The last couple 37 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 3: of weeks especially, you have seen the voices get the 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 3: loudest they have been for how bad Tony Romo is 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 3: and about Tom Brady and his job in the booth 40 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 3: for Fox. Okay, these are two guys who are now 41 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 3: going in absolutely opposite directions, and let's do Romo first. 42 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: All right, Now, Look, the first thing I'm gonna tell 43 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 3: you is that I really don't care. A lot of 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 3: times what an analyst has to say, I really don't 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 3: because how much do you really take away from it? 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 3: Do you listen? Yes, if you go online and you 47 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: see someone will write a column going, look at these 48 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: great points that were brought up, yeah, no, I get it. 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: But generally analysis it sometimes it goes in one ear 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 3: goes out the other. You're not really you're kind of 51 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 3: half paying attention because you're watching the action, you're talking 52 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: with someone else. If you were, if you were experiencing 53 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: an NFL game in a sensory deprivation tank where all 54 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 3: you had were the voices of the play by play 55 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 3: guy in the analysts, okay, then I would tell you, 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 3: all right, yes, okay, then you really but really it's 57 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: not that big a deal yet. It's never gonna get 58 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: any better for Tony Romme, right, Tony Romeo is a 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: guy who really talking about the guy who peaked, you know, 60 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: his first year. Every week things just get worse and worse, 61 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: and look, I gotta be honest, some of the things 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 3: he said in the Bills Jaguars game was a little weird, 63 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: and it honestly just feels like just watching Tony Romo, 64 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: it just feels like the guy is showing up now, 65 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: where when he first got the gig, he worked hard, 66 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 3: he was predicting plays, he was branded, no one had 67 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: ever seen anybody do that, and he became a big 68 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: star right away, got a big contract. But now it 69 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 3: just kind of feels like he's showing up, right, Like, 70 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: is the hard work still there? And I don't mean 71 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: there he's blowing off meetings and going to Cabo, you know, 72 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: on bye weeks or anything, but like, is he really 73 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 3: putting forth the effort he needs to to succeed? Right, 74 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: They've had meetings with him at CBS, You've heard all this, 75 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: but it kind of feels like he's just showing up. 76 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: Jim and I are showing up in our chemistry and 77 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: our and our knowledge of the game and my knowledge 78 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 3: of the game. Yeah, I can kind of just do this. 79 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,279 Speaker 3: But really, you are seeing the more and more criticism 80 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: of him on social media. You know who listens to 81 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: social media Television networks when they see people, when they 82 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 3: see viewership dropping, or when they see someone that they're 83 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: paying a lot of money to just get absolutely roasted 84 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: on a regular basis, Guess what those things happen. Right, 85 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: how much did you have to see the Monday Night 86 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,119 Speaker 3: Football booth with Levy and Tessitour and and and Jason Witten? 87 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 3: How much you have to see people just rip that 88 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: to shreds every week on social media before ESPN said no, no, no, 89 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: we're getting rid of that. We're getting rid of that. 90 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 3: We're gonna go spend all kinds of money on Joe 91 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: Buck and Troy Aikman. We don't worry. We're getting rid 92 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 3: of that. We're gonna get rid of that. Right, you 93 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: see social media runs things like that. Right. They don't 94 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 3: run NFL teams, they don't run baseball teams, but certain 95 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 3: things that like that. Yeah, they kind of have a 96 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 3: big say in what happens. And I've seen networks do 97 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 3: it before because you have executives who are really sick 98 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 3: of seeing, Hey, our product is getting dragged through the 99 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 3: mud because nobody likes our analysts, and every date and 100 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: every Monday after a game, here's Tony Romo, here's some 101 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: of this stuff he said. If I got to hear 102 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: Tony Romo calling the Bills an overdog again, look what's 103 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: he saying? Overdog? Like? 104 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 4: This? 105 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 3: Is it like he's got to understand that his future. 106 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: What's gonna happen is they're paying him a lot of money. 107 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 3: But guess who's gonna get demoted off the number one team. 108 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: That's what's gonna happen, right, I mean, he thinks, Ah, yeah, 109 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: me and Jim we've been doing games. I'm the number Yeah. 110 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 3: Guess what, you can get demoted pretty easy. And I 111 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if coming off of this season that 112 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 3: and Romo's got to bounce back this week in the 113 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: next couple of weeks. If he doesn't, he's gonna get 114 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 3: demoted and somebody else is gonna be in the number 115 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: one booth alongside Jim Nantz next season, or you're gonna 116 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: see a big change in the number one booth overall. 