Speaker 1: How easy it was to lie when one had to lie.
Speaker 2: Telling me you expect you some money. In five seventy
Speaker 2: Ela Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, making our
Speaker 2: way towards seven o'clock, followed a big Clipper victory, their
Speaker 2: sixth in a row. We will have NFL football this
Speaker 2: weekend Championship Round on Sundays.
Speaker 1: And we didn't start by like, hey, it was a catch, No,
Speaker 1: it was a pick. That's not how we started the
Speaker 1: show today. We started the show talking with Clippers, okay,
Speaker 1: because we support our partner. There went a lot of.
Speaker 2: Games, right, Adam Austlin six in a row.
Speaker 1: I feel bad, Matt. You know, I'm so drunk with
Speaker 1: Clipper success that you know I shouldn't. I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: talked out of turn Darren Kates's weekend, much like Miss Robin.
Speaker 1: I talked out of turn. You know, got a term,
Speaker 1: Miss Robin. I got distracted, you know, with thinking about
Speaker 1: what he wore to the rodeo, and I don't think
Speaker 1: he got to tell his full weekend tiale. You know, no,
Speaker 1: I got it, and I'm good. No, I feel bad now,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel.
Speaker 2: Badly, So you want him to step on your whip here.
Speaker 2: I mean it is four fifteen. We did go considerably
Speaker 2: over on the holl is your week woo?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not going to start the freaking game.
Speaker 2: They got a countdown clock. That countdown clock is not
Speaker 2: gonna go to kick. I can promise you.
Speaker 1: That where's the where's the clock?
Speaker 2: It's in the top left corner and it said thirty
Speaker 2: five thirty two, thirty five, twenty thirty five, eighteen thirty
Speaker 2: five oh two.
Speaker 1: That's that's an eternity. Come on, okay, yeah, schwartzto what
Speaker 1: did what did I miss?
Speaker 2: Didn't miss anything?
Speaker 1: Petros. Do you wear those special ned Kolletti boots?
Speaker 2: I wish I had cowboy woots.
Speaker 1: I do not have them.
Speaker 2: No, So what kind of shoes did you wear? You
Speaker 2: were tennis shoes. I wore vans. Oh my gosh, I'm
Speaker 2: surprised they let you in.
Speaker 1: Right, you got to go on a special poop cage.
Speaker 2: It's not a poop cage. It's just it's not like
Speaker 2: in the middle of the dirt. It's right in the
Speaker 2: middle and they bury it in the dirt. So your
Speaker 2: ground level, like your eyeballs are looking at the bulls
Speaker 2: balls yeah, if you follow my Twitter, which you guys
Speaker 2: apparently don't. At Tim Kates, I posted, why didn't you
Speaker 2: put it on Instagram?
Speaker 1: Instagram is private private.
Speaker 2: I'm part of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't put it. I don't know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. He's trying to promote
Speaker 1: the thing. He loves, the PBR. He's trying to promote it.
Speaker 1: Kate's wants to work there.
Speaker 2: Let's wish let's talk some college football.
Speaker 1: See did you hear that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I wish.
Speaker 1: I like these guys. These guys are love better than
Speaker 1: Petroson money. These are real men who ride bulls.
Speaker 2: Oh, here it is, sit in the cage, wash tag
Speaker 2: eight seconds. Watch the bull come right at you.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's the white bull too. That's why you
Speaker 2: took that video.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's a Coinciden's back.
Speaker 2: The white bull's got nobody riding it, and buck that
Speaker 2: dude right off. Black bull's got a white dude on it.
Speaker 2: I have no incidence, Matt.
Speaker 1: I do not like that being said. Well, my music
Speaker 1: is playing.
Speaker 2: There's actually a mix of white guys and Hispanic guys
Speaker 2: that actually ride the bulls.
Speaker 1: He surprised here in southern California Mexican rancheros. Surely you,
Speaker 1: just because when I was a young man growing up
Speaker 1: in Colexico, I saw many rincheros who rode the bulls.
Speaker 1: You know, it was a different time when I played
Speaker 1: college football. Matt, we played in the Sun Bowl, and
Speaker 1: they took us across the border and we went to
Speaker 1: a bullfight in Warez.
