1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: This is Straight Fire with Jason MacIntire. What is up.

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 3: Straight Firefam, It's me Jason MacIntire, Straight Fire for Wednesday,

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 3: October twenty fifth, Ladies and gentlemen, What a night in sports,

5
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: and not just because I went to a girl's volleyball

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: match with my daughter, her first. You know, she's playing

7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 3: club volleyball this season, so her team went to check

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: out a volleyball match.

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: Our local high.

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 3: School team is ridiculously good and they stomp someone. So

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 3: it was good to get in some girls volleyball. While

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: I was there, I was sneaking some Lakers on my phone,

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: sneaking some Phillies. Oh man, listen. I know we don't

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: do a ton of baseball in this podcast, but what

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: a gut wrenching loss by the Phillies. So they lead

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks two to zero in the series, they lose

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: Game three, they're up five two in Game four in

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: the seventh I think collapse, lose. Then they go up

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: three to two and they're going home for the final

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: two games. You're like, okay, they got this, and the

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Phillies end up losing four to two and it's

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 3: like over.

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: No more.

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: Bryce Harper. No more exciting bombs at Citizens Bank, just

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: a disappointing loss. You've got to be pretty crestfallen if

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: you're a Philadelphia Phillies fan. That's just a devastating defeat.

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: And now the World Series is set. The Arizona Diamondbacks

28
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: will face the Texas Rangers. Yeah, that's the World Series,

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: all right, So onto the NBA. NBA began last night.

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 3: I'm recording this after Lakers Nuggets. It's currently halftime of

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: Warriors Sons. Sons look good, but you know the Warriors

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: will come back, and so listen. It's game one of

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: eighty two. It's a marathon, okay, it is not a sprint.

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Okay.

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: I don't I don't even think I'm gonna click on

36
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: the hot takes when I see him. Game one of

37
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: eighty two, okay, And Lebron appears to be on a

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: minute's restriction. He only played twenty nine minutes. Like if

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: there's a playoff game, Lebron's pushing thirty eight forty forty

40
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 3: two minutes.

41
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: Okay, twenty nine minutes.

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: Lebron ten for sixteen, shooting twenty one points, eight rebounds,

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: five assists.

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: I can't believe he's still this good.

45
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: He was the best player on the court for the Lakers,

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: and of course, listen, Lakers, he's thirty eight years old.

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, thirty nine in December, so he's almost thirty nine.

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: Lebron was phenomenal and it wasn't enough because the Denver Nuggets,

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: the defending champs, are stacked. They have the indominable Nikola

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: Jokic another trip dubbed for him twenty nine, thirteen, and eleven.

51
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: They have the great shooting of Jamal Murray. And if

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: it's not Murray, it's my MPJA. But it's not MPJ,

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: it's KCP. If it's not KCP, it's Zeke Naji. Like

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: I mean, they got guys up, up and down the roster,

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: Reggie Jackson coming in, Peyton Watson, the young kid out

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: of UCLA, Like Denver's just got dudes. Now, I still

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: maintain I said this on the Herd and some people

58
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: came after me online.

59
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: That's what people do.

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: One to ten. I think the Lakers roster is tops

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: in the league in terms of talent one through ten. Now,

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: teams like Boston have sacrificed depth for top heavy talent.

63
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: Same with Milwaukee. Same with Phoenix, like one to six

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: they're better, okay, but you start going to ten and

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: then it's like, well, what matters more, Jason, depth which

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: helped Denver greatly last year, or top end scoring well

67
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: Denver as the top end, they don't need the depth

68
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: and in the regular season, you know depth will matter

69
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: come playoffs. What's the great pat Riley line. You play eight,

70
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: but you trust seven, or you play eight but or

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: you play trust seven but you trust six. He's famous

72
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: for saying it with the Lakers back in the eighties.

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, like, the Lakers have a great deep team,

74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: but sadly, you're not gonna win any games against any

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: elite teams. When Anthony Davis makes zero baskets in the

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: second half, zero for six ad second half, Like, I know,

77
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves was not incredible, minus fourteen, D'Angelo Russell was okay.

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: Torrian Prince was, I mean he was great.

79
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: You know, Ruie Hattimore didn't play great.

80
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: It's game one.

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: We're not gonna overreact. But I'll say this, Anthony Davis,

82
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 3: bro you just got a fatty contract.

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

84
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: Lebron is saying you're the guy. The franchise is yours.

