Speaker 1: That made everybody happy, Right, the Cowboys didn't get Dak

Speaker 1: I I know I get that that she's not happy. No, no,

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: I understand that. No, I get that. Well, they won,

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: they lost.

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: They came back from Brazil losers. I mean they did

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: have a new restaurant open.

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might have.

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: You might have seen that. Maybe not, Maybe he was

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: in a state of uphoria. Get out to Brazil to

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: where he doesn't have memory of such.

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure, Fred, Look when I here's how dialed in

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: Fromburg was right Frostburg, who produces the Chargers radio broadcast.

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Uh is, I said, how is Brazil? And I'm expecting, okay,

41
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: killer spiders, topless beaches something whatever. Yeah, that it was

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: as I'm expecting something, right, Price the Redeemer, you know what,

43
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: whatever it was? And he says, we beat the chiefs.

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: What more could I ask for?

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: Well, he had a couple of exploitives in there. Yeah,

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 3: what's certain things? I can't say that's all he gears,

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: that's all he gas. I mean he really went down

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: to brass tacks. In other words, we're not telling you

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: anything else. For all you know, he just went into

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: a broadcast booth, did his job.

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: And came home. Yeah, well it's nothing to see. Here's Frostburg.

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: It's a business trip, business trip, business trip.

53
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: To get the full magic wand flashy thing, the neuralizer

54
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: from men in Black on you business trip.

55
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: Now, I do have to tell you this justin. And

56
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna be upset, but you're gonna find

57
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: out eventually. So I figured I'll Scott's coming in.

58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: Wait for it.

59
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: It's another no hitter and here comes Blake Trenton. No,

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you is last week when

61
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: we made our AFC and NFC Championship game picks, I

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: picked the AFC Championship Chargers Broncos, just so you know

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: that was my as title that was back. Well, the

64
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Chargers have to play somebody, don't they. I mean Chargers Broncos.

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry both. I I talked about it last week.

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: These teams are now made in both these coaches images.

67
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: They are gonna be tough outs. No one's gonna want

68
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: to play them. They're solid everywhere they showed that Week one.

69
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: So I went try No. I don't think I may

70
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: be cursing the Chargers a little bit here, but I

71
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: want you to know I went charged. You have no

72
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: say anymore? What do you mean I have no say anymore?

73
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Here?

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: It's out of your hands, out.

75
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: Of the will. But I don't want to be in

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: the will. Well you're out, but I don't want to be.

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: He just excized you, just like that. Chargers down to

78
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: ten to one. They were fourteen to one before the

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: Week one game, Denver sitting at twelve to one. They

80
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: were at thirteen to one.

81
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: So they must have beat the Chiefs. Well, I think

82
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: moving up beating the Chiefs the big deal. I think

83
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: the Bronco was only moved up by one because well,

84
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: probably should have beat the Titans. But the Chiefs really lost.

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: You know, Titans plus eight and a half cashed. Yeah,

86
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: that's just lost. That's true. Chiefs did lose.

87
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: And if Calvin Ridley had caught that ball, Chiefs did lose.

88
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: Everything we said about the Chiefs, speaking of who want

89
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: to say being right? I said Stock up on Mahomes,

90
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: stock down on the Chiefs. Be a big year offensively

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: for a home for Mahomes, but a really tough year

92
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: for the Chiefs to try to win games in that

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: loaded division. And that's what we saw well. Once Travis

94
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: Kelsey broke his colleague there, Xavier Worthy. Yeah, and then

95
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: the video started circulating. Remember when Taylor Swift was on

96
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: their podcast and talked about how much she liked when

97
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: they drafted Xavier Worthy and suddenly there was the split

98
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: screen with Travis Kelcey taking him out as if it was, Hey,

99
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: you're starting to like him a little too much.

100
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy, you are not invited to the wedding. But

101
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: between between Rashi Rice.

102
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 3: Being unavailable and now Worthy being hurt, did they bring

103
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill back? I mean he he's got some other

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: off field issues now that have and allegations, but just

105
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: going straight on the field, it looks like everybody they're

106
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: breaking You're gonna break up the band there in Miami.

