00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: it gets? Of course not, of course not. Its rhetorical question.

36
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: Of course it's not as good as it gets. It's

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: So I lead this hour, play the hit small man,

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: play the hits. One of our old bosses used to say,

42
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: you gotta play the hit small man. All right, we'll

43
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: play this. So our lead this hour is from South Florida,

44
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and that was where the Hippodrome was the stage for

45
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: the final act of the twenty twenty five season. Here

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: early in twenty twenty six, the champion was crowned. Woo

47
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: A hat and T shirt game. Oh man, a hat

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: and T shirt game. How exciting confetti. Every time I

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: see the confetti on the field, I think of a

50
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: buddy of mine who has media friends who sell the

51
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: confetti on eBay and make a lot of money. There

52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: are people I'm thinking this could be a big field

53
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: day here with the Indiana fans. More than that in

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: a minute. But Fernando Mendoza, the golden boy of college

55
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: football there leading the Indiana Hoosiers into the matchup against

56
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: Carson Beck, the grizzled six year veteran. Oh my god. Anyway,

57
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: then they were the Miami Hurricanes in their own stadium,

58
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: although it didn't seem like their own stadium, taking on

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the Indiana Hoosiers, the team from Indiana a seven and

60
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: a half point favorite on the Vegas line, as the

61
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: wise guys on the Stardust line like the Hoosiers to

62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: win by over a touchdown. You had Chris Fowler and

63
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: Herbie on the boob Tube. They had the call there.

64
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you watch the game or not,

65
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: maybe you're like, I don't like college for body. Okay,

66
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: take the stick out of here. It took us anyway,

67
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: we watched so you would not have to. And it

68
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: came down to the final seconds and it looked like

69
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: it would be a backbreaking touchdown drive by Carson Beck

70
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: leading the Hurricanes, matriculating the ball down the field in

71
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: the final seconds, needing a touchdown and an extra point to.

72
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 3: Win the game.

73
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: And then he did the thing you can't do at

74
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: the time.

75
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: You can't do it.

76
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he threw a pass that was picked off by

77
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: Jamari Sharp, defensive back for Indiana, and he's a Miami

78
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: guy Sharp and he gets the big play they'd seal

79
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: it for the Hoosiers. Picks off Carson back final seconds.

80
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: That is it one knee?

81
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: I guess two.

82
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: Knees and then the game was over. So Indiana did

83
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: not cover the spread. But they do squeeze by Miami.

84
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,559
Speaker 1: Life's not all about gambling. They squeezed by Miami twenty seven,

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: and they put the finishing touches on the rags to riches.

86
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: It'd be like if our friend Billy weed man hippie

87
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: won the lottery and you had sixty million dollars or

88
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: something like that. Indiana, who was desolate, disheveled, beaten and broken.

89
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: And now they stand atop the mountain as they get

90
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: it done and they win the national title. As the

91
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: kids say the Natty. They won the Natty.

92
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: So they win that.

93
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: So now they did it on a night when Fernando

94
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: Mendoza was not the Heisman version of Fernando Mendoz. You

95
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: won't know that because you don't want to spoil the store.

96
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: He went that good. He was not that good Fernando Mendoz.

97
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: I'll say it, and no one else will say. I'll

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: say it. He sucked for most of that game. In fact,

99
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: it looked like every other bad Indiana quarterback they've had

100
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: over the years. But it didn't matter. They won anyway.

101
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: He did have a touchdown run in the fourth quarter,

102
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: although finished with minus eight yards. Because of some decision

103
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: making issues there and coach Kurt Cignati getting it done,

104
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: he writes his name Signati into the record book.

105
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: There.

106
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: Indiana finishes sixteen and oh sixteen and oh the record

107
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: and they had those extra games because of the playoffs.

108
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: So the twelve team playoff extends their perfect season, and

109
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: we are told now that is a tie. They have

110
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: matched the all time record from the eighteen hundreds. Holy

111
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: crap on a cracker Batman, Yale in eighteen ninety four,

112
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: Yale in eighteen ninety four. They also had a sixteen

113
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: to zero season, So good jumping off point. That's the

114
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: story here, so let's get into it. The question for

115
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: the esteem panel, what are you going to remember about

116
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: the Indiana Hoosiers, a basketball school, running a table, running

117
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: the table, and winning college football's national championship against Miami.

118
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this. I got food truck, three bees,

119
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: and puffy sticker, and we will combine all all of

120
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make some

121
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: delicious kettle corn is what we're gonna make. So a

122
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: the question is not that difficult. The answer is even easier.