117 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: Maybe Jim nance decides, Okay, I don't want to get 118 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 3: pushed out before I have to, so I'm gonna leave, 119 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: or who knows how it's gonna go. But I'll tell 120 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: you what, if you had to make me make a 121 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: decision right now, I would tell you Romo's not gonna 122 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 3: be in the number one booth next year for CBS. 123 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 3: It's just good. It's too far gone now where so 124 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: many people think he's doing an awful job, and I 125 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: can't say they're not, because when I see him talk 126 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 3: sometimes I'm going, wow, you really really just say things 127 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: like you're just kind of showing up, and I kind 128 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: of need a little more from you on someplace. I 129 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: need at least a little bit why this replay is 130 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 3: not going to get overturned or what happened on that. 131 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: And I don't even feel like I get that from 132 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: Tony Romo anymore. 133 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 4: A lot of guesswork, a lot of just excited like 134 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: he's in the three hundred level at times. Nance has 135 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: been fantastic and keeps the line moving. But you know, 136 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 4: we've talked a lot about it and go back to 137 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 4: some of what we did with Kyler Murray and some 138 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: of the other wonder kids, I mean wonder kinds through 139 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 4: the time of guys that have just tremendous success. I mean, 140 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 4: you saw this at Syracuse, right Maybe you were the 141 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: wizard that came in and you dominated all your high 142 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 4: school classes and then you come there and all of 143 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 4: a sudden, oh, it's a little harder. Likewise, Kyler Murray 144 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: hasd every test, Heisman first pick Hey, top ten, pick 145 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 4: and baseball, go choose, choose the world your oyster, and 146 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 4: then you actually have to hunker down and try to 147 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 4: figure out the next generation. Suddenly it got hard. Suddenly 148 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 4: you didn't have the ability to just wing it on 149 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 4: tests and make it through and get by on a 150 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 4: good looks of smile and a witty turn of phrase. Wait, 151 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 4: I turned that back on you and me there, but 152 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 4: some of that is going on with Tony Romo here 153 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: as well. I think you come into the booth and 154 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 4: you know what you know, you know the coaches, their tendencies, 155 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 4: their schemes. 156 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: Guess what, it's a whole. 157 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 4: Generation removed just that fast, and a lot of guys 158 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 4: that maybe you don't have all the answers to to 159 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 4: where you're calling him out by number because you don't 160 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 4: know the surname. And you get yourself caught in watching 161 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 4: as a fan and marveling and maybe you know and 162 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 4: evoked some of those little kid feelings, but it doesn't 163 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 4: translate into a number one analyst kind of role. And 164 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 4: what he set up such great expectations for himself in 165 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 4: that first year. Right, he was different, He was fun, 166 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 4: He had the snark to go alongside with what nance 167 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 4: brings to the table and now a couple of years later, 168 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: it's just got a different feel. I don't want to 169 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 4: lose him. But what what's Greg Olsen's contract look like? 170 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, exactly, Yeah, I mean a lot. I think 171 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: there's a lot of things you can do. Look, there's 172 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: always going to get Maybe this is where they say, hey, 173 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, how would you like to come and do 174 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: games every Sunday? Right, how would you like to be 175 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: partnered with? Jim Nan said, oh wait a minute, wait, 176 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: Mike tom there's always that next guy out there, right, 177 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: I mean, look, and Romo's getting a lot of Money's 178 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: getting eighteen million dollars a year. Look, it's a lot 179 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 3: of cash to do it. But yeah, they can easily 180 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 3: demote him and try to find the new guy. You 181 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 3: can spend a lot of money on that. 182 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 4: Last thing to say with it is also, you know 183 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 4: you talked about execs and social media. Nowadays, you don't 184 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 4: just get a guy doing a quick tweet on it. 185 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,239 Speaker 4: You get a super cut of all the malpropisms and 186 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 4: numbers and you know, disjointed commentary that comes up. Right, 187 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 4: So out of a three hour broadcast might have only 188 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 4: had five of them, But here they are and fashion 189 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 4: for a minute and a half that is easily consumable 190 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 4: to listeners and viewers who love the NFL but may 191 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 4: not have caught all the game. Maybe they're out at 192 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 4: a bar or at another game, so they see the video. 193 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 4: Like I watch a lot of games, I don't watch 194 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 4: it with a lot of sound oftentimes. So yeah, those 195 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 4: super cuts do come in, and those are the things 196 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 4: that are very easy to bring into a Monday recap 197 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 4: meeting to go through, as I'm sure has been done 198 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 4: many times this year. 199 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: Now going in the opposite direction, quite honestly, is Tom 200 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: Brady Okay? Now, Brady came in last year. I thought 201 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 3: he was going to come in and be just like 202 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: just everything that Romo was right here. He comes in 203 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 3: as everybody wants to see what he has to say. 204 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 3: He's going to tell incredible stories. For Brady, it's been 205 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: much more of a grind than I thought it was 206 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: going to be. But the last few weeks I feel 207 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 3: like Brady has really come into his own right. His 208 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 3: game last week was the best he has done because 209 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: I again, what do I say, how many things do 210 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: you really remember? But a couple of things that he 211 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 3: talked about just really stick out, and I feel like 212 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 3: maybe it just took him the better part of two 213 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: seasons to get it going. Looked just like a quarterback right, 214 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: takes me a little bit, but then I pick it 215 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 3: up right. His point on the Christian McCaffrey trick play, 216 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: when I don't know why the defender is letting Christian 217 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: McCaffrey run by him. You see him on the field, 218 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 3: what are you doing? You're not getting to the backfield. 