We're gonna help get you there. 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 3: Unmatched selection, fast reshipping, free road hazard protection, over ten 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 3: thousand recommending installers, tire iraq dot com. The way tire 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 3: buying should be Monsei. Earlier today, we actually watched a 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 3: football game that counted. I know we didn't have another 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 3: these the preseason. I'll get into that later, but anyway, 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 3: final week of the preseason, the NFL these throwaway games, 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 3: we actually had college Football's Week zero, limited fanfare, but 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: we did have a game between tenth rank Florida State 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: and Georgia Texas. Game was in Dublin, Ireland, which I skin, 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: I don't understand. They started using the Dublin as a 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: place for a Notre Dame game sometimes against Boston College. 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: That makes sense, Notre Dame Boston College, Dublin, Ireland makes 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 3: a little sense. No sense of Florida State in Georgia Tech. 19 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 3: But this was a game and we were talking about 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 3: it before we got on the air. 21 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: We both watched this game, I was riveted. I was very. 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 3: Anxious to see about dj Ouyung la La, who I 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: have been following since his high school days, and he 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 3: came out the same year as Bryce Young. They were 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 3: the two celebrated LA based high school quarterbacks that were 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 3: not going to stay home. Bryce was going to Alabama 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: and DJ was going to go to Clemson, who were 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: the two big powers in college football. And there was 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: DJ his first year, having to fill in for Trevor 30 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: Lawrence for a couple of games through for like almost 31 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: five hundred yards against Notre Dame, led a big comeback. 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: You're like he's on his way, and then the next 33 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: year the tables turned. Bryce wins the Heisman and DJ 34 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: throws more interceptions than touchdowns for Clemson. Eventually ends up 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: at Oregon State for a year and then they pulled 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: the plug on the PAC twelve and now is at 37 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: Florida State. And I think a lot of people thought 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: the reason that Florida State had a top ten ranking 39 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: is all right, they got Uyonga la Lay, fifth year 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 3: quarterback a lot of experience, played pretty well for Oregon 41 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: State a year ago, and I just saw a guy 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: that seems to be suck in the mud. He didn't 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: do much of anything today and Florida State, as a 44 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: lot of people were saying, coming at that devastating bowl 45 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 3: loss sixty three to three, when of course they had 46 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 3: lost their starting quarterback, that. 47 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: This team seems a little overrated. 48 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: They were certainly no better than Georgia Tech, and they 49 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 3: end up losing this game on. 50 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 4: A field though you know, college football, college basketball, it's 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: my it's the area where I have the least fandom. 52 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 4: I don't have any dog in any fight when it 53 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 4: comes to any of these teams. So I truly just 54 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 4: watch to watch football. Now, DJ, You're right, there were 55 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 4: a couple of four down plays that he executed, but 56 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: he didn't stand out in the game. 57 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: But this game gave. 58 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 5: Me everything I would want to kick off football. 59 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 4: You had both teams scoring early on great, You had 60 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: a close game at halftime wonderful, and then you had 61 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 4: the fourth quarter where they were tied. 62 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 5: But then Georgia Tech takes the lead. 63 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 4: And it was Georgia Tech's defense that I thought stood 64 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: out the most. They made it hard for Florida to 65 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 4: get down like they ended up scoring and tying the game, 66 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 4: but they made it hard for them, and they took 67 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: up like the entire half of that fourth quarter just 68 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 4: to score. 69 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 2: They had to. 70 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 4: They had three fourth downs in a row that they 71 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: had to get through because the defense from the yellowjackets. 72 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 5: It was an entertaining game. 73 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 4: For me because I just didn't care from beginning to end. 74 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 4: And then I right when Georgia Tech took over the ball, 75 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 4: I was like, they are going to drain the clock. 76 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 4: That's what do They're gonna drain the clock? And I 77 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: told you my least vandom here. So I saw that 78 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 4: their kicker isn't like maybe the greatest kicker, Like, he 79 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 4: hadn't done anything like that in the fourth quarter. So 80 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: I was like a little bit nerd. 81 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 5: And when he kicked, I was like, oh. 82 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: It was cleared. I just was just hang it on, 83 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: hanging on that hooks a little bit. You know, he 84 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: ain't gonna make it. 85 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 3: It just stayed straight, just inside that upright inside. 86 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: So for me on football season, oh, I'm so excited. 87 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 3: I'm so excited about a whole new look for college 88 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: football this year. Although I have to say this, so 89 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 3: I'm looking at you know, any of the websites and 90 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: they'll have the conference standings and I'm looking at the 91 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 3: Big Ten. 92 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: There are eighteen schools. 93 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: I mean, it's like this long of a list, and 94 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 3: I see my UCLA, you know, somewhere in the middle 95 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: of this. 96 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: I'm like, wow. 97 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't even have it broken down by divisions. 98 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just one mass of schools. And they 99 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: still list the PAC twelve. And there's two schools, Oregon 100 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 3: State and Washington State, and they're still listed as the 101 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 3: PAC twelve. So you have the Big ten with eighteen 102 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 3: school the Big twelve I think has sixteenth Street. I think, yes, yeah, 103 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: and they're still called the Big twelve. Yeah, and then 104 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: the PAC twelve has two correct. Okay, So I don't 105 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: know why we. 106 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 5: Can't pack should be Pack one two. 107 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. When the Pack eight happened. This 108 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: is in the late sixties long story shirt. The old 109 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: Pacific Coast Conference had dissolved. They rebuilt it into eight schools, 110 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 3: which was the two Washington schools, two Oregon schools, Stanford 111 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: call UCLA USC and so it was the Pack eight 112 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 3: when I started college, and then the Arizona schools were 113 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: brought in and they renamed it the PAC ten. And 114 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: then when they brought in Utah and Colorado. They renamed 115 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: it the PAC twelve, which makes sense, right, right, We 116 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: got from Pack eight to PAC ten, Pac twelve. Why 117 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 3: are you still calling it the pack? Is there anything 118 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: wrong calling it the Pack two? 119 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 5: They just want to keep us confused. 120 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 2: They just want to keep confusing and no confusion. Just 121 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 2: give me. 122 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: I want to know how many schools are in each 123 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: one of these conferences. If you want to use a number, 124 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: I look, ACC doesn't use the number, at SEC doesn't 125 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 3: use the number. But for the Big twelve, the Big ten, 126 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 3: and the PAC twelve, they're not even close to those numbers. 127 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 4: No, But at this point, I assume it's more just 128 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 4: like you don't want to lose that name. 129 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 5: Why that's the only thing that would make sense. But 130 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 5: you're right, you're right. The fact that we're here wondering. 131 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: How many are there? 132 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: Sixteen? 133 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 6: Right? No? 134 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: This was eighteen? 135 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it's let's make it easy for everybody. 136 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: One of the things I was interested in today was 137 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 3: a further explanation of the college football playoff. So you 138 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 3: go from four schools to twelve. This is a good thing. 139 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: It's a legitimate playoff now. But when they announced this, 140 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: we still had five power conferences. Now we only have four. 141 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 3: So the way this is going to work, and this 142 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: is going to be interesting. So you're going to have 143 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 3: the five highest rank conference champions the top and then 144 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: seven at large teams. So the way the seeding works 145 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 3: is the top four rank and you have to win 146 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: your conference championship. You have to be conference champions, and 147 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: the four highest ranked conference champions will be the top 148 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: four seeds and they get a first round by what's 149 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: interesting to me is the fifth seed, which we'll have 150 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 3: to play a first round game against the twelve seed, 151 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 3: will be the fifth highest rank conference champion, and unless 152 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: Washington State or Oregon State has an undefeated season that 153 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: is not likely. It's going to be one of the 154 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: group of five conferences that gets the five seed. And 155 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 3: then from that point on, obviously the at large teams 156 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: will be seated by rank. So already, for see, there's 157 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: going to be controversy about this. There's always controversy, least 158 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 3: the idea that there could be a team outside of 159 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,119 Speaker 3: the top twelve that you say, wow, they were robbed 160 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: of a chance of winning the national championship. 161 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 5: You won't hear that you should not you should not 162 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 5: hear that. 163 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: You know, there's gonna be probably complaints because I can 164 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: already foresee a few first round matchups are going to 165 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: be pretty one sided, and they're going to say there's 166 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 3: too many teams. Rich Ormberger insists it should be a 167 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: sixty four school tournament, just like basketball. 168 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: Okay, Rich, that's rich, that's rich Ormbergs. Just play on this. 169 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 4: I mean, that's better than how I heard it started, 170 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 4: where you would have put the teams in a computer 171 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 4: and a computer would decide who goes to the championship. 172 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 5: I heard that that's how it used to be. 173 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 2: That's crazy. Well what's going to be crazy? 174 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 7: Though? 175 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: They still have a conference championship game. So add up 176 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: the numbers. 177 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: If you are in the conference championship game, you're gonna play, 178 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 3: if you get to the championship game at least sixteen 179 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: or if you're not a top four seed, seventeen games. 180 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: Seventeen games, that's a lot the NFL season. That's the 181 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 2: same as an NFL season. A getting ready. 