WEBVTT - Not So Fast Episode 19 0:00:01.270 --> 0:00:05.210 Welcome to Not So Fast with Andrew Perloff and Paul Pabst, 0:00:05.430 --> 0:00:08.740 where two longtime friends challenge each other on the biggest 0:00:08.780 --> 0:00:10.100 sports stories of the day. 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:14.660 Here's Andrew Perloff and Paul Pabst. Not so fast, my friends. 0:00:18.070 --> 0:00:20.070 Welcome to Not So Fast. I'm Andrew Perloff. 0:00:20.110 --> 0:00:23.630 He's Paul Pabst. You might sense some tension on the 0:00:23.730 --> 0:00:27.030 set today. There is a big matchup tonight, of course, 0:00:27.190 --> 0:00:30.230 Eagles at Bears. I'm a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan. Paul 0:00:30.250 --> 0:00:32.979 is a lifelong Bears fan. So we're usually good friends. 0:00:33.300 --> 0:00:34.060 Not today, my friend. 0:00:34.100 --> 0:00:35.490 Yeah, we're pulling the Band-Aid on this one. 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:37.040 We got a lot of Week 3 to get to, 0:00:37.060 --> 0:00:38.600 a lot of college football to get to. But it's 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.180 a saucy matchup tonight because we're going to break it down. 0:00:41.780 --> 0:00:45.030 Third-string quarterback versus first-string quarterback who the home fans don't 0:00:45.090 --> 0:00:46.870 always back. That's a recipe for a mess. 0:00:47.300 --> 0:00:47.580 Oh, yeah. 0:00:47.620 --> 0:00:50.680 This is going to be a weird, weird game because, obviously, 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.600 Case Keenum is likely to start. Case Keenum is actually 0:00:52.620 --> 0:00:55.840 a very good friend of mine. I have very conflicted feelings. And, 0:00:55.870 --> 0:00:57.840 of course, we have a lot going on in baseball 0:00:57.870 --> 0:00:59.690 with the Phillies and the Cubs and the White Sox. 0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:02.150 There's so much to go to that let's not make 0:01:02.170 --> 0:01:04.790 this personal, though. Let's talk about the actual games, not ourselves. 0:01:04.810 --> 0:01:06.330 Well, keep it friendly, as we always do here. 0:01:06.390 --> 0:01:07.250 All right. 0:01:07.290 --> 0:01:10.429 Let's start out with the Ravens-Cowboys. I've got to be honest, Paul. 0:01:10.750 --> 0:01:12.030 I had no idea who was going to win this 0:01:12.069 --> 0:01:17.060 game until it was actually over. insane ending. Ravens win 34-31. 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.040 Seven seconds left, drive down, kick the game-winning field goal. 0:01:20.060 --> 0:01:20.740 What stood out to you? 0:01:20.900 --> 0:01:23.860 Well, this is a great play. I mean, seven seconds left. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.440 You have a timeout left, and J.J. Watt's calling the game. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.360 He's like, You either have to throw to the sidelines, 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.360 but because you have a timeout left, the middle of 0:01:30.380 --> 0:01:32.740 the field's in play. And it's like the Cowboys' defense 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.000 didn't realize the middle of the field was in play 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.890 and that you don't need that many yards to set 0:01:36.910 --> 0:01:37.560 up this kind of kick. 0:01:37.970 --> 0:01:40.570 I think the Cowboys actually blew this game in their 0:01:40.630 --> 0:01:41.210 last possession. 0:01:41.250 --> 0:01:41.590 Totally. 0:01:41.870 --> 0:01:44.650 They had the ball. They were first and two after 0:01:44.730 --> 0:01:46.970 a really bad defensive pass interference call. 0:01:47.230 --> 0:01:49.450 They're first and goal, and they get a false start. 0:01:49.630 --> 0:01:53.400 This is so Cowboys. They are right at the finish line, 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:54.440 and they find a way to blow it. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:55.040 And to me. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:56.500 By the way, Paul, this has been going on the 0:01:56.540 --> 0:01:58.980 whole Jerry Jones era. It's not just this game. They 0:01:59.100 --> 0:02:00.260 find ways to lose. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.310 There was this picture on Twitter where someone says, the 0:02:02.340 --> 0:02:04.130 Cowboys found a way to lose this game, and it's 0:02:04.230 --> 0:02:07.190 first and goal, 21 seconds to go. You really put 0:02:07.250 --> 0:02:09.590 losing in play, and that's one of those games. I 0:02:09.590 --> 0:02:11.630 can remember the Cowboys last year. They had a game 0:02:11.790 --> 0:02:15.250 maybe a year before where they tied the Packers. And 0:02:15.410 --> 0:02:17.140 right now, that loss doesn't look so bad. Oh, you 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:17.880 lost to the Ravens. 0:02:17.940 --> 0:02:19.460 Not so bad. But if you miss the playoffs by 0:02:19.500 --> 0:02:21.040 half a game, you're going to remember this one. 0:02:21.340 --> 0:02:23.100 Yeah, I mean, the Ravens are a tough opponent. It 0:02:23.139 --> 0:02:26.520 was a wild game in Brazil. It looked really fun. J.J. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.860 Watt was amazing. It was a great game. But, you know, 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.460 it's an inter-conference game, Paul. So I don't know if 0:02:31.540 --> 0:02:33.500 it really makes a difference in the playoff race. This 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:34.520 is a good team to lose to. 0:02:34.820 --> 0:02:35.940 But the fact that they were so close. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.720 I think it's bad for momentum because they did a 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.100 pretty good job on Derrick Henry. 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.740 They held him to three yards a carry. and 25 0:02:41.740 --> 0:02:43.940 of those are on one carry. And so the defense 0:02:43.980 --> 0:02:44.430 stepped up. 0:02:44.660 --> 0:02:47.339 Last year, remember Jerry Jones talked about how we need 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:48.019 to stop the run. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.110 They did. Not stopped, but they controlled Derrick Henry. They 0:02:51.150 --> 0:02:51.990 didn't control Lamar. 0:02:52.330 --> 0:02:54.050 But it felt like they were improving, and this would 0:02:54.070 --> 0:02:55.960 have been one of those wins where it was defense first. 0:02:56.260 --> 0:02:58.079 Well, you're right, because the Giants ran all over them 0:02:58.100 --> 0:03:00.340 in week one. I don't think it's a huge deal. 0:03:00.370 --> 0:03:03.030 You did see Dak Prescott has elevated his game. I'm 0:03:03.050 --> 0:03:05.130 going to say top five quarterback in the NFL right now. 0:03:05.370 --> 0:03:06.330 He makes every throw. 0:03:06.370 --> 0:03:09.169 He looks unbelievable. And with that wide receiver duo, and 0:03:09.210 --> 0:03:11.350 they ran the ball on Sunday, I think they're going 0:03:11.370 --> 0:03:14.470 to be fine. But to me, when they get to 0:03:14.490 --> 0:03:15.930 the playoffs, they're going to find a way to lose 0:03:15.970 --> 0:03:16.250 it again. 0:03:16.530 --> 0:03:18.380 See, I think this is the kind of game where 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.400 you don't make the playoffs, where the rest of the 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.140 NFC chews each other up. The NFC West, I should say, 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.590 the NFC East, And this is one of those games 0:03:25.610 --> 0:03:27.790 that you remember six weeks from now going, that's the 0:03:27.889 --> 0:03:28.389 one we had. 0:03:28.610 --> 0:03:29.880 We were going to steal a win that should have 0:03:29.900 --> 0:03:30.350 been a loss. 0:03:30.580 --> 0:03:32.980 Yeah. What about the turf coming in? Were you expecting 0:03:33.020 --> 0:03:33.980 something major to happen? 