219 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: What are you And they're showing the replay and you 220 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 3: just see McCaffrey running by and he's, oh, no, all right, 221 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: Like that was really fun. That was a great point. 222 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 3: And then he talked about how what's going on with 223 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts and when you throw the football in this 224 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 3: kind of weather, if the tip of the football is 225 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 3: up a little bit, you miss a lot of passes 226 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: the ball sails on you. And how many times do 227 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 3: we see Jalen Hurts just miss on a pass where 228 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 3: the ball sailed that big incomplete pass to Devonte Smith 229 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: at the end of the game that could have put 230 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: the Eagles inside the ten yard line. Instead, they turn 231 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: it over on downs and they're watching, like I feel 232 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: like Brady has really sort of the last three or 233 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: four weeks, but then last week with the Eagles game 234 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: and the forty nine ers, I feel like he's really 235 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: starting to come into his own. Like it took him 236 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: longer than I thought, and he was always serviceable, but 237 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: you know, look, did I think he was trying to 238 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 3: do too much? Yeah? Like, okay, I don't think everybody 239 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: needs to know. This is what the right tackle did 240 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 3: on this play. This is what the the defensive ended 241 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: on this play. This is what the linebacker did on 242 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 3: this play. This is what the fullback did on this play. 243 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: Like okay, Like you don't need to say everything. So 244 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: maybe it's taken him a little bit of time to 245 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 3: get comfortable, but I really feel like the last month 246 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 3: Brady has really started to shine. And I don't know 247 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 3: if he's gonna get the credit for it. I mean, look, 248 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: when you're getting paid forty million dollars a year to 249 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: do football games, but really, you know, the last month 250 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 3: and then getting into last week, I thought that was 251 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 3: his best game. Yeah. 252 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 4: I really enjoyed that crazy ass end of season Bears 253 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 4: Packers game, the Saturday night game. He was just so 254 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 4: jacked up for that atmosphere and from the opening kick 255 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 4: all the way through. It brought that energy to every call, 256 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 4: and he was concise and excitable, doing some of the 257 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: same excited utterances that we get from from Romo. But 258 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 4: then adding the piece of information. I think some of 259 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 4: it it's reps. You know, we've been talking a lot 260 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: about Dante Moore. Hey, go back and get more reps, 261 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: Go go throw more passes. At the collegiate level, all 262 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: of those kinds of things. Same thing here. You've come 263 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 4: into your own and you had no doubt that once 264 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 4: he got all that negative feedback, oh he's going to 265 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 4: internalize that and fight back. I mean, I got a 266 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 4: couple of minutes. He had a great interview on The 267 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 4: Herd with Colin on yesterday's show. You can find that 268 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 4: wherever you get your podcasts, but just kind of talking 269 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 4: about some of the personal stuff at the end of 270 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 4: his playing career. But also you know in the broadcast booth, 271 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: you know, learning less is more and timing down distance 272 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 4: just like a quarterback, right you got to find your rhythm, 273 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 4: find your pace because they're getting back up to the line. 274 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 4: So even if you want to get that extra line 275 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 4: in about the right tackle as you said, Jason's got 276 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 4: to live to see another day, right, that's gotta be during. 277 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 4: It come a long time out and it's like, hey, 278 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 4: let's go back and now we've got a sequence of 279 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 4: plays to kind of highlight it and whatever. It can't 280 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 4: be done in the moment, and that only comes through 281 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 4: repetition and your production team and trust in your squad. 282 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 4: So uh, bit by bit better and better. Now he 283 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 4: just has to go fix the raiders. 284 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, look and un listen, maybe he'll show up at 285 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: your house and deliver you a Pizza Hut and that 286 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: could happen. Does he actually eat pizza though? 287 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 4: Because TV twelve is getting sunned down? I don't know 288 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 4: if you saw that. 289 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, you going away? Yeah, but here here's what I think. 290 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: I think he's gonna come up. He's doing these Pizza 291 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: Hut commercials and it's gonna be Hey, this pizza has 292 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: coliflower crust and it's and it's not real cheese.

