What you saw that 20 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: you liked and didn't like. We'll come up with a 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: poll question. Seaton will do the honors, but first let 22 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: me run down in no particular order. Scotty Scheffler wins 23 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: the BMW fifth win of the season, and it's his sport. 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: Now when you think about it, you know, Tiger separated 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: himself eventually. You know Phil was kind of there, Ernie 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: Els was there. You had other guys who were kind 27 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: of on the periphery who would you know sometime they 28 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: would step up in a week and challenge him, maybe 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: beat him. But this is Scotty Scheffler's and you're watching it, 30 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: and it's very methodical. It is, you know, drip drip, drip, 31 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: water torture as opposed to a guillotine. Tiger was a guillotine. 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: He would just cut your head off. Scotty's like, yep, 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: there he is again, and there he is again, and 34 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: there he is again. And then he did this on 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: the next to last hole yesterday. And this is how 36 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: it sounded. Do we have Scotty Scheffler Marvin or is 37 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: that our play of the day? 38 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: That is our play of the day. 39 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: Oh okay, so we're gonna save that. Okay, fair enough. 40 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: So Scotty Scheffler wins the BMW. I think the Happy 41 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: Gilmore cameo at the end of Happy Gilmore too. You 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: have over one hundred million people who have streamed that movie. 43 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: And I think this has helped too, that Scotty is 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's embraceable, but he's likable, he's enjoyable, 45 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: and you're watching and you're going, Okay, he's making fun 46 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: of himself, and I think that really helped. And he, 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: you know, had a four shot deficit and he caught 48 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: Robert McIntyre and then of course had some really great 49 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: performances shots that you want. You know, I hate when 50 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: somebody backs into a title, and Scotty Scheffler did not 51 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: back into a title. He went out, grabbed it and 52 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: won it, his fifth PGA Tour title of the season 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: and the first player to win five straight times on 54 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: the PGA Tour in consecutive years since Tiger Woods back 55 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: in six and seven. And I know it sounds blasphemous 56 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: to say, you know, put Scotty Scheffler in Tiger Woods 57 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: in the same you know conversation. I'm not talking about 58 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: the style, the presentation. I'm talking about the end result. 59 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: And that's where Scotty deserves to be put in that category. Now, 60 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: granted it's a smaller sample size. But if you're looking 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: at Tiger at his tiger Ish peak, Scotty is, you know, 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: at least close, he's at least in the conversation with that. 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: And once again, he's never he still looks like Carl 64 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: Spackler from what is it the Caddyshack. Yeah, whenever I 65 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: see him, you know he's got the beard there. It 66 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: just looks like Bill Murray's character in Caddyshack. But he 67 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: did it in a methodical way once again and very 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: impressive going into the Tour Championship. Also, preseason football, I 69 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: think we got to declare moratorium on going crazy with 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: our referendums on preseason football because I do have a 71 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: dilemma here. And I talk about this in certain sports 72 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: or athletes or teams where it's clickbait. And I have 73 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: told you this many many times. I don't subscribe to it. 74 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: I don't want to do it. It may, you know, 75 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 2: not be beneficial for this show or this my career. 76 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: But I have to present something when I feel like 77 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: it needs to be presented. And I'm watching shudor Sanders 78 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: play and I realized I have to pick a side. 79 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: It almost feels like you either say, hey, really, he 80 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: looked great, or hey, okay, you can't even cover it 81 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: yet be in the middle, you know, kind of neutral 82 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: with it, which is what I'm trying to be. I 83 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: thought he played really well, and then all of a sudden, 84 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: I see the coverage for Dylan Gabriel and you know, 85 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 2: I had a fumble and that had interception. The interception 86 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: was in his fault. And Jackson Dark with the Giants 87 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: played well, but nobody's going to talk about that. So 88 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: you're trying to find a middle ground with this with 89 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: what you say in the preseason, and it kind of 90 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: comes with, you know, a paustionary tale. You know, we'll 91 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: play these back in January, you know, when the season's 92 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: over for a lot of these rookies, then we'll probably 93 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: come back and go that was said. You know, it's 94 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: like freezing cold takes. We'll bring him back. And you know, 95 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: this person said this, I think should Or Sanders will 96 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 2: start a game for the Browns this season, said that 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: when they drafted him. But I don't have an agenda here, 98 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: and anybody who you know, believes in and should Or 99 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: Sanders shouldn't have been surprised at how he played. That 100 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: was the surprising part of it. If you think he 101 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: can play, then why were you surprised. I expect him 102 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: to be good. He played well in college. I voted 103 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 2: for him third on my Heisman ballot. But you know, 104 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: this outpour of media, I mean it was gushing, it 105 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: was dripping. It's like easy here, and you know he's 106 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: limited now due to an injury. I don't think he's 107 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 2: going to be their starting quarterback. I think it's Joe Flacco. 