Speaker 1: installers ti iraq dot com the way tire buy it

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: should be. So as we get the show started today,

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: we had the good fortune we thought of having a

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: rather significant college football matchup between defending champion Georgia and

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: an undefeated Florida State team smarting after being left out

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: of the college football playoff. We thought this would be

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: at least a competitive game, something we could talk about

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: before we get into the game a little bit later

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: on between the Lions and the Cowboys and get into

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: all the NFL talk. But this is not going to

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: happen because it's forty two to three at halftime, and

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: I got to ask you this about the transfer portal

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: and how this operates now, because you remember in the

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: beginning we had you know, a few transfers and everything else,

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: and some work, some don't work, which makes a lot

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: of sense. But now you have this transfer portal right

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: around Christmas time and Florida State, having lost Jordan Travis

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: for the season, actually had a decent backup. Tay Rodemaker

26
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: had been in the program four years and played well

27
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: when they beat Florida in that last game, but then

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: he got the concussion that had to sit out the

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: a SEC championship game. So we remember. Our argument was, well, okay,

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: they had no offense in the a SEC championship game

31
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: and that was a freshman. He's not going to be

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: playing if they get into the playoff, it's going to

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: be raw to maker the Radamaker's healthy. But the problem

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: was in this interim, since they were eliminated from the playoff,

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: Florida State starts entertaining the possibility of bringing in someone

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: through the transfer portal. Uyong Lala, they guts. All these

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: guys are talking to and Radamaker's watching this thinking, all right,

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a fifth year senior next year, and

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: you're telling me I'm not gonna be the guy or

40
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to compete for a job. The hell

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: with you, I'm out of here. He announces for the

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: transfer portal on Christmas Day, leaving Florida State with the

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: freshmen and obviously no match today as they are getting

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: absolutely boat raced by Georgia forty two to three. And

45
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: they were making this argument, well, what if Florida State

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: wins and Michigan and Washington both lose, they would be

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: the only undefeated team. Right, Okay, we can eliminate that.

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: But what do you make of this transfer portal and

49
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: where we are right now? With all these quarterbacks entering

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: the portal, guys moving in and out, free agency run

51
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: amuck in college football. Is this a good thing for

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: the sport or is this something that could actually backfire

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: on the sport.

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: Well, I'm always in favor of the player and movement, right,

55
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: because very few things as a college player you get

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: to control. Now we're as a former college player NCAA

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: athlete two sports. I was recruited in basketball and in football,

58
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: and you're told everything you want to hear. You're the guy,

59
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: you can do this, you can do that. Yes, right,

60
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: you're our guy. They're telling another person at the same

61
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: position that same thing. So when students student athletes get

62
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: to the program. You may have three quarterbacks commit in

63
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: one year. Well, if we're all told we're the guy

64
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: and we're going to compete, I get it. I understand

65
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: at the professional level you can compete in the clock

66
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: starts running.

67
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: For your college career.

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: So good friend of mine, Kevin mckeckney, we came out

69
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: of college together. He was drafted in baseball. He was

70
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: our all star point guard on the NIKE All American Team,

71
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: and he chose to play quarterback. He wanted to come

72
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: to San Diego State and he was going to play

73
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: quarterback out of Christian Brothers, and we had some pretty

74
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: good quarterbacks there. And he waited and sat there until

75
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: his senior year and the third game into the season.

76
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: I believe he hurt his back. College career over over done.

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: There was no transfer portal, There wasn't there was nothing,

78
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: And so now players have the opportunity and the ability

79
00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: to find places where they give it. We've seen it happened.

80
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: Look at Jalen Hurts. Look I mean there's a bevy

81
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: of starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Russell Wilson not a

82
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: starting quarterback anymore, not at least for this year.

83
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that later.

84
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: But their quarterbacks who started somewhere it didn't work out

85
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, they moved to somewhere else and they've

86
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: had ultimate success.

87
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: I'm okay with the portal.

88
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: Well, it's working for some there's no question about that.

89
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at a Michael Pennox junior,

90
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: when you look at a Bode Nicks, when you look

91
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: at Jaden Daniels who on the Heisman Trophy after three

92
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: years at Arizona State, it's working for certain schools. Ohio

93
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: State was left with a very similar situation. We saw

94
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: that Tobacca yesterday. Kyle McCord their quarterback and the transfer portal.

95
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: In fact, he's already heading to Syracuse right now, foresting

96
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State to throw a freshman out there against Missouri

97
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: and predictably, they had no offense. Now they're calling for

98
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: the head of Ryan Day's record at Ohio State is

99
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: fifty six and eight. If that's and they're calling for

100
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: his head, they won him out. In fact, he has

101
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: never lost a Big Ten game outside of the three

102
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: losses to Michigan. His Big Ten record is thirty nine

103
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: to three, but those three losses are to Michigan. So

104
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: fifty six and eight and social media went bonkers last

105
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: night even though he had no quarterback. No, Marvin Harrison

106
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: Junior has to throw a freshman out there who hasn't

107
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: played at all this year. They lose to a pretty

108
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: good Missouri team. He's fifty six and eight out out

109
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: of here. We need a real coach.

110
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: So what I'm gonna tell you is, this is what

111
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: we'll see if you aren't playing, which will be different.

112
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: We're gonna change. It will change now moving forward with

113
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: twelve teams being able to play for a national championship.

114
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: But under the current model, if you're not playing for

115
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: a national championship, these players who have futures on Sunday

116
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: did not play.

117
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: It's a worthless game.

118
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Well and we and we said this from the very

119
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: beginning when the four school playoff was introduced. Now the

120
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: four schools will have something to play for theoretically, as

121
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: opposed to just two under the BCS arrangement. But now

122
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: you'll have twelve. And my guys said, I'm telling you

123
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: right now, you from if you're let's say, the loser

124
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: of the SEC championship game. I've just used that as

125
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: an example Georgia Alabama. Okay, and you're a fifth seed.

126
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: Remember the top four seeds get a bye. But if

127
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: you're a fifth seed, if you want to win the

128
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: national championship, potentially you're gonna have to win four games

129
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: on top of the fact that you already played in

130
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: the conference championship game. Added up, that would be a

131
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: potential seventeen game season in college.

132
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: Yep, here you go.

133
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: And if you are then if you well, that's the

134
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: point though, if you're projected to be a high pick

135
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: in the end draft, do I want to really drag

136
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: my body through a potential maze of you know, against

137
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: top teams where I might get hurt, or do I

138
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: bail on my team even though we're in the playoff

139
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: to win a national championship. I'm telling you there will

140
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: be players that decide my future in the NFL is

141
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: more important than a potential run to a national championship.

142
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Sorry coach, but I got to look out for my

143
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: own well beat and if it's a quarterback, lookout potentially

144
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: that's the case.

145
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think if you have an opportunity to

146
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: win a national championship, guys will take that opportunity.

147
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 3: That's something that. I mean, you can't. You won't be

148
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: able to duplicate that anywhere else.

149
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's two games right now. I got you

150
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: double that. By the way, I'm even surprised you're here today.

151
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: The guys are getting paid anyway.

152
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you're here. I thought you'd be partying all

153
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: day long after your winning on the road against Gonzaga

154
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: double Did did you win on the road against.

155
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: Going up to Spokane? Yeah, where they don't lose.

156
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: They'd ever lose and Aztecs have a whole turnover in

157
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: their wash.

158
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: And destroying Gunzaga, the elite team of the West. Yes, yeah, man,

159
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's the last time we played and we

160
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: did the same thing in the same place.

161
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you own thee This is.

162
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: Why do you think they didn't want to play us

163
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: for so long? H Yeah, I remember during COVID when

164
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: the teams were just searching for anybody to play. The

165
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: Aztecs were like, hey, please, no, absolutely not no last year,

166
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: please no absolutely.

167
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: I can only imagine you was sitting there because I

229
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: Acceptable.

230
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that he's got a big New

231
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: Year's celebration. I'm not exactly what's going on, but the

232
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: clubs Adam. We'll carry on in his absence. By the way,

233
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: it is now forty nine to three, Georgia leading Florida State.

234
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this about Georgia and forget Florida

235
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: State's absence from the final four, or how did Georgia

236
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: not make the final four? You Remember we were saying

237
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: that even if Georgia lost to Alabama, they would be

238
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: in the final four. Yeah, so let's say this. Let's

239
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: say let's say Texas wins the national Championship. Let's say

240
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: Texas has a grind out, ugly win against Washington and

241
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: they beat let's say Alabama after Alabama beats Michigan. Okay,

242
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: so you'd have a one loss Texas team. Who would

243
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: you favor in a matchup between Texas and Georgia.

244
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: Georgia?