I think that's kind of where it's going. 295 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 3: That's what I think. 296 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 4: The The cauliflower crust seems to be the latest fraud 297 00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 4: beying perpetrated. You know, for a while it made avocados 298 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 4: where every other advertisement and everything else like this feels 299 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 4: like the next iteration. 300 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: Exit out about a fresca x at Swollen Dome.

You know, they didn't deserve to 328 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 3: be in the playoff, but they win the acc for 329 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 3: the first time since I think Steve Spurrier was playing. 330 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 3: And and you know, Manny Diaz has done a great 331 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 3: job there getting in and here they are.

Okay, 357 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 5: so then what happens when you know, eighty nine or 358 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 5: ninety one minutes before kickoff?

But like, yeah, 368 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 5: kind of thinks. But the part about this is like, look, 369 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 5: you know, Duke went and gave Menta a lot of 370 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 5: money to get him away from the portal and away 371 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 5: from Tulane, and now they're all mad that someone else 372 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 5: is offering him a lot of money and maybe a 373 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 5: little bit more to leave. It's kind of welcome to 374 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 5: the game, Sun, It's kind of this thing's played right now. 375 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 3: Wait, so you think it's going to be Miami, you 376 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 3: think that's where that's where he's head. 377 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 5: It seems like it seems like that's I mean, it's 378 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 5: if he's going in the last deck, and it seems 379 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 5: like that would be the place because he's going to 380 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 5: get paid a lot of money to do this and 381 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 5: he's already the you know, it was never official, but 382 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 5: it was something about like four million to play for 383 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 5: Duke and he kind of you know, that's put changed 384 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 5: the whole market for Nico Jamieva and you know, for others. 385 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 5: And if he's gonna leave Duke and Miami's desperate for 386 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 5: a quarterback, it kind of seems like that might fit. 387 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 4: Oh, I like this, So does that mean he's coming 388 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: in to run it back or rebuild from the Ashes 389 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 4: after they get crushed by Signetti and they were googling 390 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 4: him again. 391 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 5: I don't even know why they show up.

