00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: homes safe distancing here Final Hour, we'll talk to Nick

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: Wright Fox Sports One. First things first, he's got some

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: interesting opinions here, certainly on what's happening with Houston, with

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: James Harden, Russell Westbrook now going to Washington, and John

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Wall come into town. Nick Saban is back for the

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: LSU game. Thirty point favorites against LSU, the largest point

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: spread for a defending national champ and they're twenty nine

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs here. Josh Gordon has been

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: reinstated again for the Seahawks BYU at Coastal Carolina, Ohio State,

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: Michigan State A and M Auburn, Clemson Virginia Tech. It

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: feels like something is going to happen this weekend. We've

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: been waiting for something to happen, maybe a surprise, maybe not,

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Maybe we go as scripted here for this weekend, but

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it feels like there's something that will happen. I do

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: know that maybe the people who have the most pressure

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: on them this weekend are two truck drivers who have

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: to go forty hours cross country twenty two hundred mile journey.

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: They are leaving Provo, Utah. They've already left. They have

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: to get to Coastal Carolina Conway, South Carolina by three

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: o'clock today. The BYU team lands this afternoon in South Carolina.

25
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: And if they don't have the equipment, the supplies to

26
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: get ready for a big game, a big showdown with

27
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina, two ranked teams, two undefeated teams. I don't

28
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: know if there's a backup plan here, but that's a

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: whole lot of pressure, and as by US equipment manager

30
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Billy Nixon said, there is no room for error. They're

31
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: getting regular updates from the two drivers, the tightest window

32
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: that I've ever been part of. He said. They're professional drivers,

33
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: but this is pushing them. The Cougars are nine and

34
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: oh then they face the Chunta Clears who were nine

35
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: to oh as well, and they need to They just

36
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: came up with this arrangement on Wednesday afternoon, and all

37
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you got two truck drivers taken all

38
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: the equipment and they have to get there by three

39
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: o'clock this afternoon. Yeah, Polly, imagine you're the BYU truck drivers.

40
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: You get pulled over for going ninety five and the

41
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: cup goes, what's the hurry? Well, we're undefeated, We're BYU football.

42
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: We're going to cross country to play Coastal Carolina on

43
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: national TV and College Game Day is going to be

44
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: the officers like, there's no chance for telling me the

45
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: truth right now, because that can't be happening. What if

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: you had a police officer as they get into South

47
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Carolina and then they pull them over, Oh gamesmanship. Hopefully

48
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: that won't happen to BYU, but I'm really looking forward

49
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: to that matchup here. BYU doesn't get much love. They're

50
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: down to number thirteen in the country. Coastal Carolina's number eighteen.

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: But I do give both of the programs a lot

52
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: of credit that they're trying and however we can get

53
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: a quality victory. They're trying, and I have great respect

54
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: for that. Yes, McLevin, How do you think these teams

55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: would stack up against like a Texas A and M

56
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: or A Florida or Georgia? Would they be two touchdown

57
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: underdogs like a Coastal Carolina. Oh, I don't know, Paulie.

58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Why don't you check with Vegas and see if they

59
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: could come up with a hypothetical here. Sure, let's say

60
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: BYU was going against A and M. Because I thought

61
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: by you and A and M were going to play,

62
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: and I thought that two months ago. You know, maybe

63
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: they couldn't pull that off, but they did somehow pull

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: together a game against Coastal Carolina. The NFL is reaching

65
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the home stretch of the regular season. The Steelers, Chiefs,

66
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: and Saints can all clinch play on spots this weekend,

67
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: and they're going to have plenty to play for the

68
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: final quarter of the season because in that current playoff format,

69
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: the number one seed is the only team that gets

70
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: a buy home field advantage might not mean as much

71
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: with no fans, but I get the feeling nobody wants

72
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: to travel more than they have to come January. And

73
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: the big concern right now is the other portion of

74
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: the league, the teams that are out of it, led

75
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: by the winless Jets. There's a group of teams who

76
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: are probably more concerned with draft position than playing well.