182 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's going to be an exciting year for 183 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 3: college football, no question about that. But Florida's state overrated. 184 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 3: It's hard again. The thing about today's game was and this. 185 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: You know, we talk about the NFL and the preseason 186 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: and why we still have a preseason. Look, we didn't 187 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: have a preseason in twenty twenty because of COVID. We 188 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: got right to Week one and it was a little 189 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: bit shaky, but you know, within a couple of weeks, 190 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 3: everybody got up to speed. That's that's what we do 191 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 3: to college, that's what we do in high school or 192 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: no preseason games. Yeah, so I eventually, hopefully we don't 193 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: have to, you know, pretend to put any significance on 194 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: any preseason game in the NFL. 195 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 4: You know, last week I argued with you about this 196 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 4: because I do think there should be a preseason, But man, 197 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: it's getting hard to stand by that. It's getting harder 198 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 4: and harder to stand by that because what is the 199 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 4: point this week? In particular, it really does feel like 200 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 4: what is the point of this week? 201 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 3: Well, I know this, if you were a Cowboys fan. 202 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: Right now, we got the Chargers and the Cowboys playing. 203 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 3: All right, we got about seven minutes to go in 204 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 3: the third quarter, Chargers of leading this game. Charger fans, 205 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: I think have seen enough of East and Stick this preseason. 206 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 3: By the way, in this game, He's eight for twenty two. 207 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: That's been pretty much on par for him. He has 208 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: one seventy yard play. Well actually that was a run 209 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 3: for seventy yards by Darius Davis, but he had a 210 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 3: seventy eight yard touchdown to a receiver that I've never 211 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 3: heard of. And then if you're a Cowboys fan, you're like, 212 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 3: how much more Trey Lance can I take? So basically, 213 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: these two teams really personify what the preseason's all about. 214 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: If you're a Chargers fan, you've gotten a steady stream 215 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 3: of East and stick because Justin Herbert isn't ready to 216 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 3: play yet. And if you're a Cowboys fan, no, they're 217 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: not going to be throwing out Dak Prescott in a 218 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: preseason games. So a lot of Trey Lance showing that 219 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 3: Trey Lance was a terrible draft pick by the forty nine. 220 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: Ers third overall a couple years ago. So that's what 221 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: you got. That's what you got. 222 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 4: And so again it's getting harder and harder to stand 223 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 4: by my preseason is needed. 224 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: Maybe I changed my mind fully. 225 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 3: Next year, well I know this, at least at least 226 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 3: we have games to watch next week. 227 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: Got nothing? Yeah, I know, yeah, we have this crazy bye. 228 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 3: Week now, but we will have a full week of 229 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 3: college football, all right, So we got a lot of 230 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 3: things going on today, and of course the man on 231 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: the other side's going to give us even the latest 232 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: on the NFL because there's still a lot of questions 233 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 3: that have yet to be answered as we get ready 234 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: for the start of the NFL season.

Here a Fox Sports Saturday. We're live 265 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 3: from the Tairaq dot com studios. All right, as we 266 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: count down these final preseason games, and by the way, 267 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 3: the Cowboys got in the end zone, big y on there. 268 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: What's still to be done? What have we learned from 269 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 3: the preseason? If anything? Has to get ready for the 270 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 3: real games, which started in a couple of weeks. So 271 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: the man that's been following every single second of every 272 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 3: single preseason game is joining us right now. He is 273 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 3: our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider, Adam Kaplan. I know 274 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: that you haven't done that. I just want to make 275 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 3: it sound like you are. 276 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 2: I know you're paying attention. 277 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, you're looking for storylines emerging 278 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 3: from the preseason. There's certain players that maybe we'd like 279 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 3: to have seen a little more of. You get a 280 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: sense of what we're going to seize or coming up 281 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 3: for the start of the regular season. But what has 282 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 3: been your takeaway from this preseason? What sort of stood 283 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 3: out for you? 284 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 7: Adam? It's actually on what you were talking about. 285 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 9: So, you know, for obviously, for several decades you had 286 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 9: four preseason games. Then three years ago we moved to three. 287 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 9: And we've seen the last two years that the third 288 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 9: preseason game is no longer the old way where it's 289 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 9: a dress rehearsal game the starters will play a half 290 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 9: or into the third quarter. In fact, now some teams 291 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 9: don't play their starters at all. Some feel like Mike Tomlin, 292 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 9: that he plays his starters in the preseason anyway, and 293 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 9: some just you know, what we'll get them out for 294 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 9: a quarter, maybe a series or two. 295 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 7: So it's just different. 296 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 9: There's no I know for people a wager, it's like 297 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 9: you're trying to get an advantage. 298 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 7: Every team is different. 299 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 9: Nick Seriana, the Eagles head coach, sit after today's game 300 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 9: against the Vikings. That and he wound up not playing 301 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 9: the offensive start of the preseason. The defensive starters, a 302 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 9: lot of them played the first two games. He felt 303 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 9: that if practices were not good, he would have played 304 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 9: the starters today. And I think that's kind of where 305 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 9: the a lot of these head coaches. 306 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 4: Are adam with tomorrow's last set of preseason games here. 307 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 4: Do you think that there is a true quarterback competition 308 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 4: in New England? 309 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 9: Well, if you would have asked me two weeks ago, 310 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 9: I would have said, no way, it's not close. But 311 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 9: Drake may really against the Eagles. Don't let the numbers 312 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 9: fool you. He played very well two weeks ago. And 313 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 9: they will play tomorrow. They're the last game of this 314 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 9: third week. They will play at the Commanders tomorrow night, 315 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 9: and it Brissette's going to start, and again he's most 316 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 9: likely going to start the season as a number one guy. 317 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 9: But Gerd Mayo, their head coach, left it open. He 318 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 9: did say a week ago, listen, May's coming on here. 319 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 9: Look if he plays lights out, plays even better in practice, 320 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 9: then you know we're not going to roll it out. 321 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 9: But yeah, I think high percentage that it's going to 322 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 9: be present. But I would also bet that A they're 323 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 9: going to be a bad team and B because of 324 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 9: the pick that they spent third pick overall, he's going 325 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 9: to play majority of the snaps this season anyway. 326 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 3: All right, so we know at this point that we 327 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 3: are going to have three of these six first round 328 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 3: quarterbacks starting from day one, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and 329 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: the guy I predicted how long ago was this, bow Knicks. 330 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 3: I said, bow Knicks will lead the Denver Broncos into 331 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 3: a wild card spot. I don't think the Chargers are 332 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 3: going to be any good this year. The Raiders aren't 333 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: going to be any good this year. Denver could sneak 334 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: in nine to eight, ten and seven and maybe get 335 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 3: into a wild guard position. And I think bow Knicks, 336 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 3: with his incredible experience, played more Division one football games, 337 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: started more Division One games than any quarterback in history, 338 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: at least in the short term is going to work 339 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: in his favor working with a coach like Sean Payton. 340 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 3: I'm looking for bow Knicks to play outplay this season, 341 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: both Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels. 342 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 2: What do you think about prediction? 343 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 7: All right, A couple of things here. You are right 344 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 7: with snaps. 345 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 9: So in terms of playing college football and starts and snaps, 346 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 9: the more you play, the better off you're going to be, 347 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 9: the better chance you have to succeed. 348 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 3: So like rock Birdy of with all those four years 349 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: of experience at Ioway, Yeah, look. 350 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 9: Look, but now, of course there was a big reason 351 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 9: why he dropped to the last pick overall two years ago, 352 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 9: but it certainly helped him. 353 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 6: Know. 354 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 7: It's a fair point. In fact, I'm going to take 355 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 7: a one step further. 356 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 9: So back at when I was working at ESPN, I 357 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 9: was on a show called NFL and Siders, and you know, 358 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 9: we were putting our information out and I said that 359 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 9: Mitch Trubisky, based on the information I had, would be 360 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 9: a top ten pick. Bill Polly in the Hall of 361 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 9: Fame general manager, said I was Look, he didn't get 362 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 9: mad at me. He thought it was preposterous. He goes 363 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 9: with those limited starts. It's ridiculous because the history going 364 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 9: back to the sixties, and he didn't know the number offhand, 365 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 9: but a very low percentage of starters who are drafted 366 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 9: to be starters, but only who are first round picks 367 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 9: at quarterback but start less than two years, less than 368 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 9: twenty percent. Yeah, become quality starts to the next level. 369 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 9: So that's on your point. I know bo Knicks did 370 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 9: not play well at Auburn. Let's let's not sugarcoat. He 371 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 9: did not play well at all. He played much better 372 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 9: at Oregon. Now I know of some teams Steve that 373 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 9: had second rounds great I didn't like. I know one 374 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 9: team in a third round grade I didn't like him, 375 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 9: But there are plenty of teams that did. And I 376 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 9: know Champayne came out and said this, and it's actually true. 377 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 9: I know behind the scenes he actually told the personal 378 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 9: people is he saw some similarities to Drew Brees. 379 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 7: So this is his Drew Brees. 