So. 39 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw in the news this week, 40 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: but I think the Athletic did an entire breakdown on this. 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: It's been five years since the NBA bubble. What is 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: the bubble? You say, Well, in twenty twenty, we experienced 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: a worldwide pandemic called COVID nineteen and sports didn't know 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: what the hell to do, so at some point somebody 45 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: came up with the idea of let's all go into 46 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: this very was it a clean environment. I don't even 47 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: know what the word is to call it, but yeah, Bubba, 48 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: let's call it the bubble. It's in Orlando, I want 49 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: to say. And let's play some presis season game Apcot Center, 50 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: wasn't it. Let's play some regular season games and then 51 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 3: we'll play some playoffs and it'll all be in this 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 3: one sequestered area where nobody's allowed inside. We're gonna play 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: with no fans. And of course the Lakers won the championship. 54 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: I remember most from that whole thing, Kyrie Irving encouraging 55 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: people not to go. You know the details better than 56 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: I do. Doug. 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Kyrie Ever hopped on a call and was like, yeah, 58 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: we we don't need to do anything for them, them 59 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: being the league basically trying to get guys to not 60 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: go to the bubble. And he did not go with 61 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, which is crazy and undermined Jock Vaughn, who 62 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: at the time was head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. 63 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: Now he's associated coach with with with Kansas. The bubble 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: thing is fascinating. Just that that whole year is going 65 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: to be studied for years and years to come. It 66 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: has changed how we work, changed how we'd live, change 67 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: how we value time time with family. I miss a 68 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: good I missed the the quote unquote lockdown time that time. 69 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: This is to your point, Jase Stu earlier, was it 70 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: did give you unfiltered time with your kids and what 71 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: anything going on. 72 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 4: That was both a blessing and a curse though, Like 73 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 4: if you had to educate your children at home and 74 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 4: maybe they were like three four years old or seven 75 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 4: eight years old, they're probably driving you nuts and you 76 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 4: were miserable. 77 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 5: I think it came at just the right time in 78 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 5: our technology too, Like I don't think most people had 79 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 5: known what zoom is before the pandemic, and stead no 80 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 5: I knew it was now I've been like, yeah, my 81 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 5: grandmother is in a nursing home and we are facetiming 82 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 5: her or zooming with her like all the time. I 83 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 5: feel like that's kind of really standardized our idea of 84 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 5: just remote talking to people. It also started a lot 85 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 5: more work from home. Yeah, I mean I know I 86 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 5: had done some remote work and other jobs in the past, 87 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 5: but this definitely was the start of I think a 88 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 5: lot of people just deciding, Hey, why do I need 89 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 5: to drive an hour into the office that I can 90 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 5: do everything from here. As you said, it really changed 91 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 5: how we kind of went through our whole society. 92 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 4: If we could go back to that sterile bubble for 93 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 4: a moment, the New Zealand, and not really that's sterile, 94 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 4: just considering how many guys kind of come in and out, Like, 95 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: wasn't James Harden at Magic City or something? 96 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, one guy didn't one guy escape? 97 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: It was like it was like the Great Escape, you know, 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: tunneling under the underground and popped up so he could 99 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 4: get out and go to Magic City. It was some 100 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,119 Speaker 4: player that got busted for sneaking out to a strip club. 101 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 4: But I'd like to go back to this, uh, this 102 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: not sterile bubble. The New Zealander. Steven Adams, longtime NBA veteran. 103 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: I don't know how quotable he is, but I did 104 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: pull one drop from the pandemic and Steven Adams when 105 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 4: he was talking about the living arrangements. 106 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 3: A bloody result, We're living in a bloody result. So 107 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: I love that because it's just his accent and bloody result. 108 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: I mean, we're living in a bloody resort. What are we? 109 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 4: What are we doing here? So uh, that was one 110 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 4: little clip there from the great Steven Adams. 111 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 5: It's funny you mentioned that because I right before the 112 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 5: pandemic hit, right before we all started to really learned 113 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 5: what COVID nineteen was. I was actually in Vegas for 114 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 5: what I believe was when the last weekends everything on 115 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 5: the strip was open. My dad and I went to 116 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 5: the Belagio. We were seeing a couple shows over at 117 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 5: at Caesar's and like gambling on some it would have 118 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 5: been the college football basketball conference was I think it 119 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 5: was conference weekend. Yeah, everything was shut down. 120 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 4: Remember, like Fred Heuberg got like the flu, but it 121 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 4: was when everything was starting to shut down during conference tournaments, right, 122 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 4: and everybody thought Fred Heuberg had COVID, but he was 123 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 4: just really like just coming down with something on the 124 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 4: sidelines and looking all rough. 125 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 5: I was working with our friend Bernie Fratto, who does 126 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 5: a game who used to do a gambling show on 127 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 5: the weekend Frustrate out of Vegas, and like I remember 128 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 5: when the last thing on the Vegas boards was William 129 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 5: and Hill had a line for a sumo wrestling tournament 130 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 5: in Japan, which was being held behind closed doors. But 131 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 5: it was that important to the culture that it's like, 132 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 5: we have to have this also much like the bubble, 133 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 5: no spectators, but it was the last thing you could 134 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 5: bet on before there was a whole summer of sports whatsoever. 135 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you it's so funny.

