1 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: Championship windows. We want to talk about championship windows. I'm 2 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: not sure everyone knows how a window works when it's closed. 3 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: It's closed, and by my understanding, it least you can't 4 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: open them back up. So you better be sure when 5 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: you say a window is closed, something is absolutely one 6 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: hundred percent done. This pod is just getting started. It 7 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: is the Laky Extra Podcast. This is what is Thursday. 8 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: We're all backwards because of scheduling this week. It's Thursday. 9 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: It is let me check the eye, Josh, the April twentieth, 10 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: you have our Lord, twenty twenty three. I'm down in 11 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: Harris County, Georgia right now. I got to speaking engagement 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: as you were listening to this later tonight, and I 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: am very excited for it. It is as documented earlier 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: this week my college which I was once on academic 15 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: expulsion from and in the true comeback story of our time, 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: I am now doing a major speaking event at said college, 17 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: Columbus State University. For those keeping tracks, so appreciate them 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: for having me. But that doesn't have anything to do 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: with what I just said. Windows, more specifically, championship windows. 20 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: We know the concept, right, You got this finite amount 21 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: of time where you're in a sweet spot and you've 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: got a good staff and the rest of the sport 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: is lined up. You get a good roster, you're recruiting. Well, no, 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: NCAA clouds lingering over your program. Well, voila. You have 25 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: a window. You could win one title, you could win 26 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: seven titles. You just you better get to work because 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: those windows they don't stay open forever. Well, in the 28 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: spirit of the Late Kick ast podcast where we take 29 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: nothing but questions at Late Kick, Josh, if you want 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: to submit one one of our many, many, many thousands 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: of friends of the program, t dub hit us up 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: from Charlotte, North Carolina, and he asked about the window. 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: He said, has Clemson's championship window closed? Well, of course 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: it hasn't closed. If I were to answer yes, that 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: would mean I am ninety nine point nine to nine 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: nine percent sure they're incapable of winning another title under 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: the current structure. Dabo is the head coach basically, And no, 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: that hasn't closed. If it closed, what closed? It is? 39 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: Your answer? The last couple of years, last couple of years, 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: they still won double digit games. Last couple of years 41 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: they've recruited a five star quarterback. Last couple of years, 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: they've gotten the highest profile offensive coordinator candidate in America 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: to come in there. Last couple of years, there's been 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: no roster turmoil, there's been no NCAA turmoil. The head 45 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: coach is still there. So basically, I'm just citing the 46 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: levels of the pyramid that you need in place for 47 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: your window to be open. Clemson's window is certainly open. 48 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: That doesn't guarantee you anything, but it also it does 49 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: guarantee you one thing. It guarantees you will have the 50 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: opportunity to take your shot every year. Most teams aren't 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: in a window like that. Most teams don't have a 52 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: championship window. By that, I mean national championship. Certainly, if 53 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: Baylor has a nice year this year, they could win 54 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. I don't think many people would say 55 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: Baylor University has a national championship window open right now, 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: but we'd say it about Clemson because they do. I 57 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: meant to make a point on a show the other night, 58 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: By the way, I just remembered it now, and I 59 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: don't have it written in front of me, but you 60 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: know what I do have. I do have the Internet 61 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: in front of me, so just hold on a second. Okay, 62 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: I got it all right. We've got just startling evidence here, 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: startling evidence that I used to support my theory that 64 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: Clemson's window is still open. So what if I told 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: you a guy had won three national championships at a 66 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: program sounds kind of like Dabo. Dabo's won two, But 67 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: this coach had won three national championships. Okay, and let's 68 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: just apply this to modern day standards. After winning those championships, 69 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: he had a two loss season, then he had a 70 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: three loss season, then he had a five loss season, 71 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: then he had another five los season. Those all were 72 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: in a row two, three, five, five. What would you 73 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: think of that head coach? You would think the window 74 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: is closed. You would think the sport has passed him by. 75 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: You would think he didn't evolve, People have adjusted to him. 76 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: You know what you would say? I may be tempted 77 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: to say the same thing I am describing to you. 78 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: Paul bear Bryant's nineteen sixty seven, sixty eight, sixty nine, 79 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: and seventy teams at Alabama. He went on to win 80 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: three more national championships in the nineteen seventies. He won Well, 81 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: let's see, it's easier for me to tell you what 82 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: he lost the next decade combined he lost one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 83 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: ten eleven games. Yeah, math checks out. I don't even 84 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: have stats and info with me today. Math checks out, though. 