85
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: And you're six for seventeen and you don't make a

86
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: basket in the second half. Like, I know you're facing Jokic,

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: but don't you want to face the best. To be

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: the best, you gotta beat the best, and right now

89
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: Jokic is better than ad I don't know. I just

90
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: disappointing performance from Anthony Davis all around. You know, it's

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: good to have the NBA back. I saw, Well, let

92
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: me wrap up before I move on on the uh

93
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: on the Nuggets, before I move on to like the

94
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: pregame stuff with Barkley, I did want to say, you know,

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: like it's gonna take some time for the Lakers to

96
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: gel right. So they have one new starter in Torrian Prints,

97
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: and they now played Christian Wood off the bench. Cam

98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: Reddish got a lot of minutes, gave Vinson got a

99
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 3: lot of minutes. Jackson Hayes is working his way to

100
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: the rotation. Like this is the tinkering stage. You look

101
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 3: at Denver. I'm fairly like Zeke Nagi was on the

102
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: team last year, Peyton Watson was on the team last year,

103
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: Reggie Jackson was on the team, Christian Brown Like there's

104
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 3: not a lot of newness there. The Nuggets are gonna

105
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: be very, very good. We know that that's not new

106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: a team like the Phoenix Suns, they've got a lot

107
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: of new guys. The Warriors they have one new guy

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 3: and Chris Paul. But like when you've got to work

109
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: in all these new guys.

110
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: It's like it's gonna take some time, you know.

111
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: So yeah, anyways, so that you know, I don't need

112
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 3: to go fifteen minutes on the Lakers on Opening Night,

113
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: but I just thought I would hit that. We actually

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: have a great guest today college football, Brett McMurphy. It's

115
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: on the Jim Harbaugh saga. Like Rob g and I

116
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: discussed whether or not we should work into yesterday's pod

117
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 3: the Jim Harbaugh sign stealing stuff, and we said, you

118
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: know what, We'll do the NBA preview recap Niners Vikings,

119
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: and we'll save Harbaugh for Wednesday. So McMurphy and I

120
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: dive in. He's got some conspiracy theories.

121
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 2: I love Brett m murphy.

122
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: Really sharp guy, been around the business. We have some

123
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 3: disagreements on quarterbacks at the next level, but overall, brettm

124
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: murphy is just an oracle for knowledge on college football.

125
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: Really plugged into all the big programs. I think you'll

126
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: really enjoy the interview. The one other thing I guess

127
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: I would talk about in the NBA is this, you know,

128
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, you know, the NBA has decided, you

129
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 3: know what, we got to have our guys play and

130
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: not sit out, no load management. And it's I guess

131
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: technically it's not whatever reason, it's, hey, we've got a

132
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: TV deal coming up. Everybody wins if everybody plays, and

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: even if there is some chicanery and not everybody plays.

134
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: What if we had the big vocal guys, Charles Barkley.

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what if we had Charles.

136
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: Barkley go after the players say they gotta play. Now,

137
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: Barkley has been beating this drum forever. Screw load management.

138
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: These guys are getting paid sixty million bucks and they're playing,

139
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: you know, half the season.

140
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: This is pathetic. Blah blah blah. Barkley went in.

141
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: Before the season opening game. Now he knew, you know,

142
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: season openers, large TV audience.

143
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: Barkley knew what he was doing.

144
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: And it's a strategic move. And listen, on some level,

145
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: I agree with Charles Barkley, Yes, you need guys to play.

146
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: Here's the problem. This ain't the NFL where there are

147
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: seventeen games and then the playoffs. Okay, four months playoffs.

148
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: The NBA season is eighty two games. It is in

149
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 3: the modern era unthinkable for players to play at this pace,

150
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: to play all these games. And remember, kids are playing way, way,

151
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: way more AAU basketball coming up than they did back

152
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: in the eighties and the nineties. The AAU levels are

153
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: insane right now, and it's almost like the bodies are

154
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: breaking down earlier. And I'm sorry, Charles Barkley, but here's

155
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: the reality. Yes, I want to see guys in the

156
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: regular season, but you know what, I want to see

157
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: more the best players healthy for the playoffs. And every

158
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: year we see this where it's like, oh, Chris Paul

159
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: goes down once again, and Kevin Durant's out and Kyrie

160
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: Irving's hurt. And sure we could say, well, they're always

161
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: hurting the playoffs. Yeah, well, it can't just be that

162
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: they're breaking down because it's April, May June.

163
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: They need to lessen the workload. That's the only theory.

164
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: When you're overused on anything, you got to scale it back.

165
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: And as much as I love Lebron in the regular season,

166
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: I'm okay with him, just play twenty nine minutes and

167
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: not overreacting to an October loss to the Nuggets. The

168
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: reality is, these guys need to be healthy for the playoffs. Yes,

169
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: the NBA needs a massive TV deal, and after this

170
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: year they can go back to not complaining about load

171
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: management because the networks I've already coughed up the money

172
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: and the ink is dry. Here's the reality. I don't

173
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: think they're gonna get the number they want anyway, even

174
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: if they try this whole non load management crap. Folks,

175
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 3: We're at the end of an era. The Lebron run

176
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: is ending. The Steph Curry run isn't over, but it's

177
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: close to the end. The Kevin Durant run doesn't have

178
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: much left in the next three years. I mean, Lebron

179
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: will be retired. I think it's safe to assume Kevin

180
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: Durant and Steph Curry will probably but be in their

181
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: final year. And then we're gonna be onto the next generation.

