1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: We got to Mike Florio six minutes from now, and

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: obviously we'll talk about with him what happened last night

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Falcons. Obviously, the game that

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: didn't have as massive implications that we as we thought

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: they were going to have, it still had some implications

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks. We know the Seahawks now will

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: not have to be the sixth seed, they will not

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: have to face the three. So worst case scenario for

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks is they're traveling to either Tampa Bay

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: or Carolina in a game that they will be prohibitive

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: favorites in either one of those games. Heck, they were

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: seven and a half point favorites in Carolina two days ago,

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: so I would imagine they'd be touchdown favorites against either

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: Carolina or Tampa Bay going into that game.

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: So that's worst case scenario.

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: And Hugh, I mean, we saw a situation last night

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: where you know, I like Matt Stafford a lot. I mean,

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: I have a great dealer respect for Matt Stafford. I

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: wasn't always a huge Matt Stafford fan, but I always wondered, okay,

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: was it was it Stafford Rford holding Detroit back or

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: was it Detroit holding Detroit back? And we kind of

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: found out it was probably more Detroit holding Detroit back

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: than Stafford. When he went to Sean McVay, he got

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: to the right situation, won a Super Bowl. Has been

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback, I think under just about anybody's

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: you know, impression over the last four or five years

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: since he's been there.

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: But last night man had.

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: A chance, had multiple chances, including one in the final seconds,

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: to put the dagger in that football game, and just missed.

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: What did you make of what you saw from Matthew

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: Stafford last night? And do you think he lost the

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: MVP award last night?

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: Well, if he lost the MVP last night, then I

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: would hope that would have been a razor thin margin

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: going into the game because as a voter, I don't

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: think that he should be that respondent to you know, recency,

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: right like Heisman voters. You know, I'm fortunate enough to

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: have a vote, and you know, people say, well, we're

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: waiting for a Heisman moment. Really, you know what if

41
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: a guy was so dominant he doesn't have a Heisman

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: moment like Joe Burrow in twenty nineteen. You know, he

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: didn't need a Heisman moment because he was just knocking people.

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: He was like Mike Tyson knocking people out in the

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: second round. He didn't need to have a dramatic win

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: in the fifteenth round, right, right, And so I would

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: think that that I think there's a very good chance

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: that that Drake May did win it last night. Because

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: of that. I'm not sure if I'm behind it. I

50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: think he either could go. Either could go. You know,

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 3: there's a good compelling case for both. And I think

52
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: that maybe Drake May won it last night. But my

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: response to short answer to your question, it's pro football.

54
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 3: I was backed up three Hall of famers, Like everybody

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: has a bad game. Everybody, everybody has that humbling deal

56
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 3: and we go in on Monday morning and you know

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 3: it's like we got our ass had it too, and

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: we play a bad game, and there's ugly you know,

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: you know that the watch on the tape. I mean,

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about myself, you know, because that was

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: a regularity. I'm talking about going in with John l

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: Way or Troy Aikman, and you know, watching the game

63
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 3: and and and you know, having to watch the tape

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 3: for two and a half hours and sit there and

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: micro manage. Hey, well this is what we did wrong,

66
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: this is what could have been better, And you know

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: what you got to do. You just got to eat

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: it and he's got to eat a lot of throws.

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: Now that that final. I can't believe how bad the

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: Falcons were on defense with under thirty seconds ago?

71
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: How do you let somebody that.

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: Dude like, like you understand this man can throw a

73
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 3: football seventy five yards get effing back? It is way

74
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: easier asking outfielder, is it easier to come up on

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: a ball or to go back on a ball, Like,

76
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: get your ass back? And if and if you have

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: to come up on a ball, you have a lot

78
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: more ground to cover. You can see things better, like

79
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: don't let they twice let ram wide receivers get behind

80
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: the deepest layer. How with thirty seconds ago, how does

81
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: that happen?

82
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: And what it was? A PI that wasn't called It was.

83
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: A total p I.

84
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: And the corner route now I think that Stafford like

85
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: I could, I could, I could do a week seminar

86
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: on corner routes and the different things I've learned about it.

87
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: But basically, is it high angle or do you flatten

88
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: and pull, like do you allow yourself to get We

89
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: call it pull one train track over like you're taking

90
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: a high angle. Let's say, from the middle of an

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: analog clock. I'm gonna keep this real simple. From the middle.

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: If that's your break point. If you start at six

93
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: six on an analog clock, go up to the center

94
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 3: of the clock, got me, and then change your angle

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: to one o'clock. That's a high angle. That's a high angle. Well,

96
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: we say, if you take that angle, then uh, you

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: might have a better chance for a big play. But

98
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: if you if you allow yourself to get pulled over

99
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: to the sideline closer to two o'clock, then that can

100
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: be a better chance for a completion. I think they

101
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: just got jammed up on what angle. You know, Stafford

102
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: thought he was gonna flatten him. He thought he was

103
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: going to keep it on a high angle. It can

104
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: happen on that route.