85 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: So he lost ten combined games in those two years 86 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: sixty nine to seventy. Then he lost eleven games the 87 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: next decade. How lovely. They also introduced something called the 88 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: wishbone at that point in time in Tuscalooso. Fairly significant 89 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: occurrence in the history of college football. So anyway, I 90 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: draw it back to Daboswiny, people certainly would have said, 91 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: if we were to apply mob and day standards to 92 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: that stretch of Bryant's career at Alabama, people would say, 93 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: the windows closed. Look, I don't even have to take 94 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: you back that far. Think about the head coach at 95 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: Alabama now, Nick Saban, back in twenty fourteen or fifteen, 96 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: when they got beat by Ole Miss. Half the sport, 97 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: half the media that covers the sport even then said 98 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: uh oh, Alabama's window is closed. Now, to their credit, 99 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: a lot of them have come out and apologize, talked 100 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: about how wrong they were because Saban forced them to 101 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: with winning multiple additional titles in his own right. So no, 102 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: Nick Davos, twenty's window is not closed, not closed it 103 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: Clemson at all. Next up, we got Mike. He is 104 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: from Lakeland, Florida. He said, if there's one program nobody 105 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: thinks about now that could in twenty years see a 106 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: drastic rise in prestige, who would it be. His example 107 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: would be Oregon in the late nineties. He also said 108 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: his best bet would be UNLV. Interesting choice there. I'm 109 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: gonna go a lot closer to you, Mike. I'm gonna 110 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: say Central Florida, and I don't have to wait twenty years. 111 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: I think we're on the prespice of them being in 112 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: that here's that word again, that window really right now, 113 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: starting right now, you've got power five access. Here's the 114 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: thought I have on this. So Central Florida is not 115 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: a no name brand. People know them. They've even gotten 116 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: themselves mixed up in championship conversations in the past. Now, 117 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: to their credit, they've done a good job injecting themselves 118 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: into that championship conversation by any means necessary. But they've 119 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: done it. But now they have what people told them 120 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: they didn't have back then, including me and that is 121 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: powerfive access. I told them back then, I don't care 122 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: if you go undefeated. I don't think you should qualify 123 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: for being in that championship conversation because, out of your control, 124 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: your strength of schedule is not good enough. So it 125 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't matter if you want every game a million to nothing. 126 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: I don't think the strength of your schedule meets the 127 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: minimum baseline requirement that I have to insert you into. 128 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: The conversation had nothing to do with you. It had 129 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: everything to do with your surroundings. Well, now they've addressed that, 130 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: so they can look back at me and say, we 131 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: changed our surroundings. Now what, And I'd say, welcome to 132 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: the party. Go take care of your business. And if 133 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: they do, Central Florida is in a conference that allows 134 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: them to have that legitimacy. They're also in a conference 135 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: where no one else has access to what they have 136 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: access to, and that is recruiting Florida. You can come 137 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: down here if you want to. If you're in Nebraska, 138 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: you could do that if you want to, if you're 139 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, but you're certainly not going to have the 140 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: built in advantage that a team parked in Orlando, Florida 141 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: has and it's also not a program that dabbles in football. 142 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: Central Florida is very serious about football. This has been 143 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: one of my go tos ever since someone put a 144 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: microphone in front of me down in Columbus, Georgia, where 145 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: I almost currently am right now. Back in two thousand 146 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: and what was it twelve or thirteen, one of my 147 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: most favorite segments to do was this segment where we 148 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: look ahead in time and we see college football maybe 149 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: changing its landscape. Didn't know how. As it turns out, 150 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: we really didn't know how, but in principle we were right. 151 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: And I would always say, hey, Central Florida is not 152 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: on the national radar right now, but if you combine 153 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: what it would take for a program to pop on 154 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: the radar, they've got what it takes because they had 155 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: access to a big media market and they also had 156 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: geographical relevance, and they're serious about football, and they have 157 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: been long before now, and I thought that they always 158 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: made sense for a conference to go scoop up now. 159 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: Back then, I thought it may be the ACC or 160 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: the SEC. It turns out it was the Big Twelve. 161 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: But my point remains. Now they're in a position where 162 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: the next twenty years could sound way different. People who 163 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: are twenty five years old in the year twenty forty 164 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: three may have lived an entire lifetime like a young 165 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: childhood and early adulthood full of Central Florida being a 166 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: mainstay in the regular national college football conversation. Now what 167 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: a world that may be? Greg Gorrio, I assume I 168 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: have the pronunciation right. He's next up from Albertville, Alabama. 169 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: He asked, could Auburn be this year's LSU surprising everyone 170 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: with the West title and winning at least nine games? 