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: There's the extra risk of those teams getting a little

78
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: looser with COVID protocols, and we've seen that already. I'm

79
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: not sure we can expect to see great football the

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, but that's okay. The priority is

81
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: keeping everybody's safe, and then the priority is shaping up

82
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: that playoff picture and then hopefully a real postseason and

83
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: that we get that Super Bowl in. And I started

84
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: to look at the possibilities here, and we can run

85
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: down some of the NFL matchup this weekend. I wouldn't

86
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: be surprised if Atlanta beat the Saints, just wouldn't. And

87
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: I thought that they're going to win one of the

88
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: two meetings they have with New Orleans. It usually happens

89
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: in that rivalry. But if you look at it right now,

90
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins would probably play the Chiefs if the Steelers

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: continue to be the number one seeds. So the Dolphins

92
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: will be in Kansas City. That'll start the postseason wild

93
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: card weekend. The Titans will be at the Colts, Browns

94
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: will be at the Bills. Then the Steelers would have

95
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: the bye week. The Cardinals in the NFC would have Seattle,

96
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Buccaneers would be at Green Bay, Rams would be at

97
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: the Giants, and then the Saints would have the number

98
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: one overall seed. That's as of today, but a lot

99
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: of football left to be played, and if you were

100
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: going to look for a surprise this weekend, So the

101
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: Saints are I think two and a half point favorites

102
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Arizona is a three point underdog against the Rams.

103
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is giving seven and a half to Washington, and

104
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: Indianapolis three and a half points at Houston. I wouldn't

105
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: be surprised if Houston won that game the way Deshaun

106
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Watson has been playing, and I wouldn't be surprised if

107
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta won. But I don't know if there's any other

108
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: matchups here, McLevin that are seismic. If we saw a

109
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: surprise here, because you got to give the Denver against

110
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Denver's like a two touchdown underdog there. What

111
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: else do you have? Jeff Philly get eight and a

112
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: half at Green Bay, any chance for a weird game there.

113
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: I keep waiting for the Eagles to do something that

114
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to do, and that is play well.

115
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would be this weekend, but

116
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: at some point they might do something correctly. What else?

117
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: Let's see, we got Miami is a huge favorite against Cincinnati,

118
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: and Miami Sitanati done like they're not going to be

119
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: competitive with these backups, right. I think they would be

120
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: hard pressed to go into Miami and make that competitive

121
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: pick up a win. And here's what I like. The

122
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: Seattle is a ten point favored against the Giants. That

123
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: feels like a ton of points. Yeah, but I don't

124
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: think anybody thinks the Giants are that good. I just

125
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: said they're playing well and they could win that division.

126
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: But as I mentioned earlier, stats inc they crunched all

127
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: the numbers. Philadelphia could win that division going four eleven

128
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: and one. That doesn't mean you're good because you won

129
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: your division, but you're going to get to host a

130
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: playoff game. Whoever wins the East is hosting a playoff game.

131
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: What else do you have in club? Okay, we got

132
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: the Bears a Detroit. Is there any playoff life for

133
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: the Bears? Are we done with that? You kind of

134
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: ordered us early not to get excited about five and one. Yeah,

135
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: when everybody's looking at these records, and then I would

136
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: hear Bears fans, what about us? We're five and one

137
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: and I go they enjoy it. But is Mitchell Trubisky

138
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: starting again? I'm guessing he is? Like did he did

139
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: he earn another week? I'm guessing is this the last

140
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: week for Carson Wentz? If Carson Wentz doesn't play well

141
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: in greenback, could we see a change there with Jalen Hurts.

142
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm wondering about that as well. Taysom Hill in this

143
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: game against Atlanta he's starting. Does Taysom Hill finish this game?

144
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: You know? Will they need Jamis Winston if they get behind?

145
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: Would they put Jamis Winston in? Those are some of

146
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: the things that I'm curious about. Let me see. Laura

147
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: in Boston has been holding for a while. Hey Laura,

148
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Thanks for holding? Hey, Dan, how

149
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: are you good? I had two questions. One, as you

150
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: mentioned the other day, how you don't really not an

151
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State fan anymore? And you kind of had a disconnection.

152
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: And I think of like Scott Dan Polton, how he

153
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: wears Maryland basketball on his sleeves. And since I'm a

154
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: Bears fan and I'm looking forward than being in football

155
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: purgatorye forever, how I disconnect myself from being a Bears fan? Paulie,

156
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: do you want to help Laura in Boston to disconnect

157
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: from being a Bears fan? H Yeah, you know, it's

158
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: not just the job, it's a frustration. I think I

159
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: said it the other day. Watching Bears games is not fun.

160
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: It's not an enjoyable experience, and when they're on national TV,

161
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,479
Speaker 1: it's both not fun and it's like a public embarrassment

162
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: for your team. You got to go back to watching

163
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: eighty five Bears videos or something, because it's been so long,

164
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: even that O six team the Bears had with Rex Grossman. Yeah,

165
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: but what would it take for you to give up

166
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: your fandom? Give up? No, because I think that's bogus

167
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: to give up because you can't choose another team. You

168
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: got to take a lifetime of misery and a couple

169
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: of highlights. That's what most sports fans get. They get

170
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: a lifetime of frustration and maybe a couple of windows.

