1
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: God bless football, Mikey a god bless football, Taylor, god

2
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: blessed football Mike Golick.

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: Oh, you could just tell the disappointment in his voice.

4
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm not certain if he prefers

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: to throw it to you or take it from you,

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: So I think he was equally as happy.

7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: Tailor were you excited to throw it to Mike Gulicks

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: and you're there?

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 4: I wasn't expecting it. So once the ball came to me,

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 4: it was like a producer in my ear saying, hey,

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 4: toss it a Gulick, and I was like, this is

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 4: my moment.

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mikey through a curve.

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 5: That's the producer equivalent of the no look past Yep.

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: How was your Thanksgiving? Mike? Good? It was. It was quiet,

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: and now the sickness is running through the house between

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: me and my wife Sidney Ben and the two kids.

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: So you know you know how that works? Yeah that works?

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I know how that works. You enjoyed turkey, So

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: this is interesting. You told me that you didn't have to.

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: We know it's Trent Dilfert needs help.

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: We understand that.

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: But you did tell me something on Friday that I

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: find interesting. You have Thanksgiving lunch, and I am jealous

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: that you do it around twelve or one o'clock. Most

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: people do it around three thirty, four, thirty, five thirty.

28
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: I prefer doing it at lunchtime. And I was pleased

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: to hear that you, too, are someone who enjoys your

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving meal three hours after you wake up.

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: And that's always been the case, even when I was

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: growing up in Willowick, Ohio. My parents, Nay, my mo,

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: she had the dinner ready by twelve one o'clock. And

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: that way, again, you get the most out of it.

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: You get seconds, you get leftovers all through football. So

36
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's the most quite honestly, it's the most

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: optimum time to do it if you do it later

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: in the day. Now listen, I'm I'm not begrudging anybody

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: to do it whenever you want to do it. But

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: if I wasn't eat until four or five o'clock, I'd

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: be picking during the day. I'd have to eat something,

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: and then I might be a little more full by

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: the time this big meal is prepared and you feel

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 2: you have to stuff your pie hole with it. So yeah,

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of noon one o'clock.

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: Taylor put it on the poll.

47
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: Should Mike Golick Senior be the commissioner of Thanksgiving? Because

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I am all for it. Mike, Yeah, he should be

49
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: overseeing Thanksgiving.

50
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, why is this not a thing?

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 5: Like I'm upset that this is just now coming up.

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: And I could see why some people don't like it

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: because one thing that was new to me that the

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: kids growing up were like, this is the norm. Wednesday night,

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: the night before Thanksgiving is a party night, big night.

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: I had no idea. I was this many days old

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: when I found that out. So it may be that

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: people then sleep in, say for those who is cooking

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: the meal, because it takes a lot of prep time

60
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: Wednesday and cook time Thursday. Maybe that's why people eat later,

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: because they don't we wake up early. We're up six

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: seven o'clock, so by the time noon or one rolls around,

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: we've been up for a little while. But people that

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: don't get up till nine, ten, eleven o'clock, I guess

65
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: I could see having dinner later.

66
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 5: It's the first time everyone's home from college. Yeah, right, now,

67
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 5: that's why that's why it's the big night.

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: Isn't that when like high school sweethearts who broke up

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: and went to college. Then Wednesday night they meet up

70
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: at the bar and they make the mistake of thinking

71
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: they could rekindle their high school love and it just

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: turns out awfully. Yeah.

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: I have done that several times. Oh man, oh god,

74
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: too funny.

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Mike, what did you make of well link if it

76
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: is gone? He chose LSU. What'd you make of his

77
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: decision and the decision by Mississippi to not allow him

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: to coach his team in the playoff here?

79
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I get that. It's it's the same conference.

80
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: It's it's you know, a rivalry team that you I

81
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: mean because there are others like like is Bob Chesney

82
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: who's going from James Madison to UCLA And basically both

83
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: schools are like, hey, if James Madison makes a playoff,

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: go ahead and coach. Well, that's a bit of a

85
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: different jump from James Madison to UCLA. Not in the

86
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: same conference, not you know that that's a step up.

