37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: it's been a rough year for you.

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: And when it comes to the NFL, and here's another one.

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: Hold on, first of all, don't be acting like it's over.

40
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm just ain't over yet. No, just hear me out,

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, because what's over is your terrible prediction that

42
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers were gonna be just like a year ago.

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Instead last year they stumbled at the end.

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: This year they've won three in a row. After that

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: terrible game by Aaron Rodgers, always done. I wouldn't want

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: him back. And if you look at how he's played

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: and listen to the NFL analysts talking about his play

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: has really picked up in the last three weeks.

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had some beautiful balls. He had some yesterday.

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Did you see that one thing?

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: Okay?

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: But here's the point is all year you questioned the Steelers.

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: You just you, you pooh pooed it. I wouldn't wait

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: for ever, Roder. You need a quarter back for the future.

55
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: Baha bad bad bah bah. And here they are.

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: Not only did they go to Detroit and beat your

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: Lions that were favored by seven and a half. Okay,

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 4: not only did they do that, they now have put

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: themselves in position to.

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: Win the division. Yes, they can win the division this year.

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: And guess what.

62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: You were wrong about Aaron Rodgers, wrong about the Steelers,

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 4: and wrong that this is just the same old, same old.

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: It is not the same old, same old.

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: And I feel as convinced as I ever have been

66
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: because I told you that they would win a playoff game,

67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: and the way that.

68
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: They've played, there's no reason why the Steelers can't beat

69
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers or whoever might come in for that playoff

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: game in January in Pittsburgh and the Coole I.

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: Looked at the team, How in the.

72
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: World did they go to Detroit in a must win

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: for the Lions and pull that off with great explosion plays.

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 4: They rushed the football, they stopped the Lion's two headed

75
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: monster fifteen yards.

76
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: Was terrible. They didn't even have TJ. Watt did even play.

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: He's got to collapse long.

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: So my point was you didn't understand why they waited

79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers.

80
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: And this is exhibit A.

81
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Two weeks left in the season and they're poised to

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: win the division. That's why they waited. They finally have

83
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Not the greatest quarterback.

84
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: Playing, but a guy who knows how to play the position.

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: That's what they've been missing for the last eight or

86
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: nine years after Ben Roethlisberger. Maybe not that, but since

87
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: he left, they didn't have anybody who could play quarterback.

88
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: That's why Mike Tomlin, you.

89
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: Want to know the love affair if they if they

90
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: get win the division and win a playoff game, they

91
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 4: might get married.

92
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, are you kidding? Mike Thomlins been dying to

93
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: win a playoff game. This is his guy. They have

94
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: some synergy, right, They got a bro man. He looked

95
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: at that guy and said, that's a quarterback. I would

96
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: love to play with that guy the Jets they discarded

97
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: and where the Jets today? They said it was Aaron Rodgers. Right, Oh,

98
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: let's get rid of him. Let's go get Justin Fields.

99
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: We have a quarterback for the Where's Justin Fields? He

100
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: ain't even playing. Aaron Rodgers forty one years old.

101
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 4: And the bottom line is he knows how to play

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: the position. I'm not surprised.

103
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: That's why I bet you on that that they would

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: win more than nine games. That's why I said that

105
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: they would win a playoff game. These aren't all after

106
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: the fact. This is what I added and talked about

107
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: prior to the season. So I'm not just talking off

108
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: the top of my head. I know everybody says.

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: Oh, you know me, stop it. I don't play that game.

110
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: Why you can't love Aaron Rodgers though, that's what I

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: feel the Steelers gonna do.

112
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: But Aaron rod though, it's not because that's not what

113
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: That's not who I am.

114
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't care about that.

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: Now, That's where I get matched. That's where I get mad.

116
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't care because if you if you don't know,

117
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: stop it. Everybody listening watching, who knows you? Your text

118
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: group emails, friends from your the the ten eleven friends

119
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: from back home. Everybody knows you love Aaron Rodgers, and

120
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: that's okay.

121
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: You don't love.

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: Roger now does nobody believes that? Not a single person

123
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: in this showers I've never seen play out of doubts.