108 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 2: But I do think he'll get a chance. But I 109 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: think we need to be fair to Dylan Gabriel as 110 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: well in this situation. And if you want to throw 111 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: in Kenny Pickett, you know, it's kind of a hodgepodge 112 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 2: of quarterbacks there. But Shador Sanders played well. It's one 113 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: game in the preseason. It's like summer league basketball where 114 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I'll come in and go, oh 115 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: my gosh, this guy put up forty for the Pistons. 116 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 2: He don't even make the roster. I think should or 117 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: will play. But you do have to pick a side 118 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: almost because if I say something negative, well I'm a hater. 119 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: And then if I praise Shador Sanders, then I'm, you know, 120 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 2: on the bandwagon. With Dion and his son. I expect 121 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: him to play well, and he did play well, and 122 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 2: you can celebrate that, but I don't know what that means. 123 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 2: I did want to see composure. We talked Drew Brees 124 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 2: before vacation, and you know he wants to see those 125 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: guys who have a good thirty starts. Now that's where 126 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: you really get a sense of how good a quarterback 127 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: is or is going to be. Jayden Daniels and bow 128 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: Nicks had over fifty starts in their careers, playing at 129 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: two different places. Now you get a good sample size. 130 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: That's why we've had a lot of these quarterbacks recently, 131 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: high draft picks who maybe had one really good season 132 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: in college. It's not enough for me, and I think 133 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: that that's where we need to have buyer be ware 134 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: with all of this. Shad Or Sanders played well, but 135 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: I hate picking a side because I don't really have 136 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: a side on it. I want to be neutral with him. 137 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: You have football coming up tonight. You have the Commanders 138 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: and the Bengals. This is the holdout game, so Commanders 139 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: in the Bengals. The Bengals their minus five three and 140 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: a half in case you care, but this is the 141 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, Terry McLaurin game, neither will be there. And 142 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: this is where you know I said this about Michah Parsons. 143 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: If I hear that they're listening to offers in Dallas 144 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: or somebody is making an offer, now you have my attention. 145 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: I truly believe that this will come down to the 146 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: last week before we get to the regular season, and 147 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: Jerry will own all the headlines and Micah Parsons will 148 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: be brought in and he'll proudly say he's the highest 149 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: paid non quarterback in the game, and then we'll move on. 150 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: But as far as the Bengals go there listening, you know, 151 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 2: reportedly listening to trade offers, Now you have my attention. 152 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: And if you knew that you weren't going to sign him, 153 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: and you knew that he was going to hold firm 154 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: in what he wanted, then why didn't you think about 155 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: this prior to the draft? Why didn't you trade him? 156 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: That's when you could get more for him. But here 157 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 2: you are, and you're probably going to waste another Joe 158 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: Burrows season. You sign up your best receivers and you 159 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: have a defense that prevented you from making the postseason. 160 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: So this is where you look at if I'm a 161 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: fan and I go, you know, management failed us. Either 162 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: trade him back in March prior to the draft, or 163 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: sign him up. Let's go. You know, you only have 164 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 2: so many opportunities here, and you got a franchise quarterback, 165 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: a great quarterback, and great wide receivers. You're gonna have 166 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: to score a lot of points. Even if you have 167 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, and then you have Terry McLaurin. You had 168 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: this wonderful season last year, surprised everybody. He wants to 169 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: be paid. He wants to be paid accordingly to you know, 170 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 2: other receivers in the game. He doesn't do anything dynamic, 171 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 2: but he is there and he had a wonderful season, 172 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: and hopefully he gets the money he deserves. I hope 173 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson gets the money. I think it's really easy 174 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 2: to go. Let me blame the player. If I look 175 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 2: at production, Trey Hendrickson has been better than TJ Want 176 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 2: the last two years. Terry McLaurin his numbers, I can't 177 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: deny the numbers. But the NFL does not pay you 178 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: on what you did. They pay you on what they 179 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: think you'll do. And that's when thirty years of age 180 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati is different than thirty years of age in 181 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh because TJ want got paid. 182 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 4: All right, yes, PAULI, how about halftime tonight to spice 183 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 4: up the game, Trey Henderson negotiates with the Bengals live 184 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 4: on air. Twelve minutes halftime. You got to get the 185 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 4: contract done. You got twelve minutes. McLaurin, same thing. That's 186 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 4: good TV. 187 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: Sure, I'm good with that. Bengals probably wouldn't be in 188 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: favor of that. I'd love to know what those negotiations 189 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: sound like, feel like, and I mean, while we're at it, 190 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: and then you get but Jerry has to only have 191 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: the player in there. He doesn't want to have the agent. 