171 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: My answer is no, I don't think they could be. 172 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: I also understand history, and I understand the years Auburn 173 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: does pop big years on you happens to be the 174 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: same years where everyone says that in the preseason, no, 175 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: this can't be the year. So I know the history 176 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: of Auburn football. But at the same time, I also 177 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: know what they do and don't have, and what you 178 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: do need in order to at least put yourself in 179 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: that conversation LSU. Going into last year, certainly I did 180 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: not expect a ten win season from I certainly didn't 181 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: expect them to win the West. But what we did 182 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: know is they had recruited pretty well. They especially recruited 183 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: some really good players on their defensive line. Now, maybe 184 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: they'd been underutilized, or maybe they hadn't achieved to their 185 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: full potential, but that's what you're looking for. If you're 186 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: looking for a sleeper team to come out of nowhere, 187 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: you're looking for some underutilized position groups, and you're looking 188 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: for some unrealized potential both individually and then collectively within 189 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: a team. Well, LSU had that, and they were certainly 190 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: bringing in a head coach who understood how to get 191 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: the most out of a team. In my opinion, not 192 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: all of you agree with that about Brian Kelly, but 193 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: I think that about him. So Hugh free he's coming 194 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: in to Auburn, I don't know for a couple of 195 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: reasons if I would put them in that kind of conversation. 196 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: The first one is recruiting ed Orgeron. For all of 197 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: his faults, he had a staff that had busted their 198 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: tail trying to get the best talent in the country 199 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: on campus, and in some cases they had succeeded so 200 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: that even when their coaching staff got fired, you still 201 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: had really good players there. I don't think Hugh Freeze 202 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: is inheriting that kind of stocked cupboard or even semi 203 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: stocked cupboard at Auburn. The second thing is when Brian 204 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: Kelly came into LSU, he had a couple of quarterbacks 205 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: down there, and then he brought Jaden Daniels into where 206 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: they could create a three man race at quarterback. Last spring, 207 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: Remember it was nuss Meyer, it was Walker Howard who transferred, 208 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: he since transferred, and it was Jaden Daniels who ultimately 209 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: won the job. Well, that was three times better than 210 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: what Auburn's dealing with right now. Those are three options 211 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: that all would be better than any option Auburn has 212 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: on their roster at quarterback. So short of Hugh Freeze 213 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: going into the portal over the next couple of weeks, 214 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: ten days, however long we have left and finding a 215 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: difference maker at quarterback, I cannot put Auburn in that 216 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: kind of conversation. Cody. Next up, he asks a deep 217 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: question that I think is unanswerable for me. He said, 218 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: what's the best fried chicken in a college town? Pops 219 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: to monkst Us would know where I could find this. 220 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: He's from Tulsa. Maybe it's in Tulsa for all I 221 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: know I don't eat fried chicken. Now let me pause 222 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: so all of you can yell at me. Unnecessarily. I 223 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: eat plenty of chicken. I just don't eat fried chicken. 224 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: And what I should really say is I don't eat 225 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: the skin on fried chicken, because, as we know, once 226 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: you get past the skin, it's all just chicken. But 227 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: I have so matured in my life. Let me tell 228 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: you a quick little story. Little JP love fried chicken, 229 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: and little JP love fried chicken because when his parents 230 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: weren't looking, he would peel the skin off, eat the skin, 231 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: and not eat the actual chicken, which, as we know, 232 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: is an early sign of a sociopath. But I changed 233 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: my ways. I course corrected at age seven or eight, 234 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: and then I just ate the whole chicken and watch 235 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: the evolutionary process here. Then one day I realized I 236 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: don't really like this. I'm not gonna eat it at all. 237 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: And now I don't eat fried chicken at all. What 238 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: a story, right, one of the greatest stories ever told. 239 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: There just fascinating. It's like watching me go from caterpillar 240 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: to chrysalis to butterfly. I do eat a lot of chicken, though, 241 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: dan Orlovsky, the other day was taking a fair amount 242 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: of heat, and I thought it was unfair because he 243 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: was talking about how he eats chicken breast and that's it. 244 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: And I realized, wait a second, that's what I do. 245 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: Because what I do after I go to the gym, 246 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: which is around mid morning every day if I'm in Nashville. 247 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: So I go to the gym, and then there's a 248 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: publix that is underground in downtown Nashville. There's a publix. 249 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: And when I say underground, I don't mean on the low. 250 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: I don't mean a secret publix. I mean you got 251 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: to go underground to get to the publics. It's that 252 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: way sometimes in major cities. So I go over there 253 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: and I will get me a rotisserie chicken and usually 254 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: go into the office. I end up eating the rotissrie 255 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: chicken bare handed. That also reminds me of the story 256 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: of how I negotiated my contract with a rotissriy chicken 257 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: in my hand and no shirt on. I'll tell you 258 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: that one in a second too. But what I do 259 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: now as I go in and I peel the skin 260 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: off of that rotisserie chicken. So it doesn't matter if 261 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: it's lemon flavor or barbecue. It doesn't matter. I don't 262 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: get any of that because it's just flavoring in the skin, 263 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: So it's irrelevant what flavor it is. Oh man, they're 264 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: out of lemon pepper. Who cares. I don't taste it, 265 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: so I peel the skin off. Then here's where me 266 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: and Orlovsky kind of overlap. I don't eat the legs anymore. 