124
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: Look at the spring looking eyes, Look at the sparkling

125
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest quarterback. And look, I didn't

126
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: even see you. No, I don't even see you talking

127
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: about nobody else. You get a sparking sea. Now, let

128
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: me get back to what I'm saying. What I've told

129
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: you since the whole conversation about him possibly coming, it's

130
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: literally manifesting itself. I told you they were going to

131
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: be the exact same team they were a Russell Wilson.

132
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: You know what Russell Wilson was. He was six and five.

133
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: He had twenty four hundred yards twenty he had sixteen touchdown.

134
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: Remember he only played eleven he is touchdowns, five interceptions.

135
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers he almost as Russell Wilson, will almost have

136
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: in more yards with him in only eleven games. Right now,

137
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: they're sitting here, what are they? Nine and seven? No,

138
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: nine to six. They got a chance to go nine

139
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: and eight, maybe ten or eleven. Will see they have

140
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: a chance to look exactly the same Last year they

141
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,119
Speaker 1: were ten and seven, They might be ten and seven,

142
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: the exact same team. And if you look at this

143
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: to play the quarterback, it can look the exact same.

144
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: And you talk about the division.

145
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: It took Andrew Lamar Jackson injured Joe Burrow for then

146
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: to have a shot.

147
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that Aaron Rods I never.

148
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Said he was. To quote me, I said, Aaron Rodgers

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: is not gonna suck. He can't suck. He's Aaron Rodgers,

150
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. I agree with you

151
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: on that. My point was simply, they're gonna look the

152
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: same be nine and eight, which is what I thought

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: ten and seven, what you thought they were ten and

154
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: seven last year. Russell Wilson wasn't horrible, just like Aaron

155
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers is playing all right, and they're not gonna win.

156
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: And I was saying, what was the point is off?

157
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: You talk about the Bears. They've got their guy for

158
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: the future, right they feel good? No no, no, no,

159
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: no no, no, hell you told you told me Caleb

160
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: couldn't play.

161
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: No, that's not what I said. You did. No, no, no,

162
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: you didn't listen. No, I go on you to it.

163
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: I know what.

164
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: He has not played on you. I said, he has

165
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: go on you too, and you and you he has

166
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: not you.

167
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna be we'll talk about this next season, and

168
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: we'll talk about gonna be Bears, and we'll talk about us.

169
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: That is that.

170
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead and we'll talk about that next hour. So

171
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: my whole point was they looked the exact same as

172
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: last year. And that's all I'm saying. Go find your

173
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels went healthy, Go find your boat Knicks,

174
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: go find your Drake made. Is what all I was

175
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: saying with the Steelers was if the issue has been

176
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: you guys make it to the you go above five hundred.

177
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: But that's not a big deal. They make it to

178
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: the postseason, they don't win a game since twenty sixteen, seventeen,

179
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: whatever it is. That to me, they look the exact same.

180
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: You're not all the sames, you're not watching the game.

181
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: Team's the last couple week, got the same team are

182
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: What did they they actually love? What what was their

183
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: record at the end of the year last seven I'm

184
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: talking about, how did they get to that record, They

185
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: lost their last five, they lost two straight, they lost

186
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: three straight, they lost and what if they lost too straight?

187
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: Rob So all I've said, I don't I feel the same.

188
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: They're possibly gonna be nine to eight or ten and seven,

189
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: just like with Russell Wilson. So if they win in

190
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: the last two games, they're gonna be nine and seven.

191
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: So I said they could part.

192
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: We have to wake.

193
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: They give me an option of them winning the last

194
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: two games. You said, you said they absolutely have the will.

195
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Now it's gonna hurt even harder thanks to lot to

196
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: DK doing wild stuff. Now you lose your number one target,

197
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: your number one receiver. So my point then months ago,

198
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: two months ago, two weeks ago, and two minutes ago

199
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: is the same. I look at the Steers supposed to

200
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: go to YouTube and look at the old clips.

201
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 2: Yes, I I could sit and argue with you.

202
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: Why they're gonna where you were telling me that he

203
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: is the m v P of the league.