They were talking about 173 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 5: trying to pump in crowd noise or cover the virtual 174 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 5: fans we had, like virtual fans for like NFL games 175 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 5: or something. 176 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was like CGI fans. I was unemployed 177 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 3: for the first time. I got let go by Fox 178 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 3: Sports TV in the middle of the pandemic, and the 179 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: first job I got was a contract job for virtual fans, 180 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 3: so the people that you saw on the screen reacting 181 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: in real time at NFL games. I was a part 182 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: of that production. That was the most random job I've 183 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: ever had, and it's a job I can't return to 184 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: because that job doesn't exist.

I did. 186 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 5: I think the athletics could really use some virtual fans 187 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 5: once they moved to Vegas. 188 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: I have my my personal story.

I don't know about you guys, but 248 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 3: I associate this song most with the funeral for Kobe Bryant. 249 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: They played this at the services, and of course in 250 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: twenty twenty when we were all making our way to 251 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, I was at least I got the 252 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 3: news on the plane to Miami that Kobe had passed. 253 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 3: But I always remember this song. I was always associated 254 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 3: with Kobe and them playing at the funeral. 255 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was a tough, traumatic time, and 256 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: full disclosure. Living in Newport Beach, my daughter had gone 257 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: to school with Gigi and basically everybody in that plane, 258 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: and her best friend was on that plane, and it 259 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: was a hard, hard time. I ward time. 260 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 4: I was with Steve Hartman, Rich Ornberger, your former producer. 261 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 5: Getting the Dream, Living the Dream. 262 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 4: I was with your former producer Gavin Kinsell, former Update 263 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: anchor David Gaskin. We were all on the air doing 264 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 4: our Fox Red Zone radio show. When we got word 265 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 4: that Kobe had perished in a helicopter crash. It was 266 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 4: just it was just it was a different world we 267 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 4: were living in in that moment, and that was just 268 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 4: a strange heartbreaking way to start the COVID season. And 269 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: so we had we had Kobe kind of you know, 270 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 4: his death starting just sort of this you know year 271 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 4: of just you know, being up ended. I remember the 272 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 4: Big Ten season, like we were all they were trying 273 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 4: to figure out should we have this season? First it 274 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 4: was what canceled right then they're like, now we can't 275 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 4: cancel that, We'd lose so much money. So the Big 276 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 4: Ten started late. I think they played eight games. They're 277 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 4: supposed to, you know, play ten games. 278 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: Six Iowa started Western one all of them day is 279 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: up is down, day as night as white. 280 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 4: But you know what you want it, so yes, up, 281 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 4: up is down, days night, black is white. Iowa under 282 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 4: Brian Farrence had the third best scoring offense in the 283 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: Big Ten. 284 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: This that year. 285 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 4: They started out the Big Ten season the you know, 286 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 4: a shorter season oh to two, losing a couple of 287 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 4: weird games, and then they ripped off six straight wins 288 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 4: and they were just pounding people. And then they were 289 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 4: supposed to play Michigan and they're suppsed to play Missouri 290 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 4: and a bowl game, and then unfortunately those games got canceled. 291 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 4: But I look at that offense, it's just this weird, 292 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know if it's because there's nobody 293 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 4: in the stands, but they were just pummeling people. Also, 294 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 4: a lot of teams had COVID, Wisconsin, Penn State, all 295 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: kinds of disorder, so Iowa was just pouncing on them 296 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 4: right there. That was when the Brian Farrens offense actually worked. 297 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: It was a thing of beauty that if I didn't 298 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 4: have Iowa football that year, I would have been just 299 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 4: so much more depressed. 300 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 5: I think my greatest regret from that year sports wise 301 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 5: was I've been to two Olympics in my life, Atlanta 302 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 5: and Sydney. I want to go to more. I love 303 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 5: the Olympics, and I had wanted to go to Japan. 304 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 5: It was my dream to go to Tokyo twenty twenty. 