267 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: I give that to junior director Bradley. He knows he 268 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: smells that chicken. He comes in there, I say, hear 269 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: your legs, Bradley. Thanks. Then he goes back in the 270 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: editing bay for another hour until it's time to play 271 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: Ping pong. So I just eat the breast. I ate 272 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: the chicken breast. That's it, and I am all the 273 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: healthier for it. People would make fun of me, and 274 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, a, yeah, have fun dying fifty years before me. 275 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be over here at age one hundred and 276 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: thirty saying, man, this is delicious chicken breast. And you're 277 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: gonna be saying nothing because I'm going to visit you 278 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: later in the cemetery. So I don't apologize for my lifestyle. 279 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: Having said that, here's a quick little story for you. 280 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: We've been hearing a lot about Jalen Hurts and how 281 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: his agent, Nicole Lynn and the crew over there at 282 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: Clutch they executed the biggest deal in NFL history. And 283 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: then we've heard the other stories about folks like Lamar 284 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: Jackson doesn't have an agent. I'm not hating on him, 285 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: you know why, because I don't have an agent either. 286 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: I represent myself and I work at a great company, 287 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: and I've got a great deal and I've got everything 288 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: that I could want. So it's worked out well for me. 289 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: We'll see how it works out for Lamar. But if 290 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is listening and he wants any advice, probably 291 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: don't listen to me. Because here's how I went about 292 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: it the last time I finalized a contract. Here's how 293 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: it went. Obviously there had been some legwork to get 294 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: to this point, months of it, but here's how it 295 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: finally went down. I was at a state park in Tennessee. 296 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: That place will remain nameless because I want to keep 297 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: it uncrowded. I was at a state park. I was 298 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: out there and I got a call from we'll call 299 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: him Executive P. And Executive P calls me up and 300 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: he says, hey, Hey, what are you doing? And I said, 301 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: you really want to know what I'm doing? Executive P. 302 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: He says absolutely. I said, well, I am walking around shirtless, 303 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: eating a rotisserie chicken with my bare hands in a 304 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: state park. And Executive P, without hesitation, said, been there 305 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: many times? Brother? Excuse me? Yeah, yeah, been there many times, brother, 306 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: which clearly, if you know Executive P like I do, 307 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: means he was not paying a bit of attention to 308 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: what I had said. His mind had already shifted forward 309 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: to what we were about to talk about. I could 310 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: have said I'm juggling flaming bowling pins in the middle 311 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: of a chuck e cheese and I would have gotten 312 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: a been there many times, brother, chucky cheese. I'm so 313 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: sick of tucky cheese. So we proceeded to hammer out 314 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: my deal right there in the middle of the state park, 315 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: shirtless chicken, grease all over the place. That's how you 316 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: negotiate kids, That is how you negotiate James is next 317 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: up from Columbus, Ohio. Why do Michigan fans act like 318 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: they are untouchable going into this season when compared to 319 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: Ohio State they apparently develop players better do less with more, 320 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: put more players in the NFL, etc. None of it's true. 321 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: It's like the ugly girl wore makeup for the first time. 322 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: I can relate to the latter portion of this question 323 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: because I've seen it happen. I've seen that makeup go on. Hey, 324 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: you want to know what's worse than that? In my business, 325 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: everyone wears makeup, even your boy. Here. When the ugly 326 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: dude who's never wore makeup before wears makeup for the 327 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: first time, you have never experienced anything like it. And 328 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: here's the worst part. So you do the six o'clock 329 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: like I used to do local news, right, So you'll 330 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: do the six o'clock news, and all of a sudden, 331 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: they're excited to go eat afterwards. And they used to 332 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: not want to leave the station, and all of a 333 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: sudden they're excited to go eat afterwards. When you realize 334 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: he keeps dipping into the bathroom right before, and you 335 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: think that's normal. He's either just got to go or 336 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: you know what, probably taking his makeup off. But he 337 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: looks too perfect when he comes out. You go to 338 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: the pizza places, the barbecue, join or head up to 339 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: Chick fil A, and he just looks too perfect, looks photoshopped. 340 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: And then you realize for the first time, your buddy, 341 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: who just got off the six o'clock News, went into 342 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: the bathroom not to take his makeup off, but rather 343 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: to touch it up. And you've entered an entirely new 344 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: world there. It really tests your friendship. Anyway, That's not 345 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: what you asked, James. What you asked is these Michigan fans, 346 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: why do they act like they're untouchable. Well, let's just 347 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: break this down for a second. I don't live up there, 348 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: so I don't know how exactly they're acting towards you. 349 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: I would imagine it isn't kind, nor should it be. 350 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: They've beaten you soundly the last two years. That's the 351 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: way it works. You dished that out the previous eight years. 