You know, 60 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 5: that's what you do before and during the games. Well, 61 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 5: it's interesting. A report came out, a report from Donald 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 5: Trump issued at an executive order fellas Friday, and it 63 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 5: was barring college football playoff hold on of any postseason 64 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 5: games from airing during the annual Army Navy matchup that 65 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 5: takes place in December. Trump directed his Commerce Secretary and 66 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 5: the FCC chairman to coordinate with the Playoff Committee, the NCAA, 67 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 5: and media rights partners to ensure an exclusive broadcasting window 68 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 5: for a storied rivalry played on the second Saturday each December. 69 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 5: What's y'alls first take on is I know there'd be 70 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 5: a lot of you know, politics have become such a 71 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 5: big part of conversation for America, and everybody seems to 72 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 5: have something to say. This is one of those conversations 73 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 5: where I actually feel like, Okay, if we want to 74 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 5: venture off into politics and have a conversation, this would 75 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 5: be a topic to broach all that other stuff. Y'all 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 5: could have all that other stuff, and yeah, we could 77 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 5: do that other places. I ain't really into it, but 78 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 5: for this moment and for this scenario, now, let's put 79 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 5: it on the table and see. You know, how you 80 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 5: guys feel about that. Do you think that that's you know, 81 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 5: is that a good move? Is that a like? 82 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: What's your take on? 83 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: I believe it's very It's warranted, it's fair, you know, 84 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 4: especially with what's going on right now, war and war. 85 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: When you can get something like that to happen where 86 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: they're not competing with other games, people look forward to that. 87 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: If people and when I say people, if you got 88 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 4: men and women that are signing up for the military, 89 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 4: that they're basically risking their lives for the betterment of ours, 90 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: and pretty much everybody in this country. I believe that's 91 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: an honor that why not that they deserve that, They 92 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 4: deserve that to be on television competing against nobody, so 93 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 4: that as many eyes can be on them, watching them, 94 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 4: and it's more of a thank you, and so me personally, 95 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: I have no problem would it at all. I don't 96 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: see anybody that would have a problem with that, the 97 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 4: Army Navy game just being on television and no other 98 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 4: college game on at the same time, competing with them. 99 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: I believe that's what it is. And if that is 100 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 4: the case, I'm all for that. 101 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: Man, I get it. I understand, you know. I think 102 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: we all know the significance of what the Army Navy 103 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: game means to them and to everybody else. And uh, 104 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 3: you know, he wants to have this, you know, treated 105 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: as like a national service event basically, so it's gonna 106 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: be all eyes on you know, this, this one particular 107 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: football game, this particular day, almost like a super Bowl, 108 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: And uh, I don't have a problem with it all. 109 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 3: Just like TJ said, I mean, those guys deserve it. 110 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 6: Uh. 111 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: It's a fun game to watch every year if you 112 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: know the history of it and the rivalry it is 113 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: it is something to see, something to be a part of. 114 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 3: I believe this year they played in each weather for 115 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: the at Giant Stadium, and that's always a great venue. 116 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 3: But uh, listen, man, those guys deserve it. A lot 117 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: of those guys they they they play football as a 118 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 3: as a basically a hobby of what they you know, 119 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 3: they intend to do later on down the road. So hey, 120 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: I'm not opposed to it. I think it be good 121 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: for them. All eyes on those guys and they get 122 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: to showcase another part of you know, their life outside 123 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: of you know, uh, you know, planting being in the military. 124 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: So I'll be tuned in. So I'm all good with it. 125 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: I like it too. 126 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 5: I mean, I know y'all know how much of an 127 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 5: affinity I have for for the military. 128 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: Most guys don't go pro. 129 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 5: It's like several dozen in the history of these two 130 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 5: institutions they go pro. And if you understand the how 131 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 5: it all works, if you don't go pro, like if 132 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 5: there's not like an exception as to why you're not 133 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 5: serving and going in and doing what. 134 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: You need to do, you go out. 135 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 5: You go yeah, and you continue on to you get 136 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 5: you know what, there's a war going on right now. 137 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 5: Some of them guys that were in that game, uh, 138 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 5: are probably have been deployed and are are hitting over 139 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 5: there if they haven't already gone and have have gotten there. 140 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: So I just think that and unless you're in a 141 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 5: moment of time where you hear the three the three 142 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 5: letters that that you never really want to hear, which 143 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 5: is war, you never want to to to you know, 144 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 5: to be a part of of of that taking place. 