192 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: So Jerry Joe couldn't do that, But wouldn't You'd love 193 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: to see how that goes down back and forth. This 194 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: is where what happens in the in these situations. And 195 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: it happened to me that management can tell your agent 196 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: whatever they want to tell them. Now, they wouldn't tell 197 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: you necessarily, but they will say, hey, as you know, 198 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: the great Mark Shapiro of the ESPN said to my agent, 199 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: you're over the hill. He's over the hill. And he'll 200 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 2: never get another job. Well, he says that to my agent, 201 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: and I'm like, God when he say that to me, 202 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: Yes he would, But you know it's per you know, 203 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: it's business, but for Trey hendricks and Terry McLaurin, it's personal. 204 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: This is their salary, this is their future, this is 205 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: their life. For Mike Brown and I mean, he's like, 206 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: this is just another contract for him, another holdout, another 207 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: situation that is so bengal esh And then you got 208 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: the commanders as well with Terry McLaurin. So, uh, you know, 209 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: proceed with caution in the preseason, going to reiterate that here, Satan, 210 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: what's the pole question today? Well, we could start there 211 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: in the NFL if you want. And actually, I've been 212 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 2: looking at a bunch of different articles about the best 213 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 2: destinations for Trey Hendrickson. I can't tell if some of 214 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 2: them are actually good destinations or if some of them 215 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: are just wishful thinking too right, So, like the Alliance 216 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 2: or top of that list, I think that would be great. 217 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: I do think they might have the wrong I'm not 218 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: a salary capologist, but I think they might have room 219 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: for something like that. And this is a team that 220 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: I don't think they had a sack against the Commanders 221 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. In their playoff game, Aiden Hutchinson of 222 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 2: course was out, but Detroit Is won. What are the 223 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: other ones? 224 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: I got a long list here, Buccaneers on that list. 225 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: That could be fun, Okay, it could be fun. I 226 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 3: think he lives in Florida. Commanders seem to be on 227 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: every list right now as a destination for people the 228 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 3: Chicago Bears. If you're Trey Hendrickson, are you leaving the 229 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: Bengals to go to the Bears. 230 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 2: I think he's leaving to go wherever they'll pay him. 231 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: I don't think he's loyal to Cincinnati. Just go. Here's 232 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: three years for thirty million dollars a year, thirty five 233 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: million dollars a year. How's that they are all done? 234 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: Three for one hundred, all done, sixty million guaranteed or 235 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 2: something done? Good? Good, Let's go. But I don't think 236 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: he goes Man, I really want to stay in Cincinnati. Yeah, Pauling. 237 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 4: I had the current list of salary cap space in 238 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 4: the NFL. The Lions are number two. They have forty 239 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 4: seven million currently in open cap spits. 240 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 5: All right, good point? 241 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: Any other places seating now? Here's that was one list 242 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: that I saw. This next four teams are a separate 243 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 3: list that I saw. The Carolina Panthers. 244 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: Okay, would you rather. 245 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 4: Hold out or play for the pace? 246 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: This is the holdout or playlist? 247 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: No, no, because I'd rather I just want to get paid. 248 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 2: If I'm Trey Hendrickson, I don't care, So I'm I'm 249 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: you know, even Carolin? All right, Caroline is nice. You know, 250 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: maybe he looks good in those uniforms. 251 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 3: You think he just wants to get paid? 252 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, at this stage of the game. Yes, yes, 253 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: have been to a super Bowl. 254 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 3: How about the Cleveland Browns team up with Miles Garrett? 255 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 3: It could be unstoppable there. 256 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: Bengals wouldn't trade in in the division, I don't think. Okay, 257 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 2: how about the Colts? Okay, yes, Paul. 258 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 4: I went back and looked to see if Trey Hendrickson 259 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 4: ever made huge money. He's never gotten top end defensive 260 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 4: end salary. He made nineteen million a couple of years ago, 261 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 4: eighteen million and twenty twenty three, quite a bit less 262 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 4: than his contemporary. He's at sixty eight million dollars in 263 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 4: his career. 264 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: But this is it. 265 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 4: This is the last deal and this upcoming year he 266 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: will be making sixteen million, which is less than half 267 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 4: of Garrett and Watt. 268 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break. We'll settle on a 269 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: poll question. We did have the Michigan verdict. After two years, 270 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: they finally NCAA showing its teeth, of course, but we'll 271 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: talk about that coming up. And also there's and it's 272 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: in the early stages that the Big Ten is offering 273 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: up a proposal for playoff expansion that could be twenty 274 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: four to twenty eight teams. Early stages, but I mean 275 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 2: we're headed in this direction. We just are. 276 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 277 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 278 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 279 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 6: He's Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Byern. We have a brand 280 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 6: new fantasy football podcast called I Want Your Flex.

