1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: We were talking about the rash of ACL injuries this year,

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: led by Michaeh Parsons and Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes got hurt

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: that was contact in the Chargers game, Michaeh Parsons non

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 2: contact injury. And yesterday the NFL said that they announced

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: they're going to have a study to look at turf

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: and these are new rules or at least a new policy,

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: a new approach to this. And people, I think were

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: surprised at the number of torn acls so far this year.

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: Thirty so far. Now, that seems like a lot, And

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: the reason why it seems like a lot is because

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: there's some big names in here. In twenty twenty four

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: there were thirty eight torn acls, twenty twenty three, forty three,

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two point fifty one, twenty twenty one, fifty seven,

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty forty two. You can go back to twenty

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: thirteen there were sixty three torn acls. So it seems

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: like we're trending down. But why can't we come up

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: with universal fields that can prevent at least the non

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: contact injury. So we bring in the head coach of

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: the Chargers, Jim Harbaugh. Those numbers alarming to you, surprising

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: to you. Anything we can do to improve those number

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: of a c ls, Yeah, I mean that.

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: That discussion has been going on for a long time

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: with the UH with the turf and they and they

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: they're very scientific about it. Uh you know my understanding

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,279
Speaker 3: almost like you know, stint meters in UH in golf.

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: But those numbers to me, I mean, it's it, Uh,

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: it's like one a year, you know. That's it's kind

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 3: of my my recollection from UH, you know, from coaching

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: all these years and and UH and playing as well

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: as about UH, one guy and the team will get

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 3: an a c L. And there was a day where that, uh,

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: that a c L would be career ending. You know,

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: think back then. Yeah, you know Gail Sayers and UH

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: and now UH you know it's UH advancements in UH

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: in safety and medical UH, you know, UH are are

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: really incredible and getting getting better all the time.

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: But when you were at Michigan, all of your linemen

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: had to wear braces, knee braces.

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: Yes, that was that was.

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: And how preventative is that? I know, Jake Buds got

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: hurt and Blake Krum you know, got hurt as well.

44
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: Those are contact But did it Is it that helpful

45
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: in preventing a c LS?

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: I thought so, I really did, Dan.

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: Uh, the the running backs, tight ends didn't didn't wear them,

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: but we had the defensive linemen wearing uh knee braces

49
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: in practice. Uh and that would Uh it doesn't prevent

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: prevent like a but whatever injury it would have been,

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: it makes it a lot less in in my experience,

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: and uh and uh trainers in the medical experts.

53
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: What was different about the Chiefs this year as opposed

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: to previous years.

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: Oh, there's there's it's just the most the most historic, incredible. Uh.

56
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: You know job that that team has done year in

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: year out. Andy Reid, Uh, you know the best, he's

58
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: the best.

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: Uh. Patrick Mahomes incredible competitor.

60
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: And UH that was I was talking to one of

61
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: our our assistant coaches yesterday.

62
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: And if we can just do half, we could just.

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: Do half of what they they've been able to accomplish

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: over the last seven years.

65
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: You know, we I do it. I know I would

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: do a cartwheel.

67
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: But what what's the game plan of of Mahomes? He

68
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: seems like he's running a lot more. He had been

69
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: running a lot more than in previous years and had

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: been their most dangerous runner. But as a defensive philosophy,

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: what was it going into this game?

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: There?

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: There there's adversity in the offensive line. Uh, different combinations,

74
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: different different you know, really good players out. But uh

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: they uh guy stepped in and uh they were chiefs

76
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: are still operating at a at.

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 4: A very high level. And I was, I mean, I

78
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 4: was for the competitor that Patrick is.

79
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 3: I mean that was was just hope and praying that

80
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: that he would have dodged a bullet, and uh, you know,

81
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: unfortunately he didn't.

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: But uh, he's he's already, you.

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: Know, getting ready for surgery, and you just just know

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: his mindset it's going to be it's gonna be surgery

85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: and then and then rehab.

86
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: He's just he just he's he just he just wants to.

87
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: Be doing And so that's uh, really we're trying to

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: replicate that here and in Los Angeles, and uh.

89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: What are you trying to force him out of the pocket,

90
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: because he loves to go, right, But I you know,

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: it's it's easier said than done that we don't want

92
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: let him go outside the pocket.

93
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes, Yeah.

94
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Oh, uh, you know you try to contain him, you

95
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: really do that.

96
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: Uh.

97
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: The the discipline in the in the rush lanes you

98
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: gotta have. It's got to be coordinated with with all

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: five or four or six or seven rushers. Uh, you know,

100
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: every single play, and he's still and he still finds

101
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: ways to uh you know, to make the impossible possible.

102
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: But uh, it's Tuesday. It's uh it's our feet are moving.