Speaker 2: I bet that ended a little bit differently than the
Speaker 2: bull the PBR did.
Speaker 1: And ended with bloody dad. Yeah, Cat, did anybody die
Speaker 1: at your event?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, never, no, no, it's not like Santa Anita, did
Speaker 1: you grizzly? No, Santa Anita, somebody's gonna die. Ah. I'm kidding,
Speaker 1: of course. In terms of this college football season will
Speaker 1: end denied at the hard Rung Stadium. The Hoosier hysteria
Speaker 1: has put every school on notice that success can be
Speaker 1: found in one off season. IU began the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five season with more losses than any other FBS program ever. Ever,
Speaker 1: now at fifteen to zero, the Hoosiers climbed out of
Speaker 1: the cellar and Northwestern now occupies the bottom spot in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. We can all enjoy that Indiana is experiencing
Speaker 1: its own version of Fernando Mania, just like the Dodgers
Speaker 1: did in the eighties. Except this Fernando is very comfortable
Speaker 1: with the English language. It is not camera shy at all. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the Miami Mania has not reached the fever pitch of
Speaker 1: Indiana's passion except for one man, and Matt I think
Speaker 1: you know who that man is, the man with the
Speaker 1: fever pitch passion on the sideline on all fours, Michael.
Speaker 2: Irvin, Oh, no doubt in my mind.
Speaker 1: Is there a prop bet about how much he will appear?
Speaker 2: Well, they cut him out of the last game, that's right,
Speaker 2: Like you said, I mean, he's all over there.
Speaker 1: They wrote him like the black Bull.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at the rodeo, the win over Ohio State, like everywhere.
Speaker 2: They already showed him on the ESPN pregame. He has
Speaker 2: miked up with his like one of those like little
Speaker 2: uh oh, he's micd with him Adonna mic yep. No, No,
Speaker 2: it's like one of those ones you guys use for
Speaker 2: Instagram and stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, So he's not going to break into respect yourself.
Speaker 2: No, I think he's got like somebody falling with the
Speaker 2: video camera so he can put it out.
Speaker 1: There, don't go for a second best man put shut
Speaker 1: them up to the tests. You know, you know you
Speaker 1: got them too. Hurricanes losses this season matt to Louisville,
Speaker 1: that was a bad one and SMU yeah kept them
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Those of us in the no call it smooth.
Speaker 1: Almost they did not. They did not let that hamper them.
Speaker 1: Remember Miami is the tenth seed. Even though they lost
Speaker 1: to Smooth, they were the last at large bid in
Speaker 1: the flawed selection process. And before I make my pick,
Speaker 1: I want to add that once we know the outcome
Speaker 1: of the Miami Indiana Championship game, the schools, fans and
Speaker 1: media still have to wait until Friday before finding out
Speaker 1: that the twenty twenty sixth season will have a twelve
Speaker 1: team or a sixteen team playoff format.
Speaker 2: Didn't one didn't somebody suggest twenty four?
Speaker 1: I heard a guy say forty eight.
Speaker 2: Like I just thought I heard like an arbitration, Like
Speaker 2: I think the Big Ten submitted twenty four was their request.
Speaker 1: They're going to do forty eight, and Herb Street is
Speaker 1: going to call them all with his dog.
Speaker 2: He's going to get another dog. I am so overwhelmed
Speaker 2: and stressed. I need to get a second dog.
Speaker 1: After going two and oh in the Semis. My overall
Speaker 1: record this season stood at fifty three and fifty two,
Speaker 1: So at worst I will finish twenty twenty five. After
Speaker 1: all that, at five hundred, core will be two games above.
Speaker 2: Five others better where I am?
Speaker 1: Wosion round?
Speaker 2: You know what do I could I say that? I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't that you lost the juice.
Speaker 1: Man, just a get game, just a young guy for me,
Speaker 1: sat the kidding. The Hoosiers are favored by eight and
Speaker 1: a half. The spread opened at Indiana by seven, so
Speaker 1: the money has been trickling in on IU.
Speaker 2: People like the Hoosiers man.