380 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 9: Now understand that when you look at Sean Payton's career, 381 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 9: there's not a big resume of developing on quarterbacks. He's 382 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 9: worked mostly with veterans, so this is a this is 383 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 9: a good challenge for him and look it, this is 384 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 9: his guy. Like you remember now he came in that 385 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 9: he inherited Russell Wilson. He wasn't there when they brought 386 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 9: Russell Wilson in, so now he's got his own guy. 387 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 7: So I'll mentioned to see how that's going to work out. 388 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 5: Perfect transition, Adam Russell Wilson. The Steelers. 389 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 4: Apparently Mike Tomlin is not ready to make a decision 390 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 4: on who his starting quarterback is going to be, which 391 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 4: is less than two weeks away. Here we are, season 392 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 4: is here. What do you do if you're Mike Tomlin. 393 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 9: High percentage that it's going to be Russell Wilson. I'm 394 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 9: not saying it's a lock, definitely not, But when you 395 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 9: look at it, Wilson started today, then Fields came in. 396 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 9: Now they'll go over today's tape. I mean, it's just 397 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 9: kind of comical because you know, Wilson plays I think 398 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 9: one or two series and he's out, and then he 399 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 9: completed both passes and they actually block a little better. 400 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 9: Not to say that Russell's been great, but their past 401 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 9: projection has been atrocious the first two games, and obviously 402 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 9: they're feel a little bit better today and they got 403 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 9: to get Fatano their first round pick. The right tackle 404 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 9: back Brodert Jones didn't play well the second game, and 405 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 9: it's with the Steelers the previous week for two days. 406 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 9: They feel when everyone's back, their offensive line is going 407 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 9: to be very good. They feel like the last two 408 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 9: years where they have five new starters, they think the 409 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 9: going to be good. What I do worry about, though, 410 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 9: is the receiver position. Obviosa George Pickens. I'm told with 411 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 9: Roman Wilson it's actually a high ankle sprain and it 412 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 9: was not just a no more ackles frain. I'm not 413 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 9: being available week one. They got to see what happens 414 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 9: when they gets in practice. But they're just not real 415 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 9: deep at that receiver position. I know they're gonna be 416 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 9: a run team first, but the receiver position for them 417 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 9: is not very deep. 418 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 2: We're talking with the great Adam Kaplan. 419 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: Here are Fox Sports Radio NFL insider Adam, Trent Williams, 420 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 3: Brandon Ayuk. John Lynch said that he's fielding an urgency 421 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 3: to get both these guys back in to say the least. 422 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: I mean. Trent Williams is a future Hall of Famer. 423 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: He's played his best football late in his career as 424 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 3: a forty nine er and Brandon and Ayuk obviously showed 425 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: a year ago. He's a favorite target at brock Purty 426 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 3: give us the ultimate play. But these two guys, yeah, 427 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 3: will they be forty nine ers this year? Will they 428 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 3: be in the lineup Week one? 429 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 2: What is their status? 430 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 9: Trent Williams, let's start with him, Number seventy one is 431 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 9: on the did not report less because he's holding out 432 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 9: for a contract adjustment, which he's going to get. He 433 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 9: will be with the team this season, There's no question 434 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 9: about that. They don't have anyone who's ready to replace him. 435 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 9: They're kind of like Jalen Moore, who was a fifth 436 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 9: round a couple of years ago. But they don't have 437 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 9: that guy. So, yeah, look, they knew this was coming. 438 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 9: It's not a secret to them. They have to get 439 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 9: that done now, Brandon Ayuk, they're still a high percentage 440 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 9: they get done. Boy, they made a lot of progress 441 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 9: over the last two weeks. They're not there yet. I 442 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 9: know some people are pushing the Washington narrative. I would 443 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 9: say this though, if they didn't about face and said, 444 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 9: you know what, we've had enough, we're gonna we're going 445 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 9: to look to trade him. It won't just be Washington, 446 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 9: There'll be other teams involved. But also understand that Ayik 447 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 9: eliminated the Browns, the Patriots. The Patriots who kind of 448 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 9: called like every NFL team during the leading up to 449 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 9: the draft. During free agency, they wanted a veteran badly. 450 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 9: They were in the Calvin Ridley sweepstakes. They thought they 451 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 9: had a good chance to get him. Me I want 452 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 9: to stay down South, but there would be other teams 453 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 9: I think Colin who are hurting it receiver, but they 454 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 9: really want him back. And by the way, Ricky Piersoll, 455 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 9: you have the Hamster injury, which I'm told he's over now. 456 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 9: It's got he's got a shoulder issue. 457 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 7: It's a first round pick. 458 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 9: You know, they're making sure that they get the sunder 459 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 9: control and they think it's going to be by week one. 460 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 9: But that's another problem complicating again. And let's not forget, guys, 461 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 9: the big reason why they didn't want to trade Ayuk, 462 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 9: but they felt, you know, obviously it was a problem 463 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 9: for a while trying to get back to the super Bowl. 464 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 9: They don't really they're not in good shape with that Ayuk. 465 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 9: I mean this is not a secret. 466 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 7: They know this. They have depth but Ika is an 467 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 7: absolute stud talent. 468 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 9: He's a true number one on a different team. 469 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 7: He's not for the Niners. 470 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 9: He's a one A and that's that's why some people 471 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 9: think they should trade him, but they don't really want 472 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 9: to do that. 473 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 4: I can tell you that the Jets decided to trade 474 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 4: for Hassan Reddick and they've been watching him just hold 475 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 4: out all summer demand to trade. I feel like somebody 476 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 4: should be at faultier, like, how are we in this position? 477 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 5: How did they not know that this is what he wanted? 478 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. 479 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, I was with them on Wednesday when they were 480 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 9: us in the Giants for joining practice. Here's what I'm told. 481 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 9: First of all, so At and this is this is 482 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 9: what always happens at the time of a trade. You well, 483 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 9: you should make a contention and getting extension done. So 484 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 9: they could not agree to an extension, they say, I'm 485 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 9: talking to a team source. They were told by Hassan 486 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 9: that it's okay, I'm going to report to training camp 487 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 9: and I'll get my freegent deal next year because they're 488 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 9: gonna ball out. That's I'm paraphrasing here. Whatever, it's kind 489 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 9: of what he said. So on your point. Yeah, they 490 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 9: expected and report they took his word for it. Now 491 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 9: you could blame the Jets. That's fair game. Look, he's 492 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 9: not there. Here's the problem. I don't believe they're going 493 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 9: to give a new deal. He wanned it for reports. 494 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 9: Now is there? Will they adjust this contract? Remember that 495 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 9: the fines are well over a million bucks. They cannot 496 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 9: be rescinded in the new CBA, so it's punitive. It's 497 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 9: it's a problem for him. He's on the last year 498 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 9: vers deal. Now, the Eagles knew they were not going 499 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 9: to extend his contract. It's just crazy. They signed Brace 500 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 9: Souf w Rex supposed to replace for the Jets. They 501 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,239 Speaker 9: signed Huff to seventeen million year and by the way, 502 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 9: Reddick this deal here, he missed out on his workout 503 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 9: bonus of two hundred fifty thousand, but he's scheduled to 504 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 9: make fourteen point twenty five million, so he's going to 505 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 9: make Now he's going to make under he's going to 506 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 9: make probably close to twelve million. With all the fines 507 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 9: and everything else. They really can't make it up by 508 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 9: repaying them. They can't pay the fines. Now, obviously they 509 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 9: could adjust this contract. Put some incentives in. It's some upside, 510 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 9: but it's a shame. And look, I could tell you 511 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 9: they really feel good about their roster. This is the 512 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 9: best roster they probably put together in years. They finally 513 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 9: addressed their offensive line the correct way. They also finally 514 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 9: got it right with a backup quarterback. Remember they declined 515 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 9: it wasn't it wasn't Joe Flacco's decision. He wanted to 516 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,479 Speaker 9: be back with them last year. They didn't resign him. 517 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 9: That was a major mistake. Then they did bring in 518 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 9: Tyrod Taylor, who they feel very good about being their backup. 519 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 9: You know how bad it was with Tim Boyle, Trevor Simeon, 520 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 9: Zach will who's an absolute disaswer in a nightmare. They're 521 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 9: better there. They like to back up running back Brylan Allen. 522 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 9: They love. Their defense is terrific. They're my odds on favorite. 523 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 9: I they're beating out the Bills. If Rogers plays at 524 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 9: least fourteen games, they're winning the AFC East. 525 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: All Right, I have one final question. I have to 526 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: get this in, all right. I mean, this is the 527 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 3: first time in almost a quarter century the Bill Belichick 528 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 3: is not in charge of the New England Patriots. 529 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 7: It is weird. 530 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 3: So who has the final say right now for that 531 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: Patriots organization. 532 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 7: Elliott Wolf. 533 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 9: As far as I'm far as talking to agents and 534 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 9: other teams, everything is gone through Elliott. Now, what I 535 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 9: do believe is, and this goes on a lot when 536 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 9: they share control, the game day decisions should go to 537 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 9: Girod Mayo. And by the way, you should know this. 538 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 9: I don't know if you were aware of this. He 539 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 9: was the head coach of waiting. He he declined in 540 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 9: the twenty three season two intervyw with other teams because 541 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 9: he knew he was in his contract that he would 542 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 9: just wait till Bill either retired or was not retained. 543 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 7: And so Mayo. 544 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 9: Now, obviously he's getting paid pretty well, but he I'm 545 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 9: almost certain that he's got the game day decisions. But 546 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 9: Elliot Wolf does everything else, draft for agency and the 547 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 9: final fifty three. Now again, game day is important. Game 548 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 9: days is very important. You just decide who's going to 549 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 9: be playing on every Sunday, all right, So. 550 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: We'll see how it goes through Mayor. They got a 551 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 2: long way to go, though I know I don't see 552 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 2: them be. 553 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 3: Very Yeah, they they're gonna have a rough season.