245
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, I mean you would. You could sit

246
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: there saying, all right, so Texas wins the playoff and

247
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, they're not the best team in the country.

248
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: How did Georgia get left out of the final four

249
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: because they lost to Alabama?

250
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to lose, lose.

251
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Early, obviously, but we do. How do you go? Everyone

252
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: kept talking about how Alabama went from eight to fourth,

253
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: in Texas go for seven to third. How did Georgia

254
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: go from one to five to five?

255
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: That's crazy?

256
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: So Georgia really showing with a vengeance today, Why you

257
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: could still make the argument they're the best team in

258
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: the country.

259
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: Oh, you knew this was going to go this way.

260
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: This is a remap this like TCU and that champion.

261
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: Remember sixty five to seven were well on their way

262
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: to that forty nine to three. Georgia leads Florida State,

263
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: So no hopes for Florida State having any claim to

264
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: whether they belonged to the playoff or winning a national championship.

265
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's talk about some football right now,

266
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: in the absence of added kaplan. I'm want to start

267
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: with this game between the Lions and the Cowboys, which

268
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: is coming up here, kicking off a little over a

269
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: little under two hours right now. The Lions actually have

270
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: an opportunity here to jump into the two seat. Are

271
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: better in the NFC now, A lot of people, most

272
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: people believe Dallas will win this g Dallas has not

273
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: lost at home. They're seven and oh. You know, they

274
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: have these back to back road losses. You know that

275
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: again have demoted them to second place in the NFC East.

276
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: But I'm not so sure about this game. I think

277
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are sort of do for a dog game

278
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: at home. And remember most of those seven wins at home,

279
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: they're seven and zero at home or against bad teams.

280
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: They've really beaten bad teams. Do you think the Lions

281
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: are ready to go into prime time, and believe me,

282
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: they are by the way undefeated in primetime games this year.

283
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: Do you think that they can rise up to the

284
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: occasion and beat the Cowboys in Arlington.

285
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: So the thing about the Lions is it's I believe

286
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: they're the biggest coin flip.

287
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: In the NFL. Number one.

288
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: When when they flip that coin and it lands on heads,

289
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: they can score with the best of them. I mean,

290
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: everybody's putting up points. They can run the ball well

291
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: they you know, passing defense is attacking, but if that

292
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: thing lands on tails, goodness, it's gracious. Turnovers abound, lackluster

293
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: effort defensively. So when you're trying to figure out and

294
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: pick for or against the Lions, you just don't quite

295
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: know which team is showing up yet. Now look their

296
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: division winners. Okay, got that out of the way. But

297
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: to sit here and say they're now at that next step,

298
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: even this far in the season with their record, I don't.

299
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: I can't answer. I'm not fully sold just because of

300
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: the unevenness of the way they've attacked this season. The

301
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: consistency is uneven to me, and when they're really good,

302
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: they are tops in the NFL. But when they're bad,

303
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: they're really bad.

304
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: They are I was thinking about this when I watched

305
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: the Browns blow up the Jets. And by the way, again,

306
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: how does Robert Sala have a job. Think about this

307
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: for a second. You're Robert Sala and you gave up

308
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: on Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco look like a guy that

309
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: was ready for retirement when he was wearing a Jets

310
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: uniform for Robert Salah. And our argument about Robert Sala

311
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: has always been, well, he's a really good defensive coach.

312
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: The Browns didn't even have Amari Cooper in the game,

313
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: and they lit him up. Joe Flacco lit up his

314
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: great defense. I'm still trying to figure this out because

315
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: you see Aaron Rodgers on the sidelines right crazy, and

316
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: I'm like, because this is his call. The only reason

317
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: that you are retaining Hackett as an offensive coordinator and

318
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: Salah as a head coach, if you're Woody Johnson, is

319
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is telling you those are the guys

320
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: I want to be here next year.

321
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: Why why, I'll tell you. Look, watching that whoo sounds

322
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: tough football. But if Joe Salah, I mean excuse me,

323
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: is Robert Sala loses his job this offseason. It's because

324
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: of that reason there, because they didn't identify a player

325
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: that can come in after Aaron Rodgers went hurt, got

326
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: hurt the first game, the four plays. By the time

327
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: they ran nine plays, we should have been having a

328
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 2: replacement fly in the next morning. Think about this.

329
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: You lost Aaron Rodgers in the first game of the year,

330
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: first fourth plays of the year. You had all season

331
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: to figure this quarterback situation. Cleveland loses their quarterback halfway

332
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: through the season, and they called Joe Flacco, who's laying

333
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: on his couch, to give him a look.

334
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: They look good.

335
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: You think Flacco would do better than anything that Jets

336
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: had this year.

337
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 3: I mean it's not even close.

338
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's even close. I there's a difference. But

339
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: I want to get back to Cleveland winning this game.

340
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: Because Cleveland wins this game. And by the way, I

341
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: was sitting here last Sunday with Rich Ornberger and we

342
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: were talking about jokingly about you know, Joe Flacco winning

343
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Think about this. The only two franchises

344
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: that were around in nineteen seventy with a merger that

345
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: have not been in a Super Bowl? Are the Detroit

346
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: Lions and the Cleveland Browns now granted was the original

347
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns and became the Baltimore Ravens. I get it,

348
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: this is an expansion brown but that yeah, they handed

349
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: over the legacy of the current expansion Browns, so the

350
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: old Browns. But I'm watching the Browns as good as

351
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: they are with their defense and Joe Flacco winging it

352
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: like he's throwing the ball down the field Amari Cooper.

353
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: Not We're going to go deep, He's going to test.

354
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: He is just having the time of his life. Brown's

355
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: Lions super Bowl? Ill? Would that be unbelievable? Two franchises

356
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: that have never been there before? Do? Is that? What

357
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: you do? You want to see that? Joe Flacco seriously

358
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: going against Jared Goff in the Super Bowl? That must

359
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: see TV. You know how many times I've covered so

360
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: many Super Bowl over the years, and you get to

361
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls and you're always of that mindset like

362
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: I should have seen this one coming. It's like the Harbowl,

363
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: you know when that happened, where the Harbaugh Blaers are

364
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: playing in the Super Bowl forty nine ers in the

365
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: Ravens should have seen that one coming the Rams, you

366
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: know as a home team, you know, Buccaneers zoned. I

367
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: felt like there was there's a storyline that goes with it.

368
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 1: So if the Lions win today, because I think the

369
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: one team the Lions are trying to avoid in that

370
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: first round is the Rams. They don't want to see

371
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford come into Detroit. No no, But if they

372
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: lose today, that's the most likely scenario. They'd be dropped

373
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: to the three seed. Rams are solid at the six seed,

374
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: that's the likely scenario. But if they win today, they

375
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: have a chance to be the two seed void the

376
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: Rams in the first round. So you're not wild about

377
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: the idea of the Lions Brown super Bowl.

378
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: No, man, I don't think the world is either.

379
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I have another big question for you of what

380
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: does what makes sense of what doesn't make sense on

381
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: the other side. But first let's find out what is

382
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: a trending? And Martin is here doing his triple duty

383
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: as he so often does, hardest working man in this building.

384
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 8: Clearly, I just got to ask your partner over there

385
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 8: from Salama question. So, if Cleveland and Detroit make the

386
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 8: Super Bowl, what you're turning it off, you're not gonna yeah,

387
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 8: all right, that's.

388
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: What I thought. Of course, it's the Super Bowl. But

389
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: is that what you want to see? Or would you

390
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: or would you want to see whoever makes it through

391
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: the aar Would you want to see the Ravens? I

392
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: don't know, Niners.

393
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 8: Again, if the Ravens go to Cleveland and cleve and

394
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 8: do them like they did San Francisco, or they forced

395
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson throw four interceptions and then by the end

396
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 8: of the day we're seeing Tyler Huntley in the game,

397
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 8: then you damn right. I want to see the Cleveland Browns.

398
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 8: I want to see who wins em. That's what I

399
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 8: want to see.

400
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: Can you imagine on the content Championship games, the Lions

401
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: win at San Francisco and the Browns win at Baltimore,

402
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: they would be I can't imagine that, Actually I cannot.

403
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: And chum Facco beats his former team, but it beats

404
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback that replaced him that he was benched in

405
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: the Baltimore I'm telling you right now, I can't imagine it.

406
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 8: No, I cannot, nor can I am I really hopefully

407
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 8: hopefully not entertaining the possibility of Matthew Stafford walking back

408
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 8: into forefield of getting a playoff win. That would people

409
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 8: in Detroit would lose their minds.

410
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: Our resident Lions fan Chris is fearful of that game

411
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: it happens.

