<v Speaker 2>Minister of Humor, Fritzie and Dylan in the back row.

0:00:10.810 --> 0:00:14.290
<v Speaker 2>Marvin up front. Big Day Ray sitting in Paulie's chair

<v Speaker 2>as he gets ready for Not So Fast, the show

0:00:16.540 --> 0:00:19.419
<v Speaker 2>that follows ours on NBC Sports Now.

0:00:19.460 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 3>And also Peacock.

0:00:20.579 --> 0:00:23.340
<v Speaker 2>Good morning if you're watching this program or listening on

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>our radio affiliates, iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio, ESPN Radio, just

0:00:28.020 --> 0:00:31.630
<v Speaker 2>to name a few. Sunday night in Seattle. I'm not

0:00:31.650 --> 0:00:34.870
<v Speaker 2>going to say it's a must-win situation, but you're Seattle,

0:00:35.170 --> 0:00:37.540
<v Speaker 2>and Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are coming to town

0:00:37.580 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 2>in primetime. Sunday night is football night on NBC and Peacock.

0:00:43.380 --> 0:00:48.339
<v Speaker 2>Niners in action tonight, and they will be 7.5-point favorites

0:00:48.409 --> 0:00:49.330
<v Speaker 2>against the Commanders.

0:00:50.110 --> 0:00:50.790
<v Speaker 3>Poll question.

0:00:50.830 --> 0:00:52.850
<v Speaker 2>We'll have a new one for our final hour here.

0:00:52.890 --> 0:00:57.090
<v Speaker 2>Your phone calls, best and worst of the weekend, 877-3DP-SHOW.

0:00:57.170 --> 0:01:01.860
<v Speaker 2>Operator Tyler sitting by. recapping the Jalen Hurts news. If

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>you're just joining us, that blood clot will keep him

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.259
<v Speaker 2>out of action the rest of this season. They gave

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.059
<v Speaker 2>a timeframe of three months, but he'll be out for

0:01:11.100 --> 0:01:13.860
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the year. Also, the Colts have moved

0:01:13.980 --> 0:01:17.530
<v Speaker 2>on from Chris Ballard, their general manager. I would imagine

0:01:17.610 --> 0:01:21.110
<v Speaker 2>Shane Steichen will be in the position, the hot seat

0:01:21.150 --> 0:01:24.830
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of this year. But I start to wonder,

0:01:25.330 --> 0:01:29.110
<v Speaker 2>you got the trade deadline in a few weeks. Jonathan Taylor,

0:01:30.030 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Is he somebody that you might move on from? Quentin Nelson,

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>great offensive lineman. DeForest Buckner, maybe you could send him

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>back to San Francisco. I'm sure he'd love to go.

0:01:41.780 --> 0:01:44.610
<v Speaker 2>But you start to look at the Colts now, and

0:01:45.530 --> 0:01:50.630
<v Speaker 2>they just lost at home to the Titans. And then

0:01:50.730 --> 0:01:52.970
<v Speaker 2>I had a source last hour, once this news broke

0:01:53.010 --> 0:01:57.950
<v Speaker 2>with Chris Ballard, saying that he believes the Ursae sisters–

0:01:58.330 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Family will reach out to Peyton Manning about being a GM,

0:02:02.420 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe the entry point of also having part ownership. I

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>know that Peyton and family are happy in Colorado. He

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>has a son who's playing high school football there. But

0:02:13.460 --> 0:02:16.500
<v Speaker 2>is this enough, the potential to be an owner of

0:02:16.540 --> 0:02:20.060
<v Speaker 2>the Colts? Is that enough to kind of lure him

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 2>back to the NFL? The NFL would love it. The

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 2>community of Indianapolis would love it. He could pick his quarterback.

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.620
<v Speaker 2>Pick his coach and having his brain power in the

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>organization would only be positive. But you wonder about, I mean,

0:02:38.970 --> 0:02:41.530
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised Chris Ballard kept his job for 10 years.

0:02:41.830 --> 0:02:42.950
<v Speaker 3>You got one playoff win.

0:02:43.110 --> 0:02:43.489
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Marv.

0:02:44.470 --> 0:02:47.710
<v Speaker 5>If the Colts are doing a fire sale and they

0:02:47.730 --> 0:02:50.450
<v Speaker 5>get rid of Jonathan Taylor, if I'm the Denver Broncos,

0:02:50.650 --> 0:02:51.870
<v Speaker 5>I'm calling ASAP.

0:02:51.930 --> 0:02:52.090
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:02:52.110 --> 0:02:54.809
<v Speaker 5>Because their run game needs an upgrade ASAP.

0:02:54.870 --> 0:02:55.070
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:02:55.210 --> 0:02:55.630
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Dylan.

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.690
<v Speaker 8>If you're Peyton, though, do you almost not want to

0:02:58.930 --> 0:03:02.870
<v Speaker 8>take that job? Like you're the franchise's legend. If it

0:03:02.910 --> 0:03:06.250
<v Speaker 8>doesn't work out great, is that kind of a stain

0:03:06.330 --> 0:03:08.109
<v Speaker 8>on your legacy there?

0:03:08.450 --> 0:03:10.330
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't know. Is it a stain on John

0:03:10.370 --> 0:03:11.230
<v Speaker 3>Elway's legacy?

0:03:12.010 --> 0:03:12.490
<v Speaker 8>A little bit.

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.220
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if people think about that anymore, bring

0:03:16.260 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 3>it up anymore.

0:03:18.660 --> 0:03:22.220
<v Speaker 2>I always wonder, like Patrick Ewing with Georgetown, Clyde Drexler

0:03:22.260 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>with Houston, Chris Mullen with St.

0:03:23.980 --> 0:03:27.510
<v Speaker 3>John's, Like that's different. You're coaching the team.

0:03:28.330 --> 0:03:31.139
<v Speaker 2>Whereas if you're going to help build the infrastructure there.

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.020
<v Speaker 3>You know, I guess you run the risk.

0:03:35.060 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>But the risk is, hey, I get to run an

0:03:37.180 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 2>organization and I get part ownership. Because I'm not doing

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.980
<v Speaker 2>it unless I'm getting part ownership. If I'm Peyton, doesn't

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:45.660
<v Speaker 2>make any sense.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:46.580
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Dylan.

0:03:47.380 --> 0:03:48.940
<v Speaker 8>It would be a tough year to jump in when

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 8>the Jets own your first round.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:51.420
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 8>The Jets are masters at fleecing other teams for defensive backs.

0:03:54.660 --> 0:03:57.690
<v Speaker 8>The Jamal Adams trade, the Sauce Gardner trade, and then

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.150
<v Speaker 8>it has rarely worked out for the other side. Yeah,

0:04:01.190 --> 0:04:03.850
<v Speaker 8>but then it doesn't really work out for the Jets either. No,

0:04:03.910 --> 0:04:04.430
<v Speaker 8>nothing does.

0:04:04.470 --> 0:04:05.870
<v Speaker 3>No, it doesn't.

0:04:06.750 --> 0:04:10.310
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I tried to watch that game yesterday. There are

0:04:10.330 --> 0:04:14.130
<v Speaker 2>times when you go, man, I just can't. Then I'll

0:04:14.170 --> 0:04:16.650
<v Speaker 2>go outside and then I'll come back in and I'll go, no,

0:04:16.710 --> 0:04:19.950
<v Speaker 2>I still can't. It's like a meal that you know

0:04:20.010 --> 0:04:21.460
<v Speaker 2>is not good, but you're hungry.

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 3>So you go, I don't know. Let me let me try.

0:04:25.500 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Let me try the broccoli, Rob. Yes, Marvin.

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 5>Growing up as a kid and living here in the local,

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 5>the Patriots, the Jets or the Giants in the late

0:04:36.460 --> 0:04:38.740
<v Speaker 5>to early 90s. Gosh, do I have to watch Dave

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 5>Brown throw the ball to Howard Cross?

0:04:40.460 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:42.180
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I guess I do.

0:04:42.540 --> 0:04:43.740
<v Speaker 3>Duke's Dave Brown.

0:04:44.339 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 5>That's right.

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.559
<v Speaker 3>Supplemental draft. Dave Brown.

0:04:47.580 --> 0:04:48.060
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Dylan.

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.979
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, there's nothing worse locally when one channel is the

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.740
<v Speaker 8>Jets and whoever they're playing, and the other one is

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.659
<v Speaker 8>the Giants and whoever they're playing. You're like, I guess

0:04:54.700 --> 0:04:55.660
<v Speaker 8>I'll watch something else.

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.970
<v Speaker 2>And you're watching that Saints game, and you're going, okay,

0:05:00.089 --> 0:05:02.590
<v Speaker 2>Giants out to an early lead. All right, they should

0:05:02.630 --> 0:05:05.969
<v Speaker 2>win this game. And then all of a sudden, Saints

0:05:06.050 --> 0:05:11.050
<v Speaker 2>come back. Well, they score 34 unanswered points. And then

0:05:11.070 --> 0:05:14.030
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, J.J. McCarthy acting like Phil Simms

0:05:14.350 --> 0:05:19.740
<v Speaker 2>coming in there. And he had neighbors open. He had

0:05:19.779 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>him open. But he got some playing time. Good. I'm

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.380
<v Speaker 2>glad that he got a chance to get in there. And,

0:05:25.900 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe there's something there. Maybe he's like the

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.779
<v Speaker 2>other quarterbacks we've seen that you need that change of scenery.