103
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: We're up, and we're gonna keep it moving because uh

104
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: we got Dallas this year this week, and uh, I

105
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: really think they're the They're the best offense we've played

106
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: in a while.

107
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: Uh, really good receivers, really good quarterback.

108
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: Uh, very good upfront, and uh running game that we're

109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 3: gonna try to figure out how to stop as well.

110
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: Talking about that, Jim Harbaugh, Chargers head coach, you coach

111
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: any differently in December than you do in September?

112
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: That's a great question. You know they all count the same,

113
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: you know they count the same, but uh, yeah, it's different.

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: It's almost it's like the fourth quarter in.

115
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: A in a game, you know, and then you know,

116
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: you get down to the to the end and.

117
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: It's you know then it's it's like.

118
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 3: Like the two minute drill, you know, in the in

119
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: the in the playoffs, or you know, trying to get

120
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: into the playoffs. But everybody, everybody is fighting for their lives.

121
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: Everybody's fighting, you know, really for their their playoff destiny.

122
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: And and that's and the and the and the teams

123
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 3: that aren't don't have a chance to be in the playoffs,

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: they're fighting at the at.

125
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: The highest level.

126
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, for pride and for for for their

127
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: team and for their for their their organizations. It's it's

128
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: that competitive season. Tis the season for competition.

129
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: How much does it help playing the position as a

130
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: head coach, helping Justin Herbert play the position.

131
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: I've been asked that a bunch of times, and I

132
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: don't have a great answer for that, because he is

133
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: just so much better at everything, uh every every part

134
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: of the game.

135
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: Uh Is there anything you do better than or did

136
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: better than Justin Herbert?

137
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: There's nothing.

138
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: There's nothing to nothing, And I don't want to demonstrate anything.

139
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just not gonna it's not gonna look right.

140
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: Uh So I just uh, you know, really really focus

141
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: on uh, you know, number one, protecting him and but

142
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: it's just yeah, a tremendous blessing to have him, Derwin James, Justin,

143
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: Herbert Khalil Mack. Uh the absolute best leaders I've ever

144
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: been and playmakers leaders and playmakers.

145
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: Uh, but that that I've ever been associated with.

146
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: You said you were still processing the Sharone Moore situation.

147
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: What are you processing? What are what? What is going

148
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: through your head or trying to understand?

149
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's uh really still and still don't have

150
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: my head wrapped around it.

151
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: Dan, Uh, It's.

152
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah it Uh, it's a tragedy and just praying for

153
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: all concerned. I love my alma mater, love Michigan, and

154
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: but I love the Chargers too. And Uh, I'd been

155
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: doing disservice if I wasn't putting all my focus on

156
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: the on this game.

157
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: This is the most important game for us.

158
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,280

171
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: No, I'm not all focuses on Uh the Dallas Cowboys.

172
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, congrats on the win, and uh, good luck against

173
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: Dallas and then you host Houston, then you're at Denver.

174
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: Who's the best team you face? You talked about Dallas

175
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: will be the best offense. Who's the best team?

176
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: So we played definitely uh that we played in a while, you.

177
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: Know, right the team that you know stands out, Uh,

178
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: you know the ones that that uh.

179
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: That got the best of us.

180
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: But these last two games, chiefs uh Eagles, I mean

181
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: football at uh, you know, at at the highest level.

182
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: You know, that's been and I think it's I think

183
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: it's I think it's made us keener and sharper and

184
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: finer too to go through those two games.

185
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 4: And uh, and we expect the same challenge this week.

186
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 2: Do you want to play in the snow?

187
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: I prefer the.

188
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: Snow then uh, then thirty five or thirty three in rain?

189
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: So uh, as soon as soon as the temperature goes

190
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: below thirty. Uh, I know it's not gonna rain, and

191
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: uh I prefer that.

192
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: Uh, but you look at the doll like the dolphins

193
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: don't win games under forty degrees? Like what how does

194
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: that imp Like? There are guys that aren't from Miami,

195
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: but you know they don't win in cold weather? Why

196
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: is that?

197
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 4: Uh? That's that that's Ah, that's something I can't. I can't.

198
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: I am kind of an expert at uh growing up

199
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: in uh the Midwest and.

200
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 4: And Michigan, Ohio, chicage playing in Chicago.

201
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, it's it's really a function of like

202
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: my dad used to tell us when we were kids.

203
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: He'd say, you you you, you know, get out of

204
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: the house, Dan, it's cold out there. Get your feet

205
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: moving and keep it moving. You'd walk out, and then

206
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: then the click of the door would click behind you.

207
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: Uh wait they locked the door.

208
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, you hear the click.

