The players. Well, 8 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: we'll find out a little bit more coming up here 9 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: in a little bit eight seven seven three d P 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: Show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: handle at DPS show. Cutdown day in the NFL, and 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on some of the names, recognizable names. 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how many big names, but the Cowboys 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: have cut their quarterback Ben Denucci, and the Patriots have 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: cut a player named d Virgin and Paulie had Or No, 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: it was Fritzy who had a little joke with Deep Virgin. 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: It's a very small joke. What did d Virgin tell 18 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick after being told he was cut? I don't know, Todd, 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: what did he tell? I thought you said, no experience necessary. Okay, 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: that's not bad, it's all right, it's serviceable. Yeah, but 21 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on some of the other names 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: that are going to be cut this stut. Now, if 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: you're cut, can you ask for your game jersey? How 24 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: does that work? Do they let you back in the building? 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Because on hard knocks when you're cut, the guy walks 26 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: up to you and walks you right up to whatever 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: coach's office and then they walk you to the travel 28 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: desk and they get a ticket you're gone. Or do 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: they allow you clean out your locker? I don't know 30 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: how that works. But if you get cut, are you 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: getting cut before you get to the facility? Ross Tucker 32 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: are good buddy? The former NFL offensive lineman just retweeted 33 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: something yes, poland Yeah. Ross is kind of an expert 34 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: witness on this being cut in the NFL. He said, quote, 35 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: you don't have access to your jersey when to cut 36 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: you the equipment guy's habit. You could ask the equipment 37 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: guy for it, and some will just give it to you. 38 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: Some teams will payroll deduct you and then give you 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: the jersey like one hundred and fifty bucks or whatever. 40 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: Would you want it? Yeah? Yeah, Even though it's it 41 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: reminds you of getting fired, but it also reminds me 42 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: of I got a chance to get fired, and I 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: got fired in the preseason. Cut it cut sounds better 44 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: than fired. I got cut. Fired sounds like you really 45 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: did something bad. I just got cut. There was no 46 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: room for me. Yeah, see right, Like, I don't know 47 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: that people who got that far, but you know, maybe 48 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: they got cut, or maybe they would. I don't think 49 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: that there's like any shame in that, or they're embarrassed 50 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: if they're like, dang, I made it further than ninety 51 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of the people I played with. Yeah, 52 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: when I was encouraged to not come back to Eastern Kentucky, 53 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: I kept my jersey and my warm up pants. I 54 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: don't know if they knew that I took them. They 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 1: cared that I took them, but if I don't even 56 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: have them anymore. My wife was cleaning out, you know, 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: I save everything, and my wife looked at this jersey 58 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: and she said, you know, it was just like a 59 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: ratty jersey, and she gave it to Goodwill. And it 60 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: took her two years to admit to me because I 61 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: kept looking for this jersey. I'm like, it's it's purple 62 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: or maroon. And she knew that she had thrown it 63 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: away or given it to Goodwill, And I just kept thinking, 64 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: where is this jersey? And she finally said, I have 65 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: something to tell you. At that point in our relationship, 66 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: I didn't know what she was going to tell me. 67 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: And then she goes, I gave away your basketball jersey 68 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: and I said, well why, Well that sounded like Luke Wilson, 69 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: didn't it. Yeah? Yeah, yeah why? And she said I 70 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: just thought it was like it was not a jersey. 71 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: You wanted to keep it look like a rag. And 72 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: I said, well that I mean I made it look 73 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: like a rag because I played so hard and I 74 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: hustled and I sweated and there's probably blood on there. 75 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: She's I didn't see any of that. I said, okay, 76 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: but I didn't looked like it was worn. No, it wasn't. No, 77 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: was it technically game used? It was technically technically game used. Yeah. Yeah, 78 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: that's why I thought she wouldn't throw it away because 79 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: it probably looked brand new. And uh, she who would 80 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: Goodwill went to Goodwill and took that jersey and went, yep, 81 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: I want to have Eastern Kentucky number thirty two jersey. Yeah, Paul, 82 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: do you want the I team to track it down. No, 83 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: it cost a couple of bucks. No. Remember when we 84 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: had the guy on who would go to breakfast and 85 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: he would see my former coach at breakfast, and and 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: I said, we'll go up to UH to coach Bob Monkey. 