171
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Like mclovin's a Philadelphia Eagles fan, You've had one great

172
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: day in how many years? That's it? And I do

173
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: miss that. I said that before that that high you

174
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: get when you're team does well. But even the pain

175
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: that you have, you know, I have to I have

176
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: to remove that from my life, just because I have

177
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: to be fair to every fan base the best that

178
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: I can. And even if it's like Michigan used to

179
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: crush my Thanksgiving because Michigan would always beat Ohio State

180
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: ruin my weekend because that was the final game of

181
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: the regular season and I'd be like, you know, I

182
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: don't know who these quarterbacks are, but they're killing me.

183
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: And Ohio State I always thought was better, but it

184
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: ruined my weekend, Like I miss that pain, that misery.

185
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: And then if your team does something, well, it's just

186
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: because you care so much, you're so invested, and I

187
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: had to get rid of it. I had to remove

188
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: that from the equation and it was really hard to do.

189
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: But now I don't even think about it. I just

190
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: look at whatever the storyline is. If you say, Michigan

191
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: plays Ohio State and beats Ohio State, that's an unbelievable storyline.

192
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: And I you know, it makes my job easy here

193
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: on looking for his stories, to be able to add

194
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: to or to tell you about or explain, have somebody

195
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: on to talk about it. I mean, that's really when

196
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: you can make great radio a great TV when you

197
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: have content like that that the story rights itself. Let

198
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: me see George in Ohio. Hey, George, what's on your

199
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: mind today? Hey, good morning, Good morning George. So your

200
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: wife has a good throwing arm with some accuracy. Yes,

201
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: but you know she threw the eggs at my son

202
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: from about six or seven feet away. It's still not bad. Yeah,

203
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the forehead. All three bang,

204
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: bang bang. He's gotten yolke dripping all over his face.

205
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: And uh it was. It was pretty a pretty interesting

206
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: moment there in the kitchen. That should have been on

207
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: video that went on. No, no, no, no, probably wouldn't

208
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: have been a good video. But what else you got, George?

209
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: My other question is, let's begin of a lifetime misery.

210
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: I'll be watching the Browns and Titans if the Browns win?

211
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: Is that an upset? You think that's one of your

212
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: opinion on it? And have a good weekend? All right?

213
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: Thank you, George, you too. Yeah. I think people would

214
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: look at that as an upset. What's the point spread

215
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: on that, Nick Levin five and a half in Tennessee,

216
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: it's in Tennessee. Yeah, yeah, that'd be an upset. Yeah, absolutely,

217
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm you know they have the same record, But I

218
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: don't look at them the same. It feels like Tennessee

219
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: has the capability to prove themselves to be a really

220
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: good team. I'm still waiting for Cleveland. I do not

221
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: know how good they are. Thought they'd make the playoffs

222
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: this year, have no idea how good they are. And

223
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they're reliable as well. Yeah, MC club,

224
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: Why aren't we gonna start talking about the Browns all

225
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: the time again? If they lose this game, is it

226
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: back on? Well, I don't fall into that trap that

227
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: other shows, and I'm not here to program another show.

228
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: But I noticed that then there must be some research

229
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: that these networks and shows do where they say, you

230
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: got to talk about this and this and this and this,

231
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: depending on whatever sport it is, these are the things

232
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: that you must check off every single day, or at

233
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: least a couple of times a week. You know, the

234
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: Browns are sort of a lightning rod. Yeah, but Odell

235
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: Beckham is not there. It comes down to Baker Mayfield.

236
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: If Baker Mayfield wasn't there, then the Cleveland Browns would

237
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: not be a topic of conversation nationally. But there are

238
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: certain teams. Cowboys are always going to be a topic

239
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: of conversation Steelers, Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers, Lebron James. You know,

240
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: these are the storylines that we continue to churn through

241
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: or at least look for something to attach to it

242
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: and go, hey, we got a new take on this.

243
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis should be the favorite for MVP over Lebron James.

244
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, sure, if you want to talk about that,

245
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But you know, I don't go, how

246
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: do I get how do I get Baker Mayfield into

247
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: the show today and just doesn't come up? If it

248
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: does come up and we talk about this game or

249
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: on Monday when we talk about this game, then then

250
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: it's legitimate and then you know I'm not playing or

251
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: toying with you. I'm actually bringing up something that is relevant,

252
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: relevant if the Cleveland Browns have a big win. But

253
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for that. If Tennessee blows him out or

254
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: wins by nine, it's not really a topic unless Baker

255
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: Mayfield struggles. And the only reason why I keep an

256
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: eye on this topic is how much longer, like, do

257
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: the Browns know exactly what they have with Baker Mayfield?