107
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: We said this yesterday Miami that that's the worst Week

108
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: one loss was the Miami Dolphins because they look like

109
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: they're done and have tuned out Mike McDaniel. They didn't

110
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: look like they were ready to play. They get beat

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: really bad by a team that, hey, well I like

112
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: the Colts. We'll have more on them coming up, but

113
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: not to that extent where they were non competitive to

114
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: the point where McDaniel's gonna get fired this season Tyreek

115
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: Hill as long as depending on what his his legal

116
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: situation is now that with the domestic violence allegations from today,

117
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna get dealt. He's already pouting on the sideline

118
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: and upset. He wants out. And I guarantee you this

119
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: is too is last year there too, because a new

120
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: regime's gonna come in. They even though they paid him,

121
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: they still have never given him the hug that you're

122
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback we're building behind, and somebody else is

123
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: gonna be okay with him saying, hey, it's better than

124
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: what we have right now. And two has shown that

125
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: he can flat She's done it in the past. He's

126
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: had big years. For some reason, the Dolphins just don't

127
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: like him. We don't know why. But maybe he's gonna

128
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: be even better in our system. It's tough to get

129
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. So yeah, it's gonna be a complete

130
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: blow up. And all three of those guys are gonna

131
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: be gone after this year.

132
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, potential for chaos ness is there. I mean, we

133
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: go back to when it was rumored that Brian Robinson

134
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: was going to be dealt. One of the names was Miami,

135
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: and then as soon as he ended up in San

136
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: Francisco's like, yeah, they just decided they're not even gonna

137
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: bother adding more assets because right eight Chan was injured.

138
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: Now he played in Week one, did score a touchdown

139
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: on a receiving touchdown, but limited in the run game

140
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: as we watched again, and no show effort from the

141
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: Dolphins overall, but the fact that they didn't make the

142
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: trade for Robinson when that seemed like the most obvious

143
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: thing with the rumors that a Chan might miss the

144
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: opener and maybe weeks two and three to go with it. Again,

145
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: he played but was limited, but they don't make that move.

146
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: So it's like, what exactly is going on in the

147
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: larger scope.

148
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: So to that story that I talked about where I

149
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: can make everybody happy, you're making people happy of this, Okay,

150
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: putting aside that big horrendous loss on Saturday to South Korea,

151
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: US men's national team tonight beat Japan and a friendly. Okay,

152
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Polistic had a big game, looked really good. He grated

153
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: out the highest of all American players. And now I

154
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: think Marisio Pochatina can breathe easier a little bit. They

155
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: had a pretty good effort tonight. And the thing the

156
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: takeaway for this is there's a lot of controversy about

157
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: this roster because it's a lot of MLS players. It's

158
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: not all the great players that are playing throughout the world,

159
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: but Polisic is here and so is a couple of others,

160
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: and there's been a lot of look, a lot of

161
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: talk with Polistic backing out not playing this summer in

162
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: the Gold Cup, and it's just been a mess. I'll

163
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: be the first person to tell you I am under

164
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: no illusions of what's going to happen in the World

165
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 1: Cup next year, even though we're no illusions that suddenly

166
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: we're getting a golden era in US soccer. They are

167
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: starting over again. Now that being said, you can scheme

168
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: up pretty well to do well enough in the World

169
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: Cup where maybe we get a four to twoit of straw,

170
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: we make it out and into the knockout round. Like

171
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: that's that's where I think that's the ceiling for the

172
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: United States because if people buy into Poachattino, and really

173
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: it's his program now because clearly you see the decisions

174
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: that he is making. I'm taking MLS players. I'm taking

175
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: these guys. There is a way to build, right, and

176
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: we haven't had that. We haven't had a system, we

177
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 1: haven't had a way. Hey, this is how we're gonna play.

178
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: So it is his, for better or for worse. This

179
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: is his baby now for the next eighteen months. And

180
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I am more than okay

181
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: if he wants to take if he wants to take

182
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: all MLS players, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with

183
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: taking MLS guys rather than pulling people from different parts

184
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: because as you see, we've had these guys the last

185
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: few World Cups last year qualify and we can't play together.