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Because Stafford was angry after the throw, and I don't

106
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: think he's angry of himself at the receiver. Let's talk

107
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: to Mike Floria about it right now.

108
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,600

00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 1: day early since we are off tomorrow.

118
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, Michael.

119
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 6: How are you h I am doing fine. How are

120
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 6: you guys? We're always good.

121
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: Great.

122
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 6: He's even better when soft He's not around.

123
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 2: We're doing We're doing great.

124
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: H You know, I was just talking to Hugh about

125
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: that that Rams lost last night. If it caught us

126
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: to Matthew Stafford the MVP, and his response, and I

127
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: think accurately so was well, if it cost me MVP,

128
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: it must have been. It better have been raisor thin.

129
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at these live lines. At least on

130
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: one betting side, I Action Network and Matthew Stafford went

131
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: into the game as the favorite to win the MVP.

132
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: On this betting side, he is now plus four hundred

133
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: and Drake May is minus five point fifty. Is it

134
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: really going to be that much of a swing based

135
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: upon one bad game from Matthew Stafford.

136
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 6: Well, we're got to understand how these swings happen. Right,

137
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 6: people are watching the game in contime, stand alone only

138
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 6: game on last night. They're seeing Stafford for three interceptions.

139
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 6: They're hearing that he's tied Brett bar with six six

140
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 6: six as an all time records, and what are they doing.

141
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: They're hedging. They're betting on Drake May. And what's that

142
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 6: going to do. It's gonna move the lines. It's that

143
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 6: simple people who are inclined a way, who watched last

144
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 6: night's game and they're thinking, you know what, I'm going

145
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 6: to get value before the gods shift, and then before

146
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 6: you know it, the odds are shifted because too many

147
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 6: people have bet on Drake May. And I don't know

148
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 6: how many bets it takes to make it move. I

149
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 6: don't know how many bets are placed on the specialty items.

150
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 6: Either it's ridiculous to offer or to bet your money

151
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 6: on something sports related that is the result of a

152
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 6: vote of people. And I'm one of the people that

153
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 6: has a vote. I sure as hell wouldn't bet a

154
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 6: penny on anything that I was voting on. You don't

155
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 6: know what it's going to be. I look at those

156
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 6: odds and I say, why is Christian McCaffrey plus fifty thousand?

157
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 6: He may be on my ballot. If the forty nine

158
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 6: ers get the number one seeds, he will be one

159
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 6: of the top five. And we put five deep on

160
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 6: the AP ballot for MVP, and he's plus fifty thousand.

161
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 6: So the betting market, in reality, I think, is a disconnect.

162
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 6: It's a perception. It's a reflection of the perception of

163
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 6: the majority of people out there who are inclined to

164
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 6: wager but don't ultimately have a vote.

165
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: So who is most deserving of the MVP in your eyes?

166
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 6: Well, the Associated press gets very nervous when any of

167
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 6: the about who they would vote for. I always say,

168
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 6: I haven't made up my mind, and I won't make

169
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 6: up my mind. I don't even think about it with

170
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 6: any real sense of gravity or you know, concern until

171
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 6: after week A team because I'm a big believer for

172
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 6: the big awards, the AP MVP and the Coach of

173
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 6: the Year. Those are the two big ones for me.

174
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 6: I got to see who wins the number one seed

175
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 6: in each conference. That means a lot. To me. There's

176
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 6: only one buy now getting that one seed at huge

177
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 6: If you're the key player to help deliver the number

178
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 6: one seed. If you've delivered the number one seed in

179
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 6: the year where no one expected you to, you become

180
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 6: a serious candidate for Coach of the Year. I think

181
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 6: that the betters are being very astute putting money on

182
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 6: Kyle Shanahan to the point where he's now the number

183
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 6: two behind Mike Vrabel. If the Patriots aren't the number

184
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 6: one seed in the AFC, if the forty nine ers

185
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 6: win on Saturday Night and then the number one seed

186
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 6: in the NFC, Kyle Shanahan may be number one on

187
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 6: my ballot. Now there's forty nine other ballots out there

188
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 6: to neutralize mind. But you know, I'm not a believer

189
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 6: in this idea. The coach of the Year is the

190
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 6: coach of the team that most succeeded the generally accepted

191
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 6: amen for that team. It's who did the best job.

192
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 6: And you look at the minefield that Kyle Shanahan is

193
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 6: navigated with all these different injuries and how they managed

194
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 6: to contend with the Seahawks and the Rams the best

195
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 6: division in football. If you carve away the Cardinals, it's

196
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 6: impressive and I don't know that anybody's done a more

197
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 6: impressive job.