204
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: What I'm thing is, it's not this they're gonna move.

205
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: It's the exact same, not the same. They did not

206
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: win the division last year, and you get the division.

207
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: It was Lamar Jackson Hill, and you can't tell Lamar

208
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Jackson Hill and you can't tell me that they don't

209
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: have a chance to super Bowl pick and they have

210
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: a chance.

211
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: Well he did not my point.

212
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying the reason that there you said that they

213
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: were the same, They're the same.

214
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 4: They didn't win the division and last year they had

215
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: no chance to win a play.

216
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: They would not win division. Wasn't hurt.

217
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: We all know that if the mast they don't win

218
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: that So that's all I said. You could see it

219
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: a minute ago. You're making excuses with the Lions because

220
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: of injuries. Not Yes, Ros, That's that's why you brought

221
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: it up. That's why you brought it up over the

222
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: rundown jovin Washington. Dan Campbell for the Detroit Lions lost you.

223
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: That's what I was training staff.

224
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: I brought it up. Who's the china staff with the Lions?

225
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: Because they got it. Roy.

226
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: You can scream all you want, I'm not telling you

227
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: and Stars are the same.

228
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: That you're wrong.

229
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 4: Admit that you don't know what you're talking about. When

230
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 4: you came to Aaron Rodgers, they looked exact same. They're

231
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 4: not the same, Kim the same.

232
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: Are you watching the game? Yes? I am watching.

233
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: Were looking at the Russell Wilson and we were like,

234
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, look at this. And they turned around

235
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: and lost five or six straight and they looked the

236
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: exact same. So I don't understand why we even argued

237
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: about it what we're.

238
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 4: Argued about it, because I heard eight different analysts on television.

239
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: You know what they said today?

240
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: They said, yesterday's win by the Steelers might be the

241
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: biggest win that we've seen in the NFL all year.

242
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: And you're telling me this is the same team as

243
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,239
Speaker 1: a year ago, because.

244
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: No it is not. You want the game, No it ain't. No,

245
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: you diss Jessiel Wilson.

246
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 4: You know what's even better than as you left here

247
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 4: on Friday with the idea that you were feeling good

248
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: that I'm gonna be because I picked the Lions.

249
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: What what done?

250
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: I picked the Lions before the football even started, picked

251
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: the Lions back in the spring. I picked the Lions

252
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: the day they lost to Washington all kelvin.

253
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: So I'm telling you I've said the same thing Steelers

254
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: are supposed to Literally, I said the same in the UFL.

255
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: You go ahead, like I said, the Pittsburgh Steelers are

256
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: supposed to be a blue blood of this NFL. I

257
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: ain't won a super Bowl. Down the hole no longer.

258
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: I can't win the playoff game, but get to the

259
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl, right, I got it? Okay, they have been

260
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: a much better team than the Steelers allowed. How the

261
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: super Bowls have they been to? We're talking about the

262
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: last few guys. I'm duh, that's an easy one. Like

263
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: I was saying, so the Steelers. All I'm saying is

264
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: if I was part of that French I will say,

265
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: I want to get back to you.

266
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: This is the same I want to make you.

267
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: You don't know what you're looking at because it ain't

268
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: the same team you Okay, they look just like they

269
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: look just like it's they have no shot to win

270
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: a playoff game? Is that what you're saying.

271
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm asking. I'm not saying I don't have a shot. Okay,

272
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: they're not going to win the division.

273
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes out there and Jackson. I don't care about

274
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: Joe talking about where they are. So that's what I'm saying.

275
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow not playing. I'm saying a full season or

276
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: even a game or two, Joe Burrow, you know what

277
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

278
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: He's playing.

279
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow you start last night. Did he play you

280
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm saying they when they played

281
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: game all that other stuff. If he plays, they went wrong,

282
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: Just that you're wrong. They've won nine games. Rob they

283
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: were they might not even win ten games. I said

284
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: they would be the same. They have nine games. You're

285
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: acting like. First of all, you're acting like it's over.

286
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: They mess around to win nine games. I can't wait

287
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: to hear the hr you, Elijah, and I'll wait that

288
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: they've won time.