87 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: I said, what, he may not remember me. I just 88 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: know that he wants to forget me. That's when you 89 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: go in. He said, coach, I'm I'm thinking about transferring. Yeah, 90 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: I think that's a good idea. And he called me 91 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: Golden boy too, So yeah, some great, great memories there 92 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: at Eastern Kentucky. That's a good idea. Yeah, I think 93 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: it's a good idea. Oh man, yeah, that is spared 94 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: a tough conversation. Yeah, it wasn't gonna be a tough 95 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: conversation for him. Here's a bus ticket. Because he had 96 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: his back to me in his office when I walked in, 97 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: I said, coach, I'm thinking about transferring. He goes, I 98 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: think that's a good idea. Didn't even turn around. I went, 99 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: all righty, well, thank you, coach. My parting gifts square. 100 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: Let me steal my jersey and my my warm up pants. Yes, Todd, 101 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: he couldn't even take a moment to turn around. Now 102 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: that's so weird. It's all right, I'm sorry, But there's 103 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: certain colors where like the uniforms were maroon. I don't 104 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 1: want maroon. I hate maroon. And it's not just because 105 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: I had a bad experience at Eastern Kentucky. Maroon is 106 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: you can't work with maroon? Yeah you can. There's certain 107 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: colors where you go. I just I don't think I 108 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: could I could wear that, or maybe I wouldn't feel 109 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: as masculine as I needed to because I'm I'm wearing maroon. Yeah, poling, 110 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. A scene just goes. Don't you 111 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: like maroon? Paul? And I'm like, I'm more of a 112 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: Cranberry guy. It's a very specific nichelogies. And I went 113 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: to southern Illinois and I don't know that's an outfit 114 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: you wears, got Cranberry. I'm wearing maroon when I go 115 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: out on the floor. SIU was maroon and white, and 116 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: I never really mes wasn't white of a cream? Yes 117 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: you had maroon and cream, even worse you had cream? 118 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: Was it? Yes? White? So I was maroon in high 119 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: school and I looked like an idiot. We all did. 120 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: But then Kobe wore maroon on the same Jerry and 121 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: looked amazing at it. So is it the player or 122 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: the color? Well? I like the Laker colors, but if 123 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: Larry Bird wore those colors, Nope, wouldn't look good. Nope. 124 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: I there's certain guys when you see them in a 125 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: uniform and it feels like the uniform is spitting them 126 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: back out if right, like the year New Form is 127 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: saying no, no, get out of here, get this off, 128 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: get me off your body. Yeah, Pa, Well, are the 129 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Lakers colors and uniforms fantastic or they were? Were they 130 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: made fantastic? Because the Lakers are awesome? Like if you 131 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: would have you just went up to someone that helped 132 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: the Lakers jersey and they didn't know about the Lakers 133 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: history of success, would you say that's a good look 134 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: or would you say that's a weird mix of purple 135 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: and gold and yellow? No, it's gold. Yeah, the gold 136 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: is different because you know yellow and gold. That's different. 137 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: There was something about those Laker uniforms. The first time 138 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: I saw them in person was the early seventies when 139 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: the Lakers came to town in Cincinnati, and I remember 140 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: Jerry West had low cut Adidas white with the gold stripes, 141 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: and he had the gold wristbands, the gold uniform and 142 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: had the purple on it. I thought that looks great, 143 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: but I do think you have to be like the 144 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: uniform will make you look better, but then you have 145 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: to be really good. It feels like with some of 146 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: these colors that you put out there. Remember when Charlotte 147 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: had the Perry Ellis pinstripes, the teal like teal was 148 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: really big there, white and black. Yeah, but they were 149 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: a good team, whereas there's certain teams that aren't good 150 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: or they may have colors that you're that are questionable. There. Uh, yes, 151 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: he got another cut. Oh it's a banger. Okay, a 152 00:08:53,640 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: banger one to ten eleven eleven. He's not lying, Nick Foles. No, okay, 153 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: at least that's not who I'm talking about. Now, Okay, 154 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: give me a hint. Did you just give me one 155 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: by saying it's a banger? It is a banger? No? Um? Well, 156 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: our our interview from our one would have been much 157 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: different had we gotten this information. First, we had Tom Curran, 158 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: the NFL insider. Cam Newton gone, oh my god, yo, 159 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: right right, Cam Newton cut. We triple checked it. What 160 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: the heck? Wow? So are they going with like Mac 161 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: with Stidham still there he might be and Hoyer and Hoyer? 162 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: What did they do that? Because they were gonna start 163 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: Mac Jones and wanted to give him an opportunity to 164 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: play some place else that he didn't want to be 165 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. Damn uh Fritzie, you get ahold of 166 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Tom Kerran again. Why in the hell, mister insider didn't 167 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: know that Cam Newton could get cut today? Well, Dan, look, 168 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: anybody who's been watching preseason saw this coming. Okay, everybody 169 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: that was Jimmy Jimerson, I know that. No I was 170 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: gonna go to Jimmy Jimmerson or Insider, everybody paying attention 171 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: to its coming to a man, They knew that Cam 172 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: could could get cut. Yes, Mclub Curran, to his credit, 173 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: was the one who's saying he's been saying all that 174 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: Mac Jones is gonna say yes, And he said ninety 175 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: percent of his cohorts said that it was Cam. So 176 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: the strong majority said Cam Newton was going to start. 