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.500
<v Speaker 2>And it might be another team after this, but we've

0:05:37.550 --> 0:05:45.910
<v Speaker 2>seen those reclamation projects. 877-3DP-SHELL. Poll question for the final hour, Dylan. Yeah,

0:05:45.930 --> 0:05:47.750
<v Speaker 2>you want a quick recap of the last hour?

0:05:47.850 --> 0:05:48.110
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, sure.

0:05:48.150 --> 0:05:48.310
<v Speaker 6>Sure.

0:05:48.790 --> 0:05:53.190
<v Speaker 8>Who you got tonight? Commanders or 49ers? Unsurprisingly, 91% of

0:05:53.210 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 8>the people are taking the 49ers, Dan, and you know

0:05:55.260 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 8>I love that because I will be rocking with the Commanders.

0:05:57.900 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:05:59.100 --> 0:06:01.540
<v Speaker 3>By the way, C.J.

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:07.380
<v Speaker 2>Stroud, contract extension, question mark, played well, 312 yards, had

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 2>a win against the Jags, offense playing well.

0:06:12.610 --> 0:06:12.750
<v Speaker 6>He.

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:21.370
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's the pace scale. Patrick Mahomes, 63 million. Dax, 60. Stafford, 55.

0:06:21.370 --> 0:06:26.890
<v Speaker 2>Baker Mayfield, 55. Jordan Love, 55. Joe Burrow, 55.

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:27.450
<v Speaker 6>C.J.

0:06:27.510 --> 0:06:32.020
<v Speaker 2>Stroud right now is second in passing yards. He is

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:38.260
<v Speaker 2>13th in passing touchdowns. He's thrown one interception. I would

0:06:38.300 --> 0:06:40.630
<v Speaker 2>still make him play the rest of this year. If

0:06:40.670 --> 0:06:44.370
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to give you $ 55 to $ 60 million, I

0:06:45.510 --> 0:06:49.770
<v Speaker 2>reserve the right to wait until the very end of

0:06:49.810 --> 0:06:53.300
<v Speaker 2>the season. If they make the playoffs, he continues to

0:06:53.339 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>play well, and whatever needed fixing got fixed, then great.

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.590
<v Speaker 3>And pay that man his money. Yes, Marvin.

0:07:04.250 --> 0:07:06.510
<v Speaker 5>CJ Stroud has to play well in the playoffs because

0:07:06.589 --> 0:07:09.330
<v Speaker 5>remember that playoff game against the Patriots, Troy Aikman was

0:07:09.470 --> 0:07:13.670
<v Speaker 5>questioning whether the Texans should even give him an extension

0:07:13.730 --> 0:07:14.970
<v Speaker 5>during the game in real time.

0:07:15.050 --> 0:07:15.250
<v Speaker 7>Yes.

0:07:16.370 --> 0:07:18.370
<v Speaker 2>Well, it looked like he forgot how to play. You know,

0:07:18.430 --> 0:07:20.940
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you play golf and you go, I don't even

0:07:20.980 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm doing here. And then another day happens

0:07:25.260 --> 0:07:27.260
<v Speaker 2>and you'll be like, I'm Jack Nicklaus.

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 7>Yes.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:28.340
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:28.380 --> 0:07:32.620
<v Speaker 5>He felt like Sam Donald seeing ghost. I mean, he,

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean, They were all over him. He didn't know

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:35.820
<v Speaker 5>what to do with the football.

0:07:35.900 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:07:37.180 --> 0:07:37.900
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Dylan?

0:07:38.500 --> 0:07:41.820
<v Speaker 8>Didn't C.J. Stroud turn down a $ 50 million a year deal, too?

0:07:41.850 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 8>I remember at the time, everyone was like, what are

0:07:43.620 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 8>you doing, dude?

0:07:44.700 --> 0:07:44.940
<v Speaker 9>I know.

0:07:45.290 --> 0:07:47.530
<v Speaker 8>And I get betting on yourself, but that seems, I mean,

0:07:47.650 --> 0:07:49.370
<v Speaker 8>I hope it works out and it seems like it's

0:07:49.410 --> 0:07:51.470
<v Speaker 8>trending in the right direction, but that's bold.

0:07:52.470 --> 0:07:52.970
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Ray?

0:07:53.590 --> 0:07:54.010
<v Speaker 10>C.J.

0:07:54.030 --> 0:07:57.930
<v Speaker 11>Stroud in that game, 20 for 47, 212 yards, a touchdown,

0:07:58.290 --> 0:07:59.410
<v Speaker 11>four interceptions in.

0:07:59.370 --> 0:07:59.970
<v Speaker 5>The first half.

0:08:00.030 --> 0:08:00.190
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:08:01.090 --> 0:08:02.950
<v Speaker 3>Did he also have a fumble as well?

0:08:03.210 --> 0:08:06.410
<v Speaker 5>I believe so. All righty.

0:08:06.850 --> 0:08:09.430
<v Speaker 2>Get some phone calls here. Final hour of the program.

0:08:09.470 --> 0:08:10.470
<v Speaker 2>Mike in Pennsylvania.

0:08:10.510 --> 0:08:10.890
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Mike.

0:08:10.930 --> 0:08:11.830
<v Speaker 3>What do you have for me today?

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 7>Hey, happy Monday, fellas. I'm calling from the heart of

0:08:15.380 --> 0:08:21.780
<v Speaker 7>Ross Tucker country. So the 2014 playoff, how's it affect

0:08:21.860 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 7>Notre Dame in getting pressured to join a conference? You know?

0:08:26.990 --> 0:08:29.570
<v Speaker 7>And the best and worst for me this weekend was

0:08:29.610 --> 0:08:32.830
<v Speaker 7>the chaos both in college and NFL football, and it's

0:08:32.870 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 7>just been great. And the worst would be the officiating

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 7>across the board. Do they go finally to say, hey,

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 7>we got it on film, that's an interference call?

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:48.860
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know how they adjudicate this, but I mean,

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.219
<v Speaker 2>there's just too much money attached to this when it

0:08:51.260 --> 0:08:54.820
<v Speaker 2>comes to gambling, when it comes to the TV networks,

0:08:54.900 --> 0:08:57.730
<v Speaker 2>and then the playoffs, and And it's not where you

0:08:57.750 --> 0:09:00.809
<v Speaker 2>make somebody full-time. I know we keep thinking, boy, if

0:09:00.850 --> 0:09:05.050
<v Speaker 2>they just made them full-time, I don't know how that

0:09:05.130 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>changes them. If you ever stand on the sidelines, it

0:09:10.420 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 2>could be high school football, just trying to referee that

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:16.460
<v Speaker 2>in real time.

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:18.260
<v Speaker 3>I get it. It's difficult.

0:09:18.820 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Can you have the eye in the sky? Okay, what

0:09:20.620 --> 0:09:23.420
<v Speaker 2>do you do with college football? How many cameras are

0:09:23.460 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>you going to have? What's available? How much information do

0:09:27.390 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 2>you want available for us to be able to see

0:09:30.140 --> 0:09:33.340
<v Speaker 2>and hear? I love being able to listen in when

0:09:33.380 --> 0:09:37.130
<v Speaker 2>they're discussing things because it should be transparent.

0:09:38.130 --> 0:09:40.309
<v Speaker 3>Why not? Yes, Dylan.

0:09:41.740 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 5>It is.

0:09:42.059 --> 0:09:44.679
<v Speaker 8>I totally agree. Like, I think it's probably so much

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.250
<v Speaker 8>harder than anyone watching on TV at home can really

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.090
<v Speaker 8>wrap their head around to call a game. But it's

0:09:49.309 --> 0:09:51.510
<v Speaker 8>stuff like the Notre Dame game with the one second

0:09:51.550 --> 0:09:54.309
<v Speaker 8>left after the whole Western Michigan, Michigan thing early this year.

0:09:54.350 --> 0:09:56.710
<v Speaker 8>It's like that seems like stuff that should be ironed out.

0:09:57.670 --> 0:09:59.970
<v Speaker 3>That to me is easy. Yeah, there's one second.

0:10:00.250 --> 0:10:00.450
<v Speaker 2>Left.

0:10:00.530 --> 0:10:01.189
<v Speaker 3>It's right there.

0:10:01.470 --> 0:10:05.100
<v Speaker 2>This isn't we went up to the backup, you know,

0:10:05.150 --> 0:10:08.199
<v Speaker 2>clock here. This is this is right there. There's one

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.140
<v Speaker 2>second left. Yes, Marvin.

0:10:10.420 --> 0:10:13.260
<v Speaker 5>And this may affect Notre Dame going into the playoffs

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.719
<v Speaker 5>if they get in, because they might say, man, if

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 5>we won that game, we would have had a home game.