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.840 So I'm watching beforehand. Again, they're showing pictures of the turf. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.420 And they had this big machine that was like stitching 0:03:39.500 --> 0:03:41.090 the turf together and putting turf. 0:03:41.150 --> 0:03:43.210 It looked like Brian Urlacher. Remember he went from bald 0:03:43.230 --> 0:03:43.830 to having hair? 0:03:43.850 --> 0:03:43.930 Yeah. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.060 The field went from ball to having grass on it, 0:03:46.100 --> 0:03:47.600 and it wasn't that big of a story. 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.360 Yeah, there were a couple plays. Zay Flowers, the excellent 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.640 Ravens receiver, made a couple cuts. I'm like, ooh, that's 0:03:52.660 --> 0:03:54.779 going to be bad. Lamar made some cuts, but they 0:03:54.820 --> 0:03:56.960 all came out okay. That, to me, there was a 0:03:56.980 --> 0:03:58.560 couple injuries. That, to me, was the game of the 0:03:58.600 --> 0:03:58.850 year so far. 0:03:58.860 --> 0:04:00.640 What was really funny is people were saying, this is 0:04:00.660 --> 0:04:02.200 going to be a disaster, and this is really going 0:04:02.220 --> 0:04:04.700 to pump the brakes on international games. 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:06.280 Not so fast, my friend. 0:04:06.300 --> 0:04:09.080 They're going international more and more, and they'll do whatever 0:04:09.100 --> 0:04:11.500 they can to partially fix that field just for the game. 0:04:11.700 --> 0:04:12.320 Oh, absolutely. 0:04:12.500 --> 0:04:14.180 I think the rating is going to be, at peak, 0:04:14.180 --> 0:04:16.120 $ 40 million or something. It's going to be like an 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.940 NFC title game. Any Cowboys 4 o'clock game rates high, 0:04:21.420 --> 0:04:24.339 people probably tuned in because it was so close. So, yeah, 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.120 if you don't like international play, I think this is 0:04:26.140 --> 0:04:28.419 their excuse to add double the amount. 0:04:28.260 --> 0:04:29.040 They're going over there. 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.640 Where are we going next? Last night's game? 0:04:31.260 --> 0:04:34.120 By the way, then last night's game is almost a repeat. 0:04:34.940 --> 0:04:36.650 The Broncos beat the Rams 30-26. 0:04:37.450 --> 0:04:39.510 Another game, you had no idea who was going to 0:04:39.550 --> 0:04:41.450 win this game until the very, very end. 0:04:41.589 --> 0:04:43.190 Yeah, this is one of those games, if you watch 0:04:43.230 --> 0:04:45.570 the last few plays, it felt like the Rams defensive 0:04:45.589 --> 0:04:48.650 back did not commit P.I. and had a great interception, 0:04:49.130 --> 0:04:51.570 walk off, close it out. You have a little scare 0:04:51.589 --> 0:04:53.250 in the second half from Bo Nix, but that was 0:04:53.310 --> 0:04:54.950 one of those games where you should have pulled this off. 0:04:55.290 --> 0:04:57.130 I mean, if you watch this play, this looks like 0:04:57.210 --> 0:05:01.330 normal battling, a little floater. And that is an awesome interception. 0:05:02.029 --> 0:05:04.789 That's one of those where the receiver is selling it 0:05:04.810 --> 0:05:05.589 and the ref falls for it. 0:05:05.589 --> 0:05:08.810 Yeah, I know everybody's saying this. I mean, he clearly 0:05:08.850 --> 0:05:10.350 grabbed him and held him. I would have called it 0:05:10.370 --> 0:05:10.790 a holding. 0:05:10.940 --> 0:05:12.719 The other ref's in a way better position to make 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.200 the call. 0:05:14.300 --> 0:05:16.220 Are you sure that he did grab his waist and 0:05:16.260 --> 0:05:18.020 turn him a little bit before the ball was in 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:18.340 the air? 