Now? How would 294 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: you summarize the NCAA's punishment of Michigan football. 295 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 8: Ooh, that's a good question, Dan. I would summarize it, as. 296 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 5: You know. I guess it depends on who you asked, Dan. 297 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 8: You know, if you ask Michigan people, right, they say 298 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 8: it was too hard and the penalties financially or too stiff, 299 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 8: and that's probably a point of why they're appealing. Right, 300 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 8: if you ask everybody else in college football and college sports, 301 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 8: they'll say it was way, way too light, right, that 302 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 8: the NCAA should have given Michigan a postseason ban, and 303 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 8: they should have vacated wins in championships, and they should 304 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 8: have added more suspension and penalties. 305 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 5: To the current head football coach, Sharon More. 306 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 8: I think what the NCAA did, and they're starting to 307 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 8: move away from the vacated wins, right, they're starting to 308 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 8: move away from postseason bands because it penalizes sort of 309 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 8: innocent players that are currently on the team in future 310 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 8: players that will be on the team, So they're. 311 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,239 Speaker 5: Kind of moving away from that. 312 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 8: So they're just substituting these financial penalties, you know, for 313 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 8: the postseason ban. And if you look at the full penalties, 314 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 8: accumulative penalties, financial penalties, it's going to be over thirty 315 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 8: million dollars and probably as much as thirty five thirty 316 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 8: seven million dollars. I mean, that is a historic penalty 317 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 8: that we've just never seeing anything like it. And I 318 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 8: know it's easy to sort of roll your eyes that 319 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 8: they have a lot of money and they can pay it. 320 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 8: We're in an age of athlete compensation where they're going 321 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 8: to be everybody's going to be paying, you know, twenty 322 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 8: million dollars to their athletes starting this year. So I 323 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 8: don't think it's anything necessarily to roll the eyes at. 324 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 8: I think it was a pretty significant penalty, but it's 325 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 8: probably not what most people believed that they deserved. And 326 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 8: I think and I'll say one more thing about that, Dan, 327 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 8: is that if the NCAAA, which was tipped off in 328 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 8: October twenty twenty three, in the middle of that season. 329 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 8: That twenty twenty three season was tipped off to this 330 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 8: this Signce Deealing took a few days to start to 331 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 8: really vet it, realize it was real, and then alerted 332 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 8: the Big Ten, who then suspended Jim harb all those 333 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 8: three games. If Dan, if that doesn't happen and they 334 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 8: don't suspend and the Big Ten doesn't decide to suspend 335 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 8: Jim Harball, the NCAA doesn't alert the Big Ten of this, 336 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 8: Michigan probably does get vacated wins and maybe even gets 337 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 8: a postseason ban. 338 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: Wait to explain why. 339 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 8: I think the fact that you sort of dealt with 340 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 8: it immediately during that season. I think there's a thought 341 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 8: that the three games that the head coach was suspended, 342 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 8: and you remember he was suspended I think two or 343 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 8: three games earlier that season two for a separate investigation. 344 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 8: The fact that they immediately took action, you know, and 345 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 8: I think Charlie Baker said this after they won the championship, 346 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 8: is that you can't argue that they wanted sort of 347 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 8: fair and squares something like that. And and part of 348 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 8: the reason he said that is because of that three 349 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 8: game suspension for Jim Harborough. 350 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 5: It's like, we dealt. 351 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 8: With it then, right, we dealt with it there, and 352 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 8: I think they took that, the Committee on Infractions took 353 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 8: that under consideration, and if that wouldn't have happened, I 354 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 8: just have a belief that that championship would have been 355 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 8: in jeopardy of being vacated. 356 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: If I asked Jim Harbaugh, did you cheat or not him? 357 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: If I ask him did Michigan cheat? What do you 358 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 2: think his answer would be? If I just said yes 359 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 2: or no, did Michigan cheat? 360 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 8: I can't imagine Jim Harbaugh acknowledging in any way that 361 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 8: the University of Michigan cheated, or that he cheated, or that. 362 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 5: Anybody on its staff cheated. 363 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 8: You know, Michigan as well as Jim Harbaugh, i'm sure, 364 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 8: continues to contend that they really received not much of 365 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 8: a of an advantage from a signce stealing in the 366 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 8: advanced scouting, and that it shouldn't have been illegal, and 367 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 8: that it should it should be legal to go scout 368 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 8: your opponents. And many times Michigan administrators and coaches have 369 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 8: come to me and said, look, you know, years ago 370 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 8: this rule was almost changed to permit schools to do it, 371 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 8: but it's sort of a cost containment issue, and so 372 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 8: they continue. 