123
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: What are we gonna remember? The answer is simple here,

124
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: what are we gonna remember? We're gonna remember the panic,

125
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: the sheer, unadulterated panic, unfiltered panic, from the establishment of

126
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: college football. Okay, they knew that this was likely to happen,

127
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: Indiana's favorite But now that it's happened. Now, it's not.

128
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: It might happen, It could happen. It did happen. Welcome

129
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: to the twilight Zone. Do do Do Do Do do.

130
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: This is the boogeyman. This is the buggey man in

131
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: college football.

132
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: It is.

133
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: This is a come to Jesus moment for the establishment

134
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: in college football. As they look in the mirror when

135
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: they wake up later on Tuesday, they'll wake up and

136
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: they're not going to recognize their own face, Like, what

137
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: have we done? This was not supposed to happen. Why

138
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: did this happen? I don't understand. This is bizarro world,

139
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: is what this is?

140
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: Right?

141
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: This is cats walking dogs. This is spray cheese on

142
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: our charcuterie board, is what this is? Here Indiana holding

143
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: the national Championship trophy like they stole it from the

144
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: gift shop at the stadium. No, it's real, it's not.

145
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you can test it. It's real. They have

146
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: the trophy here. And this is a great example of

147
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: name image likeness, better known by its gangster name Nil

148
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: giving birth to Frankenstein. Make no mistake, the Indiana Hoosiers

149
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: are Frankenstein. The blue Bloods are furious their alumni is furious.

150
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: So we're talking about the usual suspects. Alabama, Ohio State, Noted, dom, SC, Michigan.

151
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: These programs did not lose the title. They lost exclusive rights.

152
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: Right is it supposed to be only certain people are

153
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: allowed at that event? You are not allowed there. You

154
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: cannot go behind the velvet ropes. What are you doing?

155
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: And Kirk Signetty did not build the death star at

156
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: in the end, this is not a death star situation.

157
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: He built a food truck. And that's really adding insult

158
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: to injury because the formula he laid it all out,

159
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: the blueprints laid out. Just have a couple of rich alumni.

160
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: Every school has a couple of rich alumni, right, every

161
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: university there's a couple of people that made it big

162
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: that went to that school. So all you have to

163
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: do is get them on board. And then you hire

164
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: a coach that is pretty good at you shopping, and

165
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: you give the grocery list out. You get the right tomatoes,

166
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: you got to pick the onions when they're perfect. The

167
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: garlic you don't want the bad garlic. You get all that,

168
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: no caviar, and no five star truffles. You don't need

169
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: the five star truffles here. You don't just ball players

170
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: who know the recipe. And that's the thing that's really

171
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: most mattering. Just say with the nil thing and all that. Okay, well,

172
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: the nil is one thing. However, if you look at

173
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: the Hoosiers, they were not bigger, stronger, and faster than

174
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: the teams they were beating in the College football Playoff.

175
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: They weren't.

176
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: They were sharper. You can say they outworked you in

177
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: some of these games, and they fought every inch and

178
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: that was enough to get it done. They're not gonna

179
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: win the measurables. They're not gonna win the measurables. The

180
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Indiana Hoosiers they win the championship ere and the appearly

181
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: they don't mind. It doesn't seem like they mind their together.

182
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: They got a nice trophy and they got t shirts

183
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: and hats and all that stuff, and the whole mind

184
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: and refusal the backup.

185
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: You gotta think.

186
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how old you are. I'm at the

187
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: age now. When I was a kid, I heard stories

188
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: about Indiana. I didn't see him on TV much because

189
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: in football basketball they were on TV all the time.

190
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: They got named Bobby Knight with a complete schmuck, but

191
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: a great coach and Indiana football. You'd see him every

192
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: once in a while and it was like a mistake,

193
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: like what are they? Why are they on TV? What

194
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: are they doing? You know? It was usually when they

195
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: played a really good team, the Big Ten, and then

196
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: they'd just get smoked. How bad was Indiana football? This

197
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: sums up Indiana football. They had this guy named Lee Corso.

198
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever happened to, but Lee Corso was

199
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: coaching at Indiana in the nineteen seventies. The program was

200
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: so horrific. How horrific was it? Thanks for asking? It

201
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: was so horrific that Lee Corso in the nineteen seventies,

202
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: once had Indiana had a seven to six lead over

203
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: Woody Hayes and Ohio State, the legendary Ohio State coach

204
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: Witoty Hayes, and Lee Corso stopped the game so the

205
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: Indiana players could take a fundo of the scoreboard because

206
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: they had a seven to six lead. Not so fast,

207
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: my friends, though, al as Lee would later say, because

208
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Indiana we end up losing that game by forty that day.