186
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: So if you're playing with some of the best players

187
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: but they can't buy into what's going on, does it

188
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: really work to have them? Now you have MLS players

189
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: coming in and not that suddenly, oh you're bringing MLS

190
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: guys in and they're going to be better. But these

191
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: players will come in they are more likely to buy

192
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: into what Pochatino is doing. And it also energizes the

193
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: United States program where players maybe stay in the MLS

194
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: instead of going overseas to play because hey, I want

195
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: to play in the World Cup. I want to get

196
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: chosen for the Olympic team, and I want and if

197
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: I play in the MLS, have a better chance to

198
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: do it. You have a chance now to really grassroots

199
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: build the program. If you say, hey, the MLS guys

200
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: are going to be our World Cup guys, right. It

201
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: juices up the fans because now you're seeing players that

202
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: we've that all soccer fans have been watching for the

203
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: last however long in MLS and and they're coming back

204
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: to play. That makes the MLS better, that it makes

205
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: the excitement level for the fans better. And it really

206
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: helps build a program that gives it an identity, because

207
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: that's been the problem for the United States soccer for

208
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: so long as the men's there's been no identity. We've

209
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: not been able to capitalize on the Land and Donovan

210
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: Algeria twenty eleven Men's World Cup. It's been a bunch

211
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: of well, maybe it's cleansman that didn't work. It's not.

212
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: It's here's the next young era of US soccer. And

213
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: you know what, Polistic's been around now for almost a decade.

214
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: It's been a long time for some of these guys,

215
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: and we're still no closer to breaking through in the

216
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: World Cup. So if we're not gonna win, let's do

217
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: it this way and build soccer in the United States

218
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: the way they should have been and taking MLS guys

219
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: taking a that would be a huge step towards doing that.

220
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: You guys still want the best of the best, and uh,

221
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: you know, Poachtino needs to recognize that he can't dictate

222
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: how coverage works. If you play poorly, you're gonna be

223
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: written about poorly. You're gonna be asked difficult questions. And

224
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 3: we've walked watched it from an organization. You and I

225
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 3: have been doing this together long enough that we've watched

226
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: what was supposed to be the beginning of that golden

227
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: era and go back to Altador and all those guys

228
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 3: that were breaking through. Look at it, he's gonna be

229
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: a champion if we know, and policy captain America. Maybe

230
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: not all the way through. We've had strikers, We've had

231
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 3: rate would be run ups, and it's faltered each and

232
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: every time and every the only constant has been the

233
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: coach has complained about the coverage of the team, almost like, okay,

234
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: because you're writing bad things. These guys aren't going to

235
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: come play for us. Come on, you're kidding yourself, right,

236
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: And the MLS I like it. That the theoretical of

237
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: you know, trying to build it and sell, and maybe

238
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: you build more to the MLS, but let's face it,

239
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: guys are still going to go overseas and cash their checks.

240
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: So unless you can prove that it's it's going to

241
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: help their bottom line, you're still gonna lose those players

242
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: which might have been your best players. So now we're

243
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: talking about maybe fielding.

244
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: A B team.

245
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: But the thing is it doesn't need to be a

246
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 3: hard and fast rule. It doesn't need to be. It's

247
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: got to be.

248
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: But if you want to take the majority of players

249
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: from MLS and of course take polistic in a CA, okay,

250
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: maybe that's better because then suddenly the scheme up you're

251
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: making gets an easier buying, gets players who are familiar

252
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: with each other already because they played with or again

253
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: them over the course of the season, and then yeah, okay,

254
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: you drop in policy, you drop in a couple of

255
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: other players. Now I'm I'm okay with it. Doesn't need

256
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: to be Hey, you play in the MLS or you

257
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: don't play for the World Cup, but you want to

258
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: take the majority of MLS players. I think that that

259
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: sends the message of this is the way we're building

260
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: in the United States, and I think I think that

261
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: would I think that would work. That's good.

262
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: Just don't make everybody your enemy, because you're not gonna

263
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: have efforts like this where you dominate a squad that

264
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: often right where your goalie for Japan has to make

265
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: nine saves to keep it to keep it close, so

266
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 3: it's only a two Niel loss. Right, you don't have

267
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: these dominant efforts where you can get chesty too off,

268
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: which is what he's been kind of laying the law down,

269
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: like this is how I want.

270
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: It to be.