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.120 I wouldn't say it was manhandled. I think it was 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:21.080 lightly manhandled. 0:05:21.140 --> 0:05:21.460 I know. 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.180 Terry McCauley went off on that call, the NBC officiating expert. 0:05:25.970 --> 0:05:28.390 Either way, how important is this loss for the Rams? 0:05:28.410 --> 0:05:30.250 You know, they were supposed to be this dream team. 0:05:30.290 --> 0:05:33.270 Now they're 1-2. Has it turned into a nightmare team, Paul? 0:05:33.410 --> 0:05:34.570 No, look at you. 0:05:34.589 --> 0:05:37.210 Scare headlines for a lot of classic. I would say 0:05:37.270 --> 0:05:39.340 this is one of those. Again, when the Rams are 0:05:39.380 --> 0:05:41.380 on the road in the playoffs and not playing at home, 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.500 it's games like this because of that. We're going to 0:05:44.540 --> 0:05:46.820 talk later about the 49ers. And if you look at 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.960 what happened to Seattle, everyone's kind of close enough where 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.700 it's not that big of a deal. You get Miles 0:05:50.740 --> 0:05:53.480 Garrett back. You get Puka back full speed in October. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:54.620 This could be a memory. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:55.560 That's a great point. 0:05:55.660 --> 0:05:57.380 But they do have the Eagles coming up and they 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.960 have the Bills after that. There's a chance that it 0:06:00.020 --> 0:06:01.340 gets late early for the L.A. 0:06:01.380 --> 0:06:01.680 Rams. 0:06:02.060 --> 0:06:04.940 It's no guarantee because last night they looked good. I 0:06:04.980 --> 0:06:07.020 thought they thought they had the game won at halftime 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.360 and that sort of gave up on the game. So 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.479 they can't play like that. They did in the second half, 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:12.300 lost some urgency. 0:06:12.339 --> 0:06:14.290 And if you look at this Rams schedule here, that 0:06:14.450 --> 0:06:16.330 game against the Cardinals and that game against the Raiders, 0:06:16.410 --> 0:06:19.030 we penciled it as easy W's a month ago. 0:06:19.370 --> 0:06:22.030 Yeah, I mean, the Cardinals, I think. And now the 0:06:22.070 --> 0:06:27.219 Chargers game is the W. I mean, Cardinals, Chargers, Commanders, Cardinals. 0:06:28.300 --> 0:06:29.940 When I look at that, but then you got the 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.600 Chiefs later in the season. The Niners look outstanding. The 0:06:33.620 --> 0:06:35.840 Rams can't mess around. They messed around on Sunday night. 0:06:35.860 --> 0:06:37.960 That's what really bothered me. If they had just sort 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.350 of kept the foot on the gas, they easily should 0:06:40.370 --> 0:06:40.869 have beat Denver. 0:06:41.150 --> 0:06:42.850 I don't know how Bo Nix does this, by the way. 0:06:43.390 --> 0:06:45.789 If we had a text chain earlier that night complaining 0:06:45.810 --> 0:06:47.510 about the Broncos not putting up a fight and how 0:06:47.570 --> 0:06:49.750 bad Bo Nix looked, and then he always does this. 0:06:49.910 --> 0:06:52.170 See, it does remind me of Caleb Williams last year, 0:06:52.210 --> 0:06:54.500 where all these games, they're losing the first half, they're 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.640 losing the second half. Bo Nix is a great fourth-quarter quarterback. 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.900 He's not a great one, two, and third-quarter quarterback. And 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.380 this is a little bit like Caleb. 0:07:02.100 --> 0:07:02.820 Williams last year. 0:07:03.430 --> 0:07:07.150 Bo Nix is clutch but not great, and sometimes that's enough. 