209
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: Okay, we're our feet moving and keep it moving. But

210
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 3: it's that's that's that's the secret. That's the answer. The

211
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: the you become your body becomes like a human hot

212
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 3: tub because your your your heart is pumping warm, hot blood,

213
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: especially when you're young, and you know that goes from

214
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 3: the the heart to the arteries too, to the capitillaries,

215
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: to the to the tissue, and it's you know, the

216
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: more muscle you got, that's the more UH. That's the

217
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 3: more UH insulation that you have. High school anatomy tell

218
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: it goes back back to the lungs and reaction to

219
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 3: eights and it just keeps keeps falling like so you

220
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: just you just keep moving. And then when you're not playing,

221
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 3: you go to the go to the sidelinket by that

222
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: that heater in that warm bench.

223
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: Who had it better than you did in cold weather?

224
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 4: I mean a lot of experience there, nobody.

225
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: Dan, There you go, there you go.

226
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: I know the answer to that one.

227

245
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: Oh, we've been celebrating all night long. The Knicks won

246
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: the Cup. Todd's got his nixt gear on. The Knicks

247
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: win the Cup and they beat the Spurs. No word

248
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: on the parade in New York City, And when the

249
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: banner will be raised? I do have a question, though,

250
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: like an honest, legitimate question. Will the Knicks raise a

251
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: cup banner? Did the other teams? Did the Lakers didn't?

252
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: I think we had Barkley on and I and Barkley

253
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: was saying they better not raise a banner, did they? Marvin?

254
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 6: Yes, I think they have a small banner, so the

255
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 6: Knicks should do it.

256
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, they haven't had any banners go up there in

257
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: a long long time.

258
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 7: Yes, time, I think you raise a cup like at

259
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 7: a staff dinner to celebrate with Jeff Bayn and that's

260
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 7: the cup you raised, but not an actual thing hanging

261
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 7: from the rafters.

262
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: I think the Nicks will probably raise a banner, but

263
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: the Lakers did raise a banner. Huh yeah, Paul.

264
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, confirmed twenty twenty three. Never forget Lakers embrace in

265
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 8: season tournament with banner ceremony. It's not the biggest banner,

266
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 8: but it's a very becoming okay becoming.

267
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: It's gorgeous.

268
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 8: It's like black and gold.

269
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: Okay, well purple the Emirates, Yeah yeah, but they did win.

270
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 4: Now.

271
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: I know we've joked about the cup most of the morning,

272
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: having fun with it. But this is what will be

273
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: lost on people, I think, and that is focusing on

274
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: the Spurs because they need to play in meaningful games.

275
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: That's a very young roster and I think this is

276
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: something that can help them later on this season. I

277
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: don't think that they're a threat to win the NBA Finals,

278
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: but get in the playoffs and play with some meaningful games.

279
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: You know Von Castle who played well, Wemby's coming off

280
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: the bench, they got Dylan Harper, like, they have some

281
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: pieces there, but they're young and they need to play

282
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: in meaningful games, and this is as close as they'll

283
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: play in meaningful games.

284
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 4: Now.

285
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: They did beat the Thunder the other night, and you

286
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: know that caught people's attention. Here. Now all of a sudden,

287
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: you look at them and they're not the one of

288
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: these years, they're going to be a pretty good team.

289
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: They might be ahead of schedule here. And that's what

290
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: I was taking away from this game. You're playing for something.

291
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: You're playing for a cup, but you're playing for money

292
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: as well, for you know, the guys on your team

293
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: that don't make a lot of money, and that can

294
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: be impactful. The spotlight a little brighter there and maybe

295
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: the Spurs pick up some much needed experience that can

296
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: help them down the road. Pay.

297
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 8: So you're saying the three four years from now when

298
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 8: they're in front of the Pooh this year, when Ben

299
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 8: Yama is holding the NBA title and he's like, how

300
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 8: did this all start? You know it was all went

301
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 8: back to the up that lost.

302
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: The Knicks lit the fire. See once again, you're mocking this.

303
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: You're doing a lot of mocking. Sure not the Spurs

304
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: side of this. The Knicks, I am yeah. Go New York, Go,

305
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: New York, Go right, Todd.

306
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 9: Go New York, O, New York.

307
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: Were the Knicks that we're doing it?

308
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 7: The Kicks whitting three pointers and you're putting up bricks.

Speaker 2: another gift package here just in time for the holidays.

321
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: So I went out in the kitchen and all of

322
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: a sudden, I see that must be bacon wrapped filet mignon.

323
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: We got Ribbi Steak, Pannini's pork Shop, millionnaires and cream corn.

324
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: Who is better than the Knicks? Are jealous? Man? That's

325
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 2: a victory celebration right there. But meet Friday courtesy of

326
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: our partners from Heartland Steak CEO. You go to the

Speaker 2: website Heartland steakco dot com and you can get some

328
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: great gift ideas for the holidays.

329
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 8: Yes, Paul, yeah, I want to go back to the

330
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 8: Knicks for a second. I was looking at the standings.