Speaker 1: The Canees three playoff wins over An, m oh State
Speaker 1: and Ole Miss have been physical and determined victories. But
Speaker 1: will they be ready for the attack mode of Indiana
Speaker 1: with their helmet pointed right at your puzzo, trying to
Speaker 1: split your manhood? And whenever I think of Miami, I
Speaker 1: always see Miller Moss running around and passing around them
Speaker 1: like he did for Louisville at hard Rock Stadium in October.
Speaker 1: I can't get Miller Moss out of my head or
Speaker 1: his mom A. Yeah, meanwhile, Matt, do you see all
Speaker 1: the people are pissed at the Miami students for selling
Speaker 1: their tickets. Yeah, what do you expect? It's a corporate event.
Speaker 2: Man's freaking four grand to get in. Of course, the
Speaker 2: students are going to sell their freaking tickets for ten k.
Speaker 1: Miami's fan base not great, No, although they are great?
Speaker 2: Are you fan base? Thirsty?
Speaker 1: Incredibly first desert as thirsty. Every game Mendoza throws more
Speaker 1: touchdown passes then he throws incomplete passes. He's done that
Speaker 1: five times this season. On thirty Mendoza more TD passes
Speaker 1: than incomplete Sunrial Mendoza. I'm taking the Hoosiers minus eight
Speaker 1: and a half to complete the great Little Lord Fauntleroy
Speaker 1: Ragged Dick, Rags to riches turnaround in sports history. Look
Speaker 1: up Ragged Dick kids.
Speaker 2: Now, that was celebrated last week in our Dead Guy
Speaker 2: Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 1: Rags to Riches. What a moment. And we'll talk to
Speaker 1: Jeff Schwartz in the very next segment and we'll have
Speaker 1: more on Rwanda, new Clipper sponsor.
Speaker 2: We'd take it. No, if we could get an annual
Speaker 2: annual yes, we would absolutely go fly on out here
Speaker 2: where Rwanda has to offer.
Speaker 1: You know, they were gonna call. The guy was dialing
Speaker 1: the last number of the hotline, don't do it to
Speaker 1: hire us, and they heard Kate say they took the
Speaker 1: mates to the.
Speaker 2: Coffee from men.
Speaker 1: Geez, I'm sorry. I wanted to know what he wore
Speaker 1: to the rodeo and it got ugly, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I think that's the question everybody had when Kate said
Speaker 2: he went to the rodeo. Would kate'swear like a mother
Speaker 2: of pearl snap plaid?
Speaker 1: I thought of that's that's right, like.
Speaker 2: A bolo tie, some wranglers that are so tight you
Speaker 2: can see his boots belt buckle. Guy should have gone
Speaker 2: with like the American flag in the belt buckle.
Speaker 1: You weren't invited, good invited anything, right? And if you
Speaker 1: invite Matt, he'll show up a day later, that's right.
Speaker 1: So do you want me to pick up some eyes?
Speaker 1: It was yesterday, you idiot. Oh, we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Sorry about that.
Speaker 4: Taty Petros Papadakis, that money snare. This is Petro Send
Speaker 4: money on demand.
Speaker 2: Petro some Money five seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. Short show Tomorrow Flex Alert two to
Speaker 2: four pm. Clips Bulls as we are following clips Wizards today.
Speaker 2: And remember we are your home of the AFC Championship Game.
Speaker 2: We will get Pats at Broncos kickoff at noon right
Speaker 2: here this coming Sunday, and then of course two weeks

Speaker 2: February eighth. We are your home p of the NFL.
Speaker 1: That's right. We got plenty of NFL action, including the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, just not the Ram game, but joining us
Speaker 1: now to discuss it all. It's a great football man
Speaker 1: and a great football mind, a man who defended the
Speaker 1: Pac ten in its day and twelve eight years of
Speaker 1: the NFL. You hear them on Fox Sports Radio. Serious
Speaker 1: ex m NFL former star at the Palisades Football High
Speaker 1: School Complex. Let's go Dolphins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I had a Dolphins sound effect, I'd play it.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks, Matt, that's just that's really great.
Speaker 2: I'm trying.