0:07:07.810 --> 0:07:09.560 I'd rather have a guy who's clutch than a guy 0:07:09.580 --> 0:07:10.180 who can't get it done. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.860 By the way, that's not a touchdown. 0:07:12.020 --> 0:07:14.790 Wasn't this that 8-9 fourth quarter games went to Bo 0:07:14.830 --> 0:07:17.720 Nix last year? It is a mysterious team to me, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.820 and they had some issues on defense. 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.110 Early on, it looked like the Broncos were non-threatening. 0:07:22.290 --> 0:07:25.990 You know, my Super Bowl matchup, Paul, is Denver against L.A., 0:07:26.030 --> 0:07:28.410 and I wanted a mulligan big time after week one. 0:07:29.010 --> 0:07:31.050 Now I think I'm back in. I'm back in on 0:07:31.070 --> 0:07:32.190 Broncos versus the Rams. 0:07:32.250 --> 0:07:34.830 I'm with you because I think the Broncos up their talent. 0:07:34.930 --> 0:07:37.270 Once Jalen Waddell gets going and gets enough targets like 0:07:37.290 --> 0:07:39.380 he didn't get week one, I think they're going to 0:07:39.390 --> 0:07:39.570 be fine. 0:07:40.130 --> 0:07:40.890 This is one of those things. 0:07:40.950 --> 0:07:43.110 If your problem is your quarterback is great at fourth 0:07:43.130 --> 0:07:44.470 quarter comebacks, that's not a problem. 0:07:44.670 --> 0:07:46.290 If you gave me a mulligan, which team do you 0:07:46.330 --> 0:07:47.470 think I should pull out of that? 0:07:47.510 --> 0:07:51.040 If I get one different team, the Rams 1 and 2, 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.240 I actually feel okay. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.180 With them as my Super Bowl team. 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.500 Yeah, I think you should because talent usually plays out. 0:07:55.780 --> 0:07:57.480 I will say that the Niners are throwing a wrench. 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:57.820 Into all of this. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.740 They're a problem. They're a major problem in my Super 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.660 Bowl pick. I actually thought if I could create a 0:08:01.700 --> 0:08:03.700 time machine, I might go back and pick the Niners. 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.180 If you could, let me know because I want to 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:06.440 go back and go to a couple of Bears games. 0:08:06.670 --> 0:08:08.290 All right, let's get to college football. This was a 0:08:08.390 --> 0:08:10.590 really huge weekend on paper, college football, and it really 0:08:10.610 --> 0:08:12.500 turned out to be a great weekend all over the 0:08:12.510 --> 0:08:15.320 place in college football. Florida rolls the Ole Miss, Iowa 0:08:15.380 --> 0:08:19.240 over Michigan, Texas over Tennessee, but the USC-Oregon game was 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.780 the fallout game of the weekend. Oregon's playing well. USC 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.240 was 4-0, but a very shaky 4-0. Early in the game, 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.230 Dante Moore of Oregon gets knocked out. He got actually 0:08:29.290 --> 0:08:31.750 knocked out of the game. Dylan Riella comes in. You 0:08:31.770 --> 0:08:33.810 remember him from his college football tour he's been making 0:08:33.830 --> 0:08:37.130 the past few years, and they actually played fantastic. Oregon 0:08:37.250 --> 0:08:41.150 beat USC with a backup quarterback, and Raiola did everything. 0:08:41.450 --> 0:08:43.290 If you watch this play here, this is the Dante 0:08:43.309 --> 0:08:47.270 Moore slide and hit. This is as bad as it gets. Now, 0:08:47.530 --> 0:08:49.200 we could talk more about this later, but this is, 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.300 if you want to say, watching in slow motion, that 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.240 he slid a little late, maybe, but that doesn't excuse 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:57.070 the other half of it. 0:08:57.500 --> 0:08:57.820 It doesn't. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.640 Yeah, I mean, listen, there was a lot of targeting 0:09:00.660 --> 0:09:02.700 this weekend. There were a lot of Helmuth-Delma hits. Leading 0:09:02.740 --> 0:09:06.280 with the elbow like that is totally unacceptable. I think personally, 0:09:06.809 --> 0:09:10.950 His post-injury reaction is what doomed the USC player. 0:09:10.970 --> 0:09:12.870 Yeah, Desmond Stevens, the USC linebacker. 0:09:12.970 --> 0:09:15.390 He was caught on camera celebrating on the sideline. You 0:09:15.410 --> 0:09:17.350 don't celebrate when somebody's in serious trouble. 0:09:17.410 --> 0:09:20.809 Yeah, even if the hits happen, clearly he didn't hold up. 0:09:20.809 --> 0:09:23.730 Right, it's football. It's absolutely vicious hits like that happen 0:09:23.750 --> 0:09:24.309 all the time. Right. 0:09:24.350 --> 0:09:27.700 The sideline guys, the position coaches on USC have to 0:09:27.740 --> 0:09:29.700 save him from his health. They've got to sit him 0:09:29.740 --> 0:09:32.240 down and say, hey, calm down, stop high-fiving. 0:09:32.540 --> 0:09:35.080 You're making this worse. And USC, as everyone knows, had 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.120 to suspend him the day before. 0:09:36.550 --> 0:09:40.250 But bigger picture is fallout of the weekend, Lincoln Riley 0:09:40.270 --> 0:09:42.719 and USC, if there was a honeymoon, it's well over. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.140 Well, it's funny to me. 0:09:44.179 --> 0:09:48.300 Lincoln Riley seemingly left Oklahoma because he didn't want to 0:09:48.380 --> 0:09:50.020 follow Oklahoma to the SEC. 0:09:50.020 --> 0:09:52.280 And then he goes to USC. And then what's USC do? 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.929 Go to the Big Ten, which is particularly not suited 0:09:54.929 --> 0:09:57.120 for Lincoln Riley. He needs to be in the Big 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.100 12 ball where there's not such a thing as two 0:09:59.130 --> 0:09:59.880 sides of the ball. 0:10:00.260 --> 0:10:02.920 There is just no toughness to a Lincoln Riley USC team. 0:10:03.020 --> 0:10:04.819 And they've got talent. They've got a lot of young talent. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.880 They do have a quarterback, but it just doesn't feel 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.580 like they're threatening week to week. USC's next few games, Washington, 0:10:10.940 --> 0:10:16.380 Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Indiana, then UCLA to finish 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.610 the season. I mean, they should be favored in most 0:10:19.620 --> 0:10:22.210 of them. I'm not sure today. I don't think today 0:10:22.230 --> 0:10:24.000 they're going to be favored in all of those. Is 0:10:24.020 --> 0:10:26.890 that a team, USC, that fires their coach not midseason 0:10:26.910 --> 0:10:27.910 but end of season? 0:10:27.929 --> 0:10:29.750 So I saw different numbers on the buyout, between 70 0:10:29.750 --> 0:10:30.230 and 80 million. 0:10:30.250 --> 0:10:30.950 For Lincoln Riley. 0:10:30.990 --> 0:10:33.709 For Lincoln Riley. So I don't think they want to 0:10:33.750 --> 0:10:35.429 pay that money for the buyout. I think a lot 0:10:35.450 --> 0:10:36.590 of people are going to be turned off by that money. 0:10:36.850 --> 0:10:39.250 But it's even a bigger picture. Lincoln Riley brought in 0:10:39.290 --> 0:10:42.809 a lot of young studs, especially their defensive end, Luke Waffle. 0:10:42.830 --> 0:10:46.480 I think USC is not dumb. If you fire Lincoln Riley, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:47.060 they're gone. 0:10:47.140 --> 0:10:49.520 So your concern is if you let the players go 0:10:49.540 --> 0:10:50.580 by getting rid of your coach. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:52.479 Yeah. 0:10:53.179 --> 0:10:55.600 I think generally, because it's USC and the way that 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.260 they work, I do not think Lincoln Riley is going 0:10:58.280 --> 0:10:58.560 to get fired. 0:10:58.580 --> 0:10:59.720 What's your take? Do you think he's gone? 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.559 I think you're in a position where it's going to 0:11:01.580 --> 0:11:04.179 be like where the wag the dog. The boosters are 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:05.760 going to say, we want this guy gone. And they'll 0:11:05.780 --> 0:11:07.760 say USC is going to say, you've got to pay 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.990 for it. Yeah, we'll fire whoever you want, but you 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.450 guys got to pick up the buyout like they do 0:11:11.510 --> 0:11:13.390 at Texas A & M, like they do at Clemson, 0:11:13.429 --> 0:11:14.429 like they do at Florida State. 0:11:15.820 --> 0:11:18.260 I see what you're saying, but this is overall just 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.140 a very bad situation. By the way, I got something 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:21.620 in my ear, but I got a major NFL trade. 0:11:22.530 --> 0:11:24.750 Really? Major. Do you want it now or do you 0:11:24.790 --> 0:11:27.490 want it after the break? I got to give it 0:11:27.510 --> 0:11:27.640 to you. 0:11:27.670 --> 0:11:28.130 Let's do it now. 0:11:28.450 --> 0:11:29.230 I got to give it to you. 0:11:29.550 --> 0:11:30.770 A major NFL. Can you give me a hint? 0:11:31.530 --> 0:11:33.010 Quarterback. You're going to guess it. I'll let you guess. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.000 It's a quarterback trade. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.340 Mac Jones has been traded to the New York Giants. 0:11:39.020 --> 0:11:43.110 Right team, wrong player. J.J. McCarthy is reunited with a Harbaugh. J.J. 0:11:43.150 --> 0:11:45.890 McCarthy goes from Minnesota to the New York Giants. Of course, 0:11:45.910 --> 0:11:48.310 played for Jim Harbaugh at Michigan. Now he goes with 0:11:48.350 --> 0:11:52.189 John Harbaugh. Not a shock. Jameis Winston was awesome in 0:11:52.210 --> 0:11:53.530 the interview, but did not play well. 0:11:53.770 --> 0:11:55.170 I'm going to need a 20 to react to this 0:11:55.210 --> 0:11:57.719 in the moment. I think this is great for the Vikings. 0:11:57.750 --> 0:11:59.780 This is a problem that's out of the building. They 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.040 don't have to coach him. They don't have to deal 0:12:01.059 --> 0:12:01.290 with him. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:02.160 It's over. 0:12:02.179 --> 0:12:03.620 They're going to take a lot of heat for the 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.140 direction of their franchise, but the problem is no longer 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.270 in the building. I think this is terrible for the 0:12:08.290 --> 0:12:08.910 New York Giants. 0:12:09.220 --> 0:12:09.430 Why? 0:12:09.740 --> 0:12:11.540 Because you're not competing for anything this year. 0:12:11.620 --> 0:12:11.800 Nope. 0:12:11.900 --> 0:12:14.300 This guy doesn't help you compete this year, and now 0:12:14.340 --> 0:12:17.860 you've inserted a quarterback controversy into next year's Giants team. 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.590 You're actually giving a lot of credit to J.J. McCarthy. 0:12:20.610 --> 0:12:22.310 Are you sure he's good enough to create a quarterback 0:12:22.350 --> 0:12:24.030 controversy or win any games this year? 0:12:24.070 --> 0:12:25.970 Well, why get rid of a fifth-round pick for someone 0:12:26.010 --> 0:12:28.090 who you don't believe can push Jackson Dart? Now, you 0:12:28.110 --> 0:12:30.260 have Jackson Dart hurt. And he has to come back 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.199 and deal with this, another young gunslinger. 0:12:32.260 --> 0:12:32.960 Well, I've got to be honest. 