412
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 8: I mean, I think all of his hair would fall

413
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 8: out just at halftime, just from the stress of it all. Now,

414
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 8: but right now, Mike Norvel do a hair check on him,

415
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 8: because the Florida State Seminoles thirteen to zero, acc undefeated

416
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 8: champions of a Power five conference. They are currently down

417
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 8: by forty six points, so seven minutes left in the

418
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 8: third quarter, Georgia forty nine, Florida State three.

419
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: In the Orange Bowl.

420
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know if this team probably shouldn't have

421
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 8: made the playoff. I get see now, if you're picking

422
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 8: four teams he from to go ahead and do that.

423
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 8: But not in the NFL they have qualifiers. Earlier today,

424
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 8: Old Miss beat Penn State thirty eight to twenty five.

425

426

00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: and Monty Williams.

470
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 8: Highest paid coach in the league, and several lottery picks

471
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 8: and two wins.

472
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable when you think about it. I mean just

473
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: by sheer luck. I mean they had a twenty one

474
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: point lead against the Celtics. You feel it. At some point,

475
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: you just luck into wins, right right, I mean, Steve,

476
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: it's the NBA. It is the NBA.

477
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 8: Like there had Utah a few weeks ago, a third

478
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 8: night of the three games and four nights second night

479
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 8: of a back to back, and literally half of them,

480
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 8: half of the Utah Jazz were sitting Lloying Marketed and

481
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 8: SOHO one and at that point in time, Utah had

482
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 8: won two road games.

483
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: Well after that night, they had won three road games.

484
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there are plenty of games over an eighty

485
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: two game schedule on the NBA where teams mail it in,

486
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: we get on back to backs and everything else on

487
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: the road. They you know, we don't need this one.

488
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: But even with that, the Pistons losing whichever one they

489
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: can get, that's what they need right now. It is unbelievable.

490
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: All right, Martin, thank you so much. Once again, We're

491
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: coming Alive from the tyrak dot com studios. All right,

492
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: I want to get back to a phenomenon that it

493
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: happened this week. So the Baltimore Ravens going to San

494
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: Francisco and just beat them up. Now, you know me,

495
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: I've been trumpeting the Ravens all season long, and no

496
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: one really wants to jump on the bandwagon. Remember our

497
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: last conversation with Adam Kaplan a couple of weeks ago

498
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: when I said, we have a clear number one in

499
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: both conference and he's like, I'm not so sure about Baltimore,

500
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: but they absolutely did a number on brock Pertian Company.

501
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

502
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: But here's what is amazing to me. So I'm going

503
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: to give you two stats. So this one quarterback has

504
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 1: a passer rating of ninety eight and thrown twenty six touchdowns,

505
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: and another quarterback has a passer rating of ninety seven

506
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: point six and nineteen touchdowns. One of these quarterbacks was benched,

507
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: the other is now the MVP favorite. I'm talking about

508
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Lamar Jackson. Russell Wilson has twenty six

509
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: touchdown passes this year and he got benched. Lamar Jackson

510
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: has nineteen touchdown passes and he's the MVP favorite. And

511
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: by the way, keep in mind this, when Lamar Jackson

512
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: won the MVP Award several years ago, back in twenty nineteen,

513
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: how many touchdown passes he had that year thirty six?

514
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: He has nineteen this year.

515
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: How many total touchdowns does he.

516
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Have twenty four? That year he had forty four? Right

517
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: his pass is His total quarterback rate in the QBR

518
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: when he won the MVP was eighty three. This year

519
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: at sixty three, he's not even a fraction of what

520
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: he was when he won his last MVP Award. I'm

521
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: trying to make this figure this out because I'm still

522
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure out why is it the quarterbacks only

523
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: apply for the MVP Trophy. Why can't Christian McCaffrey, who

524
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: has been to me the best skilled position player in

525
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: the NFL all season long? Why is he not the

526
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: favorite to win the MVP Award. How did it suddenly

527
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: become Lamar Jackson. I mean, I'm a Lamar Jackson fan,

528
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: and I've said all along, as long as the Ravens

529
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: have a healthy Lamar Jackson, they're one of the best

530
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. But that doesn't make you the

531
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: most valuable player in the league, or does it.

532
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: It's becoming creature of the moment.

533
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: Dak prest a couple years ago, Brock Purty a couple

534
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: of weeks.

535
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, every game is Tua Tark goes out, who was

536
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: just average? Now, so it's to become the creature of

537
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: the moment, static award, so to speak. And you know,

538
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: for all intent purposes, Christian McCaffrey, since Tarik Hill has

539
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: been hurt, missed a game and in half a game,

540
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: Christi mcafy has been the best player in the NFL.

541
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: It's been the best player in the NFL, most reliable player,

542
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: best player in the NFL. So with that information, I

543
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: would surmise that he would be the MVP, the most

544
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: valuable player. You put him on any team, your team

545
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: instantly gets better. We saw it happen midway through the

546
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: season last year.

547
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 3: And so.

548
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: I just.

549
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: I wish it hadn't become a quarterbacks award. Maybe the

550
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: quarterbacks should have their own separate award and let the

551
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: MVP of the league be about being a football player.

552
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: And now you're just cheaping the awards. Look, the idea

553
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: is you have a most Valuable Player award and then

554
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: you have an offensive player and a defensive player. So

555
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: this has been in recent years, like the Offensive Player

556
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: of the Year goes to some receiver, some running back

557
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: that has a big season. Right, the Cooper cups big year,

558
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: he wins Offensive Player of the Year, but for some reason,

559
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: most Valuable Player has to be reserved for a quarterback.

560
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm a Lamar Jackson fan, and he is

561
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: a big reason why the Ravens are where they are

562
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: right now. But to say he's the most valuable player

563
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: this season twenty nineteen, there was no question he obliterated

564
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: the league. He had over twelve hundred yards rushing that year.

565
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,239
Speaker 1: He has seven hundred this year. I mean again, his

566
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: numbers are a fraction of what they were when he

567
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: was the MVP the first time. So I don't get it.

568
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: McCaffrey to me, is the most valuable player.

569
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: He's widening the gap well.

570
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: Right, because you remember brock Party was trying to make

571
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: the argument a week ago that it's McCaffrey and MS

572
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, it's brock Party. What do you think is

573
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: going to happen to brock Party after that debacle? Oh yeah,

574
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: the kid absolutely unraveled.

575
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: He did now he can.

576
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: Raveled back up these next two weeks and into this

577
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: playoff run. One game doesn't make or break A player asked.

578
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: What's his name? Remember Flynn? What was his name? From

579
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: Green Bay?

580
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Oh you're talking about the guy that went to Seattle, right, yeah,

581
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: Dukly what was his name? Yeah?

582
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 2: One game has seven touchdowns and six hundred yards passing

583
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: or something like that. He was the hot button, the

584
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: old Matt Flinn. Yes, yeah, Matt Flynn never started again.

585
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: One game, either way, doesn't make or break you. You

586
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: are you are graded on your body of work. He's

587
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: only lost four games he started and finished playing and

588
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: in a year and a half. I'll take that all day.

589
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they want to win a super Bowl.

590
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: They want to win a super Bowl. You're in position

591
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: to win.

592
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's demeanor on the sideline during that game. Yeah,

593
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: he was in a state of shock. Yeah, like he

594
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: knows that there are games when perty can underperform. Maybe,

595
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: but he unraveled.

596
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he unraveled, And it's like, hey, look man, sometimes

597
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: it gets big. I've been in games where I just couldn't.

598
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: I didn't have it. I didn't have it.

599
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: But when quarterback the spotlight is even bright at home,

600
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: and the left tackle when you don't have it. Yeah,

601
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: I know, there hits the spotlight. But my I know.

602
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: But this was like people were talking about, maybe it's

603
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: a super Bowl preview. Everyone thought the forty nine ers

604
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: would win at home. Well, I I think it's still

605
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: Remember the Ravens were like six point dogs, like, why

606
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: are they such a big dog?

607
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: Play the games, man, that's why we play the games.

608
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: And this quite possibly will be a Super Bowl preview.

609
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: Two excellent teams.

610
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: Excellent team I'm telling you right now, it'll be the

611
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: Browns and the Lions.

612
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 3: No, man, get out of here with that.

613
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: Those are the team. Let's put en franchises that have

614
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: never been in the Super Bowl.

615
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: Put you put your money with your mouth. Put your

616
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: money with your mouth.

617
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: Feel I don't bet on things. What's talk about? All right?

618
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: Well let's actually I lost the bet to Rich last

619
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: week for a pizza. There you go, yeah, can I

620
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: get a pizza? I had the what was it? I

621
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: had the Cowboys beating the Dolphins.

622
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: All right, well you take you take the Browns and

623
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 2: the Lions and take the field.

624
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: No, no, you take I take the field either the

625
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: Lions or the Browns make it to the Super Bowl.

626
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: I'll take it boom either one of the large.