0:10:17.750 --> 0:10:19.130
<v Speaker 5>And now we have a road game. So this might

0:10:19.170 --> 0:10:20.790
<v Speaker 5>affect them going forward into the playoffs.

0:10:20.990 --> 0:10:24.530
<v Speaker 2>And then if they happen to lose against Miami, now

0:10:24.550 --> 0:10:26.350
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden you've got real question marks with

0:10:26.410 --> 0:10:27.650
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame getting in.

0:10:27.910 --> 0:10:28.310
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Mark.

0:10:28.850 --> 0:10:30.770
<v Speaker 5>How many losses will it take for Notre Dame to

0:10:30.809 --> 0:10:32.530
<v Speaker 5>be completely out of the playoffs?

0:10:33.990 --> 0:10:36.979
<v Speaker 3>I would say given their schedule, maybe three.

0:10:38.790 --> 0:10:42.900
<v Speaker 2>Now, I've seen some analysts say that maybe two would

0:10:42.940 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 2>keep them out. The way this season's going, What do

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:57.260
<v Speaker 2>you got? Miami undefeated. BYU undefeated. These schools are getting

0:10:57.300 --> 0:11:00.500
<v Speaker 2>knocked off because the Big Ten is more competitive than

0:11:00.540 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 2>we thought.

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:02.140
<v Speaker 3>Look at UCLA.

0:11:04.340 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 2>And then you've got the SEC, where that's a meat grinder,

0:11:07.140 --> 0:11:10.589
<v Speaker 2>where you're going to come out of that winning maybe

0:11:10.660 --> 0:11:14.670
<v Speaker 2>with two losses. But you're going to have two or

0:11:14.790 --> 0:11:17.980
<v Speaker 2>three lost teams in there, And I know people are,

0:11:18.420 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>oh my God, if you got a four loss team

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:26.070
<v Speaker 2>in their 2014 playoff, if they earn the right, it's okay.

0:11:27.290 --> 0:11:30.050
<v Speaker 2>Not every team that makes March Madness is good or

0:11:30.110 --> 0:11:33.750
<v Speaker 2>has a good record. We're fine with that. We're like,

0:11:33.870 --> 0:11:36.010
<v Speaker 2>oh man, they got 16 losses. Yeah, but they won

0:11:36.030 --> 0:11:37.090
<v Speaker 2>their conference tournament.

0:11:37.429 --> 0:11:37.750
<v Speaker 9>Okay.

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.300
<v Speaker 2>If you abide by the rules, the requirements, then you

0:11:43.340 --> 0:11:45.660
<v Speaker 2>get in. Now you're not going to have a home game.

0:11:46.620 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 2>You are going to play week one. There's no bye.

0:11:49.780 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 2>You'll be on the road.

0:11:50.740 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 12>Okay.

0:11:52.980 --> 0:11:53.420
<v Speaker 3>You got in.

0:11:53.660 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 10>Great.

0:11:53.900 --> 0:11:55.180
<v Speaker 3>It's not the end of the world.

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Mark. I do like the fact that with the

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 5>2014 playoff, you do have room for error. Like if

0:12:01.820 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 5>you have a bad game, which is bound to happen

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 5>when you're playing against other really good teams, because if

0:12:07.179 --> 0:12:10.340
<v Speaker 5>you're a 2004 Auburn team that went undefeated, they didn't

0:12:10.380 --> 0:12:12.260
<v Speaker 5>even get a chance to play for a national title.

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.339
<v Speaker 5>So at least you have room for error. Like if

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.740
<v Speaker 5>you lose a game or two to other really good teams,

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 5>you can still get in and play for a national title.

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.020
<v Speaker 3>And maybe I'm in the minority.

0:12:21.780 --> 0:12:24.020
<v Speaker 2>As a couple of my friends have texted me this morning,

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.380
<v Speaker 2>it's like it feels like you're desperate trying to defend

0:12:27.420 --> 0:12:31.110
<v Speaker 2>your side of the 2014 playoff. I go, I'm not desperate.

0:12:31.650 --> 0:12:34.970
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying that they're going to beef up September games.

0:12:35.270 --> 0:12:38.090
<v Speaker 3>How about this? And I don't know if this is possible.

0:12:38.550 --> 0:12:44.130
<v Speaker 2>How about you incentivize schools to, teams to play better

0:12:44.170 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 2>competition and then you will share in that financially so

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>let's say you say to ohio state and texas we

0:12:52.980 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 2>want you guys to play again in september and we'll

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.340
<v Speaker 2>make it financially rewarding for you i mean we are

0:12:59.380 --> 0:13:04.380
<v Speaker 2>talking about tv this is entertainment Why not create something

0:13:04.420 --> 0:13:08.660
<v Speaker 2>where you incentivize them to play better opponents? Maybe you

0:13:08.700 --> 0:13:12.140
<v Speaker 2>could get a schedule in September that's not filled with

0:13:12.179 --> 0:13:16.470
<v Speaker 2>cupcakes there. And maybe you play tougher games, your schedule's tougher,

0:13:17.230 --> 0:13:19.949
<v Speaker 2>because you can afford to do that, because you could

0:13:19.970 --> 0:13:21.150
<v Speaker 2>have two or three losses.

0:13:21.630 --> 0:13:22.070
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Marv?

0:13:22.750 --> 0:13:25.130
<v Speaker 5>Do you think this might turn into college basketball where, say,

0:13:25.630 --> 0:13:28.690
<v Speaker 5>if Duke basketball, they lose five games, but they lost

0:13:28.730 --> 0:13:31.420
<v Speaker 5>to Michigan State and UCLA and North Carolina? Do you

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 5>think that might be the case if Alabama loses to

0:13:34.260 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 5>a Texas or an Ohio State or Georgia where those

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.460
<v Speaker 5>three losses are against three quality opponents?

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I hope that, you know, the committee looks at just

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 2>like the Michigan win in quotation marks against Western Michigan.

0:13:48.620 --> 0:13:49.420
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't a win.

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.350
<v Speaker 2>And I got to include I have to factor in

0:13:52.370 --> 0:13:55.630
<v Speaker 2>a win for Western Michigan. And but I can't factor

0:13:55.670 --> 0:13:57.230
<v Speaker 2>in a win for Michigan. Now, it's not going to

0:13:57.270 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 2>matter for Michigan, but. You know, you've got to be

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.540
<v Speaker 2>fair in a situation like that. Now, this isn't going

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.470
<v Speaker 2>to happen with Notre Dame and BYU, although Notre Dame's

0:14:06.500 --> 0:14:08.390
<v Speaker 2>not going to drop, I don't think, too far. That

0:14:08.790 --> 0:14:12.390
<v Speaker 2>was a tough game. Indiana's not going to drop that much,

0:14:12.929 --> 0:14:14.069
<v Speaker 2>losing to Ohio State.

0:14:14.170 --> 0:14:14.530
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Ray.

0:14:15.179 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 11>So Notre Dame dropped two, so they're at four now,

0:14:19.180 --> 0:14:20.950
<v Speaker 11>and Indiana dropped from five to six.

0:14:20.990 --> 0:14:24.070
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so not a precipitous fall. Yes, Dylan?

0:14:24.610 --> 0:14:27.330
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think Notre Dame, too, it helped how crazy

0:14:27.370 --> 0:14:31.510
<v Speaker 8>Saturday was. There's so many huge losses. If that was

0:14:31.530 --> 0:14:33.970
<v Speaker 8>just a standalone and everything was business as usual, that

0:14:34.010 --> 0:14:35.790
<v Speaker 8>would stick out a lot more than I think it did.

0:14:37.220 --> 0:14:38.220
<v Speaker 3>James in Virginia.

0:14:38.260 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 12>Hi, James.

0:14:41.170 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 13>Oh, thank you for taking my call, brother. Happy Monday, D.P. Janette.

0:14:44.700 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 13>Salute the commanders, man. Big time all the time, every time.

0:14:47.580 --> 0:14:49.740
<v Speaker 13>I tell you, D.P., you got me in high thinking

0:14:49.780 --> 0:14:52.940
<v Speaker 13>Jonathan Taylor should come to Washington if he's available for trade, man.

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.260
<v Speaker 13>I'd love to see that. I tell you, I'm also

0:14:55.300 --> 0:14:58.170
<v Speaker 13>buying the UNC Tar Heels, man. A team that would

0:14:58.270 --> 0:15:01.470
<v Speaker 13>finish the bottom of the ACC at 4-2 and have

0:15:01.510 --> 0:15:04.609
<v Speaker 13>the chance to finish 9-3 and maybe could upset Miami, man.

0:15:04.650 --> 0:15:07.979
<v Speaker 13>I am on that team pretty strong. Love the Rays

0:15:08.010 --> 0:15:11.540
<v Speaker 13>baseball games this weekend. Those were exciting. But, man, would

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 13>this be the most NFL thing if Washington pulled out

0:15:14.260 --> 0:15:17.180
<v Speaker 13>a victory tonight? I wouldn't go by the face, man.