Speaker 1: It's Jeff Schwartz on the Petros Money Show on Ampire
Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports on your Southern California Toyota Deither celebrity Hotline.
Speaker 1: How you doing, Jeff?
Speaker 5: Whatever that dolphin noise was exactly how we entered our
Speaker 5: high school football until every day to make sure that
Speaker 5: we're ready for football.
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: That's that's how they do it on the north side
Speaker 1: of the Santa Monica Bay Math. That's yeah, Jeff, it's
Speaker 1: great to talk to you. It's been a long football
Speaker 1: season with a lot of I mean, in the middle
Speaker 1: of the season, James Franklin gets fired and kind of
Speaker 1: hijack the story from the kids. But they all get
Speaker 1: paid now too, so I don't know what they deserve,
Speaker 1: but Miami, Indiana is not a bad thing to end
Speaker 1: up with. What are your feelings on it?
Speaker 5: I just wish the schedule was better for college football.
Speaker 5: I feel like they're doing a disservice by playing this.
Speaker 5: There have been ten NFL playoff games between the last
Speaker 5: time a culturable playoff game has been played. Ten NFL playoff.
Speaker 3: Games, two whole weekends have been played.
Speaker 5: I feel like the Overshadows should be a really good
Speaker 5: game because you have an Indiana team. This is a
Speaker 5: story that's unprecedent in college football. R I've never been
Speaker 5: done before the way they've done this the Miami team, right,
Speaker 5: Welcome back to you. Marik Crystabal takes that job and
Speaker 5: get from back to the champion game of four seasons.
Speaker 5: And so I just wish that the NFL playoffs, which
Speaker 5: had been fantastic obviously, would overshadow a game like this.
Speaker 5: I think we have a good game tonight. Look, Indiana
Speaker 5: feels like a freight train. Man, I don't really I've
Speaker 5: watched my Ducks play them twice. I watched obviously didn't
Speaker 5: play Alabama and then play close games include close. I
Speaker 5: will closely more Ohio State, but I think the matchup
Speaker 5: with Miami really favorites Indiana. Look, Miami takes a long
Speaker 5: time to score on offense, and that really worries me.
Speaker 5: I think college football, you have to be able to score.
Speaker 5: Are supposed to plays because the more drives using, the
Speaker 5: more plays you have in a drive, the more a
Speaker 5: penalty shows up, a turnover, a bad snap, a weird play.
Speaker 5: Now second and twelve and the drive is over right
Speaker 5: or third and fifteen, Like it's just And I know
Speaker 5: Miami can score fast enough in Indiana, and that does
Speaker 5: seem cern me.
Speaker 2: Well, I assume you're you're close with your alma mater, Jeff, Like,
Speaker 2: what is oh, he's close? What does the emergence of
Speaker 2: Indiana do to a spot like Oregon where Phil Knight
Speaker 2: essentially you know, has a I don't know if you
Speaker 2: want to say, a blank check, but contributes a lot
Speaker 2: of money to that program. And here in two years
Speaker 2: with a guy like Mark Cuban. Now you see what
Speaker 2: they're able to do. They're spending a bunch of money
Speaker 2: next year on guys coming in as well. How does
Speaker 2: that I don't know, how does that jibe with like what?
Speaker 2: Because obviously they Lanning's done a great job. But man,
Speaker 2: what Signetti has done seems to have changed the calculus everywhere.
Speaker 5: I don't know if Signetti is going to change the sport.
Speaker 5: I think this is such a historic thing that's hard
Speaker 5: to replicate. I mean, part of the success that he's
Speaker 5: had it that he just had these damn you guys
Speaker 5: that came with him, right, I mean that's just you're
Speaker 5: not gonna be able to do that again because you're
Speaker 5: probably not gonna have a coach who has seven class
Speaker 5: from a school from a small school, right, not a
Speaker 5: small school, but not a non power four school that
Speaker 5: can bring up and be the base of what you are.
Speaker 5: Man Doza, I thought the time was a great addition
Speaker 5: for them. You know he's been was great at Calm.