198
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to ask the question I'm sure a

199
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: lot of Seahawks fans driving around are asking right now now,

200
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: and which is Well, Mike, if the Seahawks get the

201
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: first overall seed in the NFC, the Niners were projected

202
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: to finish higher than the Seahawks were this season, why

203
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't Mike McDonald be given just as much recognition, just

204
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: as much credibility to win that job as win that

205
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: award as Kyle Shanahan.

206
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 6: Well, you didn't ask me that question, okay, and now

207
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 6: you do it. If the Seahawks went on Saturday Night,

208
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 6: then Mike McDonald is a serious contender for Coach of

209
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 6: the Year. And I think he's third in the betting

210
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 6: odds right now. And I think those betting odds reflect

211
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 6: an estimation that the forty nine ers are gonna win

212
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 6: the game. So if they don't, if the Seahawks do,

213
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 6: and I know the Seahawks are favored, but if the

214
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 6: Seahawks do win the game, then yeah, Mike McDonald and

215
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 6: Mike Rabel of the two primary candidates when it's time

216
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 6: to sit down and figure out how to rank them

217
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 6: one through five. And I hate the assignment. I don't

218
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 6: like doing it. I take it too seriously. I spend

219
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: too much time on it. And I look at it

220
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 6: this way. The NFL pays the associated press and undetermined undisclosed.

221
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 6: I know it's determined, it's not disclosed amount to do

222
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 6: these awards. They don't pay the voters. And I've made

223
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 6: a public stink about that. And I had a chance

224
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 6: to walk away from it this year, and I know

225
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 6: they want me to, so because they want me to,

226
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 6: I won't. And I want them to fire me, and

227
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 6: they know I want them to fire me, and they won't.

228
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 6: So it's kind of a fun little relationship in my

229
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 6: overall existence.

230
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: Mike Gloria with us. Mike, I'm gonna give a seemingly

231
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: random date and then I'll explain why that date. But

232
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask you, since November twenty seventh, twenty twenty two,

233
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: got it, what quarterback in the NFL has the highest

234
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: win percentage of any November twenty seven.

235
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 7: Twenty four.

236
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 6: It's a trick question because he hasn't played much since then,

237
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 6: So he's got.

238
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: Forty starts twenty four five, he's got forty starts, and

239
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: and and so he's won seventy seven and a half

240
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: percent of his games. Mahomes has in that stretch has

241
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: only won sixty nine eighty eight point eight under seventy percent.

242
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 3: And then check this, Sam Donald on sixty two and

243
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: a half percent of his games of those forty gives

244
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: you a triple digit passer rating. Sam Donald less than

245
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: excuse me, Pat Mahomes less than half, less than thirty

246
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: six percent, more than double the rate. So he here's

247
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: a guy in his last forty starts, the winning his

248
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL, and the guy that is producing

249
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: one hundred or or higher passer rating games at the

250
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: highest rate. What what should a Sea ok fan be

251
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 3: overview of Sam Darnold.

252
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 6: Well, it's deja vu all over again, Week eighteen on

253
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 6: the road against the division rival with a number one

254
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 6: seed on the line. And last year in that game

255
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 6: he did not deliver, and we have to be realistic

256
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 6: about that. Now he delivered in the game against the

257
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 6: Rams on the Thursday night when it looked like he

258
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 6: was chariot back into Pumpkin. Somehow, some way, they turned

259
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 6: it around and they got that win. It was a thrilling,

260
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 6: exciting game. But as I said at the time, this

261
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 6: is just the appetizer. The main course is going to

262
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 6: be Week eighteen. He's going to have an apple to

263
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 6: apples opportunity to do the same thing that he didn't

264
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 6: do last year. And the playoff game against the Rams

265
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 6: last season when he was with the Vikings, that was

266
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 6: a total team tailure. That was just an embarrassment across

267
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,599
Speaker 6: the or. The Week eighteen game was on him. He

268
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 6: was care mailings that could have given the Vikings a

269
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 6: fourteen point lead early on. He just was off. And

270
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 6: the question is this next opportunity rolls around and they're

271
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 6: few and far between one a year. Here it is

272
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 6: what are you going to do with it? And let's see,

273
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 6: let's see if he's learned from last year. Let's see

274
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 6: if he settled down. Let's see if Mike McDonald does

275
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 6: a better job of settling him down, more specifically Clint

276
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 6: Kubiak and getting him in the right frame of mind

277
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 6: against the coach who knows him well because he was

278
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 6: in San Francisco for a year. That's the other layer

279
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 6: of intrigue in this one that didn't apply last year.

280
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 6: He's going against the team he played for for a year,

281
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 6: and Kyle Shanahan knows him. He knows Kyle Shanahan, and

282
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 6: who knows what that's going to translate to when it's

283
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 6: time to play. But you know, I thought NBC was

284
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 6: going to get that game Sunday Night. But I'm glad

285
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 6: it's stand alone Saturday Night. I'm glad that it's going

286
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 6: to be a huge primetime audience. ABC and ESPN are

287
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 6: very fortunate because it's the most significant game of the year,

288
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 6: I think, and I think the only reason they did

289
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 6: Ratus steel was on Sunday Night. He got so many

290
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 6: other storylines attached to it in the history of the

291
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 6: two franchises, and what's gonna happen with the coaches, what's

292
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 6: gonna happen with the quarterbacks. I just think it's the

293
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 6: juice here overall story for the loser. The Saturday night

294
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 6: game is a juice he roverall story for the winner.