209
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 1: But they actually stopped the game. I think it was

210
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: like the second quarter because they had a seven to

211
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: six lead and they end up losing the game by

212
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: forty How great is that? And that team now, that

213
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: team is now the champions. They are the kings of

214
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: college football. And the establishment doesn't like which is likely

215
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: going to lead to Congress getting involved. I mean, the

216
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Congress is already we're going down that road. There's gonna

217
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: be government intervention and they're gonna set up the rules

218
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: to help out the power schools and to screw over

219
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: Indiana and schools like that. So if you're gonna do

220
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: something like this, you might as well get it. Does

221
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: Rutgers have any big alumni? Can we get Rutgers? We

222
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: need some of these directional schools to win the championship.

223
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: That'll really also upset people right now. Meanwhile, at hard

224
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Rock Stamp, you watch the game. Obviously the stadium was packed.

225
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: Just that's the Miami Hurricanes area. That's their stadium national

226
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: championship game. However, it was a majority Indiana crowd. The

227
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: Hoosier fans Hoo's your daddy, The Indiana Hoosiers packed the stadium.

228
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: So the question Indiana estimates had sixty sixty five percent

229
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: of the crowd in support of Indiana's football team at

230
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: the National Championship Game. Does that say more about Indiana's

231
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: fan base or the ability obviously to travel, or the

232
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: indifference by the Miami fans. So is this more about

233
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's in either or is it the Indiana

234
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: fans showing great resolve in traveling or is it more

235
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: about the indifference by Miami. So the arrow is pointing

236
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: directly at the you, at the you flashing neon, flashing neon.

237
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Nobody I've been Miami or with nobody lives in Miami

238
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: the three to zero five. Nobody lives there to go

239
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: to sporting events.

240
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: You don't. You live there to live.

241
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: Is what you do, right, It's the three Bees. When

242
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: you live in Miami, it's beaches, boats and bikinis. That's it,

243
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: the three Bee and that that's all you need. Obviously

244
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 1: it helps they don't have state income tax. It's reasonable

245
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: compared to like the People's Republic of California or something

246
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: like that. But you got sweat dripping when you live

247
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: in Miami in places that you didn't even know sweat

248
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: could get into crevices and things like that. But the

249
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: Hurricanes football is obviously optional programming. The fact that that

250
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: many people. I don't think there's that many Indiana people

251
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: living in Miami. I'm sure there's a fair amount. But

252
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: to fill the stadium up, there were planes filled with

253
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Hoosier fans making their way down there. And so and

254
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: the other thing is, if you the older you are,

255
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: as a Miami fan, like you've already eaten the cake,

256
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: depending on how old you are, and you've had it.

257
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: The Hurricane football used to be good. They used to

258
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: play in big games and win championships and all that stuff,

259
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: and so back in the glory days many years ago.

260
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: And so they've been there and done that, and they

261
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: got the blank blank from back back in the day,

262
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: and it's in the drawer. The replica rings are right

263
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: there next to the sunscreen.

264
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 5: So you have that.

265
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: And it's not it's not like the obviously is no passion.

266
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: It's apathy. That's the word. I mean, there's clearly some apathy,

267
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: even though Miami had been dormant for a long time

268
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: and now they're back to being one of the big

269
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: time players here. But this is a for Indiana. This

270
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: is a once in a generation. This is a glitch

271
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: in the matrix. This is a glitch in the sports

272
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: matrix for the Indiana Hoosiers to win the championship. You

273
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: don't miss that. You drop everything if you're living in

274
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: Indiana a thousand miles away, right, you cancel whatever you

275
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: got in the weddings. I don't care whatever it might be.

276
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: And for Indiana, their coach there, Kurt Signetti, and the

277
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: Hoosiers crawling out of the gutter. That's really what this is, right,

278
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Indiana was in the gutter and Signetti leading them out

279
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: and like the sewer monster holding the playbook Becoming of

280
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: Age movie.

281
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: They don't make.

282
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: Movies like that anymore because it's not a superhero movie,

283
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: so they.

284
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: Can't make it.

285
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: Back in the old days, they would have made a

286
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: movie like this. And first time I always hits trder.

287
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: You always remember your first right, That's what I heard.

288
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: So Miami fans they kind of shrug, so, yeah, that sucks.

289
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna go I'm gonna go lay on

290
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: the beach later today, I'll be okay. And Indiana fans

291
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: they emptied their wallet, gonna buy all the merch all

292
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: that stuff, and you know, put the tractor on the

293
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: side there at the farm and go watch these celebration. Now,

294
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: last word here. So the other part of this is

295
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: the NFL draft angle. The Raiders are on the clock

296
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: in a very awkward scene. Mark Mark Davis just seem anywhere.

297
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: It's just very odd.

298
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Seeing him in a college football game is bizarre. It's like, well,

299
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: who let him in? How'd he get it? He was

300
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: on the field the whole thing. So Raiders owner Mark Davis,

301
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: John Spytech, that's the sock puppet for Tom Brady, the boss.