87
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: This is like a step sideways with a rival in

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: the conference. So I get it. And Lane's playing the

89
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: victim game, I mean his latest and listen, I think

90
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: he's a great coach and does a great job, but

91
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: sitting there saying I tried to coach the guys the

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: players wanted me to, and now his latest presser, I

93
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: don't even know what I'm making. I don't even know

94
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: what the contract. You're so full of shit. I mean,

95
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: come on, it's everybody knows what you're making. It is

96
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: unbelievably out there, So don't don't act like, oh, I'm

97
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: just doing it for the kids. I don't even know

98
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: what I make. I mean, just just It's like when

99
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: a baseball player or basketball player signs for big money.

100
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: You know what you're allowed to say. It's about the money,

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: you can say, because I don't think this was fully

102
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: about the money, because I think Ole Miss probably would

103
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 2: have come close to matching it. It's like Brian Kelly

104
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: when he left Notre Dame, He's like, you know what,

105
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: the one thing missing from my resume is a national championship.

106
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: I think I'll have a better chance year in and

107
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: year out with the recruiting I can do with LSU

108
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: and have a better chance to win a national title

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: LSU than Notre Dame. Now he was wrong, but that's

110
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: it's it's his right to think that way, and for

111
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: Lane to go to LSU, he may get you know,

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: LSU was like one of the top five as far

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: as states and high school recruits. He may get more recruits.

114
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: He may just have to fill in spots in the portal.

115
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: It may be a better opportunity, but we'll see how

116
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: all plays out.

117
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: Mike, I was trying to explain to the guys that

118
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: to a person like Lane Kiffin, who is from a

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: football family, his dad.

120
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 3: Is Monte Kiffin, jobs like LSU.

121
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Now it might not mean something to his kids, but

122
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: it means something to Lane Kiffin being the head coach

123
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: at LSU.

124
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: There's ego involved, and that's a top five job in America.

125
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. Listen, without question, it is now because

126
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 2: people will say, well, he has Mississippi in a better

127
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: spot than LSU and Florida, so why wouldn't he stay

128
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: at Mississippi. Mississippi is deemed a better job. I mean,

129
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: LSU is deemed a better job. Like I said, you'll

130
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: get five. I mean the players they turn out to

131
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: the NFL, I mean is ridiculous. They get incredible talent

132
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: and you need a coach to kind of harness that

133
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: we know before Kelly. The last three coaches all won

134
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: national championships there and that's the expectation for Lane Kiffin

135
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,119
Speaker 2: as well. So again it's his right to make the move.

136
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: Was it a little messy and now taking offensive coaches

137
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: basically saying get on the plane to baton rouge or

138
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: you may lose your spot. It's it's certainly the coach.

139
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: The coach is making the decision. So people can blame

140
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: the system all they want, and the system is a

141
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: bit jacked up, there's no doubt about that. Yes, the

142
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: coaches are still making the decisions. Sataki, the coach at

143
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: BYU is now maybe the front runner of Penn State,

144
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: but he's like, I'm dealing with BYU right now. I'm

145
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: making a choice. I'm dealing with BYU the conference championship game,

146
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: possibly the playoffs. Coaches have the chance to make the choice.

147
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: Right, Mike, you would think the biggest the biggest news

148
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: item from that story is that Lane Kiffin spoke to God.

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I just listen again, you know they.

150
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Say like it's ridiculous, just come out and say it's.

151
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: Just yeah, I mean again again, because you put it

152
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: in the stack of thing I'm doing this for the kids.

153
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm making. I mean, it's just

154
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: you just shake your head and say, come on, do

155
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: you think we're all idiots?

156
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: Now?

157
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: Do you think you're you're the most high coach who's

158
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: doing sacrificing everything for the kids.

159
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 4: You're not.

160
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: You made a choice for yourself and that's fine. You're

161
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: allowed to Players are allowed to do that now. Right.

162
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: We used to feel bad for players when coaches ditched

163
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: on them. Now how players have more freedom than coaches.

164
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: They can leave every year. They have free agency every year,

165
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,239
Speaker 2: So nobody needs to feel bad for anybody.

166
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: Hey, Mike, I got a solution to all this. A

167
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: coaches transfer portal. A transfer window doesn't open till after

168
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 5: the season, after the playoffs. This way there is no lane.