295
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: Well, what happens to the losing coach in that Steelers

296
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: Ravens game? And if it's Baltimore, is there any chance

297
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: that there's a different quarterback in Baltimore next year.

298
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 2: There's just these.

299
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: Rumblings potentially about Okay, let's move off Lamar Jackson and

300
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: get what you can get from.

301
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 6: The same things that were being said about Mike tom

302
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 6: The four weeks ago, after they got embarrassed at home

303
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 6: by the Bills twenty seven to six, they gave up

304
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 6: the most rushing yards in Pittsburgh since the early weeks

305
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 6: of the nineteen seventy five season. Coincidentally, against the Buffalo Bills,

306
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 6: Ben Roethlisberger said, maybe it's time for a fresh start.

307
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 6: Maybe it's time for everyone to go their separate ways.

308
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 6: That's the same analysis applies to John Harbaugh eighteen years.

309
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 6: Not many coaches have coached the same team for a generation,

310
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 6: and it gets to a point where maybe it's time

311
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 6: and the Lamar Jackson dynamic. I spent a lot of

312
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 6: time thinking about it, writing about it, talking to people

313
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 6: about it. You know the core problem there. We explained

314
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 6: this on the pregame show the other night before Raven's

315
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 6: Packers on Peacock. The fact that Lamar's never had agent

316
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 6: creates a communication issue that has manifested itself in various

317
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 6: different ways. It made it very difficult for the Raiders

318
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 6: to get a contract done with Lamar Jackson. I think

319
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 6: there's still some fumes lingering from that because there was

320
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 6: a collusion Breevance and some facts came out that we're

321
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 6: embarrassing for Lamar Jackson. I don't believe he was happy

322
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 6: about that. I think he'd like to get another contract now.

323
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 6: He doesn't have an agent to knock on doors and

324
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 6: bang on tables to get a deal done during the

325
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 6: season because he represents himself. And I just add to

326
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 6: this overall just tension and mutual frustration. I think the

327
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 6: article last week, it was a column masquerading as an

328
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 6: article that was doing some significant reporting without citing any

329
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 6: sources but named or unnamed, but this idea that they're

330
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 6: frustrated with him. His diet's not good, he misses too

331
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 6: many practices, falls asleep in meetings, stays up too late

332
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 6: playing video games. That may be a message sent by

333
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 6: the team to him, and it also may be prepositioning

334
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 6: the fan base and also sending an invitation to any

335
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 6: one out there who may be interested to try to

336
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 6: make the Ravens an offer they won't refuse. Because I

337
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 6: think that's the bottom line they can't shop him. They

338
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 6: have to hope someone will blow them away, because if

339
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 6: someone doesn't, what are you going to do? You're kind

340
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 6: of stuck. And it could be a situation where both

341
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 6: sides would like to split. But who's going to think

342
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 6: about this? Who's going to give the Ravens what they

343
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 6: would want? And then who's going to step into the

344
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 6: Ravens shoes and have the obligation to communicate with a

345
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 6: guy who's never had an agent about getting a contract done.

346
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 6: And when you think back to twenty twenty three when

347
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 6: he was available as a franchise tag player for two

348
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 6: first round picks, nobody even called. So see three years

349
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 6: old or three years more banged up. I think that

350
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 6: the Ravens would love to get an offer they won't refuse.

351
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 6: I don't think they're going to get one.

352
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: Mike Florier with his final couple minutes here Mike in

353
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 3: Las Vegas on a question in three parts number one,

354
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: what would you do if you were making the decisions

355
00:16:53,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: regarding Carol and Jeter Smith? How involved will Tom Bray

356
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 3: and what will ultimately do you think? What do you

357
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 3: predict will happen with those two?

358
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 6: Big picture Mark David said back in January, after the

359
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 6: Raiders owner hired Pete Carroll to be the next head coach,

360
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 6: that he brought in Tom Brady to stabilize the football

361
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 6: operation that ever since John Gruden, to use Davis's words,

362
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 6: had his head cut off. That relates to all that

363
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 6: stuff that happened in November of twenty twenty one, the

364
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 6: emails that came out Gruden resigning with significant pressure. Brady

365
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 6: was the new Gruden. Brady was the right hand man.

366
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 6: Brady is the guy that's going to help get things

367
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 6: under control. But well, Brady is a drive by absentee landlord.