289
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: You got the Lions going to the playoffs. Still they

290
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: won nine games? What what.

291
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: I'm not binding. They don't look great all I'm telling

292
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 4: they won nine games. You've been wrong up and down

293
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 4: the board.

294
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: You told me about the Chief said their wide receivers

295
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: and how they were going to the super Bowl again

296
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: and they were all backs and Patrick Mahomes is the

297
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 1: m v P. I heard all that you told me

298
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: about the Lions and that they were going to get

299
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl and they're going.

300
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: To do this.

301
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 4: I heard all that you were wrong. You told me

302
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 4: about the Steelers. You were wrong about that, Williams, you

303
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 4: were wrong about that.

304
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: Have we major wrong on this one?

305
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: And this is what and this is you're wrong. I

306
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: literally am not wrong. They're nine wins. Rob I predicted

307
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: they would win nine wins.

308
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 4: Predicted they win the division and have a chance to

309
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: win a playoff game. First, they have not won the

310
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: cost the home playoffs and not won the division.

311
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: I said a lot of stuff. I said, have a

312
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: chance that you keep giving out a lot of stuff.

Speaker 9: Kevin, It's my old job, he.

389
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 6: Used to say.

390
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 9: Sometimes situations on the ground have changed. I think that

391
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 9: team that I saw with the Steelers yesterday, I didn't

392
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 9: see that type of team last year.

393
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: They would have never won that game last year.

394
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 9: Never, I have never inspired. So when I saw that

395
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 9: as night, that type of Stillers team that you know,

396
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 9: the kind of that beat the Lions at their own game.

397
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 9: I mean out Muslim and out Russiam. I mean when

398
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 9: they have the better backs, the better receivers, the better

399
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 9: you know. It just showed me something and that's still

400
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 9: the team. Last night with Aaron Rodger, I mean, I

401
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 9: think this team here we saw that name, is just

402
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 9: not the same team. Russell Wilson did not inspire that

403
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 9: type of that type of you know, belief in that

404
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 9: they could do something.

405
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: Remember this, Tim They lost their last five games last year,

406
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: including the playoffs, six in a row.

407
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 4: So they were fading last year. This team is ascending.

408
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: That's why it's not the same team.

409
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 10: It ain't the same team.

410
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: It ain't know, We'll see it ain't the same. You

411
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: can't tell me it's the same. If they the season

412
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: at ten and seven.

413
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: No, they're gonna win the division. What are you talking about?

414
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: That's not the same out. I don't care about it.

415
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: Who's next? Who's next?

416

00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 10: If you can can't say your name, what's your guy?

430
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 10: I wanted to say that the Steelers, man is, they're legit.

431
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 10: If they win a couple more games, they're They're right,

432
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 10: They're good. I don't like Aaron Rodgers being from Minnesota,

433
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 10: but right, I get that.

434
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,440

00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: it a little bit later in the week.

Speaker 2: TJ?

485
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 4: I'm showing my ass all day on this radio show

486
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: because all week all season, I tried to tell Kelvin

487
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: the Lions they making the play right over.

488
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: I told him that Caleb is a real deal.

489
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: He said he was gonna be getting benched at that

490
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 4: midway point of the season. Well, I told him that

491
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 4: the stealers or with Aaron Rodgers, that's why they waited

492
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 4: on him.

493
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: We got all these things to talk about. Let's start

494
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: with the Lions.

495
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: How shocked are you that they went from the number

496
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 4: one seed last year to potentially, I mean, mathematically they're

497
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 4: still in it, but the chance of them making the

498
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 4: playoffs are very slim.

499
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: Where are you?

500
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 5: It's not shocking to me. When you lose your offensive

501
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 5: coordinator and your defensive coordinator, you there's gonna be some

502
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 5: type of you're gonna take a step back. That's what

503
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 5: I felt. I felt like the Lions would take a

504
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 5: step back, especially when you're really defined by your offense

505
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 5: and being able to just go up and down the field,

506
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 5: super creative with your play calls and your disguising and

507
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 5: just doing things. Losing Ben Johnson is huge, and I

508
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 5: felt they would take a step back, and they have.