Speaker 5: People just don't pay attention to how football calle like
Speaker 5: they you know they used to or they should. And
Speaker 5: so I don't know if people that saw that sort
Speaker 5: of being what it was. I think I think it's
Speaker 5: hard to replicate now as far as Oregon or I
Speaker 5: think Organ's right rad they should be. They have always
Speaker 5: targeted twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven. When when you
Speaker 5: are a new coach, first time head coach, that's Dan Lanning.
Speaker 5: It takes six years to win a championship. Look at
Speaker 5: Ryan Day year six, Kirby Smart year six. I think
Speaker 5: Dado was year seven. Even urban Meyer. Urban Meyer was
Speaker 5: on a sixth year as a head coach when we
Speaker 5: won a championship. It takes time. It takes time. And
Speaker 5: this is year four formatting. It just ended forty eight
Speaker 5: and eight In four years, every year they've gone one
Speaker 5: step closer to a championship. Right, So I think this
Speaker 5: program is where we needs to be. Everyone came back,
Speaker 5: which I think it isn't even takes with Indiana said
Speaker 5: we saw twenty twenty three, Michigan twenty twenty four, Ohio
Speaker 5: State twenty twenty five, Indiana old man, old team, grown
Speaker 5: men playing out there and with nil now and as
Speaker 5: much money as are getting, guys are more inclined to
Speaker 5: stay a little bit later. So I think it changes
Speaker 5: nothing about where Oregon's at, you know. Unfortunately, we'd love
Speaker 5: to win a championship and hoping you can get there at
Speaker 5: some points.
Speaker 1: Jeffs Watts joining us right now on the Peterson Money Show.
Speaker 1: A great football mind, and he does a great job
Speaker 1: of being impartial and giving very thoughtful opinions. But it
Speaker 1: did occur to me, Jeff, we're not having you on
Speaker 1: because of this. Uh. We just had John because you know,
Speaker 1: we we like your style and you're great at the
Speaker 1: NFL and college. But it did occur to me that
Speaker 1: there has to be a pretty high bitterness level for
Speaker 1: the Ducks here with crystal Ball on one side in
Speaker 1: Indiana that ran over the Ducks twice on the other side,
Speaker 1: how are you able to fight through that and give
Speaker 1: such cognitive analysis?
Speaker 5: What are you end? Uncovering this game tonight would would
Speaker 5: help me a little bit, I think in my wallet.
Speaker 5: Good for me. Look, I don't know, man, so Mario
Speaker 5: thing like, I don't know what he did what he
Speaker 5: could have organed.
Speaker 3: He left the.
Speaker 5: Program better than when he than when he got it.
Speaker 5: He went back to his hometown like, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't, Mario.
Speaker 5: We've got a good coach who Dan Landing is like
Speaker 5: on top of that, I don't. I don't really, I
Speaker 5: don't understand animosity on the inner night obviously, the you know,
Speaker 5: the the you know, I think the Miami fans seem
Speaker 5: to be taking in a certain way. I I thought
Speaker 5: about this, like, what would be worse for my my
Speaker 5: social media mentions? Probably Miami winning that would probably be worse.
Speaker 5: It would be you know, Indiana is new to this, right,
Speaker 5: this is this a couple of years old now with
Speaker 5: with with their with their with being strong on on
Speaker 5: social media. Miami fans would just like it would be
Speaker 5: bad probably so it'd be worse. But look, our rivals
Speaker 5: aren't winning a championship. Lanning's last five losses had been
Speaker 5: to teams that have played or won a championship, played
Speaker 5: four championship, or won a championship. So look, I hope
Speaker 5: we get it done some point. We're close, you know,
Speaker 5: that's not what you know, he's not paid to be close.
Speaker 5: But you know, I think that that just shows that
Speaker 5: organ organ's close and hope we can we can get
Speaker 5: you know, get it going one day.
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz with us. That is GEO F. F. Schwartz.
Speaker 2: You can follow him on Instagram. He's got his podcast.
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz just than you a lot of that surrounding
Speaker 2: you making some money off this stuff if you're paying attention, Jeff,
Speaker 2: to the to the NFL ranks and start with the
Speaker 2: team that because you do a ton of breakdowns. We
Speaker 2: follow you on social media. You did quite a bit
Speaker 2: on the Chargers and what Justin Herbert was doing this year.