368
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 6: So the first thing I would do if I was

369
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 6: Mark Davis, as I would say, Hey Tom, Tom, here's

370
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 6: what we got to figure out. You're going to be

371
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 6: all in or you gotta be all out. This can't

372
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 6: be a hobby. This can't be something you devote a

373
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 6: couple of phone calls a week two. You can't just

374
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 6: drop text messages saying you're doing this wrong, you're doing

375
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 6: that wrong. You can show up every day, roll off

376
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 6: your sleeves and work side by side of this football operation.

377
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 6: Or or you're just an investor. You got a great

378
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 6: deal because you know I thought you were actually going

379
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 6: to show up and help me. You decide what you're

380
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 6: gonna do. And I think that's the first decision that

381
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 6: needs to be made. We don't know that Tom Brady

382
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 6: is cut out to be an executive. I'll tell you what.

383
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 6: He's not cut out to be a part time drive by.

384
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 6: Here's what you should do. Hire this guy. Don't go

385
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 6: after Sam Donald. He reportedly didn't want Sam Donald. That's

386
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 6: just not gonna work. It's not working. It's a massive failure.

387
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 6: So I want him all in or I want him

388
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 6: all out. And and if he's all in, and let's

389
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 6: sit down and figure out what we're gonna do. But

390
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 6: you know, I just don't. I don't think it's sustainable

391
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 6: with Pete Carroll when they asked him a few weeks

392
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 6: ago if he thinks the team is rebuilding, and he said, yes,

393
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 6: that's all I need to know because he's seventy what

394
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 6: five next next year? September? Yeah? Like I well, so

395
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 6: what are we going to be better when I'm eighty? Like,

396
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 6: I'm not here for a redo? And I think the

397
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 6: biggest problem that they had this year, and it's reflected

398
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 6: in creating for Gino Smith it's reflected in and using

399
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 6: a top ten draft pick on a running back. They

400
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 6: thought this team was better than it was. They grossly

401
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 6: misevaluated the quality of roster. They got two great players.

402
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 6: They've already pissed off Max Crosby to the point where

403
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 6: he may want out by shutting him down for the

404
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 6: last two games. Who knows what brock Bauers wants. But

405
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 6: if they don't make some major changes, I could see

406
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 6: the only two good players there want now and then

407
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 6: the whole thing just falls apart. But job number one,

408
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 6: I need Tom Brady to make a decision. Are you

409
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 6: are you rowing this boat or are you It's going

410
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 6: to have twenty different jobs and grab every bag of

411
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 6: cash you can find.

412
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: Mike, always a pleasure, my friend. Thank you so much.

413

00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Day off tomorrow and on Thursday, watch a little college football.

434
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: We'll be chatting with our friend John Wilner at five

435
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: o'clock about said college football games.

436
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: But guys, I made a tweet yesterday.

437
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: I made a tweet and I was just responding to

438
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: to an ESPN tweet that says how the NFL playoffs

439
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: look head into heading into week eighteen, and it just

440
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: prints out the current layoff bracket. And as we all

441
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: know that Seattle is the one seed right now, Denver

442
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: is the one seed in the in the AFC, and

443
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: the two three seven in the NFC are as follows.

444
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: Two is Chicago, three is Philly. Four is Carolina, five

445
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: is San Francisco, six is La, and seven is Green Bay.

446
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: And I just simply respond to the tweet by saying,

447
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: and I don't think I've ever been able to say

448
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: this ever before. In the NFL playoffs, the five, six

449
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: and seven in the NFC are all superior to the two,

450
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: three and four. And I want to see if you

451
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: guys agree with that. Five six and seven San Francisco,

452
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Green Bay, two three four Bears, Eagles, Carolina,

453
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: Hugh Are the five, six and seven all superior to

454
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: the two three and four in the NFNFL?

455
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: I don't think they all are. I think green Bays

456
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: kinda there. They're kind of wobbling right now. Okay, if

457
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 3: if if Green Bay had to play Philadelphia, now, that

458
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: would be in Philadelphia. But I I think I would

459
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 3: bet on Philadelphia straight up.

460
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 2: Okay, and they do play Obviously.

461
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 3: They don't have Mic Parsons. You've had Jordan Love has

462
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 3: been not with the concussion. You know that.

463
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 6: I don't.

464
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like that's a little less sick.

465
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: But you're taking the Rams, so you're taking the Rams

466
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: over Philadelphia.

467
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say Rams, and and Frisco.

468
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 9: Over sure, Okay, I'm going Philadelphia over the Rams. The

469
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 9: Rams right now are falling apart, and I get it

470
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 9: they didn't have Adams, but like that team is a

471
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 9: team that is just just absolutely flustered. I mean, I

472
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 9: think about the intangibles about how you mentally want to

473
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 9: be going into the playoffs that seem's a mess, like

474
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 9: losing to Carolina, losing to Seattle the way they did,

475
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 9: and then losing to Atlanta last night and just giving

476
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 9: up everything on the on the that defense, I thought

477
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 9: that defense was was legit until these last few weeks.