302
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: By proxy. Brady was also there, and they were there,

303
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: all attendants in South Florida to watch Indiana quarterback and

304
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: possible number one overall pick, Fernando Mendoza do his thing.

305
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: And there he was out there playing quarterback. Indiana wins

306
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: the championship. He had a touchdown run. And so the

307
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: question did Fernando Mendoza did Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner,

308
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: did he lock himself in as the top pick in

309
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six college draft based on his performance

310
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: in the national title game? Did he lock himself in?

311
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: So I looked at it, I watched the game. I

312
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: was like, no way, Absolutely, Medoza look like he was

313
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: playing in a straight jacket for a good chunk of

314
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: this game. Now, Miami did take some liberties. The officials

315
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: showing some bias towards Miami allowed them to just in

316
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: modern football that was played like old school football. It's

317
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: like I'll just take some shots at the quarterback. We'll

318
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: look the other way. We're gonna look the other way.

319
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: That's it, Mendoza. They'll finished with one hundred and eighty

320
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: six yards, zero touchdowns, and a passer rating of a

321
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: little bit above eighty. That's it. That's not the stat

322
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: line of a number one overall pick.

323
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 5: It's not.

324
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: And that's like a guy auditioning for a backup job

325
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: for the CFL team in Edmonton is what that is here.

326
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: And the other problem is he didn't pass the eyeball test.

327
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 4: Just sa.

328
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: All the stats tell one thing, but the eyeball test.

329
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: And I'm never wrong with the eyeball test. It just

330
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: didn't didn't look. He failed the exam, didn't look, didn't

331
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: feel like a big time NFL quarterback prodigy right around

332
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: the mountain here, and he looks in this game, and

333
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: really the talent level was a fourth round pick. It's

334
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: a developmental quarterback. Fernando MENDOZI draft him in the fourth round,

335
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: give him a couple of years, see if you can

336
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: figure some stuff out. And that's it. And we live

337
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: in the age now where you overdraft the quarterback because

338
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: in this case, Fernando Mendoza is the flavor of the week.

339
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: He's got that puffy sticker flavor of the week on

340
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: the side of his helmet there, and so it's okay,

341
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: we gotta draft this guy because he's popular and flavor

342
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: of the week and all that stuff. He looked less

343
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: like a franchise savior against the you and more like

344
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: the col Golden Bear version. And that was originally headed

345
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: to a secret society at Yale. And that's he's playing chess.

346
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: The NFL is playing with claudiators in college Miami had

347
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: some big time fellows up front there and Tom Brady

348
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: this the other problem, Like tom Brady's sitting there in

349
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: his skinny suit, tom Brady in the owner's box, drooling

350
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 1: over this guy. It's unbelievable. In fact, tom Brady likely believes,

351
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: well what Mendoza. Listen, he was going to be part

352
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: of that Skull and Bones club at Yale if he

353
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: had not gone to and so he's.

354
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: Got all the intangibles and all this.

355
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, everything Tom Brady has touched since

356
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: he got to the Raiders has turned to dust. Everything

357
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: he picked, Gino Smith, he picked Pete Carroll. Gino threw

358
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: more picks than a bowling alley. Pete got canned faster

359
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: than a bad date and all that. And so Tom Brady,

360
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the way he's run the Raiders, he

361
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: could screw up a microwave TV dinner. He's that incompetent

362
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: as an NFL executive, Tom Brady, and it's so wild.

363
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: And Mark Davis, of course, he just wants to eat

364
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: the special at PF Changs. He doesn't really care. I'll

365
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: just have Tom Brady. I'll let him do what he

366
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: wants to do.

382
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: our lead this hour from Western New York. And if

383
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: you thought the Grim Reaper, Grim Reaper of coaches was done,

384
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: that the Grim Reaper had gone back, you know, you know,

385
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: like Santa Claus works one day a year and then

386
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: and then that's it, just on Christmas. Well, the Grim

387
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: Reaper of football coaches, they work a few days a year, normally.

388
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: January.

389
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 1: That's pretty much it. That's you're done. And yet here

390
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: we are past the midway point of January, and tada.

391
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: If you thought the Grim Reaper was done, you're wrong.

392
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: You're wrong. You're wrong.

393
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 6: You're wrong.