271
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: It's like, no, no, no, your team hasn't been very good,

272
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: and maybe you could build to that, but I can't

273
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: think that you're gonna get many efforts like this where

274
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: you can get to walk to the podium strada good

275
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: look at us and look like.

276
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: If I but if I thought bring all the best

277
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: players in would give us a chance to win. Okay,

278
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: but clearly we've had this for the past few years

279
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: and we don't get the buy in, and the players

280
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: don't look like they're motivated enough. They look like they

281
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: play well the first fifteen minutes of a game, and

282
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: then it's like, okay, we're going to try to hold

283
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: on and we get wide swats where it doesn't look

284
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: like they're on the same page. So yeah, I don't

285
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: know that, but.

286
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: That's also been the park the bus style that we've

287
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,000

325
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: of seconds ago how I feel about the Long Walk? Yes,

326
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: because I saw the trailer.

327
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think he was trying to say he knows

328
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: you don't like running, so he was gonna ask you

329
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: about walking the long walk?

330
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Isn't that what they call it? Jets for a quarter?

331
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: It is.

332
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: It is a long, arduous journey, no question about it.

333
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 3: It's a lot. It's been a long walk off a

334
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: short pier for many years with the.

335
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers leaving after the Achilles injury. A long walk.

336
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah for snaps.

337
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

338
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: You know, I will say this, the Jets offense look

339
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: pretty good. Uh, the long Walk. More people would watch

340
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: that than football. I think, Well, well, because you know

341
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Explain to Millenno's the storyline the Long Walk.

342
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: This new movie coment based on a Stephen King book

343
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: that he wrote like in the nineteen seventies. One of

344
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: his nine thousand books is a dystopian like one of

345
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: the first ever great dystopian books like it's it's about

346
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: this event called the Long Walk where these kids somehow

347
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: sign up. I'm not gonna give you too many details

348
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: on it. They sign up to do this walk and

349
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: the person left standing at the end wins, and wins

350
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: great big prize. So he's got a fundraiser for their

351
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: it's a fun vocal. Yeah, the local boy Scouts. They

352
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: visit all the school gymnasiums. There's a bake sale, oister.

353
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

354
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Once you start walking, you can't stop. If you pause,

355
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: you get warned, and if you don't keep walking, they

356
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: kill you. Right, that's the that's the plot. Quickly, So

357
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing is these kids will get it, knowing

358
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: full well there's only gonna be one person who's gonna win.

359
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: So it's this whole big it's on island. It's like

360
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: Hunger Games. It's like it and I wouldn't be surprised.

361
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: And I don't know this if Susan Collins got a

362
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: little bit of Hunger Games from this thing where here's

363
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: all these people who entered this thing and it's and

364
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: it takes place in a world like you know, thirty

365
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: forty years in the future, where this is the biggest

366
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: visual sporting event in the world. More people watch this

367
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, they watched The Long Walk and

368
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: See and You bet on it and everything else. So

369
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: it's very similar to Hunger Games. But I can't wait.

370
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: The trailer looks awesome, the actors in it look awesome.

371
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: It's got a great vibe from the movie. That's like

372
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: my next one. I can't wait to go see. It

373
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: comes out this weekend. So excited to see Weapons. I

374
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: was so excited to see it. I liked it so much.

375
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, some of the other ones out, No,

377
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 3: I went back and watched it a second time and

378
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: recognized it for the comedy it was.

379
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: There was a lot of comedy in it. I'll tell

380
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: you weapons, Yeah, oh, and a lot of it.

381
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 3: I don't even know it was intended to And I

382
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: certainly laughed my ass on the end. Well that was fine,

383
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: I mean, my god, that's that was the perfect They

384
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 3: wanted you to feel it, to feel afraid and full

385
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 3: of anxiety and also laughing at the same time, like

386
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: that's really that's a tough thing to pull off.

387
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: And they pulled that off. Man.

388
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: That was really something, man, I like weapons. There were

389
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 3: a couple of points where they lost me. I don't

390
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: need to be hit over the head with them. It

391
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: wasn't a perfect movie. It wasn't perfect Which ones. Oh well,

392
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: I mean we still have to let let folks watch

393
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 3: it some more.