305 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 5: I'd made a bunch of arrangements and COVID blasted them 306 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 5: all to smitherings. It was still going on, but honestly, 307 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 5: like I couldn't be there. There was no one there. 308 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 5: It took a lot of sale out of the Olympics 309 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 5: for me. And I was at home instead of in Japan, 310 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 5: and I was at home watching a bunch of movies 311 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 5: on streaming services because that's what we were doing instead 312 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 5: of the theaters too. It's like everyone got into movies 313 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 5: being streaming at that same time too. 314 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember Joe zat. 315 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: For the Dodgers. The Dodgers win the World Series and 316 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: it was on during Halloween. 317 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 5: I hate the Mickey Mouse talk from these years too, 318 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 5: like just Mickey Mouse Championships, all of that. I hate 319 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 5: that talk. 320 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: It just I think it's very different. 321 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 5: Sure, but I think we've had other shortened seasons as 322 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 5: well that just don't get the scene kind of screwtin me. 323 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 3: I feel I've another bloody result. I want to mention 324 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: one thing before we leave. 325 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 4: So Ohio State ended up and Dan it's not gonna 326 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 4: let me bringing this up because it's probably not a 327 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 4: great memory for him. The Buckeyes, though, ended up, you know, 328 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: pulling away from Northwestern in the title game. They went 329 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 4: on to play an Alabama team thirteen to zero. They 330 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 4: played a full season pretty much. A lot of people 331 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 4: regard that Alabama team as being like Nick Saban's best 332 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 4: or one of his best, ended up pulling away from 333 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 4: a very very good Ohio State Buckeyes team fifty two 334 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 4: to twenty four. 335 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: And that is don't call it a cut, don't call 336 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: it a throwback Thursday? 337 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 3: A throwback Thursday? 338 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: Where's the Doug Gottlieb Show?

DK is a college football analyst. Of course, 360 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: he played at Florida State the nash Football League. Covers 361 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: it for a living as well. He got his own 362 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: radio show. You see him on TV. He does a 363 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 1: little bit of everything, Dave, Let's start with arch Manning. 364 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like he's the only player that 365 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: everybody knows about in college football, right, Like he's the guy. 366 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: And especially with transfer portal guys moving here or there, 367 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: what do you think of him as a player? Like, 368 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: how good is he actually from your perspective? 369 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: Boy, that's the million dollar question. I don't think there's 370 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 2: been a player in college football that I can remember. 371 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe Tim Tebow, but even that hype wasn't 372 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: at this level that it is with Arch Manning. I mean, 373 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: I think Lebron James maybe coming out of high school 374 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 2: when he had a cover of sports illustrators had this 375 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 2: much hype as like a young player, but he's obviously 376 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 2: skipped college. But he's he's got the skill set. I mean, 377 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: I get why there's a lot of you know, it 378 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 2: goes past the name. It's not just his uncles and 379 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: his dad, who was a great player before he hurt 380 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: his back. It really is the flashes that we've seen 381 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: as a young player because he didn't get to start 382 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 2: a couple games last year, came in even in relief 383 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: a couple times of quinn ewers last year. We saw 384 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: him with a mobility that we didn't see from Eli 385 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 2: or Payton like. So that's exciting. But he looks like 386 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: the total package. But we truly don't know how he's 387 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: going to be like under that cauldron of because it's 388 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 2: a whole other level. Like everyone loved the young talented backup, 389 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: even if your name isn't arch Banding, even if you're 390 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 2: just a five star, and you never know how somebody's 391 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: going to respond on the bright lights under pressure, and 392 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 2: boy are they going to be pretty bright that open 393 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 2: air opener when he plays in Columbus at the Shoe. 394 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: I think he'll be good. I think it might take 395 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: some time. Like I think it could be a little 396 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 2: bit bumpy, but I mean bumpy means maybe they're only 397 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: ten and two as opposed to twelve and oho. That's 398 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: because he's got so much supporting town like Texas has 399 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: got to a spot where their roster is so stacked. 