258
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: Because now is the time when you're you need to

259
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: make a decision and if you're Cleveland, are you going

260
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: to have him for five years? You're going to have

261
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: him after that? Have you seen enough where you go?

262
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: This is who I want. You know the fact that

263
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: Miami reportedly is really kind of auditioning to Ah they

264
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: want to see what they have, which I don't believe,

265
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: but you know that report came out or it was

266
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: a rumor that they were kind of auditioning here him

267
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: for a ten game tryout. But you got you gotta

268
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: understand who you have. Like if I said to the

269
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: Lions two years ago, hey, you know what you have

270
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: in Matthew Stafford, do you want to keep him? Knowing

271
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: what they know now, no, they wouldn't have. And I

272
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: go back to what I said to you last year

273
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: prior to the draft, that the Lions were really interested

274
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: in two. But I was told this staff knew that

275
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: if they were going their job was attached to this season.

276
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: If they played well, they were keeping their jobs. If not,

277
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: they were getting fired. They didn't play well, they got fired.

278
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: Therefore they couldn't take two. A tongue of ioloa. You

279
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: know the Bears Matt Naggey with Mitchell Trubisky, is his

280
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: job attached to Mitchell Trubisky. Yeah. Is Doug Peterson attached

281
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: to Carson Wentz? Probably? That's you know, the next coach

282
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: who comes in for the Jets will be attached to

283
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. The next coach in Jacksonville was going to

284
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: be attached to Justin Fields. That's how it works unless

285
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: you decide that you're going to get rid of your quarterback,

286
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: like New England with Cam Newton, Is Cam gonna be

287
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: there next year? And before you say, well, probably not. Okay,

288
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: who are you bringing in? And really that's what it

289
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: comes down to, Hey, we got to get rid of

290
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: our quarterback. Well, I'm sure Chicago goes yeah, we got

291
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: to get a new quarterback. Okay, who are you getting?

292
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: And until you know that, then you might say, all right,

293
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: let's stick with Nick Foles and let Mitchell Trubisky go. Okay,

294
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: Like San Francisco, you gotta replace Jimmy Garoppolo. Okay, who

295
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: are you getting to replace him with? If not, then

296
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: you might stay with Jimmy Garoppolo. Like I still wouldn't

297
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: be surprised if Garoppolo ended back with the Patriots. I

298
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't if Kyle Shanahan said to Bill Belichick and had

299
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: a relationship, which they do. You gave you. You sent

300
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: him out here for a reason, You wanted me to

301
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: have him, got him out of the AFC, got him

302
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, got him with an offensive minded

303
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: quarter coach. Does Kyle Shanahan say it just didn't work out, Bill,

304
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: He's probably better suited for you, and then you ship

305
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: him back, get a second round pick in return, and

306
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: then they go out into the marketplace and go for

307
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold or somebody like that. But you know that's

308
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: what happens in the NFL, where you're just trying to

309
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: figure out who is our quarterback? And at what point

310
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: do you say, I know who Baker Mayfield is and

311
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: do you want to give him that long term contract

312
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm the Browns, no way, not now,

313
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: anytime soon, that's for sure. Like the Cowboys, we thought

314
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: that they knew who they had with Dak Prescott. I

315
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: kept saying to Jerry Jones, at least I would say publicly,

316
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: sign him. And this was eighteen months ago, now, nineteen

317
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: months ago. Sign him now. If you know who he is,

318
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: what he is, sign him now, and you got a bargain.

319
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: And if they did that. Granted he got injured, but

320
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: I still believe in dak Prescott is a franchise quarterback.

321
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: But now what's he gonna cost? Now? Maybe he lost

322
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: his bargaining power. Maybe he's gonna be franchised one more

323
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: time and then he's going to roll the dice and

324
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: if he puts up big numbers and he's gonna be

325
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: a forty plus million dollar contract there maybe, but Jerry,

326
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: unless Jerry gets squirrely and goes, you know what, let's

327
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: get a quarterback. Let's go in the draft and get

328
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Okay, are you trying to tell me that

329
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: the Trey Lance out of North Dakota State, Kyle Trascott

330
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: of Florida, Zach Wilson out of BYU they're ready to

331
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: play now because Jerry's ready to win now. Yeah, Paulie.