Speaker 2: Do you think this is as I don't want to
Speaker 2: say it's easy a fix, but what kind of fix
Speaker 2: could be there for Harbaugh and a defense that's played
Speaker 2: lights out two years in a row, just by changing
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator and maybe getting somebody else in there
Speaker 2: besides Greg Roman next year?
Speaker 5: Well, I think, you know, the Roman just sort of
Speaker 5: feels like it has a little lifespan and.
Speaker 3: When it's done, it's done.
Speaker 5: I don't think this offensive passing schemes are all that.
Speaker 3: Exquisite. And then think it.
Speaker 5: Gets his team into trouble at times and look it's
Speaker 5: very simple. Slayer all got to come back to healthy obviously,
Speaker 5: and then you got to find something to your guys.
Speaker 5: You can't go in the season with Boseman. I found
Speaker 5: it's so interesting that like season ends and justin Herbert,
Speaker 5: you know my fault. I got to play better. I
Speaker 5: gotta do I gotta do it. The offensive linemen are like,
Speaker 5: I was fine. The scheme was bad for me.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what what what?
Speaker 5: What? Like? That's what we're going with. We're going with like,
Speaker 5: I played my best, the scheme was bad, Like, how
Speaker 5: about I have some responsibility and keeping my quarterback upright?
Speaker 5: I didn't do my job. I thought that was pretty
Speaker 5: fascinating to me that that was sort of the way
Speaker 5: that the charge offensive lineman went in this. I think
Speaker 5: Herbert's got to play better, right. I think, look, Drake
Speaker 5: May his offense line is not very good. It's not
Speaker 5: the Chargers, but it's not very good. He's making enough
Speaker 5: plays to win games, right You You can do enough
Speaker 5: at times with that offensive line to win games. And
Speaker 5: I think that's where Herbert's got to get a little
Speaker 5: bit better. Look, I love Herbert. He's incredible. He's just good.
Speaker 3: Everyone wants him to be. But that's the next The next.
Speaker 5: Step, right is like when things aren't perfect, can you
Speaker 5: make the magic in the postseason? And obviously I think
Speaker 5: it's back helping the offensive line. I think they'll be
Speaker 5: able to do that.
Speaker 3: Serious.
Speaker 5: Just who ends up hiring, you know, the offense?
Speaker 3: Does it turn more? And they're like, what Harball wants.
Speaker 5: From an offense? Is it a new guy? What he
Speaker 5: wants from the offense? Curious how much, say Harball has
Speaker 5: in the offense?
Speaker 1: All right? What about the Rams? The Rams and the
Speaker 1: Seahawks the third time around? What a crazy game at
Speaker 1: Soldier Field. What a wild deal. I mean, what's there
Speaker 1: to say about what the Rambleys got going right now?
Speaker 3: Jeff Well that game?
Speaker 5: I mean, the Rams keep doing the same thing right
Speaker 5: where they just keep blowing the end of these games,
Speaker 5: Seattle whatever. A month ago, the Panthers game six weeks ago,
Speaker 5: seven weeks ago, they did the Eagles, and I mean
Speaker 5: Karen Williams threw a fifty yard fourteen Hail Mary. It
Speaker 5: was a fourth New York completion, Hail Mary. I mean
Speaker 5: it was a great job by them getting the design
Speaker 5: and we get comet one on one and I mean
Speaker 5: maybe he pushed off, maybe he didn't, but the Rams
Speaker 5: just can't. I think the Rams didn't think Williams could
Speaker 5: make that throw. I didn't.
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, the game's over.
Speaker 5: He's going backwards and back foot like you know, he's
Speaker 5: doing some of the stuff we saw a US see
Speaker 5: some of those special plays which which Williams can really
Speaker 5: can really do like maybe not.
Speaker 3: Other in the NFL.
Speaker 5: And to me, the Rams, like I picked them before
Speaker 5: Matt Stafford's back injury in August, I thought they'd be
Speaker 5: right here. I thought they would play in this game
Speaker 5: again and be close to Super Bowl, which I was
Speaker 5: right of. I just I want to see their best game.