182
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: And you know what the problem is with the next generation,

183
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: And no, it's not that they don't play, it's that

184
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: they're not healthy or they're getting in trouble off the court.

185
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: Jah Moran Zion Williamson cannot stay healthy. Victor Wambanyama better

186
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 3: stay healthy. I'm more excited to Okay, so there's no

187
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: no football tonight, but I'm gonna I'll be clear with you, guys,

188
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 3: I am beyond stoked to watch Victor wembin Yama.

189
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: Is he a teenager of twenty I don't even know.

190
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: He's a young kid. And he is playing in his

191
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: NBA debut tonight against the Mavericks on ESPN. As luck

192
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: would have it, my daughter's soccer practice ends right at

193
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: the time this game's starting. I will be racing home.

194
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: And to get Luca and wembin Yama on the second

195
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: night of the season is just magical. I'm super excited

196
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: for it. I cannot tell you how much I'm excited

197
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: to watch wembin Yama. Like, listen, I like the Kings, folks.

198
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: Just for the record, I'm not betting any games. I'm sorry.

199
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: I'm still locked in on NFL. I'm not gonna betting

200
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: games right now. Sorry, NBA. As much as I love it,

201
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna betting games. Like I'm excited for Celtics,

202
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: Like sure, that's gonna be good. LaMelo ball yay, Like

203
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: it's about womenI alma, so I can't wait for that tonight. Anyways,

Speaker 3: think he knows everything when it comes to sports.

224
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,119
Speaker 2: I know what sports dance wants.

225
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: But for everything. He doesn't, he knows a guy who does.

226
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: Let's just say I know a guy who knows a

227
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: guy who knows another guy.

228
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's welcome into straight fire.

229
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: A guy you know if you follow any of college football,

230
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: Brett McMurphy. He's covered the sport for geez at least

231
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: two decades, probably longer, and he's currently at the Action Network,

232
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: does a lot of gambling, breaking news.

233
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: Brett McMurphy, how you doing, man.

234
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Good to catch up with you again, Jason. It's been

235
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: a while.

236
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: It has been a while, and there's a lot of

237
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: stuff happening in college football. So you know, I was

238
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: talking with Rob the producer. I'm like, who should we get.

239
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I gotta go back to Brett McMurphy.

240
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, yeah, that's a good one. Let's

241
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 3: just dive right in this Jim Harball sign stealing thing.

242
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: First.

243
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: I want your opinion on it, not.

244
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: Necessarily what you're hearing, just your thought thoughts on it

245
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: before we dig into you know, what other coaches are

246
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: saying and everything.

247
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: From what I'm hearing it, I don't think there's any

248
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: doubt that Michigan knew that this guy was obtaining information

249
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: from them. However, I will say, even if that's the case,

250
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: unless somebody at Michigan flips on Michigan, how is the

251
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: NCAA going to prove it. Yes, the guy bought tickets, Yeah,

252
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: the guy was at games, he held a video camera

253
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: and all that. That's great. But unless he admits to

254
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: the NCAAA, yeah I gave this information to Harbor, Jim

255
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Harbaugh knew about it, or Jim Harbaugh comes out and says, yeah,

256
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: I was complicit in this. Harbaugh's already put out a

257
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: statement said he has no knowledge of this. So ultimately,

258
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, we know how fast the NCAA moves on things.

259
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: Basically a glacier is faster. So probably by the time

260
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: the NCAA rules on this will probably be Harbaugh's second

261
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: year as the Bears coach. So it's kind I thought

262
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: you'd like that. It's going to generate headlines. There's going

263
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: to be a lot of you know, give them the

264
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: death penalty. It's like, give me a break. But yeah,

265
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: if you love Michigan, nothing to see here. Everybody does it.

266
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: It's driving seventy and fifty five. If you're an anti

267
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: Michigan fan, It's like, here's another example of Michigan skirting

268
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: the rules and the Big Ten the NCAA has to

269
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: step in and do something. And one last thing, Jason, Oh,

270
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: by the way, there, I don't see any way the

271
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: NCAA could like people are like, well, they should be

272
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: ineligible for the playoffs this year? Are you are you

273
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: kidding me? First, the Big Ten would never ever go

274
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: for that. Why because how many millions of dollars would

275
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: the conference lose? That ain't happening. And also, what makes

276
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: this tricky is, yes, technically it's against the NCAA rules,

277
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: there's really no penalty outlined on if you do break

278
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: this rule. So what is it vacer to win? You

279
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: lose some scholarships? I don't know. Look, it'll give us

280
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: plenty to talk about until it's resolved. But yeah, ultimately

281
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: I really don't think there will be significant penalties for Michigan.

282
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that sounds reasonable.