509
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: And so for the Lions, they're gonna have to figure

510
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 5: out what's next. Will Dan Campbell continue to call plays

511
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: or will he brings somebody else in? Because it's obvious offensively,

512
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 5: they are nowhere near to saying that they were the

513
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 5: last you years with Ben Johnson.

514
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna bring somebody in.

515
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that's Dan Campbell's he he's doing obviously

516
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: Bestie Campbell.

517
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: I don't think that's his forefront.

518
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, speaking of Dan Campbell, if

519
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: you're a player, how do you handle where Sometimes via

520
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: the viewing public or people watching it seems like an

521
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: obvious you know, take the three or just ah, no punt.

522
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: You know your team is struggling defensively, you take the points.

523
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: How do you communicate that to your coach if like, hey,

524
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: we might need to take some points here there, and

525
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: it's ended up costing them a game or two throughout

526
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: the season, you just feel like.

527
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 5: If our defense is very good, if we know we

528
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 5: go for it, our defense gonna shut them down. I

529
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: don't mind going for it. But when you know that

530
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 5: team that you're playing is a really good team and

531
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 5: points are going to be at a premium, then you

532
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 5: kick the field goal. You can't approach every situation the

533
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 5: same old all how the flow of the game. Who

534
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 5: are we playing offensively? Are we gonna have to keep

535
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 5: up with them? Is our defense playing well this game?

536
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 5: And so those are games where it's come by them

537
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 5: in a button. Now we should have won that game

538
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 5: and they'll be watching the playoffs like.

539
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: We will be, no doubt.

540
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: How about the Caleb Williams just the throws TJ. You

541
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: could appreciate it as a wide receiver you played in

542
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: the league. How hard it is to make those throws,

543
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: that game winning throw, and the reaction in the stadium

544
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: and the team and around the city. I mean, that

545
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: is as big of a throw I've seen in that situation.

546
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: They can never beat the Packers, right, this is a

547
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: chance for them to finally beat the Packers.

548
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 2: They come back, they're.

549
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 4: Down by sixteen to six with two point five to go,

550
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 4: and they win that game in overtime. What'd you make

551
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 4: of the play of Caleb Williams and his development?

552
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 5: Well, Rob, let me just say this. I was one

553
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 5: of the few people in Caleb's corner. I believe in him.

554
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 5: I thought he would be a very very very good

555
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 5: player in the league. And then obviously, you know, as

556
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 5: Ricky here didn't go so well. So everybody starts, you know,

557
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 5: they start the yap.

558
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: Yep, he was. He was.

559
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: His head coach was a coach that's probably gonna be

560
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 5: out the league here soon. So that just tells you

561
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 5: how far from uphill battle he was climbing. I mean,

562
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 5: your head coach's probably gonna get fired from the Donnas cowboy,

563
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 5: and you get a competent head coach, You get a

564
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 5: competit guy that can call plays. And now look what happens. Oh,

565
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 5: he looks like he can play now, and so I'm

566
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 5: happy for him too. Yes, that was a great throw. Well, listen,

567
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 5: let's be honest, Rob, that's a hell of a catch.

568
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 5: That's really really good coverage by Keithie.

569
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's right on top of him. But the balls J.

570
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 5: Moore DJ Moore made a hell of a play. Taylor

571
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 5: threw a great ball, but DJ Moore that that's a

572
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 5: fifty to fifty ball that DJ Moore made a play

573
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 5: on and made it really look seventy thirty. So great

574
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 5: play by both parties. But that's not a that's not

575
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: a play we see a receiver make every Sunday.

576
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 4: Well, here we go with Caleb and people, you know

577
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 4: I hear every week, me and Kelvin argue, oh, they're

578
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 4: his percentage and the throws he left on the field

579
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 4: and all these other things, which are fine. He has

580
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 4: six come from behind victories, uh the most, well, you know,

581
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 4: since I think it's Peyton Manning who had who had

582
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 4: six his second year or something like like.

583
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: To be able to come.