145 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 5: But yet it's a necessary evil. And and having men 146 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 5: and women of service to to step up and be 147 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 5: those people that do protect our freedoms, as y'all mentioned, 148 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 5: is super critical. It's super important. But the idea that 149 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 5: they get an opportunity to play a child's game, you know, 150 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 5: they get to play a game that that we all 151 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: get to enjoy at some point, uh, to whatever capacity, 152 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: to to whatever degree that that is. 153 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: We we get an opportunity to play it. 154 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 5: And if you're able to do it at the college 155 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 5: level where you know, and they're pretty good at times. 156 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: Army has been really good lately. 157 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 5: Navy has historically been pretty good, uh with how they 158 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 5: play ball, and they're they're pretty competitive. I'm like just 159 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 5: felt in uh, they're pretty competitive when when these things, 160 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 5: you know, when they're competing. So I just for me, 161 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 5: I think this is a great honor. 162 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 4: Uh. 163 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 5: I think it's a great gesture to honor our our, our, 164 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 5: our men of service, and in a moment where you 165 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 5: actually would you know, it's just another game. I mean, 166 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 5: I don't know about you guys, but for me, when 167 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 5: I think about it, it's just another game. 168 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: So I just this my go get. I gotta change 169 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: my mic, want the break. 170 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: Uh. 171 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 5: I just think where we're at right now, to to 172 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 5: to make this game a staple of the football season 173 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 5: and not have any type of other games, any type 174 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 5: of other events sports wise, football wise, taking place during it, 175 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 5: I think it's pretty dope. 176 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 3: Man. 177 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 5: I think it's a dope gesture. And I think it's 178 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 5: great to honor those men that go out there and play. 179 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 4: I mean, and to put context into it, they're talking 180 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 4: about expanding the college football Playoff. 181 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: And so correct, if the college. 182 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 4: Football Playoff is expanded, they don't want the college football 183 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 4: Playoff competing with the Army Navy game because there will 184 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 4: be many people tuned into that college football Playoff. And 185 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 4: if you are going to start adding more teams and 186 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 4: you're gonna start playing sooner. You're not playing at this time, 187 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 4: and so it's completely fair. And I'm not like you leave. 188 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 4: I don't have any family members, at least not any 189 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 4: immediate family members that were in the military. Have My 190 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 4: uncle was in law enforcement, but outside of that, none 191 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 4: in the military. But we all know the families, what 192 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 4: they go through. We've been connected with people that have 193 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 4: been in the military, and so man, it's a it's 194 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 4: more of an appreciation to those that are really Again, 195 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 4: like I said, you're willing to risk your life for 196 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 4: the betterment of ours, and enough can't be sad about 197 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 4: that for sure. 198 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Matthew, Look just the mindset of you know, those 199 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: players waking up on that game day, knowing that you 200 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 3: know the work the whole you know, the country is 201 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: going to be watching those young men go out and 202 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: play football. I can't imagine what that does for you mentally. Uh, 203 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 3: you know, you get up for big games, but but 204 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 3: to have your own day to go out and showcase 205 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 3: your talent. Just like Lavarsity, a lot of those guys 206 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 3: aren't going to play pro football. They they're in the military. 207 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 3: So it's it's great for those you know, if it 208 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: does happen for those guys to have their own day 209 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 3: and to be excited about you know, everybody having their 210 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: eyes on them and watching them play football. Yeah. 211 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 5: Well, shots out to the decision, Shots out to our 212 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 5: naval academy and to army, our base where they go 213 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 5: to get get educated and get prepared. 214 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: You know. Yeah. 215 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 5: I'm a big time proponent, big time supporter obviously, and 216 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 5: just wanted to have that conversation because so many times 217 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 5: we have the hard conversations that people aren't really you know, 218 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 5: it's it could go one way or the other. And 219 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 5: I think that this conversation is one of those conversations that, 220 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 5: to me, I feel is a feel good story because 221 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 5: in the end, it's bigger than football. It's bigger than 222 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 5: sports when you're talking about men and women who are 223 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 5: putting their lives on the line for what we have 224 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 5: going on here in our country. So I thought it 225 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 5: was pretty dope, and well, I think another interesting conversation 226 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 5: that is worth touching on and getting into.