283
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: Now here's what I think is more interesting. So, Brett,

284
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: if everybody's doing this and it's not a huge deal,

285
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: why Michigan and why Harba who's coming after him?

286
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: And why there are some conspiracy theorists, not myself, but

287
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: they have floated this idea to me, this is I'm

288
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: not reporting this. You ask my opinion, I'm giving you

289
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: my opinion. Uh, who is Michigan pissed off? Recently the

290
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: NCAAA Michigan knocked down. They're four game suspension to three games.

291
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: You know, the NCAA put out a statement, this is

292
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: about more than a cheeseburger. This is more than about

293
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: more than a hamburg. The NCAA never comments about any

294
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: of this stuff. They commented about Harbaugh. So Harbaugh, some

295
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: people think embarrassed the NCAAA. So what's the NCAA gonna do. Well,

296
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: They're going to leak this information that they know, you

297
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: know it's going on, so it gets blasted by the media,

298
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: and then the fallout of all that. And you know,

299
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: if you're a Seinfeld fan like me, if you're not

300
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: well in this conversation, but if you're a Seinfeld fan

301
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: like me, you remember the episode where Jerry returns a

302
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: jacket for SPIKEE. I think the NCAA is doing this

303
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: for SPIKEE, despite Michigan, despite Harbaugh, because of their previous interactions.

304
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: And then you know, then everybody gives you their hot

305
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: takes on death penalty or nothing to see move along

306
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: and then we see where this sends up.

307
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: So I know that's just a conspiracy theory, but you

308
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: don't think this originated, would say a Michigan State trying

309
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: to deflect away from their really really ugly situation with

310
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: their coach, Ohio State Ryan Day, now has lost to

311
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: Michigan a couple of years in a row.

312
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: They'll get a little.

313
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: Dicey there for Ryan Day. You don't think this was

314
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: a big ten issue brought to the NCAA.

315
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Do you mean specific one of those teams. Yeah, I

316
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: mean that's that's a possibility, but yeah, that's basically what

317
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: I was. If one of those teams brought that to

318
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: the NCAAA, the NCAA's got that information and then they're like, hey,

319
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: let's leak this out to the media to make Michigan

320
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: look bad and then get the ball rolling on whatever

321
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: else would happen instead of instead of keeping the the

322
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: I guess if it is an investigation and investigation quiet

323
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: until they got to the point where they said, look,

324
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: we've got evidence, We're going to move along. This is

325
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. But instead, you know, now all

326
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: Michigan's dirty laundry is being aired, and probably nobody happier

327
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: about that than Big ten teams and the NCAAA.

328
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: It's just like the equivalent of like a purp walk,

329
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: where they, you know, the cops just want to hate.

330
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna make a show of it. We're gonna embarrass

331
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: the guy.

332
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna put him in cuffs, walk in with the

333
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: TV cameras and make them look bad. Do you think

334
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: this makes Harball look bad? Or are people just scoffing?

335
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: Jason, I, I I really believe this. If you are

336
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: a Michigan fan, Michigan is like, this is nothing. It

337
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: doesn't make them look bad. If you're a not non

338
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: Michigan fan, then absolutely, Oh here's another instance of Harbaugh.

339
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: You know. So yeah again, that's where That's where everything

340
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: is nowadays, you know, whether it's sports or any other

341
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, entertainment politics. If you if you are one side,

342
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: then you're gonna support that side until the better, better end,

343
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: and if you're not, you're not. So I don't necessarily

344
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: think it makes them look bad. You know. Matt Ruhle

345
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: had some great comments. The Nebraska coach Deon Sanders an

346
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: it about it. You know, I said, Look, if if

347
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: you tell me you're running a sweep, I still got

348
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: to stop it. You know, there's a reason coaches hold

349
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: up the clipboard in front of their in front of

350
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: their face. There's a reason you've got three different quarterbacks

351
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: signaling in plays. It's not just Michigan. But again, if

352
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: there is a rule and you break it, you still

353
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: broke the rule. If the speed limits and you're going

354
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: fifty five and everybody's going seventy, it's still a violation. Again,

355
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: it just depends on what side of the fence you're on.

356
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: So Michigan's been pretty dominant this year. Some people take

357
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 3: to the best team in the country. I have a

358
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 3: ticket on them from the summer to win the Natty.

359
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: That's the only team I bet one. What's your neighbas.

360
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: Uh, it's not great.

361
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: I actually have all my future tickets in a safe

362
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: and I don't look at them to the end of

363
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: the season. I'm nerdy like that. You don't want to

364
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 3: say it sounds very I can't believe.

365
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: I guarantee you it's two for one, which is probably

366
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: what they're at now plus two.

367
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah right now, well now they look good.

368
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: But I do want to ask Is this the kind

369
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: of distraction Brett that maybe messes up the good stuff

370
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: that is going on at Michigan. They just clobbered Sparti

371
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 3: forty nine nothing. JJ McCarthy looks great. Do you think

372
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 3: this could be a distraction for hardball and the Wolverines.