400 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 2: Even when they lose players, they're plugging in new ones. 401 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: So I don't expect Arch to be a total bust. 402 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: I think it just depends on how much do you 403 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: think Texas is going to do this year? Probably hinges 404 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: on whether he's a superstar in year one or year two, 405 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 2: which I think is probably the more likely scenario. 406 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: Uh Klen de Boor, what is what does Alabama look 407 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: like this year? 408 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 2: They've got a really good defense, So that's the thing. 409 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 2: I think Alabama's kind of flying into the radar like 410 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 2: they had a blow stand, you know, blow their standard 411 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 2: blow in Nick saban standard last year. They lost their 412 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 2: bowl game to Michigan, so they got this bad taste 413 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: in their mouth. But they also have a quarterback that 414 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: I think is going to fit what Kaitlyn de Boor 415 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 2: wants to do at Alabama. Jalen Molro as good as 416 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 2: he was as a college quarterback, and we did see 417 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 2: him get drafted in the third round. I thought he 418 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 2: had some limitations in the passing game really with the 419 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 2: pocket passing stuff. He was really good at the deep ball. 420 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: He was an electric runner, but he was very in 421 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: consistent in the mid range passing game. I think they're 422 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: going to go with ty Simpson, who's been there for 423 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: three years. He's been in quarterback battles. I actually appreciate 424 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 2: that he's stuck around and kind of waited for this opportunity. 425 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: But I think he's going to be somebody you'll feel 426 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: a little bit more of a traditional passer. They have 427 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 2: Ryan Williams too, who I know everyone once talking about 428 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith, the unbelievable receiver at Ohio State, but last 429 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: year he and Alabama's Ryan Williams, who was another true freshman, 430 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: will kind of go in toe to toe with highlight 431 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 2: real plays. I think he's going to be better. They've 432 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 2: got a couple other wide receivers there that are pretty talented, 433 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 2: So I think they're going to get better quarterback next season. 434 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: And if their defenses is good what most people think 435 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: it's going to be, they're going to be contending for 436 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: the SEC championship once again. And Calen de Moore better hope. 437 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 2: So because the word and I talk to a lot 438 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: of people in Tuscaloosa that if they don't make the playoffs, 439 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 2: he's going to be on the hot seat already, which 440 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 2: is kind of crazy, but that's the Alabama standard. 441 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. James Franklin has done a great job 442 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt, a great job Penn State with reception of 443 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: when you play people that actually matter, right yep. And 444 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: at Vandy you could go, hey, they're Vandy, You're not 445 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: supposed to beat the big boys. But at Penn State 446 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: it's different. Huge expectations for his team. Can they live 447 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: up to them? 448 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: I think they can, Like I've really been impressed. You 449 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 2: mentioned against top five teams at Penn State, James Franklin 450 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: is one in fifteen. He only has one win over 451 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 2: a top five opponent and that was Ohio State back 452 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen. He's come up short. Even last year, 453 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: as good as they went, they won a couple of 454 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: playoff games, they did not get that top five win. 455 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 2: Like they're still looking for it. So but the thing 456 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 2: that I like about him is I think there's a 457 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: commonality with the last two national champions. Michigan won it 458 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: two years ago, Ohio State won it last year, and 459 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: there was almost a team mantra, like you saw guys 460 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 2: pass up the NFL to come back just to win 461 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: a national championship. And that's what they have. They've got 462 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 2: both running back Cathron Allen and Nick Singleton both could 463 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: have gone to the NFL. They decided to come back. Center. 464 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: Who's a really great, you know, offensive lineman, Nick Dawkins. 465 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: He's actually Darryl Dawkins's son, the Chocolate Thunder. That's his 466 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: son that's still playing. And he's he's he came back. 467 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 2: He could have done the NFL. So you got an 468 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: offensive line. Drew Aller is a young quarterback, and I 469 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: really think that Drew Aller probably has maybe more pressure 470 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: on him than even James Franklin because he's been really good, 471 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 2: but on the biggest stages he's come up short, like 472 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: he's just kind of come up flat. If you go 473 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: back to that playoff game against Notre Dame, did not 474 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 2: compete complete one pass to a wide receiver, and you know, 475 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter drive, they put it on his shoulders 476 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: with a minute to go and he throws an interception. 