627
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: By the way, if they both make the Super Bowl,

628
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: you have to double up on.

629
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: It, all right?

630
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: Large? Is it either large or too large? Two topping

631
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: pizzas on the table?

632
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: All right, very good? All right? Coming up on the

633
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: other side, we get back to the college game as

634
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: we count down to the semi finals coming up on Monday.

635
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: This is Fox Football Saturday, Steve Harbin and he from

636
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: salam Fox Football Saturday, coming alive from the Tyraq dot

637
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: com studios. Can we get the mercy roll in on

638
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: this Orange Bowl? Fifty sixty three. Georgia leads Florida State.

639
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: Still two minutes to go in the third quarter. Georgia

640
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: just intercepted another pass. So the freshman brock Glen for

641
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: Florida State is eight of twenty five with two picks.

642
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: Total yards for Georgia five hundred and forty eight yards

643
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: to one ninety nine. So this and again I get

644
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: back to Georgia. I was mistaken. They actually went from

645
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: one to six after losing Alabama. How is Georgia not

646
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: in the final four? You're telling me that that room

647
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: left and said to themselves, Georgia's not one of the

648
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: four best teams in the country, because that was their

649
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: argument about including Alabama and Texas. Does anybody out there

650
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: believe that Texas is better than Georgia. I don't know anybody.

651
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: If to Alabama and Georgia were to play, I don't

652
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: know ten times, how many times would Georgia beat Alabama.

653
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess about seven.

654
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 3: I will say I would give them seventy.

655
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: Seven out of ten times, the only three for Alabama

656
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: because they got a great coach obviously, Nick Saban. How

657
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: come Michigan was the number one seed when they were

658
00:36:52,680 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: busted for cheating? Are they the number one seed anybody? Yeah?

659
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: So anyway, fifty six to three, Georgia looks like the

660
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: best team in the country, even though they were the sixteed.

661
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: Coming out from one to six.

662
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 3: Next year, we don't have to worry about it.

663
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: We won't have to worry about it. Well, there's always

664
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: going to be a reason to worry, right, even when

665
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: we have a sixty eight team. Oh stop it field

666
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: for March madness. There's still arguments at the end. You know,

667
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: they always get that sixty nine, seventy seventy one, seventy two.

668
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: You know that Aztecs have been in that position a

669
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: few times. Yeah, we ah, so my bruins have been there.

670
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Astecs, did you catch the uh the

671
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: Aztec Gonzaga game, the thirteenth rank Gonzaga.

672
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 3: I dogs that game yesterday?

673
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I talked to you about it. Oh okay, I

674
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: just you wanted to bring it up again.

675
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 3: Well, I just you know, we we can.

676
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: You imagine if I were sitting with you right now

677
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: and that game was in the second half.

678
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 3: I'd be going crazy, going crazy.

679
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: All right. We do have games coming up on Monday.

680
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: We got Michigan Alabama out at the Rose Bowl and

681
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: then out the Sugar Bowl. It's going to be Texas

682
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: and Washington. I really like Washington. And the reason I

683
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: like Washington this incredible run. They've had of one score

684
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: victories nine in a row. They're battle tested, They've been

685
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: in tight games, and they have a quarterback that I

686
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: voted for for the Heisman Trophy. And by the way,

687
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: when Michael Pennix Junior is there at midfield when they

688
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: win the National championship, and a lot of people are

689
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: going to have voters remorse that they gave it to

690
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, who, by the way, set out his meaningless

691
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: Bowl game. I will say I told you so. But

692
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: I like the fact that the Huskies of all these

693
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: teams right now, look, Alabama had a miracle against Auburn,

694
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: Otherwise they would not be here. Texas, remember without their

695
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: quarterback quin Yours barely survived. I had an overtime against

696
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: Kansas State and Michigan's cheating, and Michigan's cheating. This again,

697
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: when we talk about how it plays out, who could

698
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: have predicted before this season when the Pac twelve unraveled,

699
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: that a team from that conference would end up winning

700
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: the final four school playoff. It's a perfect scenario.

701
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 3: Amen. If I was a writer, Wait a minute, I

702
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: am a writer.

703
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: You are a writer. You could write the script.

704
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 3: You write the script, and that's how it ended. That's

705
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 3: how I would end it.

706
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 1: And by the way, George Clooney has a new movie

707
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: out about this rowing team from the nineteen thirty six

708
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: Berlin Olympics. Yeah, the entire rowing team was made up

709
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: of rowers from the same school, the University of Washington.

710
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: It's destiny, I'm telling you. Yeah. I saw that commercial

711
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, you know what. The critics didn't like it,

712
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: but the people that went to the movies loved that movie. Yes,

713
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: nothing about it was like, man, I gotta go see that.

714
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: It's an underdog movie. Don't you like sports? Underdog movie?

715
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: And it's a true story. Beat the Nazis.

716
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: That's good.

717
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: Yes, beat the Nazis. But I'm a pass What do you?

718
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: Wait a second? What are you a movie fan? I

719
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: never really asked you, even though you're in this business.

720
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: Do you like original movies? Carlee?

721
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 3: I do love original movies.

722
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: Like Poor Things something like that. I love a left field.

723
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 2: I love original screenplays, also like adapted screenplays.

724
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just a fan of good movies.

725
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: All right, remember that when you win your first oscar.

739
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: On a day when Florida State came into today trying

740
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: to make a statement on how they should have been

741
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: in the four school playoff, the whole world must be

742
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: asking themselves right now, how did Georgia go from the

743
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: one seed to the sixth seed after losing to Alabama?

744
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: How is that possible? At most they would have dropped

745
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: to the two seat, maybe one to two at the months.

746
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: At the most they should have dropped to the four seed.

747
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: How are they not in the playoff? So we were

748
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: going to start the day saying well, Florida straight says, hey,

749
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: if we're the only undefeated team left, maybe we will

750
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: be the national champions. Georgia is the best team in

751
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: the country. By the way, do you feel like it's

752
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: too much when your backup quarterback for Georgia Beck is

753
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: already sitting this one out. It's throwing a touchdown pass

754
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: with twelve minutes to do on the fourth quarter to

755
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:22,959
Speaker 1: make the score sixty three to three.

756
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 2: No, you were left out of the playoffs. Yeah, no,

757
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna keep your foot on the gas.

758
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: Florida. I mean right now, Georgia is showing no mercy.

759
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: Because guess what if it was the other way, If

760
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: Florida State was up by that much, they would keep

761
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 2: their foot on the gas.

762
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: Well, they'd have to.

763
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: This is one of two undefeated teams in the country.

764
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: I will ask this of the Associated Press. So the

765
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: Associated Press has been crowning a national champion since nineteen

766
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: thirty six. They're the old poll out there. They have

767
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: no tie to the college football playoff none. We've seen

768
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: it before. Remember when USC was left out of the

769
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: BCS Championship game, LSU took on Oklahoma. LSU wins Nick

770
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 1: Sabans the coach National champions not according to the AP,

771
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: USC was crowned AP National champions that year. I would

772
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: just love to stick it to what I think was

773
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: the most ill advised, misrepresented play for a national championship,

774
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: which is this current four school playoff format. It's been

775
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: rigged from day one. But for Georgia to get left

776
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: out one to six and what the doing to Florida

777
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: State today. I would hope the AP poll says, I

778
00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: don't care who this is the best team in the country. Yeah,

779
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: this is the best team in the country, Georgia Bulldogs.

780
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: You think any one of the four teams in the

781
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: playoff want to play this team?

782
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 2: And look, no, absolutely not. And they were extatic that

783
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 2: they weren't. They didn't make the one of the four teams.

784
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you this. You know, Florida State doesn't

785
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: have their quarterbacks first, our second string quarterback.

786
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: Correct, Well, what about the defense? Yeah, that defense that

787
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: looks so good, so dynamic defense is given up sixty

788
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: three points. Well, I get I got even uglier stats

789
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: for you. They have given up in this game three

790
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three yards rushing. They've also given up

791
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: two ninety nine in the air. If you want to

792
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 1: do the math, that's six hundred and thirty two yards

793
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: total yards. Georgia's averaging nine point three yards per carry.

794
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: Good lord against the defense that you know, statistically was

795
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in the country. Jim Harvell

796
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: is the central figure in this year's playoff. It's not

797
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Nothing on Washington or Texas is really sparking anything.

798
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: By the way, remember sark is going against the school

799
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: he used to coach, University of Washington. So there are

800
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: a lot of storylines, but Harbaugh's presence in this playoff

801
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: tops all. Now, Harbor's zero to two in the playoffs,

802
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: having lost in the first round, including that inexplicable loss

803
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: of TCU last year. Are you rooting four or against

804
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: Harbor in Michigan because we don't have a horse in

805
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: the race. So I mean, I'm rooting for him.