331
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 8: They're eighteen and seven, but they've outscored their opponents by

332
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 8: nine points a game. That's the best in the East

333
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 8: this year. Detroit is young, the Raptors are good ish,

334
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 8: the Celtics are injured. In the recent twenty years. This

335
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 8: might be their best chance to make the finals. Oh yeah, yeah,

336
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 8: absolutely yeah.

337
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: All previous teams to reach the NBA Cup Championship Game,

338
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: the Lakers, Pacers, Bucks, Thunder, they all qualified for the

339
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs. In each of the previous two seasons. The

340
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: team that lost the Cup Championship game advanced further in

341
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: the postseason than the team that won the Cup. So

342
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 2: whoa shadow the Day brought to you by Benani America.

343
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, they had nothing left after they won the Cup.

344
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 6: They spent exhausted.

345
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 2: See, you guys are mocking. I'm trying to look at

346
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: the positive here. I don't want the commissioner mad at me.

347
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: It seems like he's upset with everybody but Amazon Prime

348
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 2: carrying this. He had this to say last.

349
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 10: Night, as a fan, I think you do a great

350
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 10: job educating you know, other fans about the game, because that,

351
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 10: I would say has frustrated me in the past about

352
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 10: some coverage when it's sort of reduced to one side

353
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 10: wanted it more, this side played harder, and when you

354
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 10: guys are explaining like why can't a guy get a

355
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 10: shot off? Why is a particular defense working? And when

356
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 10: you go and when you guys go out on the

357
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 10: floor and demonstrate things I can say as a fan,

358
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 10: I love that part of the coverage.

359
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: I think he's taking a shot at Charles Barkley. I

360
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: don't like it because Charles said it was I think stupid.

361
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: Maybe that was the word he used, Yes, eaton.

362
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 11: Well, Charles isn't necessarily wrong, except the only problem with

363
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 11: it is there's nothing unique about the in season tournament.

364
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 2: Oh oh wait a minute, I got Charles called it embarrassing,

365
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: not stupid.

366
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 11: Okay, yeah, well I don't know if it's embarrassing, but

367
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 11: they the idea is correct. The infrastructure in order to

368
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 11: accomplish the idea is incorrect. Okay, tweaks would you have

369
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 11: with this? Well, this is basically taking like a page

370
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 11: from soccer. Soccer has all of these in season to ornaments,

371
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 11: right like in England they have the FA Cup that

372
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 11: they have the Carabout Cup. Those are different. One of

373
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 11: them it's every team within the pyramid plays against each other,

374
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 11: so it's special. Another one it's only like the top

375
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 11: four or five leagues they play against each other, so

376
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 11: it's special.

377
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: This is an NBA.

378
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 11: Tournament of NBA teams playing other NBA teams in the

379
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 11: NBA season. There's nothing unique about it whatsoever. If you

380
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 11: had G League teams in there, and you had some

381
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 11: D one teams or something and be like, whoa, this

382
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 11: is special. This is really something. Now we got something.

383
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 11: But we don't have that. In the United States, we

384
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 11: have the US Open Cup. That's basically every soccer league

385
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 11: in the country for the most part, all get together

386
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 11: and play in this one cup.

387
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: The USL Cup is every USL.

388
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 11: League playing against each other, or most of the USL

389
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 11: leagues playing against each other. There's not if it was

390
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 11: just the MLS Cup and it was only MLS teams

391
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 11: playing against each other. Then that would just be called

392
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 11: the regular season. There's nothing about it. This is all

393
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 11: just a regular season. You need to get something else,

394
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 11: get put European teams in there or something. You need

395
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 11: to make it different. Yeah, Paul, Yeah, I totally agree

396
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 11: with Seeden. It feels like forced relevance. It's somewhat early

397
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 11: in the season. If you didn't change the color of

398
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 11: the courts, you would think it's a generally just a

399
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 11: regular season game. Almost all the games also count in

400
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 11: the regular seasons standings, so they're like double dipping at

401
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 11: the final felt a bit special because we're told it was.

402
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt like we're force fed, Like, what's wrong

403
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 2: with you? Don't you understand you should be really hyping

404
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: this up. We haven't been hyping it up. I don't

405
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: even know if I mentioned who was in the finals yesterday.

406
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 11: Yes, it should mean something because, like you know, if

407
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 11: there's a trophy at stake, then you should want to

408
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 11: win it, so let's go win it. There's just nothing

409
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 11: unique about it other than grouping together some games and

410
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 11: then calling it a competition.

411
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: Chase Daniel from the Mothership he'll join us coming up

412
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: at about ten minutes Robert Griffin Junior the third. A

413
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: little later on, Reggie Miller stops by. Tony Gonzalez will

414
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: join us as well. You have Davante Adams if he

415
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: for Thursday, and it felt like this was going to

416
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 2: be a game time decision. That's what Sean McVay said.