477 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: Notre Dame kicks a field goal and the game's over. 478 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: So he's got a ton of pressure on him, but 479 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: I talked to all of them. I talked to all 480 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 2: these players last week in Las Vegas. They don't seem 481 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: overwhelmed by the pressure. It's more of a challenge for them. 482 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: And the thing that I love hearing from James Franklin 483 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 2: is like, this is where most programs wish they could be. 484 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 2: Where you're getting pressure to win a national championship like 485 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 2: ten and two isn't good enough. I think that's probably 486 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 2: the proper mindset, and I think they're like, I love 487 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: their mindset. I think they're confident. I think they've got 488 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 2: a veteran team, so I do think they're boys to 489 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 2: sort of break that curse versus the best opponents they face. 490 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Tridio. Danny Canell 491 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: is our guest, d Q. Let's we've done a lot 492 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: of the South right, We've done some Penn State. What 493 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: about Lincoln Riley and USC. First year, obviously they flipped 494 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: that thing around. Second year became a lot of disappointment, 495 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: and you know, now he's had a lot of staff 496 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: turnover as well. What do the Trojans look like? 497 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: So they're a team another team I think that's kind 498 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 2: of flying under the radar, Like you know, either it's 499 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 2: Ohio State to repeat, it's Penn State, maybe even Oregon 500 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 2: to go back to back in the Big Ten title, 501 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 2: even though they ask some questions. But USC is a 502 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: program that I think the pressure is starting to build 503 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 2: for Lincoln Riley, and you mentioned it, he fired his 504 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: strength coach like late this offseason. I think he saw 505 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: a deficiency there really in toughness. And you know, the 506 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 2: strength coach is arguably the most important position on a 507 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: college football stat staff, especially because you're dealing with young players. 508 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but like from the time 509 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: I was eighteen to twenty two was just a massive 510 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: like maturity strength building time when your body really starts 511 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 2: to take shape as an adult, and if you maximize that, 512 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 2: that's when you can get the most out of your team. 513 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: And they just have fallen short in that area. A 514 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 2: little bit curious what they did at quarterbacks. So last 515 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 2: year they had Miller Moss and then they benched him 516 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 2: for Jade Mayeva, who was a transfer that came in, 517 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 2: and Lincoln Riley felt good enough about Maeva that he 518 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: did not hit the portal. He didn't go out and 519 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: try to sign one of the bigger names that was 520 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: available in the portal. So he feels pretty good about it. 521 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 2: And they do have a lot of players returning on 522 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball, and they were so 523 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: here's and I asked Lincoln Roley this last week because 524 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 2: they were close last year and that's the worst thing 525 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 2: that any fan base wants to hear, right, you don't 526 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 2: want to hear your team is close, want to hear excuses. 527 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: But they really were. They had a ton of one 528 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 2: possession games. Penn State comes to mind. They're playing at 529 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: the coliseum at home. They have that game, you know, 530 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: within a possession, they end up giving it up, losing 531 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: overtime to Penn State. Notre Dame is another one couple 532 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: pick sixes in that game, totally flips like on a dime. 533 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 2: So I think this is a team that is close, 534 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: but nobody wants to hear about close, and it's got 535 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: to be about the results for Lincoln Riley and USC. 536 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: But I do think the Big ten is so like 537 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 2: after you get past the top three teams, which really 538 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: are Ohio State, Penn State, and Oregon Michigan right behind there. 