I mean, because like honestly, if we 408 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 5: have you know, we're gonna have we have, We're gonna 409 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 5: be coming off of the divisional rounds, and it's what 410 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 5: all sports talk radio is going to want to talk about. 411 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 3: Now. 412 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 6: The difference being that since ESPN has the National Championship, 413 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 6: it's gonna be Wall the Wall, Indiana versus Miami. 414 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 5: But the rest of the world is going to be 415 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,239 Speaker 5: talking about whatever happens on Saturday and Sunday. You know, 416 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 5: so especially if like let's say we do get like 417 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 5: you know, Bears versus like Niners, and you know, Patriots 418 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 5: versus Bills or whatever it turns out to be, you know, 419 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 5: that's gonna be the front and center talking. 420 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 6: It's gonna be oh yeah, and you know, shift gears here, 421 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 6: let's go to the National Championship. 422 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 3: It just seems like. 423 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 5: They they drag it out a little bit too long, 424 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 5: and this is kind of a byproduct of that. Now 425 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 5: it's it's a classic game, then everyone's going to be 426 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 5: like wow, and that's the all they're going to talk 427 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 5: about with us of the week. If this, you know, 428 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 5: is just a thriller, But I hope. So I'm hoping 429 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 5: it's gonna be a good game. 430 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 6: But I just Indiana has a way of turning teams 431 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 6: into quivering bowl that goo. So let's let's see how 432 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 6: Miami shows up for See. 433 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: Here's the thing, Pete is, I do think we're gonna 434 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 3: get a classic. I think we're gonna get a game 435 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 3: that's a lot like the Giants Bills, Super Bowl, the 436 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 3: Norwood miss because Miami's defense is fast, it's physical. They're 437 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 3: gonna come in and they're gonna take shots at Fernanda 438 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 3: Mendoza and try to make them uncomfortable. Right, Indiana's got 439 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 3: a great offense, but they've been a front running team 440 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 3: for a long time. Especially coming off that game last 441 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 3: week where you get a pick six on the first play, 442 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 3: you do whatever you want to throwing the football, running 443 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 3: the football. Miami's defense is gonna make it harder for Indiana. 444 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 3: And I can just see a couple of those typical 445 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 3: Miami thirteen play seventy yard eight and a half minutes 446 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 3: off the clock drives, It keeps Mendoza on the bench 447 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 3: where even it's a field touchdown, field goal doesn't matter, 448 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 3: And I can see Miami pulling the upset using that formula. 449 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 5: The only problem is I'm not there. And basically every 450 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 5: national championship I've been to has been awesome in the 451 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 5: playoff era, and every game I have not been at 452 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 5: I was supposed to go but couldn't it the last second. 453 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 5: Every game I haven't been at it's stunk. So there's 454 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 5: that problem. 455 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 4: But tach Kurts, people need to rally together for three 456 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 4: thousand dollars for Pete to get tickets. 457 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 5: Oh no, I've got the I've got the credentials. The 458 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 5: credentials we worth the problem. 459 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 6: It's you know, various you know other aspects of this 460 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 6: which I will not get into. 461 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 5: But you should be happy. You you you've benefited. 462 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 6: From this as much as anybody else. I didn't go 463 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 6: with the last second, the very very very last second. 464 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 5: I didn't go to Michigan TCU so or Michigan Washington so. Okay, 465 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 5: so there was or Michigan TCU. 466 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 6: I'm sorry too soon. 467 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 5: Uh no, But to your point, direct point, one of 468 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 5: the things that no one's done is run the ball 469 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 5: religiously on India. It's like they everyone stops and it's 470 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 5: my biggest pet peeves. It's a college thing, not a 471 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 5: pro thing. You know, you can go to teams and 472 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 5: like there's certain teams like Notre Dame who have just 473 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 5: this twisted thing where they're like one hundred and ninety 474 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 5: five and one for the last like whatever, how many 475 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 5: twenty years whenever they run the ball twenty five times 476 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 5: or more? When didn't they do it? They didn't run 477 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 5: twenty five times or more against Ohio State last year, 478 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,239 Speaker 5: or did against Northern Illinois or just like it's there 479 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 5: was always these weird stats like that no one has 480 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 5: run the ball like much on India. I said, the 481 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 5: most anybody's done it this year is ten State ran 482 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 5: it only thirty three times. Like Alabama. You's got this big, 483 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 5: massive group of guys up front and NFL line, you're 484 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 5: only running it what seventeen times? 