feel the officiating has been in this
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 4: season and how it has affected games and played a
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 4: role in some of the outcomes of some of the games.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 4: We're also going to be talking about MLB playoffs and
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: of course college football. Like Scott says, we have a
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 4: young kid that's starting to really get in the business
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: and he's actually been in the business for four years
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 4: so far, and he's he is a knowledge machine when
• 1:26:39