394
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Harmon got hit over the head a couple

395
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: of times. You can't recall. Oh that's a good point. Yeah,

396
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: it's like I don't remember what happened. You know, I

397
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: really thought earlier in my life that amnesia would be

398
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: something that affected me. Well, quicksand Yeah, quicksand was a

399
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: big one too, But amnesia, quicksand those things, yeah it was.

400
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: That's gonna come. It's gonna get really go the Remuta triangle.

401
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they really got all things growing up I

402
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: was afraid of. That's gonna get me. Man, amnesia is

403
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I'm not gonna remember anything.

404
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: I mean, there are a lot of things.

405
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: As I've gotten older, maybe I just don't care anymore

406
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: about those things like I used to really worry about,

407
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: you know, compartmentalizing and facts and figures with all this

408
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: stuff like you had to do for school, right, quicksand

409
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: so much don't but you have to memorize all sorts

410
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 3: of of these data points.

411
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: And then well, now I've got the interwebs, like I.

412
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 3: Don't force my brain to remember, you know, the sequencing

413
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: of all the national champions going back to the sixties,

414
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: like maybe I did at one point.

415
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: Now I don't care. Yeah that's I can look it up. Yeah,

416
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: I know you can. But it's fun too, Like I

417
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: could go back really far Heisman trophy wise and that that,

418
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: and that's fun. I'd go back with Best Picture winners

419
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: and Oscars pretty far, Like it's fun to know that

420
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: I didn't want to time. Yeah, I miss a couple

421
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: more here, like I got I got more room in

422
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: my head now because I have a mortgage, and I

423
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: have a family, and I have you know, I have

424
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: much more stuff to worry about with the long Walk.

425
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta worry that that's coming to a

426
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: theater and to your life near you.

427
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: Where the Cowboys season is a long walk. And what

428
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: happens is they stop walking, I stop paying them. So

429
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: in the you have the you know they shoot the

430
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: people like that, But I get that, but here's what

431
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: it is. In this one. I didn't have to pay anymore.

432
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: They do it like sugar ribbins. However they want to

433
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: do it, they could do it. But like if Dak

434
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: stops walking, I get out of that contract and I

435
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: can go get somebody else. We could tank for the

436
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: Manning kid. So that's gonna work pretty well. And now, uh,

437
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, try to work for Mica a little bit.

438
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: He decided I want to stop walking. I said, well,

439
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pay you, and he walked to

440
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay. So, uh, that was that. That didn't work

441
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: out in our direction at all. So college football today

442
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: a really unbelievable story coming out of the latest college

443
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: football pole. There was not over the top of the

444
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: pole because the look the new pole came out today

445
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: and the top three teams remain unchanged from last week.

446
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: You had, uh, you know, Texas still sitting at number seven,

447
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: Georgia dropped down a couple of spots, Miami is fifth,

448
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: so it's everything is the same, but there is a

449
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: big deal because of the vote by AP voter Hailey

450
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: Sawyer of the SoCal Newsgroup. She had a ballot come

451
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: out that somehow had Florida moving up two spots while

452
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: keeping South Florida unranked. The problem is South Florida beat

453
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Florida last week, and somehow, despite the fact that Florida

454
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: lost to South Florida, she moved the Gators up two

455
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: spots and still has South Florida unranked. Okay, well, that's

456
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: kind of weird. She also had a little bit of

457
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: shenanigans with Auburn being being low on her pole. But

458
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: this gained a lot of attention today and it was

459
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: you know it. Look, it's it's every it's every polster,

460
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: it's every pole that is run. It's their worst nightmare

461
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: where it looks like people who vote for something important

462
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: can't be bothered to fill out their poll to the

463
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: best of their ability.

464
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: Right.

465
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's under any illusion that that everybody

466
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: lives with their votes. There's some people who do, which

467
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: is awesome because you're supposed to if you're an AP voter,

468
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: if you're a Heisman Trophy voter, if you vote for

469
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: MVP Rookie of the Year, really if you vote first

470
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: Team All NBA, because that's like tens of dollars.

471
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: But that's it, which is why that's a dopey thing

472
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: in the CBA. Really, perhaps of all the examples, and

473
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 3: we talk about cbas a little more because I'm a

474
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: nerd with the business side of all of this, Like

475
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: that may be the dopiest concession that anybody's ever made.