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.020
<v Speaker 13>But if I can get seven and a half, Marv,

0:15:19.060 --> 0:15:21.060
<v Speaker 13>I'm all for it, man. But I can't go straight up.

0:15:21.340 --> 0:15:24.140
<v Speaker 13>But I hope they pull it out, man. You guys

0:15:24.180 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 13>have a great day, man.

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 3>All righty. Thank you, James.

0:15:27.340 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Marvin, you're a Niner fan. You want to give James

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:30.500
<v Speaker 2>seven and a half?

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.430
<v Speaker 5>Oh, as a matter of fact, I don't. Man, it's

0:15:33.450 --> 0:15:36.290
<v Speaker 5>the NFL. Okay. They're pros, too.

0:15:36.860 --> 0:15:37.140
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's come to play.

0:15:38.460 --> 0:15:38.940
<v Speaker 3>Oh, really?

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:39.340
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:39.820
<v Speaker 5>Terry McLaurin.

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:40.540
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:15:40.590 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 8>That's a good team.

0:15:41.140 --> 0:15:43.150
<v Speaker 7>Terry McLaurin.

0:15:43.170 --> 0:15:45.350
<v Speaker 8>Scary Terry. Terry McLaurin.

0:15:46.070 --> 0:15:47.510
<v Speaker 5>But he is, though. I know.

0:15:47.610 --> 0:15:47.870
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:15:47.950 --> 0:15:48.190
<v Speaker 10>I know.

0:15:48.230 --> 0:15:50.710
<v Speaker 3>But that's kind of like, oh, yeah, Terry McLaurin's coming

0:15:50.730 --> 0:15:51.110
<v Speaker 3>to town.

0:15:54.850 --> 0:15:57.050
<v Speaker 5>You laugh now, but if he has a big game,

0:15:57.750 --> 0:15:59.470
<v Speaker 5>everyone's going to be like, oh, man, he's so underrated.

0:15:59.490 --> 0:16:01.190
<v Speaker 5>He's been underrated since he went to Ohio State.

0:16:01.210 --> 0:16:03.250
<v Speaker 2>But if I laugh now and then he doesn't have

0:16:03.270 --> 0:16:05.380
<v Speaker 2>a good game, then I get to laugh again.

0:16:05.580 --> 0:16:05.860
<v Speaker 3>Correct.

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:16:06.260 --> 0:16:09.900
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Marvin. How about we take a break?

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:10.560
<v Speaker 5>Darren McLaurin.

0:16:10.620 --> 0:16:12.810
<v Speaker 3>Darren McLaurin. I like him.

0:16:14.270 --> 0:16:17.550
<v Speaker 2>He's a possession guy. How about we take a break?

0:16:17.790 --> 0:16:19.590
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to more phone calls coming up after this.

<v Speaker 13>Oh, baby, it's the start of the day. Start of

0:17:34.700 --> 0:17:39.570

0:17:39.670 --> 0:17:40.510

<v Speaker 5>Hi, Jim.

0:17:50.710 --> 0:17:51.180
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Dan.

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 6>Six foot, 190th. So I have a best of the

0:17:59.700 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 6>weekend and a bester of the weekend.

0:18:01.619 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 7>All right.

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 6>Best of the weekend is seeing your pal, Steve Young,

0:18:07.420 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 6>on college game day hitting 10 of 10 picks. Yeah,

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 6>it's always good when someone can walk out of those

0:18:13.900 --> 0:18:17.540
<v Speaker 6>mean streets of Greenwich and make a success out of themselves.

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 6>So the bester of the weekend would be Drake May

0:18:21.270 --> 0:18:25.750
<v Speaker 6>and the Patriots. revert back to their 2025 form and

0:18:25.810 --> 0:18:28.090
<v Speaker 6>looking like they're going to make some headway going forward.

0:18:28.570 --> 0:18:28.869
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:18:29.230 --> 0:18:32.410
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I'm happy to see it. It's weird how fan

0:18:32.450 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 2>bases react. I don't, I don't root for any, I'm

0:18:36.100 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 2>not rooting against anybody. I just told you what I saw.

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.460
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think the Patriots coming off the Superbowl loss.

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:44.379
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think that they were going to make the

0:18:44.420 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 2>playoffs and they didn't play well early, but I'm not going.

0:18:47.859 --> 0:18:48.939
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Drake may.

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:53.980
<v Speaker 2>He's not playing well. He's a good kid. Played well.

0:18:54.580 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Second in the MVP. Although people said, well, wait till

0:18:58.580 --> 0:19:00.680
<v Speaker 2>he gets A.J. Brown back. He did not have a

0:19:00.700 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 2>good day yesterday. But he's a good player. He just

0:19:04.859 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 2>wasn't playing well. And I didn't know if they would

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.080
<v Speaker 2>have that Super Bowl hangover.

0:19:09.260 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 3>That's all.

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:12.179
<v Speaker 5>Like C.J.

0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:12.560
<v Speaker 7>Stroud.

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.460
<v Speaker 2>I hope he gets his contract. I hope he proves

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.930
<v Speaker 2>to be worthy of that contract. Deshaun Watson, I hope

0:19:19.950 --> 0:19:25.910
<v Speaker 2>he's able to play adequate football. Because I would hope

0:19:25.950 --> 0:19:27.990
<v Speaker 2>that for the Browns fan base that has to put

0:19:28.050 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 2>up with this. Like, at least give them quality play.

0:19:30.940 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 2>That's all.

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.020
<v Speaker 3>But I'm not here to root. I just explain what

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:36.440
<v Speaker 3>I see.

0:19:37.260 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 8>That's all.

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:39.300
<v Speaker 3>Or what I hear. Yes, Marv?

0:19:40.300 --> 0:19:41.860
<v Speaker 5>Now, if we talked about the Patriots all the time,

0:19:41.940 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 5>we would hear, oh, East Coast bias?

0:19:43.780 --> 0:19:43.980
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:19:45.050 --> 0:19:48.450
<v Speaker 5>When we talked about the Sacramento Kings way too often.

0:19:48.470 --> 0:19:50.609
<v Speaker 2>You might want East Coast bias now the way the

0:19:50.670 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Rams and the Chargers are playing. Yeah.

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Hey, why don't you talk about the East Coast, not

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 3>the West Coast? Yes, Ray.

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.699
<v Speaker 11>That Drake May draft class is still so fascinating to me.

0:19:59.740 --> 0:20:01.659
<v Speaker 11>At this point, we still have no idea who's the

0:20:01.700 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 11>best quarterback, Kayla Williams, Jaden Daniels, or Drake May.

0:20:05.140 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 5>They're all winners.

0:20:07.590 --> 0:20:11.540
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Williams now has 50 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.540
<v Speaker 2>in his career. There are only two other players in

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:20.619
<v Speaker 2>history to have fewer than 15 interceptions at the time

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:22.899
<v Speaker 2>of their 50th career touchdown pass.

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.510
<v Speaker 3>Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes.

0:20:27.660 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 14>Stat of the day, stat of the day. Stat of

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:36.580
<v Speaker 14>the day, stat of the day. Here comes that stat

0:20:36.619 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 14>of the day.

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Lamar, when he threw his 50th career touchdown pass, had

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:46.639
<v Speaker 2>10 interceptions. Mahomes, when he threw his 50th, had 13.

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:51.869
<v Speaker 2>Here is Ben Johnson, the Bears head coach, on Caleb Williams' return.

0:20:52.990 --> 0:20:54.870
<v Speaker 3>Well, he just said to the team.

0:20:56.540 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 15>When he got the game ball, just how, how the

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.260
<v Speaker 15>last few weeks were, were hard for him because he

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.419
<v Speaker 15>didn't know, um, he had never been in that position before,

0:21:04.540 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 15>you know? And so, um, he came in my office

0:21:07.140 --> 0:21:09.659
<v Speaker 15>early on in the week and kind of alluded to, man,

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:13.330
<v Speaker 15>I want to push this thing and see where we're at. And, um,

0:21:14.050 --> 0:21:15.669
<v Speaker 15>you know, he, he did a great job downloading the

0:21:15.710 --> 0:21:18.590
<v Speaker 15>game plan and, and sure enough, he, uh, he was

0:21:18.609 --> 0:21:20.830
<v Speaker 15>finding some open guys and delivering good football.

0:21:20.869 --> 0:21:23.030
<v Speaker 3>So proud of him. Fun to watch.

0:21:24.130 --> 0:21:28.310
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think he's always going to have this asterisk

0:21:28.490 --> 0:21:31.580
<v Speaker 2>by him where you're just not quite sure about him.

0:21:31.859 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Not his talent, but I always think that there's going

0:21:35.060 --> 0:21:38.580
<v Speaker 2>to be kind of an undercurrent with him, of somebody

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.810
<v Speaker 2>having a problem with something to do with him. Remember

0:21:41.830 --> 0:21:45.590
<v Speaker 2>when he was with his mom in the stands at USC?

0:21:45.609 --> 0:21:48.510
<v Speaker 2>And everybody's like, oh, he's not going to be able

0:21:48.530 --> 0:21:49.810
<v Speaker 2>to be a starting quarterback. I go.