We'll get to that add more 237 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 5: on the other side of the break you're listening to 238 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 5: Up on game, it's t J.

So I'm not sure if I 300 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: don't even know how they would would do it. 301 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: They just order another They just order a new Journey jersey. 302 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 3: You know what.

You know what, that's one 304 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 3: hundred percent jersey on the wall though Plexus. So they 305 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: ain't gonna pull it out of the frame. And I 306 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 3: don't blame him. You know, he earned it, man, one 307 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: of the highest honors that you can ever receive as 308 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: a players to get your to have your number retired, 309 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: and that is earned. And what that man accomplishing college 310 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: I mean, let's be honest, man, he was one of 311 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 3: the greatest college football quarterbacks of all time. Man three years, 312 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 3: he only had two losses, ninety nine touchdowns in three seasons, 313 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 3: and he's one of four quarterbacks that went back to 314 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 3: back national championships. I mean, you're gonna unretire number, just 315 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 3: like he said with somebody else, when your numbers retired, 316 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: that's exactly what it means. It is retired, and you're 317 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: talking about the numbers that are the names that are 318 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 3: retired at USC. Marcus Allen o j. Simpson, Reggie Bush, 319 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 3: Uh Palma, and Caleb Williams. That's it. So he earned it. 320 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 3: And just like you said, I don't care if you 321 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 3: call him selfish. You're not wearing his number and I 322 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 3: like it. I'm with him one hundred percent because he 323 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 3: earned it. It's dead to stay hey, and I forgot 324 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: to mention it. He's a Heisman Trophy winner. I mean, 325 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 3: how many guys are going to have those kind of 326 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: accolades to pull your number down for somebody else to wear. So, Matt, 327 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: I'm with you. 328 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: I tend to agree. 329 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 5: Actually, if your jersey gets retired, it should most likely 330 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 5: it should stay retired because there's I tend to believe 331 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 5: that when you do that, when you when you take 332 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 5: that that step, you did that knowing so that it 333 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 5: was a moment of finality when it took place. Right, 334 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 5: will we all agree on that, like that's a finale, 335 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 5: like this number shall never be warned again. Now, I 336 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 5: may the argument points for Abdul to be able to 337 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 5: wear eleven or to wear fifty six. He wanted to 338 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 5: obviously keep up with wearing eleven, and for what it 339 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 5: was worth, he wanted to wear fifty six, and he 340 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 5: made his claim, and while whether I. 341 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: Agreed or not, I stood up for him. I stood 342 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: up for him. 343 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 5: But certainly I do believe that there is a feeling 344 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 5: of finality that is connected to a retirement of a jersey. 345 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 5: And he mentioned my name, which is It's interesting because 346 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 5: I'm you know, what I've done with my number in 347 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 5: college is the total antithesis of that. But interestingly enough, 348 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 5: people don't even know that I was the one doing it, 349 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like the school wasn't informing me. 350 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 5: You know, there's no there's no official conversations about who's 351 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 5: gonna wear eleven, you know what I mean, Like it 352 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 5: was something It all started when I tell the stories 353 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 5: funny because the Navarro was just on. He just went 354 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 5: viral for saying he's the best linebacker coming out of 355 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 5: Penn State. It all started when I wanted Navarro to 356 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 5: wear eleven. You know, he was going through some some 357 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 5: life changes, some real you know, just just critical moments 358 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 5: in his life and he just needed a reset and 359 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 5: a reboot. 360 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 2: It wasn't anything else other than that. 361 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 5: And when he did the reset and he did the reboot, 362 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 5: I told him, don't stop with the inside that you've changed, 363 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 5: and that you've addressed and in the direction you know, 364 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 5: the things that you've had to deal with. And and 365 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 5: Navar wasn't a bad person at all. Actually it's not 366 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 5: even about him being bad. It was just him getting 367 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 5: through you know, tragic situations. And then there was an 368 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 5: unfortunate situation that took place where you know, they got 369 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 5: to fight or whatever. But I told him to clean 370 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 5: up his to totally do a reboot and clean it 371 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 5: all up. 372 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 2: Wear my number. 