417
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: The commanders have shut down Jade and Daniels, and they

418
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: know what they have in Jayden Daniels, and you know

419
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: he's getting banged up. I don't think anybody's surprised that

420
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 2: with that build, was he going to get banged up?

421
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: And the answer is yes. Meanwhile, Jackson Dart will continue

422
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: to play for the Giants because they don't know what

423
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: they have in Jackson Dart. And I don't know, and

424
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: I want to talk to RG three and even Chase Daniel.

425
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can ask somebody to change.

426
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: I never understood this philosophy with NFL teams. If you're

427
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: really successful in college and you run the ball and

428
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: you also pass, but you know one of your strengths

429
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: is you run the ball. Because Lamar Jackson did that

430
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: at Louisville and then wondered, well can he throw the football?

431
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 2: He's got to learn how to play in the pocket. Well, yes,

432
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: but I don't want him to stop running. Cam Newton,

433
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: I don't want him to stop running. I want them

434
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: to run smartly. And you're gonna ask Jackson Dart can

435
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: you change? And you know these guys go by instinct

436
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: that you know, they're just like a natural reaction time

437
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: with something you can't go wait, wait what am I

438
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: supposed to do? Now? You would think slider, get out

439
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: of bounds. You should be able to think on your feet.

440
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 2: And I don't know if Jackson Dart wants to change.

441
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: I don't know if he can change because this is

442
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: his whole mindset. This is an aggressive football player who

443
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: plays a position where you normally don't have aggression. Josh

444
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 2: Allen is as big as anybody on the football field.

445
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: I don't worry about him, but he also slides. He

446
00:23:54,119 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 2: also plays smarter than he used to. Mahomes, you know

447
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: he's on the move, but I think because he has

448
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 2: to be on the move, And then you wonder is

449
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: he going to be using his legs able to use

450
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: his legs when he comes back from this surgery. I

451
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: don't want you know. Kyler Murray is who he is,

452
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: but I don't want him to change his style. I

453
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: want him to change his approach. But I can't say

454
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: to Kyler Murray, don't use your legs or Josh Allen,

455
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: don't use your legs. Lamar Jackson, don't use your legs.

456
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: This is what made you great, this is why we

457
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: took you with a you know, high draft pick. And

458
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: with Jackson Dart, I don't know if you can say

459
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: to him, we love the aggression, but let's live to

460
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: you know, have another play because you can't be in

461
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: concussion protocol. And what's he played ten games and I

462
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 2: think five times they've had him in the blue tent.

463
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: You know, that's a habit. That's the problem I have

464
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 2: with Jackson Dart. You can play with aggression, you can,

465
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: you know, you can have that energy there, but do

466
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: not take on defensive players. You know, if it means

467
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: the Super Bowls on the line and you're going to

468
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: dive into the end zone John Elway doing the helicopter Okay,

469
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: I mean even go back to Carson Wentz in that

470
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: game against the Rams. Did he need to dive into

471
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: the end zone and then get his knee blown out? No?

472
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: So you're asking these guys, hey, I used to do that,

473
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: or I did that in high school, I did that

474
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 2: in college. Why can't I do it now? Because it's

475
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: the NFL and with Jackson Dart, he's got three more games.

476
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: You know, now is when you start to find out.

477
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 2: You know, Cleveland's going to find out about Shador Sanders

478
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: these next three games, going to find out is he

479
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: a franchise quarterback? Because that'll be a pretty good sample

480
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: size and they probably have already made up their mind

481
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: of are they going to take a quarterback high in

482
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 2: the draft, but maybe should Or Sanders can show them, hey,

483
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: I can be a franchise quarterback, or some other team

484
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: might look at that. So you got some players who

485
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 2: are playing for things and it might not be playing

486
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: for their team. It could be let me showcase my talent.

487
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland goes all in on

488
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 2: a quarterback and should Or Sanders is not going to

489
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: be the Browns quarterback like that, that wouldn't surprise me

490
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: at all. I think he's shown glimpses. Dylan Gabriel is

491
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: not a franchise quarterback. You know, there's certain guys that

492
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: they just come in and they get an opportunity. Maybe

493
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: they get recycled and then maybe they prove in three

494
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 2: years or four years they can play. But you got

495
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 2: three games, like the Bengals are really interesting with Joe Burrow.