539 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: But I feel like USC should be right in that 540 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: conversation is sort of the next man up, and I 541 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 2: do think that being the case, they should be in 542 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 2: that conversation for the playoffs late. And if they're not, 543 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 2: it's another team where I think USC is gonna have 544 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: some serious soul search and do what to do at 545 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 2: the head coaching position. I know he's probably got a 546 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 2: massive buyout because it was a super you know, a 547 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: super high price tag that Lincoln Riley came with. But 548 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 2: I do think is a critical year that Lincoln Riley's 549 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 2: got to step forward and take this program right back 550 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 2: towards the top of the Big ten. 551 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: Stutt Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Tradier Danny Caneo 552 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: as our guest. We haven't mentioned any Big twelve teams right, 553 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: and Arizona State came from nowhere to somewhere in the 554 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: Big twelve miles Mount Oaklama State beats Arkansas, then completely 555 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: falls apart, becomes discombobulated. It's a league that before the 556 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: season last year, could have gotten two teams locked in 557 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: to the playoff, didn't roll the dice and that turned 558 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: out to backfire. What do you think with the Big 559 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: Twelve this year? 560 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 3: I do so. 561 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 2: Brett Yormark, their commissioner. He loves selling the conference as 562 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 2: the deepest conference in college football, which is I think 563 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 2: it's both a blessing and a curse because you're almost 564 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 2: better served to have one great team and like ACC 565 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: might be in a better position because Clenson's a heavy favorite. 566 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: They're almost a lock to make the College Football Playoff 567 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: and they should be eleven and one or ten and two. 568 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 2: And in that conversation, the Big Twelve is extremely competitive, 569 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: but there's not a lot of separation between the top 570 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 2: team and probably the tenth or eleventh team. You know, 571 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 2: there's just a like in it. But even as I 572 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: say that, last year, Arizona State was predicted to finish 573 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: last and they were supposed to have four and a 574 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 2: half wins, and they go out and win the whole thing. 575 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 2: That's the type of conference it is. I think it's 576 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 2: extremely wide open. They've got probably the most interesting case 577 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 2: study though, in Texas Tech. Because Texas Tech, and I'm 578 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 2: sure you've talked about the story, They've got a booster 579 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: out there, Cody Campbell, who played at Texas Tech as 580 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 2: an offensive lineman. He's a young billionaire. He's only in 581 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 2: his forties and he's basically been the te Boone Pickens 582 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 2: or the Phil Knight of you know, famous boosters who 583 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 2: really helped put their programs on the map or put 584 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 2: them back in position for a national championship. They've bought 585 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 2: the best roster in the Big Twelve this offseason. They 586 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 2: have the top portal class in the country, and a 587 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: lot of it's on the defensive side of the ball. 588 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 2: But we haven't seen that berimout. You know, just work. 589 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: And we see it in baseball, where the highest spending 590 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 2: team doesn't always win. Sometimes they do. But in a 591 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: sport like football, it's such a continuity game where you 592 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 2: want chemistry and you want players all doing the same thing, 593 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 2: and execution is so important. With eleven guys, you know, 594 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 2: not one can screw up that. Can they do this 595 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: in one year? And the good news is they weren't 596 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 2: awful last year. They were pretty good at eight wins. 597 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: But can they push through? And if they do, I 598 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: think it could encourage other billionaire boosters. There aren't many 599 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 2: of them to follow the same suit, so it's a 600 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 2: ton of pressure on their head. Coach Joy maguire, But 601 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 2: it's a very interesting case study. But it's filled with teams. 602 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: Arizona State I think is going to be right there again. Utah, 603 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: who had a bad first year in the Big twelve 604 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: after moving from the PAC twelve. I think they could 605 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: be right towards the top. They were at the top 606 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 2: of the pack twelve before they left there. Kansas State failure. 607 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 2: I mean there are legitimately five to six teams that 608 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: can make a case for and say yep, I could 609 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 2: see them winning and even saying that it might be 610 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: a team that I don't even give you because it is. 611 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: That wide open, awesome stuff. Tq DK. Can't wait to 612 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: see you on the TV.