478
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 9: So I can and even say they're better than Philly

479
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 9: right now.

480
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: Hugh.

481
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 1: Here's why I think Jackson's point has some merit to

482
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: it because I saw Sean McVay.

483
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 2: In that post game last night.

484
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's what gave that argument merit because I was

485
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 1: just like pretty much the whole game and when they

486
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: got down twenty one nothing, Hugh, I was like, Okay,

487
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot to play for. They're not

488
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: really you know, they're not putting out the same type

489
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: of juice that they would put out if they were

490
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: still in the race for the one seed. And then

491
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: they came back and they almost won the game, and

492
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, the Rams are super super scary. I

493
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: left that game saying, the Rams are super super scary.

494
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: I don't want to see them in the playoffs. But

495
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: to Jackson's point, I watched Sean mcvay's press conference. His

496
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: eyes were like red, like Superman, and he was like, no,

497
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: the starters are not resting next week, we need to

498
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: get back.

499
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: He was pissed. Man.

500
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: So how much of an issue is there in Los

501
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: Angeles right now?

502
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: Hugh, Well, I.

503
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 3: Think that it's a fair question, but they probably are

504
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 3: inundated with injuries. Now you say San Francisco, They've got

505
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 3: their injuries, but they've kind of, you know, learned to

506
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: deal with them. The Rams are just freshly on injuries.

507
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 3: Kevin Dotson, who's one of the best linemen in football,

508
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 3: Alaric Jackson, Josh Wallace, their cornerback, Devon Vante Adams, you know,

509
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: Braydon Fisk. Like they they have been hit by a

510
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 3: rash of recent injuries and I don't think they adjusted

511
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 3: to it.

512
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 7: Well.

513
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: I think that the loss to Seattle kind of probably

514
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: you know, had a lingering effect going in or down

515
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: twenty one nothing so there's some evidence to that, and

516
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: and their knowledge that they couldn't get one of the

517
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 3: higher seeds, they can't win the division. So you know

518
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: the motivation of oh, the fifth or the sixth, see,

519
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 3: is that really a lot of motivation? I mean, I

520
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: kind of get it. I think that when the Rams

521
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: are tuned up, I still think they have an ex

522
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 3: extremely high SCEEDI I agree, yep, I agree.

523
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 9: But that's the thing though, that they're not. They're not

524
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 9: right now, and I wonder if they can get that

525
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 9: juju back so close into the playoffs. I would also say,

526
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 9: when you to the back of your original question, Dick,

527
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 9: like the Packers right now, I think are a mess.

528
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,239
Speaker 9: I think the Packers are completely a mess. So you

529
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 9: look at the whole picture, like I think San Francisco

530
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 9: is playing well, we'll see what happens, you know, this

531
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 9: Saturday night. But I think Chicago's pretty done good. They

532
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 9: took San Francisco to the wire in their house. Philadelphia

533
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 9: has the playoff experience, running game travels, and Saquon Barkley

534
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 9: is still Saquon Barkley last time.

535
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: I checked big time in that game.

536
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 4: For for me, like right.

537
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 9: Now, yeah, I the only thing I think week truly

538
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 9: weak teams in the field are gonna be the NFC

539
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 9: South winner and the Packers, and that's that's it.

540
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: But I would still take two three four.

541
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: No, I think so, man. I mean my my fear.

542
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, if you the old show fear factor, right,

543
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, the old fear fauntain back Playoff.

544
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: Is it coming back early? So I mean the NFC.

545
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: South winner, I've got little to no fear of if

546
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: you went to the super Bowl and you face the

547
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: Steelers of the Chargers, which you won't because they're not

548
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: going to get there. Those are the teams I have

549
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: little little fear of.

550
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 2: Now them get there.

551
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: Now the healthy I've got a healthy fear for the Niners.

552
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: I've got a healthy fear for the Bills. I got

553
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: a healthy fear for the Patriots, the Packers, the Eagles.

554
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: This is kind of in order. Texans, Broncos less, Bears less.

555
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not buying. I think Bo Nicks and

556
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams could be very, very good in the future.

557
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sold that they will get their teams to

558
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: the super Bowl this season. And that's say I can

559
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: say the same thing about the Trevor Lawrence and the Jags.

560
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: But I still hold the Rams in higher regard than

561
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: anybody because the Rams are a blowout win over the Cardinals,

562
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: a more healthy roster, and a win which I agree

563
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: with Hugh that they will get in Philadelphia, I think,

564
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 1: and Hugh thinks away. Guess what all, man, here we are,

565
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: the Rams are back, and we're probably playing him in

566
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: the second round the playoffs, and you, I just don't.

567
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to see that. Man.

568
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I'd have no interest seeing a six seed Rams for

569
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: my first playoff game at lumen Field.