Trey 670 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 10: Lance a bit of an interception of saurus here. He's 671 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 10: got two picks. He did run in a touchdown from 672 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 10: sixty yards. He's been starting for the Cowboys at quarterback, 673 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 10: but not enough here as they're losing. Not that this 674 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 10: game matters or anything earlier. We had a few other 675 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 10: NFL preseason games, notably a win for the Panthers thirty 676 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 10: one to twenty six against the Bills that saw Bryce 677 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 10: Young throw a touchdown, Lions winning twenty four to seventeen 678 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 10: against the Steelers, And after that game, Steelers said coach 679 00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 10: Mike Tomlin said that he's gonna name his starting court 680 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 10: back by the end of next week. He's delaying the inevitable. 681 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 10: I think we all know the answer to that question. 682 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 10: Packers thirty, the Ravens seven. Also the Vikings. Jaren Hall 683 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 10: remember that name. He got in as the starting QB 684 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 10: in this one for the Vikings. Two touchdown passes one 685 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 10: hundred and eighty nine yards and the Texans seventeen to 686 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 10: fifteen winners against the Rams, the legend of Tim Boyle 687 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 10: linkers on. He had two touchdown throws for the Texans. 688 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 10: And lastly, Major League Baseball, what are you laughing at? 689 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 10: You mentioned have these quarterbacks. 690 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 2: That will never see the light of day in the NFL. 691 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 10: Is amazing, Well, we're gonna see them in the UFL. 692 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 10: So yeah, maybe we know how big you are into 693 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 10: spring football. Rocky's winning against the Yankees nine to two. Also, 694 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 10: the Angels lose to the Blue Jays three to one. 695 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 10: Monsei and Steve. The Blue Jays nearly had a no 696 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 10: hitter into the ninth inning, and again it's the Angel 697 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 10: so there's not much to be said about what they 698 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 10: can put up offensively. But we did have that lost 699 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 10: in the shuffle of all this football frenzy. 700 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 3: And they didn't they saw the same picture in the 701 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 3: game going for a no hitter or was this a 702 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 3: group no hitter? 703 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 2: This was yeah, solo, it was a solo.

Week zero of the 866 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 3: college football season kicked off today. Florida State ranked tenth 867 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 3: in the country. Losing this is not uncommon. Happens every 868 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 3: single year where a team ranked in the top ten 869 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,879 Speaker 3: by season zen will not even be in the top 870 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 3: twenty five seven years. 871 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 5: That's what's gonna happen to Florida State. 872 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 3: Well, I would say they're a likely suspect because we 873 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 3: didn't see anything that was too earth shattering against the 874 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 3: Georgia Tech team that most people have picked as a 875 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 3: middle of the pack team in the ACC. So it's 876 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,439 Speaker 3: only one game, long season ahead. Speaking of a long 877 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 3: season ahead and how you can be thrown off early 878 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 3: in a season, you remember last year there was a 879 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 3: lot of noise about coach prime Deon Sanders taking over 880 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 3: at Colorado, leaving Jackson State, bringing his son with him, 881 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 3: some of his other players and all kinds of players. 882 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 3: Colorado had won one game the year before. They opened 883 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 3: up against TCU, who had been in the National Championship 884 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 3: Game the year before, and beat him. And the next 885 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 3: thing you know, Colorado's three and ozero and he is 886 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 3: the toast of the town, and he was going off 887 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 3: on any media members that were doubting whether or not 888 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 3: he could turn things around at Colorado, and by years 889 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 3: in he was named the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. 890 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,240 Speaker 3: They must have missed his last nine games, because after 891 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 3: the three and oh start, they went one in eight. 892 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 3: They finished dead last in the PAC twelve this year 893 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 3: they're moving into the Big twelve, which is going to 894 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 3: be a big challenge for this team and for Deon Sanders. 895 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 5: Well, obviously just the being the what is it person 896 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 5: of the year, sports. 897 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 4: Personal sportsman of the year, because they had to decide 898 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,920 Speaker 4: by a certain day. So that decision by that time 899 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 4: two week two, you know, well apparently. 900 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 5: Submitted in after week two. Okay, that's that's not gonna 901 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 5: happened there. 902 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 3: It's a January first issue. So again, the season was over. 903 00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,240 Speaker 2: I guess. 904 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,919 Speaker 3: Look, he was the talk of college football a year ago, 905 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 3: no question about that. 906 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,399 Speaker 2: I'm a big Deon fan. 907 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 3: As a player, He's the only athlete to have both 908 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 3: a World Series ring and a Super Bowl ring. Dion 909 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,720 Speaker 3: Sanders is in the very short list of the greatest 910 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 3: cornerbacks ever to play in the National Football League. So 911 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 3: I've always been a big Don fan. And the problem 912 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 3: for Dion Sanders this goes back to his playing days 913 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 3: when he was with the Atlanta Braves. Tim McCarver, who 914 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 3: was then the lead analyst for baseball, was in the 915 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 3: locker room and he got a bucket of ice dumped 916 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 3: on him by Dion Sanders, who was still upset about 917 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 3: something that Tim McCarver had said. 918 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 2: It was a very famous video. It's still up there 919 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 2: on YouTube. 920 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 3: Tim McCarver was not pleased, not pleased at all. So, 921 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,879 Speaker 3: but it was sort of got that idea that, hey, 922 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 3: if you're playing with Dion, if you're playing along with Dion. 923 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 2: He can be wildly entertaining, all is good. But if 924 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 2: you don't play. 925 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 3: Along with Dion, you will feel his rat And I 926 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 3: guess as we get ready for season two of the 927 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 3: Deon Sanders era with the Colorado Buffaloes, we're already getting 928 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 3: a taste of that. 929 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 930 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 4: So the Denver Post has said that their columnist Sean Keeler, 931 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 4: who recently had a little bit of a thing with Dion. 932 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 4: They there's a video you can see, but Deon Sanders 933 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 4: right away is like, why do you do this? 934 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 3: Man? 935 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 5: You don't like us? 936 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 4: And the guy's like what, No, He's like, no, you 937 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 4: don't like us, You don't you do this every single time. 938 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 4: So this happened about a week ago, and now it's 939 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 4: come out that Sean Keeler can go to these Colorado 940 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 4: football events, but he cannot ask Deon Sanders any questions. 941 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 4: Apparently this is in deon Sanders' contract that if he 942 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 4: doesn't want to deal with somebody, he doesn't have to. 943 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 5: This is just a little bit shocking to me. 944 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 4: You just listed his accolades, You just mentioned how great 945 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 4: he is as an athlete, and I think that's part 946 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 4: of the reason he thinks he can get away with this. 947 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 5: But it's like you let the outside noise bother you 948 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:15,240 Speaker 5: this much. 949 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 2: I did not. 950 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 5: I did not know that. 951 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you any example. 