496
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: I mean they're playing the Dolphins. I don't know which

497
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow and the Bengals will show up. I mean

498
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: they got embarrassed against the Ravens. That's a no show

499
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: and that would really concern me. You know another thing

500
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: that I saw with the Cleveland Browns against the Bears,

501
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: the number of guys who didn't play in that game

502
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: for the Browns felt like it's cold. I don't want

503
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: to play. And I talked to a former NFL executive

504
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: yesterday and he laughed about it. He said, this feels

505
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: like this is too cold, and I I don't know

506
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: if I want to go out there. Ah man, I'm

507
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: not feeling as healthy as possible. I said, well, they

508
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: do play in Cleveland, and he said, well, there's Cleveland

509
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 2: cold and then there's Chicago cold. And I thought, okay,

510
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: so maybe you made a business decision of I don't

511
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 2: want to go out there and play in this weather.

517
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: weren't going to make the playoffs, and he was all

518
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: in on the Seahawks beating the Rams last night. The

519
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: Hawks fire. Yeah, the Seaton Hawks. So he avoids a

520
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: pie to the face. I have a pie of the

521
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: face coming up at the end of the show. Fritzy

00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: will administer the pie of my face.

523
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 7: And you said you wanted the thing on top of

524
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 7: your head.

525
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: If I did not, because if I do, there will

526
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: be blood.

527
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: They could affect the voting process.

528
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: That's that's true. By the way, there's already backstabbing the

529
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 2: backroom guys. You know, Mario is already upset. He's the

530
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: defending backroom guy winner last year. And now you got

531
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: some backroom guys who were nominating other backroom guys. Then

532
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: you got some I mean, now it's starting to get

533
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: a little ugly here. And I said, great, that's contempt.

534
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: Go ahead, make sure whatever you do, you do it

535
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: on camera. Okay, but we will announce the most valuable

536
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: backroom guy most valuable dan at least valuable Danet, and

537
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: I have the one vote for the BRG. You the

538
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: audience will vote at Danpatrick dot com on the most

539
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: valuable and least valuable Danet.

540
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 7: Yes, John, Has anyone asked to speak with you privately

541
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 7: in recent days a weeks to stake their case?

542
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 4: Yes? Yes? And were your receptive to that? I thought

543
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 4: that was a week on their part to do that.

544
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: I told that person during the commercial break that if

545
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: they would like to talk to me, then do it privately.

546
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: It's letting you know there's some things going on, things

547
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: going ribes, gifts, no, nothing like that. Chat, just a chat.

548
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: All right, here's the information I got. This is the

549
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: UH college football playoff format that we will see. It

550
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: looks like next year. This was done in the spring

551
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four, is when they came up with

552
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 2: this new format. Each of the big four conferences so

553
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: Big ten, acc SEC, and Big twelve guaranteed birth for

554
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: being their champion. The highest ranked team among remaining conferences

555
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: is also involved. Notre Dame is guaranteed of birth if

556
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: in the top twelve rankings. All the other slots six

557
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: of those if you include Notre Dame as the top

558
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: twelve teams at large berths for the field. That means

559
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: if we use next year's structure, Notre Dame would be

560
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: in and Duke would have been in because they won

561
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: the ACC. James Madison would not be in. The Big

562
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: Ten in SEC went to the Big twelve in ACC

563
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: and said, hey, we're going to guarantee your champion gets

564
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. They got Notre Dame support by saying

565
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: you're going to get in if you're part of the

566
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: top twelve ranked teams. This is where it gets interesting.

567
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: The Big ten in SEC went to the Mountain West

568
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: Pack twelve, Sun Belt MAC, American Conference Conference USA and

569
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: they laid out the new structure here the new format,

570
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: and they said that the two conferences, Big ten and

571
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: SEC will have ultimate control over the college football playoffs,

572
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: and then gave the six conferences a short window to

573
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: accept the deal. It was basically here, it is accepted,

574
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: and then they did. Now if they hadn't, the SEC

575
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: and Big Ten were apparently ready to have their own

576
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: playoff structure and take all the proceeds, so it would

577
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: just be the Big ten in the SEC. Right now,

578
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: it's for either twelve or fourteen. There's nothing that says

579
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 2: what if they go to sixteen or twenty four, but

580
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: that will open up more discussion here. And my source

581
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: wasn't sure if this structure would work for sixteen to

582
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: twenty four or how that would work. But this is

583
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: going to be the playoff format moving forward, and this

584
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: you'll still have maybe a Cinderella story or two in there.

585
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: But if you go to fourteen or sixteen, and Pete Bavaqua,

586
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: Notre Dame Athletic director said we should be going to

587
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: sixteen teams, maybe you're going to fourteen. I don't have

588
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: the number, and my source didn't have the number, but

589
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: the playoff format is designated for fourteen schools.

590
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 4: Yes.

591
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 8: So a couple of weeks ago, even on our show,

592
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 8: it was talked about that it could go to twenty

593
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 8: four teams. It almost feels like that people in college

594
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 8: football leaked out or suggested twenty four. So when it

595
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 8: goes to sixteen, everyone's like, oh, that's not so bad. Sixteen.