476
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: You know what, the voting here is going to decide

477
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: whether you get the supermanch Wait a minute, that guy

478
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 3: didn't vote for me and he costs me fifty million dollars.

479
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: What's that reporter's name? And can I what's their venmo?

480
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: I just want to know so I can make sure.

481
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: I just make sure I got their venmo just the

482
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: case I need to reason.

483
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: But to the point, we've got three guys that we

484
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: talk with and work with around these parts. Jason Cole

485
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: who joins us every year every week. He's Pro Football

486
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame voter. We've got Rob Parker and his

487
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball the Baseball Hall of Fame. And then

488
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: we've got Steve Hartman. You mentioned your Heisman love. He

489
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: goes all the way to where he can name the

490
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: fifth you know, the I fifted voting going back fifty years.

491
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 3: But the three of them, like you talk about one

492
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: of the most sacred things in your life. It's on

493
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: the metal stand, right because it is a big deal.

494
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: So to have her be pretty flippant about this, and

495
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 3: again under no illusions that you're gonna be able to

496
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 3: watch every game. We understand that. But to kind of,

497
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 3: you know, take it to the absurd level as she did,

498
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: has a lot of people in sense what she did

499
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: was bad.

500
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: Enough because clearly she didn't look at the results the

501
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: night before, and she even said that, you know, when

502
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: you cover a game, a cover game late at night.

503
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: Next time, wait, you know, getting up to do my polls.

504
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: Like clearly, okay, I didn't look and see. I didn't

505
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: look and see what happened to Florida or South Florida.

506
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: Because how do you not I mean, it's easy, even

507
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: people that they're watching college football for a week. No,

508
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: while I take Florida out of the top twenty five,

509
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: I moved South Florida up, like that's what I hoped.

510
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: But everybody came back to the question. Gil Brandt used

511
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: to ask you, do you have a system? Do you

512
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: have a system? Do you have a system?

513
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: Do you have a system? Not that everybody's a sister

514
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: system system, So sister at least none that I know about.

515
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, wait no that yeah, no, So Wow, that

516
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: is so Dad. You got a question wall, so it'd

517
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: be bad enough, right, it's a bad enough But we

518
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: get these once in a while where people don't vote

519
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: and you see that they don't take the care with

520
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: voting that they should. That's embarrassing. But then Haley Sawyer

521
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: decided to go on social media and make a bad

522
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: situation worse to the point where I can't believe she's

523
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: gonna still have an ap vote tomorrow after how she

524
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: explained herself on social media earlier today. Here's Haley Sawyer

525
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 1: talking about why she voted Florida up to spots even

526
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: though they lost to South Florida last week. Listen to

527
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: Haley Sawyer as.

528
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 5: Far as what my votes are and what my process is.

529
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 5: You know, I wake up early in the morning after

530
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 5: covering a game late in the night before.

531
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: Don't want to go too.

532
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 5: Much into my progress or process or logic, but I

533
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 5: will say I appreciate everybody's interaction on social media.

534
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so stop it right there for a second. So

535
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: so far, okay, right, she it's kind of I'm watching

536
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: this going okay, she's kind of doing with a wink, going, Hey,

537
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: it was out late covering my game probably usc right,

538
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: and because there's a lot of touchdowns that cover there's

539
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: like fourteen different players.

540
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that meant by halftime you should have been

541
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: looking up the rest of the day's slater that game.

542
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: But she's sort of the winking and nod, like, hey,

543
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: working late at night doing the poll the next day.

544
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: Not that it's an excuse, but just letting you know,

545
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: this is what happened, right, This is kind of where

546
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: it is. And I appreciate everybody you know, weighing in

547
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: on this and all the attention I'm getting. So okay,

548
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: it's fine. But then here's where she gets to a

549
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: point where I'm pretty sure she's gonna lose her vote.

550
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: Let's pick it back up and I'll of your feedback.

551
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 5: You know, there's tons of people that vote on the

552
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 5: EP pole and like it's not a perfect system, but

553
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, like no matter who

554
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 5: you pick, it does even out because there's so many

555
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 5: people who vote. And guy said, it's really fun for discussion.