394
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: Another one bites the dust, and another one, and another one,

395
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: and another one and another one. If you did not hear,

396
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: perhaps not. Coach Sean McDermott has been poll axed, fired

397
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: by the team owner Terry Pagoula after a nine year

398
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: run in Western New York. The Bills have said bye

399
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: bye to their head coach. The Buffalo football team a

400
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: perennial contender. However, they found new and creative ways to

401
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: choke in the playoffs. There they did not reach a

402
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: super Bowl under Sean McDermott. Despite having teams that were

403
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: at times favored to get to the Super Bowl. They

404
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: found ways to screw it up so that the move

405
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: came two days two days after the game in Denver

406
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: where the Buffalo Bills did the thing you can't do

407
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: at the time. You can't do it there a couple

408
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: of times ended up losing. So a number of players

409
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: are beside themselves. They are bewildered, thunderstruck because of the

410
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: move to get rid of Sean McDermott. Fans also outraged

411
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: over this decision by the ownership there in Buffalo. That

412
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: is a good jumping off points to let us discuss

413
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: the question for the steam panel. Did coach Sean McDermott.

414
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: Did coach Sean McDermott get a raw deal in Buffalo?

415
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: Did he get a raw deal? So I've got flippers, hamburger, helper,

416
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: and cloverleaf intersection, and we will combine all of these

417
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make some chicken

418
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: Alfredo is what we're going to make. So, first of all,

419
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: to answer the question, was this a raw deal for

420
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, The answer is no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

421
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: no no, with an explanation point. In fact, he was

422
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: given a sweetheart deal. In most places, McDermott would have

423
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: been fired three years ago. He got three extra years

424
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: to prove he shouldn't have been coaching the last three

425
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: years Sean McDermott. And so no, the opposite of that,

426
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: this was a move that should have been made a

427
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: while ago. It had to be made now. It was inevitable.

428
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: Now that being said, I didn't think they would have

429
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: the balls to do it in Buffalo, so I'm surprised.

430
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: That they did.

431
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: And we did a Mallard monologue in a previous episode

432
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: of the show saying that, yeah, you should get rid

433
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: of this guy. Of course you should get rid of

434
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot. The twenty twenty five season, it turned out,

435
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: was indeed the last dance. That was it, And the

436
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: folding tables snapped in half. Bill's Mafia jumped on it,

437
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: and the table snapped in half, and that's it. You

438
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: can only jump through so many flaming tables. Okay, and

439
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: before you realize that you're stuck on like level thirteen,

440
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: but you want to get to level fifteen, but you're

441
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: stuck on level thirteen, Well, how do I get to

442
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: level fifteen? Now? We are skeptical. We are skeptical that

443
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: the Bills know what they're doing right, considering that they

444
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: gave this guy three extra years, three extra years Sean

445
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: McDermott got. And the reason that we didn't think this

446
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: was gonna happen is because foc fear of change, right,

447
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: fear of change, fear of the unknown. And the Bills

448
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: we were comfortable, right, They'd been bad for twenty years,

449
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: and so they were comfortable. The ten plus wins, playoffs,

450
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: snow Globe games on National TV, Chicken Wings in the air, everywhere,

451
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia, breaking furniture like it's a home improvement show

452
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: gone bad. All of that stuff. That's the Bills, that's

453
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: the essence of the Buffalo Bills and Sean McDermott coaching.

454
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: This team had built up a nice ranch house, a

455
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: nice ranch home Sean McDermott had built up, and it

456
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: was working. They were winning some games and all that stuff,

457
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: and it was wonderful and they were all excited and

458
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: it was great and.

459
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 7: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. However, what ended

460
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 7: up happening every January. Every January, the ending was the same.

461
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 7: It was four of the past five four of the

462
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 7: past five years. How has this thing ended for the

463
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 7: Buffalo Bills. Well, they've ended it in heartbreak fashion. And

464
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 7: so when you keep crashing out, when you get to

465
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 7: that level thirteen, you can't get past it. You don't

466
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 7: yell at the controller, you change the strategy. And so

467
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 7: McDermott they gave him another chance, and another one and

468
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 7: another one, and it didn't work out. So they could

469
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 7: ban his head against the wall and all that stuff.

470
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 7: They couldn't find the right cheat code, couldn't figure out

471
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 7: warp zone.

472
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: There was no warp zone for the Buffalo Bills. Here,

473
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: just more frostbite and oh my god, we suck again.

474
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: And at some point you stop mashing those buttons on

475
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: the remote control and you go to YouTube or the

476
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: dark web and you say, okay, we got to figure

477
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: something else out. And so that's what they're going to

478
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: do it now. The Bills job Prime rib the Bill's

479
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: job is prime. Rib, you've got the lunatic fan base,

480
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: check small town insanity.

481
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: You check that box.

482
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: You've got Josh Allen, who's got two more years of

483
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: athletic prime, so two more years of Josh Allen before

484
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: the slow decline. So you've got that. So that's all

485
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: good stuff, right. So you get those things and you're

486
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: looking around, you're like, okay, so you've got this kind

487
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: of set up, and where is this headed. So you've

488
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: got the job that's team that's contender, just already a contender,

489
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: we know that.