373 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 5: To contend that they they didn't get any advantage. 374 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 8: And again, everybody else writing college sports will tell you 375 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 8: they did get an advantage, and I think the Committee 376 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,239 Speaker 8: on Infractions thought they did get an advantage. And if 377 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 8: we were in any other era Dan before this sort 378 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 8: of revshare type of era, Michigan would have received a 379 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 8: postseason ban almost certainly, and they would have had scholarship productions. 380 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 8: But this is sort of a new world, and so 381 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 8: they decided not to do that and go instead with 382 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 8: the financial penalties. 383 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 2: Okay, Jim Harbaugh has a ten year show cons which 384 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 2: means he can't come back and coach in college. Correct. 385 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: If it's now, that seems like a really harsh punishment 386 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 2: for him if he goes back. But he's not going back. 387 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: My question though, would be if he was still there, 388 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 2: what would his punishment be if this is his punishment 389 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 2: and he's not there. 390 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 5: Ross. 391 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 8: Yeah. Norman Bay, who was the chief, he was like 392 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 8: the chairman I think of the Committee on Infractions. He 393 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 8: gave a press conference last week after the ruling and 394 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 8: he was asked exactly that Basically, he was asked what 395 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 8: would have happened if Jim Harball was still the head coach? 396 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 5: What would the penalties have been? 397 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 8: And there was like, literally, Dan, there was like an 398 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 8: eight second pause and he just stared at the camera 399 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 8: and you could see the wheels turning, like, oh boy, 400 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 8: what do I say here? Finally he really sort of 401 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 8: danced around the question of you know, it's a hypothetical, 402 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 8: we're not going to get into that, but fairly clearly 403 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 8: the penalties would have been a lot more severe if 404 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 8: Jim Harball was Michigan's coach. There's no doubt about it 405 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 8: that it would have been a lot more severe. I mean, 406 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 8: I say that they have sort of stopped doing the postseason, 407 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 8: but if Michigan, if Jim Harball was still coach at Michigan, 408 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 8: you know, if it wasn't going to be if there 409 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 8: wasn't going to be a postseason ban, there was going 410 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 8: to be some kind of like season worth of suspensions 411 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 8: for him. 412 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 2: Talking to Ross Dellinger, Yahoo Sports senior college football reporter, 413 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: I saw the story floated by the Big Ten or 414 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 2: the Big Ten has an idea for playoff expansion twenty 415 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: four or twenty eight teams, and we're looking at the 416 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 2: Big ten and the SEC that they would get half 417 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 2: the field, and then you have the ACC and Big 418 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 2: twelve they get five bids, and then you would have 419 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 2: two automatic bids for the non Power four conferences and 420 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 2: two at large teams. So that escalated quickly. That were 421 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: at least we're talking about this. Now we're I know 422 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 2: we're headed towards this. Why how long is it going 423 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 2: to take to get there? 424 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 5: I think it's still going to take long. 425 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 8: And I think this idea is just was just an 426 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 8: idea and is just an idea, right, it was somebody 427 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 8: kind of described it to me. 428 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 5: I thought it was pretty accurate. 429 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 8: Back of the napkin stuff like this, what really is 430 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 8: like this is very very preliminary. 431 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 5: So this was a wor a week a week ago. 432 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 8: So last Monday, I think our last Tuesday, the Big 433 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 8: ten had a meeting with its its athletic administrators and 434 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 8: kind of just sort of presented this, Hey what do 435 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 8: you think and everybody sort of gave it the thumbs up, right, 436 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 8: and then they sent it to the SEC last middle 437 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 8: last week, early last week, and there was a preliminate 438 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 8: the first call between Big ten Commissioner Tony Pettiti and 439 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 8: SEC Commissioner Greg sank Friday about it, and it was 440 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 8: just sort of a going through it. 441 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 5: What do we think of this? 442 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 2: You know it? 443 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 8: I think the Big ten is sort of like trying 444 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 8: to get a feel for where the SEC is, and 445 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 8: there's really been no answer there from the SEC. But 446 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 8: this week there could be some kind of answer. The 447 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 8: SEC Athletic Directors meet for a regularly scheduled meeting this 448 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 8: week and so I'm guessing it will come up. But Dan, 449 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 8: this is so preliminary, like it's on I heard about 450 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 8: it Thursday. I decided that I wouldn't write about it 451 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 8: because it was so preliminary. ESPN did write about it 452 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 8: on Saturday, which forced all