169
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: Kippen's gonna leave until after the playoffs. He has to

170
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 5: wait until I don't know, January thirtieth, the window coaches

171
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 5: transfer window opens, and then he can leave.

172
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: And now you didn't miss anything. Well, I mean you

173
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: can do that with the players as well. You can

174
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: push this season started earlier, and you can have the

175
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: National Championship game the first week in January, and you

176
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: can have the portal open the second week in January

177
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: that way. Now, is it a perfect solution. No, because

178
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: new coaches have to set their staff, they have to

179
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: talk to to high school recruits. It's not just about

180
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: a portal. I get it. It's not the perfect situation.

181
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: You have to go start your new job, but you

182
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: can make the calendar more palatable.

183
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 5: But just just think about like the day NFL free

184
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 5: agency starts, just refreshing Twitter for Adam Schefter, just think

185
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 5: of the same thing.

186
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: On coaching. Oh he went there, Oh he went there.

187
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 5: I mean, it could be it could be one of

188
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 5: the best sports days of the year.

189
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: They have to do something. And the reason we're talking

190
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: about it this year. Listen, coaches change jobs every single year.

191
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: But now we're talking about a coach because we said,

192
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: when is a player gonna skip when that team's in

193
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs, And it's happened. But it's the backup bot.

194
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: Pribulah left Penn State when they were going to be

195
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: in the playoffs so he could get going at Missouri.

196
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: But he was a backup. Right now, this is a

197
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: coach who obviously is a is an excellent coach leaving

198
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: a team that's going to the playoffs. So this is

199
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: kind of a first to where everybody is kind of

200
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: up in arms, and the process was a little bit

201
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: messy as well, so all of a sudden, everybody's reactionary

202
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: and saying, Okay, how do we fix this, when in

203
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: all honesty, it's probably not going to happen that much.

204
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: No stick out's here.

205

Speaker 2: Mike.

240
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 4: I hate to do this because I consider you a mentor,

241
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: but a couple of weeks ago I laid out a

242
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 4: scenario that the ACC could potentially miss the playoffs. And

243
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 4: now we're looking at seven and five Duke in the

244
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: conference championship game. So if Duke does win the ACC,

245
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: what does the committee do with an eight and five

246
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 4: ACC champion Duke?

247
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: And you're right, I was wrong on that. I said

248
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: the ACC was in and they're not. Two group of

249
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: five teams could be in over the ACC. If if

250
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: Duke wins, the ACC very well may be out. They

251
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: may be out, especially if Tulane wins and who is

252
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: jamu JM you right? If they both win, a lot

253
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: of it will depend on tonight where the committee kind

254
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: of places everybody tonight. Same for the you you know

255
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: where they placed in comparison, not just to Notre Dame,

256
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: but to BYU, to Alabama, Alabama. I mean, what happens

257
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 2: to them if they have a third loss? Could it

258
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 2: be the exact same thing as last year where they

259
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: end up on the outside looking in. But ACC could

260
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: absolutely end up without without being in the playoffs, and

261
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 2: everybody will be up in arms. Again.

262
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 3: You gotta love this time of year.

263
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Might because you have Sark in Texas saying, hey, don't

264
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: penalize us for playing Ohio State Week one. It's that's

265
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: not why we're penalizing him. He lost a billion apier.

266
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: But now you have the Miami ad coming out and

267
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: he says that he wants to revisit the tiebreakers.

268
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: In college football because it's.

269
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 3: Working against them.

270
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: Listen, if I were a Miami player, or I'd be

271
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: upset too.

272
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: It's hard to look at that team and not say

273
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: they're one of the top twelve teams in the.