806
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: You all liked for him to get to the championship

807
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 2: game and then you know, be the Chargers coach next year.

808
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, if you are Jim

809
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and you're advising Jim Harbaugh, and in a way

810
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: when you advise somebody. I remember when Jerry West stepped

811
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: in with Kobe Bryant when Kobe Bryant had hit his

812
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: limit with the Lakers and actually had to sit down

813
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: with Elgin Baylor. I know this because Elgin told me

814
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: to my face the Kobe said I'm coming to the Clippers. Elgin,

815
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: he said it right to my face. And then Jerry

816
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: West called and intervened and brought him back down, saying, look,

817
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 1: There's something to be said about having your name associated

818
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: solely with one franchise, especially everything you've already done for

819
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: this franchise. Don't tarnish this because he had a bad.

820
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 3: Day, because that would have been tarnished.

821
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: So if you're Jim Harbaugh and you've got these NFL offers,

822
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: you finally righted the ship in Michigan. Remember the COVID year.

823
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: They were two and four. Remember they only played six

824
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: games that year in the COVID year. And then they

825
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: asked them for some of their money back. They wanted

826
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: They wanted him out out. He hadn't been in Ohio state.

827
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer owned him Ryan Day. He was not winning

828
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: at Michigan. Now he's beating Ohio Stay three straight years.

829
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: I've always said this, this is my perspective on the

830
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: outside looking in. I'm not gonna deny the fact that

831
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: the NFL is the highest level obviously in football. But

832
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 1: if I'm a coach and I have a great situation

833
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: and a boatload of money at one of the top

834
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: football universities in the country, I keep that job. He's

835
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: already been down the path in the NFL.

836
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: I get it.

837
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 2: But Michigan, that relationship is strained, and it's they've grown

838
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 2: weary of him. He's grown weary of them.

839
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna be even worse in the NFL. Look what

840
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: happened with the forty nine Ers had one off year

841
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: and he was out. Yeah, but you know Jim, he

842
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: can push you. Of course he can't get.

843
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 3: He can push you, but he wins.

844
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: He wins in the short term.

845
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 2: He went, so get you a short term win while

846
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert is still serviceable. Right, This is what we're

847
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 2: talking about. It's not so much about Jim, it's about

848
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert and squandering his talents. We saw a guy

849
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: who had all the talent in the world, can make

850
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 2: all the throws, suffer for twelve years in Detroit.

851
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: But he's going to go to a division with Patrick Mahomes.

852
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,959
Speaker 3: When you're out he wins the Super Bowl.

853
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: Okay, but do you believe that Targers are just a

854
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: few players away or a coach away from winning? I do.

855
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: Playing in the same division as the Chiefs, Yeah, I do,

856
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: because look at the Chiefs. Well, I know this year

857
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: they've been an abomination.

858
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 3: Look at the Chiefs.

859
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: There's an X factor here.

860
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say it, but I'm What I'm

861
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 3: saying is, look at the Chiefs.

862
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: Did you see any Reid yelling at Travis Kelsey? Yeah?

863
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at the Chiefs.

864
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: He's under a lot of pressure. When you're dating the

865
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: most famous woman on the planet, you're under a lot

866
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: of pressure. Kelsey's slamming his helmet down because he was

867
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: left out of a fake pun play and he's upset about.

868
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 3: That going out to dinner. Focus on the game.

869
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: Well, all I know is he's got a great deal

870
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: at Michigan, he really does. And the ball is gonna

871
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: keep rolling. We don't know about J. J. McCarthy. He

872
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: might come back this year, next year, We'll see what happens.

873
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean, look at if he wins the national championship

874
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: this year, Fine, go out on a high note.

875
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 2: It's already a high note. He'll be Ohio State. He's

876
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: in the college football playoffs.

877
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 3: It's high. Yeah.

878
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: But if you've lost two years in a row in

879
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: the college playoffs and that haven't gotten out of the

880
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: semi final, and you know, I mean, that's a toss

881
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: up game on Monday, right Yeah, Alabama Michigan. Yeah, that's

882
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: gonna be good. That's gonna be good. That's a good game.

883
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: So it is Washington, Texas. These are very even games

884
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: on paper. I agree, we're not going to see sixty

885
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: three to three in either one of those games. I

886
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: can promise you that.

887
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, we won't have

888
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 3: any of that.

889
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: But do you think if Alabama beats Michigan, he's like, yeah,

890
00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: I'm done.

891
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, he might as well stay out here.

892
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to win a national championship of Michigan's close.

893
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 2: But does he get closer next year or does he

894
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 2: get further away?

895
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: They got.

896
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 3: That question.

897
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean if he comes to the Chargers

898
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: out like I know what he did with the forty

899
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: nine ers, Yes, I mean he came in into a

900
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: mess and immediately made Alex Smith a winner. Yes, Alex

901
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: Smith had been through what five offensive coordinators in five

902
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: years before Harbor showed up, immediately won with him, and

903
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: then shifted gears his second year with Kaepernick and gets

904
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: all the way to the Super Bowl. I know what

905
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: his track record is starting at the University of San

906
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: Diego with the Terreros. No, I'm Jim Harbaugh man. I

907
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: especially if Michigan is going to be offering him a

908
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: boat load of money.

909
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 3: Your money.

910
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: You really want to work for Dean Spanos. You realize

911
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: that there are reasons why the Jets, the Chargers. Some

912
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: of these franchise are perennial losers. And it starts at

913
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: the top.

914
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 3: Michigan was six, and oh are thirteen and oh this year?

915
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: I know six without him? Six without him? I understand that.

916
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: So that's that's only more reason to stay. Like this

917
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: team is so good they don't even need me.

918
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 2: If the Chargers would have offered him the job last year,

919
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 2: he wouldn't even be admissions.

920
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: I got news for you. He goes to the Chargers,

921
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: he will suffer the same fate that every other coach

922
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,280
Speaker 1: has had under the Spanos regime. I promise you whatever

923
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: magic he has or run out with the Chargers. It's

924
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: just the way it is.

925
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 6: It's like the Jets, the Jets, oh that hooplah with

926
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 6: hard docks and everything else, And to watch Sala on

927
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 6: the sideline and they're getting absolutely blown out by Joe.

928
00:51:54,880 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: Flacco without Amari Cooper. Just the Sala demeanor on the sidelines.

929
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,919
Speaker 1: What is there? What is that look? It's the look

930
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: of a guy saying, well it doesn't matter. I could

931
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 1: lose every game and I'm still guaranteed a job. Why

932
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: he's lost twice as many games as he is won.

933
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,000

Speaker 1: all over the place, and once again it's backup quarterbacks.

936
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna decide the fate of many of these teams.

00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: Will break it down. This is Fox Football Saturday, Steve

947
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: the two of us for Yes twenty twenty three.

948
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: How was your twenty twenty three?

949
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: Very different for me? It's a very different year for

950
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: me because, as you know, over the course of my

951
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: career Illustrious, I have had the good fortune of working

952
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 1: seven days a week. And I say the good fortune

953
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 1: because a lot of people have always said for years

954
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: and years to me, because I'm essentially doing three jobs.

955
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: I would have a Monday through Friday job, and then

956
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: I'd have my weekend national job on radio, and then

957
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: to television on top of that on weekends every Saturday

958
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: and Sunday. And my answer was always the singing in

959
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: the money, Well why do you do this? And my

960
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: answer is because I can. I just never understood the

961
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: dynamic of being offered work and saying no, and someone

962
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: says I will pay you to talk sports. That is like,

963
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: as my dad often said to me, talking sports is

964
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: not really a job, and I said, Dad, You're absolutely right,

965
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: but it is a hell of a way to make

966
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 1: a living. And so I've had this good fortune. But

967
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: I did not have a Monday through Friday's show in

968
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. That may change in twenty twenty four,

969
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 1: but in twenty twenty three I didn't, so I had

970
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: a little more time to myself.

971
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 3: How was that time to yourself?

972
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: Well, I fill it with a lot of stats, as

973
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, and other fun things to do, but you know,

974
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: it gives you a little time to reflect, you know,

975
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: you sort of look back on some of the crazy

976
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: things you do because you know, when you're busy, busy

977
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: busy as you are right now, because you have a

978
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: multitude of jobs, you get so busy you really don't

979
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: even have a chance to breathe, because not only do

980
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: you have all your work and everything, but you have

981
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: your wife, your children. You're caught up in their worlds,

982
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: and so you know, life just goes like this, speeding through,

983
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: just speeding through. And things slow down a little bit

984
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: this year, which is okay at this point in my

985
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: life because usually because I remember, my father made it

986
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: to eighty nine. He had a long life, but he says,

987
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: the older you get it did he just goes faster

988
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: and faster. So I needed a little bit of a

989
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 1: Slowdown's good. I'm anxious to get back to full speed.