Speaker 5: I don't think they've played their best game maybe all season.
Speaker 5: It's been a while, right, Like if you go down
Speaker 5: their schedule and even Week eighteen, like first half against
Speaker 5: the Cardinals kind of second.
Speaker 3: Half great, Right.
Speaker 5: They had moments this year where they have been unbelievable,
Speaker 5: and I just want to see sixteen minutes of that,
Speaker 5: because that they can be Seattle with sixteen minutes of
Speaker 5: their best football they'd played this season. But at some point,
Speaker 5: you are what you are, right, you are the team
Speaker 5: you you are every week and I just I don't
Speaker 5: know if they've played at sixty minutes. I think Seattle
Speaker 5: will play that way now. Darnold, I don't trust him exactly.
Speaker 5: That Charbony injury is a problem, I think because they've
Speaker 5: started to run the ball a lot better in Seattle,
Speaker 5: which was a struggle for them probably for the first
Speaker 5: twelve fourteen weeks. And part of that as the two
Speaker 5: headed monster right of having Walker and Sharbona and sort
Speaker 5: of different balances he can get from those guys. Charbony
Speaker 5: being out is a big loss for them. But the
Speaker 5: Rams can play sixty minutes of their best football. I
Speaker 5: think they're going to win this game. I think they're
Speaker 5: gonna not even win the Super Bowl. I think the
Speaker 5: winner the n C Chamsion game ends up winning the
Speaker 5: Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Are they I hope this makes sense.
Speaker 3: Are they?
Speaker 2: Because you kind of alluded to it, Jeff. Are they good?
Speaker 2: Are they incredibly lucky in the moments where they have
Speaker 2: to be lucky? Because it just it feels like things
Speaker 2: all season long have broke their way, sort of similarly
Speaker 2: to Denver, whether it's missed field goals or these tight
Speaker 2: one score games where things just managed to break late.
Speaker 2: You know in their favor. Is that them making the
Speaker 2: luck or have you know? Notice that that maybe with
Speaker 2: each of these teams half of the championship games. It
Speaker 2: just feels like these teams have really gotten a lot
Speaker 2: of breaks throughout the course of the year.
Speaker 5: I think it's fair to say, if you make it
Speaker 5: this far, you've gotten a fair amount of breaks. I
Speaker 5: don't think you can make it this far unless unless
Speaker 5: you unless you get some of those right now. On
Speaker 5: the flip side of the Rams book that blocks field
Speaker 5: goal against Philly right like they have a chance to. I
Speaker 5: think two blocked field goals in that game right end
Speaker 5: up costing them back game they lost to the Seahawks,
Speaker 5: and the two point conversion I think I saw a
Speaker 5: tweet was pretty funny, says something like, imagine you're drunk
Speaker 5: at the gaming. You just saw your team attempt the
Speaker 5: worst two point attempt you've ever seen in your life,
Speaker 5: and you got two points from it. So that like
Speaker 5: they worst play of all time, they got two points.
Speaker 5: So they haven't end an all books in their way, right,
Speaker 5: And I think that that, you know, if they can
Speaker 5: just play sixty minutes of I thought their game plan
Speaker 5: and that was one I'm not studying the Day's game
Speaker 5: play every week. I thought it was one of his
Speaker 5: worst game points I've seen in a while from me.
Speaker 5: They should have ran the ball forty five times, they
Speaker 5: got anything they wanted in between the tackles the entire game,
Speaker 5: and then just went away from it. They get seven
Speaker 5: eight yards and passed the ball three times a punt
Speaker 5: or they run an end a round for a seventh
Speaker 5: wide receiver. Okay, great, best playing NFL. Jordan witting Tam Whittington,
Speaker 5: what do we do? Why are we doing that in
Speaker 5: the snow with bad footing? Like? Why is he getting
Speaker 5: an end around? You run the ball two times in
Speaker 5: a row for seven yards and you know each and
Speaker 5: you get I don't, I mean in the game plan.
Speaker 5: So I think the Rams have it in them to
Speaker 5: play the game that they're capable of playing. Jared Versus
Speaker 5: got to show up.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe Yesterday's playing at the backup left tackle
Speaker 5: in tight ends with walking. He's got to play better.