596
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 8: It's the natural evolution, Like you're managing expectations. You threw

597
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 8: out twenty four, which I mean lots of people throwing

598
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 8: out twenty four teams. People are like no way, that's

599
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 8: too much. Regular season will get hurt.

600
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: Oh I don't want twenty four.

601
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 8: And nobody does, which is why I think people in

602
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 8: college football threw that out there so when it moves

603
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 8: quickly to sixteen, it's not a big of a deal.

604
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't give college football much credit when it

605
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: comes to this stuff because they'd screwed it up. Screwed up.

606
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: You can't sit there and go, man, I see what

607
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: they're this is what the NFL does. Now, if the

608
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: NFL does that, I go, okay, I see what they're

609
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 2: doing college football and be like I don't know, how

610
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: about this? Or then how about this? And then I

611
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: don't know, let's change this.

612
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

613
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: Point.

614
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 8: You know what's really bothering people, at least on social

615
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 8: media this week is that different college football programs are

616
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 8: announcing that they're resigning players.

617
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: All the schools are doing it.

618
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 8: I don't know who kind of evented it's now become

619
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 8: the thing blank blank football has resigned Ted Smith or whatever.

620
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 8: Everyone's doing it, and it's really turning people off.

621
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it, Like there's other things to be

622
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 2: worried about, concerned about. Then we're going to make an

623
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: announcement that our quarterback is staying. There's other bigger problems

624
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: now you are resigning them. It's all business. You are

625
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: resigning these kids. It's year to year. Uh. Kevin in Michigan. Kevin,

626
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: And what's on your mind today?

627
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 12: Hey Dan?

628
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: Good morning six four. Dan.

629
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 12: Just wanted to push back a little bit on your

630
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 12: opinion from earlier saying you send to the term we

631
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 12: don't want to see uh these underdogs, uh be these

632
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 12: favorites to college football playoffs. But I kind of push

633
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 12: back on that and say, it is relatively similar to

634
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 12: basketball unless you're you pledge allegiance to those teams like

635
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 12: Ohio State, Georgia, notre game if they were in it.

636
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 12: Anyone outside of those folks who pledge allegiance. I feel like,

637
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 12: for the most part, want to see those teams go down.

638
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 12: And I think all the way back to Boise State

639
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 12: and they're upset over Oklahoma.

640
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 2: I know that was many.

641
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 12: Moons ago, but just what an incredible game that was.

642
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 2: I know, but we keep going back to that game.

643
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: We don't bring up any other game. If you give

644
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 2: me three or four more. Now, I'm glad James Madison

645
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: and Too Lane are in they did what they were

646
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 2: supposed to do. They shouldn't be punished. All I want

647
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 2: to make sure is that they're not blowouts. That they

648
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: get blown out and then people say the following, I

649
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: told you so. That's the only thing that I don't

650
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 2: want to happen. If they happen to shock the world, great,

651
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: it's content I don't have. I'm not rooting for anybody,

652
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: but you know, the line is twenty and a half.

653
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the odds are probably not great. It's going

654
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: to be a great game, But Kevin, thank you. I'll

655
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: take those comments under advisement. But if you have a

656
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: surprise in March Madness, we expect that it's really rare.

657
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a real separation between the powerhouses and

658
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: JMU and TWU Lane, a real separation talent wise and

659
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: as a result financially, how they built these rosters and

660
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: do they have a chance. They're on the field, you

661
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 2: have a chance, but if you look at the point spreads,

662
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: not likely that they're going to keep it close. And

663
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: that's that's the only thing that I I hope that

664
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: we can have competitive games. That's all because I just

665
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: don't want it to I told you so. I told

666
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: you so. Yep, you can tell me so, because you

667
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: know Vegas is expecting blowouts here.

668
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 4: Yeah.

669
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: Point.

670
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 8: I would say though, that because of the NL NIL era,

671
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 8: that these big heavyweight programs are a little more vulnerable

672
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 8: than they were six or seven years ago. Like it

673
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 8: wouldn't even be a game like Oregon squeaked by Iowa,

674
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 8: which is a nice team. They had a couple other

675
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 8: close ones. There's not a steamroller in college football anymore.

676
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 8: Ohio State's pretty close, but even they lost.

677
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's this year. I mean Ohio State, although

678
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: they lost to Michigan last year. Ohio State, Ohio State's

679
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 2: gonna have probably five first round draft picks, five first

680
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: round draft picks, maybe more, and with their marquee guys

681
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: aren't even eligible for the draft, so there's a big separation.