952 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 3: So as you know, I used to work for a 953 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 3: man named Al Davis back in his prime, back in 954 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 3: the eighties. Al Davis, and this is long before there 955 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 3: was any internet. He had every newspaper in the country 956 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 3: sent to the Raider facilities, and there were people whose 957 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 3: job was to look through these sports pages to see 958 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 3: any reference at all about the Raiders. Okay it, and 959 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 3: he would find it again. There's no internet, there's no 960 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 3: shortcuts in those days. This is how insane he was 961 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 3: and paroanoid about any negativity that could be uttered about 962 00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 3: the Raiders. But even worse so, we had probably six 963 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 3: or seven writers that were there on the premises every day, 964 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 3: the beat writers for all the papers in southern California, 965 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 3: covering the team, and this was not uncommon where we 966 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 3: would be out of practice and mister Davis would come 967 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 3: over to me and say, remove him from the premises. No, oh, 968 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 3: yeah it was I remember there was a guy named 969 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 3: Eric Nolan. He worked, I believe for the Daily News 970 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 3: at the time, and mister Davis said, get him out 971 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 3: of here. Now, I know this is a complete violation 972 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 3: of you know, like, you can't do that. But at 973 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 3: the same time, I've got my boss telling me remove 974 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 3: him him. Yeah, And so I walked up to him. 975 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 3: These are guys that I worked with on you know, 976 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 3: every single day. They were friends, and I'm like, it's 977 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:53,359 Speaker 3: your day. 978 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 7: Eric. 979 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 2: He's like what. I'm like, Yeah, he's telling me to 980 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,479 Speaker 2: get rid of me. He goes, you know he can't 981 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 2: do that, I know, but come on, help me out. 982 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, write about it, do something about it, do 983 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 3: whatever you want to do. 984 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 2: I got to take you out of here. But this 985 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,359 Speaker 2: is how some people are. 986 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 3: They get so paranoid about other people's opinions. I mean, 987 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 3: this happened all of last year where Deon Sanders would say, 988 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,919 Speaker 3: you're gonna eat your words and then the team goes 989 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 3: one and eight. The rest of the year they finished 990 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 3: last in the conference. They were getting blown out of 991 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 3: games something, guys sort of rooting. You remember, Oregon really 992 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 3: rolled it up on them, like bo Nicks was just 993 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 3: you know, throwing the bombs. They're already up, you know, 994 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 3: five touchdowns and bombs away, and uh so, you know. 995 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 2: He's not going to survive in this business. It doesn't 996 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 2: seem that way business if you're going to be that sensitive, 997 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 2: especially with the locals. 998 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 4: Yes, it just seems shocking to me that he is 999 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 4: that sensitive because they're saying that he that Keeler Keeler's 1000 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,919 Speaker 4: past coverage as personal attacks on the football program, that's 1001 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 4: what they're citing. And it's just that Healer hasn't been 1002 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 4: like sugar coating the situation. You know, like you just said, 1003 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 4: they they ended the season what foreign what eight? 1004 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 5: Is that? 1005 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 2: What? 1006 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 10: It was? 1007 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 5: Four and eight? 1008 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,240 Speaker 2: So this one an eight in the last nine games. 1009 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,839 Speaker 4: Some of the things that this guy has you know, 1010 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 4: called or said in his coverage of Colorado. He did 1011 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 4: say false prophet. I think he was talking about Deon Sanders. 1012 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 4: He did mention Dion kool Aid. He's you know, like 1013 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 4: he's just hasn't sugar coated the situation. And to me, 1014 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 4: this is also Colorado's saying kind of like what how 1015 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 4: your story started? Hey, you better be nice to us, 1016 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,919 Speaker 4: you better play nice. If you say accurate things about us, 1017 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 4: We're not gonna let you ask questions? 1018 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,280 Speaker 2: How? How? Oh? It even got worse? 1019 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 3: At one point they were talking, what was what was 1020 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,320 Speaker 3: Colorado's biggest problem a year ago? Their offensive line was awful? 1021 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,880 Speaker 3: Sador Sanders was running for his life. He was sacked 1022 00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 3: fifty three times. Fifty three times so that he was 1023 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 3: running for his life. I mean that's almost five times 1024 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 3: a game. And so they were having this line of 1025 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,919 Speaker 3: questioning with Dion Local and they said, have you done 1026 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 3: anything to bolster the offensive line? 1027 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 2: He's like, bolster? 1028 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 7: What is that? 1029 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 3: What do you mean by bolster? Like we've improved our line? 1030 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 3: So he guess he didn't like the name bolster. And 1031 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 3: they said, so does this new line have good chemistry? 1032 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 3: What do you mean by chemistry? This is what Dan said, chemistry? 1033 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,359 Speaker 3: What do you mean by so? I mean, if we're 1034 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 3: going to play that game. Look, I have been dealing with, 1035 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 3: you know, people in interview situations for years and years 1036 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 3: and years. There are certain people that I would interview 1037 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,919 Speaker 3: that if you asked a question they didn't like, we'd 1038 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 3: give you the stink eye. 1039 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,280 Speaker 2: I'll tell you. One of the most notorious was pat Riley. 1040 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 3: Pat Riley when he was the coach of the Lakers, 1041 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 3: he was sort of running ending his Laker run after 1042 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 3: all the championships, and I started my on air radio 1043 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 3: career after leaving the Raiders, and I asked him a 1044 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:06,839 Speaker 3: question that I thought was. 1045 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 2: A legit question, and he didn't. 1046 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 3: He not only did not answer the question, but in 1047 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 3: front of everybody did like the stare down at me, 1048 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 3: and I'm looking at him like, what the hell are 1049 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 3: you looking at? 1050 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 2: I mean seriously, And man. 1051 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 3: I wasn't going to be intimidated by I don't know 1052 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 3: what he thought what was going on here. I'm like, 1053 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 3: I just work with Al Davis. If you think I'm 1054 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 3: going to be intimidated by you, your nuts. But I 1055 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 3: don't understand that there's a way if you're uncomfortable with 1056 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 3: a question or uncomfortable with situation to just play it 1057 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 3: off and move on, because if you're going to pick 1058 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,919 Speaker 3: on especially the media, they're going to come back at 1059 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 3: you yes, and then there's no win in this. 1060 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 5: I was just about to say, how is this a 1061 00:50:58,640 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 5: win win situation. 1062 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 2: It's a lose lose situations. 1063 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 5: For Colorado and for Deon Sanders. 1064 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 2: The politicians know this game, right, Yeah, I mean you can't. 1065 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 3: You can't expose yourself like that. You just gotta You 1066 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 3: got to learn how to play it off. If you're 1067 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 3: uncomfortable with a question or something, there's there's ways around it. 1068 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 3: But I mean, Dion is building digging a hole right now. 1069 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 3: Look what did we say at the beginning of last year. 1070 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:31,439 Speaker 3: The thought was this, Dion is making it fun. He's 1071 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 3: bringing the fund back to college football, and he's going 1072 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 3: to get recruits everywhere jumping to join him at Colorado. Instead, 1073 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,880 Speaker 3: there's been a mass exodus. So if you're one of 1074 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 3: the you know powers to be at that university, you 1075 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,800 Speaker 3: weren't drawing flies for your games. Now every game is 1076 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 3: a sellous you're thrilled out of your mind. But is 1077 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 3: this just a flash in the pan? 1078 00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 6: Right? 1079 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 3: How is this going to project long term? If you 1080 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,720 Speaker 3: keep Dion Sanders as your head coach. 1081 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 4: It seems like it's not gonna go well if you 1082 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 4: can't handle this outside noise. So early on we just 1083 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 4: were just getting started and you're already banning a reporter 1084 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 4: who is just personal attacks like it's just honestly, it's 1085 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 4: just very surprising to me that this is. This is 1086 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,839 Speaker 4: how sensitive Dion Sanders is. 1087 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 2: He needs in it right now. 1088 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 3: And this is where the administration has to step in 1089 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 3: and saying, look, I mean, they're gonna have to draw 1090 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 3: the line. You can't do this because not only does 1091 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,760 Speaker 3: it reflect on you, it reflects on us as a university. 1092 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,759 Speaker 4: And we literally see coaches who do not want to 1093 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,720 Speaker 4: answer questions do it all the time. 1094 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 5: You can give a one word response, I love those. 1095 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 5: Let's crack me up. 1096 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,359 Speaker 3: Well Belichick, you know exactly.