332
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: But if you're a Bears fan and you hear those names,

333
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: it's like anybody but what we have. I think that's

334
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: what the draft is all about. You have a quarterback

335
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: that's average or disappointing, You're like, just give me someone new.

336
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't really care if they could play or not,

337
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: as long as it's the new storyline. Yeah, it's the

338
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: same storyline. It just would changed the name. Yes, for

339
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: a couple of years. It's fun. Oh are they they?

340
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: Are they the most cursed franchise with quarterbacks? Bears? Bears

341
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: are so far ahead of anybody being cursed at quarterbacks

342
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: that they should be emeritus or whatever that thing is.

343
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: And then you guys could discuss those other teams. Are

344
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: the Jets in there? Like the Jets are still trying

345
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: to find Joe Namath, like Richard Todd or Chad Pennington?

346
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: And we went yeah, like Richard Todd and Chad Pennington. Yeah, mclovin,

347
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: I think you're in trouble when you have the comeback

348
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: player of the year at quarterback three times in his career,

349
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: that shows that something that's gone wrong. Chad Pennington, Yeah,

350
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: I think he wanted multiple times. Did he really did

351
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: he want it three times? I know I'm exaggerating. I

352
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: think he wanted twice. But Ken O'Brien, man, I remember

353
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: that draft. Oh I was there there for that draft,

354
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: and we went, Ken O'Brian, where's he from? I hadn't

355
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: even heard of like U see Davis sounded like a

356
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: guy and the Jets take you see Davis from Ken

357
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: O'Brien University. Oh no, it's Ken O'Brien from U. See Dave.

409
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 1: outside with Todd Fritz, my new best friend. How awesome

410
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: was I at the whole fly fishing. You're a great Todd.

411
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: I almost caught something. So we were practicing some fly

412
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: fishing there. We could never do a buddy trip. We could. No,

413
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: you gotta be buddies to go on a buddy that's true.

414
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: But if you could wink at that part. But this

415
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: thing that I'm sure it must have a common interest

416
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: that besides sport, you don't smoke cigars, you don't drink

417
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: like a pretty boring guy now they come to think

418
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: of it. Nick Wright, he's a popular co host of

421
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: How are you guys? I'm adding to my bucket list

422
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: go on a buddy trip with Dan Patrick. I didn't

423
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: even know that was available, but I'm adding it. Okay,

424
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: but would you go fly fishing? I've never been fly fishing.

425
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: Fishing is something that in my head I love, and

426
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: then I'm like, I've done it once in twenty years

427
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: as an adult, So how much do I actually love it?

428
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: But I think I like it. I don't totally understand

429
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: what fly fishing is, like you're wading in water. I

430
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: don't get it. It's probably not the best discussion point here.

431
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: I've just seen it on movies. Yeah, like a River

432
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: runs through it with Brad Pitt. Yeah, where they make

433
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: it exactly what I was thinking of. Yeah, they make

434
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: it seem romantic and it's really hard to do. But

435
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: you do feel like you're actually fishing, like there's skill

436
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: to it instead of just I'm gonna throw a line

437
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: out the water and then just wait for, you know,

438
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: the fish to take it. I feel like maybe I'm wrong.

439
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe in your younger days, you were

440
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 1: a big pay to go on a big excursion. You

441
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: cast and then you go drink and then somebody reels

442
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: it in and you take the picture. No, no, no,

443
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: that was the dam No no, no, one never did that.

444
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: No no, I didn't want to do any deep sea fishing.

445
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: I would just go in lakes and creeks and go fishing.

446
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: But no, no, there was never. Hey, can you put

447
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: it the worm on the hook, throw it out there,

448
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: catch it and then I'll re Lydian and I get

449
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: the photo. Op. No, I didn't do a victory lap

450
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: like that. I'm still working. I think that's the way

451
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: to go. I hope to do that one day. I

452
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: think it's a sign of success. I haven't gotten there yet.

453
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: All right, what's the one topic this week where you're

454
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: still going I don't have answers to this, and I

455
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: want them. Oh, what an interesting question. But it's similar

456
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: to the last time we talked. Did Sean Payton bet

457
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: someone years ago I can win games with a tight

458
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: end playing quarterback and he is still trying to win

459
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: that bet. That's the question I have, And listen, I

460
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: understand the Taysom Hill fans took a victory lap after

461
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: his performance against the Falcons, which was decent, and that

462
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: victory lap, I hope they enjoyed it because against the Broncos,

463
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: you saw more of what I thought you were going

464
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: to see. And I think the Falcons are gonna beat

465
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 1: him this week. I don't know if you looked at

466
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: the point spread there, it's New Orleans by only two

467
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: and a half, which means Vegas is daring you to

468
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: bet the Saints, like, how can you not less than

469
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: a field goal? Number one defensive football the last five weeks?