177 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: I thought that Bill playing Cam Newton a couple of 178 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: series meant usually that's the quarterback who's going to start 179 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: Week one Wow, that's exactly what ESPN, NFL Network we're 180 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: saying yesterday. But by the fact that Cam Newton was 181 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: playing with the ones, the starters, he was the starter 182 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: and and silly to speculate otherwise. I heard a lot 183 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: of that yesterday. Man the hammer. Now does he get 184 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: to keep his jersey? Yes? When he gets cut? I 185 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: don't know if he wants to keep, but direct deposit, yes, yes. 186 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: Mcluban and Dallas cut two of its backup quarterbacks today, 187 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: just saying did they know something? Philadelphia, Indianapolis? Where's Cam going? 188 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: There's a lot of that's the next big chapter? But 189 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: does he want to go knowing he's going to be 190 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback? But at this stage, it feels like 191 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: all of these teams realize who their starter is going 192 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: to be. And I don't know if you bring it, 193 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: like bringing in Cam Newton to be your starter. Can't 194 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: imagine that happening. Yeah, mclovin. Well, Philadelphia though, seems a 195 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: little more shaken than the other ones. Do you think 196 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: that would be a fit? I don't know. You're right, 197 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you're playing jail and Hurts, 198 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: you can play Cam Newton. But if you if you 199 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: really believe in is Cam better than Jalen Hurts? Is 200 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: Cam better than Gardner Minshew? I know it sounds crazy 201 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: to say that, but at this stage of his career 202 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: as a quarterback, is he better than those two? And 203 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I assume he's better than Jalen Hurts. 204 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's better than Gardner Minshew from 205 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: the passing standpoint here, Yeah, point, I think I said 206 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: this last year with Cam Newton. I know it's probably 207 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: too late in the game because the NFL season starts 208 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: in a week. He should go to the media for 209 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: a year. I think a lot of people would scoop 210 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: him up for a year, get healthy and look for 211 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: another job, or go the RG three route and say, 212 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: like I'm done with this bouncing team to team fighting 213 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: for snaps, grab a media job. He'll get one quick. Yeah, 214 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: but everybody's got their teams because you know that the 215 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: season started. Good Morning Football has got an opening. No, 216 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 1: they already they hired D'Angelo Hall. Yeah, yeah, I mean 217 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: not that you wouldn't make room for him, but I 218 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: don't know if Cam would want to take a year off. Yeah, McLevin. 219 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: Also remember COVID had knock out some starting quarterbacks. I 220 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: think backup quarterback might be more important. Wow, Cam Newton 221 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: got cut. Yeah, see, I wonder if he had any idea. 222 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: I think that's one that Bill had to bring him 223 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: in and probably say sit down. I don't think that's 224 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: where we're gonna let you know or your agent. No, 225 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: man at it. Dang, I'm shocked. I know Mac Jones 226 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: played extremely well. I just never thought that Bill Belichick 227 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: would go with the rookie to start this season. They 228 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: haven't since Bledsoe. If I told you a year ago, 229 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: Mac Jones will be the starting quarterback for the New 230 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: England Patriots, if I told you the day before the draft, 231 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: if I told you the day after the draft, Mac 232 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: Jones is going to be the starting quarterback. Rodney Harrison, 233 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: the former New England Patriot, he talked about this a 234 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: couple of days ago where he said, hey, there's no 235 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: question Mac Jones should be the starting quarterback. This isn't hey, Cam, 236 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: former MVP. You know you don't know him anything. That 237 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: Belichick would always preach you play the best people who 238 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: helped the team win, and Mac Jones gives you that's 239 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: one of those if you're a fantasy person and you've 240 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: already had your draft, and you're going, do I take Cam? 241 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: You know he rushes for all those touchdown big signings 242 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: in the offseason. Yeah, I mean like the person who 243 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: took Mac Jones. I don't know if Mac Jones puts 244 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: up big numbers, but you know that's one of those 245 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: you take a flyer late in the draft and you go, 246 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: I'll take Mac Jones. People go, yeah, why would you 247 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: take background? And then that person is probably tweeting today 248 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: going I took Macrones. Yeah, Bok. Remember we found out 249 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: his actually name is Michael mccorkole, Jones, Cork Mac, Mac McCorkle. 250 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: He should go by McCorkle. Remember Cam went to Cameron, 251 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: who was Cameron Newton went to Cam. You should go 252 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: the other way and go from Mac to McCorkle.