274
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: Coach It isn't. And when you compare them to Notre Dame,

275
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: they beat Notre Dame. Albeit it was the first game,

276
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: and I get it. Teams are different, and their two

277
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: losses were worse than Notre Dame's two losses, but Notre

278
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: Dame did lose to Miami head to head. If I

279
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: were a player, I'd be pissed because I'd be like,

280
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: the only way I can decide anything me personally is

281
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: on the field, and we played this team on the

282
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: field and we beat them. So what's the answer. We

283
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: leave it up to thirteen human beings? Do you go

284
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: back to the BCS computer. But if you look at

285
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: the BCS computer, which they match up every week, the

286
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: computer has Notre Dame ahead of Miami as well. So

287
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: I don't because Sarks, right. I mean, they played a

288
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: tough schedule and it's a shame. But the committee seems

289
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: to look more at who you lost to than who

290
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: you beat. And that's the That's the thing with the committee.

291
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: Every year, it's a different concentration, right. It seems like

292
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: the goalposts move every year on what's their priority? Is

293
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: it head to head? Is it the schedule you make?

294
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: Well?

295
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: Hell, why would you schedule hard games if it's not

296
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: gonna matter. If they're just gonna look at your losses

297
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: and not who you beat or who you played, I mean,

298
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: then then what's the use of playing tough games? It's

299
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: it's the goal post? Do seem to get moved every year, Stu.

300
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: I've been pretty anti Hunter yer check the committee chair.

301
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: But now that I'm thinking about this reveal tonight, I

302
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: can't wait to hear him talk because or not talk.

303
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: Right, not talk, I mean, God, say something, dude, I mean, goly,

304
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: don't and please don't give me another six seven joke.

305
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean, goh, I got if I got to see

306
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: that again from an eighty year old man, and that's

307
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: that's wrong.

308
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: Then someone else out there get a relief pitcher.

309
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's that was I'm pretty sure he's

310
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: not gonna do that again. From the resounding thud that got.

311
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: It's fairly amazing that the two schools, the two programs

312
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: that seem to have the most stability in college football

313
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: right now, one Ohio State the other. I can't believe

314
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying this. Fucking Indiana, Indiana.

315
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: What Kurt Signetti? And think about what Kurt Signetti did

316
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: last year his first year there. He brought in a

317
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: lot of James Madison players, right, He had a lot

318
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: of JMU transfers, and man, they played well and they're

319
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: a better team this year than they were last year.

320
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: This guy, what he has done to build Indiana up

321
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: has been nothing short of spectacular. Yes, and what a game.

322
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: Now listen, if this is a good game, a close game,

323
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: both these teams are going to get a first round

324
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: by right right, without without question. But man, I am

325
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: excited to see this game.

326
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: Mike, who do you like in the George Alabama? We'll

327
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: get to the NFL in just a second here. Who

328
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: do you like in George Alabama?

329
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, listen, during the regular season, what Alabama

330
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 2: beat them? At Georgia. So if Georgia were to win,

331
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: it's amazing because that's another argument that comes in, there's

332
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: only x amount of teams that play in conference championship games.

333
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: Do you get knocked down if you lose it? Now,

334
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: if you get smoked in the game, I can see it.

335
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: But if it's a close game, should and Alabama sitting

336
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: at ten, we'll see where they're sitting tonight. But I

337
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 2: mean eleven to twelve is a trapdoor. That's the term

338
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: I keep using. Doesn't matter. If you're eleven to twelve,

339
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: you ain't getting in. You're not getting in. That's gonna

340
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: be for two teams outside the top twelve that get

341
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: automatic bids, be it from two G five schools or

342
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: from the ACC. So it's really the top ten we're

343
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: looking at. And if Alabama is at ten tonight and

344
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: then they lose to Georgia, do they drop one spot

345
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: to where they're gonna get knocked out again? It's the

346
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: conference championship games are really tough. Again, this should be

347
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: a really good game, and if it's a close loss

348
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: for Alabama, you would think that they would be a

349
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: three loss team in the playoffs. It's gonna make everybody say, yeah,

350
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 2: we need to go to sixteen teams. Got to go

351
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: to sixteen teams. If you're gonna penalize a conference championship loser,

352
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 2: then you gotta have some extra space to keep them

353
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 2: in the playoffs.

354
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 3: I hope the Gains get in, but I have a

355
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: feeling they're not.

356
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think again, where will they be tonight?

357
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: That's gonna be the key.

358
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Yes, Mike, I feel like I was telling the guys

359
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: earlier that we're not going to take the Patriots seriously

360
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: until they're actually playing in a Super Bowl in San Francisco.