485 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 6: It's like they stop now. 486 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 5: I kind of get why Oregon didn't because they don't 487 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 5: have any running backs available. But if you're in Miami, 488 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 5: to your direct point, even if you're getting stuffed right away, 489 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 5: and they did get stuffed by Ole Miss, but they 490 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 5: ran the ball a ga jillion times, keep pounding away. 491 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 5: Just eventually that NFL offensive line is going to start 492 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 5: to break through because It's so funny. In my little 493 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 5: sewing circle of guys, everyone's. 494 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 6: Sitting thinking, oh, well, we're gonna get another Indiana blowout, 495 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 6: and because they've just been too. 496 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 5: Good, too technically good. 497 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 6: But in the back of their minds, everyone's kind of 498 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 6: said the same thing you're saying. It's like, yeah, I 499 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 6: don't know, you know, this Miami team's got the guys. 500 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 6: So as long as Carson Beck doesn't start throwing interceptions 501 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 6: like he did against Louisville and SMU. Yeah, I'm hoping 502 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 6: maybe I'm wish captain this, but I think it's going 503 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 6: to be a pretty good game. 504 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 4: Pete, were you surprised that Dante Moore said I'm going 505 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 4: back to school Rodney Dangerfield style. 506 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I am, like, and that's a red flag. Like, 507 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 5: I'm in the Bill Parcells camp where if if you 508 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 5: want to be an NFL player, go be an NFL player. 509 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 5: What are you doing hanging around with a college kids? Like, 510 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 5: I get it, you know, he wants to improve and 511 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff. I find it kind of 512 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 5: hilarious that you know he wants to come back to 513 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 5: college and you know there's a long season. He needs 514 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 5: a break. You's got to take a vacation. Meanwhile, classes 515 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 5: started at Oregon like two weeks ago, so I don't 516 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 5: think he's you know, diving into the class work on this. 517 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 6: I think he wants to get better, and I get it, 518 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 6: and I guess where he wants to be. You know, 519 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 6: maybe he doesn't really just does not want to be 520 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 6: a jet or maybe he thinks he can be the 521 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 6: number one pick next year. 522 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 5: But for whatever reason, Okay, great, you know that's fine, 523 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 5: But I don't know, just go if you're that good, 524 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 5: if you're going to be a top five pick. And 525 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 5: I still think even after the performance against Indiana, once 526 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 5: you get him into workouts, he's a little more of 527 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 5: a projection than Mendoza, but he could have been number 528 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 5: one overall. Definitely number two maybe, So if you're that good, 529 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 5: don't just go in the league, I guess. But look, 530 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 5: coming back to all of a sudden makes you know, 531 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 5: Oregon that much more powerful coming in the next year, 532 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 5: and it's certainly a bigger deal where you know, for 533 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 5: all the people talking, well, this is the start of 534 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 5: the dynasty for Indiana. They have the number one transfer 535 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 5: portal and all that kind of stuff. Well, or you know, 536 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 5: Ohio State's not quitting football. Michigan's going to be better. 537 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, who knows what we're getting got 538 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 5: it teams like we go Wisconsin and Illinois and a 539 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 5: better UCLA going forward, usc at the best recruiting class 540 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 5: in the country, and now Oregon gets back a guy 541 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 5: who might be the number two pick in the draft 542 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 5: next year after our Schmanning goes one. So it's going 543 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 5: to be a if everyone's thinking that the Big ten 544 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 5: is going to take a hit now after these you know, 545 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 5: this massive run, Now that's not going to happen. 546 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 3: Now, let me let me throw the hatch for Dante 547 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 3: more Pete because this is a different way to think 548 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 3: of him going back to school. I get not wanting 549 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: to be a Jet and sitting there at number two. 550 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 3: You know, I understand that, But what are the chances 551 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 3: that Dante Moore, hey, you know whatever it was, got 552 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 3: feedback the Jets said, yeah, we might not take you 553 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 3: at number two. We don't know if you're ready, and 554 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 3: you could slide. And I didn't get the feedback from 555 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 3: that he needed from the rest of the league, and 556 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 3: he could have wind up being a guy that we 557 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 3: thought was going to go number two. But would slide 558 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 3: through the first round because teams are nervous about it 559 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 3: because he doesn't have the starts and all all the 560 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 3: things that you just talked about. What are the odds 561 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 3: that he didn't get the feedback from the league he 562 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 3: wanted and that's why he went back to school and. 563 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 5: Then like he's gonna be this year Shador Sanders and 564 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 5: keep flat dropping down. 565 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 3: The problem though, is no, I mean like he would 566 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 3: drop down to the end of the first round like 567 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 3: he would he would take the second. 