And Cam Newton 263 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: was on the list with Jamis Quinston. Matthew Stafford is 264 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: actually leading the list by a big distance. Wow, can 265 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: we do? Do we do a Cam Newton related poll question? Well, 266 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: I mean you could ask where he's going next. We 267 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: already got a bunch of tweet saying Houston Texans should 268 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: call him. That's mean. If you can't, okay, maybe you 269 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: go into the media for a year. You go to 270 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: the Texans.

He goes, yeah, I was surprised. 279 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: I said, why didn't you tweet or text me yesterday? 280 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: And he goes, I was busy, and I said, okay. 281 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: So I saw Jason Luck and for of CBS Sports 282 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: said the same thing, that basically a lot of hot 283 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: air here.

We knew what the 285 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: offer was, and now Miami backed away from this.

I thought he was 324 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: going to start for this team. But mac Jones, come 325 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: on in, you got the keys to the car. Mclovin 326 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: put out, where do you think Cam Newton will end up? 327 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: I think the Washington football team. If you put him 328 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: in there, that'd certainly be an interesting team. You got 329 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick there, but I love that Washington team and 330 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: put Cam in there. Well. We also had some people 331 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: saying maybe Cam could end up at Bishop Sycamore because 332 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: he might be right around the age that they bring 333 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: in those is it twosomes. Bailey Johnson covers high school 334 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: sports for the Columbus Dispatch and she joins us now. 335 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: First of all, Bailey, thanks for joining us. Being familiar 336 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: with the Columbus area myself, I had not heard of 337 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: an actual campus a high school called Bishop Sycamore. So 338 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: is there an actual campus high school called Bishop Sycamore 339 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: in the Columbus area. There is not, as far as 340 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: We're aware they do not have a campus or a 341 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: practice facility or really anything tangible at all. They practice 342 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: in a variety of indoor facilities that they rent out 343 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: for a day at a time, and that's pretty much it. 344 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 1: How did this happen that this is a school that 345 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: played I think six games last year, didn't win any 346 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: of these games, and then next thing you know, they're 347 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: playing a great football team on ESPN National TV. Yeah, 348 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: it's still a little bit unclear how the game came 349 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: to be scheduled. ESPN has told us that it was 350 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: scheduled by Paragon Marketing Group, and it's a little bit 351 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: unclear how Paragon got connected with the guys over at 352 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: Bishop Sycamore. And my understanding is there's another scheduling company 353 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: in the mix that sort of connected Bishop Sycamore with IMG. 354 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: I know they played last year at the end of 355 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: the Sycamore season. Last year they played IMG, so there 356 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: was clearly some sort of connection there to begin with. Frankly, 357 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: it's all still a little bit of a mystery how 358 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: they actually ended up playing this football game when they 359 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: clearly had no business doing it. Are these high school players, No, 360 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: most of them are not. Are they so they're over eighteen. 361 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: I have been told that the majority of them are 362 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: at least nineteen or twenty, if not older than that. 363 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: But is that a crime? Like if I think we've 364 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: seen this before where you have there was a high 365 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: school player who was like twenty eight years of age, 366 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: came in and was dominating high school basketball. But you're 367 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: playing against miners. I don't know what charges these coaches 368 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: are facing to begin with, but I don't know if 369 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: that's criminal as well. My understanding is that it isn't, 370 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: but you'd certainly think that it would be to have 371 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: them playing miners. I know there are other club teams 372 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: in certainly the Clumbus area and I imagine around the country, 373 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: because that's really what they are. They're not a school, 374 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: They're a club team at this point of a bunch 375 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: of guys just trying to play football. They're definitely questions 376 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: about how that works with the fact the most to 377 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: them are not under the age of eight team, and frankly, 378 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: the more concerning part is that some of them are 379 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: and should be getting a high school education right now 380 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: that they're not getting the coach, what can you tell 381 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: me about the head coach? Roy Johnson is the head 382 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: coach or it's possibly Andre Peterson. They kind of switch 383 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: back and forth on which one of them is truly 384 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: in charge. We know that Roy Johnson has done this before. 