373
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. I think the opposite. It gets,

374
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, us against the world. Everybody's calling us out,

375
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: everybody's accusing us of all this. You know, we know

376
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: that we don't need this to win. We're the best

377
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: team in the country. And it'll know, Jason, I actually

378
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: think the opposite. I think they'll use it is fuel

379
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: because again, the elite teams, the Michigan, Ohio States, the Alabamas,

380
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: et cetera. They've got to come up with motivation because

381
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, ninety percent of the games they play they're

382
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: supposed to win. And you know human nature, you know,

383
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: I know you, I know you can ball. So you

384
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: go out and play some hoop. You know you're playing

385
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: an opponent that you're going to crush. Ah, you're kind

386
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: of going through the motions a little bit. You're going

387
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: to get somebody's that's tough. You're gonna raise your game

388
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, or try to at least, so I think

389
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: these guys, you know, kind of use the same thing.

390
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, why why else in the world would Ryan

391
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: Day call out lou Holtz, you know, to rally his team.

392
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: You know, look, lou Holtz doesn't believe in US. He's

393
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: calling our team soft. So yeah, I think Michigan will

394
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: use this to their advantage.

395
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 3: It's interesting you've made now made two comments about like

396
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 3: us against the world, Ohio State and Michigan. There's a

397
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: political feel to it, almost you're either with us or

398
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: you're against us. Do you think that there is something

399
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: to that where it's like, hey, guys, we'll create like

400
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan would create these fictitious scenarios. This guy talked

401
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: trash to me. I want to give him sixty even

402
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: though he might have said nothing. Do you think these

403
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 3: coaches are kind of using that as motivation? I never

404
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: thought of that as like a tactic, but maybe that's

405
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: a thing now in college football.

406
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely for college football, and since people can't view the

407
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: video of US, my favorite line is you're either with

408
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: us or you're against us. You know. Yeah, so Kirby

409
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: Smart Earlier this year, they're playing South Carolina. One of

410
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: the South Carolina kids had an innocent throwaway comment at

411
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: media day. He's asking about the toughest places to play

412
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: in the SEC, and he mentioned a couple of places.

413
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: He did not mention Georgia. God forbid, he didn't mention Georgia.

414
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: So they're getting ready to play Georgia that week, and

415
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart brings up, well, you know, he must not

416
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: think it's very tough to play here at Georgia. Hopefully

417
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: our fans will come and show up and prove him

418
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: wrong or whatever. It's like they're creating these narratives to

419
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: get these teams geared up, because you know, I think

420
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: more than certainly more than the NFL. I think college

421
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: games are decided obviously by talent, but motivation is such

422
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: a huge factor too. I mean, you just look this

423
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: past week. What happened to Washington after Oregon they almost

424
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: lost Arizona State. What happened to owe you in Texas

425
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: two weeks after they played They both barely survive. So

426
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot more roller coaster of emotions with college athletes.

427
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: So that's why these coaches are using every little tidbit

428
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: they can, every little true or you know, true or

429
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: perceived motivation to get their guys cranked up.

430
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: All right?

431
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: Last one on Michigan. You joked earlier about Harbor and

432
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: the Bear's job. You know, the NCAA is kind of

433
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: coming down on him. He's just dealing with his nonsense.

434
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: He's got a stacked class of guys who are going

435
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 3: to go to the NFL. I don't want to say

436
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 3: the Cupbod's gonna be bere but this is the year

437
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: if Michigan's gonna do it.

438
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: Do you think he leaves for the NFL?

439
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 3: And what would be your best guess at a job?

440
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, just not reporting speculation. I would would I

441
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, he would probably go. I think I'm

442
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: not alone in this. I think most people didn't think

443
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: that he would actually be at Michigan this long. And

444
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that it's this situation with the NCAA.

445
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: I just think it's more with the way the college

446
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: job is changing. You're dealing with nil headaches, the transfer portal.

447
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: You know, you're you know it used to be there

448
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: were limitations when you would recruit players, and now you

449
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: know it's basically open game twenty four to seven. I

450
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: know they've rolled back the transfer portal windows. But it's just,

451
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, there's literally no off time for college coaches

452
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: and you're dealing with a lot more headaches. Where the NFL,

453
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: you go and you coach football, and that's all you do.

454
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: You coach football. So I think, you know, because of

455
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: his past in the NFL, I just always even when

456
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: he got to Michigan, I thought he would eventually end

457
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: up in the NFL. And certainly if he go out

458
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: winning a national title, I mean, what a better way

459
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 1: to go out. You know. I've talked to some people

460
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: close to the program, and they think that if he

461
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: did do that, he certainly does not want to leave Michigan.

462
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: Bear.