of us to write about it. 453 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 8: But I went to somebody who was very involved in 454 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 8: the process about like, Hey, I'm writing something. They're like, 455 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 8: there's nothing to write. This is a non story. It's 456 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 8: just starting. We haven't even gotten to the first step 457 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 8: of it. And they are right, I mean, this is 458 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 8: very preliminary, so I think we're still a ways away. 459 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 5: But Dan, I think we always knew when we went. 460 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 8: College, when college football went from two to four and certainly, 461 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 8: when it went from four to twelve, we knew this 462 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 8: was inevitably it was going to go to at least sixteen, 463 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 8: and so I think that's still where the focus is. 464 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 8: It's trying to get this thing to sixteen. But there's 465 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 8: a deadline December one where they have to make a 466 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 8: decision on next year's playoff. Obviously, this year's is twelve, 467 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 8: and that's all set. We're trying to decide on next 468 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 8: year and then there and in the next five years. Right, 469 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 8: the new kind of six year extension that starts next year, 470 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 8: so they have to December one. I have a feeling 471 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 8: next year's playoff will be where it is this year. 472 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 8: It certainly will not be twenty four to twenty eight teams, right, 473 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 8: This is not happening within a year. 474 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: Great to talk to you, Thanks for joining us, No problem, 475 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: Thank you, Ross Dellinger. 476 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 477 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: the nation.

He was a former defensive tackle, six 481 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 2: time Pro Bowler, and third overall pick in the draft 482 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: twenty ten. I believe three of the four top four 483 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 2: were from Oklahoma, right, Jerald. 484 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 9: That sounds absolutely perfect. Yes, it was three to four picks. 485 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 9: It was Sam and then I went and then Trent 486 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 9: went number four. 487 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 2: And then and Dominican Sue was in there as well. 488 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 10: It was two. Yes, but. 489 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 9: Five of the top six were from the Big twelve, 490 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 9: so we had something going that year. 491 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 2: Okay, let me give the official introduction.

Do coaches give pregame speeches in the preseason. 495 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 10: Yeah, they do. 496 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 9: Preseason is still about preparing the team, and somebody has 497 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 9: to play the game, whether it's the starters, the backups, whoever. 498 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 9: The game still has to be played. And most coaches say, hey, 499 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 9: they keeping scoring. We want to go out and win, 500 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 9: and we've been working on all these things, whether you've 501 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,719 Speaker 9: had joint practices or not, whether you've just been practicing together, 502 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 9: whatever we've been working on. 503 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 10: Coach wants to go see you executed in the game. 504 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 9: The coaches do a great job of not trying to 505 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 9: downplay what preseason is that's more like the starters and 506 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 9: the players that will do something like that. But the 507 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 9: coaches they locked in at all times. I'm talking about 508 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 9: they still yelling on the sideline. They still is still 509 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 9: a game. So yeah, they do can get pregame. 510 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 2: Speeches, Okay, But how do I process the Bills getting 511 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: blown out by the Bears? That we know the Bills 512 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: are good, they got embarrassed by the Bears. Let me 513 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 2: look at it from the Bills perspective of how would 514 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: you feel if you played for the Bills and you 515 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: got blown out like that? 516 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 9: Well, it's not a great feeling because we've been practiced, 517 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 9: We've still been practicing, and we've still been working on 518 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 9: the things that we do. 519 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 10: So you go out in the game and don't put up. 520 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 9: Any points like none, that is, that's not a great 521 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 9: feeling for whoever's out there because preseason, some of these 522 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 9: games might be the only NFL football some of these 523 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 9: guys ever played, and they live and tell stories off 524 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 9: their preseason experience and their game. 525 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 10: So if you go out there. 526 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 9: And the only experience you've ever had you got blown 527 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 9: out thirty eight zero, that's not a story you want 528 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 9: to tell. But also for the coaches who are trying 529 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 9: to look for the special teams players and the guys 530 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 9: who might be the backups. It's not a good look 531 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 9: for them either. So I'm pretty sure those meetings are 532 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 9: not pleasant this week. 533 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: What's it like when somebody gets cut in training camp? 534 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 9: It's horrible. It's something you don't want to see. I 535 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 9: remember in the spring, we this wasn't even training camp, 536 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 9: it's a spring. I can't remember what year it was, 537 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 9: but all the d line it got together after workouts 538 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 9: and meetings and we went to see a movie. And 539 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 9: while we were sitting in the theater during the movie, 540 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 9: one of the guys instead of was all right, Fellas, 541 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 9: I'm gonna get out of it, it was like the 542 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 9: movie just started. He was like, Oh, they just cut me, 543 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 9: so I gotta get out of here. I was like, 544 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 9: and we were just like, Bro, do we sitting enjoy 545 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 9: the movie or do we leave? Like we don't. We 546 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,959 Speaker 9: don't know what to do. It's a it's a bad feeling. 