385 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: He ran an academy called CEF Academy here in Columbus 386 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago that ended up getting shut 387 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: down and it just kind of popped back up again, 388 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: same people, new name as Bishop Sycamore. This feels like 389 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: a scam, is it is? Yeah? Pretty much? Yeah? But 390 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: what are they What are they getting out of this? 391 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: What are they What are these coaches trying to pull 392 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: off here? Well, they're trying to and they do have 393 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: an admiral omission if they were accomplishing it correctly. They're 394 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: trying to take kids who are from maybe disadvantaged backgrounds 395 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: or need help getting to college and playing college football, 396 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: and they're trying to help them. But the overall impression 397 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: they just don't really know what they're doing and are 398 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: probably doing more harm than good. Have you reached out 399 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: to parents of these kids who were playing for Bishop Sycamore. 400 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: I've spoken to a parent whose son left the program 401 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: over the summer after originally joining them at the beginning 402 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: of the spring, and what did they say? He said, 403 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: it all sounded good in the beginning. His son graduated 404 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: from a school here in Columbus and was looking to 405 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: take a prep year to get better offers. After COVID 406 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: sort of didn't allow him to go to the camps, 407 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: he thought he would get to go to so they 408 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: signed on the Sycamore. He was going to be the 409 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. They were going to build a team around him, 410 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: and then just nothing ever materialized uniforms. They went on 411 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: the camp circuit and left hotels unpaid all around the 412 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: country and just all turned out to be quite shady, 413 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: and they left at the end of the summer. Do 414 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: they have a game schedule that they're still going to play? 415 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: They do, as far as I know, every game that 416 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: has been on their schedule, which includes they're supposed to 417 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: play this coming Friday, and I believe it's Tennessee. They're 418 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: supposed to play a couple of teams in Ohio, They're 419 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: supposed to play a team in Texas, and as far 420 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: as I know, all of those games are still on 421 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: as scheduled. But explain this to me, though, Bailey, that 422 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: they had a game. Was it forty eight hours prior 423 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: to the game on ESPN. Yes, they played Friday night 424 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. How does this happen? No, like nobody's nobody's 425 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: monitoring this. Like it's one thing for it to happen, 426 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: but it's another thing that you end up on ESPN 427 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: against a great team. Yeah, are coaches are really wonderful salesman. 428 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: I can tell you that I listened to them for 429 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: three hours on a Twitter conversation yesterday, and they could 430 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: sell a used car to a used car salesman. But 431 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable, honestly, what they've gotten a way 432 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: with here so far. They told us that only twelve 433 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: to fifteen of the players played in both games, and 434 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: they only played maybe a few snaps in the first 435 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: quarter and then played in the second half, that type 436 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: of thing. But from what we've seen on the tape 437 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: from both games, that's not the case. This is crazy. 438 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: And then you're hearing the these horror stories that you know, 439 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: maybe they were stealing food because they didn't have food. 440 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: There's a go fund Me page not paying hotel bills. 441 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: It you know, it feels like somebody's going to jail here, Bailey. 442 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: It does it very much does. I don't know of 443 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: anything at this point, but I can only imagine that 444 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: investigations are coming because, especially with the kids they have 445 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: that are under the age of eighteen, they have an 446 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: obligation to be providing them an education that they're not getting. 447 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: What's the local reaction in Columbus. A lot of people 448 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of split between, yeah, we knew these guys 449 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: were shady, this isn't surprising, and people who have never 450 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: heard of them. A lot of people really didn't know 451 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: this was happening, and the people who did are like, yeah, 452 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: we know Roy Johnson, He's done this before. This doesn't 453 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: shock us that the scam blew up on National tvay. 454 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: Is there an address? Do they list an address for 455 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: the school? The address that's registered with the state for 456 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: last school year, which, by the way, as far as 457 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: we're aware, they're not registered with the state for this 458 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 1: coming school year. The address that's listed is for an 459 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: indoor training facility about fifteen minutes outside of downtown, and 460 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: the people at that training facility have told us they 461 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: come in maybe once a month to use the weight 462 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: room for a little bit. Good luck with this, Bailey 463 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: sounds like a plumb assignment here of trying to untangle 464 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: this evil web here you have with and I don't 465 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: think there is an actual bishop named Sycamore? Is there? 