0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:56.360
<v Speaker 2>If I'm going to base how you treat your mother

0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:59.300
<v Speaker 2>as to how successful you're going to be or not be,

0:21:59.380 --> 0:22:05.090
<v Speaker 2>or you're crying on your mom's shoulder, it's okay. He

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:07.810
<v Speaker 2>looked good when he won the Heisman. I don't care

0:22:07.830 --> 0:22:09.690
<v Speaker 2>if you paint your name. I don't care about any

0:22:09.730 --> 0:22:10.409
<v Speaker 2>of that stuff.

0:22:11.210 --> 0:22:11.870
<v Speaker 3>Can you play?

0:22:13.230 --> 0:22:13.629
<v Speaker 4>That's it.

0:22:14.450 --> 0:22:17.250
<v Speaker 2>It's the great equalizer. When you get on the football field,

0:22:17.910 --> 0:22:21.239
<v Speaker 2>all the other stuff doesn't matter. And Caleb Williams, when

0:22:21.260 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 2>he steps on the football field, is a great quarterback.

0:22:25.580 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 2>And he's got Ben Johnson there. Now, they're not quite

0:22:27.790 --> 0:22:30.810
<v Speaker 2>the greatest offense in NFL history, at least not yet.

0:22:31.550 --> 0:22:34.909
<v Speaker 2>But I do like watching Caleb Williams. I think he's

0:22:34.930 --> 0:22:37.369
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun. Keith in Indiana.

0:22:37.430 --> 0:22:37.890
<v Speaker 7>Hi, Keith.

0:22:38.050 --> 0:22:38.950
<v Speaker 3>What do you have for me today?

0:22:40.180 --> 0:22:40.740
<v Speaker 4>Good morning, Dan.

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 7>Good morning.

0:22:42.130 --> 0:22:46.020
<v Speaker 4>Thanks for taking my call. I want to do worst

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:48.360
<v Speaker 4>and best, kind of flip it a little bit. I'm

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:52.220
<v Speaker 4>a Purdue grad. I'm a Purdue fan in basketball, not football.

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.359
<v Speaker 4>They get my hopes up, and then they crash them

0:22:55.380 --> 0:22:59.970
<v Speaker 4>back down again. But my worst of the weekend, obviously,

0:22:59.990 --> 0:23:03.490
<v Speaker 4>is with IU. I do follow them and kind of

0:23:03.530 --> 0:23:04.950
<v Speaker 4>root for them for the most part.

0:23:06.210 --> 0:23:08.450
<v Speaker 7>But that flew out of bounds. That was the worst.

0:23:08.490 --> 0:23:08.570
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:23:11.010 --> 0:23:13.330
<v Speaker 4>But my best is when they skate into the crowd

0:23:14.050 --> 0:23:18.370
<v Speaker 4>and you see all those IU fans crying. That just

0:23:18.410 --> 0:23:19.310
<v Speaker 4>made my weekend.

0:23:19.330 --> 0:23:20.790
<v Speaker 3>All right. Thank you, Keith.

0:23:24.790 --> 0:23:30.629
<v Speaker 2>Purdue, do something with the helmets. You almost had it

0:23:30.670 --> 0:23:34.580
<v Speaker 2>looking gorgeous. Give me some gold in the helmets that

0:23:34.619 --> 0:23:40.140
<v Speaker 2>stand out. It was like black helmet, black outline for,

0:23:40.300 --> 0:23:43.179
<v Speaker 2>you know, Purdue on the side of the helmets, a

0:23:43.660 --> 0:23:45.020
<v Speaker 2>little bit of gold there.

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:46.439
<v Speaker 3>Did you see those Marvin?

0:23:47.260 --> 0:23:49.639
<v Speaker 5>Unfortunately I did. And they got a great color scheme.

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:50.220
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.050
<v Speaker 3>Golden black, but get the gold pop in there.

0:23:53.900 --> 0:23:56.430
<v Speaker 2>I'm watching the game and I'm going, what a missed opportunity.

0:23:56.810 --> 0:23:58.129
<v Speaker 3>Here's another thing that bothers me.

0:23:59.170 --> 0:24:01.950
<v Speaker 2>If you got a Jersey and you get your name

0:24:02.010 --> 0:24:05.050
<v Speaker 2>on your Jersey, Can you make the name big enough

0:24:05.109 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 2>for us to see? Because there are times when you'll

0:24:08.940 --> 0:24:12.199
<v Speaker 2>see these teams and the name is really small. And

0:24:12.220 --> 0:24:14.820
<v Speaker 2>I go, if you're going to put the name on

0:24:14.859 --> 0:24:16.700
<v Speaker 2>the back, then put it so we.

0:24:16.660 --> 0:24:17.210
<v Speaker 3>Can read it.

0:24:18.220 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Ray.

0:24:18.900 --> 0:24:20.340
<v Speaker 8>Well, Dan, it's about the name on the front.

0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:23.580
<v Speaker 2>It is, except for me. It was always about the

0:24:23.619 --> 0:24:27.609
<v Speaker 2>name on the back. Actually, we didn't have our names

0:24:27.690 --> 0:24:28.110
<v Speaker 2>on the back.

0:24:29.609 --> 0:24:29.810
<v Speaker 4>Ever?

0:24:30.869 --> 0:24:32.050
<v Speaker 3>No, no.

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:34.310
<v Speaker 5>Oh, your coach was a team first guy?

0:24:35.830 --> 0:24:39.170
<v Speaker 3>He was not a me. No, I don't know about that.

0:24:40.590 --> 0:24:41.050
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Dylan.

0:24:41.490 --> 0:24:45.190
<v Speaker 8>We just had USA on the back. No, my favorite

0:24:45.250 --> 0:24:48.610
<v Speaker 8>is the baseball players when it's a really long last

0:24:48.630 --> 0:24:50.470
<v Speaker 8>name and it basically loops all the way around like

0:24:50.850 --> 0:24:51.730
<v Speaker 8>Garcia Parra.

0:24:51.830 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a little rainbow. Circular. Blake in New Orleans.

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Blake. What do you have for me today?

0:24:59.020 --> 0:24:59.540
<v Speaker 9>Hey, good morning.

0:24:59.580 --> 0:25:01.699
<v Speaker 10>I had a quick correction and then a best and

0:25:01.740 --> 0:25:04.919
<v Speaker 10>worst of the week. My quick correction is that in

0:25:04.980 --> 0:25:07.290
<v Speaker 10>case it changes how you feel about the Peyton to

0:25:07.350 --> 0:25:11.950
<v Speaker 10>Indy situation, is that his son actually plays Marshall Manning Jr. III,

0:25:11.990 --> 0:25:15.580
<v Speaker 10>plays football in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Oh, okay.

0:25:15.740 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thank you for that.

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:19.620
<v Speaker 10>And then my best of the week on that note,

0:25:19.740 --> 0:25:24.730
<v Speaker 10>my Tennessee volunteers dominating the once mighty Alabama Crimson Tide

0:25:24.810 --> 0:25:28.030
<v Speaker 10>whistle to whistle this weekend. And then my worst of

0:25:28.070 --> 0:25:30.270
<v Speaker 10>the week, I guess, would be the artist formerly known

0:25:30.330 --> 0:25:34.670
<v Speaker 10>as Ben Simmons missing another year. Is it over or over, over?

0:25:35.970 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's certainly over this year. And he was saying

0:25:40.380 --> 0:25:41.360
<v Speaker 3>all the right things.

0:25:45.230 --> 0:25:48.619
<v Speaker 2>That's just one of those 30 for 30s waiting to happen,

0:25:48.660 --> 0:25:49.300
<v Speaker 2>it feels like.

0:25:52.420 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you blow out your Achilles.

0:25:53.859 --> 0:25:55.940
<v Speaker 2>Is it just me, or does it feel like there's

0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:59.130
<v Speaker 2>more Achilles injuries in the last couple of years than

0:25:59.290 --> 0:25:59.909
<v Speaker 2>ever before?

0:26:00.030 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 3>I just don't remember. Now, I've been around it.

0:26:03.710 --> 0:26:05.750
<v Speaker 2>I played basketball with a guy who blew out both

0:26:05.810 --> 0:26:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Achilles at the same time, and it was like he

0:26:09.940 --> 0:26:13.090
<v Speaker 2>was shot. And we're like, oh, he's not coming back.

0:26:13.330 --> 0:26:15.670
<v Speaker 2>And he didn't come back from that. But now with

0:26:15.690 --> 0:26:18.810
<v Speaker 2>the medicine, I get it. But it feels like there's

0:26:19.050 --> 0:26:22.290
<v Speaker 2>there's more Achilles injuries than ever before.

0:26:22.890 --> 0:26:26.310
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was always ACL, MCL. Yes, Marv.

0:26:26.770 --> 0:26:29.010
<v Speaker 5>When I was a kid, I only remember Dominique Wilkins

0:26:29.330 --> 0:26:32.149
<v Speaker 5>tearing his Achilles. But now, like you just said, in

0:26:32.170 --> 0:26:37.449
<v Speaker 5>the past three years with Dame and Halliburton and Kevin Durant, it's.