568 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, but like who I mean kid club Nick No, 569 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 5: Drew Aller, No, I mean, I guess Ty Simpson is 570 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 5: I'm not buying that. But the Ty Simpson's your guy now, 571 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 5: I mean, like he's the guy who could go number 572 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 5: two to the Jets only because in the Quarterback Star 573 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 5: of Draft that's it. 574 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 6: But that's possible. 575 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 5: He could absolutely have done that to me. Though again, 576 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 5: if you're a quarterback with the potential to be someone's 577 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 5: franchise quarterback, I still I just can't get past it. 578 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 5: Like justin Herbert literally made more money than the Mountain West. 579 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 5: You know, It's like, you know, Jill Burrow is making 580 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 5: more money than Conference USA and meteor rites like you 581 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 5: gotta get to that second contract as soon as possible. 582 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 5: Now you're talking, you know, real money, Amigo money. You're talking. 583 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 5: You know, you're talking to fifty five million a year deal. 584 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 6: So it's the fact that you can get there if 585 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 6: you are good enough. It doesn't really matter where you go. 586 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 5: But I get it. 587 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 6: I mean, he's to only twenty, and I get that 588 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 6: he wants to progress and get better and do all that. 589 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 6: But that's a that's a pretty big risk to take. 590 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 5: Because you're never sure to be as quite as hot 591 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 5: as you are right now. I mean just remember Carton 592 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 5: Beck was the presumptive number one overall pick a couple 593 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 5: of years ago, and Garrett Nusmeyer, well he's going to 594 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 5: be the number one pick. 595 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 6: You know, guys, rise up. 596 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 5: You know there's going to be another Mendoza out there 597 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 5: coming that we don't see coming. So when you have 598 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 5: your chance, you kind of got to take it when 599 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 5: it comes to the drafting world. 600 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen 601 00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 3: live from our Miami, Indiana headquarters forget to out ESPN. 602 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 3: We're the headquarters there.

You know. 619 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 6: I not to pivot off here, but how can it. 620 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 5: I know, Matthew Stafford and you know Devaca Adams have 621 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 5: played and their professionals they reduced all these guys used 622 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 5: to cold weather.

I mean, think about that point 632 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 3: about Indiana. You know, nobody has tried to run the 633 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 3: football on Indiana, and you know that's what Miami's gonna do. 634 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 3: They're gonna continue to try to run it to keep 635 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 3: Mendoza off the field because they're gonna, hey, how to 636 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 3: stop the Indiana offense. The less reps possible, the less 637 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 3: time they're on the field, the less they can score. 638 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 3: They're gonna try to continue to do that and hold 639 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 3: onto the clock. And look, it's not gonna be pretty, 640 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 3: but this is a Miami team that can do a 641 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: lot of things well.

Sure, just a couple of days ago, 683 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 4: maybe you were thinking about him. Maybe Ohio State running 684 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 4: back Bo Jackson. 685 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 3: That's what you said. Jackson, Now that's what That's what 686 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 3: all the fans here now, the Ohio State guy. He's 687 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 3: that good. Okay. 688 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: Uh. 689 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 3: But when I saw the numbers, because that was the 690 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 3: big thing, I'm like, Okay, this is going to be 691 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 3: a real overpa, because what what do we say? Last night, 692 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 3: after the Kyle Tucker deal goes down to the Dodgers, 693 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 3: we talked about how watch the panic that happens now 694 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 3: from teams that feel like they have to go get X, 695 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 3: Y and Z, and they're going to overpay for everybody. Bobashett, 696 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 3: Tody Bellinger training for Freddie PERRAULTA, whatever it's gonna be, 697 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 3: You're gonna see a lot of overpayment because this is 698 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: gonna scare people because here's the Dodgers getting better. And 699 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 3: then what I saw was three years and one hundred 700 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 3: and twenty million. I'm like, oh, and there's opt outs 701 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 3: that this is a better deal than Kyle Tucker. I 702 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 3: would rather and I think all baseball people if you said, okay, 703 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 3: you can have either one of these players with their deals, 704 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 3: would it be Kyle Tucker for sixty million a year 705 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 3: for the next four years, or would it be Bobaschett 706 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 3: for the next three years one hundred and twenty six 707 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 3: million with opt outs along the way. Every ninety nine 708 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 3: point nine percent of people are taking the Bobashett option. 