Episode Date: January 30, 2020

Hall of Famer Charles Haley

This is Sports Talk 790, live from Miami, presented by Low T-Setter and Twin Peaks. Super Bowl! Bringing you coverage of the big game from our little tiny booth, where deodorant is mandatory. And by the smell of it, Michael Connor left his deodorant in Houston. Wonderful. I cannot confirm or deny the rumors that Michael Connor left his deodorant. I don't know why I'm being singled out of somebody that wouldn't wear deodorant. I think it's pretty awesome.

Welcome back to the Matt Thomas Show here live from Radio Row in Miami, thanks to the Lottesee Center and Twin Peaks Lodge. And you know what? One of the beauties of being out here is sometimes you just get a Hall of Famer plopped into your lap. And that just happened to us, five-time Super Bowl champion. And now Hall of Famer, we can say it. Charles Haley on the show. Charles, how's it going on?

Hey, what's going on, guys? Y'all having a good one? I think so? Yeah, we're in Miami. Why your arms cross, man? I've been up since like... He's combative, isn't he? Six?

Yeah, I do the morning show, and now I'm here. Oh, okay. You've been partying hard a lot out here in Miami, Charles? I don't party. I'm old now. Hey, this old dog will partied enough, you know? Well, even if you're doing crosswords on your table in your hotel room, that counts as partying. It is?

Yeah. Well, I got a book open, and I try to read that. Okay. But I read slowly. Okay. So what do you have you been following the games of the Super Bowl and all that type stuff? You watch a lot of football? I looked at the Super Bowl team really hard.

I watch some film on them. I want to get a feel of death strengths and weaknesses and how teams are going to take advantage of it. How good is Padrema Holmes? Like from all the years that you've done. you've seen quarterbacks, where does he rank already for you? Like if you're looking at him, like he has the potential to get to. Well, Brett Fawd, he reminds me of Brett where he can throw five interception, but he's going to throw seven.

He's seven touchdown. He, you know, he's like Brett. Brett never try to run the ball, but he'll move around enough so he can get the ball off. And that's what he does. You know, the offensive line is not particularly strong, but Patrick McHole makes them look good. He's as good as it gets. You played, obviously, for the 49ers forever. What do you think of Garoppolo?

Oh, I love Garoppolo, man. I go up there and harass him all the time. It's too pretty, man. He's too pretty to be a quarterback. What does that mean? I don't know. He just looks too good. I ain't never met him, man.

That's pretty. I haven't either. I'm just saying like, No, hey, dog, you just said to me. You know what I mean. I don't know what you mean. Hey, I think he's pretty. You want your quarterbacks to be bad looking, you know?

Hey, bro, that's on you. Hey, I don't judge another man, dog. You know what I'm saying? If I do, I'm judging this talent level. I ain't judging that looks. Well, he's got some game, too. He got a game? Now that 49ers defense has some games.

Yeah, now we're talking. Yeah. How much you enjoy watching them? I love watching those guys. played rush or pastor. I like I like to see that determination man I just think that I only put together a great team. Yeah one of the teams that you played for as well of course is we're visiting with Charles Haley's the Dallas Cowboys new coach up there in Dallas what do you think of the McCarthy hire I think it's great Howard I think that he has he has a reputation of

developing quarterbacks and and I think that's going to be great for him. What's been missing up there in Dallas? We had Emmitt Smith on this morning. He said identity. Accountability for me. I think that the guys can hold each other accountable. I don't think gone. I don't think coaches help people accountable enough. But, you know, all it takes is one person to change the culture, man. Then you can see a difference. And they're hoping that's the difference up there. Jack Prescott. They've got to pay him a lot of money.

I think that's a good idea. They should have better paid him. Should they pay him before they paid Zeke? They should have better paid him. They could have paid both of them. Yeah. The money is there. You know what? They want to see him play. And hey, look at, look at the passable things he does. I just think

for me, you take things off the table. You know, you don't have a guy going through the whole year worrying about a contract and playing when he's your franchise quarterback. So, you know, in my mind, in my mind, their, Dak is, it's super special and that he deserves everything he gets. When you're watching the NFL today as a guy that played in a game that was a lot, it had a lot, wasn't as, you know, filled with rules that hurt defenses. How do you take that in as a former defender on that side of the ball?

Like how the game has changed today? I don't like all the celebration. I think that it's a waste of time. It's a lot of showboating. And that's not what I think football is about. I think that, you know, helping each other up and kneeling. all that crap, amen. They said sportsmanship is an additionary, but I never saw it.

And I tried to find it the other day, and I couldn't find it in there. But somebody said they did. But I think if guys hold each other accountable, you're going to see a different cowboy team. Charles Haley with us here on the Mad Tommas show. Charles, your tier for Sierra Delta, is that correct? Sierra Delta, right. They are raising money to provide service dogs to wounded military guys.

The service dogs is not an emotional dog, it's just a dog that provides the needs for the owner. And, you know, they kill about $100,000 a year, so they just want to, try to control that and be able to use those dogs to help move the warrior. You a dog guy? I'm big dog, I have five Dobermans. Wow. Dobermans? Five Dobermans.

I got three at home. You do? Yeah. What kind? One's a pit and pointer mix. The other one's some sort of hound mix, and then we got a Chihuahua. Oh. It's a little small for me.

The Chihuahua is your dog, huh? Nope. Why do you think it's my dog? I can see it in your eyes. Nope. I can see it in your eyes. You're going like, dang. That dog loves me, but that's not.

I didn't pick out that dog. That dog don't love you. Dog, you love that dog. That dog loves me because I feed it. You feed it? I feed it. I feed the dog. Hey, I'm responsible for that. I got five dogs.

Only two like me. Really? The only two of them. Why is that? I feed them all. Hey, I got the bill to prove it. But they're younger. Yeah.

I don't have time. I don't have time. And my daughters, it's really their dogs. They just, my son and daughter. They just dropped it off at my house because they can't take it with them. And so I don't have a relationship with those dogs growing up as puppies. But your dad, man, they're supposed to be, you know, taking care of dad now. You're not supposed to be taking care of the dogs.

This generation, man, is all about, they'll never get out the payroll. Hey, I don't think my kids ever got out of the payroll. I'm going to like, good Lord. All right, well, Sierra Delta.com is the website, Sierra Delta.com. Thanks a lot, Charles, Haley. We've got to take quick break here. Appreciate your time. Hey, no problem.

Thank you, God. Charles Haley, Hall of Famer, five-time Super Bowl champion.