0:12:33.179 --> 0:12:35.320 If they had done Jameis for the next 14 weeks, 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.220 that would be a major, major problem. 0:12:37.460 --> 0:12:38.900 They could start losing bad. 0:12:38.940 --> 0:12:41.530 But you like the lose-bad Giants. 0:12:42.530 --> 0:12:43.890 I don't think J.J. McCarthy is going to win you 0:12:43.910 --> 0:12:46.350 that many games. He's a developmental quarterback. So why not 0:12:46.370 --> 0:12:48.510 bring another developmental arm into the building? 0:12:48.790 --> 0:12:50.989 Hey, you know what? It's a lottery ticket. What if 0:12:51.010 --> 0:12:51.290 he's good? 0:12:51.610 --> 0:12:52.930 Breaking news on Snapchat. 0:12:52.950 --> 0:12:54.700 Yeah, oh, I love breaking news. I love to be 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.740 the one. You were close. By the way, Mac Jones, 0:12:56.980 --> 0:12:58.800 if they had gotten Mac Jones, that would be bad. 0:12:59.059 --> 0:13:01.300 But I was thinking that touchdown, I'm sorry, the interception 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.420 Cam Ward threw at the end of the Titans-Giants game, 0:13:03.820 --> 0:13:07.079 that was four draft slots in one play. Basically, Jeremiah 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.520 Smith just got sent to Tennessee and not the New 0:13:10.540 --> 0:13:10.780 York Giants. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.280 We are cooking. All right, coming up next, we got 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:14.320 our warm takes. 0:13:14.580 --> 0:13:17.740 I have a great Marvel movie analogy that Paul will 0:13:17.820 --> 0:13:19.160 not understand, but you might. 0:13:19.460 --> 0:13:24.640 That's Not So Fast, Pabst and Perloff. All right, Iowa City, 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.380 this is for you. Paps and Perloff, not so fast. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:28.240 This is the midday pick-me-up. 0:13:28.260 --> 0:13:28.600 Here we go. 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:34.140 Final seconds, Iowa versus Michigan. Hank Brown, laser back shoulder. 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:39.100 Reese Vandersee for the win. You've got to review it, sure, 0:13:39.140 --> 0:13:42.640 but that is a beautiful catch. Reese Vandersee, back shoulder 0:13:42.660 --> 0:13:44.610 play from Hank Brown for the win on the road 0:13:45.010 --> 0:13:45.850 for the Iowa Hawkeyes. 0:13:46.130 --> 0:13:46.470 Gorgeous. 0:13:47.929 --> 0:13:49.970 Gotta be honest, I was shocked Iowa got down the 0:13:50.010 --> 0:13:51.090 field in that scenario. 0:13:51.370 --> 0:13:53.930 What does Iowa have a minute-long drive like that? 0:13:54.230 --> 0:13:55.870 Well, it was fascinating for a couple reasons. Look at 0:13:55.910 --> 0:13:56.430 this picture. 0:13:56.490 --> 0:13:59.150 If I lived anywhere near Iowa City, I would wallpaper 0:13:59.190 --> 0:14:01.949 my dining room in this picture. This is fantastic. 0:14:02.470 --> 0:14:05.100 Really wild game, and Michigan gave it up at the end. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.580 One thing that happened with Michigan, they made a play 0:14:07.660 --> 0:14:09.900 late on that drive where they pushed someone out of bounds. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.240 They got a 15-yard penalty. and made it instead of 0:14:12.260 --> 0:14:12.880 a chuck. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:13.540 Oh, I know. 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:14.059 You saw it. 0:14:14.380 --> 0:14:19.060 Yeah, I mean, sloppy play, late hits all over college football. 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.100 It's really driving me crazy. 0:14:20.140 --> 0:14:20.760 No excuses. 0:14:20.820 --> 0:14:22.690 It's time for some warm takes, and let's stay with it. 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.960 Warm takes here on Not So Fast. I will go first, Pearl. 0:14:25.300 --> 0:14:25.700