463
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: He's not going to just like bolt in the dead

464
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: of the night and leave them with nothing there and

465
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: take his entire staff with him to the NFL. But

466
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: I think I think there could be a very real

467
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: scenario where Jim Harbass in the NFL next year and

468
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: then you know, takes a number of people with him,

469
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: but keeps a number of people there. I would think

470
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: probably if you gave Harbaugh truth serum, he probably wanted

471
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: his jay to be the next head coach there in Michigan,

472
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: if he did leave Jay Harbaugh, but we'll have to see.

473
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 3: The NFL season is going strong, and DraftKings Sportsbook is

474

477

479
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 3: take a close, close look at a big favorite this week,

480
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks. This is a mismatch against an Arizona

481
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: secondary that's horrendous. Seattle should have Metcalf and Lockett running wild.

482
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: I think Arizona's running out of gas. They are outscored

483
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: more than anyone else in the fourth quarter. They're getting

484
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: obliterated in second halfs I think Seattle rolls them.

485

Speaker 2: What are you hearing on Michigan State?

505
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 3: It was the urban Meyers silliness that was out there

506
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: for like three minutes, and I think everybody bat it

507
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: down pretty quickly. But first of all, is that even

508
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: a great job right now?

509
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: It's a great job because it's in the Big ten

510
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: and you're gonna make more money than ninety percent of

511
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: the coaches in the rest of the country. The challenge

512
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: is with Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA coming into the conference,

513
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: there's more bodies that you got to climb over to

514
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: get near the top. Plus you know Michigan and Ohio State,

515
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: Penn State. But yeah, there were people that there were

516
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: people that will want that job. I had heard, you know,

517
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: after the after he was officially that Tucker was officially fired,

518
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: that they were looking for somebody with with Michigan State

519
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 1: ties either coach there played there a number of people.

520
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: The exception of that was Mike Elko at at Duke

521
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: for the job. He's done there. I don't look Urban Meyer. Yeah,

522
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: I saw those reports. I just don't see it happening.

523
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening on that level. We all

524
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: know what's what Urban has in his passed Urban says

525
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: he's done coaching college. We'll see if he's telling the

526
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: truth this time. But yeah, I don't buy Urban.

527
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: Maero Michigan State and the last spicy Big ten one

528
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 3: is the Ryan Day perpetually on the hot seat this year. Yeah,

529
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 3: I still go back to that Notre Dame game. I

530
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: think it was a jet sweep forth down call in

531
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: the red zone. And I mean my phone lit up

532
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 3: with it. That's it, that's enough. I'm done with Ryan

533
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: Day from from Ohio State. Fans like they were done

534
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: and they get lucky in that win. But I don't know,

535
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: it just feels like he can't win there right now,

536
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: like for whatever whatever you could do, he's just not winning.

537
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 3: And that I mean like winning the fans over. But

538
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 3: I do think he's an interesting name for the NFL

539
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 3: given his offensive background. I know it hasn't looked awesome

540
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: this year with the young quarterback, But I don't know,

541
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: what do you think NFL?

542
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: Or do you think he stays?

543
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: You know, I think, you know, for him and guys

544
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 1: like him, I think it's a personal preference. You know,

545
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: you can you can make the money whether you're in

546
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: the college or the NFL. Yeah, it's gonna be a

547
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: little bit different, but not substantially different. But it's funny,

548
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, I chuckle when the guys on quote the

549
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: hot seat. He hasn't lost more than two games in

550
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: six seasons. He's got a winning percentage if you round

551
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: it up, ninety percent. So what has he done? He

552
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: hasn't won a national championship and he's lost You know

553
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: a couple of times recently to Michigan. You know, look,

554
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: let's say, fine, Ohio State gets the pitchforks and torches

555
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: and they're gonna run Ryan Day out of town. So Jason,

556
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: who are you gonna hire?

557
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

558
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: Not running about of town.

559
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: Well, it reminds me so who was the guy at

560
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: Georgia who won a lot but could never break through?

561
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 3: And then they're like, let's get him out, Let's get

562
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: him out. Meanwhile, they build a statue anywhere else if

563
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: you win as many games as that coach. I'm spacing

564
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: on his name, Mark Rick. And then they bring in

565
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: who was.

566
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: It, Mark Rick?

567
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: There you go, Mark Rick won a billion games at Georgia.

568
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: And then he goes to Miami, his alma mater, and

569
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: he actually does very well. And then yeah, I mean

570
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: obviously Kirby came in and did great. But yeah, it's just,

571
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,239
Speaker 1: you know, fans are so fickle. It's it's just, you know,

572
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: that's that's why we love college football.

573
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 3: I don't even know if there's any like former Ohio

574
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: State coaches Ryan Day. Isn't he a Chip Kelly guy

575
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: from like the northeast, right.

576
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: I believe if I remember correctly, they were together at

577
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. It's like New Hampshire, Yes, yes, yes, yeah, so,

578
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's got a lot of he's got that

579
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: NFL type of makeup. I think. I think Lincoln Riley

580
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: does too, you know, I know.