466 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: I went to Catholic grade school. I didn't pay attention, 467 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: but I don't know if there's a Is it the 468 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: patron of lost causes like? Is there a Bishop Sycamore here? Bailey? 469 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: As far as I know, there is not. I did 470 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: see a tweet from Andrew Peterson, one of the leaders, 471 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: where he said the bishop basically means that he's the overseer, 472 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: and he's the overseer of the program, so I think 473 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: it comes from him somehow. That doesn't sound good, Bailey, 474 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us, Thank you for having me. That's 475 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: Bailey Johnson covers high school sports for the Columbus Dispatch. 476 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: It feels like the more questions you asked, the less 477 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: you know about what is going on and how they 478 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: pulled this off. And ESPN is distanced himself greatly from this. 479 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: There's no story on their own website. Doesn't this feel 480 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: like a thirty for thirty? Is that what ESPN does? 481 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: They wait until there's a little time separating this, and 482 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: it's like thirty for thirty. Bishop Sycamore. Yes, Todd, which 483 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: is the age of some of the kids that played 484 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: in the game. So okay, all right, yes, Paul, Yeah, 485 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,719 Speaker 1: if I'm Bailey Johnson, maybe I pull a twenty one 486 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: Jump Street and infiltrate the school. She can go to 487 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: school there online or or go to the building where 488 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: they kind of had classes, and she'd be like the 489 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: student manager. She'd get what's the guys, Jordan Jonah Heill 490 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: could join her? Yeah? Who was the other one? Channing 491 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: Tatum Tatum, Channing Tatum onenty three Jump Street A Bishop? Yeah, 492 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: I like that? And who did they played an academy? 493 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: Did they play IMG out of Orlando? I think, which 494 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: is real? Yes, yeah, that is a really out of 495 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: me and might be the number one team in the country, 496 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: I think. But like, after a while, the announcers are going, 497 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: it was thirty to nothing in the second quarte, it 498 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: could have been one hundred to nothing, and You're going, 499 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: this team is supposed to have Division one at least 500 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: ten Division one recruits, And I thought, well, they're not 501 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, pall all their recruits are going to 502 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: like the University of Phoenix, Southern New Hampshire University Online schools.

I think, oh my god. And 513 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: I feel bad for these kids because they're being promised 514 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: something and you have these coaches manipulating these kids. But 515 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: I think there's a go fund me page that they 516 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: were hoping to raise twenty thousand dollars. I think they 517 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: have two hundred dollars so far. Yeah, I mclovin, Yeah, 518 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: I sell them.

And 520 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: when I first saw this story, and then all of 521 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: a sudden, it felt like people had information, they just 522 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: didn't have an outlet to tell anybody about it. And 523 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, well, I'm hearing Oh well I 524 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: know this or I talked to this person. Yeah, seedon 525 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: what's crazy about it? Like, to me, the craziest part 526 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: is that these dudes think they're legit and enough that 527 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, let's go on ESPN and do this. 528 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: Let's go on ESPN and like make the whole world 529 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: known sort of who we are, because they, in their 530 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: mind it's legit. Can you still play this team if 531 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: you're the team in Tennessee or the team in Texas? 532 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: Does somebody step in? Do you actually grown up step 533 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: in and say, you know, this isn't a sanction football game. 534 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: You're playing against kids who were nineteen twenty years of age. Yeah, yeah, 535 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: I don't see how you could possibly play these older 536 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,719 Speaker 1: kids now, however bad they are, and if they've been 537 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: outscored three hundred and forty to twenty. You can't put 538 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: your kids at risk like that, and all of a 539 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: sudden one of your fourteen fifty year old kids gets 540 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,479 Speaker 1: knocked over by like a nineteen twenty year old. How 541 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: do you explain that to the parents letting this game happen. Yeah, 542 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: that's actually something I've been looking into. Is it an 543 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: illegal act to put a bunch of nineteen and twenty 544 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: year olds against seventeen year olds in a high school 545 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: football game. It doesn't matter that they got blown out. 546 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: That could be an illegal act, like endangering kids. You're 547 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: putting adults on a physical contest with underage minors. But also, 548 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: wasn't there a basketball player who came from another country 549 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: and he was a high school player, believe in Texas, 550 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: and he was around twenty eight years of age, and 551 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: he was he was dominating, and then somebody realized that 552 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: he was a grown man.