556
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 5: It doesn't you know, probably matter in the end, but

557
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 5: I'm glad that people are having a really good time.

558
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: With Your vote doesn't matter, that's when you vote. It

559
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because it evens out, so it really doesn't matter.

560
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: So she went not once but twice in that explanation that, yeah, look,

561
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: your vote doesn't really matter. You vote here, it doesn't matter.

562
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: It's like great. People get frustrated when we vote for elections.

563
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: When you live in a Democratic state and you're Republican,

564
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: or you live in a Republican state you're a Democrat,

565
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: he said, I'm voting. Oh yeah, your vote doesn't matter.

566
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: You're not winning the state. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

567
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: People get really upset about that. And now you have

568
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: Haley Sawyer telling the world that, yeah, this doesn't matter

569
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: right now. Honestly, the AP pole is fun to talk about.

570
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: It's fun because it gives you a gauge of where

571
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: the teams are, where they're ranked about. But we get

572
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff poll that comes up early in October,

573
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: and we pay attention to that, and it's pretty easy

574
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: to see, I could do the right when you get

575
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: to the end of the year. Where are the teams

576
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: to have one or two losses, what's their strength to schedule?

577
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: Who did they beat? Who did they not? Right, It's

578
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: pretty easy to do. So I get the whole thing

579
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: that you know, Hey, this is more an exercise. We're

580
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: just keeping in form. It's something fun to talk about.

581
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: But when you go out there and say your vote

582
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, that what the vote, the vote for this

583
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: thing doesn't matter. This is an industry, man. This is

584
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: not just college football AP votes. You have the AP pole,

585
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: which which mean a lot to a lot of people.

586
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: People like voting in this. You have you have the

587
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: coaches vote again, you have the Heisman Trophy vote, you

588
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: have a So what what she's saying is that, yeah, look,

589
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: there's so many votes these things. It doesn't matter, does

590
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: it evens? It doesn't matter that I voted Florida where

591
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: it is. It makes no difference because did too many

592
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: people vote? And it really doesn't matter. To go down

593
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: that road of your vote doesn't matter. I would be

594
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: surprised if she still had to vote tomorrow, because this

595
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: is so embarrassing for the Associated Press and polls in

596
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: general to say that, yeah, here's someone who votes saying yeah,

597
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what I vote.

598
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I start going through down the rabbit hole of

599
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: all right, who is she and what's she all about?

600
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: And that statement in the back half of that just

601
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 3: read like I'm an influencer, follow me as we go

602
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 3: through this magical world of my ap vote. That's a

603
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 3: great point because normally when voters who do something like

604
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 3: this that are that's really bad, you can't find them.

605
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, I don't want anybody.

606
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, you know what, not voting for Eachro

607
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 3: for the Hall of Fame, not voting for Jeter for

608
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame.

609
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: You don't find those people. Where are that. I'm not

610
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna say, we're not gonna make that vote, but they

611
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it. They don't have to know, Okay. Usually,

612
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: but she's like, hey, yeah, thanks for the support, thanks

613
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: for everything. My vote doesn't matter. Yeah, that's that's a

614
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: great point, because that's that's another further thing. Or again,

627
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: into playoff rankings in the committee and all of that,

628
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,840

770
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with My best friend

771
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon NFL reporting a huge uptick in Week one

772
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: on NFL kickoffs, first time we've had regular season games

773
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: since the touchback was moved back to the thirty five

774
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: yard line, right like, if you kick it at and

775
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: in the end zone, now thirty five yard line. Okay, okay, okay,

776
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna kick it off and try to make tackles.

777
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: Teams returned one hundred and eighteen of one hundred and

778
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: fifty six kickoffs, seventy five percent return rate. Last time

779
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 1: NFL had a higher return rate for a single week

780
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: was Week seventeen of twenty ten. So we saw more

781
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: kickoffs returned week one then we've seen any week in

782
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: fifteen years. In the air should have only been one

783
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen. Look at you, Cairo Santos. Sorry, Ben Johnson,

784
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: just kicking out of bounds. Oh but I told him, yeah,

785
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: your fault. Now, that's great. He didn't super tote that thing.