581
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 3: Well, Okay, let's pivot to Lincoln Riley struggling a little.

582
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the report struggling.

583
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 3: I mean, dude, he's ducking weekly interviews with a cold.

584
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: He's absoluted to Utah.

585
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, today's Today's what's today? Tuesday? He did not attend

586
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: practice today either, so he does have an illness, so

587
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: maybe he's Yeah, I don't know.

588
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 3: I hear COVID's going around out here in LA so

589
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: maybe I don't know.

590
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: How severe it is, but it you know, I'll give

591
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: in the bin for the doubt. However, a nice little

592
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: stat for folks that are not Lincoln Riley fans after

593
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: twenty two games Lincoln Riley seventeen and five.

594
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: I saw that.

595
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: Clay Helton after twenty two games, seventeen and five.

596
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

597
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: I think the biggest issue for USC fans is that

598
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: it seems like to everybody on the face of the earth,

599
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: they have issues defensively and they cannot figure it out

600
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: that for the you know, whatever the reason is. Obviously

601
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: Alex Grinch is the defensive coordinator, but you know, their

602
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: offense is off the charts. It's kind of similar to

603
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: how he was at Oklahoma, you know, coach a handful

604
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: of guys that either won or were finalists for the Heisman. Unbelievable,

605
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 1: but ultimately they'd get in the playoffs and they'd you know,

606
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: get in trouble with their defense. The only difference is

607
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten the playoffs because you know, they don't

608
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: qualify because of too many loss But it's almost it's

609
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: almost similar teams. So yeah, until they figure out the defense,

610
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna do. And and I

611
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: think seeing their struggles against Utah, I think that's a

612
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: it's not fair to say that's a preview of what

613
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: lies ahead, but I do think it is a glimpse

614
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: of maybe what's waiting for them in the Big Ten

615
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: when they play some of these more physical teams that

616
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: want to grind it out and do that similar to

617
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: what Utah does. And then you throw in the cold weather.

618
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: So that'll be fascinating to see when all those guys

619
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: move to the Big ten and how they fare when

620
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: they you know, they make the trips out East.

621
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 3: I don't want to crush Caleb Williams. Obviously he's got

622
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: an incredible resume. You know, heisman an awesome player. He's

623
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: gonna probably almost certainly be the number one pick I do.

624
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: But after that Notre Dame game, it just I was

625
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: reminded that, like, hey man, when he plays top tier competition,

626
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 3: it's not like the video game Caleb Williams that dominates,

627
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: you know, the lower region of the PAC twelve. And

628
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: then we saw it again against Utah. Now I know

629
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: he put up good numbers against Utah last year on

630
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: the road. For whatever reason, he's he's not amazing in

631
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 3: the big games against the biggest opponents, and again they

632
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: have no defense.

633
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: But Bruce, sorry, Brett, where are.

634
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: You on Caleb Williams and his like makeup heading into

635
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: the NFL? Like, is it a slam dunk that he's

636
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 3: going to be better than Drake May at the next level?

637
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: No? I mean, my god, nothing's a slam dunk, you know,

638
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: as far as success in the NFL. I mean, heck,

639
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: the Bears just had a kid, you know, when in

640
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: his in his first start that you know it was

641
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: D D seven or D eight or whatever, Division eight,

642
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: No D three. No, I don't think. I don't think

643
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: it's a slam dunk at all. I mean, you look

644
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: at the quarterbacks in the NFL and the makeup is

645
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: so different. I mean, you know, justin Field, CJ. Stroud,

646
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, these guys that were superstars in college and

647
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: then you get to the NFL and it's it's a

648
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: different game. And then you've you know, you've got somebody

649
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: like Brock Purdy who was a good but not a

650
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: great quarterback at Iowa State in the Big twelve, and

651
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: then you know, yeah, he threw some bad picks late

652
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: Monday night against the Vikings, but you know, people are like,

653
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: this guy could be the MVP. So yeah, Jason, it's

654
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: I think it's impossible to say this guy's definitely the

655
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: guy or that guy's definitely the guy, and he's certainly

656
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: NFL folks will say that, and then we'll find out

657
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: three or four years whether they're smart or not. I'll

658
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: be fascinated to see if if he finishes the year.

659
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: You know, I know Oocho made the tweet about he

660
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: should hang it up, and I disagree with that one

661
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: thousand percent, saying he's out of the playoff running, you

662
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: should you should shut it down prepare for the NFL.

663
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: And so, you know, being the smart s I am,

664
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: I tweeted out, there's one hundred and ten schools with

665
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: two losses, so they should shut down the rest of

666
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: the season because they have no shot at the playoff.

667
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: Can't do sarcasm on Twitter. But I hopefully, I hope

668
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't come to that. Hopefully he finishes out and

669
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: we see what happens. But you know, I do wonder

670
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: what how NFL teams will judge him if he decides

671
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: to shut it down. Will some teams dock him a

672
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: little bit because of basically saying I'm done.

