Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Labatard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
We're going to get to David Sampson in five minutes here to talk about an assortment of things throughout sports worth talking about and outside of sports. But before we do that, I want to play for all of you a clip with Brandon Marshall. I don't know if any of you guys know this. He was on South Beach Sessions today. It released today. And he came in hot yesterday. And he disarmed me off the top. There are all sorts of things that people do with interview techniques in order to soften someone off the top. And he alpha'd me quick because right off of the top, this is the back and forth. I'm introducing him. And this is where Brandon Marshall and I start. And I'd like to ask David Sampson and the rest of you how it is that you would react to this situation if you, like me...
think that Brandon Marshall is right on the line of being a borderline Hall of Famer.
Do you really mean what you just said, prolific? Because are you just trying to have a great intro?
You know, you had 21 catches in a single game, six seasons of 100 catches with no quarterback help. Like, your quarterbacks were pretty bad.
Well, I know my stats, but one of the things you just said is one of the most prolific wide receivers ever. And so now you're putting me in the same conversation as the best pass catchers that ever, you know what I'm saying, coming into the NFL. I don't know how many. I'm not in the Hall of Fame right now.
It's hard to get into the Hall of Fame as a wide receiver.
Do you see me as a Hall of Fame receiver?
I wish you had had better quarterbacks.
Do you see me as a Hall of Fame wide receiver? You're right there. See, that means no. You're on the edge.
That doesn't mean no. I say no. Do you see yourself as one?
Do you have a vote? I don't. Or did you ever have a vote? I don't, no.
How does David Sampson view the impact of sports media on public perception?
You should have a vote. But if you had a vote, what would you vote?
Well, I'm in front of you right now. I can't say no.
He said no. It's okay.
No, no, no, no. Wait a minute, though. I'm not saying no because I don't have the numbers in front of me. Six 100-catch seasons is usually good enough to get into the Hall of Fame.
Which is number one in the NFL. You knew that? I did not know that that was number one.
Well, see, there you go. And you didn't have a quarterback. You didn't have a legitimate quarterback. You really turned that. No one has ever turned this around on me faster.
We just started and you already got me in a corner. Yeah. Yeah. I got you in a little pickle. I turned my phone off. I was going to let you read something that one of the Cliff, who was our and I don't really care at all.
What are the implications of the Epstein files for NFL owners?
Really, I don't. Um, but hearing you say that made me think, does he really mean this? Right. Uh, but I, you know, I was going to turn my phone on and let you read through what our, um, our, uh, Cliff, uh, Chicago bears. When I was there, he did all the contracts, right. He was, he was in charge of the salary cap and he sent me this, uh, memo of why I should be in. And it was like, wow, this is pretty cool. Right. And when you retire, you know, um, you see things a little differently, you know, you, you're more grateful, um, you know, you slow down a little bit. So it's always cool hearing other people's perspective.
I want to be clear, though. I don't have the numbers in front of me to compare you to why it is that Andre Reid or Torrey Holt, like, I don't have them in front of me. That's the only reason I'm being hesitant. I'm not being evasive, nor am I being dishonest with you.