570
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: Well, you said you're rooting for Philadelphia over the Rams

571
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 3: in scenarios. Now what if Seattle loses to San Francisco

572
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: and then would you rather play the Rams at home

573
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: or Philadelphia on the road.

574
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: I'll see that's that right. There is the golden question.

575
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 4: What do you I mean? Can we set up a situation?

576
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: Well, we play San Francisco, wouldn't we If we're oh,

577
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: that's right.

578
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 4: They would.

579
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 9: They would then be the one to follow it through.

580
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 9: We would be the five seed. We'd go to Tampa

581
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 9: Carolina where they asked, and then at that point we

582
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 9: would the next round. We would then go to well, no,

583
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 9: because Francisco the Rams lost, and that's the thing. Yeah,

584
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 9: I would probably rather.

585
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 4: God I that's a fun question, Hugh.

586
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks have done very So you're talking

587
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: about going to sais has done well, going to Philadelphia?

588
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have, we have.

589
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: Done very well. Back into the day, we have done

590
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: very well. I almost would give up the home game

591
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: not to face the.

592
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 9: Rams then, but then you think around ahead the NFC Championship.

593
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 9: You want the NFC Championship in Seattle. So textimonials four nine,

594
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 9: four or five to one?

595
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: Text in would you rather if the Seahawks lose this week?

596
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: If they lose this week, would you rather code to Philadelphia?

597
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: After you?

598
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: Would you say whip? They asked in the first round,

599
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: which they will? Would you rather go to Philadelphia? Or

600
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: would you rather host the Rams in a second round

601
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: matchup that.

602
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: Also involves green Bay beating Chicago the seven versus the two,

603
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: because if in that scenario with Seattle is the four,

604
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: this is getting complicated.

605
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 7: Ers.

606
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 3: San Francisco is one. They re seed it every week.

607
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: They take the low seat, which green Bay could beat

608
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: the Bears. But to Jackson's point, like four weeks ago,

609
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: I would have said Packers beat the Bears, period. But

610
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: the Bears are playing better now than the Packers are playing.

611
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: Now that's the thing.

612
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's Texasmony is gonna be fun with people well

613
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 9: at Philadelphia or.

614
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 2: All right, we've got that. Since Jackson organizes the show.

615
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: As we found out earlier and there we told you,

616
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: I told your other show, Jackson has decided to go

617
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: two part Fun with Audio, a college edition coming up

618

621
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: Jimmy g pawn Star, Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have

622
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 2: some fun with audio.

623
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: So on the show sheet, Hugh, it says Fun with

624
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: Audio three forty five College edition. And I'm just reading

625
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: through the cuts here and it should be renamed Fun

626
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: with Audio. Hat swings at Notre Dame edition. Okay, all right,

627
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: all right, So on that note, hey, Hugh, did you

628
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: hear that?

629
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: What's that?

630
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: During an Almo press conference yesterday, USC head coach going

631
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame well talking about their rivalry game coming

632
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: to an end.

633
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 10: Notre Dame was very vocal about the fact that they

634
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 10: would play us anytime anywhere. We went back Jenco and

635
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 10: AD went back to Notre Dame roughly a couple of

636
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 10: weeks ago with the scenario and a proposal that would extend.

637
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 7: The series for the next two years.

638
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 10: We took Notre Dame at their word that they would

639
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 10: play us anytime anywhere.

640
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 7: That proposal was rejected.

641
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 10: Not only was it rejected, five minutes after we got

642
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 10: the call, it was announced that they had scheduled in

643
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 10: another opponent, which I'll give them credit, that might be

644
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 10: the fastest scheduling acting college footballs. The fact is very

645
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 10: very clear, and this can all be settled very quickly.

646
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 10: Had Notre Dame lived up to their word and played

647
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 10: us anytime anywhere, we would be playing in the next

648
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 10: two years and looking ahead after that and hopefully continuing

649
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 10: the series. They did not follow through on it. Thus

650
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 10: we are not playing them the next couple of years.

651
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 10: We at sc would love for the game to continue,

652
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 10: and we have no.

653
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 7: Problem following through on our promises in the future.

654
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: How important is it for those two teams to play

655
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: every year?

656
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 7: In your mind?

657
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: You I think it's pretty dune important. It's a long tradition.

658
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 3: I hate to think of, you know, all the breakdown

659
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 3: of the structure college football. I'd like to preserve something.

660
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be the end of

661
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 3: college football if they skip for a couple of years

662
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 3: and then restore it. We've seen that. But I'd like

663
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: to hear Notre Dame side of it. That's that's one

664
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: side of it. We don't know what other terms may

665
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: have may have been attached. I mean, I'm not here

666
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: to you know, pick sides or anything, but I do

667
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: know that you only played the audio from one side.

668
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: I'd like to hear from yes eight or head coach

669
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 3: from Notre Dame.

670
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: And the whole term of will play you anytime anywhere?