470
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: And the reason you can't is because they got an

471
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: hvac playing quarterback for him, And so I think they

472
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: lose this week, and if Drew Brees isn't back by

473
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: the time they play the Chiefs in two weeks, they

474
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: have to go to Jamis because the only chance you're

475
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: gonna have in that game is if you can move

476
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: the ball up and down the field and scores some

477
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: for Yeah, I'm with you on Atlanta. I thought that

478
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: they would win one of these two matchups with them.

479
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: It just feels like that's always been the rivalry. It's

480
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: usal the team that's not supposed to win. You know,

481
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: actually wins on the road, but you know here it

482
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: is with Atlanta only you know, two and a half points.

483
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: And I see, I wonder, does Sean Payton want to

484
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: see Taysom Hill in a situation where he's down double

485
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: digit points? Not that you want to get there, but

486
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: it would tell him an awful lot about Taysom Hill

487
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: if he's down two touchdowns or ten, Hey, how does

488
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: he It's like Lamar Jackson, we want to see what

489
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: happens when he gets into a situation like that. It's

490
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a great point. And I think while

491
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: the Saints they're pursuing the one seed, they obviously think

492
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: and should believe they can win the super Bowl this year,

493
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: so they'll take wins however they come. But I think

494
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: part of going to taste him over Jamis was to

495
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: try to gather information for next season, for years moving forward,

496
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: and so in that regard, what happened with them against

497
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: the Broncos was almost useless. Like you can't take anything

498
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: away from that game other than even those of us

499
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: that thought it was really hard playing quarterback in the NFL.

500
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: It's evidently harder than we thought because the poor guy

501
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: hinting that was playing. I mean, he was an unbelievable

502
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: high school player, a good college player, and he went

503
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: out there and looked honestly, not to be rude, but

504
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: it was like a guy picked out of the stands.

505
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: And so it just told us how much harder playing

506
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league is, even if we knew it.

507
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: But you can't take anything away from that game if

508
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: you're the Saints at all. So now maybe you can

509
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: learn something in this falconst Why is it that we

510
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: look for a story? It may not be there, but

511
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: like to me, Patrick Mahomes has been the MVP at

512
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: least for the last month, Like I like, no, no question,

513
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: but you know Tom Brady was there, we kicked him

514
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: to the curb. Russell Wilson. Now, the defense playing a

515
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: little better, the offense not playing as well, Aaron Rodd.

516
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: It feels like it's a two man race. You know.

517
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: We want to, you know, bring in Roethlisberger, but I

518
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: don't know. Is he most valuable player? Maybe not? But

519
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: why is it where we keep going where you know

520
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: we have tentacles, It's like an octopus. We got to

521
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: bring in somebody here to make this interesting. Well, it's

522
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: an odd thing to say because this is only his

523
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: third year as a starter, but it feels similar to me, like,

524
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: and you'll remember this fondly, the Karl Malone MVP in

525
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven and Barkley where and Barkley I think

526
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: actually had a stronger case. Like in ninety seven. I

527
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: think the Bulls won sixty eight games. They were but

528
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't the seventy two wins, and Malone had never

529
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: won one. And so I think Mahomes has so clearly

530
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: distinguished himself as the very best player in the league

531
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: that it becomes a little boring to talk about. And

532
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: in fairness, the first five weeks, Russell Wilson was better.

533
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: First five weeks, Russell Wilson deserved to be there, and

534
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: people got really caught up in he's never gotten an

535
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: MVP vote, which I think misunderstood how the NFL MVP

536
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: voting works. It's not a ballot, it's one name, So

537
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: if you're voting for a guy, it means you think

538
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: he should win it. It's hard to find a year

539
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: where Russell should have won it, but at this point

540
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: it would take in my opinion of Mahomes meltdown down

541
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: the stretch, because as great as Rogers has been, there

542
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: is one game this season that you can say they

543
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: lost because of his poor performance. That's never happened to

544
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes in his entire career, and I don't expect to

545
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: happen this year. We had Dan Orlovsky from The mother

546
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: Ship on earlier in the week and he said Travis

547
00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: Kelsey is the most valuable non quarterback in the league.

548
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. I think Aaron Donald should

549
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: win that award. I think Aaron Donald, I think the Rams.