Football Outsiders has some information. 624 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: Football Outsiders simulates the season a million times to predict 625 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 1: the average number of wins for each team. And if 626 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: you're looking for over underbets, here are the teams that 627 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: Football Outsiders think will be over their win total. The Patriots, 628 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: now this was made before Cam Newton was cut, the Ravens, Lions, 629 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: and the Vikings. Now they don't go over by a 630 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: whole lot. But according to Football Outsiders, if you're somebody 631 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:06,919 Speaker 1: who gambles or entertainment purposes only, and Football Outsiders sort 632 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,959 Speaker 1: of created this analytics a long long time ago, didn't 633 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: they make it? As far as the media goes, they 634 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: were probably they were like the first big analytic website 635 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: and they had to think called DVOA, which I'm not 636 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: sure what it stands for, but it certainly has been 637 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: used a lot. Okay, but give me their approach. Like 638 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: so they, as far as I understand, they look really 639 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: the numbers, and we were talking about at pre show, 640 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: like they'll look at third and five and say what 641 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: a team produced in that situation, and they'll aggregate all 642 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: the numbers and the situations they don't really like, like 643 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: PFF actually looks at the miss block and determines that 644 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: they're just looking at crunching numbers, and based on this, 645 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: they really really love the Ravens, which is funny because 646 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: not a lot of real analysts are talking about well, 647 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: traditional analysts are talking about the Ravens. No, the team 648 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: they really love is the Lions because the Lions win 649 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: told was four and a half, and Football Outsiders says 650 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: that the Lions are gonna win seven games. All right, Yeah, 651 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: I know that's a big jump. Um, yeah, I mean 652 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: that's kind of surprising. But seven and ten with an 653 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: over under four and a half, I mean even six 654 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: and eleven, you're making money five and twelve unbelievable that 655 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: that one. They also they really like the Vikings. Yeah, 656 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: but I don't know, you know, there's this you know, 657 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: Kirk Covens COVID Kirk Cousins COVID situation. Do they do 658 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: you take that into account with the win totals? Yes, 659 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: because I told you at the beginning of the show 660 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: that some of the Vegas sharps are looking at the 661 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: over unders of teams that have quarterbacks who were not 662 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: vaccinated and one of those teams was New England. One 663 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: of those teams was Minnesota, one of those teams was Baltimore, 664 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: and another team was Dallas. Well, three of those teams 665 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: are on this list of take the Over. Yeah, Paul, 666 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm reading this outsiders DVOA. They basically take the situation 667 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: in the game and give you credit for beating a situation. 668 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: So it's third and one and your running back runs 669 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: for four yards, that's much more valuable than first and ten, 670 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: and you're running back runs for four yards because the 671 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: defense is targeting a run play there. If it's third 672 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: and fifteen and you get a first down, that's sixteen yards, 673 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: that's more valuable than first and ten getting sixteen yards. 674 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: Like the situational, you get bonus points for accomplishing tough 675 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: situations on offense. And I know some people have tweeted 676 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: the show and said the fact that you know Cam 677 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: didn't get vaccinated, could that have played into this? I 678 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: have no idea, and I don't know if Belichick is 679 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: going to say anything, but he did miss five days 680 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: at practice. But I have no idea. I know Kirk 681 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 1: Cousins is not vaccinated. Lamar Jackson not vaccinated, Dak Prescott 682 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: reportedly not vaccinated. But I don't know if that was 683 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: reason enough or a reason why the Patriots we're going 684 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: to go with mac Jones. Yeah, mclovin, I'm reading the 685 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: reasoning on football outires why they like the Patriots. They 686 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: remind us that they're bringing back all those guys who 687 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: opted out last year. They got Matt jude on from 688 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Like the defense could be the key. So 689 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: does it? Does it make a huge difference in the 690 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 