490
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: And so you go in there.

491
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: Whoever gets the Buffalo Bill's job. We'll talk about this

492
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: more as we go through this hour here, but whoever

493
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: gets that job, you're not rebuilding, right, and you should

494
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: never be rebaling. You're installing. Essentially, a booster seat is

495
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: what you're doing. You get a booster seat in there

496
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: and you floor it, pedal to the metal, and you

497
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: just go for it here. And we have seen that

498
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: this can work. It doesn't work all the time, it

499
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: has worked. The most famous example, Tony Dungee built the

500
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers into a really good team years ago

501
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: in Tampa and then couldn't get it done, and then

502
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: they brought in John Gruden who cashed the check that

503
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: was set up by Tony Dungee. So it's like HGTV

504
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: the Pigskin House Flippers addition, and so you go in

505
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: there and McDermott he turned he did do some flipping.

506
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: He turned the house, the outhouse into not quite a penthouse,

507
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: but it's like a level below the penthouse. So he

508
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: did that and he ran out of money, or in

509
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: this case, he ran out of time. Time is money,

510
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: So he ran out of time McDermott. And so someone

511
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: else will go in there, and if the Bills don't

512
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: screw this up, they will be the ones to hang

513
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: up the Lombardi trophy on the shelf. They'll put that

514
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: up in the house that McDermott built. Now. Secondly, so

515
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: now Buffalo is back on the market, they need to

516
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: hire a new coach. We know that they need a

517
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: new sideline jockey. So the question with the Bills out

518
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: shopping for someone to guide them on the sidelines. Here

519
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: for the first time in almost a decade, the Bills

520
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: are in the market for a head coach. Who do

521
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 1: you recommend? You are now the headhunter? You are now

522
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: the advisor, who do you recommend for the Buffalo job?

523
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: So this one is a no brainer. It's not that

524
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: difficult here if the Bills are serious and if they

525
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: really want to go for it here, and that's a

526
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: big if with the Buffalo Bills, it's a big if.

527
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: But if that's the case, you do whatever you have

528
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: to do, including handing over the keys to Niagara Falls,

529
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: to get Mike Tomlin. Hold my god, what you're talking about.

530
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: Tomvin didn't win it, Bitsbury, He's been bad for ten years.

531
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 1: Shut up.

532
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 5: You lose there.

533
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: That makes mine all right. The argument against Tomlin is

534
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: he didn't get it done for a while in Pittsburgh,

535
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: and all that I say for Geyzy, absolutely for Gezy.

536
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: The problem Tomlin had he had substandard rosters, inferior quarterbacks

537
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: and was able to make the playoffs most of the

538
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: time in Pittsburgh. If you give Mike Tomlin a legitimate

539
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: thorough bred quarterback and that team is going to punch

540
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: their ticket to the Promised Land there, it'll be like

541
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: muscle memory for Mike tom I'm telling you it's gonna

542
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: be like muscle memory. The standard is the standard that

543
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: fits that bull crap fits in Western New York like

544
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: thermal underwear in January, just fits, you need it, And

545
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: so that job the Buffalo Bill's job. Now I recommend

546
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. That's my unsolicited overnight device. But the Buffalo

547
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: Bill's job is a Hamburger helper job it is. It's

548
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: in terms of coaching, ready made contender right now, playoff team,

549
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: consistently big time quarterback. This is a just add water situation. Agree,

550
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: you're not in your head. Yes, it's a just add

551
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: water situation. Dinner is served, you've got the protein Josh Allen,

552
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: and you'd like to see him stop burning down the

553
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: kitchen with turnovers like he did against the Broncos and

554
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: all that. But the early chat chatter is not The

555
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: early chatter is not Mike Tomlin. The early chatter is

556
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: that the team from Buffalo is going to look to

557
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: pacify Josh Allen and hire Brian Dayball. He's the early favorite,

558
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: not Mike Tomlin, the human boomerang Brian day Ball there

559
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: who failed spectacularly with the Giants. But hey, for he's

560
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: a jolly goodfellow, which nobody can and why not buy

561
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: him a beer? Buy everyone beers? You pass the mashed potatoes, Grandma,

562
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: where you go the old boys club. That's the logic, right,

563
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: It's always the way you go. Default position. It's not

564
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: what you know. And this is not just football, this

565
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: is just life in general. It's not what you know,

566
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: it's who you know. And so not exactly great leadership,

567
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: it's not. It's more like, hey, I'm on LinkedIn, let

568
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: me see what they can find or I'm on Express

569
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: pros or whatever.

570
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 2: Now.