361
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: Do you feel the same way?

362
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: Is there a team and that's a shame because is

363
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: there a team that takes on the personality of their

364
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: coach more than New England and Mike Vrabel?

365
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: No.

366
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: I mean, the defense plays like Rabel would play defense.

367
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: The offense is not a big playoffense. They are methodical,

368
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: They are ball control. They have one heck of a

369
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: quarterback in Drake May who has incredible poise. We keep

370
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: talking about building more talent around him, but Stefan Diggs

371
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: has been big. Hunter Henry has been big, The running

372
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: game has been big. The defense is always tough. You're right,

373
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean, nay, and when they win, they're winning big,

374
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: Unlike Denver. I called the Denver Washington game. Denver is

375
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: just getting by. It's kind of like Kansas City last

376
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: year when they were eleven and oh or twelve and

377
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 2: oh in one score games. That's Denver this year. Denver

378
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: has a nine game winning streak going on, and in

379
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: each of those nine games, at one point in each

380
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: game they were losing and they came back to win.

381
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 2: New England is just running roughshot. The Colts have definitely

382
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: come down to peg or two to where now Jacksonville's

383
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: running that division. You're right, it's time to raise a

384
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: glass to New England and say they are getting the

385
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: job done.

386
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: Denver has won their last four games by a combined

387
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: ten points.

388
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and it's almost impossible. The defense, really,

389
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: the defense gave up more yards this week. They give

390
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: up over four hundred yards to Washington, who had a

391
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: backup quarterback in in Marcus Mariota. Yep. And that's normally

392
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: the strength of their team. But again, there's no thirteen

393
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: person committee in the pros. It's about wins and losses,

394
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: and they're pulling them out everybody's just wondering. Boy, when

395
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: you get to the playoffs and you have that bad

396
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: one and it doesn't go your way, you're done. You're

397
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 2: packing up your locker.

398
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: You ever have that moment during the holidays where you

399
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: think you've nailed the perfect gift and then realize you

400
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: definitely did not.

401
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 3: Yep, been there last year.

402
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: I bailed on a guest work it said Omaha Steaks instead,

403
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, that was the first time

404
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: my family texted me before opening the box, just to

405
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: say how excited they were. Whether you are sending an

406

409
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: looking like you planned ahead, even if you definitely did not.

410
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: I just made their filet Mignon's the other night, simple

411
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: cast iron, sere, little butter based.

412
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: And they were insanely tender. I love them.

413
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,560

431
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 4: Mike, going back to that Monday night football game, has

432
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: the Jackson Dart and Brian Dabeles storylines kind of hid

433
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 4: the fact in New York that Abdull Carter has been

434
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 4: a pretty big disappointment for them.

435
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: Well, and you wonder why did he sit the first

436
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: quarter he already. Remember he set the first series a

437
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago because he missed a walkthrough. Is

438
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: are their issues going on off the field? Yeah, Brian

439
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 2: burn we talked about that pass rush. Now Thibodeaux was

440
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: out last night with a shoulder, but we talked about

441
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: the pass rush ability. They only had twenty six sacks

442
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: going into that game and Brian Burns has thirteen of

443
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: them and seventeen tackles for losses going into the game.

444
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: They're not getting the pass rush they thought they were

445
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: going to get. And again, you could say rookie takes

446
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: time to build, so I'll give Abdul Carter a chance

447
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: for that. But if you're having off field issues and

448
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: why you're sitting in the beginning of games, that's on you. Now.

449
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: It's one thing to come into the NFL and understand

450
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: that every week you're playing top notch players and it

451
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: may take you a while. It's another thing when you're

452
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: your own worst enemy off the field and you're sitting

453
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: on the pine when the game's going on. That being said,

454
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: Jackson dart is becoming his own worst enemy. I mean,

455
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: and Brian day Ball couldn't get through to him. Mike

456
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: Kafka has had a couple of weeks with him now,

457
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: even though he hadn't played in a couple of weeks

458
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: at least to sit him down and coach him to say,

459
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: do not take unnecessary hits. He got so laid out

460
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: by Christian Ellis last night tiptoeing the sideline and being