709 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 3: They're both terrific players, They're both not perfect. They both 710 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 3: have issues, but shed at a horrible twenty twenty four, 711 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: had a great year last year. Uh Tucker has a 712 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 3: tough time staying in the lineup. He had a he 713 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 3: had a tough end of the year last year. Now 714 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 3: you're seeing a lot of sour grapes out there online 715 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 3: about some of his attitude and how it was with 716 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 3: the with the Cubs and why the Cubs are able 717 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 3: to say goodbye to him, but you. 718 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 4: Know on his phone a lot. 719 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, just to you not to go too far 720 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 3: down down that aspect of it. But when you think 721 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 3: of the contract for here's two guys that are both 722 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 3: really good, they both have red flags. What deal would 723 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 3: you rather have to have to work out with your team, 724 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 3: Bobaschett or Kyle Tuckett. You'd rather work with the bobashett one. 725 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 3: If Bobachette one works out great, great, And if he 726 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 3: wants to opt out, great, you don't know many more 727 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 3: money you can figure it out. If it works out 728 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 3: to a point where he wants to stay, great. I mean, 729 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 3: there's no downside to this deal. He was just as 730 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 3: good of a guy out there as Tucker. Now he 731 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 3: plays the infield and he wanted an outfielder. So yeah, 732 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 3: Tucker is probably a better fit because of that. But 733 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 3: now the Mets have the best infield in baseball, his 734 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,719 Speaker 3: defense does not matter. By failing to get Kyle Tucker 735 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 3: the Mets actually wound up succeeding. That never happens, Mike. 736 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 3: Usually the Mets fail to just fail, but instead they failed, 737 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 3: and they failed upward, which was fantastic. 738 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 4: Figured you were gonna come up empty, and it took 739 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 4: less than twenty four hours for the baseball gods to 740 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 4: just you deserved a little bit of fun. 741 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 3: I deserve a break today, just like McDonald's. 742 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 4: That's Bob, maybe you'll go and grab some. And he's 743 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 4: had to reward yourself from me, Bobashett, I mean four 744 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 4: times top sixteen MVP. We talked about the sixty three 745 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 4: extra base hits a year ago, in two ninety four 746 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 4: career hit or all of those things. Look, both guys 747 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 4: have opt outs. For Tucker, obviously, it's his power that 748 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 4: can be exercised after two years to go back and 749 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 4: say the market's changed. We live in a different world 750 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 4: that we did thirty seconds ago. I want more money, 751 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 4: So yeah you have that. The Bashett still waiting on 752 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 4: final terms, but you know, expected some options there. How 753 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 4: much his team reliant there I will remains. 754 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 3: To be seen. 755 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 4: But he's great insurance of Lindor coming off the elbow 756 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 4: surgery isn't ready to go at short, but certainly pencil 757 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 4: in at third. Not as excited about his offense. If 758 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 4: he's playing third every day, man, you know corner endfielders 759 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 4: she can have. His defense does not matter. And I 760 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 4: wish he could run. 761 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 3: A little bit more. 762 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 4: But all that said, three for one twenty six, pretty 763 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 4: strong deal and a nice rebound for your guy Cohen. 764 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. And the other thing too, is to take this 765 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 3: from the twenty four hours after Kyle Tucker, you can 766 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 3: see the way baseball is going now. Fans are mad, 767 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 3: media members of the media are mad, right or wrong 768 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 3: about how the Dodgers are are doing. And they're doing 769 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 3: nothing ne farious. I would love my team to act 770 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 3: like the Dodgers, be able to put two billion dollars 771 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 3: on the books like the Dodgers. 772 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 4: But that's the thing, nothing nefarious. 773 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 3: Yet. 774 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna celebrate Carlos Carlos Beltrand getting into the Hall 775 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 4: of Fame match next for that. 776 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 3: But but the thing is, there's too much. There's too 777 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 3: much going downhill as far as baseball needing to do something, 778 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 3: either salary cap wise or free agency wise, because you 779 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 3: have're gonna have a lot of upset teams and upset 780 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 3: fans going into spring training because the Dodgers keep loading 781 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 3: up like this, there needs to be some sort of 782 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 3: way to go in where salary cap, luxury tax, whatever 783 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 3: it's going to be. By this time next year, there's 784 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 3: gonna be a big change in Major League Baseball because 785 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 3: too many entities from teams down to fans are really 786 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 3: upset and you can't have that negative optic of the 787 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 3: game going forward from either side. 788 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, you have the potential of the work stoppage, but 789 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 4: just real quickly, I hope they all show up at 790 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 4: forty to sixty dollars a pop for tickets, one hundred 791 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 4: for parking to show their displeasure. 792 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 3: Exit out Vanabresca, exit Swollen Dome.