Speaker 5: The secondary played well. Yesterday, got to continue to play.
Speaker 5: You'll play well. The Day have a chance to win.
Speaker 5: This team if they all play, they should Jeff.
Speaker 1: Last thing for you can Sean Payton prove what a
Speaker 1: genius he is by winning the AFC Championship game with
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback? Old spit him.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna win.
Speaker 5: I uh, I just it's more of a lack of
Speaker 5: faith in New England offensively hasn't been pretty. They got
Speaker 5: to play Justin Herbert. No offensive line whatever that was
Speaker 5: from Stroud yesterday. That guy was zero confidence in his
Speaker 5: ability and he's really backtracked for the last two years.
Speaker 5: And I think get a Denver team that rumed offensive line,
Speaker 5: good skill guys. I did see that Dobbins today was
Speaker 5: activated off the or Price practicing window.
Speaker 3: Was opened up.
Speaker 5: He would be a huge addition to this run game
Speaker 5: that probably with the Broncos offenses, they don't.
Speaker 3: Have running back.
Speaker 5: I mean they the offense line is good, they don't
Speaker 5: have Harvey and McLoughlin are play. It needs like a
Speaker 5: big Domins. It needs like a real running back for
Speaker 5: this offense and Chanpagne that has done it well with backups.
Speaker 5: Now it was Teddy Bridgewater or not to Sidham, but
Speaker 5: the Patriots offense may I think has two or three fumbles,
Speaker 5: two or three interceptions, a couple of fumbles in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: It's not been a great offense.
Speaker 5: And this Denver defense with their Billy RuSHA pass or
Speaker 5: the Patriots offense line concerns of my opinion. They don't
Speaker 5: have great wide receivers. Gluby made a great play, great
Speaker 5: catch in the game this day, but it's not a great.
Speaker 3: Group of skill guys.
Speaker 5: I just think that if Bonus was playing, I'd.
Speaker 3: Pick Denver to Hartbeat.
Speaker 5: I mean, like they're in and what everything.
Speaker 3: About Bowie Nicks.
Speaker 5: It makes a lot of touch plays now inside of that,
Speaker 5: and there's you know, that's a he just does. It
Speaker 5: makes a ton of big throws when it matters most.
Speaker 5: But I think Denver is live on this one. I mean,
Speaker 5: people will discount them a lot in this game, but
Speaker 5: I like the way they're made up. I like Sean Payne.
Speaker 5: It's more of a little bit of a Fate.
Speaker 2: Of New England again. All the social media outlets including YouTube,
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz, GEO f F, Instagram, the podcast Jeff Schwartz
Speaker 2: is Smarter than you, great stuff available. Been a while
Speaker 2: since we caught up with them. We certainly appreciate it
Speaker 2: on both fronts. Championship Game tonight in the NCAA and
Speaker 2: of course the championship round a week from yesterday. That
Speaker 2: you'll hear right here, Jeff, Thanks so much, man.
Speaker 5: I mean it's fifteen minutes no shelf in the usc
Speaker 5: US to be proud of men.
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll take it, Jeff. I mean you know
Speaker 1: that I am open to the masochism. I'm it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter to me anymore. They could just wear pink and
Speaker 1: change the name of the mascot if they're not going
Speaker 1: to play notre name. It doesn't make sense to me anymore.
Speaker 5: Hey man, I just look just what happened to the
Speaker 5: winmen game of the trenches. That's what I agree up
Speaker 5: with USC and you did as well. If all, I
Speaker 5: want to get back to who.
Speaker 1: Will protect the walls of Troy, Jeff? Who will protect
Speaker 1: the walls of Troy? Nobody? That's who our leadership is
Speaker 1: corroded the great Jeff Schwartz. An awesome interview, always in
Speaker 1: a great football man from a great football family, making

Speaker 1: Much more fanatic, like a reverse layup, right.
Speaker 2: Much more athletic than the other barbies. She is wearing.
Speaker 2: I would describe a University of Michigan circa fab five
Speaker 2: like shorts that are past her knee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they kind of look like pal pushers, yeah, culottes,