As you know, I'm like 1123 00:53:59,440 --> 00:53:59,840 Speaker 2: a stack. 1124 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 5: You don't say yeah, you don't say it. 1125 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 3: Is what drew me my fascination with numbers as a 1126 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:13,239 Speaker 3: very very young child, and my first baseball cards bought 1127 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,439 Speaker 3: by accident when I was in first grade, and set 1128 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 3: me on my life's path. 1129 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 5: Wait, let a say it. 1130 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:19,359 Speaker 2: What do you mean by accident? What do you mean? 1131 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 3: So when I was in first grade, we moved to 1132 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 3: Woodland Hills, California, and there was a little market, Gary's Market, 1133 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,319 Speaker 3: where I eventually had worked there when I was in 1134 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,360 Speaker 3: high school. And so I'm in first grade and my 1135 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 3: mom and I are at this Gary's market and we're 1136 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 3: in line to pay for whatever she's buying. And you 1137 00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,840 Speaker 3: got the candy all there, and I see this baseball 1138 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:51,719 Speaker 3: bubble gum five cents five cents, okay, And I thought, wow, like. 1139 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,959 Speaker 2: A big square piece of bubble gum. 1140 00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 3: So I asked my mom, I go, Mom, can I 1141 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,359 Speaker 3: get some baseball bubble gum? It's a nickel, yeah, you know, 1142 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 3: back in the day. So she said, okay, So I 1143 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 3: buy it. I open it up and there's these five cards. 1144 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,240 Speaker 2: No gum. Oh, there's gums. 1145 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 5: There's so guma. 1146 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 3: There's a stick of gum that's like a brick, literally 1147 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 3: like you, it snaps because it's so stale. So I 1148 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 3: look at these cards. I actually still remember the first 1149 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 3: five cards I got. 1150 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,359 Speaker 5: Of course you do, and please tell the class. 1151 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 3: Ray Sideki, Dick Stewart, Camilla Pasqual, Don Zimmer, and Pete Rickard. 1152 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,360 Speaker 3: All right, so those are the first five cards. Obviously 1153 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 3: I didn't know anything about any of these players. If 1154 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 3: you had asked me at that age, do you know 1155 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 3: any baseball players? I probably said I would know Sandy Kofax, 1156 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 3: I know Don Drysdale because there were the Dodgers and 1157 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 3: I probably say Willie Mason, Mickey Manno, those are the 1158 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 3: guys I knew. But when I flipped those cards over 1159 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 3: and saw these columns of numbers, that's it. 1160 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:50,800 Speaker 5: That was a moment. 1161 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:55,120 Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, I'm not sure who these guys are, 1162 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 2: but I'm in love. So then I bought more cards 1163 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 2: and more, and then the rest is history. 1164 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 3: Oh so, the thing about numbers, they follow every sport, 1165 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:10,759 Speaker 3: there are records, and sometimes a record is set and 1166 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 3: you're just thinking it can't go any further. So in 1167 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty eight, Jose Canseco of the Oakland A's became 1168 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 3: the first player ever to have forty home runs and 1169 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 3: forty stolen bases in the same season. At the time, 1170 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,080 Speaker 3: it was a miraculous, accomplished accomplishment. 1171 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 2: Canseka was unanimous MVP. 1172 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 3: We weren't worried about steroid use at that time, you know. 1173 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:40,320 Speaker 3: So it's happened five other times where a player's gotten 1174 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,720 Speaker 3: into the forty forty club, But the idea of fifty 1175 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 3: to fifty doesn't seem possible. Like you're saying, all right, 1176 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 3: forty forty, that's as far as it's going to get. 1177 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 3: Because you don't see a lot of guys ever hit 1178 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,919 Speaker 3: fifty home runs in a year, and if you do, 1179 00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,120 Speaker 3: you're not stealing fifty bases. That does don't go to 1180 00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 3: They don't go together. No player in the history of 1181 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 3: baseball has ever led the league in home runs and 1182 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 3: stolen bases. 1183 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's not true in the modern year. 1184 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:14,359 Speaker 3: In the modern era, in the same season, Willie Mays 1185 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 3: led the league in stolen bases four times and home 1186 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 3: runs four times, with never the same year. So the 1187 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:23,720 Speaker 3: idea of fifty to fifty is seemingly impossible. Well, yesterday, 1188 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 3: Shoheio Tani became the seventh member of the forty forty club. 1189 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 3: And what makes it even more significant is he did 1190 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 3: it in twenty less games than any other player has 1191 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 3: ever done it his one hundred and twenty sixth game, 1192 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 3: and if you look at his projections for the rest 1193 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 3: of the year, he's on pace to become the first 1194 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:51,960 Speaker 3: player ever to have fifty home runs and fifty stolen 1195 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 3: bases in the same season. 1196 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:55,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's pretty incredible. 1197 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure the Dodger organization is very happy 1198 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 4: that they paid this man the amount of money to 1199 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,680 Speaker 4: get him to wear a blue jersey instead of a 1200 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 4: red one down the street. And he really Despite the 1201 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 4: ups and downs that the Dodgers have had this season, 1202 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,160 Speaker 4: Shohey has delivered. 1203 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 2: By the way, they still have the best record in 1204 00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 2: base We still. 1205 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 4: Have the best record in baseball. He really has delivered. 1206 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 4: It was his first career walk off home run. He 1207 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,479 Speaker 4: had two walk offs prelease single hits, but I didn't 1208 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 4: know was his first career home run walk off. Make 1209 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 4: it a grand slam to add on top of it 1210 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 4: like it just you could if you wrote this in 1211 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 4: a script for a movie, they would be like, nobody's 1212 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 4: gonna believe that has happened. 1213 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,440 Speaker 5: This is not real, and yet it happened and it's not. 1214 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 2: He's not done well. 1215 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 3: Here's the significance of the fifty to fifty for show Hey. So, 1216 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,720 Speaker 3: assuming that he returns to pitching, which is certainly what 1217 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 3: the Dodgers are banking on starting next season, He's never 1218 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 3: had more than ten stolen bases in the year. So 1219 00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 3: the idea of a year where he's not pitching stealing 1220 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 3: fifty bases, here's what I would predict. Once he becomes 1221 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 3: a pitcher again, He's not going to be stealing bases, 1222 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 3: probably not, are you know there's too much of a 1223 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 3: chance for injury in stealing a base. 1224 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 5: That's a big part. 1225 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 2: You're not going to risk it. 1226 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 3: So this is that year where if he's going to 1227 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 3: do something like this, this was the year to do it. 1228 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 2: When you're a DH. 1229 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 3: And the idea that this guy can do whatever he wants. 1230 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:33,520 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter whether it's hitting for average, hitting the 1231 00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:38,240 Speaker 3: long ball, stealing bases, pitching. Whatever this guy wants to do, 1232 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,160 Speaker 3: he can do. Babe Ruth was that player back in 1233 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:46,560 Speaker 3: the day. He didn't continue it, but Shoey is. And 1234 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,000 Speaker 3: so sometimes you have to take a step back because 1235 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 3: years from now, you know, years from now, you know 1236 00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 3: they're going to talk to you and you're going to say, 1237 00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 3: I used to work for the Dodgers organization. 1238 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 2: Where you when show Hey o Tani was there? Yes, 1239 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 2: I was. I saw him many times. 1240 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 3: You saw show Hey Otani, Like there's only been one show, 1241 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,880 Speaker 3: Hey o t There's never gonna be another show Hey Tani. 1242 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 2: Believe me, there will never be another show Hey Otani. 1243 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:22,880 Speaker 2: This is a once in a lifetime player period. You'll 1244 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,919 Speaker 2: never see anything like this. So you got to soak 1245 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 2: it in. 1246 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 5: You really do. 1247 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 4: And sometimes I wonder Are we taking it for granted? 1248 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 4: I actually said this the moment you are. But even 1249 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 4: when he was an angel and he was doing it 1250 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 4: and he won the MVP, I was like, we're taking 1251 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 4: him for granted. 1252 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:39,920 Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's. 1253 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,520 Speaker 4: Because it's the sport of baseball, because I also feel 1254 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 4: a little bit like. 1255 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,240 Speaker 5: Are we taking Aaron Judge for granted? 1256 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, not giving him the credit of what he's doing 1257 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 4: for the America song. 1258 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 2: Pace, for another sixty home run year. 1259 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,080 Speaker 5: Another like there is an actual chance he breaks his record. 1260 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 4: There is a chance. And I feel like, I don't 1261 01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 4: know if it's just because it's baseball, but we are. 1262 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 4: We are living in the moment of these two great 1263 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 4: stars in baseball, and I think we're taking them for granted. 1264 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:12,680 Speaker 3: Sometimes this happens, we're whatever the sport may be. Somebody 1265 01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,720 Speaker 3: comes in and does something that's just never been done before. 1266 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 3: I mean Steph Curry changed the game with. 1267 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 2: His three point shot. Did yes, he did? 1268 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,520 Speaker 3: He just saw this guy. I mean I saw him 1269 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 3: at Davidson. You know he was like, oh, yeah, this 1270 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 3: guy's pretty good. As dad played in the NBA. 1271 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 2: It was a good player, but he was just a guy. 1272 01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 5: He was just a guy. 1273 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,120 Speaker 3: You didn't think like this guy literally changed the game 1274 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 3: where everybody now is shooting three point shots because of 1275 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 3: what Steph Curry did. 1276 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, change the game. 1277 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 3: So this show, Hey, if he does fifty to fifty, 1278 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,919 Speaker 3: I mean fifty to fifty, first Dodger. 1279 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:51,200 Speaker 2: To hit fifty. 1280 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,400 Speaker 5: He's doing all these things in the first year. 1281 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 3: That's my favorite trivia question. Who holds the Dodger single 1282 01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:00,120 Speaker 3: season record for home runs? The answer is Sean Green. 1283 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,760 Speaker 3: That's right, Sean Green. 1284 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 5: One shy one shy right of fifty. 1285 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,760 Speaker 2: Yet forty nine home run Sean Green? How many people 1286 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 2: remember Sean Green? 1287 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 5: I very nice man. 1288 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,360 Speaker 4: He still comes to a Dodger events like, and he's 1289 01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 4: so nice.