0:26:38.300 --> 0:26:40.020
<v Speaker 5>Almost like the norm now, unfortunately.

0:26:40.260 --> 0:26:40.580
<v Speaker 6>Kobe.

0:26:41.300 --> 0:26:41.659
<v Speaker 5>Kobe?

0:26:41.940 --> 0:26:42.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Dylan.

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:45.719
<v Speaker 8>Which is kind of crazy because you would think the

0:26:45.780 --> 0:26:49.340
<v Speaker 8>technology just in shoes alone would prevent a lot of that. Like,

0:26:49.420 --> 0:26:51.380
<v Speaker 8>the guys who were wearing Converse back in the day,

0:26:51.420 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 8>I feel like I'd be like, oh, those things must

0:26:52.780 --> 0:26:54.060
<v Speaker 8>have been popping all the time.

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:58.159
<v Speaker 3>I remember you wear low-cut. Now, we would get our

0:26:58.220 --> 0:26:58.919
<v Speaker 3>ankles taped.

0:26:59.540 --> 0:27:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you put on those Chuck Taylor, try

0:27:01.460 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 2>playing a game of basketball with those Chuck Taylor high tops.

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:07.330
<v Speaker 7>You know, I.

0:27:09.450 --> 0:27:14.109
<v Speaker 2>Like the technology is so advanced, but back then, and guys,

0:27:14.390 --> 0:27:18.650
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember getting sprained ankles or anything, but there's

0:27:18.690 --> 0:27:20.310
<v Speaker 2>no support whatsoever.

0:27:20.369 --> 0:27:20.830
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Mark.

0:27:21.010 --> 0:27:22.730
<v Speaker 5>And you were getting buckets in those?

0:27:22.930 --> 0:27:25.970
<v Speaker 3>I was getting, I had high top black Chuck Taylors.

0:27:28.390 --> 0:27:29.570
<v Speaker 5>And they were like, damn, that Danny.

0:27:29.750 --> 0:27:30.010
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:27:31.570 --> 0:27:33.930
<v Speaker 5>They probably stopped talking like that at that.

0:27:33.820 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Point, but I know.

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:27:36.140 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 3>That white guy, he can shoot. Yes, Dylan.

0:27:39.580 --> 0:27:41.879
<v Speaker 8>Those hurt your feet to just stand around it.

0:27:44.180 --> 0:27:46.790
<v Speaker 3>When I hear people saying, oh, my feet hurt. I

0:27:46.810 --> 0:27:47.690
<v Speaker 3>got to get hokas.

0:27:48.250 --> 0:27:50.390
<v Speaker 2>I said, why don't you put on some Chuck Taylors

0:27:50.450 --> 0:27:52.389
<v Speaker 2>and tell me about your foot feet?

0:27:52.609 --> 0:27:53.790
<v Speaker 8>Grow up soft.

0:27:54.550 --> 0:27:55.149
<v Speaker 7>Yes, Marvin.

0:27:55.950 --> 0:27:57.550
<v Speaker 5>I would say that about Michael Jordan. Like, why is

0:27:57.570 --> 0:27:59.590
<v Speaker 5>he the best player ever? Because if you ever wore

0:27:59.609 --> 0:28:01.710
<v Speaker 5>a pair of Air Jordans, I was like, well, he's

0:28:01.730 --> 0:28:04.330
<v Speaker 5>scoring 35 points a night in those. These are hard

0:28:04.350 --> 0:28:06.070
<v Speaker 5>to walk in, let alone play in.

0:28:06.150 --> 0:28:11.420
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the ones. We're basically just Chuck Taylors.

0:28:11.619 --> 0:28:15.670
<v Speaker 3>They hurt. It was a great look.

0:28:15.910 --> 0:28:18.350
<v Speaker 2>You know, I go through this with my wife and

0:28:18.369 --> 0:28:22.369
<v Speaker 2>my kids, my daughters, that the shoes they wear look great,

0:28:23.470 --> 0:28:27.030
<v Speaker 2>but they're so uncomfortable. And I'm still trying to figure

0:28:27.070 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 2>that out. I was Sportscaster of the Year. We go

0:28:33.940 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 2>down to Salisbury, North Carolina, I believe it is. We

0:28:38.740 --> 0:28:42.060
<v Speaker 2>just get off the plane. We start walking. My wife goes,

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:44.260
<v Speaker 2>I can't walk.

0:28:44.820 --> 0:28:49.380
<v Speaker 3>I go, why? My feet hurt. We just got here.

0:28:49.860 --> 0:28:53.180
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know, I know. I said, well, what

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.220
<v Speaker 3>do you want me to do, carry you? And she goes,

0:28:55.960 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 3>can I take.

0:28:56.420 --> 0:28:57.040
<v Speaker 5>My shoes off?

0:28:57.100 --> 0:28:59.660
<v Speaker 2>I said, we're walking down. We're on a campus, a

0:28:59.700 --> 0:29:04.170
<v Speaker 2>college campus. So I said, why do you wear those shoes?

0:29:04.470 --> 0:29:05.950
<v Speaker 2>Because they look good.

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:08.700
<v Speaker 5>Love her.

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:13.660
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but my shoes, they're going to feel good.

0:29:14.420 --> 0:29:15.340
<v Speaker 3>They may not look good.

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:29:17.620 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you got my Air Jordans over there, Marv?

0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:24.459
<v Speaker 5>Michael Jordan scored 63 points against the 86 Celtics wearing these.

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 9>I know.

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:25.620
<v Speaker 3>Well, not those.

0:29:26.100 --> 0:29:26.460
<v Speaker 5>Not these.

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 3>But that model.

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:29.780
<v Speaker 5>I would never tell you. If Michael Jordan, I would

0:29:29.820 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 5>have been.

0:29:31.220 --> 0:29:31.580
<v Speaker 12>In my house.

0:29:31.980 --> 0:29:35.220
<v Speaker 2>I put those on recently, and I went, oh, my God.

0:29:36.580 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 2>It just hurt to walk around.

0:29:38.420 --> 0:29:38.830
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Dylan.

0:29:40.230 --> 0:29:44.250
<v Speaker 8>The the girls like to wear high heels and to

0:29:44.290 --> 0:29:46.110
<v Speaker 8>go into like New York or something like that. We're

0:29:46.130 --> 0:29:48.630
<v Speaker 8>going to be walking around and I'm always like, I

0:29:48.970 --> 0:29:50.850
<v Speaker 8>just trust me. You're not going to want to do that.

0:29:50.870 --> 0:29:53.250
<v Speaker 8>It's your funeral. And then five minutes later, every time

0:29:53.290 --> 0:29:54.670
<v Speaker 8>it's like my feet are killing me.

0:29:55.610 --> 0:29:57.170
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the first things I noticed when I

0:29:57.210 --> 0:29:59.930
<v Speaker 2>got to New York City. that women would be in

0:29:59.990 --> 0:30:03.410
<v Speaker 2>tennis shoes going to work. And then they would have

0:30:03.450 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 2>their dress shoes in a bag. They'd get to work,

0:30:07.020 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 2>change the shoes, and then they'd wear, you know, the

0:30:09.900 --> 0:30:11.300
<v Speaker 2>nice shoes walking around.

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 3>I went, okay, you guys are smart.

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 8>Heads up play.

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, absolutely. Patrick in Minnesota. Hi, Patrick. What do you

0:30:18.740 --> 0:30:19.420
<v Speaker 3>have for me today?

0:30:21.380 --> 0:30:23.830
<v Speaker 9>So you've mentioned a couple times, oh, 6'2, 41, by

0:30:23.850 --> 0:30:24.190
<v Speaker 9>the way.

0:30:24.250 --> 0:30:24.410
<v Speaker 6>Yep.

0:30:28.070 --> 0:30:30.420
<v Speaker 9>Thanks for taking my call. You've mentioned a couple times

0:30:30.460 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 9>you don't see the value of having full-time NFL referees,

0:30:34.300 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 9>and I have to disagree by saying.

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:42.270
<v Speaker 9>If you continue to practice your craft, you will inevitably

0:30:42.330 --> 0:30:44.310
<v Speaker 9>get better at that craft. I think there's a direct

0:30:44.370 --> 0:30:47.790
<v Speaker 9>parallel with NFL football players. The more they see film,

0:30:47.830 --> 0:30:49.650
<v Speaker 9>the more they practice, the more reps they do, the

0:30:49.670 --> 0:30:51.890
<v Speaker 9>better they get. You can equate it in any walk

0:30:51.910 --> 0:30:54.060
<v Speaker 9>of life. You're amazing at what you do because you

0:30:54.100 --> 0:30:56.700
<v Speaker 9>put all the detailed work into it and you constantly

0:30:56.740 --> 0:31:00.180
<v Speaker 9>work at it. I think if the NFL referees... only

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:04.220
<v Speaker 9>did that, there would be an inevitable improvement in their performance.

0:31:04.420 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 9>It's never going to be perfect. They're going to miss calls.