Still about I would say two 642 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 5: hours to go? Do you have any thoughts on some 643 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 5: of the big ones. I mean, just just go over 644 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 5: some of the top names. Carlos care is going back 645 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 5: to the Astros, but the Dodgers are picking There's a 646 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 5: lot of moving parts as far as pictures right now. 647 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 5: I know the Dodgers picked up Brock Stewart from the Twins. 648 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: There's a problem with the Dodgers where he he's never 649 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: heard of these guys. 650 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 5: Well, I was just in the back, and I think 651 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 5: uh Brie, one of our sound editors, was kind of 652 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 5: bereft for what the Dodgers had given up to get Hire, 653 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 5: get him. 654 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 3: But yeah, but A J. 655 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 5: Peler seems to be aggressive. I know, I don't know 656 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 5: how far back the Padres are right now, but they 657 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 5: have made it like five movie B E aggressive. 658 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: A B E A G A G G R E 659 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: S E S S I V E aggressive b E aggressive. 660 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 5: It just feels like this trade deadline in particular, I've 661 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 5: seen a lot of teams a lot more aggressive than 662 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 5: they've usually been. 663 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: Well, that's because there's more teams involved that can make 664 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs right. That's the whole idea of expanding the 665 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: playoffs is what more teams think they got a chance. 666 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: More you get a chance, more you're around, more people 667 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: putting it in the stadiumre people put in the state, 668 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: the more money you make. 669 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 3: I think the Astros have officially told the sports world 670 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 3: they no longer give a crop about that reputation they 671 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 3: have as cheaters. I remember a part of them allowing 672 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 3: Carlos Carrea to go off into that wild free agency 673 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 3: that he did was kind of a that's one person 674 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 3: less that is going to be associated with that twenty 675 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 3: seventeen team. Sure, ol Twove's been there the whole time. 676 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 3: I was caught heckling him at a game. Recently, al 677 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 3: Twove has been the one guy. And then they bring 678 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 3: back Korea and they're like, screw it. So that gives 679 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 3: me one more player to hate on that team this year. 680 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: Thank you? 681 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: Just like serious question, is Carlos Korea any good anymore? 682 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 3: Not? Really? No, he hasn't been close to what he 683 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 3: was when he was last an Astro. 684 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, when he knew what pitches were coming, he was 685 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: really good. 686 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, when he knew the pitches. That makes it easier, 687 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 3: it really does. But no, that's hey. 688 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: You know when I have when I have the questions 689 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: to the test, I'm way better at tests. 690 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 5: He's right now batting two sixty seven right now with 691 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 5: a OPS of seven oh four. 692 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: Here's the problem with what you did. You went from 693 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: like batting average, which is like old school stats, to OPS, 694 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: which is fairly new schooling. 695 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 5: And I I feel like there's a lot of stats. 696 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 5: There are a lot more new new schoolly than ops though, 697 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 5: And I think that's my trouble, Like, look, I'm more 698 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 5: of a football guy. I feel like OPS slugging on 699 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 5: base percentage does almost feel like middle aged stats now 700 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 5: because you know there's a lot more status. 701 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: You're right they are, But again, you have to give context. 702 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: If you say, what's he what's his OPS? 703 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 5: Zero point seven oh four? 704 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: Okay, do you know what most people will driving around think, Chris, 705 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: I know that's just numbers. Does that sound good? Is 706 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: that good? That sounds good to me? 707 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 3: So it's not. It's not great. It's not great, Bobs, 708 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 3: that is it bad? 709 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: Is it good? 710 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 3: Is it? 711 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, just just for you say like 712 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: he's one of the top ten players in OPS, you 713 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: say he's one of the bottom ten players OPS average 714 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: sixty seven, and we're like, well, I don't know that 715 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: that doesn't sound great. It's batting average. But there are 716 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: to sixty seven that we considered to be great players. 