461
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: so unaware of where the defensive person was. Kristin Ellis said,

462
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: I was running thinking he was going to step out

463
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: of and when he didn't, that's like blood in the

464
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: water for a shark. These defensive players are gonna knock

465
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: you into friggin next week, which they did, and Jackson

466
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: after the game saying I'm not gonna change the way

467
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: I play, and well, then you know what. Congratulations on

468
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: your three year career and understand the Giants are building

469
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: their team around you. The one thing you have, or

470
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: the two things you have to do is a keep

471
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 2: getting better and b be available, be able to be

472
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: on the field. And you know there's toughness and they're smarts.

473
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: You can be smart and tough without being reckless and tough.

474
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: I mean even Baker Mayfield, who will drop a shoulder

475
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: on anybody at times, plays it smart. Jackson Dark Jackson do.

476
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: That's one thing to run down the sidelines and be

477
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: aware of somebody that's gonna hit you, and at least

478
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: you can drop your shoulder and protect yourself if you're

479
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: trying to get an next to yard or two, which

480
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: in this case there was no don't need to. There's

481
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: another thing to have no awareness that you're about to

482
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: get smoked and hit horizontally into the sidelines. Mike.

483
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 5: They even said during the broadcast that when they asked

484
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 5: him about everybody talking to him about sliding, he said,

485
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 5: I'm sick of everybody talking to me about it. Like

486
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 5: his mentality is that just of I don't care what

487
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 5: happens to my body. I am going to continue to

488
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 5: play the way I do.

489
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: Again, congratulations on your short abbreviated career, because you've already

490
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: been not diagnosed, but checked for four concussions. I mean,

491
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: what the hell you think is gonna happen? He needs

492
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: to think about the team, quite honestly, more than himself.

493
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 2: And he's young. Listen, when I was at age and

494
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 2: playing ball, you think you're invincible, you think you can't

495
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: get hurt, and I get it. And he's a big,

496
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: strong kid, but there's a difference if I get hurt

497
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: and Jackson Dark gets hurt. Right, Okay, I just get replaced.

498
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart is the franchise quarterback. You don't have to

499
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: sound like you're not tough by saying, oh, I need

500
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: to be smarter. That's just smarter play. That's keeping you

501
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: on the field. It's the oldest saying in the world.

502
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: But the best ability is availability.

503
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: Mikey A he's fired up today.

504
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: We're getting closed to playoff time in college football and

505
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: the l he is fired up.

506
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: It's great. So much to talk about.

507
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: Uh, well, let's talk about your fan base in Philadelphia

508
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: because you play there for many, many years. And there

509
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: was a fan who went to the offensive coordinators house

510
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: and he egged it. What are they doing in Philadelphia?

511
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: They've been to two Super Bowls in three years? And

512
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: then the rating super Bowl jams.

513
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: That used to be an everyday occurrence on Halloween growing

514
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: up for the family that gave out race, Yeah, gave

515
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: out nothing. They got their their house toilet paper orf night. Yes,

516
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 2: uh yeah, you know. Listen, the defense, uh has has

517
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: not been a eight defense at times it has at

518
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: times it hasn't. And the offense is basically it's two predictable.

519
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: They listen, they live on the running game. They certainly

520
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: did last year. But between name me another back of

521
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: the other two thousand yard backs who went back to

522
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 2: back two thousand yards that should not have been expected, right,

523
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: and then something always happens. And the old line Lane

524
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: Johnson out between Mackay Beckton being gone, Cam Jurgen's being

525
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: nicked up, Landon Dickerson being nicked up, it's a different

526
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: old line as well. And the passing game. Listen, you

527
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: can say, well, Jalen Hurts only has what one interception

528
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 2: two interceptions, but you know a decent amount of that

529
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: is he doesn't take a chance, he doesn't wit and

530
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: throw it downfield. That the offense is actually pretty vanilla,

531
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: and it needs to be. And it could be last

532
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: year because they had a two thousand yard rusher. They

533
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: had I think the second best rushing attack in the league.