373 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 5: I built up a lot of good good uh you know, 374 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 5: good good will at the school. 375 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 2: The community trusts me. 376 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 5: Wear my number, and I'm gonna endorse you like he's 377 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 5: wearing eleven because he has. He has really tightened up. 378 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 5: He's on the straight and narrow, and he's ready to 379 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 5: be a LB for LBU. That was how the whole 380 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 5: eleven thing started. Right then after that, Brandon bell Ward, 381 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 5: well Kyrie fort Ward as well. We don't talk about 382 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 5: him because he transferred, which is interesting, but that just 383 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 5: shows you how much power I really have over my number. 384 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 5: And offensive guys wear eleven. There's there's usually a receiver 385 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 5: that wears eleven every single year at Penn State. So 386 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 5: when when people were trying to make the comparison. I 387 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 5: didn't see. I really don't see the comparison in it. 388 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 5: I'm a brand builder, and I'm like, if you want to, 389 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 5: you know, I've tried to get guys to go to 390 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 5: Penn State for years and one of the ways I 391 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 5: get one of the most elite line guys that play 392 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 5: that position to go there is I'll be like, you 393 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 5: should come to Penn State and wear eleven. So what 394 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 5: I did with Michael Parsons is what I did with 395 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 5: Abdul Carter. You should come to Penn State and wear eleven. 396 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 5: So what I did the LeVar Arrington right, like, go 397 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 5: to Penn State and we're number eleven. 398 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 2: And so to me, when. 399 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 5: You look at the legacies that are connected, it's like 400 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 5: it's my number was never retired. I think I would 401 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 5: feel some type of way if you retired my number. 402 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 5: But a five star recruit says I'm not coming to 403 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 5: Penn State unless y'all retire eleven and I can wear 404 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 5: eleven when I play there, and they do it, I 405 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 5: think I would be terribly offended by that. I really would. 406 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 5: In fact, while we're at it, I kind of at 407 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 5: this point I would be terribly offended if if they 408 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 5: put eleven on somebody on the defensive side of the 409 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 5: ball and didn't get my blessing for them to wear 410 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 5: to wear the number because of what I've done to 411 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 5: build up Here we go my number. That's my number. 412 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 5: Everybody else who wore it, they they they borrowed it. 413 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: Sorry, I look at it, look at it a little different, 414 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 4: and I figure you two would look at it that 415 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 4: way just because of where y'all were drafted, how you 416 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: guys came into high school. For me, I see where 417 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 4: y'all are coming from. And I actually see where Matt 418 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 4: Leiner is coming from, especially in today's age. What he 419 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 4: said makes a hunt. This dude may end up coming 420 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 4: here and retire my number and leaving, And so I 421 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 4: do get that part of it. In the National Football League, 422 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 4: it should be absolutely no, no, no, that that that's 423 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 4: something that's permanent. When you're not even hear your kids, 424 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 4: your grandkids, they could always see your name being retired 425 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 4: in that stadium, in your jersey being retired in that stadium, 426 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 4: And that's a great thing that you earned. Now For me, 427 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 4: if I'm if a kid wanted to wear my number, 428 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 4: I'd be like yeah, fine, it's cool, you'll tp recruit. 429 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 3: Cool if you leave, you leave.

Carson let Addison where Carson 431 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 4: is the best quarterback to come through USC, and he 432 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 4: let Jordan Addison wear. Jordan Addison obviously leaves Pitt goes 433 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 4: to us and he wants to wear three. Carson was like, yeah, 434 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 4: no problem, nobody has worn it sense, But he did 435 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 4: do it for Addison, So it's not like, oh, every 436 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 4: year somebody comes in my number and they want my number. 437 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 4: That's what it's gonna be.

That's 440 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 4: what I would do.