786
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: It's made it a play again. And I get the

787
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: NFL is excited because I wanted to kick off to

788
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: be a play. But it's gonna wind up being pretty irrelevant,

789
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: all right, because the players are still lining up close

790
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: enough to the ball and look for someone who's who

791
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: you know? Hey, My main point of pride for most

792
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: of my high school career was the special teams I

793
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: played on, and I was really good on the kickoff team. Uh,

794
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: it's you're not gonna suddenly start seeing breakthroughs in big

795
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: returns for touchdowns because it's easier for the kicking team

796
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: to find the ball, right. That's the big thing, is

797
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: that running down field with a ball, going and looking

798
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: and seeing where you are and trying to see where

799
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: the return is and how the return is set up.

800
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: Because you're lying up so close, it's much easier for

801
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: the kickoff team to find the football. And when you

802
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: can find the football easier, it's much easier to maintain

803
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: lane integrity, which is what stops returners from breaking through right. So,

804
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: so the fact that they're lined up this close and

805
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: they get to see where the ball is right, you

806
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: get to watch like you can't go right until the

807
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: ball goes and it's touched, so you get to see

808
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: where it goes and see where it lands, so you

809
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: know where it's going. Now, obviously the returner can cut

810
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: and go, but you're closer to the football and you're

811
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: not worried more and there's no more big impact collisions

812
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: where you're running then and you're you're you know, one

813
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: guy is able to knock out two people because of

814
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: the way the play is going. When you when the

815
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: guy is cutting to the right, suddenly you have to

816
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: continue to keep lane integrity and stay there. That's kind

817
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: of been out the window now the last couple of years. So, yeah,

818
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna see returns and teams are more concentrating on now, Okay,

819
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: we want to get them around the twenty. We're not

820
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: going to try to burst through and get them at

821
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: the fifteen or the ten yard line because if they

822
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: break through, hey they break all the way through and

823
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: they're gone. So you could see the teams there. The

824
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: returners are getting out towards the twenty yard line a

825
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: little bit more than I thought they would because teams

826
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: are concentrated on we're gonna stop them around the twenty.

827
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that this is what we do.

828
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: We cause a lot of a lot of chaos and

829
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: nowhere to make sure that there's nowhere for that person

830
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: to run and we make the tackle. So yeah, we're

831
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna see more kickoffs return, but we're kind of gonna

832
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: see it go this way where yeah, they're gonna get

833
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: about out to the twenty yard line and then hey,

834
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna start the offense just like old times, just

835
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: like bank to the twenty eighteen point six percent touchbacks

836
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: week one, a sixty four point five percent a year

837
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: ago and seventy seven point six percent back in twenty

838
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: twenty three, the stark difference. But to your point, you

839
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: know your average starting field position in that twenty yard range.

840
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: In most cases you had a couple of jail break situations,

841
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: but for the most part pretty well contained. And then

842
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: obviously the Ro Santo's event. Yeah, I mean you kick

843
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: it out ane of those things. You kick it out

844
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: of bounds. Nah to try to kick it out. You

845
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: could do it right, kick it out.

846
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: Oh we just lost the game because you didn't kick

847
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 3: it out of the end zone. And I should have

848
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 3: told you to do that.

849
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: That's on me. I'm Ben Johnson. There you go.

850
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 3: Over the last five years, drive starting within one yard

851
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 3: of the thirty yard line generated an average of two points.

852
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: So there you go. Yeah, I mean it's it made

853
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: it a play again, which is great, and you're gonna

854
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: get a couple of breakthrough I'm gonna say you're not

855
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna get it, but this is not gonna suddenly turn

856
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: this into a player. Wow, man, the kickoff, it's a

857
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: must watch. You gotta see it. It's gonna it's gonna

858
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: be a check. No, it's not. It's just gonna make

859
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: the kickoff a play again.

860
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 3: And it actually at least gives you a little bit

861
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 3: of room for chaos, either a big return, perhaps a turnover,

862
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 3: or a big hit as opposed to sail through the end.

863
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: Zone exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. Jason

864
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: Smith Mike Harmon, Coming up next, we got more football

865
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: on the way. The two most high profile quarterbacks after

866
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: Week one? Are they gonna keep doing what they're doing?

867
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: That's next, Jason to Mike. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