352 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: I think it was so we all get why that 353 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: game is so important. You understand the consequences. But you're 354 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: trying to tell me they're acting that way because of 355 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: And then you listed several factors they develop players better, 356 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: you say, you say they feel that way, Well, they're 357 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: doing a pretty darn good job of developing players. Now, 358 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: I can't do an hour long podcast and just X 359 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: to y compare their development to Ohio State. They're developing 360 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: players pretty well. No, they're not putting more players in 361 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: the NFL than Ohio State over a long stretch of time. 362 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: You're right about that. But the idea that they do 363 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: less with more you said, that's not true. That's absolutely true. 364 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: They certainly are doing less with more. How else would 365 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: I explain the last two years they haven't had more 366 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: talented rosters than you. Far from it, actually, and they've dominated, 367 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: especially the second half the last two years. So you know, 368 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: part of this is true, part of this is not. 369 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: I would just say, in general terms, anytime you had 370 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: an extended dry spell, when you finally get the rain again, 371 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: people go a little crazy. It's the same way in 372 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: college football. What's the opposite approach. You got a buddy 373 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: in dearborn Michigan, lifelong Michigan fan, you grew up in Akron, 374 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: and you're a lifelong Ohio State fan. You really expect 375 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: the dude to call you up and say, oh man, 376 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, we're just happy to be here. Yeah, we 377 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: slipped into one couple of years in a row, but 378 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: you guys will take it this year. You're so much 379 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: better than us. That would be not a rivalry. So 380 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: I would suggest to you, James, it's supposed to be 381 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: this way. Now, having this upcoming year shaping up the 382 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: way it is, with Michigan having a lot of returning pieces. 383 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: You got to go to their place and they're being 384 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: probably as much certainty and built in confidence as we've 385 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: seen in a long time from Michigan. It kind of 386 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: takes on a different dynamic because the last two years, 387 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: Ohio State has been expected to win. Even last year 388 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: they were expected to win. They looked pretty good stopping 389 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: the run in the first half. You remember what happened. 390 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: But this year, because you have a two year sample 391 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: size of Michigan winning the game and winning it by 392 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: double digits, and you go into their building and them 393 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: having gotten to the playoff and falling in the playoff, 394 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: the expectation is going to shift little bit. The national 395 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: focus is going to shift a little bit. I'm gonna 396 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: spoil this for you now. I'm telling you where it's 397 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: going because I know what the national types talk about. Yeah, 398 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: they'll talk about Ohio State Michigan, but what they'll ultimately 399 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: be asking is can Michigan get back to the playoff 400 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: and win a game. And that doesn't mean they take 401 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: Ohio State for granted, but they kind of do some 402 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: of them kind of will. And I look at it 403 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: and I say, every year starts from scratch. There's no continuum. 404 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: You don't carry over some themes. You can carry over 405 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: maybe momentum if you believe in that. But I do 406 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: not believe this thing will be anything other than what 407 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: it always is this year. And I think when Ohio 408 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: State goes up there, obviously by then it's the last 409 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: game of the season, so we will have long learned 410 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: what kind of team they have. But Ohio State, you know, 411 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: I was watching their spring game the other day, and 412 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: as I said on the Sunday Night Show, I'll say 413 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: it again, as much as people are talking about this 414 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: quarterback battle with good reason, I looked at the team overall. 415 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: I know how low to they are in the backfield. 416 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: I know how low to they are in the receiver room. 417 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: I think they can address offensive tackle between now and 418 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: the start of the season, so I think they'll be Okay, 419 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: they won't be elite, but I think they'll be pretty 420 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: good on the offensive line. But I found myself thinking 421 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: all that, thinking I don't need a first overall draft 422 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: pick caliber talent at quarterback. I just need a good 423 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: enough caliber talent and I think I'll have that. But 424 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: you know what else I said. I said, I think 425 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: this defense can be counted on, and I couldn't say 426 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: that the last couple of years. That would be a 427 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: game changer because that would create an Ohio State team 428 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: that's capable of beating you in more than one way. 429 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: That also would be a difference from the past two years. 