550
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: If the Rams had Ryan Tannehill at quarterback, I think

551
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: they'd be a Super Bowl favorite. I think they are

552
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: crippled by their quarterback play. But Donald is such an

553
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: unbelievable player. I don't know if Kelsey is more valuable

554
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: than Tyree kill now. Kelsey has the opportunity. I think

555
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: he's seventy yards short of leading the NFL in receiving.

556
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: No tight end has ever led the NFL in receiving,

557
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: so he has an opportunity to do that. His production

558
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: over the last five years is just it's unprecedented. But

559
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: I do think you saw, in for example, the Bucks game,

560
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: they he started killing them once they started doubling Tyree, Like, okay,

561
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: we've got to worry about Tyreek, then everything's open for Kelsey.

562
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: I just think the Chiefs are in such a beneficial

563
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: spot because he is clearly the best tight end in football,

564
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: and well, Tyreek Hill isn't the best receiver in football.

565
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: I would argue Dan, he's the best receiver to pair

566
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: with Mahomes. Like, even if DeAndre Hopkins is a better

567
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: receiver than Tyreek, Tyreek fits with mahomes skill sets so

568
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: well that you have those two guys and you can't

569
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: double them both, and it allows them both to be

570
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: the best versions of themselves. He's nick right co host.

571
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: First things first on Fox Sports one. Let me shift

572
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: it to basketball. And I know that we there's always

573
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: people in the media are going to spin it and

574
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: look at the negative side of Lebron James and I

575
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: heard this. I think Skip Bayless even brought it up. Hey,

576
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: you know what, he should have taken less money. You

577
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: want to win championships, you want to be like But okay,

578
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: so should Lebron have taken I said Lebron did take less.

579
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 1: I mean he's making less money than like six other guys.

580
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: John Wall makes more than Lebron James, so should he

581
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: have taken less? Here's the problem, Dan, Let's say he

582
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: did that, and I'm not naming names. You you named Skip,

583
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: I didn't see Skips say that. I'll take your word

584
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: for it. Skips a colleague, and I obviously have immense

585
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 1: respect for him. But what I will say is this.

586
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: If Lebron James had said, guys, I'm gonna sign for

587
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: the minimum, guess what, the exact same people criticizing him

588
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: for taking the max would say he's trying to stack

589
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: the deck by taking the minimum. This is and you

590
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: know that to be true. If Lebron said I'll take

591
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: the minimum and the Lakers went out and signed Jannis,

592
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: then it would be okay. Lebron is running from competition,

593
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: just like last year it was. It was you know, oh,

594
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: Lebron wants it too easy. By adding Kauai, now he

595
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: is supposed to make it too easy. Listen, Lebron James

596
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: is the most underpaid athlete in American sports. I don't

597
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: think that's really debatable. I know it's an odd thing

598
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: to say, but it's true. And here's the problem for

599
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: the contingent of people that dislike Lebron, they only have

600
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: the six rings thing left, and in their heart of hearts,

601
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: they know we've only got two maybe three years left

602
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: to hit that one because the Lakers gonna win again.

603
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: And then they're at five. And then if you think

604
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: he's not going to peel at least one more like

605
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: Kareem did late late in his career as a role player,

606
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: you're nuts. So when Lebron finishes with the most points

607
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: of all time, the third most assists of all time,

608
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: thirteen finals appearances, six rings, what's going to happen is

609
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: folks are going to say, wait, this was a debate

610
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: and so like it's nice that Lebron has not taken over,

611
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: Like there was the story that came out he tried

612
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: to sign Luca to Team Lebron, but Nike kept Luco

613
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: with Jordan. I think that was actually a really nice

614
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: thing for Nike to do that way in thirty years,

615
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: people know what Michael. They're like, Oh, he didn't just

616
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: have the shoes, he also played basket. But because it's

617
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: going to be everything else is going to be Lebron's.