571
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: Either way, outside of replacing Andy read which that job

572
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: is not open at this point in Kansas City, no

573
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: word that that job will be open. So we're going

574
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: to assume the position that that is not happy, that

575
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: that job will not open up. So outside of that job,

576
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: the Andy Reid chiefs job, this is the job. This

577
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: is the job. Don't overthink it. I would advise to

578
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: not hire a friend. Don't hire a friend. You're not

579
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: running a bake sale here in Buffalo, you're not. I

580
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: just go ahead and hire tom Everyone says Tomlin's not

581
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: going to coach, he wants to take a year off.

582
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: Unless there's something that we don't know about that hasn't

583
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: been disclosed, Tomlin will be coaching again. So if Tomlin

584
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: planning on going back to coaching. By the time you

585
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: get back, this job is not gonna be open. So like,

586
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: come on, what are you doing?

587
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: Just do what it takes.

588
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: Everyone's got a price higher Tom all right now, final

589
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: thought as for the guy, As for the guy who

590
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: just got dumped, we know how this works in the

591
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: NFL too, with the recycling. The NFL ahead of their

592
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: time when it comes to recycling. So the question where

593
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: does former Bills coach Sean McDermott end up. Where does

594
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: McDermott end up? Well, McDermott is not unemployed. When I

595
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: think unemployed, I think, well, I don't have any money coming.

596
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: He's still getting paid by the Bills. He had time

597
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: left on his contract. He wasn't a lame duck coach

598
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: from what I understand. So I think of this in

599
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: the context that Sean McDermott is at the intersection, the

600
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: blinker is on, the blinker is on the station wagon

601
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: is idling the McDermott station wagon. The kids are in

602
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: the back, Ask Dad, where are we there yet? Where

603
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: we going? Dad?

604
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 5: Where we go?

605
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: Okay, calm down, shut up, kids, all right? So he

606
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: dropped a token. He dropped a token into the NFL

607
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: arcade and boom, the coaching mary go round, fired up,

608
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,479
Speaker 1: rounded and round and round, the big wooden horse brass pole,

609
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: up and down, the same song every coaching cycle, every

610
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: coaching cycle, the same song. And mcdermi's resume it says

611
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: one thing. It doesn't say I'm gonna win you a championship.

612
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: It says I will make you respectable where a capital

613
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: r right. And if you look at these terrible franchises

614
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: like the Raiders and the Browns and the Cardinals, these

615
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: teams and there are others that have jobs open. Although

616
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: it appears the Tennessee Titans have decided on another terrible coach,

617
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: Robert Salah. What you wonder why certain teams always end

618
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: up in the same spot, Well.

619
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 3: There you go.

620
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: Anyway, he would put you in the respectable category. And

621
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: so that's not a bad thing. In one man's track,

622
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: there's another man's treasure. It's it's always the way this

623
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: is in the NFL here and so it's the other

624
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: thing about mcdermoid is he's not he's not a TV guy.

625
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: He's got a really boring personality. He doesn't have much

626
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: of anything to offer other than coaching football. He's meeting potatoes.

627
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: There's no garnish. There, there's no razzle dazzle. He's not

628
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: gonna go off and do a Barstool Bros. Podcast and

629
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: play grab ass with the bros at Barstool.

630
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 3: He's not doing that.

631
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: That's not how he's wired. Okay, he's not gonna go

632
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: eat chicken wings and drink beer and do that while

633
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: doing some fugazi podcast. That's not gonna So he's just

634
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: one of these guys that rolls up his sleeves and

635
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: you got a sink that's leaking, he'll fix that. He'll

636
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: you get the thing over there that's not quite working

637
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: right on the on the door, he'll fix that as well.

638
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: And so the the option do you take a gap year?

639
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: Some people say, well, you take a gap year and

640
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: then you go back to the market and all that stuff,

641
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: and that would be a big mistake by Sean McDermott.

642
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: That's what the rich guys that can do TV do.

643
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: He's not that guy, as we said, he's not that

644
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: type of coach. He's not And so you don't do

645
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: the sabbatical. So he currently Sean mcdermomation. She's at the intersection.

646
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: This is a clover leaf intersection. He's at the clover

647
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: leaf intersection, Sean McDermott. So if you turn left, turn left.

648
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: If you turn left, you take a year off and

649
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: battery recharge. That's not what you should do. You should

650
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: not turn left. If you go straight, you grab one

651
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: of these flee infested jobs, like the Raiders, the Cardinals

652
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: or the Browns, and you go there.

653
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: That's like the roach motel. You go to one of

654
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 3: those teams.