990
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: You know.

991
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: I like to work at full speed. Hey, I want

992
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: to ask you about one of the games tomorrow because

993
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: it features a team that was trying to figure out

994
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: life after Tom Brady, and that's the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

995
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: They will host the Saints tomorrow. If the Bucks win

996
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: that game, they clinch the NFC South Baker Mayfield this

997
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 1: year is throwing for thirty six hundred yards with twenty

998
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 1: six touchdowns and just eight picks. He has been statistically

999
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL this year.

1000
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: He actually has better stats than Lamar Jackson. But forget that.

1001
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why people are not talking about him

1002
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,280
Speaker 1: because he's Baker Mayfield. That's why I'm answering my own question,

1003
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: is Tampa sat now quarterback? I mean, you talk about

1004
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: comeback player of the year because I've been talking a

1005
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: lot about Matthew Stafford. Obviously, Joe Flacco's gotten a lot

1006
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: of heat. Where are the votes for comeback player of

1007
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: the Year for Baker Mayfield? Anybody predict this kind of

1008
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: year for Baker Mayfield in Tampa.

1009
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 2: And I love it. I love it for Baker. I

1010
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: think his energy, his willingness to do any and everything

1011
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 2: to win. I think the guys in that locker room

1012
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 2: respect him, understand that. I know Mike Evans loves him, right,

1013
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 2: but they understand that he got dropped into a situation

1014
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: that was almost impossible filling in for Tom Brady. Even

1015
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 2: though Tom Brady had an awful year last year, but

1016
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 2: they still just won a Super Bowl two years removed

1017
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 2: from the Super Bowl, so expectations. You know, the taste

1018
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 2: of victory is still in people's mouths there, especially the

1019
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 2: fan base, and so getting Baker Mayfield off the the

1020
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 2: scrap heap, there was a lot of uncertainty there, and

1021
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 2: Baker took a bad situation and made it a tremendous situation.

1022
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 2: They win this game against the Saints, which they should win,

1023
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 2: they win a division.

1024
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: I remember when I started working for the Raiders in

1025
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,479
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, They're coming up a Super Bowl winning

1026
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: Jim Plunkett was still the quarterback, and I remember talking

1027
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: to Jim about his miraculous comeback story. Like Baker Mayfield,

1028
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: Jim Pluckett was the number one pick in the draft

1029
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: after winning a Heisman Trophy. Same scenario, superstar at Stanford.

1030
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: He goes to a bad franchise, the Patriots. After five

1031
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: years of getting beat up with one of the worst

1032
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: lines in the league, they shipped them off for a

1033
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: bunch of number one picks to the forty nine Ers.

1034
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: He's back home in the Bay Area. All is going

1035
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: to be perfect, except it wasn't. And after two years

1036
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: of the forty nine Ers, he got released. No calls

1037
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: except one the Oakland Raiders. Raiders didn't need a quarterback

1038
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: that Ken Stabler, so he gets signed by the Raiders,

1039
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: does not appear in a single game his first year,

1040
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: zero and then the next year as a backup to Stabler,

1041
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of kneel downs, that's about it.

1042
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: And then the Raiders trade Stabler straight up to the

1043
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: Houston Oilers for their quarterback, Pastorini. Damn Passerini. And yet

1044
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: there's Plunketts still sitting there. And five games into that year,

1045
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: Pastorini breaks his leg, incomes Plunkett, he hasn't played in

1046
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: like three years, leads him to the Super Bowl that

1047
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: year Championship Super Bowl MVP. I asked him though, I said,

1048
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: how are you able to sort of hold it together?

1049
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: Because the whole world is saying you're done, You're finished.

1050
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate it just didn't work, because that's what people

1051
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: are saying about Baker Mayfield done finished that debacle Dad

1052
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: in Carolina, I mean it's over. There's something about certain guys.

1053
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: Look what Joe Flacco's doing right now with the Cleveland Browns.

1054
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: There are certain guys that when everybody else is saying

1055
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: you're finished, you're done mentally can hold it together. Obviously

1056
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: you still have the physical tools to get the job done,

1057
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: but mentally you're able to block out the negativity and

1058
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: still believe in yourself. And so Baker Mayfield is just

1059
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: the latest of these kind of quarterbacks. And then again,

1060
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: this is a guy who walked on two schools. Remember

1061
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: he was a walk on it Texas Tech and started

1062
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: the first game as a walk on, and then he

1063
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: goes to Oklahoma as a walking and ends up winning

1064
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. So I don't know why anybody should

1065
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: be surprised that when it's all said and done, Baker Mayfield,

1066
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: as long as they weren't going to pull the plug

1067
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: on him and give him a chance to get his

1068
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: feedback under him, was going to produce. And that's exactly

1069
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: what he's done. Now watch you, you'll throw four picks tomorrow.

1070
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: I do this, I do a big build up on somebody.

1071
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: They lay an egg that Tampa should win tomorrow, and

1072
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: again they beat the Saints tomorrow, they will clinch the

1073
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: NFC South. I love stories like this, especially in a

1074
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: game like football, because it is such a mental game.

1075
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: You got all the physical tools, you're gonna get everyone's

1076
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: getting beat up.

1077
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 2: But how do you just you gotta stay locked in, man.

1078
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's late in the year. You got two

1079
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 2: games left. Everybody's banged up, everybody's tired, everybody's weary.

1080
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 3: This is when you push through. This is when you

1081
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 3: push through. Man.

1082
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: It's tough, tough part of the year. Can I ask you?

1083
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: By the way, it is a final now. Georgia DEFEATA

1084
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: Florida State. It was close, sixty three to three, sixty

1085
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: three to three. Remember they won the championship game against

1086
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: TCU last year sixty five to seven. So their last

1087
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: two years have ended up combined, winning one hundred in

1088
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: twenty eight to ten in their last game of the year. Yeah,

1089
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: that's not bad. That's Kirby smart. If the if the

1090
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: Buccaneers win against the Saints, their position is locked in

1091
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 1: as the four seed. They will host a playoff game,

1092
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: most likely against the Cowboys. Do you rest everybody in

1093
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: Week eighteen? If you're the Buccaneers, you say, yeah, take

1094
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: the week off because you will be playing obviously wild

1095
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: card weekend.

1096
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 3: You get healthy, So you do, you get healthy.

1097
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm always a little nervous about you get.

1098
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 2: A double by Man that is invaluable.

1099
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you get a week. See where teams I

1100
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: think have made a mistake is like if you have

1101
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: a bye and then you take off week eighteen, and

1102
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: then you have another bye week. Now you've been offered

1103
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: three weeks. Too much, too much, that's too much. But

1104
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: if you're the Buccaneers, you win.

1105
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 2: The guys healthy, keep them in the building, come to meetings,

1106
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Come give them two days off. Yeah right, keep them,

1107
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 2: keep them locked into the schedule. But don't put don't

1108
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: take them outside. Just give them up, give them a chance,

1109
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 2: a little breather, Give them a breather. Man, you need

1110
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 2: it right now.

1111
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I know you need it to feel better.

1112
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 3: But hey, brou.

1113
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you three or four days off at this

1114
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 2: time in a year. It means everything.

1115
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: It does.

1116
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 3: You gotta remember.

1117
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 2: The only people that practice is not the game like

1118
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 2: game for our quarterbacks, receivers and dbs everybody else. There's hitting,

1119
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 2: there's collisions, there's all of that.

1120
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. Let me ask a

1121
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: quick questions. So when a season would end, and I'm

1122
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: not talking if you had some kind of season, any

1123
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: injury or face in immediate surgery. I'm just talking about

1124
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: a normal season. Who you walk away unscathed from a

1125
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: serious injury. Of course you're hurt, But how long does

1126
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: it take the body to recover once the season is over?

1127
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 3: Oh about it a month?

1128
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: About a month? A month? So four days makes a difference.

1129
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does because you're still going, right, you're still going.

1130
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 2: You have a sprain ankle or sprain MCL and you

1131
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 2: don't have you can just get treatment, you don't have

1132
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 2: to practice.

1133
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 3: You get more rest. That's huge.

1134
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't know everyone gets and that they lose. You're like, oh, well,

1135
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: will you do what you're breaking up?

1136
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 3: What you don't want to do is play twenty games straight.

1137
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's trending right now, here's

1138
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: the guy that's just been working how many days straight?

1139
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: That's right, Martin is here, Martin Weiss's you got your

1140
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: show coming up? That's true.

1141
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 8: Just about half an hour, we'll be coinciding with the

1142
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 8: kickoff of the Lines and the Cowboys.