671
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that that only that does come with

672
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: some parameters. Notre Dame is not going to agree to

673
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: play USC in the Coliseum every single year and never

674
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: play at South Bend, so I mean, right then and there,

675
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean anytime anywhere.

676
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: Thing to take that seriously is a little bit silly, a.

677
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: Little bit you know, competitive. I mean, like, you know,

678
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 3: we can't we can't hold them to literal and it

679
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 3: sounds like maybe us he did. But but I would

680
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: like to hear the best thrust of an argument coming

681
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 3: from Notre Dame to refute that, because I would think,

682
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: you know, Notre Dame has made it clear that they

683
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: wanted the series to continue as well, and now it

684
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: just kind of sounds a little bit snarky.

685
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: Well, we don't have the Notre Dame side.

686
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: Now, we played a few from their ad who made

687
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: himself look like an absolute clown in my opinion. A

688
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago we played plenty of Notre Dame audio.

689
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: But today on the oh hey, Hugh, did you hear that?

690
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: What's that?

691
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: Today?

692
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: On the Colin Coward Show Fox Sports College Annaly is

693
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: Joel Klatt, who you would assume to be fairly impartial

694
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: about this whole thing.

695
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 10: I do.

696
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: I really like him a lot.

697
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: Talked about the lack of appeal for teams to even

698
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: schedule Notre Dame.

699
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: Listen, it does not behoove anybody.

700
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 11: I can't believe I'm saying this, but like to schedule

701
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 11: Notre Dame because they have such an advantage over these

702
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 11: teams that are playing and in the Big ten in

703
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 11: the SEC's cases, much more difficult schedules. And now there's

704
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 11: this bar, like a minimum bar where all Notre Dame

705
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 11: has to do is be in the top twelve with

706
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 11: their schedule.

707
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

708
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 11: Meanwhile, we have seen it really comes down to just

709
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 11: number of wins and losses. It doesn't make any sense

710
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 11: for USC and because that, they've got to look out

711
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 11: for themselves. I think Notre Dame should join a conference.

712
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 11: And I get a lot of heat for always saying that,

713
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 11: but it's time.

714
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: I completely, one hundred percent agree with everything he just said.

715
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: Why should we help Notre.

716
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: Dame make the playoffs by increasing their strength of schedule?

717
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't they decided to take their ball and play

718
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: in their own little world and not join everybody else's world.

719
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: And because they did that, Hugh, I think they should

720
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: pay the consequences if the other kids don't want to

721
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: play with them on the street with them.

722
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 3: Well, Moreover, they've leveraged their clouts to a clause in

723
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: the contract for the next couple of years that they

724
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 3: can All they have to do is be in the

725
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 3: top twelve and then they're in the playoff. Nobody else

726
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: has that. So yeah, I would love for the power

727
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: for schools to band together and just say, hey, you

728
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 3: know what you know? Call Montana State. They probably want

729
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 3: the paycheck. Sure, yeah, they they've chosen to be an

730
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: independent all these years, and now as college football is changing,

731
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: they want to reap an even greater reward on that. Yeah,

732
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: I'm all for for holding them accountable that they have

733
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: to have a representative schedule in order to be included

734
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 3: in the Top twelve, which to me is really the

735
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: top ten because you have to have two group of

736
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 3: five schools, so to be in the top ten among

737
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: the other power for schools. I yeah, yeah, I think

738
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 3: it would be great for everybody to just say, Okay,

739
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: how do you like it?

740
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 6: Now?

741
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 3: How do you like not you know, refusing. I looked

742
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: it up a couple of weeks ago. They've been asked

743
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 3: basically for the entire history of college football, they've been

744
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: asked to be in the Big Ten. They've also been

745
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: asked to be in the Big twelve, the ACC. You know,

746
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 3: they're in the ACC for other sports. They were in

747
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 3: the ACC only for the COVID year. Like, they've been

748
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 3: asked to be in the Big twelve, you know, in

749
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: basketball and what have you. They've been invited to be

750
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 3: in conferences too many to count, and they've always turned

751
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: it down for their own selfish reasons. So if everybody says, okay, well,

752
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 3: there's a consequence to that decision right with that.

753
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: And the consequence, in my opinion is, hey, looking at

754
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: this schedule. I'm looking at it right now. You better

755
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: lose no more than one game next year. Notre Dame

756
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: because they are playing Rice, Michigan State, Perdue, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Navy, SMU, Syracuse, Stanford,

757
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: Boston College. Then they have a game in Miami or

758
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: a home game against Miami. Maybe Miami's great, maybe they're not.

759
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: And then at BYU maybe b Uyu is really good

760
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: again maybe not. And then against Navy. I mean there's

761
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: there's no frontline team, and there's a couple potential secondary

762
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: teams like BYU and Miami on that list three fifty

763
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: six on ninety three point three KJRFM, I want to

764
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: see if we can come to a happy medium on

765
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: this Sam Darnold situation. We're gonna do that next on

766
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM,