You look at that score, 1395 01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:29,520 Speaker 10: and you look at the team's played, and you're like, 1396 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:30,560 Speaker 10: why are we mentioning this? 1397 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 2: Well? 1398 01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 10: The Blue Jays had a no no going into the 1399 01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,720 Speaker 10: ninth inning and it was finally taken care of and 1400 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 10: knocked aside by an Angel hit, but three to one 1401 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,280 Speaker 10: one hitter was pitched by Toronto. Rockies win nine to 1402 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 10: two against the Yankees, Orioles coming up strong three to 1403 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,680 Speaker 10: two against the Astros, Brewers over the Athletics nine to five. 1404 01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 10: Diamondbacks take it to the Red Sox four to one, 1405 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 10: the Cubs fourteen to two winners against the lowly Marlins, 1406 01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:01,440 Speaker 10: and the Giants now one game over five hundred with 1407 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 10: their four to three takedown of the Mariners and Monsey 1408 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,840 Speaker 10: and Steve. If I'm a baseball fan, I'll be a 1409 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,960 Speaker 10: fan of any team right now, but the Mariners that 1410 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 10: is it's rough painful to say the least. We were 1411 01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:19,680 Speaker 10: talking about service, the job he was doing. Remember, they 1412 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 10: had the lowest batting average of the majors at one point, 1413 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 10: I believe they had a ten game lead in the 1414 01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,599 Speaker 10: Al West. And you know, he was a runaway choice 1415 01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 10: as manager of the year. Now it gets fired. And 1416 01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,640 Speaker 10: the problem is is that this has been going on 1417 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:38,040 Speaker 10: for over a decade with this team. Yeah, I remember 1418 01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 10: I worked for a TV station in Spokane, Washington, and 1419 01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 10: we'd cover we'd show highlights of this Seattle Mariners. And 1420 01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:48,160 Speaker 10: this is like twenty twelve to twenty fourteen, this seam lethargic, 1421 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,080 Speaker 10: can't find any offense product that they were putting out. 1422 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,600 Speaker 10: Then is showing up now Nothing seemingly has changed. 1423 01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 2: Of what's going on. 1424 01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 3: So they're hiring Eggar Martinez, you know, who obviously is 1425 01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 3: one of the greatest dhs of all time. 1426 01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,479 Speaker 2: He's in the Hall of Fame. It took so long. 1427 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,680 Speaker 3: I mean, like, you have a guy who played his 1428 01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,080 Speaker 3: entire career for the Mariners. He's in the Hall of Fame, 1429 01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 3: one of the great hitters of all time. Why hasn't 1430 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:18,080 Speaker 3: this guy been helping out your hitting for years. Right now, 1431 01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:19,719 Speaker 3: now you decided, I don't know. 1432 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,480 Speaker 2: He was a DH, wasn't he. 1433 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 3: He was a DH Hall of Fame. There was always 1434 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:24,559 Speaker 3: that question. I mean, but if you look at. 1435 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 2: His numbers, I mean they're ridiculous. 1436 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 7: I'll tell you. 1437 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 10: When I look at your numbers, you know that you 1438 01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:31,680 Speaker 10: are a Hall of Famer. In my book, there's some 1439 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,200 Speaker 10: longevity involved. There's a compiler. That's the way I look 1440 01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,559 Speaker 10: at it. I'm a compiler. Bfen, thanks so much. A 1441 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 10: plus is always. 1442 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 3: Once again, we're coming alive from the tire rack dot 1443 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 3: Com studios. Another thing that's going to happen in Major 1444 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,960 Speaker 3: League Baseball this week that has never happened before and 1445 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 3: maybe will never happen again. Danny Jansen is a guy 1446 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,639 Speaker 3: who had a solid career in Toronto, like a number 1447 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,519 Speaker 3: two catcher, a little pop in his bad not much 1448 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,960 Speaker 3: of a bad average, but you know, a very solid 1449 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 3: backup catcher for a number of years with the Toronto 1450 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,080 Speaker 3: Blue Jays. So on June twenty sixth, the Blue Jays 1451 01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 3: were taken on the Red Sox and he literally fouls 1452 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:15,160 Speaker 3: a pitch off right when the umpires saying, all right, 1453 01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 3: it's pouring rain. We're gonna have to suspend this game. 1454 01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:22,800 Speaker 3: So when you suspend a game, that means you will 1455 01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,320 Speaker 3: play it at a future date to finish the game. 1456 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:30,280 Speaker 3: So that game will be finished on Tuesday. Well, it 1457 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,400 Speaker 3: just so happens that Danny Jansen no longer plays for 1458 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays. 1459 01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,320 Speaker 2: He got traded to the Red Sox. 1460 01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:41,160 Speaker 3: That's right, and the Red Sox have confirmed he will 1461 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 3: play in that game. 1462 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 2: Why not. 1463 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,519 Speaker 3: Yes, he will be the first player in the history 1464 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,439 Speaker 3: of Major League Baseball. Think about how many games have 1465 01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:52,200 Speaker 3: been played in Major League Baseball to actually have his 1466 01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,240 Speaker 3: name in the box score of both teams in the 1467 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:57,759 Speaker 3: same game. 1468 01:10:58,040 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's pretty awesome. 1469 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 7: That's unbelievable. 1470 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:01,639 Speaker 5: That's very awesome. 1471 01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, so the Blue Jays are going to have to 1472 01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,479 Speaker 4: start with the pinch hitter right in his position. 1473 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 5: And I love that. The Red Sox were like, yeah, 1474 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:09,960 Speaker 5: he's gonna play. 1475 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,280 Speaker 2: Let's do this. Absolutely yeah, because. 1476 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 5: There was no reason to not do this. 1477 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,720 Speaker 2: Come on, come on, give the people what they want. 1478 01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,439 Speaker 3: When you see the official box score of this game, 1479 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,439 Speaker 3: he will be on both the Blue Jay side and 1480 01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 3: the Red Sox socke. 1481 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,759 Speaker 2: That's pretty incredible. That is pretty awesome. 1482 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 3: Now we've had players I think the guy whose name 1483 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,680 Speaker 3: was Joel Youngblood. You got traded to a team in 1484 01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 3: the middle of a doubleheader and played for one team 1485 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,280 Speaker 3: in the first game and then the other team in 1486 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:36,080 Speaker 3: the second game. 1487 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:37,200 Speaker 7: But this is the. 1488 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,320 Speaker 2: Actual same game, same game. 1489 01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 3: How else could this happen unless there was a suspended 1490 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 3: game like this, so he will be in the box 1491 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,599 Speaker 3: score for both teams. 1492 01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. 1493 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,439 Speaker 3: Player that would otherwise be pretty much forgotten, you know, 1494 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:56,880 Speaker 3: once his career is said and done, solid pro and 1495 01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:00,559 Speaker 3: everything else. Now he has something that will only be 1496 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:01,800 Speaker 3: there forever. 1497 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, because this is this is one of those things 1498 01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 4: where it's like too many factors have to happen and 1499 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 4: we don't have a. 1500 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,720 Speaker 3: Lot of suspended games to begin with, where you know, 1501 01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 3: sometimes they call the game short because but in this case, 1502 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 3: they suspended the game, meaning we will actually finish this 1503 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,320 Speaker 3: game at a future date and in the interim, he 1504 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,680 Speaker 3: was traded to the team that he played. 1505 01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:23,720 Speaker 2: Against that game. 1506 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:24,400 Speaker 5: That's pretty cool. 1507 01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:26,360 Speaker 3: And he was the actual batter at the play for 1508 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,479 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays when they suspended the game. 1509 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 5: Literally, so they have to start with the pinch hitter. 1510 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 4: That's what's It's just so many things had to happen 1511 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,559 Speaker 4: for this to happen, which is why it's never going 1512 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,960 Speaker 4: to happen.