673
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

674
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: Now, if memory serves Micah Parsons in the Colt, I

675
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: think it was a COVID year, just decided I'm not

676
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 3: playing sat out and it seemed at the time like, oh,

677
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 3: maybe that's not going to be viewed. Well, it hasn't

678
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: mattered at all. He's ridiculously talented, he's awesome player in

679
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 3: the NFL. But I'm trying to think, has there been

680
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: a quarterback who shut it down early.

681
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: Surely there's been one.

682
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's a ton of guys that skip the

683
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: bowl game. But skip the bowl game, yeah, I mean

684
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: that that obviously, that's kind And when we go to

685
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: twelve team you think it's bad. Now, when we go

686
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: to twelve team playoff next year, it's gonna, Yeah, it'll

687
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: be like a pandemic. I mean, you're gonna see all

688
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: these guys that are not in the playoff that opt

689
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: out of bowl games. I'm afraid, Jason. I can't think

690
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: of anybody off the top of my head. If so

691
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: it was more injury related. But I haven't heard of

692
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: any quarterback that basically decided not to finish the regular

693
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: season to prepare for the NFL if they were healthy.

694
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see him doing it. I mean he

695
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: would have to skip the UCLA game. Like I know,

696
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: a lot of college kids now don't care about their

697
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: legacy of college. It's about getting the getting the cheddar

698
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 3: in the NFL. But Brett, I mean, if he were

699
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 3: to skip the U c l A game, but I

700
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 3: don't want to risk injury.

701
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I don't know how that

702
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: would be.

703
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: Viewed among the Trojan like fraternity if you will, and

704
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't give a crap about that.

705
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's a great point. I mean, you don't

706
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: know who he's listening to. You know, he may have

707
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: advisors to say, you know, look, their last two games

708
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: at Oregon home against UCLA. You're gonna skip those games.

709
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: And you you just brought up some great points about

710
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: his his performance in big games. Excuse me, those are

711
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: two of the biggest games of the year. You know,

712
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: it's not going to impact where they go to the

713
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: playoffs or not. They're still technically alive to go to

714
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: win the Pac twelve title. So you're just gonna sit

715
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: out those games because you want to wait for the NFL. Yeah,

716
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think that necessarily would be

717
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: a good look.

718
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: All right, we could wrap up. Let me ask you

719
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 3: this some Brett rank. These pro prospects, not college quarterbacks.

720
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 3: Pro prospects. Who are current current college quarterbacks penis Quin, Viewers, Bo, Nicks,

721
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 3: and McCarthy.

722
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: The order you put him, Wow, Viewers Nick next one,

723
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: if yours is hell, If yours obviously yours has to

724
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: be healthy. Picks Pinix is going to be the one.

725
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be so much difference of

726
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: opinion just because he's not he's not unorthodox, but just

727
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: because I mean, you've seen him play. I mean it's funny.

728
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: I was talking at talking to another coach and I'm like,

729
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: you always see lefties and they had that sweet throwing

730
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: motion and they're like, yeah, except Pinix. And I know

731
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: Pinix throws like a jug machine. You know, he just

732
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: zips it out there. But obviously, you know, poor performance

733
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: against Arizona State. But yeah, I would I would rank him.

734
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: I would rank him in that order if I was a.

735
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: I wonder how like I think he's got the two

736
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: acls on one knee and he's gonna be I think

737
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 3: twenty three or twenty four.

738
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 2: Now, I know age is not a huge deal.

739
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a great point, which Shy didn't consider.

740
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking of, No, you're taking into age and

741
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: all that. That's an absolute, very valid point.

742
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 2: And that's yeah. I did a mock for Fox Sports

743
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: and all these people killed me.

744
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: Oh Penix, Penix, I'm like, you got to look at

745
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 3: the way the NFL does like the age matters. Again,

746
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 3: it's not the end all be all, but also the

747
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: two knee.

748
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: Surgeries and like, I don't know. Talk to me about

749
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 2: both mix real quickly. I'm sorry. I just don't love

750
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: it what I've seen.

751
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 3: Like, I think he's a solid quarterback, but he's like

752
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: a mid round pick to me, I don't know. I

753
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 3: don't see dynamic and like good to carry a team

754
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: to victory. I just don't see it.

755
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, do you.

756
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: If he plays all his games at home, he'd be

757
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: the number one pick overall because we have the home

758
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: Bonnicks and we have the road Bonicks.

759
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you.

760
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: Know, great kid. You know, look, I don't know where

761
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: he would go. But the biggest issue is the disparity

762
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: from him playing at home and on the road. I mean,

763
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: it's it's very it's pretty drastic. This year he's you know,

764
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: nineteen touchdowns only one interception. But yeah, earlier in his

765
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,120