1143
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Looking forward to this. By the way, Jimmy Johnson being

1144
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: honored in the Ring of Honor. Finally, so many weird

1145
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: stories about why this took so long, but anyway, I.

1146
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 8: Saw a great Uh, somebody clipped it. It's from a

1147
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 8: documentary from like whenever Jimmy Johnson was coaching the Cowboys,

1148
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 8: he used to eat chips and salsa for dinner during

1149
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 8: training camp. Yeah, he's dressed all white too, so you

1150
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 8: know he's a man that lives life on the edge.

1151
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Coaches do not normally have the best eating habits.

1152
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 8: So let's get to some of these college football scores

1153
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 8: right now. One game is still in progress, Toledo Wyoming

1154
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 8: and the Arizona Ball Toledo with a two point lead,

1155
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 8: fifteen to thirteen. You just mentioned to Steve it wasn't

1156
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 8: exactly close. In the Capitol One Orange Bowl, the only

1157
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 8: stat in which Florida State out gained or out did

1158
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 8: Georgia was.

1159
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: Field goal kicking.

1160
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 8: Yes, Florida State kicked one and Georgia kicked a nine nothing.

1161
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: And most of the time.

1162
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 8: When you hear four quarterbacks play in a game like

1163
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 8: you can think of something disastrous must have happened. Well,

1164
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 8: it did, sixty three to three the final score as

1165
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 8: Georgia moves on to thirteen and one. Florida State falls

1166
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 8: to thirteen and one. I mean, it's kind of ridiculous.

1167
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 8: Georgia had forty seven rushing attempts in this game to

1168
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 8: Florida State's twenty six twenty receptions for three hundred and

1169
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 8: one yards in the game to Florida State's ten for

1170
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 8: one forty five. Yeah, it was pretty much over well

1171
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 8: before the second quarter started, but definitely over at halftime

1172
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 8: as it was a halftime scored forty two to three.

1173
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: So I guess you know. They held them to twenty

1174
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: one in the second half. There you go, They held

1175
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: them to thirty five in the second quarter.

1176
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 8: Right exactly. Ole Miss beat Penn State thirty eight to

1177
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 8: twenty five. Maryland beat Auburn earlier today in the Music

1178
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 8: City Bowl thirty one to thirteen. Charles Kelly, former Buffalo Colorado,

1179
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 8: Buffalo's defensive coordinator, will be joining that Auburn coaching staff

1180
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 8: next season as a co defensive coordinator in the NFL.

1181
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 8: The safety Seahawks have released three time Pro Bowl or

1182
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 8: Frank Clark, added some safety Jamal Adams to injured reserve.

1183
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 8: Kansas City Chiefs activate McCole Hartman from injured reserve. He'll

1184
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 8: play Sunday against Cincinnati, so will running back Isaiah Bacheco,

1185
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 8: who has cleared concussion protocol. Green Bay Packers will be

1186
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 8: without two different cornerbacks Tomorrow's game against the Vikings. Eric

1187
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 8: Stokes has a hamstring injury and JayR Alexander snunck onto

1188
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 8: the field for the coin toss bungled. The call was

1189
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 8: not a captain, but you know what he's from Charlotte,

1190
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 8: So I guess Matt Leaflour was supposed to just go

1191
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 8: with it. Matt Leafloor, it turns out did not go

1192
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 8: with it, and now the Packers will not be going

1193
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 8: with JayR Alexander tomorrow.

1194
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: He is suspended.

1195
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 8: Linebackers Mile Jack and defensive back Eric Rowe elevated from

1196
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 8: the Jewish practice squad ahead of Sunday's game with the

1197
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 8: Seahawks in the NBA.

1198
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: We had a.

01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:31,120

01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 3: RJ.

Speaker 8: Barrett et Manuel quickly and a second round pick headed back.

1203
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 8: Games in progress. I think those Knicks are playing right now,

1204
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 8: Yes they are. End of the first quarter, they're trailing

1205
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 8: the Pacers thirty two to twenty seven, and the third

1206
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 8: quarter was seven minutes and fifteen seconds left.

1207
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 3: The Detroit Pistons with a three to nothing.

1208
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, three point lead, sixty eight, well, five point

1209
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 8: lead now sixty eight to sixty three, seven minutes left

1210
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 8: in the third quarter. There also a trade in baseball.

1211
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,919
Speaker 8: The Red Sox are trading seven time All Star Chris

1212
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 8: Sale to the Atlanta Braves.

1213
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: Sale had to wave a no trade clause for the

1214
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: deal to go through, but he will be in Atlanta.

1215
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 8: Atlanta sends back in fields prospects Vaughn Grissom and cash.

1216
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 8: And finally one more NFL note, Juju Smith Schuster, New

1217
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 8: England Patriots wide receiver and forming long beach poly Jack

1218
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 8: Rabbit is on injury reserve, ending his season. He was

1219
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 8: a free agent acquisition for the Patriots and totaled two

1220
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 8: hundred and sixty yards and one touchdown on the year.

1221
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 8: Ephraim Steve back to you guys.

1222
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: All right, Martin, thank you very much, great stuff. As always,

1223
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: once again we're coming to live from the tire Rack

1224
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: dot Com Studios. So I imagined the fact that Jimmy Johnson,

1225
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: before this game coming up here shortly between the Lions

1226
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys, is finally being honored with the Ring

1227
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: of Honor there for the Cowboys. Another player's being honored

1228
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: this weekend by an NFL team. That would be Ray Rice,

1229
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: who's being honored by the Baltimore Ravens as one of

1230
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the legends of the game. So when you think of

1231
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Ray Rice, who by the way, was a very good

1232
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: running back, we're always reminded of the video that plays

1233
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: over and over and over again of the knockout punch

1234
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 1: of his then fiance Jeanne Palmer, who, by the way,

1235
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: is still his wife. Do you have a problem with

1236
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens honoring Ray Rice?

1237
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 2: It just seems in poor taste, you know, outside of

1238
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 2: his football accomplishments. I mean, what is Ray Rice known for?

1239
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:47,719
Speaker 2: So that will be on the forefront of everybody's mind, right,

1240
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,879
Speaker 2: It's just what it is. You can't unsee it. Similar

1241
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 2: to Michael Vick and dogfighting.

1242
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: But Michael Vick overcame it.

1243
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 3: He did overcome it because he went to prison.

1244
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: He went to prison. He also paid back.

1245
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he went to prison.

1246
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: He did go to prison.

1247
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get do overs if you go serve your time.

1248
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Ray Rice since his career and.

1249
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 3: Build his fiance in an elevator, and.

1250
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: Yet she's still married to him, by the way, that

1251
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: must be bizarre with their kids and everything. You know

1252
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:26,640
Speaker 1: that that video's out there forever of dad delivering a

1253
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: left hook to mom, knocked her out, then dragging her

1254
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: unconscious body out of an elevator. But ever since then

1255
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 1: he has become a motivational speaker. He has addressed high

1256
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: school students and college athletes speaking out against domestic violence.

1257
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 1: And I love all of that. I mean, he's much

1258
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: like Michael Vick. Michael Vick went to prison. He went

1259
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: to prison, he did his time. I remember at the

1260
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: time thinking, no team will sign this guy. As bad

1261
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: as it is a domestic violence and everything else, killing

1262
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: dogs is even worse in some respects. So a lot

1263
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:00,879
Speaker 1: of people because they get so connected to their animals.

1264
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that, But but you know how search

1265
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 2: killing your wife, Well, I get it.

1266
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 3: Let's not do that. Okay, what about let's not minimize.

1267
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: That he has redeemed himself.

1268
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 3: I get it, but let's not minimize human life.

1269
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm not minimizing it at all. But I do know

1270
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 1: how certain people feel about defenseless animals.

1271
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 2: I get that. I understand that. But human life is

1272
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 2: human life. Okay, that's just what it is. I love dogs.

1273
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 2: I'm a dog guy. We had a dog with seventeen years.

1274
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 2: She passed away this year. Just destroyed us, destroyed us.

1275
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: I have two older dogs right now.

1276
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness, destroyed it. Well, I know, seventeen years old.

1277
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:50,480
Speaker 3: She did it. Beat the odds.

1278
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 1: Big dog, small dogs, tall dogs. Those small dogs live forever.

1279
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 3: No, they don't.

1280
01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 2: Nine years, I think is really the gay was seventeen

1281
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,480
Speaker 2: with fifteen.

1282
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 1: But you know how it is. I mean, we like

1283
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: stories where someone has worked hard to redeem themselves. I

1284
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: love it. I love it. It's been ten years since

1285
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 1: he played in the NFL. But I'm with you. I

1286
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: mean it just y K not doing it, man, because

1287
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: that video is not going anywhere.

1288
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 3: That video was, oh got it.