430 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: So this is a huge year for Ryan Day. It's 431 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: always a huge year. Every year is a huge year. 432 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: It's kind of redundant. But this year they've got more 433 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: to prove than they've had at any point in his career, 434 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: any point in his career. We'll see what happens. And 435 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: I know it sounds like this is just one steady flow, 436 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: But occasionally, when I'm recording the Lake Kick extropod, since 437 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: there's not video and we're not live, I can afford 438 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: to stop. I can afford to go back. So I've 439 00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: been going back, and I've been listening to some of 440 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: the other udio because I'm not in my usual studio, 441 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: and I know some of the p's, like the Poo 442 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: Poop sometimes they're popping. I get that, and I know 443 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: it doesn't provide the most ideal listening experience. But you 444 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: haven't heard my side of the story yet. I think 445 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: you should probably go check my Instagram story once you 446 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: listen to this to find out the condition that I 447 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: recorded today's Late Kick extra pot in suffice it to say, 448 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: I am not in a professional studio. There are not 449 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: millions of dollars of equipment around me. It's just it's 450 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: a little bit different vibe. And that's all I'll say. 451 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: At Lake Kick, Josh, if you want to go check 452 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: it out those pictures, well, that picture will be uploaded 453 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: and you will see it. I want to keep it, 454 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: maybe just in the Instagram story, because this is not 455 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: something I want the world to see. They may think 456 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: less of me. We all know that life is about 457 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: what other people think of you, right, But I do 458 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: want to share it with you, so we'll put it 459 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: kind of hidden over there in the Instagram story. Not 460 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: totally hidden, not nearly as hidden as this Gadam another 461 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: A plus ad toss. No one saw it coming. And 462 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: yet again I remind you, if you claim you did, 463 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: someone will win the lottery today. That doesn't mean, they 464 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: knew what they were doing when they filled out the numbers. 465 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: We move on from Carrollton, Texas. Here's a question a 466 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: lot of you asked, could I set the record straight 467 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: on college football media overreaction to Jimbo's most recent comments. Obviously, 468 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: I need to clarify because Jimbo makes a lot of comments. 469 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: You know what bothers me the most about Jimbo Fisher 470 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: is he will not let reporters finish asking a question 471 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 1: before he starts answering. You've got a million and one 472 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: other problems with him. That's my beef. That's my problem, 473 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: and I'm a guy that has gone at it with 474 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: him publicly before. I don't care about that. I can 475 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: do that all day, but when you won't let folks 476 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: finish their question, that aggravates me. In fairness, though he 477 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: did let me finish all my questions, so there is that. Anyway, 478 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: Jimbo had a little playful back and forth last week. 479 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: I think it was after the spring it was, I 480 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: don't I can't remember. I think it was after the 481 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: spring game. When it was is not important, but it 482 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: was in the last week. And so he's in the 483 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: press conference, and this is where It's really important to 484 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: see in the video and hear the audio. Kids don't 485 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: just read transcripts, especially with people who are prone to 486 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: joking and talking forty seven million miles a minute like 487 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher. So, Jimbo, if you were to just have 488 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: read the transcript, he said, I don't want a Houston 489 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: Chronicle question. I don't want a question from Sports Illustrated. 490 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: Give me a Tech SAgs question. Guess what happened. A 491 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: lot of people who are drive by in nature, they 492 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: just drove by. They saw the quote on Twitter and 493 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: they said, oh, look at that. This is Stalinist. These 494 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: are communist tactics. Jimbo Fisher is trying to suppress the 495 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: freedom of the press. Jimbo Fisher is trying to use 496 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: a familiar mouthpiece over there that Billy Lucci and his company. 497 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: Shame on them. Now. It was texting Lucci the whole time, 498 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: laughing with him about this because I happened to be 499 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: listening to the press conference. I heard the quote, and 500 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: I knew immediately what was going to happen. Because I 501 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: knew most people weren't going to hear the quote, they 502 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: were going to read it because someone opportunistically was going 503 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: to transcript it instead of clipping the audio so that 504 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: it looked a lot worse than it was when you 505 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: go and you listen to it or you watch it. 506 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: He's got a huge grin on his face the entire time, 507 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: and he's winking. He's winking at the Houston Chronicle. He's 508 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: waking at Sports Illustrated as he's saying this, And it 509 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: was just it's a group of people, the media beat 510 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: there that are together all year round. They meet with 511 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: the coach many many times a year, including weekly, multiple 512 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: times weekly in the fall. Everyone knows each other, guys, 513 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: everyone does. I'll give you a perfect case study and 514 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: how this works. When I was growing up, we had 515 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: a backyard wrestling federation. Yeah, nothing's wrong with a mic. 516 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: I just wanted to pause so you could appreciate that 517 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: we had a backyard wrestling federation. So me and my 518 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: friends we would watch pro wrestling on Monday, and then 519 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: we would screw ripped our own matches and then we 520 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: would execute them on Tuesday. Now, most of the time 521 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: this was relegated to the living room, but if we 522 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: had a false count anywhere match, of course that could 523 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: spill out to the garage, the screened in porch, the driveway, 524 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: the front yard. I mean, Hoops amongst us hasn't been 525 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: in a false count anywhere match. We know how that works. 