But the conversation about this 661 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 5: was was basically wrapped into risk versus reward. Do you 662 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 5: guys see there being a drawback to sports betting becoming 663 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 5: so legalized and so normalized with what's going on in 664 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 5: sports today, or do you just see it as it's 665 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 5: a progression. They've they've found a way to tax it. 666 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 5: That's why I brought you know, like some people will 667 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 5: say the same exact things about we right, so it 668 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 5: is it's I'm just curious, are the drawbacks to what 669 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 5: sports betting represents on the legal market, or do they 670 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 5: outweigh the positives or do you see it as the 671 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 5: positives outweigh the risk factors. 672 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 3: For the players. 673 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously the positive outweighs the risk factor because 674 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 4: the salaries are the money's going up much much greater 675 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 4: than when we played, and it's not as if we 676 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 4: just retired thirty years ago. The gamble of money isn't 677 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 4: abled the players to make so much more money. Are 678 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 4: there going to be cases where certain players do idiotic 679 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,359 Speaker 4: things and jeopardize their career? Absolutely, that's on them. They're 680 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 4: the dumb ones, and so have no sympathy for them. 681 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 4: I really don't. And so as long as you're informed, 682 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 4: and I can just speak for the National Football League, 683 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 4: they do a hell of a job with educating players 684 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 4: almost overboard with the education of do not better in 685 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 4: NFL games, do not gamble. You can't even going to 686 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 4: sportsbook during the season. 687 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 3: You can't. 688 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 4: You can't do this, you can't. They everything is black 689 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 4: and white. There's no gray area with that. And so 690 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 4: for the players and the guys that are playing, I 691 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,959 Speaker 4: believe it's a great thing because you make more money 692 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 4: because of it. Now there will be instances, Like I said, 693 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 4: where what happened in the NBA with John tay Porter. 694 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 4: He's been banned permanently. He made a bad decision. Now 695 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,240 Speaker 4: he got to live with the consequences of the decision 696 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 4: he made. But for the most part, man, guys are 697 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 4: gonna do what they need to do. Guys ain't gonna 698 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 4: jeopardize their career. And when you have the outliers that do, 699 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 4: they get put out. 700 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 3: So when you say it allows the kids to make 701 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 3: more money, so you're you're implying that the betting community 702 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 3: is basically paying the the nil. 703 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 4: No, no, I know. In the NFL, like gambling now, 704 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 4: they get paid. They get paid for that, they get 705 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 4: money through that. The players they get a percent of 706 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 4: money because of that. All you gotta do is look 707 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 4: it up. 708 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 5: It's taking the revenues of Yeah, they it's definitely taking 709 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 5: the revenues. And that's probably. 710 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 4: Because you got you got gambling companies that have done 711 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 4: deals with the NFL and the team, and so they 712 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 4: promote that and so the players get a percent of that. 713 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 2: It's going into them salaries for certain I mean the numbers. 714 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 3: But but where exactly is all the money going to 715 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 3: is what is what. 716 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 4: You know ownership is the NFL is taking the majority 717 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 4: of it, but the players do get a piece of that. 718 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 5: And so I mean, it's interesting we're talking about the 719 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 5: players because I started thinking about the risk. 720 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 4: Of the people plex what was your last year in 721 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 4: the league. When was your last year in the league? 722 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 4: Twenty I'm gonna guess and say the highs paid receiver 723 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 4: twenty thirteen was probably making thirteen fourteen million a year. 724 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 4: HIGHS paid player now is making forty receiver that's in 725 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 4: that's doubled in thirteen years, like almost almost triple, right, 726 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 4: And so that's a part of it. 727 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 2: It'd be interesting, man. Sports betting is big. 728 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 5: I think it has made the game so much more 729 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 5: relevant because it's connected to so many different things. Back 730 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 5: in the day, it was grabbed them pink slips or 731 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 5: the blue slip. You run it over here, you get 732 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 5: that boom boom boom. Next thing you know, you make 733 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 5: sure you get it, or you pay it, or somebody 734 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 5: knocking at your door. That's how it used to be. 735 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 5: Now it's like all on the up and up seemingly, 736 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 5: and it's growing. So it'll be interesting to see as 737 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 5: this continues to move forward, what direction it goes in. 738 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 2: This is up on game hour two. Is coming at 739 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 2: you in a matter of moments.