584
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 4: Up with the throws when they matter and make plays

585
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: because the NFL is a is a play. You gotta

586
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 4: make plays right, you tackle them, uh TJ at the

587
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 4: first point of contact, right, is the difference between that

588
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 4: and the guy going for a touchdown or or a

589
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: first down or whatever it is. And Caleb to me,

590
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 4: I don't think you could teach some guys are cool

591
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 4: in those situations and other guys aren't.

592
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: And he's done it six times this year. It's pretty incredible.

593
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 5: A lot listen, you know, You'll get people to say

594
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 5: it's completion percentage isn't what it needs to be, but

595
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 5: he's went games. But conversly, right, if he was completing

596
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 5: sixty nine seventy percent of his passes and they were

597
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 5: losing games, what would they say?

598
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: They say, win?

599
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: He don't win, right, and so they always gonna find

600
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: a way for they're arguing to me, right, Oh, they're

601
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 5: winning games, but it's completion. He's winning games. He's about

602
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 5: to take the Chicago Bears for the playoffs in the

603
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 5: division that going into the year many thought they wouldn't

604
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 5: be in a situation. And so this is a tough division.

605
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 5: The Vikings took a step back, but that division is.

606
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 2: A tough division.

607
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: It's a tough division.

608
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: I think it's going to.

609
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: Be tough for Handfully, Caleb looks like he's going to

610
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: be obviously around. You got Jordan Love, you got the

611
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: Lions can have another year or two if the Vikings

612
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: get it right.

613
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 5: That's because today Jay McCarthy is the quarterback that Kevin

614
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 5: O'Connell expects him to be. This is about to be

615
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 5: a division of like somebody is going to not make

616
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 5: the playoffs and you literally on to the season saying wow, like,

617
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 5: who's not gonna make it? That's how good the division is.

618
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 5: But Caleb is a he been fantastic Ben Johnson. It

619
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 5: just shows you how good of a coach is in

620
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 5: a good evalue at a talent because he's had opportunities,

621
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 5: he didn't take those opportunities. But when the opportunity to

622
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 5: coach the Chicago Bears came up, he took that opportunity

623
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 5: because he knew he had a quarterback.

624
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: Hey who, so let me go to a guy who

625
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: kind of came in with the same kind of praise

626
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: and it took him a while to get it going.

627
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: And that is you already know I'm going track.

628
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: Tron Shine is all of a sudden got this Jag

629
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: team where it's like, oh, shoot, have we been ignoring them?

630
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: Which is probably how they would have preferred it. How

631
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: real are they this particular season as we get inch

632
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: closer into the playoffs And.

633
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 5: When you look at that Jagg's roster, they got dudes. Man,

634
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 5: They two good pass rushers, they're good at the linebacker spot,

635
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 5: they're good in the secondary. Offensively, Travis Hunter isn't even playing.

636
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 5: What has happened is they made that trade for Jakobe Myers,

637
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 5: and it gave Trevor Lawrence another weapon. Liam Cohen, So

638
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 5: the Carolina Panthers lose Dave Canalis, I mean he the

639
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay Bucks love Dave Canal. Carolina Panthers comes in,

640
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 5: he takes over the play calling. Baker has a great

641
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 5: year just just play callers and having this his cohesion

642
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 5: is cohesive, miss which your quarterback, and just having somewhat

643
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 5: of a partnership. Now we're getting towards the end of

644
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 5: the year, he understands Trevor a little more. Trevor understands

645
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 5: him a little more. I'm guaranteeing they're communicating so often.

646
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 5: Liam Cohen, I don't even know who gets Coach of

647
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 5: the Year him are vable because both of them went

648
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 5: to terrible situations. Both of them are playing with highly

649
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 5: drafted quarterbacks and they both have done a great job.

650
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 5: But the way Trevor Lawrence, you know, the generational quarter back,

651
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 5: and I was telling everybody this he was gonna be this.

652
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 5: He was gonna be that because he trained with us,

653
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 5: and you know, Plexico Bereford remind me every every show,

654
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 5: told you your boy, Trevor Lawrence wasn't gonna be anything.

655
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 5: Well what about now that sounds.

