Yesterday we re-ran the classic Ron Burgundy interview on Dan's final day at ESPN. Click on the red button to hear it.

Hit the "Comments" below if you disagree ...

1. The Jets are mischaracterized as a Cinderella just because their quarterback is a rookie. They have guys who are going to the Pro Bowl or have been to the Pro Bowl all over their roster -- Alan Faneca, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Nick Mangold, Thomas Jones, Tony Richardson, Braylon Edwards, Bart Scott, Darrelle Revis, Shaun Ellis, Lito Sheppard (and two more on the IR, Kris Jenkins and Leon Washington). And they have guys who will be Pro Bowlers some day -- David Harris, Kerry Rhodes (if he gets his head on straight) and Shonn Greene.

2. The Colts can't run the ball. That doesn't matter against most opponents, but you don't want to make life easier for this Jets defense.

3. Peyton Manning had some issues with the Ravens, who are basically the same team as the Jets. Even though they won fairly easily, Manning couldn't complete any long passes and he threw a couple of uncharacteristic picks (one was negated by a flag).

4. The Jets' D'Brickashaw Ferguson is one of the few left tackles in the NFL who can stay with the Colts' Dwight Freeney. And the Jets will give him a little help. h

5. The Jets would have been better than 9-7 if their coaching staff had reigned in Mark Sanchez earlier. He never should have been throwing enough to toss five picks in one game. Now that they've contained him, they're a much better team.

6. The Jets' offensive line was able to wear down the Chargers' defensive line with the run game. If they stick with the run, they have to wear down Indy's smaller D-line.

7. The Jets shouldn't be affected by noise because they basically have only two effective plays anyway -- run right, run left. You don't need to make too many Peyton Manning-like calls at the line for that.

8. The Jets gained familiarity with the Colts in Week 16. Think about division games, where less talented teams step up.

9. Jets will have at least one big return.

10. Rex Ryan is a better coach than Jim Caldwell.

Stephon Marbury joined the show after announcing that he is going to play in China. Marbury explained why he's doing it.

"I want to play basketball," Marbury said. "I want to get back into the game. I know I still can play."

Dan asked Marbury what he knows about China.
"I know that they love basketball and they're really excited about me coming," Marbury said.

Marbury said he'll only be gone for a month and a half, so he's not too worried.

Marbury also talked about his controversial YouTube videos. He said they were fun and shouldn't be taken too seriously. And he apologized for smoking marijuana on the videos. He said he doesn't smoke pot any more.

"There were things that I said that were true," Marbury said. "It wasn't like I was lying about anything. People couldn't distinguish what was entertainment and what wasn't. There were some situations that came about, people were looking at me like there was something wrong with me. I was like, 'if you think something is wrong with me ... that's what you're going to think.

Still, Marbury wants to be back in the NBA some day. "I'm good enough to be on an NBA team," Marbury said.

Marbury did say this was in part about marketing his shoe brand, Starbury. "It was an opportunity where I was able to allow the brand get bigger."

Patrick Seton O'Connor jams out with Darius Rucker

They were on opposite sides of the glass, but they did a rousing duet. Rucker said it was like playing with McCartney.

The song was called: "Dan Patrick Has a Sports Hernia."

Here's some of the lyrics:

There’s something wrong with Danny Hairdo

It’s effecting his jump shot ... that won't do

He’s got a problem with his frog eye ...

It makes swimsuit models run and hide

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joined the show to discuss his new movie Tooth Fairy and more.

Dan asked Johnson about the movie The Wrestler. "It is 100 percent realistic, which is why the movie resonated with me so strong," Johnson said.

Johnson comes from a long line of wrestlers and he said Mickey Rourke's character could have been one of his uncles.

Dan and Johnson were talking about which was harder -- football, wrestling or acting. He said wrestling was tough, because the travel is grueling. He said being in the ring was very fun. And he said those chairs aren't fake.

NBC's Tony Dungy joined the show to talk about the conference title games and more.

Dungy said the Seahawks called him about being team president. “They asked me if I was interested and I said I wasn't six weeks ago," Dungy said. "Then when Leslie Frazier got involved with the interview, they asked if that would make a difference and I said it would make a difference definitely, but I still wasn't interested."

Dungy reiterated his is a big fan of Frazier. "He's a very good coach," Dungy said of Frazier. "He's going to make somebody a tremendous coach."

Dungy had some interesting comments on the Rooney Rule. He isn't necessarily against it, if it the minority candidates are taking it seriously. "If it ends up being a situation where they didn't take you seriously, I think it makes the team look bad more than the individual," Dungy said.

Dungy also commented on Brett Favre's future. Dungy said if he was 40 years old and won the Super Bowl, he'd bow out. But Dungy said Favre truly loves the game and may not do that.

Dungy likes the Vikings against the Colts in the Super Bowl.  Dungy said he talked to the Vikings defensive coordinator Frazier. The Vikings have to get pressure on Drew Brees to win.