547 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 9: I've seen so many different cuts. We've been sitting in 548 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 9: the meeting the day of final cuts, and you feel 549 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 9: like once you make it to team meeting, all right, 550 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 9: we're good. But I found that out many a time, 551 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 9: even making it to that meeting. It's not so you 552 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 9: walk around, you see people like looking around the corner 553 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 9: hoping they don't you know, get called, and then you 554 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 9: get in the team meeting. One time we was in 555 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 9: the team meeting the team's starting and Shelton Quarrels. We 556 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 9: called him the grim Reaper in Tampa because he was 557 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 9: the one who would come grab you. So we was 558 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 9: all like, you know, like everybody look out for the 559 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 9: grim Reaper. So we we sit at the team meeting 560 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 9: and then we see we hear that back door open up, 561 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 9: and everybody turned around and Shelton. We was like, oh 562 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 9: my gosh, he came to grab somebody. And then one 563 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 9: time it was week one, Week one, the first practice, 564 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 9: so we come back that Monday before the first week. 565 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 9: It's not that Wednesday. Is that Monday? So you want 566 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 9: to get to that Wednesday. So the Monday comes up, 567 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 9: we outside of practice and Shelton walks on the field 568 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 9: to practice to the warm ups and grab somebody off 569 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 9: the field. I was like wow, I said, man, this 570 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 9: business is ruthless. This is just yeah, it's not a 571 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 9: great feeling. It's not something you want to see. 572 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 2: And because it's your dream. Yeah, think if you made 573 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 2: it through the first week. In the first game, it's 574 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, I feel like I've made the roster. 575 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 2: I'm pretty safe there. 576 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 10: That's what it feels like. 577 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 9: But I tell people all the time, man, the NFL 578 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 9: is about adjustments, not just game day adjustments. You really 579 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 9: have to adjust to everything, just to new coaches adjust 580 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 9: new players, adjust to the weather. Everybody plays hurt, nobody's 581 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 9: healthy after the first day of practice. 582 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 10: It's just a game of adjustments. 583 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 9: This roster you start with, even in week one, might 584 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 9: not be the roster you go into the game with, 585 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 9: but definitely the ross you start with week one at 586 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 9: the roster you go in week seventeen with. 587 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 10: So it's just all about adjustments. 588 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 2: Is Gerald McCoy works for NFL Network as an analyst 589 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 2: and former defensive tackle. NFL Network has six preseason games 590 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 2: that'll be a quadruple header this Saturday, August twenty third, 591 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 2: starting at one Eastern. The difference in the sound of 592 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback at the line of scrimmage and Tom 593 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 2: Brady any veteran in any of those guys, the sound 594 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 2: their voice is their difference. If I say, just listen, 595 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: you can tell a rookie at the line of scrimmage 596 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 2: and a veteran. 597 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, you can definitely tell the difference, the level of confidence, 598 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 9: how to operate, even the communication from the office of 599 00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 9: the line rookies depending on who's the center. This is 600 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 9: what a lot of people want to know is I 601 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 9: don't care how good the rookie is. If he has 602 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 9: a vet center, he's going to depend a lot on 603 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 9: his center for protections. 604 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 10: Changing plays a lot of things that's going. 605 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 9: So you may hear the rookie calling it, but they're 606 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 9: real indecisive with things they want to do. 607 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 10: The center helps them out a lot. I remember this 608 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 10: happening with. 609 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 9: Cam trying to think of some other young guys that 610 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 9: I played. I really can only really think of Cam 611 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 9: right now because that's why I played in the division. 612 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 10: But Ryan Couli will help Cam out a lot. 613 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 9: Cam was very decisive as he got older, But when 614 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 9: we first played, Cam would call things out. But we'll 615 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 9: be at the line and Ryan would be calling out, no, 616 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 9: we're not doing this, We're going here here Cam, and 617 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 9: they would be going back and forth like okay, confirming 618 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 9: what's going on, but then he played at Drew Brees 619 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 9: or Matt Ryan and oh shoot. 