526 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: So we would be wrestling, like TV wrestling out in 527 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: the front yard. Well, one day, Now keep in mind, 528 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: we did this every week. One day someone drove by 529 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: and saw me fake punching my next door neighbor best 530 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: friend in the front yard, and that's all they saw. 531 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: They called the cops. They narked on us. They called 532 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: the cops, or as we might call him in this scenario, 533 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: a referee. And so the Harris County referees pull up 534 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: and we're like, we're we're playing. What are you talking about? Well, 535 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: we got a report that there was a physical assault happening, 536 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, I won the match. You better 537 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: believe there was physical assault happening. Oh wait, wait, this 538 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: is not a promo I'm cutting. This is real life. 539 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: Here's what happened, Officer. It was a work. It wasn't 540 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: a shoot. It was a work. We do this all 541 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 1: the time. Look, we recorded, We had our little sony 542 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: handicam whatever those would have been called back then. We 543 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: were filming it look, we also put ketchup on our foreheads. 544 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: No one's busted open. I also have something else to 545 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: admit right here, right now, I am ready to confess 546 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: to you. I slammed him through a cardboard box onto 547 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: some sofa cushions. Arrest me if you must so. Obviously 548 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: they laughed and everyone left, but the neighbor they lived 549 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: in our neighborhood. Man, we knew who they were. We 550 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: knew who narked on us. And the point was, if 551 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: they just took two seconds to understand what was going on, 552 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: if they took two seconds to absorb the context or 553 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: just roll down the window and say, hey, is everything okay, 554 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: we would have been mad because it would have interrupted 555 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: the flow of the match. Yeah, but they would have known. Yeah, 556 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: there's no need to call the cops or the referees, 557 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: So there would be no need for there to be 558 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: any outrage if someone would have listened to what Jimbo 559 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: set or watched what he said. But then again, there 560 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: aren't a lot of clicks to be aggregated. Once we 561 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: insert proper context and discernment into things, are there. Welcome, 562 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: Welcome friends to the wonderful world of the Internet circa 563 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Tyler next up from Where's Tyler from? 564 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: He's from Eugene, Oregon. Tyler asked, what are your thoughts 565 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: on having the college football rankings being done by Vegas? 566 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: I assume you mean the playoff rankings. I support a 567 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: version of this. So let's be very very clear about 568 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I've said this for a long time. 569 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: I've been totally consistent on this. I don't mind having 570 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: a committee decide the rankings. I want the right people 571 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: on the committee. In a perfect world, I do the rankings, okay, 572 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: and that's the perfect world. We don't live in a 573 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: perfect world. Prison is no fairytale world, as Red would 574 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: say in Shawshank Redemption, and neither is college football. So 575 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: Tyler's asking, what if college football odds makers Vegas, as 576 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: you would call him, what if they handled the rankings? Now, 577 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume one thing, ty I'm going to assume 578 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: you mean if Vegas handled the rankings, then the rankings 579 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: would actually appear as their odds making appears, as their 580 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: power ratings appear. I couldn't have that. Here's why we 581 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: can't have that. Alabama would never drop out of the 582 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: top four. Ohio State would never drop out of the 583 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: top four. The reason is because the way a Vegas 584 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: odds making machine were to work is they don't really 585 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: care so much about your resume. Their power rating is 586 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: based on you today moving forward. So if Alabama were 587 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: to lose a game, they rarely ever drop. Ohio State 588 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: rarely ever drops because those odds and those power ratings 589 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: are so disproportionately reliant on roster data, and they're so 590 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: disproportionately reliant on assignated ratings for players, for coaches, etc. 591 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: Because odds makers learned a long time ago you are 592 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: not what your record says you are when it comes 593 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: to the quality of team, and that's why they're able 594 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: to set very very consistent odds on teams. And even 595 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: after a team loses, Vegas doesn't really budge a whole 596 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: lot on them. And when teams win a lot of instances, 597 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: Vegas doesn't really budge a whole lot on them either. 598 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: So that is not the place Las Vegas belongs in 599 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: your record against the spread or your Vegas power rating. 600 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: That should not be what determines who makes the playoff. 601 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,479 Speaker 1: It shouldn't because you've got to involve merit That's what 602 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: competition and sports are about. It's about deciding something on 603 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: the field. And now I've got some casual out there 604 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: listening to me saying, oh, mister, mister anti expansion wants 605 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: to decide it on the field, hunh, I sure do 606 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: I always have? Well, well, we haven't always gotten the 607 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: outcome that was right. No, you haven't always gotten the 608 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: outcome you wanted. We got the right outcome. We've gotten 609 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: the right outcomes. But I'm not going down that road today. 610 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: This is not the place for the playoff expansion discussion. 