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:10.020
<v Speaker 9>But I think the more they do it, the better

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:11.940
<v Speaker 9>they would get at it. And I think that's just

0:31:13.070 --> 0:31:15.630
<v Speaker 9>across the board in every walk of life, I think.

0:31:15.990 --> 0:31:20.130
<v Speaker 2>Well, and thank you, Patrick. In fairness to the officials,

0:31:20.490 --> 0:31:25.590
<v Speaker 2>the rules change constantly. Open to interpretation. Remember, what was

0:31:25.610 --> 0:31:30.410
<v Speaker 2>the catch? Like, Is being full-time, is that going to

0:31:30.450 --> 0:31:34.250
<v Speaker 2>help you? Maybe you'll understand what a catch is, but

0:31:34.270 --> 0:31:35.850
<v Speaker 2>you have to see it in real time.

0:31:37.350 --> 0:31:38.950
<v Speaker 3>Think about baseball.

0:31:39.530 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 2>If you're behind home plate, there's only a certain window

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:44.810
<v Speaker 2>you have to be aware of.

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:45.500
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

0:31:47.380 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 2>But if you're an official, what am I looking at?

0:31:50.500 --> 0:31:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Who am I looking at? How many players am I

0:31:52.780 --> 0:31:53.180
<v Speaker 2>looking at?

0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:54.380
<v Speaker 11>Pass interference.

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:55.140
<v Speaker 3>Pass interference.

0:31:56.090 --> 0:31:58.090
<v Speaker 2>What do you allow? Not allow holding. You can call

0:31:58.130 --> 0:32:01.590
<v Speaker 2>holding on every single play. But now I can only

0:32:01.630 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 2>go by. I have a great friend who's a Big

0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:06.820
<v Speaker 2>Ten official and I have a friend who is a

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:10.860
<v Speaker 2>former NFL official. And I've asked them if you were

0:32:10.900 --> 0:32:14.600
<v Speaker 2>made full time. They were like, well, the NFL season

0:32:14.660 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 2>is only the season. Now, what do we do after that?

0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:21.150
<v Speaker 2>Watching film or you can watch a scrimmage. It's not

0:32:21.230 --> 0:32:25.570
<v Speaker 2>the same. So I'm only going by what they've told me,

0:32:25.730 --> 0:32:27.290
<v Speaker 2>and they're on the front lines.

0:32:28.270 --> 0:32:28.770
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Dylan?

0:32:29.350 --> 0:32:31.410
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, why would you expect them to not have another

0:32:31.490 --> 0:32:34.740
<v Speaker 8>job when, so what, just in the offseason, they're supposed

0:32:34.780 --> 0:32:37.840
<v Speaker 8>to officiate games in their head for six months? I

0:32:38.260 --> 0:32:40.460
<v Speaker 8>don't understand the argument, really.

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:45.270
<v Speaker 2>And you'll find NFL referees or college football referees who

0:32:45.290 --> 0:32:49.410
<v Speaker 2>will do college basketball in the offseason. But that doesn't

0:32:49.470 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 2>help you. I mean, even calling basketball, which isn't anywhere

0:32:55.900 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 2>near what the college or NFL, nothing like that. Because

0:33:00.780 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 2>you can kind of get a sense. And one call

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:08.070
<v Speaker 2>doesn't normally decide a basketball game. One call can decide

0:33:08.270 --> 0:33:11.110
<v Speaker 2>a football game, as you saw this weekend. Take a break.

0:33:11.170 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 2>More phone calls coming up. We'll update the poll results

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:16.740
<v Speaker 2>as well. We're back after this.

0:33:17.060 --> 0:33:19.970
<v Speaker 1>Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

0:33:19.990 --> 0:33:24.830
<v Speaker 1>the nation. Catch all of our shows at FoxSportsRadio.com. And

<v Speaker 1>within the iHeartRadio app, search FSR to listen live.

0:33:28.930 --> 0:33:31.620
<v Speaker 2>So I just heard from one of my referee friends.

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 2>He's an official. He does Big Ten games. He says,

0:33:35.740 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 2>watching the show, not sure how to respond. Watching the

0:33:38.220 --> 0:33:41.140
<v Speaker 2>game on TV, slow-mo replays, a whole lot easier than

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:44.570
<v Speaker 2>in reality. These plays are played at 100 miles per

0:33:44.610 --> 0:33:48.410
<v Speaker 2>hour by absolutely unbelievable athletes. Yeah, I don't know if

0:33:48.470 --> 0:33:50.430
<v Speaker 2>being a full-time, I don't even know what that means,

0:33:50.490 --> 0:33:54.610
<v Speaker 2>being a full-time official. You're going to go to school

0:33:54.690 --> 0:34:00.070
<v Speaker 2>and classrooms and simulations and diagrams, and you're going to

0:34:00.110 --> 0:34:02.870
<v Speaker 2>have a training table. You're going to, I don't know.

0:34:04.310 --> 0:34:06.580
<v Speaker 2>Like a sleepaway camp for referees?

0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Dylan.

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.700
<v Speaker 8>Even home plate umps. It's like, why don't you get

0:34:10.739 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 8>back there and try and judge a 96-mile-an-hour slider if

0:34:14.620 --> 0:34:16.279
<v Speaker 8>it was a strike or a ball or not? Like,

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:18.810
<v Speaker 8>that's not a small task.

0:34:19.330 --> 0:34:22.170
<v Speaker 3>No, but it has to fit in this red box.

0:34:22.950 --> 0:34:27.489
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. That's a whole lot easier than calling pass interference

0:34:27.989 --> 0:34:28.390
<v Speaker 2>in a game.

0:34:28.530 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but it's still tough. I mean, it fools hitters.

0:34:31.650 --> 0:34:32.149
<v Speaker 8>All the time.

0:34:32.350 --> 0:34:36.310
<v Speaker 2>No, but you are just sitting there. The ball comes

0:34:36.370 --> 0:34:38.630
<v Speaker 2>to you. You don't have to chase it down the field.

0:34:39.050 --> 0:34:42.270
<v Speaker 2>It's right there. It's either in that box or it's not.

0:34:43.230 --> 0:34:45.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, I know being an umpire, certainly behind

0:34:45.739 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 2>a home plate, it's challenging. But in football, you're running

0:34:50.820 --> 0:34:54.380
<v Speaker 2>with them. That home plate umpire is just sitting behind

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:57.330
<v Speaker 2>a catcher. And it's got to fit in that window.

0:34:57.670 --> 0:35:00.330
<v Speaker 2>And if it does, strike. And if it's not, ball.

0:35:00.670 --> 0:35:03.980
<v Speaker 2>And then you have automated balls and strikes to remind

0:35:04.020 --> 0:35:05.219
<v Speaker 2>you if you got it right or not.

0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:05.739
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Dylan.

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:08.739
<v Speaker 8>Where do we rank hockey linesmen on the list of

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:10.740
<v Speaker 8>tough officiating? Because they're doing it on skates.

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:15.299
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but how many calls are you making? Yes, it's

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:19.110
<v Speaker 2>on skates. But they let them play.

0:35:18.910 --> 0:35:19.590
<v Speaker 3>Through a lot.

0:35:19.989 --> 0:35:26.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. I... Offside, some close offsides.

0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:27.819
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I can understand that.

0:35:29.140 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 2>But, you know, being a college or pro football official

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:36.920
<v Speaker 2>might be the toughest.

0:35:38.510 --> 0:35:38.890
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I do.

0:35:39.010 --> 0:35:41.550
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think it's also because and we've talked about this.

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:44.830
<v Speaker 8>There's for a sport with so much science involved in it.

0:35:44.850 --> 0:35:47.770
<v Speaker 8>There's so much subjectivity for all of these calls. It's

0:35:47.790 --> 0:35:50.870
<v Speaker 8>like a lot of them are even still concretely defined.

0:35:51.130 --> 0:35:53.170
<v Speaker 8>So one, you have to get it right. And two,

0:35:53.310 --> 0:35:55.740
<v Speaker 8>you have to interpret. And at that point in time.

0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:58.520
<v Speaker 3>And then you get this, Oh, was that a football move?

0:35:59.460 --> 0:35:59.660
<v Speaker 10>Huh?

0:36:00.920 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 3>I got, how do I interpret that?

0:36:04.420 --> 0:36:06.990
<v Speaker 2>Am I going to go to school in my off

0:36:07.050 --> 0:36:10.799
<v Speaker 2>season here being a full-time official? I mean, I'd love

0:36:10.820 --> 0:36:14.850
<v Speaker 2>for them to get paid as a full-time job, but

0:36:14.910 --> 0:36:16.910
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if, what do you do in the

0:36:16.969 --> 0:36:22.390
<v Speaker 2>off season? We watch film and it doesn't replicate when

0:36:22.430 --> 0:36:25.969
<v Speaker 2>you're in the moment right there. Like, you can't go,

0:36:26.390 --> 0:36:29.890
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, was that a pass interference on BYU

0:36:29.989 --> 0:36:33.460
<v Speaker 2>against Notre Dame? Well, I remember watching a video.