1: wind total if they go Cam or mac Jones? I 691 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: thought it would. You would probably win more games with 692 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: Cam this year because it felt like they were building 693 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: the team for Cam this year. They brought in the 694 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: two tight ends, and Cam had his best success when 695 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: he had Greg Olsen in Carolina, and I thought to 696 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 1: keep him from not throwing the ball deep or relying 697 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 1: on him throwing the ball deep. I have those tight ends, 698 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: you got a lot of running backs, you got a 699 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: really good offensive line. It felt like that was one 700 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: of those we're not blowing people out, but we're going 701 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: to be in every single game, and with Cam running 702 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 1: for touchdowns, making some plays. But mac Jones is ready 703 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: when Bill Belichick signs off on this that Mac Jones 704 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: is ready, don't you think though? And I'm going way 705 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: way too deep deep state. When the Patriots play Tampa Bay, 706 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't Bill Belichick love nothing better than to roll out 707 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: Tom Brady Junior and beat Tom Brady in New England 708 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,839 Speaker 1: if you beat him with Cam okay, And look, I know, 709 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: maybe I'm reading way too much into this because Bill 710 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: wants to win, but man, if you could win with 711 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 1: Mac Jones in Week four as opposed to Cam Newton 712 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: home game, National TV, and you can put Mac Jones 713 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:48,479 Speaker 1: out there, or you might get embarrassed and Mac Jones 714 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: gets dominated by the Tampa defense. I don't know, but 715 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: I've just thrown that out there. The first thing that 716 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: came to mind was, like they play them in Week 717 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: four in New England. I mean, look at what they 718 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: just did to Patrick Mahomes. I know, dang, I know, 719 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: but I will say the Patriots offensive line better than 720 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: Kansas City's offensive line in the Super Bowl. Patriot's got 721 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,919 Speaker 1: a good offensive line, but they have like five running backs, 722 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: don't they That that they're keeping doesn't feel like that mclovell, 723 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: but they traded Sony Michelle. Yeah, it's a reminders. Yeah, 724 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 1: they have guys. They didn't need Sony Michelle. They probably 725 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: were going to cut Sony Michelle. I was located the 726 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: running backs. And everyone is saying Todd Todd Gurley's twenty seven, 727 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 1: he's still out there, and like team like Baltimore isn't 728 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: even picking him up. Is it amazing how fast you 729 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 1: can fall off? Well, that was devastating knee injury that 730 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: he had. I mean he had, like, I'm sure he's 731 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: got arthritis in that knee and he'll he'll struggle to 732 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: probably just walk when he gets older. But Todd got 733 00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: paid and uh but yeah at that age, and the 734 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,399 Speaker 1: Ravens need a running back with Dobbins out for the year. 735 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: Interesting Jeff in Detroit, Hi, Jeff, woulds on your mind today? 736 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: What up? No anything happening today? I mean, you know, 737 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: it's a kind of a slow news day. I tell you, 738 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: you know what to you guys, just credit. I do 739 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: not believe any other show has Jimmy Jimmerson breaking it 740 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: down like you guys. I mean, thank god we got 741 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: that guy. I'll pay roll here for us. Hey, listen, 742 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: I have another question for you too, Which one let 743 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: me talk to? Which one is absolutely gonna happen. The 744 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: La Rams with the healthy Matthew Stafford will make the 745 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: playoffs or the Detroit Lions won't make the playoffs. If 746 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: you had to put money on which one will absolutely happen? 747 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 1: Thank you, Jeff. I would say the Rams are going 748 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, and I would say that the 749 00:42:54,280 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: Lions won't make the playoffs. Easy taker. If if the 750 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,399 Speaker 1: Lions go seven and ten, that would be a good year. 751 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: And you know that's an improvement. Right now the over 752 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 1: unders four and a half. Yes, remember the bet I 753 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 1: have to drive to Detroit if they make the playoff. Yes, yeah, 754 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,320 Speaker 1: I am very confident that's not happening. Would you walk 755 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: to Detroit? Are you that confident? You'd be like Furst 756 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: Gump walking across the Yes, out like running, Hi, Jane. 757 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 1: We'll check in with the Saints.