534
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: You don't have that this year. You have to take

535
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: more chances passed the ball. And for those that think

536
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: it's just magically going to be fixed, it's a different

537
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: team than last year. It's also a reason you don't

538
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 2: see a whole lot of back to back Super Bowl champs.

539
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: It's hard to do.

540
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: Taylor's told me that he has an NFC related stat

541
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: of the day that I want to get to before

542
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: we let Mike Golic Senior go here. He very fired

543
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: up Mike Golick Senior as we get closer to the

544
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: NFL playoffs and he's feeling Notre Dame. He's had his

545
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: coaches staying. But I should have put Marcus Freeman in

546
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: that category. And the Notre Dame football program they have

547
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: stability as well. They have the three programs Indiana, Indiana,

548
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Notre Dame. Anyway, Taylor staut of the Day.

549
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: Of the So it's a little stat of the day,

550
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 4: a little trivia. Of the seven teams currently in the

551
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: NFC playoff pitcher An he guesses who has the lowest

552
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 4: playoff probability.

553
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: Of the teams that are of the top seven teams

554
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: in the NFC. In the NFC, the lowest probability that

555
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: ends seven with San Francisco, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay, or

556
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: Philly it would have I would say, it can't be

557
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: the Bears.

558
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: It can't be the Packers, can it.

559
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: So there's one team currently in the top seven with

560
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 4: a playoff probability under eighty percent. It's the one seed

561
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears.

562
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: That really, wow, that is amazing. Now, the Bears do

563
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: still play the Packers twice. They play him this week,

564
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: then they play the Browns, which, oh, by the way,

565
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: is a very good defense. Yes, and then they play

566
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: the Packers again before they finished with the forty nine

567
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: ers in the line. So it is a hard finishing schedule.

568
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: And you heard Ben Johnson say, we're winning in spite

569
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: of our passing game, not because of our passing game.

570
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams has a bad completion percentage. The man still

571
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: makes some miracle plays. But Ben Johnson's right, they are

572
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: winning in spite of their passing game. And they do

573
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: have a hard end of the season road.

574
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: Yes, that's good coaching though, right, because that like resets

575
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Hey, we're not doing this because of you,

576
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: We're doing this because of me.

577
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: And on defense, yes, yeah, defense, running game absolutely, running

578
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: game's been good.

579
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: Yes.

580
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, no one believes the Bears and the Patriots are

581
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: going to play in the Super Bowl.

582
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: Nobody. I mean, there's not a single person out there except.

583
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: For Rabel and boy years ago, you Patriots were in

584
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: it every year. The Bears. Obviously, everybody thinks of the

585
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: eighty five Bears in it, and these were two proud

586
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: franchises who are are looking good. I mean right now

587
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: the playoffs run through New England. Yeah, it's amazing. And

588
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs run through Chicago, even though the Rams and

589
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: the Seahawks both have three losses as well, so that

590
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: that's a three team battle for the number one seed.

591
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: Mikey, what are you laughing at?

592
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: That?

593
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Only Rabel believes because I'm telling you there's players on

594
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots who are like, hey, we're not getting to

595
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: the super Bowl this year.

596
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 5: Rabel doesn't believe in the Bears.

597
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean, though, Sue, think about it, what

598
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: other team in the AFC should New England be afraid of?

599
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: Kansas City is not Kansas City. Kansas City, Buffalo and

600
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: Baltimore are not what they've been. Denver is playing well,

601
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: but they're barely winning even though they are winning. Is

602
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: who is their team or New England says man? This

603
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: can be a tough one.

604
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

605
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: I would say the team that they would be if

606
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: he walked into their stadium. He's not sweating playing them

607
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: in Foxborough is the Bills and Josh Allen.

608
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: That's it. That's the only team for me.

609
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, because Josh Allen. Man, he can put a

610
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: cape on when he has he can win a game

611
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: by himself. Yeah he can. He can't, all right, Mike.

612
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: God blessed football, God blessed football it is. I'm also

613
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: fired up because while it's getting close to playoff time

614
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: in both college and NFL, it's also almost over. God.

615
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: And it's just the saddest day in the world today.

616
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but then we spent six months pushing.

617
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, I know. I'm not

618
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: vitues of catches?

619
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: Are you know?

620
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:06,120