0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:35.660
<v Speaker 3>You've got to call right now.

0:36:36.480 --> 0:36:36.959
<v Speaker 7>Yes, Dylan.

0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:40.440
<v Speaker 8>One of my favorites is intentional grounding still, because essentially

0:36:40.460 --> 0:36:42.940
<v Speaker 8>it's like, was there someone in the general vicinity?

0:36:43.460 --> 0:36:43.720
<v Speaker 4>Sure.

0:36:45.580 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 12>I guess.

0:36:46.580 --> 0:36:47.540
<v Speaker 3>Was he out of the pocket?

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:50.180
<v Speaker 8>Out of the pocket, general receiver in the general vicinity.

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:50.279
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

0:36:51.270 --> 0:36:52.850
<v Speaker 3>Here's another thing to keep in mind.

0:36:52.890 --> 0:36:55.410
<v Speaker 2>I know Kirk Herbstreet went off on Notre Dame in

0:36:55.430 --> 0:36:58.330
<v Speaker 2>their schedule on College Game Day.

0:36:59.840 --> 0:37:01.700
<v Speaker 3>What if some other schools.

0:37:02.260 --> 0:37:06.140
<v Speaker 2>Now, I do think scheduling Notre Dame might be more

0:37:06.180 --> 0:37:10.340
<v Speaker 2>attractive with a 2014 playoff. You might get better games

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 2>because you can schedule Notre Dame. And it may not

0:37:14.300 --> 0:37:19.900
<v Speaker 2>hurt you that much. How about other schools going independent?

0:37:23.700 --> 0:37:26.340
<v Speaker 2>Could you see? Imagine Ohio State saying we're going to

0:37:26.660 --> 0:37:28.620
<v Speaker 2>be independent. I'm just throwing out.

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:35.580
<v Speaker 3>Or Texas. We're going to go independent here. You got

0:37:35.620 --> 0:37:38.430
<v Speaker 3>a TV deal. Can you get your own? You know,

0:37:38.450 --> 0:37:38.750
<v Speaker 3>they had.

0:37:38.730 --> 0:37:41.810
<v Speaker 2>Longhorn Network before. Well, that was a long time ago.

0:37:41.870 --> 0:37:46.230
<v Speaker 2>But I just wonder, are you going to have independent contractors, basically?

0:37:46.989 --> 0:37:49.489
<v Speaker 2>And then who are you going to schedule your games with?

0:37:50.390 --> 0:37:53.190
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where we're going, but it's not stopping.

0:37:54.210 --> 0:37:59.410
<v Speaker 2>It's what happens after 2014 playoff. Because I do think

0:37:59.450 --> 0:38:01.070
<v Speaker 2>this is a fluid topic.

0:38:01.250 --> 0:38:02.169
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Ray?

0:38:02.310 --> 0:38:03.950
<v Speaker 11>It can definitely be more of a thing, too, when

0:38:03.969 --> 0:38:06.360
<v Speaker 11>they eliminate the conference title games because that was a

0:38:06.390 --> 0:38:08.440
<v Speaker 11>big boost for being in a conference is you get

0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:11.540
<v Speaker 11>to play Alabama. And then if you win, you're like,

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:13.279
<v Speaker 11>all right, you're in the playoff now. But if you

0:38:13.300 --> 0:38:13.940
<v Speaker 11>eliminate that.

0:38:15.300 --> 0:38:18.620
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're eliminating that. But that was such a financial

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:22.170
<v Speaker 2>windfall for the SEC. It was $ 100 million. They're like,

0:38:22.670 --> 0:38:24.840
<v Speaker 2>got to get rid of that. And they have to

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.440
<v Speaker 2>cap the number of games that you could possibly play

0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:30.140
<v Speaker 2>if you're a college student. I think we've got to

0:38:30.180 --> 0:38:32.859
<v Speaker 2>be fair. Is it going to be 15? Is that

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:34.080
<v Speaker 2>the most you could play?

0:38:36.730 --> 0:38:40.029
<v Speaker 3>Let's see. Gibbs in Virginia Beach. Hi, Gibbs. Welcome back.

0:38:41.650 --> 0:38:42.910
<v Speaker 7>Great to talk to you again, D.P.

0:38:43.890 --> 0:38:46.010
<v Speaker 12>I hope I can get through this call without making

0:38:46.030 --> 0:38:48.170
<v Speaker 12>a fool of myself. I'm going on about two hours

0:38:48.230 --> 0:38:51.570
<v Speaker 12>of sleep in the last 96. But I got a best, bester,

0:38:52.290 --> 0:38:55.070
<v Speaker 12>and an equator story for you real quick. Best of

0:38:55.090 --> 0:38:59.060
<v Speaker 12>the weekend, those Carolina Tar Heels, man, looking really good.

0:38:59.219 --> 0:39:04.480
<v Speaker 12>Bill Belichick getting a win in Wallace Wade against Duke,

0:39:04.540 --> 0:39:08.279
<v Speaker 12>taking home the victory bell. And the best are the

0:39:08.320 --> 0:39:12.940
<v Speaker 12>newest member of DP Nation, Jordan Mays, to be known

0:39:13.060 --> 0:39:20.330
<v Speaker 12>as Jordy May. Height, 20 and a half inches, seven pounds,

0:39:20.430 --> 0:39:23.590
<v Speaker 12>three ounces, was born this weekend.

0:39:23.610 --> 0:39:24.470
<v Speaker 7>Awesome.

0:39:24.530 --> 0:39:28.310
<v Speaker 12>My wife is such a champion. And a quick equator

0:39:28.330 --> 0:39:30.660
<v Speaker 12>story for you, Dan. I know you talked about it

0:39:30.700 --> 0:39:33.260
<v Speaker 12>a couple of times. I told the midwife I was

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:35.969
<v Speaker 12>staying north of the equator, didn't want any part of it.

0:39:37.489 --> 0:39:40.330
<v Speaker 12>And then halfway through, she said, why don't you grab

0:39:40.370 --> 0:39:45.319
<v Speaker 12>an ankle? And I almost passed out and had to,

0:39:45.380 --> 0:39:48.060
<v Speaker 12>you know, sit down for a little bit. But, you know,

0:39:48.100 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 12>my wife is the real MVP.

0:39:49.989 --> 0:39:54.649
<v Speaker 2>Well, congratulations, Gibbs. By the way, a friend of mine

0:39:54.690 --> 0:39:56.730
<v Speaker 2>just said this and sent this to me. Don't forget,

0:39:56.810 --> 0:40:02.170
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame was only playing BYU because USC canceled the

0:40:02.210 --> 0:40:03.050
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame series.

0:40:05.590 --> 0:40:06.770
<v Speaker 3>Liz in Savannah.

0:40:06.790 --> 0:40:07.350
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Liz.

0:40:07.390 --> 0:40:07.850
<v Speaker 3>What do you have?

0:40:09.050 --> 0:40:09.660
<v Speaker 12>Hey, Dan.

0:40:09.739 --> 0:40:16.630
<v Speaker 16>First time, long time, 52115. I'm sitting here with my husband, Andrew.

0:40:16.710 --> 0:40:18.630
<v Speaker 16>We're on our way back home from our wedding. We

0:40:18.650 --> 0:40:20.010
<v Speaker 16>just got married on Saturday.

0:40:20.430 --> 0:40:21.049
<v Speaker 13>Who has it.

0:40:21.010 --> 0:40:24.689
<v Speaker 3>Better than we do? Nobody.

0:40:25.670 --> 0:40:27.230
<v Speaker 16>We wanted to call in and see if you had

0:40:27.290 --> 0:40:29.810
<v Speaker 16>any advice for us for a long and happy marriage.

0:40:29.969 --> 0:40:32.859
<v Speaker 16>And then from Fritzy, anything he can speak on from

0:40:32.910 --> 0:40:39.820
<v Speaker 16>experience that we shouldn't do in our marriage.

0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Humor, patience. Start with that.

0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:44.120
<v Speaker 5>Respect.

0:40:45.060 --> 0:40:48.490
<v Speaker 3>You respect your partner. You have a sense of humor.

0:40:48.930 --> 0:40:53.110
<v Speaker 5>You have patience. Yes, Marv. Don't disregard the other person's feelings.

0:40:53.130 --> 0:40:55.170
<v Speaker 5>Something might be small to them is big to you.

0:40:55.230 --> 0:40:55.669
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Todd.

0:40:55.710 --> 0:41:00.380
<v Speaker 5>And keep sarcasm and passive-aggressive behavior to a minimum. That

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:01.460
<v Speaker 5>never goes well with the wife.

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 8>It just doesn't.

0:41:02.060 --> 0:41:02.850
<v Speaker 5>I mean, how clever it is.

0:41:02.880 --> 0:41:05.500

0:41:17.170 --> 0:41:17.710
<v Speaker 2>on your baby.

0:41:19.489 --> 0:41:19.870
<v Speaker 3>We did it.

0:41:20.390 --> 0:41:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Made it through a Monday. Have a great day, everybody.

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Look forward to chatting with you tomorrow.