655
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: Now, the other option at the clover Leaf intersection is

656
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: to turn ride, turn ride. You head to Jerry's world

657
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: where Cowboys' defensive coordinator. That job open up right now,

658
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: those hasn't hired anyone unless they hired some of the

659
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: last hour, so that job is open. So the defensive

660
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: coordinator job is open for the Dallas Cowboys. You go there.

661
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: If you're Sean McDermott, that would be the fallback. It's

662
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: not a full sabbatical because you're still coaching, but you

663
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: go to the Cowboys. Jerry turns on the circus music,

664
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: the spotlight. Jerry's barking like a carnival barker. There. He's

665
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: got the clown makeup on the whole thing. He's a

666
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: carnival huckster, and he tries to hype up your value

667
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And you do that for a year,

668
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: You go to the Cowboys for a year, and suddenly

669
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: mcdermot's back in the front of the line and you

670
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: can get one of these top jobs that will pop open.

671
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: Every year, seven to ten jobs open up. And of course,

672
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: the great thing about the coaching carousel, as you know,

673
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: the ride does not stop.

674
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 3: It does not.

675
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: You just got to pick the right horse. That's the problem.

676
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: You got to pick the right horse.

681
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 5: How about that to the third degree?

682
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is one big gets quick all right,

683
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: bo wait, there's more cool.

684
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 4: So, after the Bears lost to the Rams, Ben Johnson

685
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 4: was asked if he thought about going for two at

686
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 4: the end of regulation instead of taking his chances in overtime.

687
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 4: He said he thought about it, but played a factor

688
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 4: was that their goal to goat situations hadn't been very clean. Now, Ben,

689
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 4: obviously hindsight is twenty twenty. But do you think taking

690
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 4: chances in overtime was the right decision.

691
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: Well in hindsight, they lost, so it was.

692
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: But I would have done the same thing. You're at home.

693
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: Usually at home you go for overtime. If you're on

694
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: the road, you go for the win at the end

695
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: of regulation and all that stuff. But the way he's right,

696
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: the way the Bears were running those short yards plays,

697
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: they were not very successful. The Rams were more physical,

698
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: rather embarrassing, em masculating for Chicago Bears team. If the

699
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: Rams pushed them around, and wait till they pushed the

700
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: Seahawks around this weekend.

701
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's embarrassing. And next I would have done

702
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 3: the same thing he did.

703
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: Though.

704
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 4: Next, so, with bow Nick's going down, the Broncos have

705
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 4: Jared Stidham heading into the FC champion Champion I.

706
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: Heard about that.

707
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, congratulations Coopie Ye.

708
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: My joy was short lived.

709
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 4: But anyway, So with that being said, a lot of

710
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 4: people are speculating, or maybe not speculating, but saying the

711
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 4: Broncos should maybe look at Bryan Tannehill.

712
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: Some people even throwing out Drew Breeze. Sure, why not?

713
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ben, do you think they should sign somebody like

714
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 4: that or just take their chances with Jared Stidham.

715
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: No, here's what I would do if I was Sean Payton.

716
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: I would run the ball eighty times. I would throw

717
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: the ball maybe ten times tops, and try to play

718
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: hide the quarterback and hope that this and the Patriots

719
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: have not that they've been sloppy with the football too.

720
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: So if you just run the ball, don't turn the

721
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: ball over, don't commit a lot of penalties, there is

722
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: a path to winning without your starting quarterback. You're gonna

723
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: need some help from the defense, and Drake may turning

724
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: the ball over. So but I wouldn't sign those guys.

725
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: That's a recipe for disaster. Next, they might be getting JK.

726
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: Dobbins back too, so it's not a bad idea.

727
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 4: Okay, Next we have over Over the weekend, it was

728
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 4: reported that, you know, despite a lot of talk about

729
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 4: John Morant going to the Heat, it was reported that's

730
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 4: a little bit overblown and that league.

731
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 3: Wide interest in John Rant is a tepid ben Does

732
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 3: that surprise you.

733
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: No, he's got a big contract, he's got a bad attitude,

734
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: he's a loser as a player, he's not a winner,

735
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: and so those are all things teams try to overlook. However,

736
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: he is box office, and there are teams that have

737
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: no stars, starless NBA teams, And if you're an owner

738
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: of a starless NBA team, you need a star player

739
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: to sell tickets in that business. John Morant does qualify

740
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: as a star player. It's exciting to watch, but he's

741
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: made a lot of interesting choices, so I think that's

742
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: bull crap.

743
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 3: If if the Grizzlies want to trade him, he'll end.

744
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: Up getting traded and likely end up on the Miami Heat.

745
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: By what Valentine's Day?

746
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:54,160

Speaker 1: It is mallor to the third degree?

748

00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: but not a Houston Texan because they froze when they

762
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 1: played the Patriots over the weekends.