Well, maybe I was thinking 1543 01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:04,400 Speaker 2: of the modern jobs. 1544 01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:05,479 Speaker 5: That's also what I was saying. 1545 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,000 Speaker 2: It's like an evolution. I'm sure to the jockstrap. 1546 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,040 Speaker 4: Because didn't he start with talking about football? So I 1547 01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 4: thought he was talking about the modern rush. 1548 01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 3: Well, I mean college football technically they call it, you know, 1549 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,479 Speaker 3: eighteen sixty nine Rutgers in Princeton, although what they really 1550 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 3: were playing was rugby, you know, but they like to 1551 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 3: cite that as the first ever college football game. 1552 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,240 Speaker 2: You would know that, Yeah, eighteen sixty nine. 1553 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:28,599 Speaker 6: Are you sure? 1554 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 4: We don't ask him that, guys. 1555 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,040 Speaker 3: Speaking of the more modern game, the twenty twenty four 1556 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 3: season really kicks in the gear this week coming up 1557 01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,320 Speaker 3: week one Thursday is loaded with games. 1558 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:39,880 Speaker 5: It is. 1559 01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,240 Speaker 3: We got some games on Friday and then a beefy 1560 01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:46,120 Speaker 3: schedule of games on Saturday and then Sunday of course, 1561 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 3: no football NFL football this week. We're going to get 1562 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:54,040 Speaker 3: that USC LSU matchup in Las Vegas. 1563 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:55,799 Speaker 2: There's even a Monday game. 1564 01:14:55,640 --> 01:15:00,479 Speaker 3: There is as Florida State, who already played today, we'll 1565 01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 3: have their second game taken. 1566 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,760 Speaker 2: On Boston College. So and I always like. 1567 01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,559 Speaker 3: A lot of these games they have of these neutral sites. 1568 01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,519 Speaker 3: That game will be in Tallahassee there for Florida State. 1569 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,280 Speaker 3: They'll need that to recover after a disappointing loss today. 1570 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,160 Speaker 3: But I know you don't have a horse in the 1571 01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:22,400 Speaker 3: race of college football. I mean, here's my thing about 1572 01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:23,520 Speaker 3: college football. 1573 01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:25,200 Speaker 5: And why I wish I did. I just wish I did. 1574 01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,439 Speaker 2: But you know, this is why it reigns supreme to me. 1575 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:29,840 Speaker 3: Now, look at my dad went to USC I was 1576 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,439 Speaker 3: raised Trojan, going back to the Oja days. 1577 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:34,720 Speaker 2: I end up going to UCLA. 1578 01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 3: Because you know, and then I became a Bruin and 1579 01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 3: so obviously it's been a constant from that standpoint. But 1580 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,320 Speaker 3: the thing about college football that differentiates itself to me 1581 01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:49,800 Speaker 3: from other sports. Obviously, the history of the sport is 1582 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 3: way precedes the National Football League. The other thing is 1583 01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,320 Speaker 3: we have I believe a dozen stadiums now in college 1584 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:02,880 Speaker 3: football that have seating capacities over one hundred thousand and 1585 01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:03,960 Speaker 3: they fill it every game. 1586 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:04,280 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1587 01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 2: Do you do you believe there are NFL teams that 1588 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,679 Speaker 2: could fill over one hundred thousand seats every single game. 1589 01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:13,040 Speaker 4: I don't. 1590 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:14,960 Speaker 2: I would have to believe some. 1591 01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 4: But the fandom and in college football is next level. 1592 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:25,800 Speaker 2: It is the next level. It's generational, it's regional. 1593 01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,320 Speaker 4: And it's real. It's generational. I've been you know, I 1594 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:30,439 Speaker 4: went to cal State Fullerton. There's no football team there, 1595 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,400 Speaker 4: so that it used to be, and I was there, 1596 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:34,639 Speaker 4: there was they used to have a college for Please 1597 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 4: tell me when. 1598 01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:38,400 Speaker 3: Well back in the dead it ended in the late eighties, 1599 01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:43,599 Speaker 3: early nineties. I remember when Fullerton had Fullerton State Fullerton State. 1600 01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,640 Speaker 2: Well, I did referred to. I went to cal State Fullerton. 1601 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 4: Justin Turner was playing baseball there when I was there. 1602 01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,439 Speaker 4: But there's no football there and so I just didn't 1603 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,160 Speaker 4: have like a team to like learn about, to follow. 1604 01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,519 Speaker 4: I went to USC games, I went to UCLA games 1605 01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,400 Speaker 4: anytime I got invited, and I was always so impressed 1606 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 4: at the fandom and it is generational. I would see 1607 01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,960 Speaker 4: a grandfather with their grandson who was ten years old, 1608 01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:12,400 Speaker 4: and they're just walking to their seats, and it's such 1609 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 4: an really special type of fandom that I wish I 1610 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:16,920 Speaker 4: was a part of, but I'm not. 1611 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:17,280 Speaker 6: Well. 1612 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 2: Rivalries are a big part of it. 1613 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:19,599 Speaker 5: It is aga. 1614 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 3: I mean, we mentioned USC and UCLA, but if you 1615 01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 3: talk about Auburn Alabama. The state of Alabama does not 1616 01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,360 Speaker 3: have an NFL team, But if you live in Alabama, 1617 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,639 Speaker 3: you're either an Alabama fam or you're an Auburn fan. Okay, 1618 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 3: so the Iron Bowl is real Michigan Ohio State. But unfortunately, 1619 01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 3: with the realignment of all these conferences, we are seeing 1620 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:45,280 Speaker 3: certain rivalries disappear. I mean, for years, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and 1621 01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,600 Speaker 3: the old Big Eight decided which team would go to 1622 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 3: the Orange Bowl, and that left when Nebraska ended up 1623 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:57,559 Speaker 3: going to the Big Ten. Now Oklahoma's moving into the SEC. Texas, 1624 01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,920 Speaker 3: Texas A, and I'm also divided up Texas because they 1625 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:05,240 Speaker 3: were in the Big twelve and then Texas A and 1626 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:06,639 Speaker 3: M had moved to the SEC. 1627 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,760 Speaker 2: Now they're back together. This one really bothered me though. 1628 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:13,320 Speaker 3: Lincoln Riley, the USC coach, is sort of questioning why 1629 01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:17,759 Speaker 3: they still have to play Notre Dame, and I'm like, okay, dude. 1630 01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,960 Speaker 3: First of all, it's the greatest intersectional rivalry in. 1631 01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:26,599 Speaker 2: The history of college football. USC and Notre Dame. 1632 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,800 Speaker 3: Started back in the nineteen twenties when New Rockney, the 1633 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,160 Speaker 3: legendary Notre Dame coach, was good friends with Howard Jones, 1634 01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 3: who was the. 1635 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:34,839 Speaker 2: Coach at USC. 1636 01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:36,840 Speaker 3: He used to be a coach at Iowa, so they 1637 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,080 Speaker 3: knew each other, and you know, he was trying to 1638 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,120 Speaker 3: get this Notre Dame team on the map, and he figures, hey, 1639 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 3: if I go to the West coast, if I go 1640 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 3: to the East coast, he would play Army at you know, 1641 01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,280 Speaker 3: like Yankee Stadium. They would do this to travel. And 1642 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:51,960 Speaker 3: so they said, well, let's do a home and home. 1643 01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,120 Speaker 3: You come out, you know, you know, like every other year. 1644 01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,960 Speaker 3: You can come later in the year when the weather 1645 01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 3: is not so bad in SoCal, and then we'll come 1646 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 3: back to South Bend like earlier, you know, before it 1647 01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 3: really gets ugly. And this rivalry is part of the 1648 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,080 Speaker 3: lore of college football. So I'm hoping I don't mind 1649 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 3: the realignment. I've sort of accepted the fact that it 1650 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,679 Speaker 3: has a different look to college football, but don't lose 1651 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,719 Speaker 3: some of these rivalries because that's such a big part 1652 01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:21,080 Speaker 3: of the fabric of college football. 1653 01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I do have a theory about rivalries. Actually, I 1654 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,679 Speaker 5: think they're dying, and it's. 1655 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:30,800 Speaker 4: Because of players moving from team to team, especially now 1656 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:34,040 Speaker 4: with money nil. So I even think this with pro sports, 1657 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 4: like you don't get the Kobe Bryant and the Dirk 1658 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,719 Speaker 4: Nooviski's who just stay with one team the entire time. 1659 01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:40,559 Speaker 4: Everybody's moving and a lot of it has to do 1660 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,320 Speaker 4: with money. I'm going where the money is, and so 1661 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:43,840 Speaker 4: I think rivalries are just dying. 1662 01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:44,840 Speaker 5: Even though Lincoln. 1663 01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 4: Riley said this because he's trying to make his schedule easier. 1664 01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:49,559 Speaker 4: That's what he didn't do this, He's trying to make 1665 01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:53,200 Speaker 4: a schedule easier. But I do think rivalries are slowly 1666 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:54,920 Speaker 4: dying unfortunately. 1667 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:59,320 Speaker 3: And the argument is you create new rivalries. Yeah, sure, 1668 01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,519 Speaker 3: just because it's a rivalry. I mean, I used to 1669 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,479 Speaker 3: kid about there was a stretch when Army played our 1670 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 3: Navy played Notre Dame every year and lost forty years 1671 01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:09,240 Speaker 3: in a row, and I'm. 1672 01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 2: Like, that's not a rivalry, that's a tradition. 1673 01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,519 Speaker 3: That's a tradition, you know, that's a free spot on 1674 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 3: the Bingo board for notre name every year. But you know, 1675 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:21,000 Speaker 3: but yeah, there are certain rivalries that I think still 1676 01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:23,479 Speaker 3: can stand the test at time. So we'll see how 1677 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,160 Speaker 3: it all plays out, but we're going to see the 1678 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 3: beginning of a very different landscape for college football full blown. 1679 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:32,200 Speaker 3: Coming up this week, all right, we got a lot 1680 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 3: more coming up. Another busy weekend in sports. 1681 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 7: Keep it here. 1682 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio.