1289
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 1: But then again, neither's the Joe Mixon video of knocking

1290
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: out that girl when he was at Oklahoma. That's out

1291
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: there all the time. Do you ever think about that

1292
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 1: when he's there? How about Kareem Hunt hey man kicking

1293
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 1: a woman when she's on the ground. I don't know

1294
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: where do you draw the line. I remember in the

1295
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 1: aftermath of Ray Writs, remember the league suspended him for

1296
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: two games and they said they couldn't see that video.

1297
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:55,759
Speaker 1: TMZ made one phone call and got the video, remember

1298
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: that they got one. They made one phone call. By

1299
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 1: the way, do you have that video? Sure? We got

1300
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: the video?

1301
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 3: Really?

1302
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: Can we have it?

1303
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 4: Sure?

1304
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: And that in the NFL then said, that's the first

1305
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 1: time we saw that video. Did you ask to see

1306
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 1: the video of what happened? Why he was dragging his

1307
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: unconscious girlfriend or fiance out of an elevator? Did you

1308
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: even think of asking? So it was a big cover

1309
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: up by the NFL. And then of course once it

1310
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: came out and the Ravens released him, he never played.

1311
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 3: Again, never played another snap.

1312
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Not another snap. But the timing of this for the Ravens,

1313
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, a team that's coming off that huge win

1314
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers, you know, right now you'd

1315
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 1: have to say they're the number one team currently in

1316
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: the NFL. Lamark Jackson has shot up to the favorite

1317
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 1: of the MVP voting and now you're going to honor

1318
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: ray Rice.

1319
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 3: Just seems like weird timing.

1320
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't it. So he's laid in the season, like if

1321
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: you honored Ray Rice, maybe you know the third game

1322
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 1: of the year, something you know, throwaway game, like yeah,

1323
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: you know you were player for us, you.

1324
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:02,599
Speaker 3: Know, but Eam's a bit off.

1325
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 1: But you know, it just seems bizarre, but that's exactly

1326
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with the Ravens. All right, we're getting

1327
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: ready for this game between the Lions and the Cowboys.

1328
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: Is being home enough to get the Cowboys back on track?

1329
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: We'll break it down. This is Fox Football Saturday, and

1330
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: now the clock.

1331
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 9: Will begin to tick for the final ten seconds of

1332
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 9: the ball game, both teams meeting in the middle of

1333
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 9: the field for a handshake and a congratulations and a

1334
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 9: resounding Georgia victory sixty three to three the final. The

1335

Speaker 9: Dogs win their thirteenth game of the season, finished the

1336
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 9: year at thirteen to one in Florida State's nineteen game

1337
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 9: winning streak.

1338
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 1: Here tonight in Miami, that Scott hard from Lairfield convincing

1339
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,679
Speaker 1: doesn't seem strong enough when you beat somebody sixty three

1340
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: to three, So the Georgia Bulldogs did at Florida State.

01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: Most important, just good people. I mean, that's what I

1373
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: always look at it. You know when I when I

1374
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 1: think about my children, I always and they say how

1375
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: your kids are doing? My answer is always the same.

1376
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 1: They're good people. That's it. That's what you want. I mean,

1377
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean wherever they're going to go in their in

1378
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,680
Speaker 1: their lives, say, there are a lot of people that

1379
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 1: have outward success that are not good people.

1380
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 2: As a parent, that's all we're trying to do our

1381
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:47,759
Speaker 2: goals to raise good human beings.

1382
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 1: That's it. Just be a good person we want and

1383
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 1: my kids are good people, and so is Brandon as well.

1384
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna ask a quick question here, who

1385
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: is this year's NFL Coach of the Year.

1386
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 2: Well, I think these final two games, h I mean

1387
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 2: a lot I like Todd Bowles and what we did.

1388
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 2: We spoke about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier and what

1389
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 2: he's been able to do with uh, and also ran

1390
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:27,639
Speaker 2: in and Baker Mayfield. I like Damico Ryans coming from

1391
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 2: where the Houston Texans were the last few years. Uh,

1392
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 2: and they'd be in a little better shape if you know.

1393
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:36,640
Speaker 3: C J.

1394
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 2: Stroud didn't get the the the headache, but they won

1395
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:45,480
Speaker 2: the draft and and and now we're seeing that paying dividend.

1396
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 2: I like Mike McDaniels and in in Miami, UH seeing

1397
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 2: him put put together UH, that team with that talent,

1398
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 2: and the biggest question was is two of the guy

1399
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:00,639
Speaker 2: can he day healthy?

1400
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 3: Can he do this? And can he do that?

1401
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 2: And you know, all of these coaches have players who

1402
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 2: there were question marks over their heads and teams with

1403
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 2: question marks, and we've seen them thrive.

1404
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: It's interesting. All worthy names, by the way, but they

1405
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 1: are two names that you did not mention that honestly

1406
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: top my list. One of them is Sean McVay.

1407
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's ya.

1408
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: Because the Rams came into this season rebuilt. It was

1409
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: a complete rebuild. The one thing everyone said, well, even

1410
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: if you get a healthy Matthew Stafford, even if you

1411
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: have an Aaron Donald healthy, they have no death. I

1412
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 1: mean they basically sold everybody off. I mean they were

1413
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: over the Caps so badly to you know, get the

1414
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 1: players necessary to again big payoff. They won the Super Bowl,

1415
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,879
Speaker 1: so that's an amazing job. And Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland,

1416
01:17:55,560 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you took Joe Flacco off the couch. He

1417
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: by his own emission, he was hoping somebody would call him.

1418
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Nobody called him. You know, he said, I've had a

1419
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,640
Speaker 1: great career. I've been a super Bowl champion. I had

1420
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: some really successful years in Baltimore. Didn't end up well.

1421
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: You know, I was with the Jets. I got news

1422
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: for you. Everyone's a loser with the Jets, just like

1423
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: everyone's a loser with the Chargers. But he comes to

1424
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,719
Speaker 1: an organization that said, you know what, who's still believe

1425
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 1: in you? And he's just winging it. You can just see.

1426
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean he's throwing some interceptions. You know, I love

1427
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that take chances, and that's what he's doing with

1428
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 1: the blessing. By the way of Kevin Stefanski, He's so

1429
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 1: when I look at coaches like, you know, it's funny

1430
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. The problem for Dan Cambell and the Coach

1431
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 1: of the Year voting is like last year was his

1432
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 1: coach of the year because the Lions came into this

1433
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 1: season favored to win the NFC North. Yes, so they

1434
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: did exactly what they were expected to do. Uh, you

1435
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: talk about Mike McDaniel, You can talk about some of

1436
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 1: these other coaches. Shane Steichen has done a pretty good

1437
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:05,759
Speaker 1: job with Indianapolis. Yes, as a rookie coach. Anthony Richards

1438
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: and he lost.

1439
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 2: These last two weeks, yeah are very important. Yeah, starting

1440
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:16,600
Speaker 2: tonight and then moving forward very important.

1441
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 3: Well, it started actually Thursday.

1442
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: I didn't have to ask you about the Russell Wilson situation.

1443
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: Sean Payton was in my running for Coach of the

1444
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 1: Year until that unfortunate loss. Is past week, so they're

1445
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 1: pretty much out of the playoff picture. But the way

1446
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 1: they've handled this Russell Wilson situation, I mean, the argument

1447
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: that he's not good is bad. So I mentioned he

1448
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: has seven more touchdown passes in your NFL MVP favorite

1449
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: right now, Lamar Jackson. It's not Russell Wilson that is

1450
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: the reason this team is sitting around five hundred. The

1451
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,639
Speaker 1: problem was they had no defense early in the year

1452
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 1: that completely dismantled them. They were able to finally get

1453
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: their defense on track. But when you build a one

1454
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: in five hole, it's hard to get out of that.

1455
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Guess the question is it's always easy to say, well,

1456
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,640
Speaker 1: we'll get rid of this player, this coach who is

1457
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: replacing Russell Wilson. They're not going to have a top

1458
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:09,759
Speaker 1: pick in the draft.

1459
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:17,759
Speaker 3: Look, sometimes quarterbacks and coaches are all in water.

1460
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Sean Payton was never comfortable with Russell Wilson

1461
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: as his quarterback.

1462
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:21,880
Speaker 3: And there you have it.

1463
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: Okay, that's great Sean Paytne. But what's your plan? B Well,

1464
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what exactly is your next move at the

1465
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: quarterback position? I'll be curious, all right, who's gonna win

1466
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: this game? Are the Cowboys gonna win at home? Or

1467
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 1: can the Lions pull an upset e.

1468
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 3: From you know what? I believe? Happy New Year?

1469
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: Just like that, Happy New Year, everybody, keep it on

1470
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:47,880