656
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: Funny because I've heard that too. I told Kelvin about

657
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: this is what boy, I tell you, DJ let me

723
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: Some traditional rivalries and college football one you kind of

724
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: just get used to seeing and you know, expecting it's

725
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna be changing.

726
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 2: A lot of folks are mad about it, that's right.

727
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 6: It's been building now for several months, actually about a

728
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 6: year now that the Notre Dame US football rivalry was

729
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 6: gonna come to a close.

730
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: It all started linking.

731
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 6: Riley's talking about it, you know, the ad at Notre

732
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 6: Dame was talking about it, and the speculation was this

733
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 6: thing is a dead man walking about to walk the plank. Well,

734
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 6: today we got another nail in the coffin because Notre

735
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 6: Dame has inked a home and home series with BYU.

736
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: Whatever do with USC, Well.

737
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 6: With BYU taking that slot, Notre Dame has decided they

738
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 6: will not be playing USC during the years they played BYU,

739
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 6: So for at least the next two seasons, the historic

740
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 6: fighting Irish Trojan rivalry is no more.

741
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 4: No shock to me. They don't care about the fans.

742
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: They don't care about tradition, they don't they don't care

743
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 4: about any of that stuff.

744
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: It's just about money making and whatever who the highest bidder.

745
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: It's a shame I didn't grow up in college football

746
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: like that. You grew up in a college football town,

747
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: literally ann Arbor, and for a lot of people, the

748
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: destruction of the Big ten, and how in the world

749
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: could UCLA and USC being the Big ten. It's just

750
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: none of it feels good. They want to have a

751
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: thirty two team pro college league on Saturdays.

752
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 2: That's what it's going to be.

753
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 4: They don't care about rivalries games, you know, tradition, any

754
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 4: it's all out the window. And this right here is

755
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 4: the big one where they slap you know, college football

756
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 4: fans across the face and say take this, this is

757
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 4: what we're doing to you. And Keith Shawn Johnson I

758
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 4: saw him make a post and all these you know,

759
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 4: former athletes from the two schools and all that, and

760
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 4: they don't care. You think they care, Kelvin, They don't care. Well,

761
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 4: the players care, you mean right, I'm talking about the school.

762
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

763
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say because because Keithshean was upset

764
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: about that. I saw that too, and he was And

765
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: to your point, I mean, everybody understands it's some money

766
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: making business and it really all the last you know,

767
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: thirty years or so has been.

768
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: And you hear what Keishan basically said that USC scared

769
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 2: now to play.

770
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: Notice, yeah, they're scared because you talk about go back

771
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: to what Lincoln Riley he said, Uh, basically a couple

772
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: of things. He said, it ain't worth the just wasn't

773
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: worth the squeeze talking about playing potential playoff teams like

774
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to play him if if we might lose,

775
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: and an he talked about the fact that he would

776
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: support sacrifice in the rivalry of Notre Dame if it

777
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: helped him win a national title. I mean, dude, I'm

778
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: from ann Arbor, as you mentioned, Yeah, every season, who

779
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: doesn't want to win a national title? But dagget me

780
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: and Ohio State was right up there with that aout

781
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: saying kicking in that And so my point, that's what

782
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: makes it fun. If you're Alabama, you want to beat Auburn, right,

783
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: if you're Florida and Florida State and so on and

784
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: so forth, Florida State, Miami, whatever it may be.

785
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: Like, that's what also makes it fun.

786
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: Being a fan, is you're seeing these right, They'll be

787
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: like if for some reason back in the day, like

788
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers couldn't play the Celtics anymore, and they whatever,

789
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: Like you wanted to beat the Celtics.

790
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: If you were Laker, are you Celtics? You want to

791
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: beat the Lakers?

792
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 5: Like?

793
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: This is also what makes sports fun, not just the

794
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: final results of your team, but who you beat along

795
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: the way and to just get rid of that. I'm

796
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: college sports, specifically football. I don't know where we're headed, man.

00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's just NFL two point zero, one point five,

798
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,600

00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: NFL one A.

800
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: I mean that's just where we're heading.

801
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: So you know, rivalries are gone, kids get the transfer,

802