717 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: Why because they're on base all the time, you know, 718 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: or they hit a ton of home runs. So the 719 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: people you think, if you're going to provide some form 720 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: of new eight, the old statistics don't work because nobody 721 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: cares about him anymore except for home runs more than RBI. 722 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 3: Just for a gat new ones. 723 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: Go ahead, take it, Doug. 724 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 3: I'll take it from here. Okay, if you if you 725 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 3: hit over eight hundred ops, that's above average. The elite 726 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 3: players Aaron Judge, Shohey et over one thousand. Yeah, so 727 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 3: seven hundred to eight hundred is like average mid mediocre. 728 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 3: He's a mediocre player who makes a lot more than 729 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 3: he should. 730 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: Is he mid? 731 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 3: Or is he sus sus? 732 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 5: I think sus like you were talking about. When he 733 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 5: knew what pitches were coming, he was like a nine 734 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 5: hundred ops. 735 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, well he used to be a star. Now he's 736 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: just a guy. 737 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, just a guy's a jag all right. 738 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 6: Uh. 739 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 5: Speaking of guys out there, John Harbaugh had a lot 740 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 5: of praise for his quarterback Lamar Jackson. We're getting into 741 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 5: that time of the year, We're starting to get a 742 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 5: lot of hype and getting a lot of teams. But 743 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 5: John was very aggressive with his praise. Let's take a listen. 744 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 6: Well, there's so many things, and Lamar is a person. 745 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: That's the thing. 746 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 6: Obviously I appreciate the most, the leader of the person, 747 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 6: the genuine human being that he is, and I just 748 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 6: I love him as a as a person. But I 749 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 6: think from a football standpoint, just go to the most basic, 750 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 6: simple thing. Lamar is a passer. He is a historically 751 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 6: good passer. And that's really quite a statement because of 752 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 6: the of the narrative that's been surrounding him ever since 753 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 6: the beginning. Lamar Jackson can throw the football. He can 754 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 6: throw it every kind of way you make, every kind 755 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 6: of throw, any kind of way you want. He's as 756 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 6: good as any guy, any pastor that has ever been. 757 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 6: And I think now the numbers are proven that. So 758 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 6: that's the thing I'm kind of a little bit proud of, 759 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 6: but also a little bit like, Okay, here we go. 760 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 3: What have we learned from that? 761 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 6: You know, you can take a big picture, you can 762 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 6: say from a society standpoint, football standpoint, what have we 763 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 6: learned from that? What kind of question do we ask ourselves? 764 00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 6: But Mar Jackson as a passer is historically great, No, 765 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 6: he's not. 766 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: I mean, if he is, then he's a choke artist 767 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Yeah. 768 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 5: I just don't think that that reputation is not there 769 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 5: yet at all for Lamar Jackson. 770 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: Might never be all let me, let me help you 771 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: out here. Okay, so here's the falloff last like his 772 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: in the regular season. In the regular season, forty one touchdowns, 773 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: four interceptions. That's unbelievable. So he's right in that context, 774 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: that was Lamar Jackson last year should have been the 775 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: MVP in eight career playoff games. That's half of a season. Okay, 776 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: they're three and five. Can't put it all on him. 777 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 1: Seventeen hundred yards passing, it's fine, right, it's like thirty 778 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 1: five hundred yards. That's below average. Grated Weather's worse. Ten touchdowns, 779 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: seven interceptions. He's also fumbled the ball seven times in 780 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 1: the playoffs. 781 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 3: Yeah. 782 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: So either he's just a choke artist and not good 783 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I don't think that's the case, or 784 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: in the playoffs people try and make him beat him 785 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: with his arm and that's not what he does best. 786 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson is great. I think there's a 787 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: he's not as bad a passer. And by the way, 788 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: when people said he wasn't a good passer coming out, 789 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: myself included He's proved a lot of it wrong. But 790 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: no one's like he couldn't throw a football. It was 791 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: for the NFL to be a. 792 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 5: Passer, all right, real quick? Last one here, So a 793 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 5: big scrip in the world of can drinks.