620 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 2: Kill kill kill kill you, Like, man, what the. 621 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 10: Heck is going on? 622 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 8: Okay? 623 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 9: Switching well, I think please check ain't something because Drew 624 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 9: was out there, like Drew is cerebral man, and he 625 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 9: listened and Drew me and Drew tray together. 626 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 10: So that's what made that fun. 627 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 9: He would be talking like looking at me, like making 628 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 9: changes like look at me, dead in my face, like 629 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 9: let me know, y'all not about to stop this, you know. 630 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 9: So it was it was always fus you know, going 631 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 9: back and forth with Drew. 632 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 2: What was it like to tackle Cam Newton? 633 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 9: So I don't know if y'allve ever seen like Toddler's 634 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 9: like really feel like they can take their parent down, 635 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 9: like really feel like they can jump on their dad's 636 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 9: leg and tackle them and then the dad is like 637 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 9: like wrapped around their leg and they just like dragging 638 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 9: you across the carpet. That's pretty much what it feels 639 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 9: like trying to take Cam down. Because Cam, in my 640 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 9: time was the most elusive. I still think he's the 641 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 9: most elusive quarterback ever, simply because we've seen Lamar, we've 642 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 9: seen Vic seen Randall cunning here. We've seen all these 643 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 9: people be elusive to where they can escape. But Cam 644 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,760 Speaker 9: was doing everything they're doing at six six to fifty 645 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 9: to sixty doing it. But he's just as smooth. He 646 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 9: can run, not as fast, but he can run very fast. 647 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 9: He's outrunning people. He can make you miss. And he 648 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 9: had that fake to the right, spin back out to 649 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 9: the left, he had that step forward, step back move. 650 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 9: Cam had everything you needed to be an a loosive quarterback. 651 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 9: But then when you hit him, it's like, please go 652 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 9: down because he had all this paddy He had pads 653 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 9: on his arms, he had pads on his calves, he 654 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 9: had the flack jacket.

Terry McLaurin, Yeah, 735 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 2: which one? Which one is? You know potentially serious that it? 736 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 2: You know, a player could change teams. 737 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 9: If I have somebody that could really change the team, 738 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 9: is Michael Parsons THEO. 739 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 2: Going to another team? 740 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 10: Gonna go to another team? 741 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 9: Probably Trendon a Trey Henders said, there's a real possibility 742 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 9: he could get traded. You think about san Fran could 743 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 9: trade for him. I would love to see him go 744 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 9: to the Bucks. He could, you know, possibly Washington, Washington 745 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 9: definitely use him to Missing Peace. But I think it's 746 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 9: the real possibility he can get traded out of there. 747 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 9: Because we've seen the history of Cincinnati. They just they 748 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 9: just don't pay people. It's just like this is always 749 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 9: like a reoccurring thing.

Mike could definitely 754 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 9: is not getting traded. But yeah, if I have to 755 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 9: pick anybody's trade, Hendrickson. 756 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 2: Give me your sneaky team this year. 757 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 9: The Raiders. The Raiders. He Carroll, he's a ten win coach. 758 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 9: It's just it's just what he does.

That's just that's Pete carries one of 764 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 9: them guys with ten wins. He just he knows how 765 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,240 Speaker 9: to win. He has a formula. He runs the ball, 766 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 9: physical run game. He had Marshall Lynn. You go get 767 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 9: Ashton jim t because this is my style, this is 768 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 9: what I want to do. You go out and get 769 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 9: a quarterback that you know can play. That's a vet 770 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 9: that you don't have to teach him. He's won some games, 771 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 9: made the playoffs. Gino Smith, you already got brought Bowers. 772 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 9: You go draft offensive lineman so you can run the 773 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 9: ball and be physical. 774 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 10: You got your. 775 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 9: Receivers that could take the top off the defense. Max 776 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 9: Crosby's on the other side. I know with John Spotech 777 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 9: the GM. I was with him in Tampa. I know 778 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 9: his philosophy and how he builds teams. I just believe 779 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 9: that this team is going to shock a lot of 780 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 9: people with the things they can do, but the formula 781 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 9: they have, Pete Carroll's just a winner. And in that 782 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 9: city in Vegas, Pete Carroll fits that perfect. He recruited 783 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 9: me when he was at USC, so I've seen how 784 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 9: he can handle big cities and how he can handle 785 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 9: the lights.

This is just who Pete Carroll is, and 788 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 9: I know what he can do, and I believe that 789 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 9: they're going to be a team that sneaks up on 790 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 9: a lot of people. 791 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,240 Speaker 2: Oklahoma paid better than USC. 792 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 9: Hey, listen, let me tell you something.