618
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: Oh maybe even that statue outside of the United Them, Well,

619
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: maybe you have a Lebron guarding Jordan outside the United Center. Oh,

620
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: I like that. Do you think Lebron gets a statue

621
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: at Staples if they win one more? No? I just

622
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: I you know, it's weird how people and I and

623
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: I said this yesterday or the day before, like we

624
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: don't want people to get into our scrap books, like

625
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: don't ruin our scrap book, like we love Kobe and

626
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: we love Magic and Jerry West, and you know, the

627
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: people are true lakers like Lebron to people, I don't

628
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: think they view him as a true Laker, even if

629
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: he wins another title, and I don't I got a statue, Yeah,

630
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: but I think they viewed him as more orphans. I know,

631
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: I know it's but he's beloved. Lebron is never going

632
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: to be beloved. Shack was beloved, like people love Shack,

633
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: and they respected Kobe, and they loved Magic and they

634
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: respected Kareem. I think they look at Lebron, is you

635
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: know he's in town for a few years? And can

636
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: I ask you one other question even though you're the

637
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: one interviewing me? Yea, there was all right. So there's

638
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: this speculation that Lebron matched up his contract length with

639
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: when his kid when Bronnie graduates high school, right, And

640
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: I think it's totally unfair. But we all discussed anyway,

641
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: because Lebron is alluded to this. I think maybe Brownie

642
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: can make the NBA one day. But talking about him

643
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: as a high school to pro guy, if they change

644
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: the rules, it's super high expectations. But let's say they

645
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: change the rules, and let's say he is the fiftieth

646
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: best prospect on your board. If it is clear, if

647
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: you draft him, Lebron signs with you, does he become

648
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: worth the number one overall pick three years from now?

649
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: It's a package deal. You have the number one pick,

650
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: you would be taking the fiftieth best prospect of fringe

651
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: NBA nineteen year old, but ron comes with it. No, no, no,

652
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: not in three years. Oh oh, in three years because

653
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: LEBRONI at that point only be like the third best

654
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: player in the I don't know if Ronnie can play.

655
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if he's able to play

656
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: an idea, Yeah, I mean he can definitely play. Yeah,

657
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: is he? Is he going to be a guy that

658
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: can make the league, much less make the league right

659
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: out of high school? Now we're talking about totally unfair expectation. Yeah,

660
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: because I got three more seasons of playoff basketball for Lebron.

661
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: Nobody's had this wear and tear, you know, Kareem, you know,

662
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: you had guys who played a long period of time,

663
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: but nobody's had the wear and tear that Lebron has

664
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: had on his body. And in three years, I don't

665
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: know what he's going to be like. Uh, even if

666
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: I get his son, you know, I don't want somebody, hey,

667
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: come out and watch Lebron play, you know, eighteen minutes.

668
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that though. And I don't

669
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: know if Lebron will ever play. Listen, I think he's

670
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: going to be able to play until he's forty. But

671
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 1: would you rather have Lebron with his son or Lebron

672
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: against his son? Oh? I think Lebron against his son

673
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: is better. I also would think it would maybe be

674
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: better for his son. I agree. I think that I

675
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: think playing on the same team as him would be very,

676
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: very It's insane we're talking about this, but I think

677
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: it'd be better against him. I think it'd be And

678
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: by the way, if we're talking about it, you know,

679
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: five years from now and Lebron is playing twenty minutes

680
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: a game and a little creaky. His son could have

681
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: the iverson on Jordan moment, except on Dad, I'd be unbelievable. Yeah,

682
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: but I can hear Skip Baylis yet Michael Jordan never

683
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: used his sons to stay in the game. Yeah, And

684
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: then you can hear Nick read say, hey, you listen,

685
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: Michael's sons weren't good enough to make the league. I kid,

686
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't kid. It's accurate. But I

687
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: love Marcus, so this one't quite good. Have a good weekend.

688
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you created any negative headlines today. I

689
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Thank you, and I am awaiting the invitation

690
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: for the guy trips. Since you've told Fritz ease out.

Speaker 1: teach you to fly fish. All right, sounds good, sounds

716
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,800

717

718

00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: love you guys on Peacock. Hey, Um, we were watching yesterday.

742
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the Walton interview and turned it

743
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: on and here's this gigantic glowing halo behind Walton and

744
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: his arms up in the air, and I hower up,

745
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: my wife, Hi, come in here. Dan's interview in Jesus. Well, well,

746
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: she comes in and says, it's touchdown Jesus. Yeah, he

747
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: had this glow about him. But thank you Tom. Yeah.

748
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: I love the reaction we got with having Bill Walton on.

749
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite people and obviously one of

750
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: my favorite basketball players of all time. Anything else that

751
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: I need to mention on the program, yeah, Pauli. Sports history,

752
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: Dan nineteen seventy seven to Dorset two hundred and six

753
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: yards in a game against your Eagles, Andrew the only

754
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: he was only a third rookie at the time to

755
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: rush for more than two dred yards in a game.

756
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: People also said, you're talking about cursed at quarterback. The

757
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: Browns have had twenty nine different quarterbacks since two thousand.

758
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: That's the most in the NFL and five more than

759
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,120