682
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: It is to Lane or James Madison going to have

683
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: a first round pick. I don't think so, second round,

684
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 2: third round, probably not. It's just a big, big drop off,

685
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: and that's where college football needs to get to the

686
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: point where everybody is on a level playing field. And

687
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: you know you're going to get that because of NIL,

688
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: your collectives, you know we're heading towards it. It's not

689
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: stopping right now. Even with fourteen playoff teams, or even sixteen,

690
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: it's going to go to twenty four. March Madness will

691
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 2: end up at ninety six. One of these days in

692
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 2: our lifetime, it'll go to ninety six schools. And the

693
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: reason is they never pass on money. That's why when

694
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: we had four teams, and I said immediately, like I

695
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: was going to be thrilled if we got fourteen, the

696
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: college football playoffs would be four schools, and I go, okay,

697
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: that's progress. And then I said, once they realize the

698
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,479
Speaker 2: amount of money here, it's going to quickly double, if

699
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 2: not triple. And that's what we're facing right now, and

700
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: facing is the wrong word. That's the new world in

701
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: college football because of the amount of money that's there

702
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: for these conferences, Notre Dame individually, there's a lot of

703
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: money at stake. More games, more money, March Madness, more games,

704
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 2: more money. I've said it many times, follow the money.

705
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: I don't care. The answer is money. Now, what's the question?

706
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 7: Yes, Todd and the coach of the ninety seventh basketball team,

707
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 7: so of course going to wonder why you got fired

708
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 7: and be shocked that just because they didn't make the

709
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 7: field of ninety six that they showed him the.

710
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: Door, Thank you, Todd.

711
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, I think if you see one of those powerhouses,

712
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 6: maybe say like Texas A and M get mollywopped in

713
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 6: the college football playoff, there's gonna be some issues because

714
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 6: they shell out so much money that they're gonna be like,

715
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 6: what are we paying you all this money for. We're

716
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 6: paying you to try to win a national title. You're

717
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 6: not paying these guys or the collective twenty to thirty

718
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 6: million dollars to lose in the first round or the

719
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 6: college football playoffs. So you're gonna see more guys get

720
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 6: fired in the middle of September, the middle of October

721
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 6: because these you know, because boosters are showing out so

722
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 6: much money.

723
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Miami is what a three and a half

724
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: point underdog, four and a half point underdog against Texas

725
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 2: A and M, so that wouldn't surprise anybody. I mean,

726
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm waiting if A and M wins by fourteen, and

727
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 2: then you're gonna hear it. Well, see, they shouldn't have

728
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 2: been in Notre Dame. Should have been in Yes, Mark, But.

729
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 6: If you're a booster for Texas A, and m You

730
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 6: don't want to hear that. You want to hear that

731
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 6: we won. They don't want to hear that. Oh they

732
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 6: were favors, so they should have won. No, no, no,

733
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 6: we paid Mike Elko. We paid all these players twenty

734
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 6: thirty million dollars as a collective Miami.

735
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 2: When Miami paid their players, they all pay their I

736
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 2: mean Carson Beck was the highest paid quarterback when he

737
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: went to Miami. I think he went out and bought

738
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Like, I mean, they're all getting paid,

739
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: but not the smaller schools.

740
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, Pully remember in college when like someone had a

741
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 8: new accord and that was cool. Can you imagine rolling

742
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 8: around in a Lambo? I mean, even its Miami, you're sticking.

743
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: Out Josh and san Antonio. Hi, Josh, what's onny mind?

744
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 9: Hey Dan? I'm an admitted college football junkie, and I

745
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 9: blame myself because I'll watch however many games they put on.

746
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 9: But one thing I will say about college football fans

747
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 9: is that we're never happy. First it was the coaches

748
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 9: in the ap defense, the debating who is going to

749
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 9: be playing in the College Football Championship. Then we said no,

750
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 9: that can't work. Let's go to a computer system, the BCS,

751
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 9: and we said, no, that can't work. So we said,

752
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 9: let's go to a.

753
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 13: Four team playoff. And now it's twelve teams. And now

754
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 13: it's this kind of contrived idea that you mentioned with

755
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 13: the Big twelve or the Big ten and the SEC

756
00:40:58,880 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 13: running it.

757
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 9: I have no self control. I'm going to watch every

758
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 9: game that they're gonna put on.

759
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 13: But I really wish, I really value and what makes

760
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 13: college football special is the regular season. Every game matters,

761
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,720
Speaker 13: and if any year this year for a fourteen playoffs,

762
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 13: those four teams are a tier above everybody else.

763
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, I worry about the regular season, but

764
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, more teams have an opportunity to,

765
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 2: if they play well during the regular season, get into

766
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: the postseason. You know, it's a kind of a push

767
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: pull taffee pull. It feels like like if you have

768
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: more teams, then it's watered down and it doesn't mean

769
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: the same. And I know, but it's the new age.

770
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: It's money college basketball, college football, the amount of money,

771
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 2: march madness. Why not have more madness college football. Let's

772