611 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: But Vegas does have a role in this, or they should. 612 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: And as I've shared with you before and I'll share 613 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: with you once more, the role they should have is 614 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: you should have your committee, and I should be on 615 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: the committee, but you should have your committee. They decide 616 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: the ratings and they release them, and I'm fine with 617 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: all that structure. But the way they determine strength of 618 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: schedule should heavily involve Las Vegas. That right there is 619 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: where Vegas should be brought in the room. That is 620 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: where the conversation is stupid. Right now, A lot of 621 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: the conversation that determines your strength of schedule is about 622 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: this arbitrary top twenty five wins metric, and the value 623 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: of those wins continues to fluctuate throughout the season as 624 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: the team you played in Week two goes on to 625 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: lose more games, even though they're losing more games in 626 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: part because of the beating you put on them in 627 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: week two. In your losing credit for a win because 628 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: it was so thorough of a win, I hate all that, 629 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: and so with Vegas, they have the better lens to 630 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: view that through. Did you really just play an overrated 631 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: team in week two? Or did you play a strong 632 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: team in Week two that then lost three of their 633 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: starting four interior linemen, a starting safety, and had their 634 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: tailback go down for the season, And they were a 635 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: different team in Week six. And that's why they suck 636 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: all the sudde because that's a different conversation. All of 637 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're still getting credit for a win. You 638 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: should get credit for No one's decreasing the value of 639 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: it because it wasn't a quote unquote top twenty five 640 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: win in retrospect. That's where Vegas is fully qualified. In fact, 641 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: they're overly uniquely qualified to clean up that portion. And 642 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: if I could get Vegas style thinking in the strength 643 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: of schedule compartment. I'd be fine with the committee cause 644 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: the committee with them be armed with the proper information. 645 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: Let's get this question from Columbus Ohio. The second from 646 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: Columbus Ohio today, he said, should Brian Hartline's accident and 647 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: all the information surrounding it worry recruits in their families? 648 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: Will what happened hurt Ohio States recruiting? So if you've 649 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: been out of the loop, Brian Hartline, I think after 650 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: the spring game ended up having to have paramedics called 651 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: because he had an ATV accident on his property. Turns 652 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: out there was alcohol involved. He has since admitted to that. Again, 653 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: I want to emphasize on his own property. My answer 654 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: is no, it will not affect Ohio State recruiting in 655 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: the least. No, if I were a family of a 656 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: recruit for Ohio State, I wouldn't be concerned in the 657 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: least because it doesn't impact me at all. It is 658 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: a poor error in judgment, but look, I'm not even 659 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: calling it an egregious error in judgment by Brian Hartline. 660 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: You should never be operating motor vehicles under the influence 661 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: of alcohol, So I mean that's always pissed poor decision making. 662 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: But man, there is a gulf of a difference between 663 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: doing it on an open road and doing it on 664 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: your own property, because you're not putting anyone else in 665 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: harm's way when you're doing it on your property. And secondly, yes, 666 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: there's a much higher standard you have to meet and 667 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: a level of accountability you have to meet. And that look, 668 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: he gets that. And if he doesn't get it, he's 669 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: having it explained to him. But I have no doubt 670 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: he gets that. But if I am a high four 671 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: star receiver from Pittsburgh and I'm looking at Chris o'lave 672 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: and Garrett Wilson, all these dudes who've been pumped into 673 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: the NFL, I'd ask them, Hey, did Brian Hartline's ATV 674 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: accident change? How many millions of dollars you have in 675 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: your pocket? Hey, Marvin Harrison Jr. The year you're about 676 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: to have, is it going to be deterred by the 677 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: ATV accident? Brian Hartland just had. The answer is no. 678 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to use it to take 679 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: a shot at him on Twitter, I guess okay, I 680 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 1: mean I won't be doing that personally, but okay, if 681 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: you want to call it a like I said, a 682 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: poor use of judgment on Brian Hartline's part. Okay, is 683 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: it going to impact whatsoever the way they develop or 684 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: recruit receivers, the way they put receivers in the NFL, 685 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: the way that they put up huge numbers. I don't 686 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: think so. So no, I don't think it's a problem, 687 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: And no, I wouldn't be worried about it. With that 688 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: in mind, I have got to get out of here because, 689 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: like I said, I got a speaking engagement tonight, so 690 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: happy to be here. I may record it, I may 691 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: share some of it with you guys. We'll see how 692 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: it goes. Much as is the case with Ping pong, 693 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,280 Speaker 1: anything that ends up making me look good, I'm happy 694 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: to share. But it's the it's the parts where I lose. 695 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: It's the parts where I forget everything I was gonna 696 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: say and stammer myself into oblivion. Now that's what we 697 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: can't have out there. I do that enough on the 698 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: pod anyway. So I appreciate you guys listening.
